Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 598

"My lord, it's not that we don't need our lives. We really can't hold it. We really can't hold it. Bandit Zhao's weapons are too powerful. We are no match at all. Our defense equipment is simply useless. Any use. Thieves Zhao defeated us several miles away, and we have no way to fight back."

Sun Hai's face was full of sorrow, he knelt on the ground, and kept crying.

Sun Chuanting frowned tightly, and his eyes were full of panic.

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, several cannons rang out again.

Sun Chuanting suddenly stood up from his chair and looked to the north.

"Tie Zhao is attacking again!" Sun Chuanting's face was full of worry.

Sun Hai knelt there, looking to the north, his face was full of panic.

At the beginning, Zhao Wen's firepower really scared him, Zhao Wen's siege method subverted the imagination of soldiers in this era.

It never occurred to them that the siege could still be fought like this.

"Damn it, damn it. The sound of the cannon is much louder than before. I'm afraid Bandit Zhao is getting closer.

But why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?Could it be that Li Tianhe and Zhang Taichu were really caught up by the soldiers from before?If this is the case, then the Yellow River defense line is really over! "Sun Chuanting's face was full of worry.

Wu Zhen stood beside Sun Chuanting, and he leaned towards Sun Chuanting's side with a solemn face, "My lord, I'm afraid the reinforcements have already been defeated by the cavalry from before!"

Although Wu Tong is unwilling to believe this reality, but the fact is like this, and he can't help it if he doesn't believe it.

"My lord, if we haven't been defeated. Then we should be able to hear from them now, but it's been several days, and we haven't even received any news.

Ye Bushou, who was sent out before, did not come back. In my opinion, I am afraid that the reinforcements led by Zhang Taichu and Li Tianhe have already been defeated by the previous cavalry. "

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he instantly aged ten years.

The [-] soldiers and horses in Henan were recruited by Sun Chuanting with great difficulty in the past few years. For these soldiers and horses, Sun Chuanting did not know how many people he offended.

On these [-] soldiers, Sun Chuanting spent more thought than his own son.

Now, the [-] soldiers and horses are suddenly gone, how can this not make Sun Chuanting feel bad?

Sun Chuanting sat down, holding his chest with his left hand, holding the table with his right hand, panting continuously.

The hand covering his heart trembled unceasingly, falling from his chest several times.

"My lord, are you okay!" Wu Tong hurriedly moved to Sun Chuanting's side.

Sun Chuanting let out a long breath, his voice trembling slightly, "You, you, you are right, I am afraid that my 2 army has already been defeated by that cavalry. But why is there no news of the defeat? Can't even see a rout? Could it be that the entire army of [-] people was wiped out by the cavalry?

This is 2 people, and these are the soldiers and horses I managed to pull together. "

Sun Chuanting looked up to the sky and sighed, he really didn't want to believe this fact.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting looked to the north and said in a low voice: "Now, the military fort on the Yellow River defense line cannot stop Zhao's attack. I really can't think of it. How should I deal with Zhao's thief next?"

Is it possible to disperse all the soldiers and horses on the Yellow River defense line as stated in the imperial decree?Fight guerrilla warfare? "

"My lord, it is absolutely impossible. If the soldiers and horses on the Yellow River defense line are dispersed at this time, under the threat of Zhao's troops, I am afraid that many soldiers and horses will surrender directly." Wu Zhen hastily persuaded.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't fight, and we can't defend." Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Zhen, his face full of worry.

By now, Sun Chuanting was at the end of his rope and couldn't think of any way to resist Zhao Wen.

Wu Xuan didn't answer directly, instead he half-closed his eyes and began to think.

After a while, Wu Tong looked at Sun Chuanting, his eyes were full of fierce light.

"My lord, why don't we just dig through the Yellow River and divert the water from the Yellow River to stop the Zhao thief!" Wu Yan looked at Sun Chuanting, his voice suddenly became cold.

Sun Hai, who was kneeling on the ground, buried his head very low, trembling all the time, pretending that he didn't hear it.

"Is it really necessary to dig through the Yellow River?" Sun Chuanting's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Wu Zhen to say such a method at this time.

Wu Yan had proposed this method before.

It was just rejected by Sun Chuanting. After all, this method is a way to hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred.

If not, the name Sun Chuanting will remain infamous forever.

"No, no, it's spring now, and there is more rain. Once the Yellow River is dug through and the water of the Yellow River pours down, the land of Henan will definitely become a part of the country. At that time, Luoyang, Qinyang, Kaifeng and other counties will be swallowed by the water of the Yellow River.

At that time, even if Henan is defended, you and I will have to go to Caishikou in the capital.The danger of this method is too great, so big that I can't bear it at all. "

Sun Chuanting shook his head, disagreeing with Wu Sheng's method.

Wu Tong seemed not to give up, and was still bewitching Sun Chuanting, "But my lord, if we don't use this method, then we will have no way to stop Zhao thief. At that time, Henan will make mistakes, and we will not be able to get rid of it. The next one is originally As a body to be punished, if Henan falls at this time, I will not be able to live."

However, no matter what Wu Xin said, Sun Chuanting was still unwilling to agree with Wu Xin's method.

"Report!"

At this moment, a messenger rushed in, and Ban knelt in the hall.

Sun Chuanting turned around, looked at the messenger, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Returning to my lord, there are a large number of routs outside the city. I heard from the routs that the two lines of defense in front have been breached by Zhao thieves. The Zhao thieves are divided into three groups, attacking the Yellow River defense line from the east, middle and west. month, the Yellow River defense line will all fall!" The orderly shouted anxiously.

"What?" Sun Chuanting was shocked when he heard this, his face was full of panic.

"That's what those routs really said? Is it true that the Zhao bandits are divided into three groups? Are there any routs from my [-] reinforcements?" Sun Chuanting walked quickly to the messenger.

The messenger replied: "My lord, it is absolutely true that the rout is outside the city, and we are identifying the rout outside the city.

As for the [-] reinforcements of the adults, they did not see their defeat. "

Sun Chuanting's face turned pale in an instant, he turned his head, and shouted at Wu Sheng: "Go, go and see the rout outside the city!"

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he quickly walked outside without looking back.

Wu Xuan hurriedly followed Sun Chuanting with a few personal guards.

The messenger also stood up and ran to Sun Chuanting to lead the way for Sun Chuanting.

And Sun Hai also hurriedly stood up from the ground and ran outside.

When Sun Chuanting came to the city gate building, he saw a large number of people gathered outside the moat. At a rough glance, there were no fewer than 1000 people.

Moreover, there are still rout soldiers rushing here in the distance.

Sun Chuanting supported the pillars on the building at the gate of the city, panting continuously.

"How come there are so many routs? How come there are so many routs? Are the military forts I set up useless at all?" Sun Chuanting really couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

The rout soldiers outside the city were crowded together, their faces were full of panic, some of the rout soldiers were still wearing their clothes, and their clothes became pitch black.

"Quickly release all the people and horses, identify the identities of these people, and once the identities are identified, let them in!
Also, be sure to identify carefully for me, and report to me immediately if you find the rout of my [-] reinforcements! "Sun Chuanting pointed at the defeated soldiers outside the city, and looked at Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen nodded, and hurriedly ran under the city wall.

After a while, Wu Xin rushed out of the city gate with a thousand soldiers from the Zhengbing Battalion, and began to identify the broken soldiers outside the city.

After Wu Zhen arrived, because a large number of soldiers joined in, the speed of identification was also increased a lot.

When the sun began to set on the western mountain, most of the rout soldiers gathered outside the city entered the city.

Sun Chuanting walked down the city wall and walked in the streets and alleys of the military fort.

The military fort is set up for war, so the area of ​​the military fort is not large, and the houses inside are basically barracks for soldiers.

Because of the limited space, the rout soldiers who poured in could only temporarily stay in the streets and alleys.

These rout soldiers were standing, lying or sitting on the ground, their faces full of expressions of panic, fear and the afterlife.

The soldiers and horses in the military fort carried large barrels and walked through the streets and alleys, providing meals and clean water for these defeated soldiers.

The meals were only porridge and pickles. Although Sun Chuanting had hoarded a lot of food in Henan in the past few years, he had to save some of the food.

These rout soldiers didn't care about their dirty hands and faces, holding black pickles in one hand and a large broken porcelain bowl in the other, pouring the gruel into their mouths non-stop.

There were broken soldiers everywhere in the entire military fort, and the atmosphere in the military fort was extremely suppressed.

"I have seen Master Supervisor!"

"I have seen Master Supervisor!"

Wherever Sun Chuanting passed by, the defeated soldiers stood up hastily and saluted Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting nodded to these people in return, and asked them to sit down.

"How do you fight this battle? How do you fight this battle? The soldiers who can run back are all uninjured or not seriously injured.

As for not running back, I'm afraid he was killed in battle, or captured by Thief Zhao! "Sun Chuanting looked at these defeated soldiers in the streets and alleys with a look of despair.

"My lord, there are no routs of those [-] reinforcements!" Wu Zhen said helplessly as he walked behind Sun Chuanting.

At this moment, his hair was disheveled, there was still some dirt on his face, and his clothes were covered with mud.

Apparently, when identifying the rout soldiers before, Wu Xuan did not waste much effort.

"My lord, we can't fight any more. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid we'll lose all the troops we've managed to pull together!" Standing behind Sun Chuanting, Wu Zhen said solemnly.

Sun Chuanting replied: "Why don't I know what you said? But, if we retreat in Henan today, we can retreat in Huguang tomorrow, and we can retreat in Beizhili.

Daming is so big, how many times can we retreat?If we retreat further, we really have nowhere to go! "

"But what we're doing now is a complete waste of time and soldiers. This is a meaningless war." Hearing this, Wu Yan became anxious immediately.

Among these officials of Ming Dynasty, no one knew Zhao Wen's strength better than Wu Xin.

"It's meaningless? Don't I know it's meaningless? That's enough, don't say anything!" Sun Chuanting shook his head, and then walked towards the guard yamen helplessly.

After returning to the garrison office, Sun Chuanting went directly to the study.

He sat in the middle of the study, spread a piece of rice paper on the desk, and started writing with a brush.

Sun Chuanting wrote military newspapers to Chongzhen and documents asking for help from Chongzhen.

When he finished writing these things, he put them into a bamboo tube, and then sealed the mouth with sealing paint.

When the sealing paint on the seal was dry, Sun Chuanting walked out of the study with the bamboo tube, handed it to Wu Zhen, and asked him to arrange for someone to send it to the capital.

After Wu Zhen left with the bamboo tube, the sky was already dark.

Sun Chuanting and his personal guards began to patrol the military fort again.

Because of the entry of broken soldiers, the military fort became crowded.

Some rout soldiers had no place to live, so they could only live on the street outside and set up some simple tents.Fortunately, it was not raining at this time, otherwise there was really no way to deal with it.

Standing on the city wall, Sun Chuanting looked to the north and murmured worriedly: "Retreat, why don't I want to retreat. But how should I retreat? Where can I retreat?

In front is the main army of Zhao thief, and that strange cavalry also broke into the Yellow River defense line.No one knows where they are now. If they retreat and meet that group of cavalry, then they will really be caught in a dilemma. "

Sun Chuanting has never been so desperate. Even when he was in Daizhou City and witnessed the collapse of Daizhou City, he was not as desperate as he is now.

The guards following Sun Chuanting heard Sun Chuanting's voice, and their faces were also full of worries.

……

At this time, Chongzhen was sitting in the imperial study room. Although it was already late at night, Chongzhen showed no sign of resting.

He kept correcting the memorial on the desk, and the butter candle next to the desk was quietly burning, making crackling noises from time to time.

Chongzhen had just finished revising a memorial, and was about to drink tea to refresh himself, but his right eyelid throbbed violently for no reason.

"What's going on? For no reason, why did the right eyelid jump up suddenly?" Chongzhen rubbed his right eye while talking.However, no matter how much he rubbed it, the right eyelid still kept twitching, without any sign of stopping.

At this moment, Chongzhen suddenly panicked for no reason, and even his hands trembled.

"What's going on?" Chongzhen's face was full of doubts.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's because my lord doesn't have enough rest and is tired. Why don't I let the imperial doctor come to recuperate my lord so that I can go to bed early? My lord, the body of a dragon is important." Standing beside Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian bowed his body Looking at Chongzhen, he said in a gentle tone.

Chongzhen took several breaths in a row, trying to calm himself down.

"Forget about the imperial doctor, I understand my body myself!" Chongzhen said with a long breath.
