Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 983 Luzhou Pingding

Chapter 983 Luzhou Pingding
The general who was killed was Li Dingguo. As the leader of the four kings, Sun Kewang knew his brother very well.He is definitely not Li Dingguo's opponent in leading troops to fight. When Zhang Xianzhong was still there, Li Dingguo was often in the limelight, which made him jealous.

No matter how the Ming army entered the South City, Li Dingguo killed the West City, this matter was already certain, and Sun Kewang instinctively retreated.

Li Dingguo also saw Sun Kewang, and when he saw him fleeing, he immediately shouted: "Sun Kewang, if you don't surrender at this time, you will regret it!"

After all, they were both Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons and fought side by side for many years. Li Dingguo still hoped that Sun Kewang would change his mind and join him as a minister.

The Ming army in Xicheng had already begun to climb the city wall, and Sun Kewang's elite were trapped in Xicheng.At this time, the Ming army entered the city from the south gate, led by Li Dingguo, and Luzhou could no longer be defended. Sun Kewang heard Li Dingguo's shout and ignored it.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo yelled, took the bow and arrow from the soldiers, and was going to shoot Sun Kewang in the back, but hesitated, and aimed the arrow at his thigh.

Except for a little hesitation when aiming, Li Dingguo's whole movement was almost done in one go. Sun Kewang just got down from the top of the city and was about to enter the street when he suddenly felt a sharp pain. A sharp arrow hit his thigh, and he immediately fell to the ground with a thump.

Li Dingguo took away the bow and arrow, threw it to the guards, and said anxiously: "Chasing! Don't leave Sun Kewang!"

On the top of the wall, seeing the scene just now, Ma Jinzhong felt remorse in his heart. He didn't expect that it was Sun Kewang who went down the wall just now. However, due to the chaos in the south city, the shouts of the Ming army entering the city affected the defenders in the west city. Many people saw that Sun Kewang retreated and knew that they could not hold it.

Li Dingguo picked up his big gun again, and led his troops to chase after Sun Kewang. Sun Kewang's hundreds of relatives saw that the situation was critical, and Zhang Sheng, a veteran of the Western Army, immediately carried Sun Kewang on his back.

Another general of the Western Army, Wang Ziqi, led hundreds of soldiers to block the street to cover Sun Kewang's escape.Li Dingguo caught up with him and fought with him. After saying that the surrender was unsuccessful, he fought for several rounds and stabbed Wang Ziqi to death with one shot, killing hundreds of Western troops, but there was no trace of Sun Kewang.

As the Ming army entered the city from the south gate and attacked the west city from the rear, the defenders on the city were flanked by the Ming army on both sides.

Bai Wenxuan saw that the Ming army kept going to the city, and the Western army was killed and retreated steadily, so he shouted anxiously, "Hold on, don't retreat!"

He was commanding with a knife, but the soldiers kept retreating. At this moment, a flag officer ran up the city wall against the crowd, found Bai Wenxuan, and said anxiously: "Commander, the city has fallen, the king told the commander to hurry up!" Retreat from the north gate!"

Bai Wenxuan was shocked, his face was gloomy, "Go to the north gate? Where's the king?"

"Your Majesty is injured and has already arrived at the North Gate. The boats are ready and we are waiting for the commander!"

Hearing the words of the chess and card officer, Bai Wenxuan did not reply immediately, but looked around at the soldiers of the Western Army who were still fighting at the top of the city and the already chaotic Luzhou City, and suddenly sighed: "You tell the king, the brothers in the city need more help." Someone will take care of me, I will cover the retreat, let the king go."

Once Luzhou was defeated, the Western Army forces could be said to have withdrawn from the political arena. Sun Kewang didn't have much to go on. He broke through from Beicheng, and most of the time he wanted to join Hauge. Bai Wenxuan couldn't accept this. The country might as well surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

After Bai Wenxuan finished speaking, he continued to direct the troops to fight. The chess officer had no choice but to go down to the city. The horses left behind the city were ridden away by some bird, so the chess officer could only gallop towards the north gate.

Sun Kewang prepared a lot of ships in Luzhou, and if he couldn't hold them, he could still have a way out.

At this time, the North City and the East City were still in the hands of the Western Army, but it was only a matter of time before they fell. Sun Kewang led more than a thousand people to gather at the pier outside the West Gate, anxiously waiting for Bai Wenxuan and others to come.

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Sun Kewang entered Yunnan with more than 2000 people, and developed 10 horses in more than three years, because he took away a large number of generals from the Western Army.

Although Luzhou was lost this time, as long as he took the backbone away, he would still have a chance to get up again, but he waited for a while, but not many generals rushed to the north gate.

Seeing the shouts of killing in the city spread to the north of the city, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

At this moment, the chess and card officer who sent the order came over panting, "My lord, Commander Bai said that he is going to kill the queen, please go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, another chess and card official galloped over, got off his horse, and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, Commander Feng has surrendered!"

As if being hit hard, Sun Kewang couldn't help taking two steps back, almost falling, but fortunately Zhang Sheng held him up.For a moment, Sun Kewang couldn't help but feel a little chilled, knowing that these people didn't want to follow him anymore, he gave up his life and said, "Get on the boat, let's go!"

At this time, the city of Luzhou was in chaos. The stones in the gate of the west city were blasted away again. The main force of the Ming army entered the city.

Bai Wenxuan led thousands of horses and wanted to retreat to the government office, but was blocked by the Ming army on a street. Li Dingguo saw Bai Wenxuan from a distance, and immediately yelled: "Bai Wenxuan will not abandon the dark and turn to the Ming, you want to let the blood of the Western army flow!" What are you doing?"

When he roared, his voice was so loud that the soldiers fighting on both sides stopped for a moment, and many old men of the Western Army were stunned when they saw that it was Li Dingguo.Seeing this, Bai Wenxuan let out a long sigh, suddenly dropped his weapon, and knelt down on one knee, "This is the end, the guilty general is willing to surrender, and I hope the general treats the surrendered soldiers kindly!"

Seeing this, many Western soldiers with swords looked at each other, dropped their weapons one after another, and knelt down to ask for surrender, but not all of them could be recruited by Li Dingguo.

Among the many soldiers of the Western Army, several people saw that the people around them dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, but they did not kneel down.

For a moment, they stood out from the crowd like chickens. A few soldiers who were still standing looked around with panic on their faces, but one of them suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, minister!" Then he wiped his sword on his neck, He fell to the ground in an instant, and after seeing this, the remaining few people put their knives on their necks after a moment of shock, and killed themselves one by one.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo waved his hand and sighed, "Let's bury him generously!"

The soldiers of the Ming army immediately rushed into the kneeling crowd and escorted the surrendered soldiers away. Most of the western troops in the city chose to surrender, but there were still many people who chose to fight to the end, and there were not a few who committed suicide and burned themselves.

On a hill four or five miles away from Luzhou City, a group of Jin Army scouts watched the flames in Luzhou City rise into the sky, and the shouts of killing gradually subsided. .
