Chapter 208 Unexpected Results

() The moment the rogue's commander-in-chief flag was cut, the morale of the army was completely broken.

The county magistrate has already discovered that the bandits have begun to be defeated on a large scale, and the opportunity must not be missed. At this time, they must lead the soldiers guarding the city and rush out of the city to fight.Although he didn't know exactly where the reinforcements came from, he was very familiar with Daming's battle flag and the clothes of the soldiers.

The history of the county government and the inspection of the inspection department have long been prepared.

The power of faith is infinite. Seeing the reinforcements and the rout of the bandits, the sergeants defending the city were already eager to try, but they had been oppressed and beaten by the bandits all the time.

The city gate was opened, and nearly 1000 people rushed out, rushing directly towards the bandits.

Under the front and back attacks, the bandits were completely defeated, and the commander-in-chief's flag was chopped off, indicating that the commander-in-chief had already encountered a problem, and the dragons had no leader. At this time, they could only run for their lives.

Liu Tiehan and Zijin Liang fought directly.

I originally thought that Zijin Liang must be the enemy of thousands of people. As the leader of the rogues and the organizer of the 36th Battalion, he must be extremely powerful, brave and good at fighting. At the beginning of the fight, Liu Tiehan was a little cautious and rude Said, in terms of momentum, he lost to Zijin Liang.

Unfortunately, after several rounds of fighting, Liu Tiehan discovered that this was not the case at all. Zijin Liang was considered brave, but his ability to fight on horseback seemed to be inferior to his own.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and Liu Tiehan completely gained the upper hand. If he hadn't thought about capturing Zijin Liang alive, he would have knocked Zijin Liang off his horse long ago.

Liu Tiehan didn't know that he was undergoing brutal training in the Jiangning County military camp.It has had a huge effect, if it was a reckless operation before.Relying on a lot of strength, now it is ability plus skill.

Zijin Liang's face was pale, all around him were Ming's sergeants, and the soldiers around him were almost all beheaded.

Looking up to the sky with a long sigh, Zijin Liang was about to commit suicide.

He had no chance, with a spear behind him.Throwing away his steel knife, Liu Tiehan leaned close to his body, grabbed his belt, and pulled him off the horse abruptly.

The soldiers around Liu Tiehan began to shout loudly.

"General Liu captured Zijin Liang alive..."

The shouts grew louder.

This was the last straw that crushed the rogues. The rogues who were still resisting heard such shouts and saw the soldiers of Ming Dynasty.Holding the handsome flag, he completely gave up resistance and fled for his life in all directions.

There were also some rogues who knelt on the ground to express their surrender.

The magistrate finally met Su Tiancheng.

"I would like to thank my lord, my lord has saved the people of Yingshan County."

"You're welcome. I'm under the order of the Ministry of War to wipe out the bandits who invaded Nanzhili. This is within the scope of my duties."

Outside Yingshan County, it has gradually become silent.

The results of the battle are still in the process of counting, however.Zijin Liang had already been brought in front of Su Tiancheng.

Looking at the most famous leader of the bandits, Su Tiancheng suddenly felt.He has completely changed the course of history.

"Zijinliang, I'm afraid you're still thinking about the winner and loser."

Zijin Liang looked at Su Tiancheng, a trace of surprise flashed on his expressionless face, he couldn't believe that the Ming general who defeated him and wiped out his entire army was so young.

"Hehe, I am Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County. I admire your courage to organize the rogues from Battalion 36 to gather in Shanxi. However, you are always rogues."

"You, you are Su Tiancheng."

With a hoarse voice, Zijin Liang finally spoke.

"Yes, I am Su Tiancheng."

Zijin Liang looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"I lost, and I was convinced. When I was in Henan, I lost to you. You were in Henan for disaster relief. I don't know what kind of magic you used. The peasants didn't support us, but supported the government. At that time, I knew, you It must be our biggest opponent, I never thought I would meet you so soon."

Su Tiancheng squinted his eyes and did not speak. In this world, there is no magic. Officials have people in their hearts, and if they care about people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, they will be supported.

"Master Su, today is the first time I have seen such a powerful Ming army. Many of my brothers, if they meet you, it will be difficult to have a good result, but I still want to say that I will also rebel in my next life."

"Zijinliang, I understand what you mean. With nowhere to go, you can only rebel, and you can't starve to death. Unfortunately, your belief has been shaken. I said bluntly, what you thought, is it true?" The most important thing is to let the peasants have food. How can you do it? In my opinion, your rebellion is feasible, but your actions are disgusting. What is the equalization of the land? , I am afraid that your ultimate goal is also to become king and hegemony."

"Chuangwang, Chuangjiang, the Eight Great Kings, Zuojin King, Changing the World King, after all, they are all of the same breed. In the name of rebellion, they hold power by themselves. This official admits that in some places, there are many disasters, and the peasants don't For food, local officials don't care about the life and death of the people, and they are greedy for money and corruption. Therefore, on the one hand, I want to wipe out you rogues, and on the other hand, I want to improve people's livelihood. , is the best example.”

Zijin Liang raised his head, thinking about what to say, but after thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Luo Chang and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion waited anxiously.

The rogues who escaped from the town were vulnerable, and most of them were beheaded. The remaining rogues who surrendered were detained in the woods by the roadside after cleaning the battlefield.

The scout galloped over on horseback, his face flushed.

"Report, the rogues are completely defeated and are coming this way."

Luo Chang pulled out the steel knife.

"Brothers, get ready, you can't let a cavalryman of the rogues go, you must kill them all here."

It takes only a few minutes to ride a horse for a distance of four miles.

The cavalry of the rogues escaped faster after all. They thought that although the general was captured, there were still many sergeants. After they fled back to Huguang, they could reorganize and elect a new leader. rebel.Besides, there are two thousand infantry waiting in the town.

When the shouts of killing and the sound of drums suddenly appeared, the rogues were still trembling. They had lost the courage to resist. There was an ambush from the Ming army here. One could imagine what was going on in the town.

When the fight started, many cavalrymen of the rogues were still in a state of panic, and were chopped off their horses before they even had time to swing their knives.

Luo Chang didn't expect that the fight would go so smoothly, and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion didn't expect it. They thought that there might be a fierce fight, but they didn't expect it to be so simple, and they didn't meet decent resistance.

It was only during the interrogation of a prisoner that Luo Chang learned that Zijin Liang had been captured alive.

When the rogue infantry fled, it was getting dark. According to Sun Yuankun's arrangement, Luo Chang spared most of the infantry and did not kill them all. There were still ambushes in the town. These people were handed over to the soldiers of Anqingwei.

The battle in the town seemed dull. When Zeng Yu led more than 1000 sergeants and rushed into the town, the rogue infantry hadn't reacted yet. I don't know where such a team of Ming cavalry came from. Unfortunately, the result was not as Su Tiancheng expected. It turned into chasing pigs and sheep, and many rogues ran towards the county seat.

Zeng Yu was a little ashamed, he remembered what Su Tiancheng said, the key to exterminating bandits is to kill the enemy, not drive them away.

Therefore, after achieving the apparent victory, Zeng Yu reprimanded the sergeant mercilessly.

After dark, a large number of rogues fled to the front of the town. This time, Zeng Yu issued a death order. If anyone still wants to drive away the rogues and is unwilling to kill the enemy, he will be executed on the spot.

The rogues who fled to the town had more than 2000 infantry.

They never imagined that they were facing a catastrophe. If they had surrendered outside the county seat, they could still save their lives.

After Anqingwei's sergeants launched an attack, they found that these rogues had no morale at all. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Military merit was counted by head. No one would think of keeping alive and gathering as many heads as possible.

By the time the rogues realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. Even if they knelt down and surrendered, they would still be beheaded.

Zeng Yu also discovered this situation, and quickly asked the soldiers around him to stop such behavior.

At Haishi, the results came out.

Outside the county seat of Yingshan County, the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Luo Chang, and the sergeants of Anqingwei led by Zeng Yu killed more than 5000 rogues, captured Zijinliang and more than 1000 rogues alive, and the remaining [-] rogues disappeared.

There were 240 seven soldiers killed in the Jiangning County Inspection Department, 35 soldiers killed in the Xiaoqi Battalion, and 15 soldiers killed in the Anqingwei Army. The statistics of serious and minor injuries are still in the process.

More than [-] soldiers were killed in battle in Yingshan County.

With such a huge victory, one should be happy, but Jiangning County Inspection Department had the most soldiers killed in battle, and Su Tiancheng was a little depressed. There was nothing he could do about it. The brothers he brought with him took on the most arduous task. As for The soldiers who died in Yingshan County were not in his consideration.

The magistrate of Yingshan County prepared dinner, and the gentry and wealthy households in the county town brought out their own wine and meat.

Su Tiancheng, Sun Yuankun and others, after discussing, decided to leave Yingshan County after a night's rest and go directly back to Jiangning County. Zeng Yu returned to Anqing Prefecture with the sergeants of Anqingwei.

As for the captured war horse, Su Tiancheng took it for himself without hesitation.

What is annoying is that these more than 5000 prisoners of war will be escorted to Nanjing.

The bandits were still wiped out, and the task was completed.

At night, Su Tiancheng wrote the memorial, and Qu Qingze arranged for the local Jinyiwei to send the memorial to the stables and Nanjing as quickly as possible.

That night, Su Tiancheng slept soundly. The officers and men of the Jiangning County Inspection Department had really tempered themselves this time, showing extraordinary combat effectiveness. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
