Chapter 433 Surrender
"How many people are there?" Zhang Yuan was sitting in the middle army, and he was not afraid of the outflanking of the Liao army.

"There are about 3000 to [-] people on each side. Do we need to divide our troops to stop them?" the general asked.

"What can only two or three thousand people do? Just ignore them!" Zhang Yuan said coldly.

"Okay..." The general obeyed Zhang Yuan's orders.

The infantry of the Fuliao Army led by Mrs. Yang and Grand Duke Karl made a detour to the left and right, directly threatening the [-] Dashun Army led by Gao Yigong.

"The commander-in-chief has an order. Let the Liao army take action. Don't worry about it. We will wait for the opportunity." The general who went to Zhang Yuan to fight returned to Gao Yigong's army and said to Gao Yigong.

"The Fu Liao army obviously wants to turn around and cut off our retreat. Does Zhang Yuan have any special way to deal with them?" Gao Yigong paced around, "He must have his own meaning when he thinks so, then let's wait wait."

The 13 rogues were waiting for Zhang Yuan's order. Yang Tai and others of the Liao Army had already captured the main highlands nearby, posing a certain threat to the 13 rogues.

Time passed slowly, and Zhang Yuan, who advocated a quick battle, kept calm.But Gao Yigong and the others became anxious.

After such a period of time, the Liao Army faintly formed an encirclement with a small number of troops of more than [-] people, and the artillery also determined the target of the attack.

Unable to restrain himself, Gao Yigong personally brought the officials of the reserve team to look for Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan, the Fu Liao Army has appeared behind us, why haven't we acted yet? Didn't you say that you want to make a quick decision and let me lead the reserve team to carry out a surprise attack?" Gao Yi found Zhang Yuan vigorously.

"Commander, we should launch an attack quickly, or our soldiers will fall into chaos!" The generals around Zhang Yuan also urged.

Zhang Yuan was silent for a while, he pulled out his saber to look at it, and then said slowly: "Listen to my order—"

All the generals of the Dashun Army, including Gao Yigong, were in awe. After waiting for so long, the battle was finally about to start.

"Hang up the white flag and surrender to the Liao army!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay, let's vote now..."

Gao Yigong and other generals of the Dashun Army were in the middle of speaking, and they were shocked when they realized that something was wrong.

"Zhang Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Gao Yigong shouted.

"Is it hard to understand? We have been surrounded by the Liao Army, and the only way out is to surrender to the Liao Army." Zhang Yuan said.

"Zhang Yuan, pay attention to what you say, this is betraying King Chuang!" The generals of the Dashun Army including Gao Yigong glared at Zhang Yuan.

They really couldn't figure out why a No. [-] figure who was second only to Li Zicheng in the Dashun Army regime would rebel before the battle.And more than [-] people have chosen to surrender to the Liao Army without even attacking?It would be more honorable to surrender even after losing a battle than it is now!
"Need I say it again? Raise the white flag and surrender to the Liao Army." Zhang Yuan said coldly.

"What benefits did the Liao army give you? Is it more than the 3 taels of silver and high-ranking officials who were given to you by King Chuang?" Gao Yigong drew his sword: "Everyone, you have heard that Zhang Yuan he rebelled, and I will kill him on behalf of King Chuang, and serve as the interim commander to fight to the death with the Liao army!"

"Some things cannot be solved by Yinliang." Zhang Yuan aimed his saber at Gao Yigong.

The two confronted each other with long swords, staring at each other, the two sides moved their feet, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

The Dashun generals of the South Route Army were at a loss for a moment as they watched the confrontation between the chief and deputy commanders of the South Route Army.

"Who should we listen to?"

"Zhang Yuan is our commander-in-chief. He said he would surrender to the Liao army. What should we do?"

"We are all surrounded by the Liao army. If we don't surrender to them, we don't know if we can survive..."

"Let's see which of the two leaders can beat the other, let's just listen to whoever they are?"

A group of generals watched the confrontation between Zhang Yuan and Gao Yigong, and discussed in private.In view of Zhang Yuan's prestige and the threat of the Liao army outside, they did not dare to move forward.

"Zhang Yuan, you are going to die here today, this is the fate of a traitor!" Gao Yigong nervously held the saber in his hand.

"Really? Then why didn't you come up and kill me? Why is your arm shaking?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Idiot, are you underestimating me?!" Gao Yigong became furious.

"Fighting alone is something a fool would do." Zhang Yuan put down his sword at a critical moment, "Take them down!"

Zhang Yuan gave an order, and a woman in armor led hundreds of soldiers to appear, and surrounded these generals of the Dashun Army!

Although Zhang Yuan did not actually control any army, the elite musket battalion and cavalry battalion were handed over to Li Zicheng, but he had nearly a thousand soldiers.Some of these soldiers are even his confidantes.

"Put down your weapons obediently and don't resist, maybe you can survive." The woman who commanded Zhang Yuan's soldiers shouted.

This time the generals were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but regret why they threw themselves into the trap!Some smart generals immediately understood that Zhang Yuan had been holding back his troops because he wanted to make the situation rotten. These generals couldn't hold back one by one, so they could catch them all in one go.

"Isn't this the woman you rescued in Taiyuan Mansion? Good Zhang Yuan, you turned against me at that time!" Gao Yigong said with a dark face.

"It's useless to talk too much. You have already been disarmed. It's useless." Zhang Yuan said, "Lianniang, take care of them. I'll take people to raise the flag and welcome the Liao army back."

"Leave it to me here, it's rare that you will do something good." said Lianniang, the woman rescued by Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Yuan's rebellion happened in the central army of 13 bandits, and the peripheral troops didn't know what happened. Most of the 13 rogues lost their generals, and the dragons had no leader.

Battles could happen at any time, and every bandit was very nervous, and the commander of the Chinese army didn't have any news, which made them at a loss, who were sweating profusely.

Suddenly, a white flag was raised in the position of the Dashun Army.This white flag was seen by the generals, military staff officers, and military commanders of the Fuliao Army on the front.

"Master, a white flag is raised in the enemy's position, what the hell are they doing?" Liu Xingzha came to Chu Yun confused.

"It's really inexplicable. They surrendered before the battle. What are they thinking?" Chang Yi, Xu Ji and other infantry generals also came to Chu Yun.

"10 people don't have the courage to attack us. If they surrendered without a war, it must be a false surrender." These generals talked a lot.

"Liu Xingzha, Chen Jisheng, you two led the troops to accept their surrender." Chu Yun seemed to be expecting it, not at all.
