Chapter 281: The Bloody Battle in Pingxiang (6)
Many Qing troops either tripped and fell on the way to escape, or slipped because the mud caused by the rain was too slippery. Soon a number of deserters were apprehended. If they resist, they will be killed, and if they do not resist, they will be taken back as prisoners.
On the battlefield, Zhang Yang ordered the slaughter to stop, wiped the rain from his face with his hands, and shouted: "Everyone listen, put down your weapons and make an exception to accept surrender!" Lay down your arms, get on your knees, and surrender! If you resist, don't hesitate! Zhang Yang shouted, and suddenly countless Qing soldiers put down their weapons one after another. However, many Qing troops still scattered and fled.
Zhang Yang is famous for not accepting prisoners, when he was crisscrossing the grasslands, he killed a lot of people, even in the entire Pingbei army there are not many generals who killed more people than him, after defeating the Tatar tribe, he only accepts women, as for men and old people, the final fate is to be ruthlessly slaughtered.
On the battlefield, in addition to the fleeing soldiers and those who surrendered, there were thousands of people who were making the last struggle, they did not want to surrender, and the unknown fate made them dare not surrender so hastily. Since they became soldiers, they have surrendered to various forces many times, which force does not use them as tools to kill people, and does not give them good treatment at all, and now the generals of the Qing army have abandoned them fiercely.
The two sides continue to stalemate.
At this time, tens of thousands of troops suddenly came from the southern black pressure, including cavalry and infantry, and it turned out that these troops were the Violent Bear Brigade and Long Xiangwei led by Liu Xia in the rear. Liu Xia's arrival was just right, although Ying Yangwei defeated the 20,000 troops, but he did not control the situation on the battlefield at this time.
Now on the battlefield, some Qing troops are fleeing, some are kneeling on the ground and have surrendered, and some thousands of people are gathering together to make a final resistance.
A heavy rain soon stopped again, and the ground was covered with water. The mud trampled everywhere, and the original yellow earth turned red because of the blood. It was a hot day in August, and when the rain ended, countless mosquitoes began to lay eggs on the swollen corpses that had been soaked by the rain. At the same time, the clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the long-lost sunshine.
"Rainbow! Look at the rainbow! ”
"There really is a rainbow!"
"This rainbow is so big! Look, there's another one over there! Another one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine, a total of nine rainbows! ”
"Nine rainbows! How can there be so many, I've never seen so many rainbows in most of my life, it's amazing! ”
"It's really strange, isn't the god descending to earth!" I don't know whose words made many soldiers agree.
I saw that there were nine rainbows of different sizes in the sky, which were very colorful and beautiful, and many soldiers knelt down to worship the rainbow. In ancient times, people didn't know what the rainbow was formed, and thought it was a god in the sky, so they knelt down one after another.
What's more, this time it is nine rainbows, which is extraordinary, and it makes people feel that it must have a special meaning.
At the same time, Liu Xia knew the situation on the battlefield at this time, and immediately sent the Violent Bear Brigade to capture the deserters, while Long Xiangwei chased after the fleeing Ao Bai and Haoge. At this time, Pingxiang City, which was tightly closed with the city gate, also slowly opened the city gate, only to see hundreds of cavalry rushing out of the city, led by Zhang Yuan and Li Wen.
When Li Wen was on the top of the city tower, he saw the nine rainbows in the sky, and he was very shocked, he had never heard of the situation where nine rainbows appeared in the sky at once, his face suddenly became happy, and he had a plan in his heart, so he couldn't wait to urge Zhang Yuan to bring the soldiers to Liu Xia.
The two bowed to Liu Xia, and then Zhang Yuan reported to Liu Xia about the previous Qing army. At this time, Li Wen suddenly knelt down heavily to Liu Xia, his face was unusually solemn, and he said respectfully: "Mortal Li Wen greets Emperor Ziwei!" ”
Li Wenyan said, not only Liu Xia was confused by him, but thousands of people next to him were even more confused by this sentence. They all looked at Li Wen curiously.
Liu Xia frowned and said, "Mr. Li, you are-"
Li Wen said highly: "Lord Wang, you are a god descending from heaven, and Ziwei has come to the world!" It was the Jade Emperor who saw the chaos in the world, the people of Li were uneasy, the society collapsed, and the etiquette was corrupted, so that the Ziwei Emperor threw himself into the mortal dust, reworked all day long, and restored the community, and that prince was the body of the Ziwei Emperor in the world! ”
Li Wenyan's words immediately caused a large number of soldiers to be surprised, and they all looked at Liu Xia with more awe.
"When the prince came, it was gloomy and thunder and lightning roared. Rain sprinkled the sky. Now that the prince has come here, the gloomy sky has instantly become bright and bright, and a rainbow is hanging in the sky, isn't this a miracle? ”
Liu Xia naturally knew that what Li Wen said was false, but he was also very comfortable in his heart, but now Liu Xia couldn't agree to such words casually. Ziwei is a symbol of the emperor, if it is said that Liu Xianai was born as the emperor of Ziwei, then doesn't it mean that Liu Xianai is the emperor? For example, the current situation is still unclear today, the world is still officially divided, and the hearts of many scholars and doctors are still facing Nanming, Liu Xia can't admit it now.
Liu Xia looked at Li Wen, only to see Li Wen constantly squeezing his eyes at Liu Xia, and then shook his head, signaling Liu Xia not to agree. The reason why he said this this time was to leave a seed for the soldiers, and then let this seed slowly sprout and grow in the hearts of the soldiers, and Liu Xia can't agree now, once he agrees, it will inevitably have a great impact, and there will be many people who will rebel and attack him.
So Liu Xia's face sank, and he reprimanded: "This king reads that you are the hero of this war, don't worry about you in general, don't say more, otherwise you will be killed!" Go now! After that, Liu Xia didn't even look at Li Wen, but Li Wen was extremely uncomfortable, and cried: "Since the emperor is unwilling to tell the truth, the mortal Li Wen naturally does not dare to speak, and only asks the emperor to take pity on the people of the world and save them from fire and water!" ”
"This king is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be the reincarnation of the emperor? Don't you see that His Majesty in Nanjing is a genius of Jingwei, diligent and loving the government, thrifty and self-disciplined, loving the people like a son, where does this king dare to cross the pond half a step? ”
Liu Xia said, and suddenly many soldiers were dissatisfied, what is the Hongguang Emperor of Nanjing, who in the world doesn't know, who doesn't know? If he had loved his people as a son, there would be no wicked man in the world. So the soldiers believed Li Wen's words one after another, and it must be that Liu Xia wanted to hide his identity and was unwilling to say more.
After that, Li Wen went down and left. Liu Xia couldn't help but feel that he had acting skills, and he was afraid that he could become an actor.
After Li Wen left, Liu Xia began to clean up the battlefield, this time the number of Qing troops captured was about 13,000, and the news from the Kuiwolf Legion before that said that more than 10,000 people were also captured in Xinyang. These are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and they only need to be brainwashed, and their combat effectiveness is naturally strong, and they also save a lot of money and energy for training new soldiers.
"Escort all the captured Qing troops to Xingyang, and temporarily hand over to Zhang Liang, the commander of the Leopard Cavalry Brigade, to be responsible, and at the same time notify Ma Peng, the commander of the Kuiwolf Legion in the south, and ask him to send someone to escort the more than 10,000 horses and horses captured to Xingyang and hand them over to Zhang Liang to be responsible. Wait until after the war to be placed in the boot barracks. ”
"Find a place to bury all the corpses of the enemy, the weather is hot now, and if you don't deal with it for a long time, there may be a plague. The soldiers who died in our army were cremated into ashes, put them in the urn, and sent people to Luoyang to bury them in the [War Spirit Mausoleum], and they must not let the meritorious soldiers die without a home! And told Wang En that the families of the soldiers who died in the war must be subsidized in full, and once anyone is found to dare to embezzle money, they will not be spared! ”
Liu Xia returned to Pingxiang City and rested for a while. This time he still didn't catch Haoge and Aobai, he was very unwilling, this time Haoge and Aobai lost 30,000 troops, that is to say, at this time, the Qing army was only 20,000 troops in Julu City, did he raise troops to attack Julu City, taking advantage of this moment Duoduo did not come back, and took it in one fell swoop.
At this moment, suddenly a personal guard ran in, bowed respectfully to Liu Xia, and said, "A secret letter from the north!" ”
