Chapter 118: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

An Bangyan died in the chaos, not everyone was happy, at least Zhu Xieyuan was a little depressed.

The rebels are already the turtles in the urn, and according to Zhu Xieyuan's own small abacus, it is naturally best to capture An Bangyan alive.

At the beginning of the year, Zhu Xieyuan had already heard of the triumphal ceremony that shook the Beijing Division, and Zhu Xieyuan also wanted to escort An Bangyan to Beijing for a grand prisoner sacrifice ceremony, so as to show his face in front of the Son of Heaven.

But all this disappeared with An Bangyan's death, and Zhu Xieyuan couldn't hold a bloody person on his head to Beijing to offer a prisoner.

Since the first rebellion of luxury was pacified during the Apocalypse, Zhu Xieyuan has been the governor of Sichuan for six years, and Zhu Xieyuan also wants to change places, of course, it is best to be able to enter the court as an official, and the Shangshu of the Six Ministries is his first choice.

'Alas, the time is also, and the life is also. ’

Zhu Xieyuan looked at An Bangyan's corpse, sighed in his heart, and then changed his expression, followed by a group of officers and soldiers rejoicing.

More than 10,000 Ming troops raided 30,000 rebels, and it was still in an open area, even if the siege was tight, naturally there were many fish that slipped through the net.

The General Staff Department of the New Army also expected this result in the early stage, so when the situation on the battlefield was certain, the officers and men of the New Army all turned over and galloped away in the direction of the rebel rear.

The soldiers are very fast, and the rebels who escaped may not have defected to the rear team, and when the rebel rear army knows the situation here, it will be difficult to annihilate them all.

Of course, Zhu Xieyuan, Du Wenhuan, Qin Liangyu and others naturally would not let the new army have this last piece of fleshy bone alone, leaving most of them to clean up the battlefield, and their own soldiers were sent out together.

Thousands of cavalry hurried along the official road in the mountains, and although the road was narrow and the speed could not be fast, the four-legged ones were faster than the two-legged ones, and in just an hour, the scouts sent out discovered the whereabouts of the rear team.

In fact, the rear of the rebel army of Yu Chongming was only a day's journey from the Chinese army, less than twenty miles away, and the war horses could fight back and forth in half an hour.

But the news brought back by the scout was not very good, and it seemed that Yu Chongming already knew the fact that the Chinese army was raided by the Ming army, and as for whether he had learned the news that the Chinese army had been completely annihilated, the scout was not sure.

However, Yu Chongming's rear army has not yet collapsed on its own, and it should not be known the result of the raid, or it may be that he is waiting for the result of the raid, as long as the situation is not right, it is not impossible to collapse immediately.

For the cunning rabbit-like extravagant Chongming, this kind of response has long been familiar.

As early as the first Extravagant Rebellion, after his own side was defeated by the official army, he slipped away under the noses of the official army, and there were still a lot of elites around him.

Extravagant Chongming's keen sense of smell on the battlefield is beyond the reach of An Bangyan, who has many soldiers and generals.

It is not so much that Yu Chongming is waiting for the results of the battle between the officers and rebels in front, it is better to say that he is ready to slip away.

For an enemy like Lu Chongming, Lu Xiangsheng had no good way, so he could only send scouts to cover the battlefield and try to delay Hao Chongming's sources.

In addition, he ordered the regiment of the new army to lay down its baggage, ride forward, and quickly rush up to bite the opponent first.

Today, when the sky was just dawning, Yu Chongming, who was still asleep, learned the bad news that the Chinese army had been raided by an unknown number of Ming troops.

Yu Chongming immediately made a decision, ordered the camp to be suspended, and sent scouts to investigate.

Between the lightning and flint, Yu Chongming has already made his own plans, if An Bangyan has the advantage, he will personally lead the elite to rush to the rescue, if the official army has the advantage, he will quickly turn into the mountains and forests.

Therefore, the scout liaison with the Chinese army is the key to his decision-making.

Under normal circumstances, the scouts who could go back once in half an hour, but they did not return in time after being dispatched, and seeing that it was about to be an hour, Yu Chongming couldn't sit still.

If the scouts go and don't return, something must be wrong, and if the scouts can be covered, it will naturally be because the war on the Chinese side is not effective.

Although he has not yet received accurate information, he is already planning to run away.

But because of the order to send people under the fence, he was afraid that An Bangyan would have no way back if he turned the tables, and he turned in, and he was so late that he couldn't make up his mind.

But at this moment, a pro-soldier stumbled in.

"Marshal, our scouts and the scouts of the Ming army have engaged!"

'It's coming so fast! ’

Extravagant Chongming secretly slandered, without more hesitation, since the Ming army has sent scouts, the war on the Chinese side will be known without probing.

As soon as the order was given, the rebels in charge of the palace packed their bags and prepared to move towards the mountains and forests, and Yu Chongming took the lead, leading his henchmen and elites to take the lead in action.

But the news of the defeat of the Chinese army did not know who leaked it, and for a while, the rear team of the rebels was in a mess, and the rhythm of Yu Chongming's escape was slightly slowed down.

But fortunately, Luxury Chongming is experienced, and the sudden chaos is only a small episode, and it does not interfere with Luxury Chongming's decision to escape.

Yu Chongming saw clearly that the 30,000 Chinese troops did not resist the surprise attack of the Ming army, and these rabbles would not be the opponents of the Ming army.

Sure enough, when Yu Chongming had just jumped out of the chaotic rebel camp, he saw a pair of superb cavalry rushing to the front of the camp.

The pair of cavalry did not hesitate at all, and it was only in an instant that they dismounted and lined up, and then a small formation of more than thirty people formed and began to shoot at the chaotic rebels.

It turned out to be the Ming army in Changpoling.

Yu Chongming, who escaped from the ascension to heaven, was immediately afraid, if he acted a little late, he would definitely be beaten into a sieve.

Without looking at the battlefield again, surrounded by his own soldiers, Yu Chongming turned around and ran towards the dense forest.

The soldiers of the New Army, which were divided into platoons, rushed into the camp of the rebels, which was the standard formation of the New Army to pursue the routers, and it was also the inspiration that Zhu Youzhen got from Qi Jiguang.

The denser the line is when fighting, the better, and when pursuing, you need to use a more flexible squad.

A platoon of thirty people, when fighting against a rout, is naturally the best.

And the rebel soldiers who were still taking advantage of the chaos to grab property also saw the Ming army catching up at this time, and when they saw clearly that it was the Ming army in Changpoling, even the thoughts of resistance disappeared instantly, and only the idea of running for their lives was left in their minds.

A volley of guns rang out, and the rebel camp immediately resounded with the wails of sergeants, followed by a mist of blood that bloomed like flowers.

In fact, these rebels also had a chance to flee for their lives, but because of their greed for money, they thought that the Ming army would not come so soon, and thought of taking advantage of the chaos to grab some of their comrades' goods.

So along with the looted goods, the heads of these rebels also became the trophies of the Ming army.
