Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 647 Success Reports Are Frequently Reported (Part [-])
This sentence was too unexpected, Sun Kewang's brain seemed to be rusted, unable to turn around, his two small black eyes were fixed on the soldier who reported the incident.

Not only Sun Kewang, but all the officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army who were present all stared at the general who reported the incident, all with this expression: either my ears heard it wrong, or he made a mistake.The capital has fallen, how is this possible?

Sun Kewang stared at the general, until the general who reported the incident was covered in hairs, and his hairy eyes suddenly appeared, then Sun Kewang said in a cold tone: "What are you going to say?"

"Returning to Your Highness," the general quickly kowtowed, "The capital has fallen..."

Before the general could finish speaking, Sun Kewang, who reacted so quickly this time, strode over, grabbed the general by the collar of his armor, and lifted it abruptly, "How did you fall? How is this possible? Where are Prime Minister Wang and Madam Tao?"

"Your Highness, the Ming army descended from the sky and suddenly appeared outside the capital a few days ago. They did not know where they found someone who was exactly like Prince Anxi. They pretended to be King Anxi and opened the city gate, and the capital fell. Prime Minister And the whereabouts of the empress are unknown..."

"Annoyed, damned!" Sun Kewang's angry face turned into a pig's liver, and his two fierce little black eyes showed a murderous edge. He let go of his hands, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Will be thrown a somersault, almost being thrown back to death.

Sun Kewang felt a little dizzy, not only the Daxi generals present were dumbfounded, especially the siege generals.

The fall of the capital is equivalent to losing their home.Children, wives, young and old in the family, needless to say, must have been brutally murdered at this time.

Therefore, Sun Kewang forced himself to calm down, disregarding the hard work of the pommel horse battle, he didn't even bother to eat dinner, and withdrew his troops overnight.

At the same time, he sent people to ride fast horses to inform Mu Tianbo, Wang Shangli and other people from all walks of life, and sent people to fly horses to Phoenix Mountain to report to their Majesty Zhang Xianzhong.

Song Xiance commanded the Central Route Army to withdraw for more than 50 miles in one breath. From the approaching evening to Dinggengtian, the rapid march of more than three hours, both the cavalry and the infantry, were all sweaty and panting.

The 8 men retreated, and Song Xiance roughly divided them into these parts. After the 1 men were cut off, the [-] forward troops and the navy battalion retreated from the water, and the rest were the middle army.

The Daxi army pursued and intercepted, and clung tightly. Lian Song Xiance didn't know how long they would retreat. Now that they were surrounded by enemies, it was better to stop and fight with them. Blindly running like this would consume a lot of combat power.

Now even Song Xiance has such a mentality, and the generals of the Ming army are a little puzzled and unacceptable, but Song Xiance is the temporary commander-in-chief appointed by Zhu Yousong, and no one dares not to listen.

According to His Majesty's strategy, when they take down the capital, the Great Western Army will inevitably retreat, and then it will be time for them to counterattack.

But is the capital easy to win?This is Zhang Xianzhong's old lair, it must be heavily armed and a fortified city.

At this moment, news came from the troops behind, that the Great West Army had stopped pursuing.But bad news came from the vanguard. They were blocked in Gaogang Town and lost the battle. Sun Kewang's Daxi Army had already occupied Gaogang.

Song Xiance suddenly felt that the situation was not good. It was obvious that these tens of thousands of horses had been trapped in a large encirclement by the Western Army from all directions. If the encirclement was compressed, their tens of thousands of horses would be wrapped in dumplings.

Song Xiance ordered people to find a suitable terrain and set up a temporary camp.Burying pots to make food, tens of thousands of horses have fought for such a long time, people have to eat, horses have to drink water and feed, and they all need to rest to recover their combat power.

At this time Song is now thinking about how to break through.

According to His Majesty's planning, of course, he had to break out to the east, but Sun Kewang's men and horses had already occupied the favorable terrain of Gaogang Town in the east.

Sun Kewang's team was extremely powerful, and Sun Kewang's name, Song Xiance had heard of him when he was working under Li Zicheng, it seemed that if he wanted to break through the encirclement, he had to send elite troops.He planned to dispatch Zhu Yousong's trump card teacher, the imperial cavalry.

This is undoubtedly the team with the strongest combat effectiveness, but there are only 3000 people.We are retreating now, and we need to push this team up to break out of the encirclement.When His Majesty ordered us to counterattack, didn't we have a trump card in our hands?

But without sending this team, which army can deal with Sun Kewang's men?I don't know if His Majesty has succeeded, how long will the retreat take?
Song Xiance was a little embarrassed and confused for a while.

At this moment, another person came to report: "Sir, Sun Kewang has withdrawn his troops."

"What did you say?" Song Xiance stared at the reporter with incredulous eyes.

The general who reported the incident had to repeat it again.

Song Xiance paced back and forth for a few steps, feeling that he should restore his combat power as soon as possible, and then sent an order, "This must be some kind of conspiracy by Sun Kewang, leave them alone, order the battalions to strengthen their guard, and the rest of them should hurry up to eat and rest."

Next, the soldiers of each battalion of the Ming army took turns to eat, take turns to guard, and take turns to rest.

In this way until dawn, the Western Army from all directions did not come to attack them again.

Song Xiance was a little puzzled, what the hell are these bandits doing?Just as he was about to send someone to investigate, the informers ran over one by one.

"Great news, sir. Sun Kewang's troops have indeed withdrawn. They disappeared overnight. There are no troops within 40 miles."

……

"Good news sir, the troops of Mu Tianbo and Wang Shangli also withdrew overnight, and they have withdrawn for more than 30 miles."

……

"Your Majesty has an order. The capital of the Great Western Army has been taken down. Your Majesty is leading the army to Shimen Bridge, intending to stop the Ming army there. He ordered you to stop the retreat and pursue the Great Western Army without any mistakes."

This is really good news, the more Song Xiance listened, the happier he became. In the end, he almost jumped up. He opened the city gate with false tricks, took the imperial city, and took away the den of thieves like lightning. No wonder Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo, Wang Shangli They are competing to withdraw their troops, Your Majesty is really a man of God!
After a night's rest, Song Xiance is now full of energy.Not only him, tens of thousands of Ming army soldiers also recovered their combat power.

Song Xiance immediately sent an order to gather the troops, and the soldiers of each battalion soon learned the great news, which was so inspiring, and there was no need to pretend to run away anymore, it was time for us to hunt down these bandits!
All beaming and cheering.His Majesty strategized and decided to win thousands of miles away. Zhang Xianzhong's demise is imminent.

The generals were full of ambition and excited, and couldn't wait for Song Xiance's military order.

Half an hour later, the battalions pulled out their camps, advanced by land and water, turned around, and started chasing Daxi's army.
