Chapter 883: Forced to Descend and Collapse the Sky
Luo Ru knew what kind of virtue Zhang Xianzhong was, and he couldn't make up his mind about whether to surrender for a while, so he looked behind him and found that Liu Guoneng didn't follow.
At this time, Zhang Dingguo, who had been guarding Zhang Xianzhong's side, said loudly
"Father-in-law, seeing that it is getting late, it will be dark if you hold on for another half an hour, we still have a few hundred elites, and we will definitely be able to keep you out of the encirclement."
Liu Guoneng, who distanced himself from Zhang Xianzhong and others, had already let the war horse trot, and the old camp men and horses under his command gradually slowed down, and looked at the less than four hundred horsemen who were still following him, Liu Guoneng sighed and said
"Brothers, it is not a long-term solution after all, Lao Tzu decided not to run to the 'Red Flag Army', and is willing to follow me to stay, and if you don't want to surrender, please do your best."
There was a commotion among hundreds of people, and about forty or fifty rode horses and whips away, leaving behind a sentence "Everyone has their own ambitions, big brother, take care!" ”
After a while, the first fierce general of the "Red Banner Army" was killed, Liu Guoneng had already surrendered twice, and with some experience, he let three hundred and dozens of henchmen and horse thieves dismount and form a circle, with war horses on the periphery.
Seeing the red iron stream coming earth-shatteringly, he tore open his throat and shouted repeatedly with hundreds of henchmen: "Break through the sky, Liu Guoneng leads his troops to surrender!" Please don't let go of the soldiers of the 'Red Banner Army'! ”
……
The "Red Banner Army" is not cruel, does not take pleasure in killing, but likes to surrender without a fight, and the same is true for Hanzi.
He immediately stopped and shouted, "Choose to surrender to the 'Red Banner Army', welcome, everyone throws away their weapons and lines up." Liu Guoneng came out to talk! ”
Liu Guoneng's 300 or so horse thieves did not throw away their weapons after dismounting, and they did not try to resist in vain, but to prevent the horses from being coaxed and robbed by other rogues when they were unarmed.
At this time, hundreds of horse thieves, led by Liu Guoneng, trotted out from the circle of war horses and pack horses and threw a lot of weapons in their hands.
Liu Guoneng ran to Hanzi Horse, hugged his fists and saluted, "Little Liu Guoneng, may I ask the general's surname?" ”
Hanzi just looked at Liu Guoneng's portrait again, remembered his appearance, looked up and down, and said, "This official Yang Dalang!" ”
After eight or nine years of fighting, Hanzi's meritorious deeds are naturally famous, and the big leaders of the rogue are familiar with it.
Hearing Yang Dalang's name, Liu Guoneng became more humble, bowed down and said, "The little one has long been tired of being a thief all day long, and longs to be able to submit to the 'Red Banner Army' one day, please take it in by the general." ”
Hanzi said honestly, "You are taking the initiative to surrender, and your life will definitely be saved, but if you want to become the 'Red Flag Army', it doesn't matter if the official says, it depends on whether you have bad deeds, and you have to report to the 'King of Hanjiang County' for special approval after being inspected by the magistrate!" ”
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves around him rumbled, and thousands of cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" galloped away, and the fool scolded with a smile
"Crazy Wang, no matter how fast your kid runs, you can't compare with us, we have caught a big-headed fish, and Liu Guoneng has already surrendered to our department with more than 300 people."
I only heard a sentence coming from afar, it was the uniform voice of hundreds of cavalry of Wang Zhicheng's department, "Liu Guoneng is not ranked in the top ten!" Nothing remarkable! Our department resolutely locked the No. 2 thief, the first eight kings, Zhang Xianzhong, and never withdrew his troops if he didn't kill that guy! ”
Oh, yes! Zhang Xianzhong's No. 2 big fish head hasn't been caught yet!
Hanzi was suddenly in no mood to talk to Liu Guoneng, and left a hundred general men to manage Liu Guoneng's department, waiting for Huang Han to arrive and deal with it personally, and he turned over and continued to chase after Liukou.
This is the Yellow Flood area between the Yellow River and the Huai River, and it is also the impact plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
It is rare for a horse thief to have a good horse, and gradually there are old horse thieves who find that the horse can no longer run, and choose to give up, jump off the war horse and kneel on the side of the road to beg for surrender.
Wang Zhicheng knew that there were many people and horses behind, so he didn't even glance at the scattered horse thieves who surrendered, and continued to move forward.
He never cared about military exploits, he just wanted to kill more enemies.
The rogues who have already knelt on the side of the road must be frightened, and basically they will not pose a threat, and the rogues who are still running away are enough to show that they are all thieves who eat the scales and hammer the bones of the iron-hearted, and chasing and killing these people is the backbone of completely strangling the rogues.
Gu Kui, Yan Congyou, Gu Jixiang, and Ge Daben have led the guard battalion to change horses once, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the guard battalion have outperformed their companions in the hundred-mile run, and now they are in the same place with Wang Zhicheng's hundreds of subordinates who outperformed their companions.
Nearly an hour has passed, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's men and horses are running less and less, and now they are not even five hundred, and these people's crotches are all real war horses, so they outperformed ninety percent of their companions.
In the past, even if the Guanning Iron Cavalry who encountered Cao Xiaocao should have escaped, who knows that this is not what it used to be, there is still the rumbling of horses' hooves behind him, shouting and killing, and the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it is impossible to get rid of it at all.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was pale and he didn't say a word, Luo Rucai was still a little discouraged, and he said with a crying voice
"Eight kings, I'm afraid we are in a catastrophe, seeing that the war horses can't run anymore, and the chasing soldiers are getting closer and closer, what to do next, you have to have an idea!"
Zhang Xianzhong squinted at Luo Rucai, who used to boast of being resourceful, and tempted, "Why don't you run away, stay and surrender to try, maybe the 'Red Flag Army' really doesn't kill the prisoners, and it doesn't know." ”
Luo Rucai, who had no confidence, got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Okay, I'll stay and leave it to fate, and try to buy you some time." As he spoke, he slowed down.
Zhang Xianzhong didn't even look back, and said loudly, "Take care, there will be a period later!" ”
The disheartened Luo Rucai let out a long sigh and muttered, "The end of the road, the future is precarious, and there will be a fart in the future!" ”
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had already gone away, and of course he didn't hear Luo Rucai's muttering.
More than 100 horsemen under Luo Rucai's command also slowed down, and a henchman asked the leader, "Big boss, are we really ready to surrender to the 'Red Banner Army'?" ”
Luo Rucai gasped, rolled his eyes, and asked, "No, is there a better way?" ”
The leader immediately became more energetic, and flattered, "The decision of the big boss is wise, where are we the opponents of the 'Red Flag Army', it is better to choose to surrender." ”
didn't want to continue to escape, and chose to follow the more than 100 people left behind by Luo Rucai, and said in unison at this time: "We are willing to follow the big boss and surrender to the 'Red Flag Army'." ”
After a while, Wang Zhicheng, Gu Kui, Gu Jixiang and others led one or two thousand men to kill, Luo Rucai, who had already dismounted and was waiting to surrender, and his subordinates were not embarrassed, and the "Red Banner Army" confiscated their weapons and left a hundred generals to escort them back.
It was already approaching dusk, the north wind was howling, and the cavalry who had been chasing for nearly two hours were covered in sweat, and they all felt cold at this time.
But no one was willing to give up, and they continued to change horses and chase after each other.
