What will happen if the army is broken? It's not that you can't see your own soldiers, but that you're surrounded by pits and valleys full of soldiers, and these people don't listen to your commands.

In the era when there was no TV and photos, there were not many soldiers who had really seen Sun Chuanting in the battalion, even if someone recognized this as Inspector Sun, but at the critical moment of rushing to escape, who would pay attention to this bad old man?

Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that the soldiers that the superintendent needs most now are those pawns who go to the back to intercept Li Chuang's army, and they are the unlucky ones who are thrown to the thieves to kill and enslave and slow down! The most haode way is to escape by yourself, the fortune teller who can escape is big, and the one who can't escape is also the fate.

Sun Chuanting naturally would not stupidly call on the Ming soldiers around him to turn back and fight, and he would not use his own soldiers to suppress him. If it arouses everyone's resentment at the moment, it is likely that he will be kidnapped by the bold rebels to see Li Zicheng.

Although the rebels will not attack the city, it is difficult to see a Ming army in formation on the road from Jiaxian to Ruzhou, the county seat, the military fort, and all the points guarded by high-walled gates. With the news of the defeat of the chaotic army, the Ming army here also began to break and flee, only the two boys who were brave and not afraid of death were still robbing the rich in the city, and they were ready to take off their armor and fall into the grass after this battle.

Sun Chuanting passed Baofeng and dispersed more than a dozen rebels besieging a family. The family only thought that a new robber had arrived, and they did not dare to open the door. Inspector Sun did not stop, although he did good deeds, he did not leave his name, urging his subordinates to pass through the city and rush straight to Ruzhou. He didn't dare to imagine what kind of reproach he would face after seeing the prince, but he just had a glimmer of hope that this rout would not affect the prince's safety.

"Overseer!" Niu Chenghu rode on a horse and drove the rout soldiers who were blocking the road to the side.

"What's the matter?" Sun Chuanting almost became a frightened bird, and asked nervously: "Is Ruzhou also in chaos?" ”

"There is an army of officers and soldiers in front, under the banner of the guard battalion of the East Palace, they are gathering the chaotic soldiers, I am afraid that the prince has already gone south from Ruzhou!" Niu Chenghu is full of anger. But there was a hint of horror on his face.

Sun Chuanting only felt that his back molars were itchy, and he slandered in his heart: His Royal Highness the Prince, I really don't know how to write dead words! His more than 1,000 people want to collect tens of thousands of defeated soldiers!? Do you want to compete with Li Zicheng, who has 100,000 troops? This...... This...... This is self-defeating!

"Overseer?" Niu Chenghu shouted: "My subordinates have sent someone to inquire, does the superintendent want to prepare?" ”

"What else is there to prepare?" Sun Chuanting said in frustration: "Send someone to inform the East Palace, the back is unguardable, hurry up and withdraw to Xi'an." ”

"Inspector, this is to say withdraw to Xi'an. I'm afraid that Donggong will be angry, so it's better to just say that he will withdraw to Luoyang. Niu Chenghu said.

Sun Chuanting took a step back and said helplessly: "Then let's retreat to Tongguan first." Luoyang may not be able to hold on for a few days. ”

As the two were talking, another fast horse rushed over. The knight on the horse was wearing a big red fat jacket of the Ming army, but it was obviously much brighter. He saw Niu Chenghu in armor at a glance, came over on horseback, and only stopped after three or five steps before Niu Chenghu's family was intercepted, and said loudly: "There is an order!" Is it Inspector Sun in front? ”

Sun Chuanting loosened the reins and stepped forward. Said: "It's this official!" Where is Your Highness now? ”

"Your Highness is three turns ahead!" The soldier said loudly: "Order: Spread the word that Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, will be seen immediately!" ”

Sun Chuanting was just about to receive the order, and a horse from the East Palace Tang with bright clothes and armor galloped over, and said, "There is an order!" The chief military officer Niu Chenghu entered the meeting! ”

Niu Chenghu was stunned for a moment, and then understood: it must be the person he sent who had already spoken to the East Palace.

Sun Chuanting looked at Niu Chenghu and said, "Just all the way." This is said lightly, but it is an opportunity for communication between the two defeated generals Zuihou. Sun Chuanting's four words are clearly an exhortation to Niu Chenghu and let him take care of the overall situation. Don't betray your boss or colleagues in exchange for a chance to be exonerated.

Niu Chenghu nodded. Said: "The subordinates just escorted the overseer. "Although the commander-in-chief of the military towns in various places is controlled by the superintendent when he goes out on the expedition, he is not a subordinate in the true sense of the word. Many overseers were unable to transfer their commanders at all, and some had to trade with each other to take what they needed. Strong supervisors such as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting are rare in the world.

Sun Chuanting got Niu Chenghu's words, and he was slightly relieved. Follow the Donggong Tang horse to the three turns.

The three turns are less than three miles away.

Sun Chuanting walked not far away, and saw that torches had been lit in front of him, like three fire dragons, stretching for a mile. When he got closer, he found that this was not the East Palace guard. Instead, a temporary wooden frame was erected on the left, center, and right sides of the official road, dividing an official road into two roads.

The wooden frame was crudely erected, and some of the front had been scattered by the rout, but it was only a little more secure in the back, and from time to time the soldiers could be seen standing in it with guns, shouting loudly for the rebels not to crowd and push.

"Reward for those who obey! Those who disobey orders will be killed! The soldiers did not move, but took turns shouting, regardless of whether they were listening. Their voices could barely be heard a few steps in the chaotic flow of people, and if Sun Chuanting hadn't walked to him, they wouldn't have been able to hear them at all.

- Is this the collection of rebels? What can it be used for?

Sun Chuanting didn't think so, just frowned slightly and rode over.

After passing through the section of the road that was divided into two roads, more East Palace guards appeared in front of them. This time, it's not just shouting, it's all soldiers who are wearing perseverance. These soldiers stood in front of them, and behind them were the people and auxiliaries, picking up sledgehammers and smashing wooden stakes into the ground, in order to divide the not very open official road into three passages.

"It seems to have one of us." Niu Chenghu approached Sun Chuanting and asked suspiciously.

Before Sun Chuanting could speak, he heard a soldier with a Qin accent shouting in Shaanxi dialect as if singing in Qin dialect: "Brothers! Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front, everyone is lined up! There is food and drink! Eat and drink, no matter what sin! He said in this tone, and some people followed one after another, all of them were Qin Di accents, obviously Qin soldiers were defeated.

Sun Chuanting stepped forward, grabbed the Qin soldier and asked, "Which one are you?" ”

The Qin soldiers were startled when they suddenly saw a general in armor coming, and they were used to kneeling down, and said, "The villain is under the account of General Bai." ”

"Where's Bai Guangen?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"I don't know," the little soldier said, "The villain ran with the big guy all the way, and when he got here, he was collected, collected, and incorporated by the guards of the East Palace." ”

Sun Chuanting didn't ask any more questions, and walked forward from the narrowed passage.

The stake-making team continued for a full mile, and Sun Chuanting finally saw the camp flag fluttering not far away. All the rout soldiers who flocked to this place had lost their strength, and they were numbly divided into various camps by the guards of the East Palace guard battalion. They were organized into a line, given out dry food and soup, and taken to the camp to rest.

Sun Chuanting smelled a faint salty smell in the air, it should be the East Palace using food to appease the rout. He thought that these Sanqin disciples brought out by himself had survived, and half of the stones in his heart had fallen.

Walking to the front of the gate, Sun Chuanting turned over and dismounted, and said to the guards: "Please inform Your Highness, the criminal minister Sun Chuanting asks to see you." ”

After a while, a word came from the camp: "Sun Chuanting and Niu Chenghu will see you immediately!" ”

Sun Chuanting simply put aside the worries in his heart, saluted like a ritual, and walked towards the camp. Niu Chenghu followed him, and walked straight to the sound of iron armor on his body, but he was trembling, for fear of being held accountable for the crime of defeat. The two of them went straight to the big tent, and after guarding the door to report, they bowed through the tent door, did not dare to raise their heads, and bowed to the end: "The criminal minister Sun Chuanting (Niu Chenghu), meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Zhu Cihong stood up and stepped forward to help Sun Chuanting up, only to find that Sun Chuanting was indeed eight feet tall and upright. And this overseer has a handful of beautiful cheeks, not long or dense, just right, which is exactly the beard shape that Zhu Cihong likes.

If it weren't for the dust, he would really be a central minister with both demeanor and demeanor.

"Mr. Shiratani, today's thief is not the former Amon." Zhu Cihong smiled warmly.

Sun Chuanting was frightened and uneasy, and lowered his head under the gaze of the prince. Shibei was impressed to see that Amon had become a hegemon in the past, but he would still face the jailers, what a humiliation! (To be continued......)
