Defeated all the way, the army that finally rested saw the million-strong army of thieves coming so quickly.

For a while, the entire camp was in chaos, and no one obeyed Sun Chuanting's orders at all.

Seeing this scene, Sun Chuanting was also helpless, these soldiers were newly recruited, and the thieves were so powerful that they didn't dare to resist, which was understandable.

Suddenly, when Sun Chuanting saw the grain piled up in the camp out of the corner of his eye, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

Looking at the panicked army, Sun Chuanting glanced at his subordinate Gao Jie, quietly pointed to the grain, and shouted:

"This defeat was deliberately done by the general, the purpose was to make the thieves underestimate the enemy, and now there is an ambush of the imperial army in Tongguan."

"We only need to hold on to the camp, and we will be able to destroy the thieves in one battle!"

Seeing this, Adjutant General Gao Jie shouted:

"General Sun, as long as we repel the thieves, can you give us this grain?"

For a while, the soldiers in the camp were quiet, staring at Sun Chuanting with burning eyes, as well as the grain piled up together.

Facing everyone's eyes, Sun Chuanting shouted:

"Ben will swear that if this battle is won, ten stone of grain per person!"

"If there were any war dead, Ben would have given ten stones of grain to his family!"

As soon as these words came out, the breathing of the soldiers suddenly became rapid!

One stone of grain, a person can eat for more than a month if he saves a little food, and ten stones of grain, that is ten months!

Moreover, there is still a large army of the imperial court in Tongguan, they just need to hold the camp!

Immediately, Sun Chuanting quickly commanded the soldiers to defend the camp.

……

At the same time, Yuan Zongdi led tens of thousands of cavalry to chase thousands of routs, and after seeing the Tongguan city wall, he ordered the army to slow down a little, and laughed:

"General Liu, do you think Sun Chuanting's little boy will be tricked?"

On the side, Liu Zongmin sneered and said:

"General Yuan, if Sun Chuanting dares to want these routs, then his subordinates will definitely mutiny."

"Actually, I hope that Sun Chuanting can stay for a few more days, so that we can play openly!"

When Yuan Zongdi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice:

"General Liu, don't say this in front of King Chuang."

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has stipulated since the day he started his army that whoever attacks the city will not be killed.

Defend the city for one day, kill three out of ten.

Defend the city for two days, kill seven out of ten.

Defend the city for three days and slaughter the city!

Not only that, Li Zicheng also set three military orders.

The former looks back, and the latter kills it.

There is a horse in the ranks of the person who beheads it, and the horse that enters the field seedlings is beheaded.

Death to the thief of a chicken!

……

Tongguan city wall.

Xu Da saw that thousands of routs were running towards Tongguan, but the tens of thousands of cavalry were just chasing but not killing, ignoring the big battalion, and said thoughtfully:

"Master Li, do you say that among these routs, are there any thieves?"

Li Banghua's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly:

"Wei Guogong, Daming can't afford to drag it out."

There have been too many natural and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, including Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

If you are not careful, the day of the death of the country is just around the corner.

……

Not long after, when the defeated soldiers were only a few dozen steps away from the Tongguan city wall, and even Xu Da could clearly see the pleading look on the faces of those defeated soldiers, and said:

"Open the gates!"

The words fell, and the gate of Tongguan slowly opened.

Thousands of defeated soldiers suddenly perked up and quickened their pace.

Yuan Zongdi, on the other hand, was overjoyed, ordered the army to follow, and shouted:

"Sun Chuanting, do you still remember the enmity of Nanyuan?"

Seeing this, Liu Zongmin cursed in a low voice:

"Sun Chuanting, it's too wasteful!"

Inside the camp.

Sun Chuanting saw that the thousands of routs poured into Tongguan one after another, and said unwillingly:

"Damn!"

"Who is the man who led the troops? Master Li doesn't persuade him! ”

"If Tongguan is lost, the Ming Dynasty will ......"

……

Just after the rout soldiers entered Tongguan one after another, a shout sounded:

"Sergeant Ming, lie down!"

I saw that a few hundred meters away, dozens of tiger squatting cannons, with their black muzzles aimed at those routed soldiers, as well as the cavalry behind them.

Seeing this scene, where did the defeated soldiers dare to hesitate, they all hugged their heads and lay down, lest they die under the artillery.

And Yuan Zongdi rode on a tall horse, and after seeing those tiger squatting cannons, his pupils shrank, and he shouted:

"There are artillery!"

"The Great Army U-turns"

Immediately, Yuan Zongdi suddenly lay on the horse's back, pulled the reins tightly, and forcibly reversed direction.

The cavalry who rushed to the front hesitated slightly, and was directly knocked to the ground by the cavalry that followed closely behind.

For a time, the gate of Tongguan City was full of people on their backs.

At this moment, Xu Da shouted:

"Shoot"

In the next second, countless arrows fell from the sky, and in just one volley, tens of thousands of cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

In the crowded crowd, Yuan Zong was the first to pull out the arrow on his shoulder, and shouted hoarsely:

"Sun Chuanting, King Chuang's million-strong army will arrive soon, if you don't surrender again, King Chuang will directly slaughter the city!"

"When the time comes, not only will you die, but there will be no chickens and dogs left in the entire Tongguan!"

However, Wei Guogong Xu Da's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, and continued to issue military orders:

"Hongyi Cannon"

"Put"

In the next second, more than a dozen deafening cannons rang out.

"Boom Boom"

I saw that more than 1,000 meters away from Tongguan, and suddenly gunsmoke erupted.

After five volleys of arrows, Xu Da ordered his subordinates to stop shooting arrows and shouted:

"Those who descend do not kill"

Yuan Zongdi pushed away the guards who were full of arrows, and looked at the corpses around him with a pale face, these were all his own soldiers.

Raising his head, he glared angrily at the general in sharp armor on the city wall, and scolded:

"You ......"

Suddenly, Liu Zongmin, who had escaped by luck, covered Yuan Zongdi's mouth and shouted:

"We surrender! Surrender! ”

After that, Liu Zongmin said in a low voice:

"General Yuan, bear with me for the time being."

"You have also seen that the artillery in Tongguan is very powerful, we might as well pretend to surrender, and then, blend into Tongguan."

"As soon as King Chuang's million-strong army arrives, we will join forces inside and out."

Yuan Zong, who was originally struggling frantically, immediately felt that it made sense when he heard it, and after calming down, he nodded heavily.

on the city walls.

Xu Da waved his hand and ordered hundreds of guards to go out of the city and bring back all the war horses.

Wounded or dead war horses were stewed directly and fed to the army, and those intact war horses were properly placed.

And those who surrendered to the army went to clean up the battlefield and were not allowed to enter Tongguan.

For a while, the entire Tongguan city wall suddenly became busy.

……

The other side.

Sun Chuanting saw that the mysterious reinforcement general easily defeated tens of thousands of cavalry, and muttered:

"Who is the leader of the troops?"

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

Suddenly, Sun Chuanting remembered something, secretly said that something was wrong, and hurriedly summoned his subordinate Chen Yongfu and instructed:

"Go to Tongguan quickly and warn the general not to let those soldiers get together."

"If not, let the general send all those surrendered troops to the camp, and the infamy of killing prisoners will be borne by the general alone!"

In the end, Sun Chuanting's tone was extremely cold.

Chen Yongfu didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly took the order to leave.
