Chapter 177 The Battle of the Trapped Beast

The vanguard of the officers and soldiers who had just left the camp pushed a lot of caravans as their cover. However, as soon as Xing Tianjun's cannon sounded, the caravans were beaten in all around and broken into pieces. Even many officers and soldiers, before they saw the people of Xing Tianjun, they were killed on the spot.

The landing point of Xing Tianjun's artillery shells can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. Although the land here is soft and it is not conducive to the huge role of shells, there are so many people! There are dozens of heavy guns and dozens of light guns, which add up to nearly a hundred. In addition, the Xing Tianjun fires fires in a aligned manner. Every time the shell falls, it falls into the crowd of the officers and soldiers, which caused great psychological pressure, which makes the officers and soldiers unbearable.

So in this breakout, which they had high expectations for, the soldiers who acted as vanguards just rushed to the front of the Xingtian army's position for dozens of steps, and then completely collapsed. The frightened officers and soldiers lost their carts, turned their heads and ran back like headless flies, and then were chased by their buttocks. The bullet was knocked to the ground, and the remaining officers and soldiers were even more unbearable. As soon as they saw the vanguard in front of them collapse, they collapsed faster and were defeated.

Wu Sangui closed his eyes in pain and had to admit that the breakout had failed, so he quickly asked for orders to withdraw the army. Sun Chuanting also lamented and only nod to agree to withdraw the troops. He quickly gathered the soldiers and horses who had been killed out of the camp and quickly gathered back into the camp. Once again, he closed the battalion and held his head and waited to be beaten.

After the officers and soldiers withdrew, hundreds of corpses of officers and soldiers were left on the battlefield, and many people were not dead. They lay on the battlefield and whined, which could be said to be unbearable.

After Xing Tianjun repelled the officers and soldiers, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They watched the officers and soldiers escape back into the battalion, and then immediately sent people out to start cleaning the battlefield. They dragged back some abandoned by the officers and soldiers. Then they dragged back the bodies of the officers and soldiers in batches and pulled them into the distance and buried them. Come on.

As for those seriously injured officers and soldiers, they must be hopeless, so Xiao Tianjian ordered to relieve their pain and send them on the road with a knife, while for the slightly injured, they were bandaged and treated well.

And the officers and soldiers could only watch Xing Tianjun cleaning the battlefield outside the camp. The blind army generals couldn't help but order to bombard these generals of Xing Tianjun who entered the battlefield and tried to clean up the battlefield, but immediately attracted the fierce revenge of Xing Tianjun's cannons, and in a short time, there were groups of shells roaring. Entering the position where they fired, they soon overturned the angry general's guns to the ground. They were so scared that the rest of the officers and soldiers did not dare to fire again, so they could only hide in the camp and stare.

It can be said that the morale of the officers and soldiers is even worse. The whole army battalion can be said to be like a dead place. No one speaks, standing or sitting so dullly, looking at each other.

It took a long time for someone to scold that they couldn't do this job. They were determined to die. They couldn't escape. One person scolded like this, and more people scolded. The morale that had already fallen to the bottom, and he couldn't find it. For this reason, Sun Chuanting had to ask Shang Fang's sword and killed one in a row. Criticizing the generals, this is how much to suppress the army's heart.

However, everyone no longer has any hope of breaking through. They are all lying in the camp and looking at the sky, with a dull look on their faces and waiting to die.

Besides, on Bai Guangen's side, although Bai Guangen had the intention to lead his troops to rescue Sun Chuanting, after arriving at Damingfu, he found that this would not work at all, not to mention that after his men and horses met Marco's people and horses, his morale was greatly affected. The soldiers and generals complained about this and felt that they were going to the root this time. Originally, he was looking for his own way to die. There must be an army of Xingtian thieves waiting for them to come to the door, so his morale was very low. Even the night before he arrived at Daming Mansion, there was a large number of deserters, which made Bai Guangen quite helpless.

However, thinking of Sun Chuanting asking him for help, Bai Guangen still bravely led his troops forward, but after arriving at the Daming Mansion, he was blocked by the Xingtian soldier horse.

This time, Luo Li and Li Xin did not play any conspiracy with Bai Guangen. As soon as the soldiers and horses arrived, they opened the fight. Bai Guangen personally led his troops to launch an attack on Luo Li's troops, but the result was very simple. He was beaten and retreated. Then Luo Li personally led the army against Bai Guangen. The soldiers and horses launched a counterattack. At the end of the war between the two armies, Bai Guangen's soldiers collapsed and fled. When he fled back to Shunde Mansion, there were only more than 4,000 soldiers left. Most of the soldiers would defect halfway and surrendered to the Xing Tianjun, which made Bai Guangen's rescue operation come to a miserable end. So far, Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui The expected reinforcements have also completely lost their potential.

Shortly after Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui were besieged, someone quickly sent the news back to the capital. After listening to it, Chongzhen cried on the spot. It can be said that all his hopes were shattered by Xiao Tianjian at this moment.

Originally, he braved the world's greatness to make peace with the slaves, but he wanted to transfer the Northern Army south to deal with the Xing Tianjun, in order to restrain the Xing Tian Army and save the Ming Dynasty that was about to collapse. But now there is the news of Wang Pu's defeat, followed by the news that Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui were besieged. This is the world. At that time, is it really hopeless?

Chen Xinjia, as an auxiliary minister of Chongzhen, has also been completely blinded by this time. He has been transferred to the customs. However, these Guanning army, Xuanda soldiers and Liaodong soldiers are still not as good as one. When it comes to Xing Tianjun, there is only one defeat, and it is a defeat again and again. Now Sun Chuan Ting and Wu Sangui were surrounded by Xingtian soldiers in Yanggu County. His life and death were unknown. He could only invite Chongzhen and immediately ordered Bai Guangen and Marco to rescue him.

After listening to this, Chongzhen could only agree. He wrote a decree and sent people out of Beijing overnight to send them to Shunde Mansion, asking Ma Ke and Bai Guangen to rescue Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui's troops. At this time, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui's old son, was also so anxious that he jumped up and down, and constantly sent people to Beijing to lobby the courtiers and asked them to find a way to send reinforcements to rescue. Wu Sangui, his precious son, but at this time, even if the courtiers in the court collect money, there is no army to adjust. No one can understand how many soldiers and horses the Xing Tianjun is now, and they can use troops in several directions at the same time. Moreover, according to the news, there seems to be a lot of troops in each place. It is estimated that if it is added together, at least Hundreds of thousands of horses, and the imperial court is full of soldiers, and now there are only hundreds of thousands of people in the country, and they are scattered on such a large land. Whose soldiers can be transferred to rescue Wu Sangui and Sun Chuanding?

However, the news from Marco and Bai Guangen's troops sent by Chongzhen with high expectations soon came that both of them suffered losses in the hands of Xing Tianjun. First, Marco was defeated in Daming Mansion and retreated to Shunde Mansion, and then Bai Guangen failed to rescue and retreated to Shunde Mansion.

After Bai Guangen returned to Shunde Mansion, he immediately impeached Ma Ke to avoid the war and die. Ma Ke also expected that after Bai Guang'en's defeat, he would definitely impeach him, so he sent someone to the court in advance, saying that Bai Guangen was alone and aggressive, and did not listen to the advice, resulting in a great defeat, and refused. Don't cooperate with him to send troops together.

So the lawsuit had to be fought. A group of courtiers who were full and had nothing to do began to argue about whose fault it was. In the end, Chen Xinjia could not determine who was true, so he sent someone to Shunde Mansion to find out the situation and went back to convict it separately, but first decided to be defeated in Shuozhou. Wang Pu's charge, on the charge of Wang Pu's unfavorable battle, removed Wang Pu from the official position of Datong General, demoted him to a general, and suddenly removed Wang Pu's level.

But at this time, Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, who are going to save, including Chongzhen, have no idea in the inner court and field, so they can only let Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui ask for more blessings.

The news that Bai Guangen was repulsed was ordered by Xiao Tianjian to send people to the outside of the army camp and shouted to the officers and soldiers in a loud voice. It can be said that the trapped officers and soldiers were well known. At the same time, he also told them that Marco was unwilling to help. Now they have become a lonely army and advise them not to do unnecessary counterattack. After the resistance, the court could no longer show the officers and soldiers to come to rescue them. I advised Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui and other officials and generals to give up their illusions as soon as possible. They should not sell their lives and die for the imperial court. It's better to go out of the camp and surrender quickly, so as to avoid killing the officers and soldiers.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian also asked his men to shout to the officer camp, telling them that as long as they surrender, they can ensure their safety. Xing Tianjun will never kill prisoners, no matter what they have done before, as long as they change their minds and become good people in the future, they will not blame the past, which is also a formal public. The prisoner-of-war policy of the Xingtian Army has been implemented.

In addition to doing these things, Xiao Tianjian also sent out the injured officers and soldiers who were sheltered by the general to go outside the battalion and tell the officers and soldiers in the battalion that after they were injured, the Xing Tianjun not only did not kill them, but also treated them and fed them to enhance the effect of persuasion. After all, we are all Han Chinese. We can't fight with our lives like this. In the future, we can leave our lives and deal with Jiannu together.

In this way, when they learned that the reinforcements had no hope, the officers and soldiers in the battalion were even more panicked, and their hearts fluctuated. They even shouted at some bold members of the Xingtian Army who ran to them with an arrow. They were too lazy to shoot them and shoot them. A group of officers and soldiers stared at the camp with dull eyes. Where the fate is, looking outside, some people's hearts have come to life.

Many officers and soldiers actually have families and wards. Some of them come out to be soldiers because they are military households. They can't do anything but be soldiers. Their status is extremely low. Some people have committed crimes and are charged into the army. Some people sneak into the army to make a living, have food and salary, and there is also hope to win the war. At that time, this job can still be done for them, but once they are desperate, the soldiers will not have much courage to die.

Sun Chuanting was also sad in the camp, but sometimes he had to force a relaxed expression to appease his soldiers. At this time, he also knew that the possibility of them breaking through was not great, and under the fluctuation of the military heart, he They can't hold on for a long time. Even if the grain they carry this time can last for a period of time, the military spirit has dispersed, and it is basically unlikely that the battle will continue.

However, he has never thought about surrendering. In his opinion, he is a capable minister, and he should also be a famous minister and a loyal minister. It is unimaginable to surrender to the criminal thief. Since he can't eliminate such a disaster for the court, he also needs to be a minister who dies.

Therefore, he had a secret consultation with Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui also said that he would never surrender to Xing Tianjun. After all, the property of the Wu family is in Guanning and the capital. Surrender is not an option for him. Moreover, once he surrenders, his family will definitely suffer Zhulian, and I'm afraid he will be influenced by the emperor in the future. Evil, so he expressed his willingness to protect Sun Chuanding to break out of the siege.

After talking for a long time, the two finally made up their mind to break through the siege again. After cleaning up, Sun Chuanting secretly ordered his standard camp to be ready to break through. In addition, Wu Sangui also gathered the Liaodong army under his command, and they were still the main force of this breakthrough.

(I haven't seen a reward for several days! Ha ha! I'm very excited today! I would like to thank the two brothers for their reward at 11 a.m.!)
