Chapter 603: The Thieves Flee, and the Difficulty of Ancient Cave Exploration

Zhang Sheng and Di Sanpin were surprised at first after hearing Sun Kewang's words, and then suddenly realized.

They just said, with Sun Kewang's personality, how could he have to stay in Guangxi for a tough battle with the Ming army when there is little chance of winning against the Ming army?

It turned out that the words "to defend against the danger and fight with the Ming army" just now were just for most people to hear.

Sun Kewang actually has other plans.

At this time, Sun Kewang took out a rather sloppy, old map and pointed to it and said, "It's hard for us to go to Yunnan, but we can try to go south through Zhen'an Prefecture and to Sushunzhou to Vietnam.

After leaving the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army will definitely not chase me and wait.

I have also inquired about the situation in Vietnam. Although it is abroad, many of the scenery is similar to that in the Ming Dynasty.

We have the control of the troops and are not afraid of being unable to get out of the way. If it really doesn't work, we will be upside down in Vietnam just like the Ming Dynasty in the past!”

Sun Kewang's words were quite fascinating. Zhang Sheng said, Di Sanpin stretched his eyebrows and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Sheng asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"

Sun Kewang said: "You two lead an elite army and go south from Sicheng Prefecture to find a way out first. Remember, try not to let the local chieftain know your identities.

After exploring the road, I waited near Nanpanjiang to pick me up. I looked at it, it was here on the map."

What Sun Kewang refers to on the map is the Baise of later generations. However, now there is not even a serious name on the map, only the gathering of people.

"Abide by the order!"

Hearing the two of them responded, Sun Kewang said just in case, "This is just a precaution - what I said to everyone before is true. With the help of the geographical advantage, we will fight against the Ming army.

There is certainly possibility.

If we can really repel the Ming army, we will naturally not have to run away. In order to avoid the shaking of the army's morale, you must be secretive in your actions. Do you know?"

"knew!"

Because it was a way of exploring the way, Sun Kewang did not give the two men too many soldiers, and only allocated a thousand elite soldiers, so he asked them to leave with the other teams that had left the old camp.

···

Three days later, the Ming army in Guangxi launched a full-scale attack on Sun Kewang's troops.

Li Dingguo and Yang Guodong each led a border defense army as the main force, and the four towns Guangxi garrisons as the flanks, and pushed directly from Huaiyuan Town and Fulu Town to the northwest.

The chieftain soldiers with a population of up to 40,000 to 50,000 will follow the main force to find a bargain or clear out some remaining bandits.

Guangxi has many dangerous mountains and rivers, and some cities and fortresses are also very dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, the Ming army's artillery, grenades and even explosive blasting methods made these dangerous forts look like those of Paper Lake.

After the war began, the bandits of Sun Kewang's troops were almost at a loss and saw a thousand miles away.

The supervisory team couldn't stop him.

In this case, even if Sun Kewang leads his troops, he may not be able to control the situation and change the situation even if he replaces Li Dingguo.

Therefore, Sun Kewang had no choice but to escape.

When he fled to the ancient cave of Zhuzhigu, Sicheng Prefecture, he had only more than 10,000 people left by his side, and less than 3,000 elite soldiers. The food, grass and supplies that were not large were almost lost, but everyone still brought the gold, silver and treasures he had robbed in the past.

Something happened - after all, this thing is easier to carry.

Such a miserable scene can be said to make Sun Kewang cry without tears.

"King, the Ming army will probably chase this place in a day. What should we do now?" After resting in the ancient cave, a group of generals came to Sun Kewang to ask for countermeasures.

It is worth mentioning that because of the great escape that was about to collapse, almost all the main generals under Sun Kewang were alive. A few people were not there, so they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty court.

These people were brought out by Zhang Xianzhong's past struggles to Shaanxi, Central Plains, Huguang, Sichuan and other places. Some of them were older, and even experienced the miserable situation where Zhang Xianzhong was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army and only more than 1,000 people were left.

Therefore, most of these generals did not feel that they were in a dead end.

Even if they really reach a dead end, they are just generals of the Great Western Conference, not King of the Great Western Conference. They can surrender to the court and become prisoners at the most, and they don’t have to resist stubbornly until death.

They heard that the court did not kill prisoners from bandits, but would transform them.

If they don't do it well, they can still turn into an official army.

Sun Kewang looked at the remaining people, mainly three veterans who had become governors or generals during the Zhang Xianzhong period, Wang Ziqi, Wang Xun, and Guan Youcai.

Then there were some generals who emerged later, such as Zhang Mingzhi, Zhang Hu, He Jiuyi, Yu Dafeng, Cheng Wanli, Li Ding, Li Shun, etc.

After hearing the messy sounds of the defeated soldiers outside, a cold light flashed in Sun Kewang's eyes and said, "We can't escape with these defeated soldiers outside. Now we can only lead a few elite soldiers away."

Wang Ziqi said: "What the king said makes sense, but the question is, even if we only bring a few elite soldiers, where can we go?"

Android and Apple are available.】

"Before the war started, I had already let Zhang Sheng and Di Sanpin go south to Zhen'an Prefecture and surrender to Shunzhou to explore the way..." Sun Kewang immediately said the way he left behind.

Since he wanted to take the elite soldiers away, these generals must also take them away. There were enough generals and a certain number of elite soldiers, so his team could grow rapidly after going to Vietnam.

So, at this time, there was no need to hide what he did a few days ago.

All the generals couldn't help but realize it after hearing this.

They said why they didn't see Zhang Sheng and Di San in the previous battle. Some people thought they had surrendered to the court secretly, but they didn't expect that they were sent by Sun Kewang to explore the way.

After everyone reacted for a while, Sun Kewang said again: "Although they have not sent any reply, they must have gained something.

Even if we don’t have it, we can still reach Vietnam with three thousand elite soldiers!”

After listening, the generals exchanged their eyes and nodded.

Although some people are worried about going abroad, they are even more worried about surrendering to the court.

Moreover, it is not enough to just surrender to the court. Maybe it is not necessary to be killed by Sun Kewang and others just after the signs appear.

For all considerations, all the generals finally agreed to escape to Vietnam.

In order to successfully separate the elite troops and the defeated troops with the majority of the troops, Sun Kewang ordered the plunder of Gukan Cave.

Although this place is just a small town, and is hard to compare with the cities in bustling areas, it is a city after all, with tens of thousands of people living in it.

As soon as the defeated soldiers robbed, they lost control and quickly turned into burning, killing, looting.

Soon night came, and fire, smoke and screams enveloped the entire Gukandong City, making it like hell on earth.

Sun Kewang took this opportunity to leave quietly with nearly 3,000 elite soldiers, without any sympathy or nostalgia for this small town...

The next morning, Xu You arrived here with the troops of the 19th Town of the Border Defense Army.

At this time, the burning, killing and looting in the small town had ended. Most of the defeated soldiers fled in scattered areas, and a small number died in the city. After all, the residents of Gukandong were mostly natives, and ordinary people were also fierce.

We will not let the defeated soldiers rob and slaughter them.

There are also a very small number of defeated soldiers who are still wandering around the city, looking for treasures or continuing to release their desire to kill.

Although Xu You also came from the Great Western Army and had seen many scenes that were worse than this, after the past two years of "military ideological education", his ideas have changed a lot.

Although there were many natives in Gukandong and he had never known these people, he still couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw the city full of corpses, fireworks everywhere, and blood flowing into a stream.

"Sun Kewang this beast!"

"General, what should I do now?" asked a Qiang General.
