Although Cao Bianjiao is brave in the three armies, he has the style of a general, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry is indeed not low in combat power, but it depends on who he compares with. They were too weak against the Baath Army, which was armed with advanced firearms such as flintlock pistols, dragon guns, and grenades.

Mo Li saw that Wu Keli was about to escape, so he ordered someone to fire a signal flare for Cheng Qingzhu.

As the signal flare burst into the sky with dazzling light and sharp sound, Cheng Qingzhu brought hundreds of soldiers from the rear battalion to suddenly kill from the location of the ambush in advance, which startled Wu Keli a lot.

The battle lasted only a cup of tea, and most of the officers and men were killed and wounded, and the army was overwhelmed. Although Cao Bianjiao fought hard, the difference in strength was too great, and Wu Keli's soldiers had no intention of fighting, so they only cared about fleeing for their lives, so they were soon surrounded by the revival army.

Mo Li said loudly: "General Xiao Cao, my name is Mo Li, I was originally a general of Liaodong, our brothers all admire General Xiao Cao very much, I hope General Xiao Cao can stop the sword and gun, let's sit down and talk." ”

"Phew! I have nothing to talk about Cao Bianjiao and the bandits! Cao Bianjiao shouted angrily.

"General Xiao Cao, you misunderstood, we are not bandits and bandits, we used to be soldiers of the Liaodong Border Pass, and now we are the Huaxia Rejuvenation Army, our purpose is still to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty from falling into the hands of the enemy, and not let the Tartars enter the rivers and mountains of Kouxia, I think we can talk about it." Mo Li said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Haha, that's a nice thing to say, what kind of Chinese Revival Army, isn't it just a group of bandits and thieves!" Cao Bianjiao was unmoved.

Mo Li also laughed and said, "General Cao, you have misunderstood us, and you can't say it clearly for a while, but you always have to think about the way out for your brothers, right?" Do you want them to follow you and continue to die in vain? We are all Han Chinese, we are all brothers, what should we not sit down and talk about? ”

Cao Bianjiao was silent. Of course, he was not afraid of death, but he did not want his brothers to follow him to death. But asking him to surrender to a group of bandits would make him more uncomfortable than killing him.

At this time, Wu Keli also had no idea at all, he originally wanted to escape, but who knew that these bandits actually ambushed the ambush soldiers behind, and blocked him back at once.

At this time, seeing that the whole army was surrounded by bandits, and there were many casualties, he couldn't help but be shocked, so he walked to Cao Bianjiao's side and said in a panic: "Brother Cao, this time we are really planted!" What to do? Or let's surrender! If you don't surrender, I'm afraid that these bandits will kill people without blinking! ”

"Lord Wu, you are an official of the imperial court!" Cao Bianjiao said coldly.

"This, but if this life is gone, what's the use of being an official? You say, don't you? Wu Keli really saw it.

Cao Bianjiao was speechless.

Of course, he could not consider Wu Keli's words, but he couldn't ignore Mo Li's words.

Indeed, he Cao Bianjiao is not afraid of death, but these brothers under him were born and died with him, especially these hundreds of Guan Ning Tieqi, they are the most relied on by his uncle, and he doesn't want them to die here like this. The only way to do this is to surrender to the bandits first, and then slowly look for an opportunity.

Cao Bianjiao was silent for a long time, and said loudly: "Listen to the people on the other side, we can surrender, but you must promise not to kill them!" ”

Mo Li also said loudly: "Of course! I, Moli, am also a person who reiterates his promises and keeps his promises, and I will never go back on my word! ”

"Good! Brothers, stop fighting! We surrender! Cao Bianjiao's words almost popped out from between his teeth, and his lips bit bloodshot.

He joined the army as a young man, experienced many battles, and never had a precedent of surrendering to the enemy, in his heart, he has always regarded himself as a loyal defender of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect to be here today, surrendered to a group of bandits and thieves, and it was a crushing defeat in the first battle, which filled his heart with a sense of humiliation.

Wu Keli breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that this Cao Bianjiao would refuse to surrender, and then he could only die and the net would be broken, in case these bandits launched a ruthless attack, he was afraid that even he would die without a body. Now that Cao Bianjiao is finally willing to surrender, at least this little life is estimated to be worry-free for the time being.

After a big battle, more than half of the more than 3,000 soldiers brought by Wu Keli and Cao Bianjiao were already damaged, and the rest were all captured.

In addition, Han Chong ran with dozens of people to catch sheep, but before he came back, Mo Li decided to leave Cheng Qingzhu and Tong Da Hammer with hundreds of people to ambush at the foot of the mountain, waiting for Han Chong to catch him as soon as he came.

Wu Keli and others were tied up and taken away by Wuhuada, and several soldiers of the Fuxing Army came over and were about to tie up Cao Bianjiao, Mo Li happened to come over, and when he saw this, he was furious, and he flew up and kicked down the leader, and shouted: "Tie you up and paralyze!" This is General Xiao Cao, treat him with courtesy! Do you understand? Get out! ”

The soldiers hurriedly crawled away.

Mo Li hugged his fist at Cao Bianjiao, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "General Cao, I'm really embarrassed, a bunch of fools owe discipline, I'll go back and cut him." ”

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Mo Li, and then he realized that Mo Li, the boss of the other party, was still a young man, and he looked about the same age as himself.

Although Mo Li had a very sincere smile on his face, Cao Bianjiao still snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to pretend, since I am the general of the defeated army, I will dispose of it at your disposal!" But if you go back on your word and don't keep your word, I, Cao Bianjiao, will not let you go! ”

"General Xiao Cao, don't worry, I Moli will do what I say, I will never do that reviled thing, we are all Han brothers, and we should sit down and talk about something, right? Come on, come on, you've come all the way, you must be tired at this time, let's go back and rest first. Mo Li said, talking to Cao Bianjiao and the others while walking towards Heiyun Village.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but ask Mo Li: "What kind of weapon did you use just now?" And how could it explode so badly without artillery? ”

Mo Li laughed and said, "General Cao, this is our newly invented killer weapon, the name is landmine." ”

"Landmines?" Cao Bianjiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, when it explodes, it is really as loud as thunder!" You're buried in the ground, aren't you? ”

"That's right, General Xiao Cao is really powerful, as soon as you hear the name, you know the characteristics of this weapon, admire! The structure of this mine is actually not difficult, and you will find out when you return to the cottage General Xiaocao to take a look. Mo Li smiled.

"It's your secret, you're going to show me?" Cao Bianjiao looked at Mo Li in disbelief.

"Hahahaha......" Moli laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Am I not right? Cao Bianjiao said with some annoyance.

"General Cao, don't mind if Mo Li says something arrogant, in fact, we were fully capable of exterminating all of you officers and soldiers just now, but I didn't do it, do you know why?" Mo Li said very seriously.

"I want to hear about it."
