Originally thinking that it would be a very fierce battle, Qin Liangyu was even prepared. If the Ming army showed signs of decline, she would go up to help; if it was a major defeat, she would turn around and run.

However, Qin Liangyu had never expected the scene before her.

The rebels were chopped down like leeks. The smaller side did not maintain a stable formation, but began to advance steadily.

The three-row alternating design ensured continuous firepower; the impact of the artillery made it impossible for the rebels to form a solid formation.

The swordsmen and heavy armored infantry on the flanks constantly guarded the two wings; the crossbowmen checked for gaps and filled them.

The firing rate of the repeating crossbow was very fast and its accuracy was very high, so the battle was one-sided from the very beginning.

The army continued to press forward, and all the rebels who rushed forward died on the way to the charge. Almost few of them could reach the front of the Ming army.

The entire battlefield was like a Shura purgatory, with rebels rushing forward one after another and falling to the ground one after another.

This attack did not last long. The rebels under She Chongming were not very brave. Even if some of them were not afraid of death, they would still go up to die.

As the charge was lost in droves, the rebels' formation became disorganized. As the Ming army continued to press forward, the pressure grew even greater.

No one knew who retreated first, but the entire rebel army began to retreat. This retreat could not be stopped, and the troops began to retreat on a large scale.

Seeing this, She Chongming's face turned pale. He knew that this battle was impossible to win. Although he still had a lot of troops behind him, the army was unstable and the front was in disarray. Even if he pushed all his troops forward, there would be no good results.

After thinking for a moment, She Chongming gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

Although withdrawing now would cause the Ming army to entangle them and would be relatively difficult, and there might be relatively large losses, continuing to charge forward would result in even greater losses.

Now the army formation around She Chongming has not been disrupted, so a steady retreat is still possible.

If the Ming army pursued them, She Chongming could just use his bow and arrows to greet them. So She Chongming chose to retreat, and the front team became the rear team, and retreated directly to the rear.

Sun Chuanting didn't expect to see this scene.

"This She Chongming is really decisive." Sun Chuanting said slowly.

The subordinate standing beside Sun Chuanting asked, "Sir, should we chase them? They are retreating now, which is a good opportunity for us to pursue them."

"Their formation is not in disarray and there are a lot of people. Why should we chase them?" Sun Chuanting waved his hand and said.

"We're here mainly to break the siege of Chongqing and reoccupy Sichuan. All we have to do is keep up with them, keep pushing forward, and force them to retreat to Chongqing. If they fight us at the gates of Chongqing, that would be the best."

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he walked directly over to Qin Liangyu and said with a smile, "General Qin, the army is about to move forward. Would you like to join us?"

After looking at Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu nodded.

This young general is really speechless!

Qin Liangyu readily agreed: "Okay!"

She Chongming's army continued to retreat, and Sun Chuanting followed slowly from behind.

The rebels did not dare to stop. Once they stopped, the Ming army would catch up with them, so they could only evacuate quickly and did not dare to stay for even a moment.

In Chongqing city.

Governor Xu Keqiu was pacing anxiously.

As the governor of Chongqing, Xu Keqiu had a very difficult time during this period. Since Chengshe and Chongming rebelled, Xu Keqiu had not had a single day of peace.

Everything around has been lost long ago, and now only the isolated city of Chongqing is left. There is not much food left in the city. If we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Now the morale of the army and the people is unstable, and Xu Keqiu has no good solution.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly ran in from outside.

The man, who was in his fifties, saw Xu Keqiu and said in panic, "Sir, She Chongming's rebels are back again!"

After hearing this, Xu Keqiu was stunned and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure you saw it right?"

"I'm not mistaken," the visitor said quickly. "A few days ago, She Chongming transferred a large number of troops, leaving only 20,000 rebels outside the city. Your Excellency sent me to investigate the situation to see if there's a chance we can take out the 20,000 troops outside. I didn't dare delay and have been keeping an eye on it the entire time."

"Just now, She Chongming came back with his men!"

"Let's go to the top of the city wall." Xu Keqiu said hurriedly.

The two men quickly climbed to the top of the city wall.

At this time, She Chongming had retreated to the camp.

What Xu Keqiu and the others didn't expect was that She Chongming didn't even stay, but chose to retreat directly.

Watching the army leave Chongqing, Xu Keqiu and the others still didn't understand what was going on.

After exchanging a glance, Xu Keqiu said, "What's going on?"

The civil servant next to him suddenly became excited and said directly, "Sir, this doesn't seem like She Chongming's method of luring the enemy. Instead, it looks like they are being forced to retreat. Are our reinforcements here?"

Chongqing has been under siege these days and no news has come in, so we can only make such guesses.

After hearing this, Xu Keqiu also became excited. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that reinforcements have really arrived?"

As soon as the two finished speaking, another group of people appeared in the distance.

There was a big flag in front of the team, with a name embroidered clearly on the flag.
