Sun Kewang and the more than 1,000 captives who were captured, most of them were killed, especially the more than 400 captives under Sun Kewang and Li Zicheng, it was Zheng Jinhong who made this decision, Zheng Jinhong is the chief officer of the Zheng family's army, but everyone knows that this must be what Zheng Xunrui meant.

The siege of Zhang Xianzhong and the pursuit of Li Zicheng became more ferocious.

Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in the mountains at the junction of Wanxian and Yunyang, the Zheng family army was heavily stationed in Yunyang, blocking the land route of Kaixian and Jianshi, and the white pole soldiers led by Ma Xianglin were stationed in Wanxian County, blocking the waterway.

Li Zicheng is not much better, he is not familiar with the terrain, he has lacked the necessary food and grass support, and there are chasing soldiers behind him, and there is Tusi's encirclement and interception in front, so that he is out of breath, and the sergeants around him continue to lose, more than half a month has passed, Li Zicheng is still circling in Banzhou, and he can't enter Guizhou at all, and it is precisely because of the urgency of the situation that Gu Junen once again proposed to build a new one, and implored Li Zicheng to consider whether to find a way to return to Huguang or Henan, although it is said that he will encounter great danger, But it's always better than being trapped in the Banshu area.

In late May, Zhang Xianzhong finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to venture in the direction of Jianshi, hoping to open a bloody road and enter Shizhouwei in Huguang.

It's a pity that this area is heavily guarded by the Zheng family's army, Zhang Xianzhong made several temptations, encountered a heavy blow, and was sent out to explore the small stream of rogues. All were exterminated.

Seeing that there was no way out, Zhang Xianzhong made a decision to move in the direction of Wanxian, avoiding the Zheng family's army, and preferring to fight with the white pole soldiers. As long as you can open a bloody road from Wanxian County and enter the area of Dazhu and Qu County along the direction of Liangshan, you will be able to take a breath, at least you can raise a lot of grain and grass.

The waterway has been completely controlled by Ma Xianglin, and Zhang Xianzhong led the army and was named the front and rear armies. Along the mountain road, he swept towards Wanxian.

Zhang Xianzhong made a desperate bet and stayed in the mountains at the junction of Wanxian and Yunyang, there was no way out, and the team would eventually collapse. At that time, the Zheng army entered the mountains and was able to defeat the rebel army lightly.

Zhang Xianzhong's actions were very secretive, and after making a decision, he only informed Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, and Ai Nengqi, and did not allow them to leak any news, and all preparations were also carried out in secret.

Another decision made by Zhang Xianzhong. It was something that no one could have imagined, that was when he was only ready to keep the elite troops and go to Wanxian to fight a bloody road. A large number of sergeants need to be discarded so that these sergeants can rush through a gap with their blood so that elite sergeants can rush out of the gap.

At the end of May, Zhang Xianzhong made a sudden move and led the army in the direction of Wanxian.

Zhang Xianzhong's move was soon discovered by Zheng Jiajun's scouts. The news was quickly passed on to Ma Xianglin along the waterway.

Ma Xianglin fought bravely. Once, in the battle against the Houjin Tartars, he lost an eye. Known as the one-eyed horse, since the Liukou repeatedly entered Sichuan, he led the white pole soldiers, fought against the Liukou many times, and won each time, and it is for this reason that Ma Xianglin did not attach much importance to the Liukou, and always thought that it was not difficult to defeat the Liukou.

This time with the Zheng army's encirclement and suppression of the Liukou, Ma Xianglin has been leading the white pole soldiers to be stationed in the area of Dazhuliang Mountain, and later was ordered to garrison Wanxian, choking the roads in various places, so that the Liukou had no way to escape.

Got the information sent by Zheng Jiajun along the waterway, Ma Xianglin quickly began to deploy, and gathered the heavy troops around the official road ten miles away from Wanxian, no matter where Zhang Xianzhong entered Wanxian County, it was the only way to go, Zhang Xianzhong had more than 20,000 rogues under his command, and it was impossible to always shuttle in the mountains, not to mention that it took a lot of time, and the grain and grass could not be supported.

When Ma Xianglin had already deployed heavy troops to encircle, the officers around him reminded him that it was not in accordance with Lord Zheng's requirements that it should be divided into several levels of defense and interception, and not to arrange all the troops in one place, so that once the rogue opened a gap, he would be able to escape, and at that time, the pursuit of the white pole soldiers would be very passive.

Ma Xianglin did not listen to this opinion, he thought that it was impossible for the Liukou to break through the defensive formation he had set up.

There are only 3,000 white pole soldiers under Ma Xianglin's command, in addition to the sergeants drawn from various guards in Sichuan, a total of about 10,000 people are guarding in Wanxian County, of course, Ma Xianglin relies on 3,000 white pole soldiers the most.

Yunyang Wanxian and Liangshan area, the terrain is extremely special, that is, the roads are steep, and the army can choose very few marching roads, even if they are familiar with the local terrain, some of the roads that are too steep are all sighing, so for the Liukou, these roads are even more impossible to cross.

Zhang Xianzhong was able to operate in the area of Yunyang and Liangshan in Wanxian County, and rarely encountered the encirclement and suppression of the official army, relying on the steep terrain, but this was a double-edged sword, and when Zhang Xianzhong evacuated these places, he also had to suffer from the steep terrain.

There are pros and cons to everything.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was evacuating, cursed more than once for the difficulty of the road.

On 30 May, a fierce battle finally broke out on the official road ten miles away from Wanxian.

Zhang Xianzhong made a desperate bet, Ma Xianglin made every effort to prepare for the war, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the tragic battle began.

When the battle just started, Ma Xianglin occupied an absolute advantage, and the white pole soldiers and the guards and sergeants from all over the country held the main road, occupied the favorable terrain, and launched a fierce attack on the Liukou.

The biggest advantage of the white pole soldier is the white pole spear in his hand, which is a very unique weapon, equipped with a hook with a blade on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom.

In this battle, the weapons of the white pole soldiers played a huge advantage.

The charging rogues encountered a strong resistance from the white pole soldiers, and a large number of rogues fell, and the official road was stained red with blood.

Ma Xianglin, who commanded the operation, was extremely happy, and he thought that his wish to completely exterminate the rogues would soon be achieved.

Ma Xianglin received several letters from his mother Qin Liangyu, in which he praised Zheng Xunrui a lot, which made Ma Xianglin a little unconvinced, he thought that he was not far behind, so he held a breath in his heart, that is, he must kill the rogue Zhang Xianzhong to prove his ability.

But as the battle went on, Ma Xianglin gradually realized that the situation was wrong.

The Liukou is not afraid of heavy losses, and is often able to adjust in the shortest time to launch the next round of attack, and the momentum of the offensive is becoming more and more ferocious, which makes the white pole soldiers and other sergeants responsible for resisting feel pressure, after all, in terms of the comparison of troops, the Liukou is dominant, and the Liukou has been in the mountains for a long time, and is basically familiar with mountain and forest warfare.

Ma Xianglin couldn't have imagined that Zhang Xianzhong, who was desperate, had already made arrangements.

After a long time in the mountains, Zhang Xianzhong understands very well that fighting here is not about the number of sergeants, but about the strength of the sergeants' combat effectiveness, because of the difficulty of supply, the more troops there are, the more disadvantageous they are, so this time in the attack, he put the weak sergeants in the front, and the elite sergeants in the back, he will not take into account the death and injury of the sergeants, that is, he will continue to carry out the attack, let the relatively weak sergeants attack desperately in front, and it is the brave Li Dingguo who commands the attack. The lives of these sergeants were exchanged for a chance to break through.

The battle lasted for more than two hours, and when it was close to noon, Zhang Xianzhong came up with a killer idea.

All of his most elite sergeants were dispatched.

The rain of arrows appeared in an instant, and the white pole soldiers and the guards who were caught off guard were a little confused in an instant, and many of the sergeants fell from the arrows, they never thought that the liukou would be able to have such a strong combat effectiveness after suffering such heavy casualties.

The fierce battle began again.

But at this time, the situation was reversed, and the sergeants under Zhang Xianzhong began to gain the upper hand.

Many important places held by Zhang Xianzhong were taken over by the sergeants under Zhang Xianzhong, and the sergeants of the white pole guards gradually put themselves in a disadvantageous position, and the casualties began to increase significantly.

Zhang Xianzhong was confident that he would defeat the white pole soldiers, although he had fought with the white pole soldiers in the past, and had failed many times, but they were all small-scale operations, and he also found the disadvantages of the white pole soldiers, that is, the lack of experience in large-scale operations, and the lack of overall coordination ability.

If he faced Zheng Jiajun, Zhang Xianzhong would never dare to do this, if he charged like this, it would be a way to find death.

Zhang Xianzhong's analysis was accurate and grasped the weakness of the white pole soldiers.

The battlefield became brutal and bloody.

Half an hour passed, the gap had been torn open, and the white pole soldiers and the guards began to slowly retreat.

Li Dingguo, who was covered in blood, came to report and asked whether to continue the fight or lead the army to evacuate in the direction of Liangshan, Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while and made a decision, not to indulge in fighting, and quickly evacuated towards the Liangshan defense line.

Zhang Xianzhong is really afraid of Zheng Jiajun, if Zheng Jiajun suddenly kills at this time, then he has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, although he has an advantage now, but he can't fall in love with the war, and rapid evacuation is the most important task.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong lead the army to evacuate, Ma Xianglin had no choice, the white pole soldiers and the guard sergeants suffered heavy casualties, and they were unable to pursue at all, until this time, Ma Xianglin thought of the things mentioned in his mother's letter, and also thought of the requirements in the information sent by Zheng Jiajun, asking him to set up an ambush in sections to delay Zhang Xianzhong's evacuation.

Zheng Xunrui's request was actually to ask Ma Xianglin to delay Zhang Xianzhong's evacuation speed to the greatest extent, and wait for the Zheng family army to come quickly, and when the time comes, the two armies will be able to completely destroy Zhang Xianzhong.

It's a pity that this opportunity was buried by Ma Xianglin's self-confidence.

Is this providential? (To be continued)
