Chapter 56: The Turtle Governor

Wang Er was shot several times in the body and died a terrible death, and he was also the first leader of the people's army to be killed, as soon as he died, his subordinates immediately collapsed in morale, and retreated in panic, even those wounded and lying on the ground struggling and wailing did not care about them.

The 1,000 Baishui County soldiers who charged were already suffering heavy casualties under the repeated bombardment of artillery fire and grenades from the official army, and it was a miracle that they did not collapse, and their morale was all supported and inspired by the courage of the chief soldier Wang Ershen, and as soon as Wang Er died, the morale collapsed immediately.

"Out of the camp and in formation." Sun Chuanting, who had been observing the battle situation at the front, immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

The whining horn sounded, and the officers and soldiers opened the camp gate, removed the antlers and horses, and poured out of the camp like a tide, and lined up on the flat ground.

"Retreat."

Wang Jiayin heard that Wang Er was killed, and his heart was in a trance, although he didn't like Wang Er's uprightness and violence, but Wang Er was indeed a fierce general who charged into battle, and his death was a big loss.

Hearing the sound of horns in the barracks of the official army, he shivered excitedly, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, the victorious army could not be overcome for a long time, the spirit has been frustrated, several rounds of offensive casualties exceeded 1,000, the chief officer Wang Er was killed, the morale of the department collapsed, the morale of the army was shaken, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was in full swing, so they could only withdraw the army, and then talk about avoiding the edge for the time being.

The Chang Shengjun was demoralized early, and when he received the order to retreat, he immediately scrambled to smear the soles of his feet and slip away, and he didn't even take care of the logistics baggage, so he cheapened Sun Chuanting in vain, and Sun Chuanting ordered to stop the pursuit and clean up the battlefield on the spot. It's not that he doesn't want to chase, but the Chang Shengjun slipped away too fast, and the officers and soldiers happily cleaned up the battlefield and picked up the spoils of war, whether it was a corpse or a light or serious wounded, they were all beheaded and meritorious, and the corpses were dug and buried to avoid the plague.

The next morning, Sun Chuanting waved his army to attack the city, he was worried that Wang Jiayin would lead his troops to kill back, and sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor.

There were only 1,000 defenders in Shenmu County, and they once sent troops out of the city to assist Wang Jiayin in attacking the camp of the official army, but the troops were too small, and the weapons and equipment were scum, so they did not put much pressure on the officials and troops, and they bluffed, and they withdrew to the city after killing more than 100 people.

The leader in charge of defending the city stood at the head of the city, helplessly watched the main army and the official army tear apart, and then saw that the main army failed to attack the camp, retreated in panic, and immediately frightened his face was pale and bloodless, and after returning home, he instructed his newly married beautiful wife to pack up the gold and silver, and prepare to run away.

There was no way, there were few troops, scumbags of weapons and equipment, there were few heavy equipment to defend the city, there was not a single artillery, and even the main army was defeated and retreated by the officers and troops, and he didn't even have the slightest confidence in holding the city.

When the official army set up the Franc machine gun and bombarded the city, killing some soldiers and crashing the city gate, the victorious army defending the city collapsed, abandoned the city and fled, Sun Chuanting led the army into the city, but when chasing and killing the rout, it was blocked by the people.

As soon as the city was broken, the people in the city rushed to escape from the city, most of them were the victims of the disaster, they participated in the attack on the county yamen granary, killed the officers and soldiers of the yacha, grabbed the grain and other actions, fearing the retaliation of the officers and soldiers, all fled, there were too many people who fled, and they rushed to be the first, crowded at the gate of the city, and blocked the road.

Sun Chuanting ordered the pursuit to stop, he did not have the bad habit of killing good and attacking aggressively, and he could not poison the unarmed people, and after controlling the situation in the city, he sent people to post notices to calm the people and appease the panicked people.

He governed the army quite severely, the rewards and punishments were clear, and he was extremely supported by his subordinates, although the incident of disturbing the people occurred, but it was not too serious, after being beaten on the spot by Sun Chuanting, no one dared to harass the people, and the people saw that the discipline of this army was strict, so they were relieved, and sent people to call back the people who fled from the city.

After Sun Chuanting finished counting the granary, he couldn't help but secretly complain, the granary had very little grain in stock, and the military rations carried by the whole army were only enough for a few days, and the whole city could last for three or four days at most, and it had to be strictly controlled, and the grain merchants and landlords in the city either escaped or were dealt with by the Chang Shengjun, and the family property was confiscated, coupled with the drought for many years, there was no harvest, and there was a civil uprising, and the grain merchants did not dare to transport grain to do business, and they did not necessarily buy grain if they had money.

As a last resort, he could only issue a gag order, while sending people to nearby villages to collect food, and on the other hand, sending people to his boss Sun Chengzong for help, no matter how capable he was, he couldn't change food, once the food was cut off, let alone another civil uprising, I was afraid that even his subordinates would mutiny, which was a more serious and fatal matter.

Wang Jiayin led the army to retreat in a hurry, and even threw away important military supplies such as grain, grass, weapons and equipment.

After collecting the troops, Wang Jiayin ordered a temporary rest, and at the same time convened all the generals to discuss things, the withdrawal of the army, Shenmu County was determined to lose, the morale of the whole army was low, and important military materials such as grain, grass, weapons and equipment were lost.

After making a decision, Wang Jiayin led the army to continue the journey, retreating to Wubao County, seeing that the sky was getting dark, he could only camp on the spot and rest for the night, and the important military supplies such as grain and grass were lost, and everyone could only stay miserable in the woods on the side of the road for a night.

Fortunately, some of the soldiers carried dry food with them when they ran, and they also took away a lot of mules and horses, and slaughtered barely enough to get through, it was better than starving. After dawn, I gathered and counted the number of people, and found that there were nearly 100 people missing, and it was estimated that they had deserted in the second half of the night.

If it is peacetime, Wang Jiayin is the military law, and he will definitely send troops to catch and cut off his head to show the public, but now is the period of Tezhu, he can only let go of these deserters, he led the army to continue the journey, after passing the Fuhu Slope, the scout scouts sent back with a panicked look and reported that the county town of Wubao has been occupied by the official army, and is killing this side.

"What did you say?" Wang Jiayin's eyes widened, and he grabbed the scout's chest with his hand, Wubao County was lost, how could this be?

He sent people to closely monitor the movements of Xi'an Mansion, knowing that Sun Chengzong, the governor of Shaanxi, took the commander Sun Chuanting as the vanguard, and personally led the main army to clear out his victorious army, Sun Chuanting's vanguard army went fast, but Sun Chengzong's main army was a turtle march, grinding, and did not go out of the territory of Xi'an Mansion for two days, so he chose to eat Sun Chuanting's vanguard army first, and as a result, he broke his front teeth and suffered heavy losses.

According to the speed of Sun Chengzong's main army, even if he led the whole army to withdraw to Wubao County for two or three days, Sun Chengzong's main force arrived slowly, but the reality is skinny, Sun Chengzong's main army unknowingly attacked and occupied Wubao County, cut off his retreat, and scared him and all the soldiers stupid.

was played by the eldest grandson and the younger grandson.

In fact, if he thinks about it a little carefully, he can also find some clues from it, he has been sending a lot of scout scouts to closely monitor Sun Chengzong's main army, however, those scout scouts were killed by the scouts sent by the official army, and the scouts lost contact for a long time, Wang Jiayin did not realize that this was a serious dereliction of duty.

Of course, the attack on Sun Ziting's headquarters failed, not to mention the loss of troops, the army retreated in a panic, and even important military supplies such as grain, grass, weapons and equipment were lost, and he forgot these inconspicuous little things for a while.

The generals were shocked, Jiazhou is their home, Wubao County is equivalent to the gateway to Jiazhou, now that the door is closed, how can they go back? When they thought of the gold, silver and jewelry piled up at home and the beautiful wives and concubines they forcibly married, they all panicked in their hearts.
