Chapter 576: The Last General Came to Protect King Shun (Middle)
"King Shun, the situation is out of control, let's withdraw quickly! If you don't leave, it's too late. ”
The chaos in the camp made Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong and others tremble, and saw that the west gate of the camp was tightly blocked by the fleeing rebels, where did they dare to delay, and dragged Li Zicheng to leave.
"Let's go...... Where to go? The world is so big, is there still a place for loneliness? ”
In less than two months, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed, which made Li Zicheng have a huge sense of powerlessness, the tiger rebelled, Li Guangxian also defected to the enemy, and even his henchman Wu Ruyi followed Li Xingzhi and wagged his tail and begged for mercy, he didn't understand why he fell into such a situation of rebellion and separation.
"King Chuang, we were surrounded by Butcher Hong back then, and there were only more than ten people left who fled to Shangluo Mountain, didn't we survive too? As long as we are still there, why worry about not having a chance to make a comeback? ”
"King Chuang, Brother Yuan is right, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we break out of the encirclement, are you still worried that there is no chance of recovery? If there are hungry people everywhere today, as long as we build one or two more cities, are we afraid that we won't be able to recruit people? ”
Gao Yigong also echoed Yuan Zongdi's words, when he went to the poor place of water and sat and watched the clouds rise, with Li Zicheng's prestige, as long as he went out alive and set up a pole casually, he could immediately pull up a team of hundreds of thousands of people.
“…… One gong, you go to protect Mrs. Niu and the Niu Junshi, let's go to the south gate to break through"
Li Zicheng is not a pedantic person, he knows that Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yigong are right, although the camp is chaotic now, but the official army has not broken the camp, as long as he is willing to abandon the brigade, there is still a chance to get out.
"South Gate, Chuang Wang Luyang Pass has been controlled by the official army, let's break through to the south, it is tantamount to the road to death, it is better to take the north gate and retreat to Shaanzhou along the line of the Yellow River."
In an emergency, Gao Yigong didn't have time to gather the rear battalion soldiers, but only gathered himself and Li Zicheng and others' personal soldiers, these people were basically the backbone of the peasant army, and they were desperate for Li Zicheng and would never defect to the battle.
Yuan Zongdi still has doubts, Gu Junen's dog thing has already been made clear, and he knows the retreat plan of the Shun army, if Li Zicheng still takes the south gate to withdraw the army, wouldn't he be in the net.
"The soldiers are not tired of deceit, Gu Junen has defected to the enemy, and Li Xingzhi is likely to know our retreat opportunity, but if you are Li Xingzhi, will you still set up an ambush at the south gate when you know that Gu Junen has been exposed? That's why we have to do the opposite, and retreat through the south gate, so that we can get out of danger safely. ”
Niu Jinxing helped Li Zicheng onto the war horse and looked at the raging fire in the northeast with a smile.
"What Master Niu said is reasonable, let's go."
Li Zicheng, who had not been on the battlefield for a long time, once again pulled out the matching knife on his waist, and after his wife Gao Guiying and others were ready, he shouted loudly and took the lead in running towards the south gate of the camp.
"It's not good, Li Zicheng wants to run, but you must not let him go."
After a short period of shock, Ma Shouyao, Ma Chongxi, Liu Rukui and others didn't care about reining in the rout of their headquarters, and chased them along the direction of Li Zicheng's escape with their own soldiers.
In the big camp, the party Shousu and Gu Kecheng, who were responsible for rectifying the soldiers and horses, were also stunned, they didn't expect the situation to become like this, the sudden attack of the official army actually caused the Shun army to have a camp roar, and the two of them finally gathered their own personal soldiers together, but looking around, where is there still Li Zicheng's shadow, even Liu Rukui and others who are clamoring to defect to the official army have disappeared, and the entire battalion, in addition to the chaotic army, is still a chaotic army.
Seeing that there were red-eyed Shunjun generals everywhere, the two of them didn't dare to step forward to suppress them, so they simply took their own soldiers to the northeast corner of the camp, thinking that they would lose their sincerity to the officers and soldiers with Gu Junen.
"The rogue is defeated, the rogue is defeated, ...... rogue is defeated!"
After the artillery roared, Wang Zhong's second town and new second town pounced on the Shunjun camp that had already burned half the sky while it was hot according to Li Xingzhi's order.
One after another undefended trenches were crossed by the surging Jingbei army, one after another sharp stakes and thistles were uprooted by the sword and shield soldiers in the ranks, and the "crackling" wooden fences that were burned by the fire were also fiercely piled down by the Jingbei army, and the east gate of the Shun army's camp had already been opened.
After Gu Junen's backbone started the fire in the camp, the first thing he did was to open the gate of the Shunjun camp, so that the official army brigade could enter the camp.
"Surrender or kill...... Surrender or kill! ”
After entering the camp, the Jingbei Army shouted frantically under the command of their respective deputy generals, team officers, and deputy team officers.
Soon, the whole camp was chanting. At this time, there were still seventy or eighty thousand Shun troops running around in the camp, and they didn't know what was going on with each other.
In the dark night, they couldn't see the battle situation clearly, and they couldn't distinguish between the enemy and us, they only heard the shouts of the Jingbei army surrendering in all directions, and there was a surging flow of people around them, so the already chaotic Shun army immediately began to kneel and surrender.
Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun gathered together, and there were hundreds of Shun officers and soldiers who could command around them, and they did not choose to surrender, but chose to resist more fiercely.
Both of them were Li Zicheng's henchmen, and at this juncture, they didn't care about their own lives at all, and they fought hard to kill like ordinary soldiers. Even if there are more people falling than standing, they are still rushing frantically, but most of the people they are slashing and killing are chaotic and routing.
After seeing the roar in the camp of the Shun army, Wang Zhong issued a military order with a very good eye that he was only allowed to surrender and not to come forward to cut and kill, because those Shun troops who had killed red-eyed people had already lost their minds.
The sky has gradually brightened, and the fire in the Shunjun camp in Zhuxian Town is still burning, and the firelight reflects the red sky.
In some places, people can no longer enter, and in the sound of "thunderbolts", all kinds of broken trees and instruments fall incessantly.
The fire caused the temperature of this land within a radius of more than ten miles to rise sharply, making the Jingbei army that had to attack the camp sweat.
In the fire, it was not only the military tents and watchtowers of the Shun army that were burning, but also countless corpses that died in the hands of their own people because of the roar of the camp.
No one knows how many corpses are burning in the fire, but the smell of blood and meat that permeates the air is disgusting.
Under the supervision of the Jingbei Army's long knife, groups of surrendered Shun troops struggled to clean up the bloodstained battlefield, and one corpse after another was dragged from the ground to the still burning fire.
There was resistance in the camp, that is, Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun who fought in the middle of the night, there were not many of the ten pawns around them, their faces were covered with black ash, their clothes and armor had long been torn, and they were covered with blood, but their eyes were still firm, even if their arms no longer had the strength to wave the long knife in their hands.
"Surrender! You don't have a chance anymore. ”
Wang Zhong, who searched the whole camp and did not find Li Zicheng, looked coldly at Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun, who were still trapped and fighting.
