Welcome to Mairuo,!

Chapter 213 of the text is under the city of Xinyang

Author: Maniac Blue

It has been two days since the Tianxing Huideng Xiangbu besieged Xinyang County, but due to the desperate resistance of the Xinyang army and civilians, coupled with the lack of artillery and other equipment to attack the city, the Huideng Xiangbu still did not break through the city for two days.

However, due to the huge momentum of the thieves, the officials and soldiers in the surrounding states and counties were so frightened that they shrank in the city and did not dare to move, and Hui Dengxiang was not worried about the official army to rescue Xinyang, anyway, there were nearly 10,000 men and horses under his subordinates, and Xinyang was only a few hundred garrisons and hundreds of officials, and thousands of people organized by the county were defending, what combat effectiveness could these people have?

Surrounded Xinyang City first, and waited for a day or two for the army of the great leader Wang Jiayin to go south from Tongbai, and saw that these Xinyang defenders were not scared to death.

However, I heard that the imperial court recently transferred a Liaodong army to the south, but Hui Dengxiang didn't pay much attention to it, the virtue of the official army is not clear, since the south, the officers and soldiers encountered are all cowards, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and seeing the peasant army has become a turtle with a shrunken head.

What's more, the official army is still one hundred and eighty miles away, and I heard that the imperial court has sent troops to suppress it, and Wang Jiayin's army is already on the way south to converge, ready to fight against the official army together with Hui Dengxiang, so Hui Dengxiang is not very worried.

Thinking like this, his subordinates relaxed their vigilance even more, and after a day of siege, they were all tired, and they had already fallen asleep at this moment, only dozens of sentries patrolled around the camp.

In the early hours of the morning, when it was about to dawn, Hui Dengxiang was suddenly awakened by an earth-shattering shouting and killing, and was just about to get up, only to see his own soldiers running in in a panic to report: "Master, it's not good, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are coming!" ”

"What?!" Whedon was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How many people are here?" ”

"No, no, I don't know how many, all sides are surrounded and killed!" The soldier said in a panic.

Holy! Hui Dengxiang's face changed greatly, how did this official army come so quickly? Didn't you say that it was still one hundred and eighty miles away? Could it be that they are all flying?

"Gather the brethren, prepare to break through and move closer to the big leader!" Whitden thought for a moment and commanded.

"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly gave the order.

Whitden hurriedly got dressed, took his weapon, and rushed out. I saw that the whole camp was in chaos, and in the face of the sudden arrival of the officers and troops, the thieves of the Wheden Department were stunned, and the officers and soldiers came from all sides, and they did not give them a chance to escape at all.

Some of the generals tried to organize their forces to resist the approach of the officers and troops, but they were killed and retreated, and they could not rush out at all.

Because the officers and soldiers came too suddenly, and it was early in the morning, when the thieves were sleeping and dying, they didn't have time to react. If it weren't for the fact that one of the members of the Snow Eagle Brigade accidentally stepped on a snow-covered pit and fell into it to make a noise, the thieves would not have known that the officers and soldiers had been killed under their noses.

Although the sentinels discovered the movement of the Snow Eagle Brigade, it was clearly too late. The cavalry had already approached the camp of the thieves and began to charge the guard sentries at the gate of the camp.

The unprepared thieves were killed without much or no further and retreated.

When Whitden came out of the big tent, he was surrounded by disorganized subordinates, fleeing everywhere, in disarray, unable to organize effective resistance.

Whitden Xiang organized several breakouts, but was forced back by the officers and troops. Hui Dengxiang was shocked and angry, and was about to lead his own soldiers to break out in person, when a horse suddenly broke out of the official camp, and immediately shouted: "Master Hui, stop quickly!" I'm Li Guo! ”

When Hui Deng saw that the person who came was Li Guo, dressed in the armor of an officer and soldier, he couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious, and said loudly: "Brother of the supplement!" How did you get mixed up with the officers and soldiers? ”

Li Guo came out of the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Master Hui, can you listen to my brother's advice and surrender the officers and soldiers!" General Mo is a real man, he will never embarrass you, and will reuse you! ”

Hui Dengxiang's face changed, and he said angrily: "Make up for it!" You and my brother revolted with the great chief, in order to resist the oppression of the dog government, so that the brothers and the people could have a way to live! Why are you so confused, getting involved with the dog officer army! ”

Li Guo shook his head and said: "Master Hui, our General Mo is not like other officers and soldiers, he is a good official who really thinks about the common people, and a good general who loves nurses and soldiers!" Do you know? In October last year, it was General Mo who led us to the Daling River, defeated the Jiannu Tartars, and killed more than 20,000 enemies! Over the years, who can do it? ”

Whitden was a little surprised, and said, "You fought last year's Dalinghe victory?" ”

Li Guo nodded, and said with a hint of pride: "Master Hui, you should come down!" We are brothers, and I have told you the truth, and I cannot bear to see you exterminated, otherwise, do you think that your brothers can fight better than the Tartars? Isn't that enough how many times you've rushed and you haven't rushed out? General Mo also appreciates your righteousness, brother, otherwise ......"

Li Guo glanced at the New Liao Army, which was tightly surrounded all around, and did not say any more, but the meaning was obvious.

"But......" Whitden's throat moved with difficulty, and his voice was astringent, "we have always been at odds with the officers and soldiers, and if we surrender, can the officers and soldiers promise not to kill us?" I've heard that many of the brothers surrendered and were killed by that Hong Chengchou! ”

"Hong Chengchou is Hong Chengchou, and this general is this general, how can they be compared?" Mo Li came to the horse and said lightly: "Mr. Hui can't trust me Mo, he should always trust Brother Bu, right?" ”

After a pause, he looked around again, and said with a faint smile: "Now besides the surrendered officers and soldiers, what other way can you go?" ”

Whitden was silent. Indeed, there are fewer and fewer brothers around him, the officers and soldiers are coming too fast, the brothers can't resist at all, the entire camp has collapsed, and it is impossible to organize a breakthrough.

Mo Li, Li Guo and Hui Dengxiang looked at each other silently, Mo Li was waiting for Hui Dengxiang to make a choice, anyway, he was not in a hurry. Dozens of paces apart, soldiers on both sides held knives and guns, and confronted each other nervously. To be precise, it was only the soldiers under Whitden who were nervous.

"If you hesitate any longer, there will be only a few of your brethren left." Mo Li said lightly, with a nonchalant expression, as if he didn't care about Hui Dengxiang.

It is also said that now that the Huideng Xiangbu has been tightly surrounded by the new Liao army, can he still escape from the palm of his hand?

Whitden thought about it for a while, and finally sighed, looked up and said to Mo Li, "Okay! I fell! I hope you keep your word, otherwise, I won't let you go! ”

Mo Li laughed and said, "Don't worry, you won't be a ghost so quickly, and you will live for at least another thirty or fifty years!" ”

Hui Dengxiang was only in his thirties at this time, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Then I, Hui Dengxiang, will hand over this life to the general! ”

With the surrender of Huideng Xiang, the rest of the troops naturally surrendered one after another, they had already been killed by the official army, and they were desperate to end the battle, so it didn't take long for Huideng Xiang's troops to surrender to the official army.

The first battle ended successfully, and the brothers were very happy. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers were taking advantage of the morning light to clean the battlefield and count the results. In addition to the nearly 4,000 men killed in the battle, the remaining nearly 5,000 men and horses all surrendered, and hundreds more escaped.

The defenders of Xinyang City saw that the thieves who had surrounded them for two days were easily defeated and disarmed by an officer and soldier, and they couldn't help but be very happy.

Mo Li was not polite, the army ran all night, fought for half the night, and was indeed hungry and tired, so they all went into the city to rest and have some breakfast.

Regarding Mo Li's recruitment and co-optation of the Huideng Xiangbu thieves, Lu Hanzhang actually has ideas. After breakfast, Lu Hanzhang quietly pulled Mo Li aside, looked at Mo Li with a complicated expression, and said, "General Mo, what are you going to do with these thieves?" ”

Mo Li smiled: "Of course, it is the one who should be absorbed, and the one who should be dismissed." Most of these thieves are just peasant people who can't survive, and if the local government can arrange for them to produce and live within the scope of their ability, and they can have a stutter, they will not rebel. ”

Lu Hanzhang looked at Mo Li with a complicated face: "But General Mo has to think clearly, our task is to suppress thieves, and we have no right to arrange how the local government will settle these thieves!" Besides, in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the localities have no time to take care of themselves, and how many places can they resettle the displaced people? ”

"But they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty! Could it be that the imperial court could only watch them starve to death? If people don't eat, then they can't rise up and rebel? How can there be peace in this world? ”

Lu Hanzhang stared at Mo Li for a long time, and said slowly: "General Mo, the emperor's will is for us to eliminate the thieves, not to appease them, understand?" Let's say something ugly, the general is a martial artist, he leads the troops to fight, not manages the place, and now the imperial court does not agree with the strategy of suppressing and appeasing the people, Yang He has been thrown into prison because of this, doesn't the general take it as a lesson? ”

Mo Li was shocked, it seemed that he was not thoughtful enough, Chongzhen was not at ease with himself, if he recruited troops and horses again, or even privately appeased and settled the thieves, wouldn't such a move be almost equivalent to a suspicion of rebellion in his opinion?

But he has already recruited the thieves of the Whedon Minister, and they have already believed in themselves and surrendered to him, can they still kill them all now? If you do this, won't you become a villain who doesn't believe in your word? Where is the prestige? How will we convince the public in the future?

However, the key now is how Lu Hanzhang reported to the imperial court.
