Chapter 129: Don't hesitate
If Wu Sanshui was still there or some of the generals of those routs were still resisting, even if the cavalry of the Qing soldiers was still there, maybe those Qing soldiers who surrendered would not have surrendered so quickly.
However, even if the Qing soldiers were fleeing, many of them noticed that their infantry had been abandoned, but the anti-thieves on the opposite side had cavalry.
How is it possible to outrun four legs on two legs? Since there is a risk of being killed if you continue to escape, it is better to surrender safely. Anyway, there are quite a few of my own peers who have done this.
In the eyes of the Qing soldiers who surrendered, the generals above could not take their lives seriously, but they could not be so stupid. Surrender can save your life, who is willing to resist and die.
As a result, a large number of Qing soldiers who surrendered on their knees appeared on the entire battlefield.
……
"Sixth brother, it's another big victory!" Chen Taiping looked at the situation on the battlefield and said happily
"So it seems. Taiping, the order went down to let the brothers of the cavalry chase down the Qing army to the place where the Qing army was stationed before, and take down their grain and grass. Don't let them burn the grain and grass," Zhang Rui said, looking at the battlefield
"Let the brethren of the cavalry take care of their safety in everything. Then he informed Zhang Zhishan and asked him to take the brothers of the Loyal and Brave Regiment to meet the cavalry. ”
"Okay, Sixth Brother. But are you afraid that those enemy troops will turn around and fight back? Chen Taiping thought for a while and said
"Don't be afraid. It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. Zhang Rui replied
Chen Taiping didn't read much, so naturally he didn't understand the specific meaning of what Zhang Rui said. But it sounds like a very powerful look, and Chen Taiping, who has blind admiration for Zhang Rui, naturally won't ask more.
"Yes, Sixth Brother. I'm going to pass it on. ”
……
When Zhang Rui returned to the camp where Li Shiyao had been stationed before with many prisoners, Yang Yingju, who received the news, was stunned for a long time before believing the truth of the matter.
"I really didn't expect Zhang Rui, a thief, to have such strength, it seems that it's not a good thing that Lord Banzai forced him to rebel." Yang Yingju looked at the many captives who were escorted back and said
"Exactly. In one day, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses defeated 16,000 Qing soldiers. With such strength, we can't complain that we have been so miserable before. Sitku said with fear in his heart
At this time, Sitku was very happy in his heart. Because he doesn't have to care about the soldiers and horses of Liangguang anymore. As for a ruthless character like Zhang Rui, it should be so "cleaned up", which will be left to Wan Sui Ye and the court to have a headache.
Now, after seeing Zhang Rui's strength, Sitku can't wait for Zhang Rui to immediately let him pay the ransom and let him leave. At this moment, Sitku is from the bottom of his heart, wanting to leave Liangguang, a place that can break out at any time.
"I really can't complain about our fiasco, and I don't know what happened to Li Shiyao now." Yang Yingju said with some concern.
Sitku could have left Liangguang, but he, the governor of Liangguang, couldn't. Today, Zhang Rui's strength is so strong. If Li Shiyao really can't beat Zhang Rui, then Liangguang is not dangerous.
Although Zhang Rui was still quietly staying in Zhilian Mountain at this time, as Zhang Rui continued to win, he would definitely start attacking the city and plundering the land. At that time, even if the imperial court can send a large army to exterminate Zhang Rui, it will be the end of his life.
Yang Yingju really hopes that Li Shiyao will give this thief a blow, so that he can continue to stay in Zhilian Mountain in peace. At least it can bring Yang Yingju to leave the position of the governor of Liangguang.
……
In the evening, the campfire was bright
Although Zhang Rui and his gang were not far from the camp, it took a lot of time to fight and capture prisoners, so when Zhang Rui and the others came back, the sky was slowly darkening.
After an afternoon of fighting, the cooks also brought up dinner.
The food of the bandit army and the green battalion soldiers who had defected to Zhang Rui was naturally much better than that of the captive soldiers who refused to surrender.
The bandits ate large bowls of white rice, large pieces of meat and stuffed soybeans. As for the captives, they could only eat coarse rice and pickles.
The captives still want to eat meat? That's embarrassing. This is the year when meat is precious. A captive could not be happier to have hot rice and eat with pickles. If anyone dares to make trouble, it will really be shameless, and the bandit army will not dare to kill people.
Those captives who were reluctant to vote for Zhang Rui were hungry for the food of the bandit army, but they could also understand this. After all, no matter how rich Zhang Rui is, there is no reason to give the captives the same food as his own people. Especially in this era, it is not easy to eat meat.
It was only when the smell of the meat stewed in those pots wafted over that the captives were hungry. Even when they watched the bandit army eat the meat, the saliva in the corners of their mouths couldn't help but flow out.
"Hey, aren't you the concubine of the Nimatsa clan? Why did you, a man from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, run over to eat meat? Yuan Wuliu, a green battalion soldier who was reluctant to vote for Zhang Rui in the green battalion in Guangzhou, said
"Less nonsense, why can't I come? My mother is Han. It's not like you don't know what I'm called in that house. I saw the angry words of the young man who was said by Yuan Wuliu
"Indeed, none of them have acknowledged your existence. Untouchable Yang didn't, but they didn't even give you a surname. After listening to Yang Wu's words, Yuan Wuliu said with some mockery
"I don't understand, why are you here? According to the reason should be Nimacha. Is it right to come over with virtue and talent? Yuan Wuliu said with some doubts
"Why? Because of my cheap life, my mother is Han and should be looked down upon by them. That guy was afraid of death, so he pushed me to come over and take his job. Yang said angrily
"Even then, you can't vote for the thief! You're not afraid of being beheaded? Will it affect your mother? Yuan Wuliu said persuasively
"Love is what it is! I think the sixth brother is right. If you live like this for the rest of your life, you will die a vigorous death. I, Yang, am not a Han with the surname Yang from today onwards, not a Manchurian. Saying that, Yang didn't pick up the meat in the bowl and ate it heavily
Yang hadn't forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten meat, because he really could figure out when the last time he had eaten meat.
Yang Wei's mother is Yang, a peasant girl. Once, Yang Wu's father was the Manchurian Nimatsa. He Lai robbed his mother when he went to the countryside, and later had him.
Because the Manchus and the Han did not intermarry, Yang did not naturally report it and became a "noble" Manchu at that time.
And that's not all. Although Yang gave birth to Yang, there was no improvement in the low position. If it weren't for Yang, his mother would have committed suicide.
Because of his childhood experience and the unfair abuse his mother received, Yang didn't hate the Nimatsa family in his heart. It is precisely because of this that he was so touched by Zhang Rui's words and did not hesitate to vote for Zhang Rui.
