"Old brothers on the other side!"

"We are all old brothers in Xiying."

"We Xiying people will not fight Xiying people."

"If you still sacrifice your lives for Wu Gou, you will be punished by God!"

For a time, a large number of old people from Yunnan and Guizhou shouted on the east bank of Yishui River.

The Wu troops on the west bank were greatly disturbed.

With a pop, a soldier from the Western Camp who knew how to swim jumped into the Yishui and swam hard to the east bank.

When the surrounding Wu army officers saw this, instead of stopping them, they were eager to try.

"Brothers who know how to swim, please swim over here."

"Old brothers, we have stewed the meat here, waiting for you to come over and eat together!"

Next to the east bank, a famous loudspeaker shouted with a loudspeaker.

However, at this time, Ma Weixing came to the West Bank in person with his soldiers.

"Duke Xu, it's him!"

"He is the one who is inciting military morale!"

The Wu Jun officer who originally ran away pointed at the surrendered general of Xiying who had just asked the question and shouted.

In an instant, the situation on the West Bank became tense.

Upon seeing this, the Xiying general jumped up and jumped into the Yishui.

However, this old man from Yunnan did not know how to swim, so he quickly began to struggle in the narrow Yishui.

"Hurry, hurry, brothers who know how to swim, go pick him up!"

A former military general on the east bank saw this and quickly ordered.

In an instant, seven or eight Xiying soldiers who were good at water jumped into the Yishui and struggled to rescue him.

"Shoot! Fire arrows!" Wu Jiang, who had attracted Ma Weixing, shouted quickly when he saw this.

However, the surrounding surrendered soldiers and generals were whistling and noncommittal.

"Shoot quickly, shoot quickly!" General Wu Jun continued to yell.

Seeing this, Ma Weixing grimaced and said, "Hurry up and shoot and kill this traitor!"

"Those who disobey orders will be subject to military law!"

As soon as this was said, the soldiers of the Xiying camp on the west bank picked up their shotguns and bows this time.

However, he dragged his feet and aimed at the old brothers in Yishui.

bang bang bang-

shhhhh--

Scattered gunshots rang out.

Arrows and lead bullets hit the Yishui one after another, causing waves.

The general of Wu Army was overjoyed when he saw this, but when he looked around, he found out.

Neither the shotgun nor the bow and arrow hit.

Even the wave closest to the traitor general was two feet away.

"Reverse! Reverse!"

"You surrendered soldiers from the Western Camp are preparing to rebel!" He was so excited that he shouted quickly.

Ma Weixing was also shocked when he saw this.

The morale of his subordinates has changed drastically.

"Everyone, return to the camp."

"From now on, you are not allowed to come to the river without permission!"

He quickly issued an order prohibiting his subordinates from eating and resting by the Yishui River.

"Yes..." A group of Xiying soldiers threw their hands over weakly.

"Mr. Xu, is this the end of today's affairs?"

When the generals of the Wu army saw this, they refused to give up.

"Otherwise?" Ma Weixing said angrily: "Is it possible to provoke a mutiny?"

The general of the Wu army was shocked when he heard this, but when he saw the dense crowd of descendants from the Western Camp around him, he felt frightened.

He could only stop his activities and leave quickly.

"Commander, Wu Sangui's defeat will happen sooner or later. We have to prepare early!" A close confidant of Ma Weixing spoke quickly and reminded.

"Let's take a look first and then talk. The prince is kind to me."

"Let's wait a little longer." Ma Weixing let out a long sigh, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He was not a rebellious person to begin with. He had been fighting for the Ming Dynasty with his uncle Ma Jinzhong.

After Hunan and other places fell, they entered Guizhou and accepted Sun Kewang's adaptation and leadership.

After that, Li Dingguo entered Yunnan, and he, Ma Bao and others responded.

To say that he has no integrity, Ma Weixing was able to persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty for so long.

To say that he has integrity, Ma Weixing stabbed Sun Kewang in the back again.

This man is so complicated.

When Ma Weixing and others were under Sun Kewang, they also worked hard and did things for Lord Sun.

But when he was stabbed in the end, he was extremely cruel.

But it just so happened that this group of people were at odds with the Manchus.

As long as there is a chance, we will fight to the end with our Qing Dynasty.

Now after experiencing so much, they have some conscience and are under the kindness of Wu Sangui.

Maintained the basic integrity among the five armies.

Soon, the soldiers of Xiying returned to the camp with all their strength as required by the military order.

Ma Weixing also reported today's events to Wu Sangui.

In the past few days, it is not just Ma Weixing's department.

There were small-scale rebellions among soldiers in various Wu armies.

Faced with this situation, Wu Sangui was helpless.

He was now in a dilemma.

If we vigorously rectify the surrendered troops and generals in the Western Camp, I am afraid that the Wu army will self-destruct directly.

But if they don't rectify it, I'm afraid the Wu army will disperse.

Now that the war situation is unfavorable, he has this main force composed of surrendered troops from the Western Camp.

The morale of the army has long been weakened, and the combat effectiveness is gone.

That night, various Wu armies prepared one after another.

Wu Sangui met Hu Guozhu for the last time.

He was given 10,000 troops from the old camp and the green camp, and 10,000 troops from the west camp.

Let him break the back for the main force.

Early the next morning, Wu Sangui mobilized various ministries and led tens of thousands of troops to leave Yishui and embarked on the road back to Guanzhong.

However, at this moment, some of the generals in Xiying were unwilling to follow Wu Sangui.

In Beimang Mountain, Yang Wu, the general who conquered the barbarians, learned that Wu Sangui had retreated.

He immediately decided to return to Qin anyway!

In the Wu army camp in Mang Mountain, Yang Wu summoned the generals to discuss.

Then he raised his glass as a signal and personally led Wu Sangui's cronies among the five hundred generals to attack and kill them all.

"Brothers, we are all from Xiying. Why do we continue to work for Wu Sangui now?"

"The king is now on the other side of the Yellow River."

"Tell me, should we welcome the king?"

"Welcome the Lord!"

"Welcome the Lord!"

"Welcome the Lord!"

In the Mangshan camp, more than 6,000 surrendered soldiers from the Western Camp raised their arms and shouted.

"Okay! The whole army will stick to the camp and send people to lead the army of the king across the Yellow River!"

Yang Wu immediately gave the order, and the entire Mangshan camp changed its flag instantly.

Among the generals of the Western Camp, Yang Wu was the one with the lowest moral integrity.

When Sun Ke hoped to raise troops in Guiyang, Yang Wu was the commander-in-chief of Wugang, holding tens of thousands of troops to guard the important town of Wugang.

However, he is different from other generals.

After Sun Guozhu fled from Guiyang in embarrassment.

Although the guarding generals in various places along the way remained closed-door to each other, they did not send troops to fight.

Even those with a little more conscience prepared wine and food and hung them from the city wall.

I took care of Sun Guozhu and gave him a full meal.

After Sun Guozhu ran into Hunan, Jingzhou Taoist Wu Fengsheng came to greet him with three thousand soldiers and horses from Jingzhou.

This allowed Lord Sun to gather five or six thousand soldiers and horses, and he had a temporary place to stay.

Then, Sun Guozhu, who brought his last few thousand soldiers and horses, was intercepted and killed by Yang Wu in Wugang.

All the capital was lost to Yang Wu. If only that was it.

After all, if Yang Wu was truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, there would be nothing wrong with him at this time.

Among the people in the Western Camp who were stabbed in the back, Yang Wu was at best ranked with Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others.

But it is different from Bai Wenxuan and others who reduced their strength to the Qing Dynasty.

It is also different from the future restoration of Ma Bao and Ma Weixing.

Yang Wu is a real villain.

After Mopan Mountain, the other generals of the Western Camp were struggling to hold on.

Only he led his troops and got stuck at the border, while plundering property.

On the one hand, he took the initiative to contact Wu Sangui and sent people to Burma to trick the Yongli court into naming him Duke Ying.

In history, the imperial edict from the Yongli court was waiting to be received.

He then escorted a large number of Nanming civil and military officials and surrendered to the Manchus as a duke.

I want to strive for a future in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that not only the generals of Xiying hated him in the end.

Even Wu Sangui couldn't stand him and killed him directly.

As the only one among a large number of Xiying surrendered generals to be killed by Wu Sangui.

Even the traitor Wu Sangui couldn't stand Yang Wu's character, which shows how specific he is.

Now Wu Sangui is showing kindness to the generals of Xiying.

Ma Weixing and others, who had some sense of integrity, appreciated this kindness and were able to temporarily go westward with Wu Sangui.

But Yang Wu, who used his leadership, his emperor, his teammates, and his court to gain wealth, didn't have so many worries.

As a result, he, who was responsible for guarding Mang Mountain, took the lead in changing flags to respond.

This opened the gate to the north of Luoyang, and the Jiaqian Army, which had already marched into Huaiqing Mansion, was able to quickly cross the river.

After learning that Yang Wu had rebelled.

Wu Sangui, who had just retreated to Luoyang, was shocked.

"Now that I am at a loss, what should I do?" He couldn't help sighing, and asked his confidant with a depressed expression.

"Your Majesty, for this plan, retreat immediately!"

General Hu Shouliang said quickly: "Now all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of our army are surrendering to the Western Camp."

"The prince's old and powerful troops were either lost in Shanxi or trapped in northern Shaanxi."

"The remnants were also sent to Hu Guozhu to cut off the rear of the army."

"Now Yang Wu is rebelling in Mang Mountain, and Sun Ke is expected to cross the river soon."

"If you surrender your troops to attack Yang Wu, you are actually saving money to put out the fire."

"Only by leading the army to the west quickly can we save any strength so that we can continue to deal with Sun Kewang in Shaanxi and Gansu!"

Wu Sangui originally stationed himself at Mangshan in Yangwu because he wanted him to burn the ships and delay Sun Kewang's actions.

Now this unit's rebellion has undoubtedly put Wu Sangui in a desperate situation.

Sun Kewang's main force is about to arrive, if it can't be delayed for a few days.

So even if Hu Guozhu blocked Feng Shuangli in Yishui.

Wu's army's westward retreat was destined to be a desperate journey.

But now, Wu Sangui has no way out in Luoyang.

Rather than waiting for death here, it is better to embark on this desperate journey.

"Okay! Our army must withdraw westward as quickly as possible. We must not let Sun Kewang catch up!"

After Wu Sangui thought for a moment, he figured it out and immediately ordered the Wu army to continue withdrawing westward.

Soon, on the official road from Shaanxi to Luoyang.

Tens of thousands of Wu troops fled in panic, discarding armor, weapons, and artillery along the way.

A large number of soldiers from the Western Camp were scattered.

The entire Wu army was on the verge of collapse without a fight.

At almost the same moment, the first batch of advanced troops crossed Mang Mountain with the support of Yang Wu.

After learning that the Wu army was rapidly withdrawing westward.

Sun Kewang, who was still on the north bank of the Yellow River, quickly led his troops to Mang Mountain in person, and then ordered the troops who had already crossed the river to pursue them quickly.

Generals Yang Silong and Yang Wu set off first.

Yang Silong led 3,000 cavalry to advance first, and Yang Wu led more than 6,000 troops from his own army to follow.

A great escape battle begins.

On the fourth day of December, Wu Sangui marched quickly to Xin'an.

Along the way, the Wu army abandoned all their artillery and baggage.

There were even as many as 5,000 to 6,000 troops from the Western Camp who surrendered and fled.

After a series of blows, the main force of the Wu army, which once numbered 110,000, was defeated.

At this time, even if some of the surrender troops were absorbed, Wu Sangui still had less than 50,000 people in his hands.

In order to delay the advance of the army.

Wu Sangui had to order Ma Weixing to lead five thousand troops to guard Xin'an.

The next day, the Wu army continued to retreat westward, and a large number of soldiers fled on the way.

At this moment, the cavalry brought by Yang Silong had arrived in Xin'an.

Seeing that Wu troops were stationed in the city, Yang Silong quickly bypassed Xin'an and continued westward.

Upon seeing this, Ma Weixing sent troops and horses to fight.

However, the soldiers and horses under his command were unwilling to fight at all, and dispersed as soon as they came into contact.

Ma Weixing could only sigh, pack up the remaining soldiers and continue to defend Xin'an.

On December 6, Wu Sangui led his troops to Mianchi.

After counting, the Wu army still had more than 38,000 horse and infantry troops.

At the same time, the three thousand cavalry led by Yang Silong absorbed more than two thousand troops from the Western Camp along the way.

Also arrived at the foot of Mianchi City.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui had to mobilize his old soldiers.

He sent general Hu Shouliang out of the city to fight, and temporarily repelled Yang Silong.

But on the same day, Yang Wu led his troops to Xin'an.

There was a commotion among the soldiers of the Western Camp in the city, and Ma Weixing did not dare to hesitate when he saw this.

Then he raised the city and changed its flag in Xin'an.

On the seventh day of December, Wu Sangui left 3,000 troops and horses to be commanded by Gao Chengen and cut off the rear in Mianchi.

He personally controlled more than 30,000 Wu troops and continued westward.

On the same day, Sun Kewang sent Chen Jian to lead Hsiaoqi Town towards Mianchi under his own dragon flag.

After seeing the dragon flag of Lord Sun.

The troops in the western camp of Mianchi moved violently, and Chen Jian personally came to the city to recruit them.

Gao Cheng'en and Chen Jian, two old Shu vassals, were able to rebuild.

In the afternoon of that day, the gate of Mianchi City opened.

Gao Chengen led his troops to change the flag.

The next day, Chen Jian led Huqi Town to continue westward.

On the road from Shaanzhou to Mianchi, they caught up with the main force of the Wu army.

Wu Sangui ordered General Hu Shouliang to lead the cavalry into battle.

The fighting will of the soldiers in the Western Camp was low, and the Wu army was defeated.

Chen Jian led his troops directly towards Wu Sangui's royal flag.

Guard Lu Xia and others fought tooth and nail to protect Wu Sangui, and only then were Wu Sangui able to escape.

December 9th.

Wu Sangui gathered the remaining troops and arrived in Shaanzhou.

After counting, Wu Jun still had more than 8,000 soldiers and horses left.

The remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were scattered and disappeared.

"I have been in the army for more than 20 years and have never been defeated like today!"

In Shaanzhou City, Wu Sangui cried loudly, feeling desperate.

The next day, Wu Sangui led the last more than 8,000 Wu troops to capture the Shaanzhou defenders.

Passing Lingbao, we arrived at Tongguan on December 12th.

At this moment, the main force of the Wu army, which once numbered more than 100,000 people, now only has the last 7,000 people left.

The next day, the cavalry troops of the Qianqian Army arrived at Tongguan City.

And behind this cavalry force, there were more than 200,000 troops.

It is rolling towards Tongguan.

In addition, Zhang Sheng has already reached the Weishui River and is confronting Xia Guo in Xianyang.

After Zhang Hu killed Wu Guogui in Queshe Valley, he led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to capture Pingyang.

is approaching the Yellow River. (End of chapter)
