At Yinshi, a scout with a tired look on his face came to report that the bandits were cooking and showed no signs of evacuating. It looked like they would launch a pursuit today.

With a determined expression on his face, Sun Chuanting looked at the deputy general of the Qin Army and the commander-in-chief Yansui.

The deputy general of the Qin army and the commander-in-chief of Yansui, who had been awake almost all night, had very bad looks on their faces. They knew that launching a counterattack against the rogue bandits at this time would involve huge risks, although in terms of strategic layout, they should be desperate.

Counterattack, so that the army can maintain the active situation, but from the actual situation, launching a counterattack at this time is equivalent to taking grain from the fire, and it will also fall into huge danger. The most important thing is that the sergeant has almost no fighting spirit.

.

Sun Chuanting made arrangements, with the sergeants of the Qin Army as the main force, some sergeants of the Yansui Border Army as assistance, and the remaining sergeants as a reserve team, and immediately launched a counterattack against the rogue invaders.

It seemed that Sun Chuanting still knew the actual situation of the sergeants and did not ask all the sergeants to launch a counterattack.

The deputy general of the Qin army is naturally responsible for the specific command of the battle, and General Yansui leads the rest of the sergeants. When necessary, he rushes to the aid of the deputy general of the Qin army and strives to defeat the rogue bandits who have been pursuing them in the shortest possible time.

All arrangements and deployment are completed within a quarter of an hour.

The sergeants of the Qin Army have been assembled. The expressions on their faces are numb. As for the other sergeants, their faces are not good either. Although they do not need to launch a counterattack against the bandits immediately, once the sergeants of the Qin Army cannot persist, they will also have to

Kill them all and rush to help.

This was a fight that Sun Chuanting insisted on, and it was also a very important counterattack from a strategic point of view, but it did not get the support of the officers and sergeants. After all, they had different ideas.

When the deputy general of the Qin army mounted his horse, his face had almost no expression, and he could not see any impassioned emotion. At this moment, he already felt uncomfortable inside. It should be said that the fighting had reached this point. Sun Chuanting should put the life of the sergeant first and return immediately.

Withdraw to Shaanxi and carry out extensive repairs, instead of continuing to think about the emperor and the court. You must know that even if you risk the lives of all the sergeants, there is no way to restore the current situation.

...

The rumble of horse hooves sounded, and a rain of arrows appeared in the sky instantly.

The rebel sergeants, who were ready to go, never expected that the officers and soldiers, who were like bereaved dogs, would suddenly launch a counterattack.

Liu Zongmin, who turned pale, ignored the punishment of the scouts and immediately began to organize the sergeants to resist the attack of the official army.

The team was a little confused. Some sergeants were hit by arrows and fell down screaming. Some sergeants turned around and prepared to evacuate. However, Liu Zongmin issued a strong order and no one was allowed to retreat.

Liu Zongmin's order was timely, and he led some officers to charge at the front.

Liu Zongmin is a very brave man. The charging officers and soldiers have already occupied an absolute momentum. At this time, riding a horse to meet him is like hitting a stone with an egg. However, if he retreats at this time, the defeat is likely to be instantaneous.

Appear.

Liu Zongmin had absolute confidence. After several days of continuous pursuit, he and the many rebel sergeants under his command had begun to despise the officers and soldiers who kept running away.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

The huge crashing sound covered up the screams, and countless people fell off their horses. With a little observation, it can be found that most of the people who fell off their horses were sergeants of the rebel army.

The two charging armies collided, and the sergeants who fell off their horses had no way to survive. Even if they could escape the swords and guns, they could not avoid the trampling of the horses' hooves.

Liu Zongmin's eyes widened and he shouted with all his strength. With a long spear, he had already picked off two officers and soldiers. However, some of the officers around him were also chopped over and fell off their horses. At this moment, insisting is

The most important thing is that they must not retreat. No matter in terms of military strength or fighting spirit, the rebels have an absolute advantage. As long as they can block the charge of the official army, once the fighting enters a stalemate, the rebels will

Be able to gradually gain an advantage.

Liu Zongmin didn't hold anything back, and all the rebel sergeants rushed forward.

The smell of blood quickly spread into the air, and no one of the suppressed rebel soldiers retreated.

After all, they are veteran cavalrymen who have experienced hundreds of battles. They will not evacuate on a large scale until they are at the end of their rope.

The officers took the lead in fighting without risking their lives, and the sergeants would naturally do the same.

Gradually, the suppressed rebel sergeants gradually stabilized themselves after paying a certain price.

The sergeants on both sides, from one side suppressing the other, gradually began to transition into a stalemate.

The most brutal fighting also began.

...

Sun Chuanting was holding a monocular and his body was trembling slightly. If the attack time had not been too short, he would have ordered all the sergeants to withdraw from the battle.

When did the rogue bandits become so tenacious and able to persevere despite being completely suppressed? Seeing the suppressed bandits begin to stabilize their formation, and the two sides fought together, Sun Chuanting's heart was stung again.

There were not many arrow feathers left, and all the bows and crossbows were lost. Sun Chuanting had tried his best in this attack. He originally expected to launch an attack when the bandits were caught off guard and defeat them in one fell swoop. Who knew that such a situation would happen.

It is absolutely impossible to order the sergeants to evacuate at this time, it is equivalent to committing suicide.

Putting down the monocular, Sun Chuanting looked at Commander Yansui beside him, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Lead all the sergeants to press forward. We must completely suppress the arrogance of the rogue bandits and never allow them to counterattack..."

There was a look of helplessness and pain on Commander Yansui's face. He raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted loudly to the sergeant behind him.

"Brothers, follow me to charge and defeat the bandits..."

The sound of horse hooves sounded again, and all the sergeants rushed forward.

...

There were only a dozen or so people left around Sun Chuanting. This was his own insistence. If it hadn't been for the strong obstruction of the Qin Army's deputy general and Yansui Commander-in-Chief, he would have led many soldiers to rush forward and fight.

After General Yansui led his sergeants to join the battle group, Sun Chuanting once again raised the monocular telescope in his hand.

The highly nervous Sun Chuanting, the joints of his fingers turned white, wanted to crush the monocular telescope in his hand. He had already put all the sergeants into the battle. If he could not suppress the bandits, he would not be able to form an absolute advantage.

Then we can only order the sergeants to evacuate immediately and enter Yunyang, Huguang as quickly as possible.

A few minutes passed, and the situation that Sun Chuanting expected did indeed appear, but it did not last long.

After a short period of fluctuation, the rogue bandits once again persisted.

In terms of military strength, more than 40,000 people under Sun Chuanting's command were all pressed up. There were nearly 60,000 rogue bandits in pursuit. In terms of military strength, the rogue bandits had an advantage, but this advantage could easily be resolved. The army took the initiative to charge, and the rogue bandits

Caught off guard, the rogues' advantage in strength was wiped out.

But Sun Chuanting ignored the most critical point, that is, the sergeants under his command were war-weary and unwilling to fight with all their strength. These sergeants only wanted to save their lives and return to Shaanxi, including the Qin Army Vice General and Yan Yan.

Commander-in-Chief Sui had this idea in his heart, not to mention other sergeants.

A sergeant who does not want to fight with all his strength cannot burst out with terrifying murderous intent. This is the main reason why the bandits can persevere. If the sergeant really bursts out with huge murderous intent, it is impossible for the bandits to reverse the unfavorable situation.

The more than ten sergeants around Sun Chuanting also had dull expressions. They could not clearly see the fighting on the battlefield ahead, but they could feel that it was impossible to completely defeat the pursuing bandits in this fighting.

Finally, Sun Chuanting spoke to the messenger beside him.

"Hurry up and convey my order. The army will evacuate immediately. We have suppressed the arrogance of the bandits..."

The ordering soldiers were in a daze. The fighting had only lasted less than half an hour. At this time, an order to evacuate was given. What if the rogues pursued them on a large scale?

The ordering soldier did not move. Sun Chuanting's face instantly turned livid, and he raised the whip in his hand and swung it away.

The leather whip hit the messenger, and the messenger screamed.

The other sergeants were attracted by the screams of the messenger, and they looked at the pale-faced messenger.

Sun Chuanting didn't care that much and roared at the messenger again.

"Hurry up and convey my order. The army will evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately, and march in the direction of Yunyang..."

The messenger's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing, turned the dock and headed forward.

The other sergeants consciously avoided Sun Chuanting. They had already felt Sun Chuanting's anger, and no one wanted to get into trouble at this time.

...

"General, General, Your Excellency, Your Excellency orders all the sergeants to evacuate and evacuate towards Huguang Yunyang..."

Before the messenger finished speaking, he fell off his horse. There were three arrow feathers on his back, and his back was soaked with blood.

With a bloody sound, the deputy general of the Qin army couldn't help it anymore when he looked at the messenger who fell off his horse. The sergeant had no fighting spirit to begin with, so he had to fight to the death. Once the sergeant knew that there was no way out, he would definitely burst into fighting spirit. No one was willing to wait.

Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Sun Chuanting actually issued an order to withdraw from the battle.

The deputy general of the Qin army looked up to the sky and roared.

"Evacuate, evacuate at this time, tell brothers how to evacuate..."

The sergeants around him hesitated a little. The deputy general of Qin Army looked at them, smiled miserably and spoke.

"Brothers, fight the enemy with all your might. We have no way out. You have all heard your orders. If you want to evacuate, I will not stop you..."

After saying that, the deputy general of the Qin army turned his horse's head, raised the spear in his hand, and charged towards the battle group.

The sergeants were stunned for a moment. Several sergeants followed the deputy general of the Qin army and rushed over to fight. There were two other sergeants who did not rush forward. They looked at the lifeless messenger lying on the ground, looked at each other again, and finally turned their horses.

Head, withdraw from the battle.
