Please ask me to be the emperor

As the saying goes, "a trapped beast still fights". Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu, and Ma Fengyi are all veteran generals. Naturally, they know that the only way to survive is to fight to the death.

Nowadays, there is a stronghold for thieves and bandits to the west, and Huixian County to the east has been occupied by rogue bandits. The officers and soldiers are being attacked from both front and rear.

Going south is Wei Cao, and going north is Taihang. Where should we go?

Deng Qi thought briefly and ordered his officers and soldiers to resist steadily and retreat to the north of the Taihang Mountains one by one.

It is impossible to cross from the east to the west, and there is no boat to cross between the canals in the south. Only the Taihang Mountains are dangerous and the terrain is advantageous. It can not only take the opportunity to avoid the pursuit of thieves, but also use favorable terrain for defense.

The formation of officers and soldiers was originally composed of Ma Fengyi Tusi soldiers, Zuo Liangyu Changping army and Tang Jiuzhou Changping army from north to south, with Deng Qi leading the Chinese army behind.

As a result, Chieftain Ma Fengyi was transferred to the rear to resist Zhang Shun and others. The vacancy left by Ma Fengyi was filled by the Chinese army led by Deng Qi.

Therefore, for this retreat, it is most convenient for Deng Qi to be in the north, followed by Zuo Liangyu, and Ma Fengyi, who is good at fighting with soldiers and horses, can fight and retreat at the same time. Only the quality of Tang Jiuzhou's soldiers was lower than that of other generals, and the general's mind was not firm enough.

Seeing the officers and soldiers retreating, Tang Jiuzhou's soldiers were terrified. They had heard the call of the rebels and were doubtful about what the rebels said: "The entire army of officers and soldiers' reinforcements was wiped out, Huixian was destroyed, and all their food and grass were lost." Now the officers and soldiers are being attacked from both sides and cannot win. Now that they are retreating, they only think that the officers and soldiers were defeated, and what the rebels said is of course true.

Suddenly the morale of the army was shaken, for fear of being cut off by the rebels and blocked in the camp, unable to escape. Then they dispersed and took the lead in desperately fleeing to the north. It didn't matter that Tang Jiuzhou's Changping Army fled. Even the Changping Army under Zuo Liangyu thought that the officers and soldiers were defeated, so they also fled.

Suddenly, the army was defeated like a mountain falling, and the army was defeated like a mountain collapsing. Once morale collapses, Deng Qi, even as a veteran general, cannot stop him. He angrily killed several deserters with his own hands, and then ordered his personal guards: "Whenever you turn around, regardless of generals, shoot and kill!"

His personal guards killed more than a dozen people in a row before stopping the defeat of his Sichuan troops. It was just the Changping Army of Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou and others, but he was beyond his reach, so he had to watch them go north in chaos.

But the only consoling thing is that Ma Fengyi, the most skilled warrior among the four troops, is still in formation and has not collapsed.

Ma Fengyi was actually in trouble at this time and had to face support. It turned out that Zhang Shun's cavalry and artillery skills were very powerful. She was in a dilemma, and she was at a disadvantage in both offense and defense. She had no temper at all.

If we defend, we can only passively accept the artillery fire; if we attack, we can only attack the formation of more than ten thousand soldiers with thousands of soldiers; if we flee, we will face the flanking attack of the "King Zuo Jin" and "Grey Eyes" cavalry in the rebel army.

Now that the officers and soldiers were defeated, how could Ma Fengyi not know the danger? She couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Will the bloody battle at Hunhe River happen to me again? Since ancient times, my Shizhu Ma family has had generals die in battle and no ministers have escaped!"

After saying this, she just took her Shizhu chieftain soldiers to fight and retreat towards the Sichuan soldiers, intending to join Deng Qi's tribe. Zhang Shun was willing to comply, but he just ordered "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan" to stick to each other, trying to prevent her from getting away.

At this time, when the rebels to the west saw that the officers and soldiers were defeated, they couldn't help but take up the spirit of beating the drowned dog. They swarmed up one after another, chased and killed the deserting officers and soldiers, and seized the officers and soldiers' baggage.

Zhang Sanbai quickly ordered a stop to this disregard for military discipline and tried to reorganize the team. But these people are originally rebellious people. How can they be willing to obey orders honestly?

In this way, the officers and soldiers were in chaos, and the rebel army followed suit, and even disrupted Zhang Shun's plan to hold back the Shizhu chieftain soldiers. Deng Qichuan's soldiers and Ma Fengyi's chieftain's soldiers took advantage of the situation and retreated to one place, resisting the rebels' charge back to back.

Use military methods to control and fight chaos, and you will be victorious in all situations. The rebels chased forward in a chaotic manner, but it was easy to deal with the frightened officers and soldiers. Once they encountered the Sichuan soldiers and Tusi soldiers who were in neat formations and had strict orders, they immediately suffered a big loss. Instead, they were driven back by the combined efforts of Deng Qi and Ma Fengyi. Chased for more than a hundred steps.

Fortunately, Zhang Sanbai has been following Zhang Shun for a long time, and like Zhang Shun's style of "don't be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat", he still keeps the formation intact.

So Zhang Sanbai and the "Nine Dragons" and "Broken Armor Cone" and other three rebel armies merged into one place and killed the broken troops rushing towards his formation, so that they could withstand the Sichuan soldiers' attack. And over there, Ma Fengyi's chieftain soldiers were entangled by Zhang Shun's "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan".

It was only then that Deng Qi suddenly discovered that at some point, General Tao Xiqian also led the cavalry and fled at the lead.

Deng Qi thought for a moment and then laughed at his wishful thinking. The cavalry under Tao Xiqian's command was also part of the Changping Army. Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou, the main forces of the Changping Army, had already fled. So how could he and others, He De, be able to keep this unit?

After thinking about this, Deng Qi had already seen the strength of the rebels after repeated battles with the rebels. He then led his army over and met up with Chief Ma Fengyi's soldiers.

Then, Deng Qi said to Ma Fengyi: "I already know the truth and falsehood of the thieves. Although the thieves are powerful, the actual number of soldiers they can use is only four or five thousand. The rest are either with different intentions or just a mob. You and I are united. Together, there are seven thousand. No matter how many calculations he makes, he can't swallow you and me! If we work together to fight to the death, there is still a glimmer of hope!"

Ma Fengyi was attacked by artillery many times, but she had a clearer understanding of the strength of the enemy and ourselves than Deng Qi. She just smiled bitterly and said: "Today the only thing is to die in battle. The reputation of my stone pillar chieftain and white pole soldier must not be weakened!"

After saying that, the two of them fought and retreated, almost trying to escape.

Zhang Shun saw it from a distance and couldn't help but frowned, and immediately ordered "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan" to rush forward at all costs, harass their formation and slow down the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

At the same time, he personally led Wukong, Wang Jinyi and his two hundred personal guards to go straight to find the other rebel commanders.

The first thing Zhang Shun found was the "Eight Kings". After he saw the "Eight Kings" with a look of disgrace on his face, he didn't give him any help at all. He just cursed: "Shuzi, my work of more than a month has been almost destroyed in one day! If you don't help me to rectify the troops, you will bite the bullet." Officers and soldiers? Do we have to wait until Deng Qi and others reorganize their troops and make a comeback?"

The "Eight Great Kings" knew that they were in the wrong, and were afraid that Wukong and Wang Jinyi were around Zhang Shun. They were afraid that he would kill them on the spot as soon as he gave the order, so they had no choice but to accept the order.

Zhang Shun's anger has nowhere to spread, how can he show mercy to these people who are so unjust for profit? In turn, he found "Living Cao Cao" and "The King of Troubled Times" and cursed them, and finally he finally subdued this group of rebellious people.

Zhang Shun finished reorganizing the rebel army, and the pressure on Deng Qi and Ma Fengyi suddenly increased. On the one hand, they were entangled by the cavalry of "King Zuojin" and "Ge Liyan". They did not dare to move easily for fear of exposing their flaws and being exploited by the cavalry.

On the other side, Zhang Shun convinced the generals, organized his troops again, and pressed forward again.

Deng Qi and Ma Fengyi looked up and saw that the darkness behind them and on their left and right were all bandits, and they couldn't escape.

The two had no choice but to retreat slightly and find a higher hill as a defensive place.

Under the command of Zhang Shun, the rebel armies immediately surrounded these officers and soldiers, trying to annihilate them all.

The rebels did not believe in evil and were impatient with Zhang Shun's dispatch of artillery, so they swarmed forward and charged forward. As a result, the officers and soldiers were on the verge of death, so why were they unwilling to fight to the death?

The rebel army was repulsed by the officers and soldiers two or three times. Also, because of the hook shot of the Shizhu Chieftain, many people were hooked in during the retreat, resulting in heavy casualties.

At this time, Song Xiance also rushed over. When he saw the situation, he said to Zhang Shun: "My lord, it is only right to surround three towers. Otherwise, the officers and soldiers will definitely fight to the death if they know they will die!"

Zhang Shun laughed when he heard this: "How could I not know? I'm just waiting for the artillery!"

Wow, three consecutive chapters have been changed. The author really didn't expect that he had forgotten the plot he set before, and now he has changed it!
