The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 702 Betrayal
Under the powerful offensive of the official army, Zhang Xianzhong had already started to retreat at this time.But he, who has experienced many battles, naturally knows that if the army withdraws at this time, the official army will definitely follow behind and take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, then there will really be countless casualties.

He didn't care how many people died, he only cared about whether he and his direct descendants could escape.As long as these direct descendants are still there, he has the possibility of making a comeback.

Zhang Xianzhong is very clear that the biggest casualties in every battle come from the retreat.So even if he wants to retreat, he must make arrangements. It is best to have a general lead someone to block the army, so that he can retreat into the city calmly.

Before leaving the city, he had ordered Sun Kewang to arrest all the people in the city. Once the officers and soldiers broke their promise and started attacking the city, he would use the lives of these people to blackmail the officers and soldiers.

This is also the back road he left for himself.

At this time, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the momentum of the great victory and launched a fierce counterattack. The artillery roared and the projectiles flew across. Cheese is generally easily cut open, then surrounded and annihilated.

The position of the Dashun Army is rapidly shrinking at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye. All the previous formations of the Dashun Army have basically collapsed, and the Daxi Army is everywhere.

However, the officers and soldiers continued to move forward, and the routs of the Great Western Army who ran to the edge were forced back into the formation by the cavalry of the officers and soldiers on the periphery, using their chaos to attack the main formation of the Great Western Army.

At this time, the only two troops that still maintain a complete organizational system and morale are available are the troops led by Li Dingguo and the imperial guards who protect Zhang Xianzhong. This is the root of Zhang Xianzhong's fortune.Of course, as well as Sun Kewang's troops in the city.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong was struggling and hesitating, he galloped to the banner of the Chinese Army, rolled his saddle off his horse and said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Li said that the army is powerful and invincible. Your Majesty, please take the imperial guards back to the city first." , General Li will lead people to stop the army, please don't hesitate, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that Li Dingguo said that he wanted to be the queen for him and let him retreat, Zhang Xianzhong was greatly moved, and said loudly: "Dingguo, my son is filial, and I remember it in my heart. After the officers and soldiers retreat, I will make him king to show his respect. My son is filial."

After speaking, he immediately ordered the imperial guards to retreat, and he got off the cloud cart and mounted his horse to retreat towards the city under the protection of the imperial guards.

Zhang Xianzhong looked back while fleeing, and saw Li Dingguo's banner rushing towards the officers and soldiers who were chasing him from a distance. people.

If he could have a look before the battle between the two armies at this time, he would definitely fall off his horse in anger.

From a distance, the battle between Li Dingguo's men and the officers and soldiers is extremely fierce, but the actual situation is that the knives and guns in the hands of Li Dingguo's men and horses are dancing against the air, while the muskets in the hands of the officers and soldiers are also firing towards the sky, and the soldiers on both sides are screaming hoarsely Yelling and yelling created the momentum of a fierce battle.

The agreement between the two parties was that Li Dingguo's troops would not be attacked by the officers and soldiers, and they would cooperate with him in a play.

Zhang Xianzhong fled to the city with his imperial guards, but when he got to the bottom of the city, he found that the city gate was closed tightly, and the defenders on the top of the city refused to open the door for them.

An officer of the Imperial Guard stepped forward to call for the door, but was shot to death on the spot by an arrow from the city.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious and rushed to the city to curse at him personally, and asked Sun Kewang to come out to see him.

Although the defenders in the city were determined to rebel, facing Zhang Xianzhong, the murderous demon king, the emperor of Daxi Kingdom, was still timid and afraid to face him, so he had to invite Sun Kewang.

To be honest, Sun Kewang liked Zhang Xianzhong's death on the battlefield very much, but at this moment he had to face Zhang Xianzhong.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.Although Zhang Xianzhong was brutal and easy to kill, he was the one who brought him out, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and asked him to face Zhang Xianzhong as a rebel, which made him feel very awkward.

But if he doesn't show up at this time, the guards on the top of the city will not be able to bear Zhang Xianzhong's pressure, and I am afraid that something bad will happen, so they have to bite the bullet and appear on the top of the city.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong still didn't believe that Sun Kewang had two intentions, and only thought that the soldiers below made their own decisions.

"Sun Kewang, hurry up and open the city gate for me. Those disobedient bastards just now will be chopped up by me later." Zhang Xianzhong yelled on his horse.

"Your Majesty, this city gate cannot be opened. The Great West Army is finished, and the Great West Country is also finished. I have followed you for so many years and made countless contributions to you, so I am worthy of you. Now I have to think for myself, I have dedicated this city to the imperial court, and I am now a member of the imperial court. Because of our friendship for so many years, you should run for your life. Otherwise, the official army will come soon, and you will not be able to escape even if you want to. .”

Sun Kewang stood on the city wall and shouted loudly.

His words stunned the imperial guards below. No one would have thought that Sun Kewang, one of the two most trusted generals of His Majesty, would rebel, and he rebelled so confidently. They all looked at each other and started talking buzzingly.

Of course Zhang Xianzhong was the one who was hit the hardest. He was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses. He was furious, snatched the bow and arrow from a soldier next to him, and shot it at the top of the city.

Zhang Xianzhong's riding and archery skills are very good, although he is old, but this arrow shot with anger is extraordinary, the speed is astonishingly fast.

Sun Kewang was already guarding against his arrows when he was speaking, and when he saw his movements, he immediately ducked down and hid behind the crenel.

Zhang Xianzhong's arrow whizzed upwards, carrying great force, it missed Sun Kewang, but hit the face of a soldier behind him.

Zhang Xianzhong became furious when he missed the shot, and screamed wildly to make the imperial guards shoot arrows towards the top of the city.

The arrows of the imperial guards also attracted a counterattack from the top of the city. Arrows rained down between the two sides. Sun Kewang's side occupied a favorable position and was condescending.

After exiting the attack range of the city, Sun Kewang didn't send anyone to chase after him. Zhang Xianzhong stopped, feeling annoyed and dazed at the same time. After a while, he was so angry that he wished he could go back to the city and kill everyone in the city. Killed to vent anger.

For a while, I was at a loss again, not knowing where to go at this time.

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "Your Majesty, those are General Li's men, General Li is here, we are saved."

Zhang Xianzhong turned around to look, and saw dust everywhere in the distance, horseshoes bursting, and a large group of horses and horses were rushing towards him. The first big flag had a big "Li" character on it.

"It is my son Dingguo. It seems that he actually blocked the officers and soldiers. He is worthy of being my confidant. With Dingguo's help, he will definitely break the city and kill Sun Kewang, a bastard." Zhang Xianzhong was furious. After seeing Li Dingguo's banner, he got better instantly.

He had hope again.
