"Report!"

A lieutenant rushed into the tent in a hurry.

"There are a large number of thieves appearing in the east, storm, covering the clouds and the sun..."

Suddenly, Wang Shi cheered up and bit the corner of his lips gently. He couldn't help but sneer.

He had figured out the way of the bandit army.

The purpose of harassing the army before was to make the army tired, but the next one should be a fierce battle.

These damn thieves!

Fortunately, he has never been greedy for merit and made a rash progress, but has tried his best to deal with the thief army. Otherwise, things might have gone to the worst.

"Report..."

Another captain hurriedly recorded: "Liu Qianhu came to report that the thief army attacked our army's food route..."

call……

And this time, Wang Shi could no longer calm down and his whole body was trembling. These rebels were simply hateful.

What is the food channel? This is the source of life on which the entire army relies.

That's it...

Wang Shi valued the food industry, so he almost drew out the most elite military horses to protect him, and released a large number of scouts. Once there was an enemy situation, he could immediately warn him.

But why...why are there thieves in your own rear?

His face turned pale, he looked at the captain who came to report fiercely, and gritted his teeth and asked, "Why is Zhang Guerrilla so careless? Where did the bandit army come from?"

"It's the chieftain Shuidong chieftain Liu Yanzhen!"

Wang Shi shuddered.

Shuidong Toast.

Not all chieftains in Guizhou joined the rebellion, and many chieftains served the court. Since Wang Shi took office, his first thing was to appease the chieftains and ordered those chieftains who were loyal to the court to lead troops to help the battle. The chieftains in Shuidong were deeply sinicized and changed to the Han surname very early, claiming to be the Han people.

Wang Shi has always been relieved to them, but he never expected that they would rebel.

At this critical moment, they turned against each other and... and the guerrilla general Zhang Jin were just responsible for the food route.

Wang Shi couldn't believe it.

How could Liu Yanzhen rebel?

How is that possible?

Over the years, several rebellions of chieftains, the chieftains of Shuidong have stood on the court without hesitation. They have never had any unfair intentions. They are examples of chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Wang Shi's eyes were red, his face turned blue, and he grabbed the desk with both hands. Once the food route was cut off, the thief army was in front of him. How could he fight? Without food, he would be dead. This is a complete end.

Tens of thousands of troops are here, and more than 10,000 civilians have been recruited. Could it be that all of them are ruined by themselves?

Suddenly, Wang Shi was shocked. He remembered something. It was two months ago. The chieftain of Shuidong was drinking with him.

At that time, everyone was drinking and talking happily. The chieftain Liu Yanzhen seemed a little drunk, but suddenly asked himself, "I don't know if the prince has heard of these things."

I didn't care at that time, just smiled and said to him, "It's just a rumor, how can I take it seriously?"

Then Liu Yanzhen... didn't mention it again.

Could it be...

Wang Shi suddenly opened his eyes, the capital... Such a confidential decision actually leaked the news, those idiots from the Ministry of War!

The transformation of land and return to the current is the fundamental interests of the chieftains. Then, it is not difficult to imagine that even the chieftains of Shuidong, who was most loyal to the court, brought their tribe members to counterattack.

"The Ministry of War must be the Ministry of War!" Wang Shi heard about this matter. In his heart, he also agreed to the transformation of the land and return to the flow. Whether it is the chieftain who is loyal to the court or the chieftain who is not loyal to the court, in fact, in his opinion, there is no difference. As long as the armed forces of these natives are still in the hands of private people, the court in Yunnan and Guizhou will have to be constrained by these chieftains. If you want to completely stabilize the southwest, you must transform the land and return to the flow.

Wang Shi couldn't help but shivered again.

He was so cautious and took every step forward. Even if he drove the troops here, he had no fault at all. He thought that even if the natives attacked, that would be nothing. As long as the Ming army guaranteed its own battle, any attack from the natives would be nothing but scratching the surface, but he still...

"Transfer the order, the back team will change the front team, and the back team will become the pioneer!" He took a deep breath, but he knew very well that only God would know how many people could return to Guiyang City alive.

As soon as he thought of this, a heavy sadness was blocked in his heart. Qian Yue died loyally, and he... I thought he must be a defeated general, can he still survive alone?

Let’s take the person back first, and as much as you can take back, the others... I’ll talk about it later.

"The thief army in the east attacked."

"Let Deputy General Deng Tong lead the front camp and tell him that if he is alive, his family will not want to live. If he does not fight until the last person, he must not take a step back!"

Wang Shi issued one order after another, and he had no intention of fighting the thief army that rushed in. The most important thing now is to take advantage of the last bit of food in the army to return to Guiyang as soon as possible. If one person can live, one person will live. Then, the front camp must be sacrificed, and the deputy general Deng Tong must also die in battle.

He issued a hideous order to make people prepare.

The shouts of killing everywhere made him feel confused. He hurriedly started writing this letter and wrote half of the memorial, roughly explaining the current dilemma, and finally concluded: "A province in Guizhou is only today. The villages and states around Guiyang will lose their lives. The old ministers will never dare to live alone in the world. I am willing to take their children back to Guiyang first, beg your Majesty to choose a good general. At that time, I will thank him for his death."

He took a deep breath, calmed down, handed the memorial to his personal guards, and asked someone to break out overnight, and ordered again.

"Try all my efforts to send Guiyang to tell them that if the army does not see me, they must not open the city gate and send one soldiers to support our army. Guiyang is the last glimmer of hope for the Ming Dynasty in Guizhou. No mistakes are allowed. Even if they are completely destroyed, Guiyang must not send troops to rescue them. Those who violate my order will be killed!"

If you can't send reinforcements, you can only rely on yourself. All the back camps may be destroyed. What you have won is only a little chance for the three armies to retreat. If you can't retreat, you will have to die. However, Guiyang has to keep them, and there are still many monks and lay people there. Once the city is broken, it will be doomed!

After all, they were shouting for killing, and the rebels seemed to have expected that the government army would do their best to retreat after the food was cut off.

But they didn't expect that the retreat of the government army was not just a large-scale defeat, but an alternating retreat of various battalions, which made the battle become extremely tragic.

The deputy general and his troops were surrounded by the bandits. Almost every moment, a large number of people died under the bow and arrow. They howled unwillingly, mixed with their last nostalgia in this world and roared.

Deng Tong already understood his destiny and must persevere until he died.

When the governor ordered him to cut off his rear, he knew that he had no other choice.

He is a veteran in Guizhou and has been stationed in Guizhou and inherited the military post of a thousand households. From then on, he has achieved today step by step with his military merits.

But all this came to an abrupt end.

"Damn it!" Deng Tong looked at the thief army everywhere on the mound, spitting.

"Hate only hate. Before leaving the city, I didn't spend more time on Xiao Taohong's belly..." He felt heartbroken, pulled out his knife and shouted loudly.

"Don't rush to shoot arrows, don't rush to shoot arrows. These rebel dogs are getting closer and shooting again. We are not robbing military merits now, and we will have no blessings to enjoy it if we rob it. We are dead today. We are here, the palace behind us, to buy time and give the army some vitality. If we can't defend it in the front, we retreat to the second line. If we can't defend it, we will continue to retreat. Don't rush to send your life out."

Then, he seemed to feel unwilling to accept it: "Damn it, Wang Shi, I'm your ancestor, why is the palace behind me?"

…………

The captain who was sent to the order hurried to Wang Shi's place where he was preparing to retreat.

"Report, Prince and Vice General Deng are determined to fight to the death. They will definitely protect the safety of the army and try their best to win time..."

Wang Shi focused his head, then his eyes fell on the captain and said lightly: "I told him, will I ask for credit for him?"

"I said it!" The shouting of killing was too loud, and there was noisy everywhere. The captain shouted: "He said don't forget..."

"What did you forget?" Facing a deputy general who was about to die in battle, although it was at the last moment, Wang Shi still wanted to carefully record the last instructions of the deputy general Deng, so he stared at the captain and asked word by word.

"He said that he could recite poems before he died..." The captain shouted hysterically: "He said that the personal soldiers around him could not escape, and that the poem could not be passed on, so he had to ask the prince to report it on behalf of Chen."

"What!" Wang Shi felt crazy and frowned. What? You are still in full bloom at this time.

"Loyalty is in the daytime, and he is dependent on Cang Hao... The deputy general told thousands of instructions, don't forget this matter, he will definitely think of it when he died in battle..."

“…”

"Retreat!" Wang Shi turned his horse on his back. This poem sounded familiar, as if... had been heard in an epitaph.

But now... he couldn't let him think too much. Retreat at this time is the important thing, and you can ignore everything else. Wang Shi took a deep breath, then looked back and looked back at the countless military horses, which were already fighting together. The surroundings of the mighty central army had already set off. Countless dejected military horses flowed continuously towards Guiyang, slowly moving forward.

Wang Shi looked up at the sky, and his heart was so heartbroken that he couldn't help but close his eyes. It was so secret that he should have thought that the damn Ministry of War must be unreliable. He was so cautious, but he was still negligent...

But this negligence was a life of thousands of people. Thinking of this, he felt that he could not breathe anymore. He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the melee place again, and finally gritted his teeth: "Go!"
