Chapter 24 Confront the burglar, win a small battle!
After being defeated all the way, the army that had finally rested, saw the million-dollar army coming so quickly after seeing the intruders.

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

Seeing this scene, Sun Chuanting felt helpless, these soldiers were newly recruited, and the intruders were powerful, so it was understandable for them not to dare to resist.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Sun Chuanting saw the grain piled up in the camp, and a bold idea popped into his mind.

Looking at the panic-stricken army, Sun Chuanting winked at Gao Jie, his subordinate, pointed to the food quietly, and shouted:

"This defeat was done on purpose by the general. The purpose was to make the intruders underestimate the enemy. Now the imperial army is ambushing in Tongguan."

"We just need to stick to the big camp, and we will surely destroy the intruders in one battle!"

Seeing this, Lieutenant General Gao Jie shouted:

"General Sun, as long as we repel the intruders, can the food be distributed to us?"

For a while, the soldiers in the camp became quiet, staring at Sun Chuanting and the piled up grain.

Facing everyone's eyes, Sun Chuanting shouted:

"This general swears that if we win this battle, each person will get ten shi of food!"

"If there is a war dead, I will give ten stones of food to his family!"

As soon as this remark came out, the breathing of the soldiers suddenly became rapid!
One stone of grain, one person can eat more than a month, but ten stones of grain, that is ten months!
Moreover, there are imperial troops in Tongguan, they just need to guard 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 defeated soldiers. After seeing the city wall of Tongguan, he ordered the army to slow down a little, and laughed loudly:

"General Liu, do you think Sun Chuanting will fall into the trap?"

On the side, Liu Zongmin sneered and said:

"General Yuan, if Sun Chuanting dares to reject these defeated soldiers, his subordinates will definitely mutiny."

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

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."

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng has stipulated since the day he started his army that if he attacked a city, those who surrendered would 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, massacre the city!
Not only that, but Li Zicheng also issued three military orders.

The former looks back, the latter kills.

Those who have horses in the ranks will be beheaded, and those who have horses that have entered the fields will be beheaded.

Whoever steals a chicken will die!

……

Tongguan City Wall.

Xu Da saw thousands of rout soldiers running towards Tongguan, while the tens of thousands of cavalrymen just chased them instead of killing them, ignoring the battalion, and said thoughtfully:

"Master Li, do you think there are any trespassers among these defeated soldiers?"

Li Banghua looked distressed, and said slowly:

"Wei Guogong, Daming can't afford it anymore."

There have been too many natural disasters and man-made disasters in Ming Dynasty in recent years. There are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong inside, and Man Qing outside.

If you are not careful, the day of national subjugation is just around the corner.

……

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

After the words fell, the gate of Tongguan City slowly opened.

Thousands of rout soldiers suddenly lifted their spirits and quickened their pace.

Yuan Zongdi was overjoyed, and ordered the army to follow closely behind, shouting:
"Sun Chuanting, do you still remember the Nanyuan Enmity?"

Seeing this, Liu Zongmin cursed in a low voice:
"Sun Chuanting, you are too useless!"

Inside the camp.

Sun Chuanting saw the thousands of rout soldiers pouring into Tongguan one after another, and said unwillingly:

"hateful!"

"Who is the leader of the army? Master Li didn't try to persuade him!"

"If Tongguan falls, Daming..."

……

Just after the defeated soldiers entered Tongguan one after another, a loud shout sounded:
"Soldiers of the Ming army, get down!"

A few hundred meters away, the black muzzles of dozens of tiger squatting guns were aimed at the rout soldiers and the cavalry behind them.

Seeing this scene, the rout soldiers didn't dare to hesitate, they hugged their heads and knelt down, fearing that they would die under the artillery.

And Yuan Zongdi was riding on a tall horse. After seeing those tigers squatting on the cannons, his pupils shrank and he shouted:
"There are artillery!"

"Army U-turn"

Immediately, Yuan Zongdi suddenly lay on the horse's back, tightened the reins, and forcibly turned the direction.

The cavalry rushing to the front hesitated for a moment, but was directly knocked to the ground by the cavalry following closely behind.

For a while, 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 salvo, tens of thousands of cavalrymen suffered heavy casualties.

Among the crowded crowd, Yuan Zong was the first to pull out the arrow on his shoulder, and shouted hoarsely:
"Sun Chuanting, King Chuang's army of millions will arrive soon. If you don't surrender, King Chuang will slaughter the city directly!"

"At that time, not only will you die, but the entire Tongguan will not be left behind!"

However, Wei Guogong Xu Da's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and continued to issue military orders:

"Red Cannon"

"put"

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

"boom boom"

I saw that more than 1000 meters away from Tongguan, suddenly there was smoke everywhere.

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

"Whoever descends does 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 soldiers.

He raised his head, glared at the general in sharp armor on the city wall, and cursed:

"you……"

Suddenly, Liu Zongmin, who was lucky enough to escape, covered Yuan Zongdi's mouth and shouted:

"We surrender! Surrender!"

After all, Liu Zongmin said in a low voice:

"General Yuan, bear with it for now."

"You have also seen that the artillery in Tongguan is very powerful. We might as well pretend to surrender and sneak into Tongguan."

"As soon as Chuang Wang's million-strong army arrives, we will cooperate from inside to outside."

Yuan Zong, who was struggling frantically at first, felt that it made sense at the first hearing. After calming down immediately, he nodded heavily.

city ​​wall.

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

Injured or dead horses were stewed directly to provide additional meals for the army, and those intact horses were properly placed.

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

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

……

the other side.

Sun Chuanting saw that the mysterious reinforcement general easily defeated tens of thousands of cavalry, and murmured:
"Who is the leader of the army?"

"Why have I never seen it before?"

Suddenly, Sun Chuanting remembered something, secretly thought that something was wrong, quickly called his subordinate Chen Yongfu, and ordered:
"Go to Tongguan quickly and tell the general not to let those surrendered soldiers gather together."

"If not, let that general send all those soldiers who surrendered to the camp, and the notoriety of killing prisoners will be borne by this general alone!"

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

Chen Yongfu didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took orders and left.
