Facing the swarming Ming army, Hu Quancai's face turned green.

How so?

How could a thief have the energy to step out for reinforcements?

Could it be that Hong Jingluo and Lord Ao failed?

It's impossible.

Lord Ao and Hong Jingluo have countless elite soldiers and generals, how can they be defeated?

It's incredible.

Hu Quancai roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of people in the Ming army.

In this battle, they originally besieged the Tiger Ben army on the mountain, but now they were being flanked from front to back.

It's too hard.

Hu Quancai doesn't think that he has the ability to turn the tide, and this kind of thing is not his style, but he is better at picking up leaks.

After assessing the situation, Hu Quancai felt that it was impossible to win this battle.

The current Qing army is an artillery battle, as long as it is a little bit.

"Your Excellency the Governor, let's surrender."

Zhou Peigong said in a deep voice.

At present, the Qing army is blocked from the road, neither advancing nor retreating, and there is no chance to escape. To hope for a breakthrough is to deceive yourself.

If you surrender, there may be a chance of survival.

After all, Hu Quancai is only a general of the defeated army, not a general of the light pole.

As long as you have the strength in your hands, you will have bargaining chips.

Hu Quancai was a little hesitant.

In the Qing court, he was the dignified governor of Huguang and a feudal official of the Eight Classics.

If he surrenders, what official position can Ming Ting Yongli give him?

Wouldn't it be a loss if you were demoted?

There is a way to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

Enjoy the life of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and it is not easy to adapt to the relatively shabby and lonely.

What's more, Hu Quancai's heart is very high, and if he can't adapt to it, he will have a very uncomfortable life.

Seeing Hu Quancai's hesitation, Zhou Peigong sighed: "Your Excellency Governor, if you keep making decisions, you will suffer from it." Now surrender is the only option. You can't make the wrong choice. ”

Hu Quancai shook his head with his hands behind his back: "That's it, I wanted to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but I was helplessly betrayed." This is not what the official wants. ”

Zhou Peigong knew Hu Quancai's temperament very well, and knew that he was the most good-looking, so he followed his words and said: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch." In ancient times, there was a Yue king Goujian lying down to taste the gall, and three thousand Yue Jia could swallow Wu. Your Excellency the Governor can follow the example of King Yue and do that thing of lying down and tasting courage. ”

Zhou Peigong said this, which can be said to have given Hu Quancai enough face.

Hu Quancai no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay." Give the order to surrender. ”

Surrender is such a thing, Hu Quancai really hasn't done it before.

But there is a way to be born once and twice cooked, Hu Quancai now has no psychological pressure at all, and it is very smooth to do.

The Qing army threw away the blades in their hands one after another, knelt on the ground and begged.

This face made the Ming army dumbfounded.

Why did they suddenly surrender when there were so many soldiers?

What a bunch of cowards!

However, the Ming army was naturally happy to see this.

The soldiers were exhausted, and they were all holding on in one breath.

Why not reduce some casualties?

"Come on, tie up all these captives."

Zhao Xu immediately ordered.

Li Shishi responded excitedly.

Soon, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army cooperated with Li Dingguo's department to tie up all the Qing soldiers.

As for Hu Quancai, Zhou Peigong, Gao Tianjue and others, they were tied up and brought to Zhu Youlang by the Five Flowers.

"The criminal minister Hu Quancai paid a visit to Your Majesty."

Hu Quancai's face is not red, his heart is not beating, and his face is deserved.

Zhu Youlang was panicked for him.

"The flood thieves have been defeated and retreated, how many defenders are there in Changsha City?"

Zhu Youlang asked coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are only 5,000 old and weak soldiers..."

Hu Quancai said cautiously: "Your Majesty can bring the guilty ministers there, and the guilty ministers can order someone to open the city gate directly." ”

Zhu Youlang's heart is still a bit useful for this Hu Quancai, and it seems that he can save his life for a few days.

"Lead the way!"

Zhu Youlang said loudly.

...

...

When the dignified governor of Huguang appeared in front of Changsha City shirtless, the defenders in the city were stunned.

Damn, even the Governor has been captured, and this battle must have been lost.

The Governor ordered them to open the gates, and the defenders complied with them without hesitation.

Even the elite generals and the Eight Banners Army can't help the Ming army, how can they rely on their 5,000 remnants?

If you surrender earlier, you may end up dying.

The city gate was opened, and Zhu Youlang sent people into the city to receive it.

According to past experience, the entire city can only be considered relatively stable if the gates are controlled.

Zhu Youlang is worried about fraud, so he is naturally cautious, and he is not in a hurry anyway.

About half an hour later, the Ming army took control of the city's key points.

Zhu Youlang entered the city surrounded by a large army.

After entering the city, Zhu Youlang found that Changsha City really only had 5,000 troops.

And these 5,000 Qing soldiers just don't look like they can fight.

It seems that Hu Quancai did not lie to him.

What about the defeated Hong Chengchou? Where did he go if he didn't return to Changsha?

Zhu Youlang was indeed puzzled.

Hong Chengchou came to Changsha at any cost, and it stands to reason that he will not leave easily.

Something big must have happened in the Qing army that made Hong Chengchou leave in a hurry.

What is it?

Zhu Youlang really couldn't think of it.

But the immediate priority is to pacify the people of the city.

As for these captives, they can only be dispersed to work as coolies first.

The Ming army is not short of people, and even if there is a shortage of people, these scum will not be used.

Zhu Youlang has always been in line with the attitude of preferring shortage to abundance, and will never let the rat feces spoil a pot of porridge.

As for Hu Quancai, Zhou Peigong, Gao Tianjue and others, and some Qing army generals Zhu Youlang did not intend to stay.

Such people are extremely sinful and do not deserve to live in this world, and their execution can comfort the souls of the dead soldiers in heaven.

After the holy decree was issued, Hu Quancai and the others were dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!"

Facing the menacing Ming soldiers, Hu Quancai shouted loudly.

"How can Your Majesty cross the river and tear down the bridge. If I hadn't sacrificed Changsha, how could the Ming army enter the city so easily! ”

"Your Majesty has never promised not to kill you, so why do you come to cross the river and tear down the bridge."

The soldiers of the Ming army sneered: "It was you who were blinded by lard, thinking that you could still survive the great crime." ”

"Come on, drag them away!"

"It's over, it's all over."

Zhou Peigong trembled like chaff, and his face turned pale.

Hu Quancai felt even more angry when he saw him like this.

"Something like a dog actually tricked Bendu into surrendering. Look at Yongli's face, surrender and live? Hahaha..."

But Gao Tianjue didn't say a word, his face was as pale as dirt.

He never had the right to choose.

No matter how Hu Quancai chooses, he can only choose to follow.

He only regretted that he had promised Hu Quancai to be transferred to Changsha.

If he didn't agree at that time, Hu Quancai should have no way to deal with him, right?

But at this point, it was too late to say anything.

Woohoo lament, I can't imagine that today is the day he died.
