Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

r Among the three armies of Shaanxi, Baoding, and Huguang commanded by Sun Chuanting, except for Gao Jie who took over, the Shaanxi army's combat effectiveness has improved after strict training, ranking first, followed by Baoding commanded by Hu Dawei, and the weakest The Huguang Army under the command of Zuo Liangyu.

The Baoding Army and the Huguang Army may not be able to fight a tough battle at the risk of their lives, but with a favorable wind, each one's combat power exploded, at least several times more powerful than usual, killing the fleeing rebels until they lost their armor and fled.

The rebel army that was attacking was suddenly defeated. The dense soldiers fled towards the main formation in panic, followed by the equally dense army of officers and soldiers who roared to kill. Even if Li Zicheng was extremely capable, he could not save himself.

Retreat! Li Ziguo decisively gave the order to retreat and took the lead in galloping away.

He knew very well that when the defeated army arrived, the formation would be smashed to pieces. The officers and soldiers would take advantage of the situation and rush to kill him. At that time, it would not only be a rout, but even he might be dead. Retreating would be the wisest choice.

The vast battlefield was filled with fleeing rebels, followed by officers and soldiers who were shouting to kill them. Corpses in different shapes of death were everywhere on the ground. There were abandoned weapons, armor, battle flags and other items everywhere.

Although the defeated rebel soldiers fled desperately, they could not outrun the war horses. Many rebel soldiers were either trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the war horses or hacked to death with swords. Many of them knelt down and surrendered with their heads in their hands.

Those rebel soldiers who surrendered were poor people who had just joined the rebel army and participated in the battle for the first time. The veterans would rather die in battle than surrender, because they knew that the army had a bad habit of killing good people and taking credit for their merits. Surrendering was also death. It was better to fight to the death. , kill one to get enough money, double two to earn one.

Why doesn't General Xu lead his troops to pursue him?

On the high platform, Sun Chuanting grinned, stroking the long beard under his chin and asked with a smile. He had already thought about it. In this battle, even if the Royal First Regiment did not contribute half of its efforts and just stood aside to watch the fun, the credit must be shared. They have a share, and a little bit of the captured loot is also given to them, which is called hush money.

My current duty is to protect the safety of the Governor. Xu Yu bowed and replied. His face looked calm, but his heart was very depressed.

The battle is over, now you ask me to chase you, what about chasing a woolly thread? As for the trophies of abandoned battlefields, such as swords, guns, swords, armor, and even well-made matchlocks, he looked down upon them.

The First Royal Regiment was equipped with the latest Suifa guns. The matchlocks had long been eliminated and could only be used as fire sticks.

That's right, I almost forgot, haha. Sun Chuanting slapped his forehead, with an expression that if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten.

Although Xu Yu was too young, he was one of the emperor's favorite generals, and he commanded the strongest field army among the emperor's own armies, so he still deserved some respect.

He is an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows the ways of the officialdom. Hello, I am good, everyone is good, that is really good.

More than 300,000 elite troops all attacked. Except for the 500 soldiers left behind by Sun Chuanting, Xu Yu's Royal First Regiment was left standing still. Several groups of snipers who participated in the battle were returning to their formation.

Uh, Governor Sun, why don't those soldiers continue to chase the rebels? Xu Yu suddenly frowned and asked.

He was still observing the battlefield with a monocular telescope, but he saw that many soldiers did not continue to chase the fleeing rebels, but scrambled to pick up the trophies abandoned on the ground. Some even fought to snatch the trophies. What the hell is going on?

Everyone knows that it is better to pursue the poor bandits bravely than to be the overlord. Everyone knows this truth. The victorious officers and soldiers did not pursue the defeated rebels for a little loot. What if Li Zicheng reacted and gathered his troops to fight back again? manage?

These proud and powerful generals, I feel helpless sometimes... Sun Chuanting said with a bitter smile, with a helpless expression on his face, but his demeanor seemed relaxed.

He was a little annoyed, but he was also really helpless. The military officers in charge of each province were more arrogant than the other, and they were acting in an overly and covert manner. It was really difficult to control them.

If it weren't for the former chief officer of the Shaanxi Army, He Renlong, who was crazy about fighting and tricked the former governor Wang Qionian to death, which angered the emperor and issued a secret order to chop off his head, otherwise, even the Shaanxi Army would have been difficult to lead.

However, he felt really relaxed. Li Zicheng was defeated miserably and it was too late to escape. How dare he come back and die?
