Chapter 241: The Fall of the Famous General 2

When the army fled in all directions, Zu Dashou knew that the war had come to an end. Although he also tried to redeem the defeat, it was a pity that the army was defeated, and his personal strength could no longer control the entire army, and his identity as a general was as useless as a nameless corpse on the side of the road.

However, his nephew Wu Sangui is not here, which can be regarded as a relief to himself.

"Help me up".

Due to the previous fight, he was directly knocked to the ground by a war horse, although he was protected by armor, but Zu Dashou clearly felt that the ribs in his body seemed to have been broken at least a few times.

wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and his tone was filled with endless desolation. As for his own soldiers, they also knew that there was no hope of escape at this time, and no matter how much they said, it was just a waste of words, and they no longer persuaded each other, but there was a dead look in their eyes.

For these pro-soldiers, Zu Dashou is their everything, and if Zu Dashou dies, they naturally don't need to live anymore.

Since Dai Shan personally ordered that no one was allowed to kill Zu Dashou, the Jiannu cavalry only besieged these seven or eight people.

After a while, the dense army of Jiannu suddenly revealed a road, and Dai Shan, who was dressed in armor, walked in front of Zu Dashou with a smile on his face.

"General Zu, don't come unharmed."

For Dai Shan's greetings, Zu Dashou, who knew his fate soon, sneered.

"Thanks to your blessings, I am not dead yet."

"Bold, a dying man dares to call the Great Baylor by his name."

A personal soldier of Dai Shan was furious when he saw Zu Dashou directly calling Dai Shan's name, and wanted to draw a knife to kill Zu Dashou's arrogance.

"Presumptuous, which turn is your turn to speak as a minion here, don't hurry back."

For the slight kindness of his subordinates, Dai Shan reprimanded him directly without mercy.

"Yes, master".

The guard bowed his head and stepped aside, not daring to speak.

"Dai Shan, I know what you mean, but I advise you not to waste your words."

Zu Dashou looked at Dai Shan, reprimanding his subordinates, and being kind to himself, knowing in his heart that the other party should want to recruit him. It's a pity that he has received the emperor's favor in his life, and he will never be the treacherous person.

Looking at Zu Dashou's determined expression, Dai Shan was still a little unwilling. For this ancestor who has been fighting in Liaodong for many years, Dai Shan really appreciates it very much. His troops are arranged in formation, and he fights on the battlefield, and he is a senior general who is not weaker than Dajin Guo. If it weren't for the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was too weak, the two sides would not be on the same level at all, and they would not have been defeated so badly.

"General Zu, there is an old saying in the Ming people, it is called a good bird chooses a tree to perch, and a virtuous minister chooses the master to do things. Now in your country, the king is mediocre and traitorous ministers, and it is a pity that a talented person like General Xiang Zuo is not reused, just for a small general soldier.

Now that my Dajin Kingdom is in full swing, the Great Khan is waving his troops south to enter the main pass, and he will not be able to obtain the Daming Dynasty in the future, if General Zu is willing to surrender to my Dajin Kingdom, I dare to guarantee here that I will definitely guarantee you a Baylor position to the Great Khan."

This guarantee of Dai Shan is not insignificant, Baylor, that can only be held by those who love Xinjue Luo. As for the others, they are also the ones who take advantage of the great work. Now Dai Shan actually used a Baylor position to win himself over, which really flattered Zu Dashou.

I want to accept it, but I think that all my family members are in the capital. And his brother-in-law Wu Xiang's nephew Wu Sangui is still alive, if he surrenders, he will inevitably implicate them, not to mention that he knows that his life is short, and the few ribs on his body have pierced his internal organs, and now he is just relying on a will to insist.

"Big Baylor's kindness is appreciated. It's a pity that loyal ministers don't marry two masters, and good women don't marry second husbands. What's more, my ancestral family was favored by the emperor, and the food of the monarch was the king's worries, and the death on the battlefield was the glory of our generals. If the Great Baylor really takes a fancy to him, please bear the infamy of abandoning the Lord and betraying the country."

Zu Dashou directly called Dai Shan poop this time, and it seemed that he was also releasing his kindness.

Dai Shan sighed softly, and he didn't persuade him, he hugged his fists and said: "General Zu walks slowly, presumably General Zu's name will definitely be left in the history of the Qing Dynasty in the future."

Zu Dashou committed suicide, and this general, who had left a strong mark in history, ended his life by suicide. The remaining seven or eight guards also drew their swords one after another and followed each other to death.

"They're all heroes."

Dai Shan looked at the guards who followed the dead and praised them, and then arranged for his subordinates to gather them all together and wait for them to be sent to the Ming army in the future.

"Order the army to clean up the battlefield and rush to Shengjing immediately."

Looking at the battlefield full of corpses, Dai Shan commanded expressionlessly, and at the same time, he was secretly a little anxious about Sheng Jing in his heart.

Before that, he suddenly ordered to quietly leave the camp, and the main purpose was to lure Zu Dashou. Although the final development was indeed as he expected, Zu Dashou's abnormal behavior also attracted the attention of Dai Shan.

It stands to reason that Zu Dashou has been fighting in Liaodong for many years, and the common sense he should have should know. Now it is contrary to usual, the whole army is frantically rushing towards Shengjing City, indicating that there is something important in Shengjing that attracts Zu Dashou, or that Zu Dashou is worried about Shengjing.

I just asked Zu Dashou why he rushed to Shengjing so desperately, but unfortunately he didn't ask anything. For some of the captured Ming prisoners, they didn't know the specific situation at all, only that they had ordered the above to rush to Shengjing at full speed.

Even Zu Dashou's nephew Wu Sangui took the lead and led 2,000 cavalry to Shengjing, as if he was tracking something.

If Zu Dashou wants to rely on 2,000 cavalry to defeat Shengjing, it is simply wishful thinking, after all, Shengjing still has more than 2,000 horses, if it is really dangerous, recruiting some people from the city can completely defend Shengjing.

Another half a day, whether it is to collect or bury the corpses of the Ming army, it will take time. As for letting the corpses of the Ming army be exposed in the wilderness, Dai Shan can't do it, and he doesn't want to do it.

It's not too hot to rot right now, but it's a bit of a wait. The temperature gradually rises, and once these corpses decompose, it is very likely to cause a large-scale plague, which is simply worse for the Dajin Kingdom.

It was nearly noon before the entire army cleaned up the battlefield.

"Yue Tuo, I will leave 1,000 cavalry for you, plus those wounded, you must give me a good rehabilitation of these artillery, as for Ben Tuo, personally lead 5,000 men and horses to Shengjing to prevent accidents."

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he felt a little impatient when he saw that the entire army was moving at an extremely slow pace due to the need to transport artillery and take care of the wounded.

"Yes, Tetsuche".

Yue Tuo, who was thinking about how to give the artillery to Huang Taiji in order to increase Huang Taiji's strength, naturally agreed very much in his heart when he saw that Dai Shan actually directly handed over the artillery to his own management.

If Dai Shan had been guarding these cannons tightly, it would be difficult for him to forcibly send these cannons to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji would naturally not dare to be too strong in order to take care of his courtiers.
