When Li Zicheng was desperately retreating with the army, Niu Jinxing, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"King Chuang, don't evacuate the army for the time being..."

Li Zicheng, who was filled with grief and anger in his heart, looked at Niu Jinxing and almost roared.

"If you don't withdraw, why? Do you still have to wait for Sun Chuanting to pounce? Do you have to wait until all the sergeants in the old camp are defeated..."

The look on Niu Jinxing's face was quite firm. He looked at Li Zicheng and spoke word by word.

"King Chuang, the Art of War cloud, is full of energy, then weakens, and then is exhausted. You have also seen that the officers and soldiers are charging with great momentum. If their momentum continues, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. However, now we

Withdrew from the battle, their momentum has weakened. The fighting just lasted for nearly three hours, and their physical strength was extremely exhausted. My old battalion cavalry and elite cavalry have not yet consumed much physical strength. At this time, we launched a counterattack

Their counterattack will definitely win..."

Li Zicheng shook his head.

"Niu Jinxing, you are a scholar and rarely participate in battles. The momentum of the officers and soldiers just now cannot be eliminated in a short time. If we launch an attack at this time and arouse their stronger fighting spirit, then we will not

We thought about evacuating calmly. Besides, our losses from the fighting just now were too great and we cannot withstand another struggle..."

Li Zicheng's words were very gentle, but the underlying meaning was very sharp. The implication was to keep Niu Jinxing from getting involved in the fighting. In other words, if these words were spoken by Zhang Dongtao, Li Zicheng would take them seriously.

Think carefully.

Niu Jinxing did not give up, nor did he care about the meaning of Li Zicheng's words.

"King Chuang, I just asked the sergeants to throw away food and money, just to let the officers and soldiers snatch the food and money. Once their attention is focused on the food and money, they will completely lose their vigilance and will not think about it.

Fighting again, we take this opportunity to launch a counterattack, and we will be able to completely defeat the army."

"As long as we defeat Sun Chuanting and his army, we can completely control the Central Plains. King Chuang, I think the Qin army and the Yansui border army are strong. If we fight them head-on in the future, we will not have much chance of winning.

So we must seize every opportunity, and now is the best opportunity."

"King Chuang, we must not lose such a great opportunity..."

Li Zicheng finally pulled the reins and looked back at Niu Jinxing.

"Niu Jinxing, why do you think the army will focus all their attention on food and money?"

Niu Jinxing's face, which turned pale with anxiety, finally showed a trace of rosy color.

"King Chuang, Sun Chuanting led the army to attack thousands of miles and fight deep in Henan. The sergeants under his command did not have enough food and grass, let alone money. Now that they have won the battle, they think that we have evacuated far away, so

Under the circumstances, there is food and money on the ground, how could the officers and soldiers let it go? Once they focus on money and food, our opportunity will come."

"King Chuang, I still remember that when Deputy General Zhang led the rebel army to defeat the Liaodong Frontier Army, he also threw a lot of money on the ground. The sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army focused all their attention on food and money. As a result, they were

Our rebel army was defeated..."

Li Zicheng was finally moved. Back then, the Liaodong Frontier Army rushed to aid Shaanxi and the rebels occupied Hanzhong. As a result, the Liaodong Frontier Army, led by Wu Xiang, entered Hanzhong to fight. At that time, the Liaodong Frontier Army was the nemesis of the Rebel Army, but Zhang Dongtao led the Rebel Sgt.

, defeated the Liaodong frontier army.

The situation this time is very similar, and in terms of combat effectiveness, the Qin Army and the Yansui Frontier Army can never be stronger than the Liaodong Frontier Army. In other words, the opportunity that Niu Jinxing thinks does exist.

Li Zicheng finally stopped and asked the messenger next to him to call Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin rode over, but before he could stop completely, Li Zicheng spoke.

"Liu Zongmin, lead the old camp cavalry to fight back. Do you have the confidence?"

Liu Zongmin's face was not very good. Today's battle was the most breathless he had ever fought. The rebels never launched a real attack at all. They were always suppressed by the army and were eventually forced to evacuate. Not only did they lose troops, their morale was also low.

All those who were beaten were gone.

Suddenly hearing Li Zicheng say this, Liu Zongmin was slightly stunned and immediately straightened his body.

"King Chuang, I am confident that I can defeat the army..."

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, Niu Jinxing looked at Li Zicheng and immediately spoke.

"King Chuang, as the saying goes, a sad soldier will win. In the battle just now, we have been suppressed and beaten by the officers and soldiers. The sergeants are holding back their breath. Now that we launch a counterattack, the sergeants will definitely try their best to hit the officers hard.

military..."

Niu Jinxing figured out what Li Zicheng was thinking. Although Liu Zongmin made a straightforward statement, Li Zicheng still had doubts in his heart and had not yet decided whether to order the army to fight back. Niu Jinxing's additional words made Li Zicheng firm up his determination.

"Niu Jinxing, you lead all the cavalry in the old camp, make some repairs, and immediately launch an attack on the official army..."

While Li Zicheng was speaking, Niu Jinxing coughed several times.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin both felt strange that Niu Jinxing had always been in good health, so why was he coughing now?

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping his mouth, Niu Jinxing looked at Liu Zongmin and spoke.

"General Liu, King Chuang wants you to organize the cavalry from the old camp to launch a counterattack. However, the army has just experienced a brutal fight. I don't know if it will be able to fight again for a while..."

Before Niu Jinxing finished speaking, Liu Zongmin's expression changed.

"Mr. Niu, what are you talking about? I will immediately organize the sergeants of the old camp to launch a counterattack. We don't need to repair..."

Li Zicheng understood what Niu Jinxing meant and turned to look at Niu Jinxing without speaking.

Seeing that Li Zicheng had no instructions, Liu Zongmin turned his horse's head and headed towards the rear of the team...

...

The sergeants of Xuanfu, Datong and Shaanxi Guards Station first put down their weapons and began to pick up the food and money on the ground. The sergeants of Qin Army and Yansui Border Army were still watching, waiting for orders from above, and saw many people.

The sergeants began to pick up the food and money on the ground. No one said anything to stop them. They also put down their weapons and bent down to pick up the food and money.

The cavalry was the last to join.

For a moment, no one even paid special attention to the prisoners kneeling aside. Everyone went to pick up the food and money on the ground.

The distance the food and money were thrown was a bit long, so the team quickly spread out.

Sun Chuanting had returned to the temporary Chinese military tent and did not pay attention to everything on the battlefield.

The Qin Army's deputy general, Yansui Commander-in-Chief, Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief and Datong Commander-in-Chief all entered the temporary Chinese military tent one after another with smiles on their faces, and also did not pay attention to everything on the battlefield.

Sun Chuanting looked at everyone and spoke with a sense of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work in today's battle. We defeated Li Zicheng and can return to Shaanxi calmly. I am considering whether to continue attacking the rogue bandits stationed in Tongguan. The rogue bandits who resisted desperately before were thinking that Li Zicheng would rush to help immediately.

, now that they have no reinforcements, they have no fighting capacity..."

The deputy general of the Qin army and the commander-in-chief of Yansui did not speak. After all, they led the army to attack Tongguan and failed to win.

The person who spoke was the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, and he clasped his fists at Sun Chuanting.

"Sir, I think we can attack Tongguan again. As long as we defeat the bandits stationed at Tongguan, Li Zicheng will never dare to enter Shaanxi to fight..."

Sun Chuanting probably did not expect that the first person to speak was actually the chief military officer of the Xuanfu.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Chuanting nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, we have decided like this. You will immediately lead the sergeants to clean up the battlefield. You know what to do with those surrendered bandits. We will spend the day repairing today. Early tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack on Tongguan. We must capture it.

Tongguan, destroy the rogue bandits stationed in Tongguan..."

Before Sun Chuanting finished speaking, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves outside.

"Sir, sir, it's not good, the bandits are back..."

Huge shouts came from the direction of the battlefield.

A sneer flashed across Sun Chuanting's face.

"Okay, Li Zicheng is really brave. I didn't think about killing them all, but he is not convinced. You go to command the army immediately and fight against the bandits. This time, we must not let Li Zicheng go..."

...

A few minutes later, the deputy general of the Qin Army came to the temporary central military tent with a defeated look on his face.

"Sir, please evacuate quickly. The bandits' attack is very strong. Brother, my brothers can't stand it any longer..."

Sun Chuanting's face turned pale all of a sudden. Less than half an hour after the previous fight ended, he had taken all the advantages and the bandits had no power to fight back. Why did the situation suddenly turn around?

"Nonsense, how could such a situation happen?"

"Sir, sir, the bandits threw away a lot of food and money. The sergeants were busy picking up the food and money on the ground. They didn't expect that the bandits would suddenly counterattack. They had no time to resist and could only evacuate quickly. Sir, you don't want to

You've wasted time, evacuate immediately..."

...

No one believed the scene on the battlefield. The cavalry from the old battalion came out in full force. The officers and soldiers had no time to resist and could only flee desperately. Some people still held money in their hands when they fled.

The morale of the officers and soldiers had long been spent on food and money. Even if they picked up weapons at this moment, they could not resist the menacing cavalry of the old camp. Many sergeants had no time to mount their horses and were chopped down to the ground by steel knives.

The soldiers who had kneeled down to surrender now stood up, picked up the weapons on the ground, and joined the fighting group.

The battle situation reversed so quickly that the officers and soldiers who had previously had the upper hand became desperate dogs and fled desperately. However, they never imagined that Li Zicheng would not let go of the opportunity to pursue.
