Whether it was Yang Feng or the surrounding officers, they could clearly see that almost all of these corpses lying on the ground were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and they did not have any weapons or protective armor in their hands, which undoubtedly told them that the people they killed last night were some unarmed civilians.

Just when Yang Feng was silent with a blushing face, Song Ye walked up to him and whispered, "Grandpa Guo, if you don't collect reports at night, all the thieves in Anqing Mansion have fled last night, and now there is no trace of the thieves in Anqing City." ”

Yang Feng smiled angrily: "Okay...... Okay, it seems that we all underestimated this Tian Jianxiu, and even the golden cicada came out of its shell, we have tens of thousands of troops, and we were actually tricked by thousands of thieves. ”

Gou Xingma, Yan Di and other generals and officers were silent, and their faces were full of shame.

They originally thought that they would wait until tomorrow morning to command the army to besiege the city, and then launch a general attack, but they never thought that the other party would use the night to drive the people to attack the camp, mistakenly thinking that the thieves were going to fight back desperately, but they didn't expect the main force of the thieves to slip away while the Jiangning army was busy.

Such a result was like a slap in the face of the generals.

"Grandpa Guo!"

Yan Di stood up and said loudly: "The last general is willing to lead his men and horses to immediately chase after the thieves, and he must annihilate all these daring thieves." ”

"Grandpa Guo, the last general is also willing to go!"

"The last general is also willing to go!"

A famous general stood up and asked for battle.

Looking at the excited generals and Yang Feng, who was still calm and silent, Gou Xingma on the side shook his head helplessly, these people still can't see it, what makes Grandpa Guo angry the most is not that these thieves dare to attack the Jiangning army camp at night, but the people of Anqing Mansion who were expelled to death in vain.

Yang Feng looked at a general who asked for battle, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, only to see him say with a gloomy face: "Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers, and last night the thieves took the opportunity to counterattack a wave, of course, this is because of the miscalculation of the father, but we have nothing to lose, so the father is not very angry, this is still the amount of the father."

But what makes Bengong feel most unacceptable is that these thieves did not hesitate to substitute thousands of innocent people in the city for their lives in order to be able to escape for themselves. ”

Yang Feng sighed in his heart as he spoke, although he could be regarded as having experienced dozens of battles, but when it came to it, the people who fought with him before were either Manchu Tartars or Dutch or Spaniards, and the two countries naturally used everything to fight each other, no matter how vicious the other party's tactics were, it was normal.

But now these thieves are orthodox Ming people, and in order to survive, they can push out the people who are also Ming people without hesitation to send them to death, which really gives him another layer of understanding of human nature.

After pondering for a while, Yang Feng said: "Since the thieves have fled, the baggage camp left 500 people to bury the bodies of the people here, and then posted a notice to appease the people, and gave the court an excerpt to explain the situation here, and asked the court to send officials to Anqing to serve again."

Yan Di led the men and horses of his headquarters to pursue the Ningguo Mansion, and the Duke personally led the rest of the men and horses to pursue the Huizhou Mansion, and then sent someone to inform Cao Yingmao to find out the direction of the escape of this group of thieves and stop them, and they must not let them make peace with Li Zicheng! Do you understand everything? ”

"Whoa!"

Just when Yang Feng personally led the army to pursue Ningguo Mansion and Huizhou Mansion, Tian Wenxiu also fled frantically towards Ningguo Mansion with more than 3,000 Liukou.

Daming is a country lacking horses, although in recent years with the annexation of Mongolia and the fall of the Manchu Tartars, the situation has been improved to a certain extent, but horses are still a scarce resource in Daming.

Even cavalry is scarce in the Ming Dynasty, let alone rogues. Among the more than 3,000 rogues led by Tian Jianxiu, the ones who could own horses were those leaders above the head of the post and the head of the department and their personal guards.

After a night of running for their lives, except for those who had horses, the rest of the people were already exhausted.

After the sky was bright, a department general looked at the team that had already been dragged into a long snake formation in front and back, and said to Tian Jianxiu: "Master Tian, the brothers have been running all night, and they are already too tired to work, so let them stop and rest for a while and eat something before leaving?" Otherwise, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to hold on! ”

Tian Jianxiu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, pass the order and let the brothers stop and rest for an hour." ”

"Great!"

When the general manager heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Tian Ye has an order, everyone stops and rests for half an hour, drinks water and eats, and sets off on time after an hour." ”

The old camp thieves who were riding horses also divided into several horses and ran towards the two ends respectively, conveying Tian Jianxiu's orders as they ran.

After hearing the words of the general minister, the rogues on the road sat on the ground one by one as if they were amnesty.

Some of the rogues who were in charge of the meal were collecting firewood and fetching water, and soon set up a large pot and began to boil water, and when the water boiled, they poured all the rice, wheat, sorghum, dried sweet potatoes and other grains they carried with them into the pot, and then put some salt, so they boiled a large pot of miscellaneous grains, and then distributed them to the rogues to eat.

Of course, the above is just the food of ordinary rogues, and the leaders of Tian Jianxiu and other sentinel chiefs and department chiefs are naturally not in this ranks.

Tian Jianxiu, three department chiefs, and more than a dozen sentinel chiefs sat next to a slightly flat big stone together, each holding a bowl of rice, and some dried meat and vegetables in the bowl, and a large bowl of tea in front of them, and the group ate with relish.

A department general ate two large bowls of rice in a row, and drank the tea in front of him cleanly, and then exhaled: "Happy...... A few years ago, my biggest wish every day was to be able to eat enough, and if I could please a mother-in-law with a big ass again, I would be blind to death, and this wish has now come true. ”

Another general manager next to him scolded with a smile: "Lao Wang, you can not only eat a full meal now, but also be a groom every night, can you die now?" ”

"Hahaha......"

The leaders around them all burst out laughing.

The general manager surnamed Wang glared at everyone after being laughed at by everyone, "You know, since I joined the rebel army, I can indeed eat enough, and I also rebelled and killed a lot of people with King Chuang, even the rich lady slept a few, but who would think that a good life is too much?"

I heard that this Jiangnan is the richest in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and when I follow King Chuang into Hangzhou Mansion, I must sleep with a few official ladies, and this life will not be in vain. ”

"Right...... I also think so, don't forget to call us when the time comes. ”

The thieves laughed wickedly.
