Capture the rebels
Time flies like a white horse, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
Through the cooperation of Yang Kaitai, Fan Qi and Xiong Hao, Ying Tianfu has now developed on a considerable scale. The displaced people in the surrounding areas were attracted by the benefits of Yingtian and moved one after another. With the joining of these displaced people, Yingtianfu's grain production has also increased exponentially.
On this day, the rebel army in Moling saw that the displaced people had fled to Yingtian, and now there is no new force under their own rule except for the old and weak women and children. In a fit of rage, Kang Yan, the commander of the Moling Rebel Army, pulled up the banner and rallied his men and horses to launch a fierce attack on Yingtian.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, how could Kang Yan come to find trouble with Ying Tianfu? There was already a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and now that most of the population had been transferred to Yingtian, they could not recruit new soldiers at all. But if Kang Bran could do anything about it, he would never do it. Now it is really helpless to launch an onslaught against Tianfu. After all, a rabbit bites when it's in a hurry, isn't it?
Speaking of which, this Xiong Hao is also really talented and practical, and he sent a secret sentinel earlier to pay attention to the dynamics of the surrounding forces. This Kang bran was also unlucky, and he had just left the house when he was discovered by the secret sentinel. The dark whistle immediately passed the news to Xiong Hao, asking him to prepare early.
When Xiong Hao told Mo Li the news, Mo Li didn't take this bran seriously at all, and said to Mo Er: "You take the troops to solve it." As a last resort, don't take action personally, and try to let these soldiers experience the baptism of war as much as possible. ”
"Mo Er obeys the orders of his master. After receiving the order, Mo Er turned around and left, and went to find Liu Qian's soldiers.
Seeing that Xiong Hao hadn't left yet, Mo Li asked with some confusion, "Do you have anything else?"
"Back to the adult's words, Xia Guan is fine, but he just received news that they seem to be going through Nanzhi. If the lower official is not mistaken, Young Master Yu and Mrs. Dong are both in Nanzhi, right? ”
Mo Li was not in a hurry, but asked, "How many people do they have?"
Xiong Hao said without thinking about it: "The Kang Yan uprising in Moling is still short, there are only less than 5,000 peasant soldiers under his command, and there are no blades in his hands, relying on nothing more than a passion and brute strength. ”
"What about the grain and grass?" Moli asked again.
"It was because of the shortage of food and grass and the loss of population that they launched a general attack on us, and they didn't have much food and grass. They thought that their grain and grass could only last for half a month at most. ”
"You don't have to worry about this matter, the deity will handle it himself. Mo Li said that, and flashed out of the room directly.
Seeing that Moli had already left, Xiong Hao sighed helplessly, and muttered, "Kang Yan, the national teacher will go in person, you can ask for more blessings." ”
Mo left the room and rushed to Liu Qian's camp before Mo Er. After Mo Er arrived, he said to Mo Er: "You don't need to go to this matter, the teacher will go and deal with it personally." You go to Nanzhi now to protect Yu'er and Xiaowan. ”
Although I don't know why Mo Li suddenly changed his attention, Mo Er is not a person who talks much, and immediately took the order to rush to Nanzhi.
After thinking about it, Mo Li said to Liu Qian: "Lord Liu, how are the more than 10,000 people and horses that were recruited before are being trained now?"
Liu Qian replied: "After these months of training, they can already take charge on their own. However, the lower officials did not pass on the Five Fowl Fist to them, and it was okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, but it was a little difficult to encounter hard ideas. ”
When Mo Li heard this, he said to Liu Qian: "The rebel army over there in Moling is now sending troops to prepare to attack Yingtian, bring your men and horses, and we will go to meet this Kang Yan." ”
Speaking of which, this is the first time Mo Li has led troops to the battle, but he is slightly excited in his heart.
On the march, Mo Li saw that the soldiers were singing some songs along the way, but they didn't sound very good. Mo Lidang ordered someone to stop them, and instead handed them a popular song "Loyal to the Country".
When everyone learned, more than 10,000 people sang "Loyal to the Country" at the same time, how grand was the scene?
"The wolf smoke rises and the rivers and mountains look north. The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost. The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years...... The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north. People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and China will let the Quartet come to congratulate me. ”
When Kang Yan's troops were still twenty miles away from Mo Li's army, they could already clearly hear this imposing singing voice, and they were immediately shocked to the point that some timid people were so frightened that they couldn't walk.
When they saw the more than 10,000 men led by Mo Li, they were almost frightened. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, they might have been scared away.
Mo Li walked at the front alone, and when he was far away, he said to Kang Yan: "Is the person who came from the Moling Rebel Army Kang Yan?"
Hearing that Mo Li actually revealed his identity directly, Kang Yan was surprised by the speed at which the other party grasped the information, and at the same time knew that it was pointless for him to deny it, so he immediately admitted: "Yes, it is Kang Yan below." ”
"The deity knows that your Moling is now short of people and food. Your desperate uprising is nothing more than a way to survive in this troubled world. The deity is not a person who is easy to kill, and now I will give you a way to live. As long as you are willing to surrender, the deity guarantees that each of you will be fed and clothed, and that you will no longer suffer from hunger and cold. ”
"Do you think I'll still believe you? If it weren't for your court, how would we have fallen into such a situation?
Mo Li didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand over his head, slightly clenched his fist, and the more than 10,000 people behind him immediately ordered a ban, stopped singing, and all clenched the blades in their hands, pressed down the front end of the blade, and shouted "Ho!"
This "ho" immediately frightened Kang Yan into falling off the horse. It took me a few laps before I struggled to get up and said, "You...... You ......" but he "you" for a long time, and he didn't know what to say, just kept shaking.
Kang Yan, the leader, is still like this, not to mention the others, all of them are pale with fright. Not to mention that the soldiers on Moli's side are strictly disciplined, even the equipment is not half a star. The soldiers on Moli's side were all equipped with spears and bright armor, while Kang Yan's side was all dressed in rags, and the weapons in their hands were all farm tools from each family's farming.
More than half of the people on Kang Yan's side immediately dropped their weapons and fell to their knees, expressing their willingness to surrender.
Mo Li smiled, but he didn't rush to speak, but waited for Kang Yan to make a statement.
Seeing that there is such a huge difference in strength, what else is there to fight? Kang Yan sighed and said: "Fellow villagers, I Kang Yan can't stand you. Now you have only one way to live, surrender. Kang Yan can only apologize with death, go to the Lord of Yama to develop his power in advance, and when the old man Chongzhen comes down, I will definitely take revenge. With that, Kang Yan raised the sword in his hand and prepared to kill himself.
Seeing that Kang Yan was about to commit suicide, Mo Li directly waved his sleeves, knocked off the sword in his hand, and said, "You don't have to die. As long as you are loyal to the court, I will keep you safe. ”
Kang Yan didn't appreciate it, and said to Mo Li: "What's the matter? Don't you even let me die?
"Kang Sheng, you misunderstood, the deity doesn't want to take your life. To put it bluntly, we were all subjects of the Ming Dynasty before, and there was no need to kill each other. Previously, because His Majesty was unladylike and traitorous ministers were in charge, this led to the people's misery. Now that His Majesty has eradicated all these traitors, Kang Sheng doesn't have to worry too much. If you don't believe it, you can go to Yingtian with the deity and see how the people of Yingtian live. ”
Seeing that Mo Li really didn't want to kill him, Kang Yan immediately said, "It's okay, I'll go to Yingtianfu with you." Whatever you want to do, I'll do it. I just hope you don't embarrass my fellow countrymen. ”
"This is natural. Nodding, Mo Li asked Liu Qian's people to look at these descendants, and he went to Yingtian with Kang Yan.
