Chapter 234 The Tragic Battle

() Seeing the soldiers around him fall down one by one, watching the enraged soldiers of the scout battalion led by Sun Chuanting turn into endless killings, Ma Yingshou knew clearly that he could no longer escape.

Since the uprising in the first year of Chongzhen, he has never encountered such a thing. Although the imperial court sent a lot of troops to encircle and suppress him many times, he was always safe and sound. In Shanxi last year, the imperial court mobilized so many troops. I haven't felt like a fish in water yet, and I have nothing to do, but this time, I am not so lucky.

Ma Yingshou finally understood why Zijinliang was captured alive, and why more than 1 brothers were defeated by the Jiangning camp with less than 5000 people.

The catastrophe was approaching, but he seemed relaxed. After six years of travelling, no matter how hard he had suffered, he should take a good rest. This time he was completely relieved. Somehow, he felt that this day, sooner or later, is coming.

"Brothers, stop resisting."

He who has been fighting for many years is wise. Under the current situation, there is no need to resist. What would be incurred like that is ruthless killing. In his eyes, Su Tiancheng is the embodiment of the devil, not only himself, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others may fall into the hands of this Su Tiancheng in the future. The Jiangning Camp is too frightening. This is a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death. They will definitely be the biggest opponent and nemesis of the rebel army.

Numerous personal soldiers looked at Ma Yingshou, feeling that their leader had suddenly aged and lost the spirit of the past, as if they had seen through the world of mortals and calmly faced everything in front of them.

"Marshal, keep the green hills here. You go first, we will protect you and rush out with all our might..."

The soldier didn't have time to finish his words.A snapping arrow pierced his jaw.

"Okay, I said, don't resist, bastard, put down your weapons."

Ma Yingshou suddenly became angry, threw down the steel knife in his hand, turned over and got off the horse.

Soon, Sun Chuanting brought several sergeants with him.surrounded him in the middle.

The coach was captured without a fight, and the rest of the soldiers lost the meaning of resisting and began to scatter and run away.

Looking at the soldiers of the scout battalion, who were about to continue chasing and killing them, Ma Yingshou spoke up.

"My lords, I have already been captured. Please let these brothers of mine go."

Sun Chuanting looked at Ma Yingshou, hesitating, these personal soldiers have good fighting power, if they let go, it would be a disaster.Therefore, he did not immediately issue an order to stop the attack.

"Okay, since Lao Hui has already been arrested, let's stop.<>"

Su Tiancheng's words came, and Sun Chuanting quickly ordered the soldiers of the scout battalion.Stop chasing and killing, and let the remaining soldiers escape.

He saw Su Tiancheng coming over.Ma Yingshou's eyes spewed fire. This time, he failed in the battle, and he was defeated miserably. He admitted the defeat, admitted that Su Tiancheng was powerful, and admitted that the Jiangning Camp was invincible, but he couldn't accept the evil that Su Tiancheng said. , He has never colluded with Houjin, and will never betray the interests of the nation. Besides, the rebellion at the beginning was also because of the corruption of the officers above. Sometimes, Zhang Xianzhong and others suppressed and killed officials, and he often dissuaded them, telling everyone not to go too far.

"Old Hui Hui, what's the matter, look at me, is there anything unconvinced?"

"If I can't beat you, I'm convinced of the defeat. Jiangning's battalion's combat power is invincible in the world, but I won't admit to the evil you said earlier. If I am wronged, even if I die, I won't rest in peace."

Su Tiancheng's smile disappeared, he got off his horse and walked to the opposite side of Ma Yingshou.

"Old Hui Hui, on the battlefield, you can use everything to the extreme. Some of the evils I said earlier are real thoughts, and some are to damage your morale. From a personal emotional point of view, I really admire you. If you don't Rebellion, we might become best friends."

Ma Yingshou was very surprised. He didn't know why Su Tiancheng said that. He stood there, motionless.

It is impossible for him to know that Su Tiancheng is a time traveler and is very familiar with history.

The old Huihui in history was called the mastermind by the peasant uprising army. He led the sergeants and moved to various places. What's more, his integrity is very good. He never surrendered to the enemy, and he disdained the trick of false surrender. In the rebel army, he had a high prestige.

This time, Lao Hui led the sergeants to openly challenge Su Tiancheng, probably because he really wanted to avenge Zijinliang. If he could defeat Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion, it would be of great importance to boost the morale of the rebel army.

As for the fighting within the rebel army, that was a normal situation. In the imperial court, such things abound.

"Old Huihui, I mentioned earlier that you colluded with Houjin. This is unfounded. I know that you are strong and will not give in to foreigners. As for the struggle among the rogues, there is nothing unusual. I think it is normal. , People are all after power, and they all want to show their abilities. You have a very good prestige among the rogues. Your sergeants don't plunder everywhere and treat the people well. This is where you come into contact. Ideal struggle, I fight for my beliefs, winners and losers, it has been like this since ancient times, if you lose, you lose, there is not so much to argue about, everything is left to history to comment.”

Ma Yingshou understood these few words.

After looking up to the sky and sighing, he spoke.

"Su Tiancheng, you are powerful, you are really powerful, I can believe that many rebels will surely fall into your hands, and fall into the hands of the Jiangning camp. I was forced to rebel when I rebelled, the court was incompetent, the officer Corruption, regardless of our life and death, I have no choice. Over the years, I have thought a lot. Rebellion is not a path that everyone is willing to take. This is a dead end. Anyone who wants to live a peaceful life will lose in your hands , I have nothing to say, but I have two requests."

"Say."

"Don't hand me over to the imperial court, let me end it myself, don't continue to chase and kill my brothers, many of them are poor people, and they also had no choice but to rebel with me. After this fiasco, I believe they will not live such a life, and the life of licking blood is really enough."

Su Tiancheng looked at Ma Yingshou and nodded.

The sergeant beside him immediately went over to convey the order.

The war has turned into a kind of massacre until now. The rogues have long lost the ability to resist. Many infantry kneel on the ground with their hands raised high. Some cavalry are still sporadicly resisting. There are also some rogues who choose escape.

Because of the heavy losses of the Xiaoqi Battalion, the guards of the palace held their breath in their hearts, and they were merciless in their strikes.

Sun Chuanting personally handed Ma Yingshou a steel knife.

"Su Tiancheng, in this life, it is impossible for us to be friends. If there is another life, we must be best friends."

After shouting these words with all his strength, Ma Yingshou raised the steel knife horizontally and cut his own neck.

Seeing the blood spewing out and Ma Yingshou falling down slowly, Su Tiancheng suddenly felt a tinge of desolation in his heart, which was probably sympathy.

The battle is finally over.

The matter of counting the results of the battle was soon over.

With red eyes, Sun Yuankun came to Su Tiancheng.

“大人,骁骑营三百兄弟,阵亡217人,重伤14人,余者全部轻伤,王府护卫,阵亡237人,重伤22人,轻伤无数,斥候营轻伤16人,无一阵亡。。。”

Sun Yuankun's voice was choked with sobs, and he couldn't continue. Most of the brothers from the three hundred Xiao cavalry battalion came from Mount Emei. They were the most elite soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, and they had never suffered such a heavy loss.

"Kang..."

The steel knife in Su Tiancheng's hand fell to the ground. He never imagined that the Xiaoqi Battalion suffered such heavy losses, almost the entire army was wiped out.

In fact, in the process of fighting, the brothers of the Xiaoqi Battalion would not have suffered such a heavy loss if they retreated a little bit, but they did not take a step back, and faced 6000 people with [-] flesh and blood, without frowning or fear, Completing this suicidal task inspired the fighting spirit of the whole army.

Tears flowed down the cheeks.

This is the power of faith, like-minded people will regard death as home, and in an instant, the joy of exterminating bandits and returning to suicide, all become unimportant.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help it anymore, tears flowed more and more, he felt sorry for the brothers of Xiaoqiying, if in the previous battle, he had launched a general attack earlier and didn't think about winning a complete victory, he would not have caused such a heavy loss.

Sun Chuanting, who was standing behind him, was also crying. He didn't know why he was crying, but he felt an aura. This behavior of not retreating even in the battle is worthy of everyone's admiration.

"Pass my order, hang white flags in the army, and all the soldiers will wear white clothes to see off the brothers who died in battle. All the brothers who died in battle will be brought back to the Jiangning camp, and no one will be left behind."

"My lord, this is the team for welcoming the bride..."

"Do as I say."

Zhu Shenxin took the lead in changing clothes. The bright red clothes were put away, and plain white clothes were put on.

I couldn't find so many plain white clothes for a while, all the soldiers had white turbans wrapped around their heads, and white cloths were all over the flags and flags.

The mood of the escorting palace guards also changed. The guards who were able to enter the Jiangning camp felt honored.After completing the task, it is an honor to return to the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion. They once fought side by side with the Jiangning Battalion. This is an invincible army.

Sun Chuanting made up his mind that he must enter the Jiangning Camp. During the conversation with Su Tiancheng, he already understood that if he entered the Jiangning Camp, he might become the supreme commander. Facing such an iron-blooded army, what he felt , It is glory, with such an army, there is nothing that cannot be defeated.

On May [-]th, the brigade finally entered the territory of Yingtian Mansion. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
