Section XVII
The surrendered Qing cavalry was in a very awkward position, in fact, they did not clearly say that they wanted to surrender to the Han army, but now they have also lost any desire to fight, thousands of people on war horses, holding spears and sabers at a loss, watching the Han soldiers rush over with a tsunami-like shout, and then cross them as if no one was around, as if they did not exist.
Lin Feng rode his horse and galloped, and when he ran to the center of the battlefield, he suddenly realized this serious problem, now there are almost nearly 4,000 Qing cavalry have not disarmed, although there is no hostility at the moment, but in the end it is also a very dangerous thing, seeing the Han army brigade swarming up, the muskets roaring all around, all the Qing soldiers looked at each other in panic, and Lin Feng shouted loudly in a hurry, "...... The Qing brothers took off their hats...... Take off your hat ......"
The pro-soldier team in charge of the order immediately shouted the order, and it spread throughout the battlefield in an instant, and the Han soldiers who were struggling to pursue also repeated loudly when they heard the words, and the three armies shouted, and the Qing army horse team looked a little demented, and the team took off their hats in twos and threes, but most of them hesitated, and the sabers were still clenched in their hands.
Zhou Peigong and Lin Feng rode side by side, his mind was lively, and he immediately came to his senses, seeing that the Qing army was still hesitant and suspicious, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and added the order without authorization, "...... Brothers of the Qing army, the commander has an order: capture the people who want to capture the sea alive...... Reward 5,000 silver, give 100 acres of land, and be promoted to two levels......" As soon as the words came out, the soldiers next to him did not doubt him, and immediately spread this sentence loudly.
As soon as this remark came out, the Qing army that took the lead in mutiny and attacked the warlord immediately accelerated on horseback, and chased closely in the direction of Tuhai's escape, and for a time left Zhao Guangyuan's Han cavalry behind, and the other Qing troops also dismounted at this moment, whispering their mounts, making way for the charging Han army, obviously, they did not want to continue to fight with the Han army, nor did they want to chase and kill their former colleagues.
Seeing the surrendered Qing army looking obedient, Lin Feng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he had already run to the front of the Qing army, suddenly pulled the reins, the war horse under the crotch fluttered uneasily, slowly slowed down, he pushed away Li Ergou, who was guarding in front of him, and rushed into the Qing soldiers alone, shouting loudly, "I am Lin Feng, do you have a leader?" Come out and talk!! β
A group of Qing soldiers looked at each other, looking at the arrogant "enemy chief" of a single horse in disbelief, for a time no one dared to step forward to answer, the horse's hooves sounded sharply, the pro-soldiers behind were stunned, and then desperately slammed the war horse, the standard-bearer held high the word "forest", hurriedly followed, rode the horse to stand on the reins, the flagpole slammed on the ground, banging, the recent Qing soldiers couldn't help but look up, the plain white handsome flag hunting sounded.
"What about your chief? Are there any gasps? Come out and talk!! Lin Feng shouted loudly.
A knight slowly threw off the saddle and dismounted, walked slowly on foot, and approached and made a shallow shot, "Defeated Sun Sike, I have seen it...... I've seen the Han army Lin Marshal! Without waiting for Lin Feng to give in, he stood up on his own, squinted his eyes, and looked up at the young man opposite.
"Sun Sike?!" Lin Feng frowned, suddenly seemed to remember something, smiled, didn't mind Sun Sike's rude behavior, and said with a smile, "General Sun is too polite - I don't know what position the general is now?!" β
Sun Sike hugged his fists and said, "In the next ...... The next position of deputy general under the Tujun Gate Account! β
"Oh, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Lin Feng jumped off the horse with a smile, grabbed Sun Sike's hand affectionately, and deliberately said loudly, "I said Lao Sun, our brothers here are all mixed with rice on the knife edge, and I don't want to talk about those scenes-do you know the official positions in our Han army?!" β
Sun Sike was cramped and uneasy, he had an introverted personality, the person in front of him was still your mortal enemy just now, at this moment he was suddenly affectionately holding his shoulders, feeling like thousands of ants crawling on his back, very uncomfortable, hearing Lin Feng's words, he stammered, "Dashuai atonement...... I heard that the duties of your army are simple, and the names of each military department are called: squad, company, platoon, brigade, etc., and each of the above has a general and a colonel to lead ......"
"Almost!" Lin Feng laughed, turned his head and glanced at the Qing army beside him, and said loudly with relief, "Don't talk about 'your army' or 'your army', now we are all a family, and those who stir spoons in a pot are all Han army brothers!" The last four words bite very hard.
He patted Sun Sike on the shoulder, "Old Sun, I don't like to come to the void - what do you think of the position of brigade commander?!! Seeing that Sun Sike raised his head and wanted to resign, Lin Feng waved his hand and continued, "This brigade commander, probably means to bring two thousand men and horses, no way, we have a small shelf now, we can only be wronged......" He patted Sun Sike on the shoulder heavily, not giving him any chance to speak at all, pointing at the surrounding Qing army and laughing, "So many brothers are looking at you, it seems that you are also a good man, I don't think you will dislike the official position is too small, right?!" β
Sun Sike looked strange, he didn't know what to say for a while, Mu Na stood there at a loss, Lin Feng smiled, walked around behind him, suddenly pulled out his waist knife, pinched his braid and slashed it off, holding half of his hair and announcing loudly, "From now on, General Sun Sike is the general of my Han army," he looked back at his own soldiers and beckoned, "What are you doing in a daze, haven't you seen Brigade Commander Sun?!" β
Zhou Peigong turned over and dismounted with a grin, and bowed to the end, "Humble Zhou Peigong, I've seen General Sun!" Seeing this, the soldiers behind him also jumped off their horses and saluted Sun Sike, who was so panicked that Sun Sike could not return the salute.
Seeing that the Qing soldiers around him all showed envious looks, Lin Feng suddenly turned over and gave a loud order, "Soldiers, listen to my orders - get on the horse!" β¦β¦β
The Qing army was stunned for a while, and when they saw Lin Feng's personal soldiers jumping on their horses quickly, they suddenly realized that they had changed masters, and hurriedly turned over their horses.
ββ¦β¦ Draw the knife!! β¦β¦β
With a sound of "huh-", the cavalrymen had no time to think, and pulled out their sabers, all of them well-trained, and rows of blades stood neatly shoulder to shoulder, shining in the sun.
ββ¦β¦ Cut off the braids!! β
The cavalrymen were stunned when they heard the sound, looked at each other and looked a little hesitant, Sun Sike, who was standing at the front, gritted his teeth, suddenly took off his hat, pulled the remaining half of his hair, and put it on the back of his neck across the saber, and his long scattered hair suddenly rose and fell down.
"Cut off the braids!! -" Lin Feng dragged out his voice and shouted sharply.
The cavalrymen no longer hesitated, and thousands of long knives were swung in unison, cutting off the braids and necks.
"Soldiers," Lin Feng's face was solemn, looking at the cavalry coldly, seeing that the soldiers were furious in their hearts, they were silent for a long time, and when everyone was uneasy, he suddenly smiled slightly, his cold face thawed like a spring breeze, and said loudly with a pleasant face: "The brothers who joined the Han army today have a family in Beijing who will give them a house, twenty acres of dry land, and twenty taels of silver!! β
Thousands of cavalry were startled, and they didn't even come back for a while, only to see Lin Feng turn his head, stretch out his hand to beckon Sun Sike and Li Ergou, and command loudly, "General Sun, you find two brothers who are familiar with military affairs, and go to Beijing with my personal army captain, and divide the houses and fields slowly, and put down the rations of the brothers' families first!" He smiled and said, "Old Sun, don't you know, there are too many displaced people in Gyeonggi now, and the price of food remains high?!! β
Sun Sike looked at Lin Feng in a daze, stunned for a while, and finally bowed down, and said convincingly, "The handsome man has a life, Sike don't dare to disobey!" β
Lin Feng laughed, pulled out his waist knife, and pointed obliquely at the sky, "Everyone listen: capture Tuhai alive, reward 10,000 yuan in silver, 100 acres of land, and be promoted to the third level of official - if you want to get rich, come with me!" With a clip on the horse's belly, he led his own soldiers to rush out first.
Thousands of people burst into laughter, and the cavalry behind them shouted loudly, laughing and scolding in the south and north, and instigated their war horses one after another, looking at the word "Lin" and following closely.
The Han infantry was too excited after the victory, and after running a few miles like crazy, they were a little unbearable, this phenomenon appeared, Lin Feng felt a little frustrated, to be honest, he and some of his generals should also be responsible for the leadership, looking at these soldiers under his command lying on the ground like ants moving, Lin Feng couldn't help but regret greatly: some time ago, the Han army blindly paid attention to the queue and combat skills training, but never thought of engaging in forced marches or anything, so that the current Han army is like a group of American GIs- Why have we forgotten the glorious traditions of our party and our army? If you can fight, you have to be able to run.
On the battlefield of this plain terrain, Tuhai still couldn't run away after all, in fact, he can't be blamed for this, the costume designers of the ancestors of the Eight Banners should be responsible for this: Tuhai's team of guards are all genuine Eight Banner Jurchens, and the clothes on their bodies are not only expensive, but also quite chic, the armor is covered with large and small nails, and there is a long lightning rod on the head, it can be imagined that in such a sunny weather, It's hard for this glowing guy to go unnoticed.
Although from time to time, a small group of Eight Banners soldiers turned around and tried their best to block them, but they did not play any role in such a disparity in strength, and soon Tu Hai found that he had no way out, and a long canal stopped in front of them.
This river is actually not a canal, her official name is "Sand River", but Lin Feng's group of uneducated outsiders directly rowed her to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, this season is late autumn, although the river is not abundant, but there is no problem to drown hundreds of people.
When Lin Feng led the brigade to arrive, the fierce battle was nearing the end, and when this small army of Tuhai fled here, there were less than two hundred horsemen left, seeing that they were in a desperate situation, these fierce soldiers burst out with astonishing combat effectiveness, and collectively turned their horses around and launched a suicidal counter-charge towards the Han army's pursuers, of course, bravery at this time could not solve the problem, but unexpectedly, the most ferocious battle among the chasing soldiers was not Zhao Guangyuan's Han cavalry, but the first to fight against the water, the first to pursue the group of surrendered soldiers, In the face of the desperate counterattack of the elite Eight Banners, these cavalry did not show weakness to attack against attack, fiercely launched an attack in front of the Han army, and even did not hesitate to exchange their lives for their lives when the battle was the most fierce, looking at such a scene, Zhao Guangyuan and then rushed to Zhou Peigong were all dumbfounded - Lin Feng still understood them, this phenomenon is a typical traitor psychology to put it bluntly, countless events in later generations have proved this theory, when people after the rebellion are guilty, fearful and uncertain about the future, It often produces a mild schizophrenia, and treats former colleagues even more ferociously than enemies.
Under the gaze of thousands of people, Zhao Guangyuan pressed the last reserve team up, and the last bit of armed force of Commander Tu Hai collapsed in an instant, and the group of troops brutally cut the dying wounded soldiers on the ground into pieces one by one, and gathered to surround Tu Hai and the last dozen or so officers.
"Stop attacking!! ββ" Several heralds rode up from behind, shouting loudly, which surprised the cavalry participating in the battle below, Zhao Guangyuan turned his head in amazement, turned his head to look at the bloody Tuhai not far away, swallowed his saliva unwillingly, and loudly restrained his subordinates to carry out military orders.
The herald rushed to the battlefield, rushed into the crowd without slowing down, and shouted from afar, "Tuhai - to descend?!" β¦β¦β
As soon as the words came out, in addition to the cavalry who had just surrendered, Lin Feng's personal troops and the cavalry of the Han army shouted together, "...... To drop or not to fall?! - To descend or not to fall?! ......More than 1,000 people raised their weapons and spears like a forest, and they were in the aftermath of a hundred battles, directly pressing the enemy.
The shouting gradually faded, and finally gradually disappeared, everyone held their breath, and the battlefield was silent for a while. Under the gaze of thousands of hateful, excited, sympathetic, and guilty eyes, Tu Hai rode his horse with a knife, wheezing violently with his body on his back, coughing loudly, and every time he coughed, more than a dozen wounds on his body were blood spraying wildly, gurgling down the horse's body, and between a few breaths, a shallow stall had gathered under the horse's hooves.
Tu Hai's eyes widened blankly, and he shuttled left and right among the enemy troops opposite, as if looking for something, at this moment he only felt weak, and it was very difficult to even hold the saber, and he suddenly realized that he was already an old man in his fifties, and he was no longer a fierce warrior.
The enemy army on the opposite side cracked left and right like a tide, and a plain white flag appeared in his eyes, Tu Hai squinted his eyes, and looked at the word "forest" in the wind in a daze, his eyes slowly fell, and a young man rode on a war horse, looking at himself with pity.
The sun is so dazzling.
Tuhai smiled bitterly, he slowly sat up straight, reached out and stroked the mane of the war horse, the tired horse shook his head, affectionately added his fingers, leaned down and continued to greedily gnaw on the tender grass by the river.
Tu Hai touched his head pityingly, slowly raised his head, stretched out his palm, and stretched out a thumbs up to Lin Feng from afar. Just as Lin Feng was staring in surprise, he suddenly raised the saber with his backhand, strangled it across his neck, and his tall body fell down violently.
More than a dozen officers by the river looked up to the sky with grief and indignation, and stabbed themselves together.
Lin Feng sighed and waved his hand weakly, "Cut off his headβa thick burial!" Just when Zhou Peigong was stunned by this contradictory order, Lin Feng suddenly pulled the reins, neighed his horse, and led the pro-soldier brigade away.
