Chapter 45: Closing and Pursuit

Morale seems to be intangible, but it is actually qualitative.

Just when the hearts of the Chinese army were in disarray. Li Dingguo gave the order to attack. Li Dingguo's headquarters after resting for about an hour rushed to the front again, and at this moment the large and small artillery pieces were ready, first smashing a round, and then the brigade rushed forward.

Sun Kewang personally supervised the battle, and for a while they couldn't hold on, and suddenly a team of men and horses called the door from the west side from the darkness, saying that it was reinforcements.

Li Dingguo put a lot of pressure on Sun Kewang, and under such pressure, Sun Kewang's subordinates were a little confused, and when they heard that the reinforcements were coming, they immediately let them in. And as soon as this team of men and horses entered the Chinese army, they turned out their blades. shouted loudly: "On the orders of His Royal Highness II, those who descend will not be killed." ”

This part is the old ministry that Li Dingguo has just acquired.

This was the final blow that overwhelmed Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang no longer has the confidence to hold on.

Sun Kewang turned around and left with his own soldiers. At the moment, he can't bring too many people with him. Just turned around and left with hundreds of people around him, there are still some people in Qujing, and now he can only want to retreat to Qujing and regain his strength.

And Sun Kewang's departure made the various units of the Ming army, which could not hold on, finally collapse.

Li Dingguo immediately felt the resistance, and it was almost non-existent. While he was overjoyed, he was inevitably worried.

It's very simple, Li Dingguo's headquarters has too few people, even if Sun Kewang is defeated in World War I, these Ming army routs are enough for Li Dingguo to be embarrassed. Fortunately, Li Dingguo's prestige in the Great Western Army is not small. But even so, I couldn't spare my hands for a while.

But Sun Kewang couldn't help but pursue.

If Sun Kewang can be caught, the war will move to the next stage, and if he can't catch it, as long as Sun Kewang flees alone, today's battle is not over, and Li Dingguo's capital is too thin, and he is not sure that Sun Kewang will be defeated for the second time.

Therefore, Li Dingguo immediately said: "Zhang Guangcui." ”

"The end will be." A general came out of the column and said.

This general's name is Zhang Guangcui, who was born in the camp, and surrendered with Gao Yigong, and was later favored by Zhang Xuan to be included in the pro-army, and now it is assigned to Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo gets along with him, and he is also very appreciative, and he is regarded as a pro-army general.

"You lead the horse team to pursue, no matter how far you reach the ends of the earth, you must take down Sun Kewang." Li Dingguo said: "Also, it's better to capture it alive." ”

The reason why Li Dingguo wants to capture Sun Kewang alive is very simple, that is, to use Sun Kewang's prestige to appease the surrendering army, although Sun Kewang is not like this, but one thing can be determined, he is the head of Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, Sun Kewang's default heir.

Li Dingguo has prestige in the Great Western Army, and Sun Kewang is also a diehard in the Great Western Army.

Therefore, the living Sun Kewang is more useful than the dead Sun Kewang.

However, in the midst of the war, where the soldiers are in danger and urgent, where can they ensure completeness, Li Dingguo does not dare to make more restrictions, so he can only say as much as possible.

"Yes." Zhang Guangcui said.

Zhang Guangcui took the men and horses and immediately galloped away.

The horse team has always been the elite of the summer army, even if they fought all night, but now they are still full of energy.

After Li Dingguo sent Zhang Guangcui away, he immediately sent an order to the various departments that were still holding out in the camp, saying, "Let them come to see me? ”

At this time, Li Dingguo had occupied the main passage of the camp, and each camp was divided, although in terms of numbers, the two were comparable to each other, but in fact, they were leaderless. When people are panicking. If it were someone else, maybe they would have other choices, but Li Dingguo, most people thought about it. One by one, they came out of the camp to see Li Dingguo.

After Li Dingguo saw it, only one camp general was Sun Kewang's diehard loyalist, and even now, he refused to surrender.

Li Dingguo immediately said that he would give the order to go down, and immediately shouted and killed. Under this background, Li Dingguo looked at the generals below and said: "I am Li Dingguo, I think you all know me, and I won't say anything else." Sun Kewang seized a corner of Yunnan, and took the corner to resist the Celestial Empire, and only fled after defeat. You are all my ancestors, and I cannot bear to punish you severely, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I will not blame the past, and I will give you other rewards in the court, and I will enjoy wealth and prosperity from now on. ”

After listening to Li Dingguo's words, these people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and said, "I am willing to follow His Royal Highness around." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Okay, you also know what I Li Dingguo is like, you don't live up to me, and I will never let you down." ”

Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, at this time, Li Dingguo used his chips to the limit. It seems to have an advantage, but in fact, the mainland is very empty.

Li Dingguo spent a whole day collecting and surrendering troops.

Because during the battle, many people escaped, and many people died in battle, Li Dingguo surrendered various departments, there were as many as 40,000 or 50,000, and those who had been captured last night were 120,000, and the number of people who surrendered today was about 30,000.

For a whole day, Li Dingguo was quite busy.

His old troops were drawn from the surrendered army, and some of them formed an army, which numbered about 10,000 men.

Then with the support of the old department, Li Dingguo could also understand the inside story of the army, and he held the army in his hands little by little.

At this time, Zhang Guangcui was biting Sun Kewang to death.

Although Sun Kewang is a lost dog, as the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, there is never a shortage of guards who dare to die.

Chasing all the way, Zhang Guangcui and Sun Kewang fought three times, but they were all shelled by Sun Kewang's golden cicada.

Sun Kewang took dozens of horses, sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Sun Ke looked to the west and said to the left and right: "In a few dozen miles, it will be the Pingyi Station." There were some centaurs there, and when they joined them, they were able to drop their tails off their backs. ”

The guards beside Sun Kewang listened to it and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Three battles and three defeats, each time they have to leave some people behind, if it weren't for Sun Kewang's usual good guards around him, at this time, they were all a little shaken.

Pingyi, as the name suggests, is a guardhouse. However, the guard post on the Yungui Post Road cannot be simply understood as a military station.

When Zhu Yuanzhang opened up Yunnan, he moved an unknown number of soldiers into Yunnan, and the distribution was from eastern Yunnan to western Yunnan. The distribution of these soldiers is in the form of a guard.

Before the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many Han people in Yunnan, so in Yunnan and Guizhou, all those known as guards were Han gathering places.

Moreover, with the productivity of the Han people far exceeding the Tusi, the number of Han people is more than the rated number under the multiplication of the Han people.

Therefore, Pingyi is not a hundred households, it can be regarded as a small town.

As an important place on the post road, Sun Kewang will naturally garrison troops, but there are not many, only a few hundred people, guarding the grain road.

Seeing that the Pingyi Institute was getting closer and closer, the city wall of the Pingyi Institute had already come into Sun Kewang's eyes, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves behind was loud, and Li Guangcui rushed over first.

Sun Kewang's eyes shrank slightly, and he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he might not be able to enter the leveling place.

The two sides fought back and forth about a mile west of Pingping. Sun Kewang also sent people to Pingyi to ask for help.

But the army did not dare to go out of the city.

The city of Pingyi is very small, and the hundreds of troops in it are also foot soldiers, and they are not elite men and horses who are arranged in logistics.

Let them go out of the city and attack them on foot, even if it is to expel them, it is not something they can do.

Even Sun Kewang's envoy claimed to be the envoy of the King of Qin, and the army of the Pingsu Institute was hesitant, they didn't know what was going on?

However, the slightest hesitation from them ruined Sun Kewang.

Zhang Guangcui knew that after Sun Kewang escaped to Pingyi, it would be almost impossible to capture him back.

So Zhang Guangcui worked hard.

After a fight, Sun Kewang's mount was shot by more than a dozen arrows, almost becoming a hornet's nest. Sun Kewang suddenly fell to the ground. I fell and injured my leg, and I couldn't stand up for a while.

Zhang Guangcui turned over and dismounted, came to Sun Kewang's side, and said, "Duke Dian Guo, don't come unharmed." ”

Sun Kewang sighed, didn't say anything, just sneered, and closed his eyes.

A look at your disposal.

Zhang Guangcui didn't dare what Sun Kewang's attitude was. took Sun Kewang back.
