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

However, Qinzhou City remained lifeless and motionless despite the shouts of Wu Jun's cavalry.

"Damn it, you bastards, open the city gate!"

Seeing this, a group of remnants of the Wu army started shouting and cursing under Qinzhou City.

But no matter how much they insulted them, there was still no movement in Qinzhou City.

Wu Sangui also clenched his fists when he saw this.

He knew that if he was like this, Qinzhou City would not open the door for him.

"Let's go. If I still have a large army, then Qinzhou City can still be entered."

"It's a pity that the king only has more than a thousand remaining soldiers now."

"Since these soldiers and horses cannot conquer Qinzhou, how can they open the door for me, the king of Zhou who has become a lost dog?"

"It's already good that they didn't take advantage of the king's defeat and go out to fight against each other."

He laughed at himself, his eyes full of bitterness.

The generals of the Wu army who Gao Dejie and others followed him to break through also lowered their heads one by one and remained silent.

The Wu army officers and soldiers turned their horses around one by one and left Qinzhou with exhaustion and resentment all over their bodies.

Gao Dejie personally led a hundred cavalry in front to clear the way for Wu Sangui.

Finally, in a village, Gao Dejie plundered all the food.

And invited Wu Sangui to come and stay.

The soldiers of the Wu army raised smoke and slaughtered the pigs and sheep.

I had a full meal for the time being.

After waiting for several hours, Wu Sangui urged his men to get up.

More than a thousand remnants of the Wu army guarded his surroundings and continued westward.

Along the way, we passed through Fuqiang, Ningyuan, Gongchang and Weiyuan.

The defenders everywhere closed their doors and refused to accept him.

Even the defenders of Gongchang Mansion saw that Wu Sangui only had a thousand remaining soldiers, so they even sent troops to try to attack and kill Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui was furious and put on armor himself and went into battle.

He led the remnants of the Wu army to kill hundreds of Gongchang Mansion defenders, which shocked the officials and gentry of Gongchang Mansion.

Then Wu Sangui led his men to show off their power under Gongchang Mansion, killing horses and eating them.

Then he led his troops northward and arrived in Lanzhou day and night.

At the foot of Lanzhou City, the local officials and gentry turned a blind eye to Wu Sangui's decline.

And they also followed the example of Gongchang Mansion and sent thousands of rural warriors out of the city to intercept and kill.

Wu Sangui was furious when he saw this.

He once again went into battle in person, leading the elite Wu army to charge left and right among the local warriors.

Thousands of Lanzhou Township soldiers were rushed to pieces, and more than a thousand people were killed.

The officials and gentry in Lanzhou did not dare to fight anymore when they saw this, and quickly occupied the city and defended it.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to choose a village outside the city to stay temporarily.

At this moment, more than 1,000 Wu troops fell behind, fled, died of illness, and as many as 56 out of 10 died in battle.

Wu Sangui only has more than 500 people left.

"Ping Fan, Zhi Mao, you must come!"

Outside the village, Wu Sangui stood on the top of a mountain and looked up.

Looking forward to Wang Pingfan and Wu Zhimao in northern Shaanxi coming with their army.

Because only in this way can he have the capital to make a comeback.

If it weren't for the more than 500 people under his own hands.

How can we escape from the Great Wall and go to the Western Regions to find refuge?
Without soldiers and horses, even if the Yarkand Khanate could take him in.

But when Sun Kewang's troops arrive, all he needs is a piece of paperwork.

The Yarkand Khanate will definitely give itself away to gain Sun Kewang's favor.

Wu Sangui, who has spent his whole life supporting troops and respecting himself, naturally knows this trick very well.

In troubled times, without soldiers and horses, no one will take you seriously!
If Wu Sangui wants to survive, he must hold an army in his hands!
In this way, Wu Sangui waited anxiously at the place agreed with Wang Pingfan and Wu Zhimao.

For several days, there was no news from Wang Pingfan and Wu Zhimao's army.

This made Wu Sangui extremely anxious. With a clang, the New Year's bell rang in Lanzhou City.

The year 1660 AD has passed and the year 1661 AD has arrived.

Throughout the land of China, the war has subsided in most areas, and people are celebrating the New Year.

But Wu Sangui in Lanzhou was trembling all over.

Because before the New Year, this was the deadline he had agreed with Wang Pingfan and Wu Zhimao.

If after this time, the two men have not come with the army, then something must have happened to the Wu army in northern Shaanxi.

"Your Majesty, when the New Year comes, the brothers went to grab some flour and some cattle and sheep."

"Made a pot of dumplings for the prince."

"My lord, please try how it tastes."

The loyal Gao Dejie came to Wu Sangui holding a large bowl of dumplings and said.

Wu Sangui looked at the hot dumplings, and then at Gao Dejie, who had been with him for more than ten years, and suddenly felt sad.

"This is a great festival, I have betrayed you loyal soldiers!" he said with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? If you hadn't followed your Majesty."

"I don't know where I died long ago."

"It was us who failed to defeat the Western bandits who failed the prince, not the prince who failed us!"

Seeing this, Gao Dejie was at a loss and quickly comforted him.

Wu Sangui shook his head when he saw this.

"If I had known today, I should have accepted Sun Kewang's explanation."

"If this is the case, I can still enjoy wealth and honor, and you loyal people can also take off your armor and return to your fields and enjoy peace."

"Why bother, why bother!"

When Gao Dejie and others heard this, they fell silent.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At this moment, guard Lu Xia suddenly ran over and shouted:
"General Wang is back!"

"What!" Wu Sangui was very excited when he heard this.

"Quick! Take me to see him quickly!"

"Ping Fan is back, and I, Wu Sangui, have hope of making a comeback!" he laughed.

Wang Ping Fan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if he can successfully break through from northern Shaanxi.

So with these soldiers and horses here, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

Wu Sangui can then go to Hexi calmly, then leave Jiayuguan and gallop in the Western Regions!
But after listening to Wu Sangui's excited words, Lu Xia fell silent.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Wu Sangui urged Lu Xia.

Seeing this, Lu Xia had no choice but to take Wu Sangui to the land of Wangping Fan.

Only inside the village.

General Wang Pingfan was unkempt and disheveled. He was eating and drinking in front of a big pot, as if he had never eaten in eight lifetimes.

There were dozens of the same people eating and drinking around him.

In an instant, Wu Sangui's whole body trembled as if he had been hit hard.

"Your Majesty, General Wang Pingfan found this place with dozens of brothers. These people are so hungry that they really can't survive."

"This subordinate has arranged for them to eat first." Lu Xia lowered his head and said.

When Wu Sangui heard this, his face suddenly turned ashen.

"The King of Zhou has arrived!" Gao Dejie shouted tragically.

Wang Pingfan and others responded quickly.

"Prince!" He rolled around and fell directly at Wu Sangui's feet.

"The general is incompetent! He left his troops in northern Shaanxi!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Pingfan burst into tears.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui quickly asked: "Where is Zhimao?"

"Brother Zhimao was tightly surrounded by the Western bandits in Yulin. He had few soldiers and horses and could not break out at all." Wang Pingfan cried. (End of chapter)
