At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

The Jiaqian army then broke through the fork in the road and entered the Hedong plain.

By the time December arrived, the entire Wu Army's defense line had been greatly shaken.

Zhang Sheng led his troops into Guanzhong, threatening the Wu army's food routes and retreat.

Zhang Hu led his troops into Hedong, and almost crossed the Yellow River to the west to join forces with Zhang Sheng, and then went south to Tongguan to block the Wu army's retreat.

At the same time, after learning about the progress of Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu.

Sun Kewang personally led an army of 100,000 troops to drive Huaiqing from Zhending, preparing to cross the Yellow River south to fight Wu Sangui in Luoyang.

Wu Jun's battle situation was like this, and Wu Sangui could no longer sit down in Luoyang.

On the banks of the Yishui River, in the Wu army's camp, which has been camped for dozens of miles.

Wu Sangui coughed twice and spoke to the generals under his hands.

"Sun Kewang is unwilling to give in. He is just the quarrel of spirit of a street brawler, without the tolerance of the Holy Lord and Mingjun."

"He now disregards the lives of the people in the world and uses hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack this king without mercy."

"The current plan is to abandon the defense of Luoyang, shorten the front line, and retreat to Tongguan."

"What do you think, generals?"

As soon as these words came out, a group of Wu generals bowed their heads and remained silent in the big tent.

At this moment, he was suppressed by Sun Kewang's absolute military strength.

A sense of suffocation has enveloped everyone's hearts.

Northern Shaanxi and Taiyuan were both broken through by the Western Army.

In Luoyang, there was Feng Shuangli's 100,000 troops in front.

On the side was Sun Kewang's 100,000-strong army.

Behind Guanzhong and Hedong, there are also Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu's 100,000 troops.

Who knows if there is another 100,000-strong army of Sun Kewang in the land of Huguang.

Looking at the world, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the pre-Ming Dynasty.

An army of 100,000 level is the most powerful force in the country.

How can anyone like Sun Kewang pile up hundreds of thousands to fight?

In this situation, how could Wu Fan fight? How else to play?
Now Luoyang cannot be defended, but Tongguan can be defended?
Tongguan can be defended, but what about northern Shaanxi and Hedong?
Can northern Shaanxi and Hedong be defended?

But what about Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan?
Looking at Sun Kewang's mighty army, General Wu Jun felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

In addition to the absolute advantage in military strength.

In terms of food and wages, the Western Army's expedition to Shaanxi and Gansu was even compared with the Wu Army's backing to Shaanxi and Gansu.

The gap between the two sides is even greater than the apparent military strength!
How can we fight this kind of battle?

Wu Sangui looked at the silent generals, feeling bitter in his heart.

The fight between him and Sun Kewang didn't involve any unique ideas or battles of wits and courage.

Sun Kewang simply relied on his military strength and food and salary to suppress himself.

Wu Sangui has also been thinking hard about ways to break the situation during this period.

But faced with this situation, what can he do?

"Your Majesty, Taiyuan has been lost, and your adopted son is also loyal to him in Queshe Valley."

"Our army can only retreat to Tongguan and shorten the front line according to the prince's plan."

"It's time to wait for the opportunity and guard the place in Guanzhong to wait for the right time."

Hu Guozhu spoke slowly, with a hint of sighing in his words.

Guanzhong was unstable and Hedong was broken.

The Wu army could only return to Tongguan, abandon the land of Luoyang, and save some troops to block Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu's troops.

It's just different from the Wu army in northern Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Wu Sangui's main force, the Western Camp, surrendered a lot of troops.

Although Wu Sangui is in charge personally, Ma Weixing and others are also grateful for Wu Sangui's kindness, so nothing has happened yet.

But this is the retreat road from Luoyang to Tongguan.

Hu Guozhu didn't know how much the main force of the Wu army had lost.

The only thing he knew was that if the main force of the Wu army did not return reinforcements.

Then Guanzhong will be in danger!

"Pass the order, all armies get ready."

"Tomorrow morning, except for Hu Guozhu's troops, everyone will withdraw from Tongguan to the west." Wu Sangui spoke and issued his order.

Generally speaking, it is better for the army to retreat at night.

Because if the enemy is not careful, Wu Jun can be defeated.

But Wu Sangui didn't dare to do this to the Western Camp under his command!

Retreat at night, once the soldiers want to escape.

Wu Sangui is not even easy to catch!
So we could only retreat in broad daylight.

After all, if Xiying surrendered troops to cause chaos during the day, Wu Sangui would at least have a chance to suppress it and make amends.

If it was late at night, they might just blow up the camp.

If you retreat during the day, you must leave strong troops and horses behind to break up the main force.

Originally, Wu Guogui was the most suitable person for this task among the Wu troops.

This adopted son of Wu Sangui is just like Sun Kewang of Xiying in the past, specializing in interrupting post-war battles.

Historically, Yue Le led his troops from Jiangxi into Hunan, defeated the Xia Prime Minister in Pingxiang, and directed his troops towards Changsha.

Wu Sangui had to take the main force of the Wu army back to Changsha to aid.

Only Wu Guogui was left with more than 10,000 partial troops to break up the rear in the Songzi area to contain Leerjin's Manchu and Qing Jingzhou Army.

At this time, the number of Qing troops in Jingxiang was as high as 100,000.

If Wu Guogui cannot succeed in cutting off the enemy, then Wu Zhou will most likely die in this wave.

As a result, Wu Guogui first lured the enemy deeper and defeated Belcani on Taiping Street.

Another message was sent out, stating that the main force of the Wu army had returned to the main division, and that Tan Hong's navy was moving down the river.

To cut off the Yangtze River, Leerjin's retreat was taken.

As a result, Leerjin was so frightened that the main force of the Qing army fled back to Jingzhou in embarrassment, giving up the great opportunity.

A farce was staged in which 100,000 Qing troops were frightened by more than 10,000 Wu troops.

It's a pity that such a good general died in Quesnake Valley.

Wu Sangui had always taken Wu Guogui with him, but now he was left to stand alone and ended up like this.

Wu Sangui could only let Hu Guozhu take over Wu Guogui's traditional mission and cut off the Wu army.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely cling to Feng Shuangli in Luochuan."

"Don't let him disturb the main force at all!" Hu Guozhu said through clenched teeth.

"Okay! I will leave you 20,000 soldiers and horses alone."

"You must hold on for three days for me!" Wu Sangui said solemnly.

"I will definitely live up to the prince's trust." Hu Guozhu said immediately.

Wu Sangui looked at Hu Guozhu's determined look and couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.

He knew that after parting with Hu Guozhu, he was afraid that he would never see each other again.

Wu Guogui, Wu Sangui's favorite general, died in Quesnake Valley.

Now Hu Guozhu is following in his footsteps.

In addition to these two people, Wu Zhimao was trapped in Yulin and Wang Pingfan was trapped in Yan'an.

Even Ma Bao, the surrendered general of Xiying who was most valued by Wu Sangui, died in Shuanglong Mountain.

Watching your loved ones die one by one.

Even Wu Sangui, who had become a great traitor, could not help but be moved.

"Why doesn't Sun Kewang let me go?"

Thousands of words turned into a long sigh.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but shook his head.

He didn't understand why Sun Kewang insisted on doing this.

If you look at it from the perspective of the world.

He used the land of five provinces and 200,000 soldiers to request a permanent town to help Sun Ke hope to unify the world.

In the end, he even expressed his willingness to control the Western Region forever.

The battle was dangerous, so why did Sun Kewang insist on fighting this battle?
From the people's perspective.

The world has been in chaos for more than thirty years, and it is time to recuperate. Sun Kewang insisted on launching a war again. Wouldn't he want to ruin all living beings?

In Wu Sangui's mind, Sun Kewang's behavior was not like a wise king.

Just like what he said, Sun Kewang only has the spirit of fighting in the market, and has no tolerance of the Holy Lord and Mingjun.

I still have soldiers and horses, I still have territory, and I still have capital.

Wu Sangui couldn't figure it out even if he tried hard. Why couldn't Sun Kewang see this?

If it is in front of the Manchu and Ming Dynasties.

I'm afraid it's too late for them to be happy if I take the initiative to ask for support!
No matter how frustrated and shouting Wu Sangui was in his heart.

The contest between the Western Army and the Wu Army continues.

That afternoon, across the Yishui.

The Qianjun drove up a big pot.

Eat various meats as the flames burn.

A sky full of meat hits your nostrils.

The fragrance from thousands of cauldrons can still be heard by the soldiers of the Wu army across the narrow Yishui River.

"Old brothers from Xiying, what are you waiting for?"

"I followed the king to Guangxi, where there was plenty of meat and fish every day!"

"The king of the country not only received dozens of taels of silver and hundreds of stones of rice and grain a year."

"I was also given hundreds of acres of land in Jiangnan."

"If you had followed the king, you would have been treated like me."

"We old people in Yunnan and Guizhou are now either commander-in-chief or sentinel-general. No matter how bad they are, they still hold the flag!"

"Tell me, why did you follow Li Dingguo first and then Wu Sangui?"

"Is it possible that you still have to sacrifice your life for Wu Sangui for those two taels of silver?"

An old man from Yunnan and Guizhou, a former military commander, shouted with an earthen trumpet.

"That's right! Old brothers from Yunnan and Guizhou."

"My brother only returned to the lord's service when the Tatars entered Yunnan."

"In the end, after the war in the past few years, he is now a sentry commander."

"My tongue is tired of eating that wine and meat!"

"My arms are sore from holding that silver!"

"The land allotted will become the property of the landlord!"

"Everyone is an old subordinate of the ruler of Yunnan and Guizhou."

"Ask yourselves, has the ruler ever cut off your food and salary, or compromised your food and clothing?"

"Now that things have happened, the king has destroyed the Tatars and is about to unify the world."

"Is it possible that you want to always be enemies of the king and fight against us old Xiying brothers?"

"Are you worth it for Wu Sangui, a big traitor?"

"How many times a month can he pay you? How many times can he give you meat?"

"It's just five buckets of rice and two taels of silver. Why are you still trying to kill yourself?"

Another person with a loud voice held an earthen trumpet and kept shouting across Yishui.

A group of Wu soldiers were eating steamed buns, drinking porridge, and smelling the aroma of meat.

Seeing the big fish and meat on the other side, the old brother from Xiying was very excited.

"Damn it, why did the Marshal follow Li Dingguo in the first place!"

One of Ma Bao's former subordinates couldn't help but curse.

Ma Bao once participated in the surprise attack on Kunming as Zhang Sheng's deputy.

If he had followed Sun Guozhu, he would now be the deputy of Han Wang Zhang Sheng.

And his subordinates will also become members of Xiaoqi Town and become the elite of the elite of the Western Army.

The treatment of ordinary Western troops next door is still the same.

If they become a member of Xiaoqi Town.

That's not just eating beef and mutton and holding money and grain.

Can even the Manchu princess Ge Ge play?

Maybe after Zhang Sheng and his gang are finished arranging.

You can still pick up Xiaozhuang’s body!
Why is there any need to eat steamed buns and drink gruel that is clear and watery?
"That's right! Why was the Marshal so drunk by Li Dingguo in the first place?"

"If he can stay in Jiaoshui, no, even if he follows the king in Guiyang."

"Now not only can he become a figure like Feng Shuangli, I can also follow the leader of the country to achieve the feat of following the dragon!"

Listening to Ma Bao's sigh, another Wu Jun general not only did not stop him, but started to sigh himself.

He is an old member of Bai Wenxuan.

In the past, he had followed Bai Wenxuan and became one of the troops that Sun Guozhu paid close attention to.

Bai Wenxuan was even ranked higher than Feng Shuangli, Wang Shangli, and Wang Ziqi in Sun Kewang's heart.

Otherwise, he would not be given full authority to command the front army, go to Anlong to move the army, and serve as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy in the battle of Jiao Shui.

But Bai Wenxuan chose this path.

Together with his men, they suffered a fateful fate.

This old subordinate of Bai Wenxuan participated in the Battle of Jiaoshui, and was later released by Lord Sun in Weiqing.

After the defeat of Beipanjiang later, he was dispersed by the Qing army and escaped into the mountains and forests.

In the end, Wu Sangui raised the flag of righteousness before defecting to Wu Sangui until now.

Now I look at the dazzling Xiying old brothers on the other side.

This made the Xiying general sigh and think.

Anlong, Jiaoshui, Weiqing.

If only his coach, Danfan, had seized an opportunity and not betrayed Lord Sun.

So now, I am one of the old brothers from the other side!

During the friendly exchanges between both parties.

The old brothers in Xiying east of Yishui were all in high spirits and kept talking.

The old brothers in Xiying to the west of Yishui sighed and felt aggrieved one by one.

"Old brothers on the other side, what is the attitude of the ruler towards us old brothers now!"

Suddenly a bold low-ranking Wu Jun officer asked back.

In an instant, the sighing Wu soldiers became energetic.

"Bold, you dare to ask!"

Upon seeing this, a veteran Wu Jun officer couldn't bear it and immediately yelled.

In an instant, all the people in Xiying on both sides of the Yishui River in this area focused their attention on him.

At this moment, the Wu Jun officer was speechless.

Because he actually felt his loneliness and helplessness.

Among the Xiying people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, he seemed so insignificant.

"Go, go, go, it's your turn to interrupt in the conversation between our Xiying brothers!"

The bold officer who spoke cursed.

"you--"

The Wu army officer was about to get angry, but he had to retreat angrily when he saw a group of people from Xiying who looked unkind.

"Brother, there's no need to ask."

"It's not like you haven't heard of Bai Wenxuan."

"How did the king treat him? He gave him several chances!"

"Although you old brothers took the wrong path for a while."

"But the old man, the Lord, is kind, and now the Lord has become the emperor again."

"This prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, but the king's belly is not to mention you old brothers."

"Even Jiuzhou Wanfang can pretend it!"

In an instant, all the people from Xiying suddenly realized.

Needless to say anything else, just these three words "Bai Wenxuan" are enough.
