Chapter 594: The Top of Mount Tai

When Sun Chuanting woke up again, Sun Shibao and the others were still standing in front of the bed, waiting for his military orders.

Defeated! Utterly defeated!

After repeated blows, Sun Chuanting was already in despair, and the previous anger was gone, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Shibao, the matter has come to this, the overall situation has been decided, you surrender!" ”

Sun Shibao was a hundred in favor of this proposal to surrender, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, let's surrender together!" I immediately went to surrender to Jinan Mansion. ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at him blankly, lay back on the bed, shook his hand and said, "Shibao, you can descend, I am the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty appointed by His Majesty, and I must not descend!" ”

Sun Shibao saw that he was determined to die for the country, so he cried in front of the bed, and kept knocking his head on the bed, "Uncle, it's not that my uncle is not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but the Xuanjia Army is really strong and strong, and my uncle has done his best, not a crime of war!" ”

Sun Chuanting closed his eyes and said dejectedly, "As the governor of the Ming Dynasty, I can't protect my family and defend the country, and I still survive in the world, which is the national shame of the Ming Dynasty!" Sebo, needless to say, you surrender! Just arrange for me to count the cavalry and horses, and help me to the top of Mount Tai. I want to worship the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty on Mount Tai, and then die for the country. ”

Sun Shibao's forehead was already bleeding, he wiped the blood with his hands, got up and said loudly, "Uncle doesn't descend, we don't descend either!" ”

All the soldiers under his command also shouted in unison, "Inspector Sun, we will not surrender!" ”

Sun Chuanting smiled miserably when he heard this, just because the Sun family was loyal, how could he save the Ming Dynasty? He sighed, "Okay, if you don't want to descend, follow me to Mount Tai." Those who wish to surrender are dismissed on the spot, and must not be forced. This battle is over, no more sword soldiers are allowed, my Sun Chuanting can't bring them victory, and I can't ask them to die together! ”

In the first battle of Jining, Fang Yuan was forced into a corner, fought back, and finally turned defeat into victory, and the victory was very lucky.

The 10,000 Xuanjia soldiers defending the city were already exhausted, and it was not until Zheng Zhibao's 40,000 reinforcements arrived, and all the gunpowder and military rations arrived, that the tense nerves were relaxed.

The nightmarish one-to-two-month offensive and defensive battle in Jining has finally come to an end, and I can finally get a good night's sleep.

There were at least thirty sergeants who slept and never woke up again. The cries of the entire Jining City were non-stop all night.

This shows the tragedy and cruelty of the Battle of Jining!

Fang Yuan, who was patrolling the city, his eyes were already full of tears, and he ordered Jingjie to start releasing grain to the army, settling the people, and cleaning up the corpses in the city; On the one hand, Zheng Zhibao led 40,000 troops from Zou County to surround the Ming army camp in the south of the city, and bombarded it with artillery for three days and three nights to vent the anger in Fang Yuan's chest.

After three days of incessant shelling, the 20,000 Ming troops in the barracks suffered heavy casualties, and they could not break through the encirclement several times, losing 6 to 7,000 people. After running out of ammunition and food, this Ming army finally decided to surrender to Fang Yuan.

In the past three days, Jing Jie also counted the results of the entire Battle of Jining.

The city of Jining has been bombed into ruins, only the north of the city still has remnants of buildings, and less than 20,000 of the 100,000 people remain.

The losses of the Xuanjia Army were also heavy, with only more than 10,000 of the 50,000 Xuanjia Army left, and 40,000 were killed in battle. It is not only the largest battle loss since the formation of the Xuanjia Army, but also a greater consumption of the Xuanjia Army's military strength. The infantry battalion, which had 100,000 sergeants, was severely damaged, and less than 50,000 remained.

The Ming army in the military camp outside the city was the executioner of the remnants of the Jining battle, whether it was to avenge the Xuanjia sergeants or to seek justice for the people slaughtered in Jining City, Fang Yuan could not agree to the surrender of the Ming army outside the city.

"We must use the blood of 20,000 Ming troops to pay tribute to the soldiers and people who died in Jining City!"

Fang Yuan issued a strict order, not accepting the surrender of the Ming army, but instead sent thirty more artillery pieces and continued to bombard day and night.

"Boom, boom!"

The bombardment of artillery is a salute to bid farewell to the fallen soldiers and people!

The Ming troops in the barracks were bombed to the point that people were overturned on their backs, with dead and wounded everywhere, and there was nowhere to escape.

The commanders met and discussed, the Xuanjia army will not be surrendered, and it is even more certain to die if it is held, it is better to take advantage of the night to scatter and flee, whether it can escape, each has a destiny!

At night, more than 10,000 Ming troops fled from the four gates, scattered as birds and beasts.

Zheng Zhibao immediately sent the Xuanjia rank tail to pursue, killing another 6,000 people along the way, and the rest were gone. After Zheng Zhibao occupied the barracks, countless weapons and armaments of the Ming army were captured. These are all the results of Sun Chuanting's operation for many years, and they all fell into the hands of the Xuanjia Army.

At the same time that Zheng Zhibao's good news came, Fang Yuan once again received good news from Yanzhou City and Jinan Mansion.

Zhang Ying occupied the city of Yanzhou, surrendered 10,000 Ming troops, and defeated the remnants of the Ming army led by Zheng Jiadong. Zhang Ying tried to recruit Zheng Jiadong, the recalcitrant general soldier, but Zheng Jiadong would rather die than surrender, and died on the battlefield in the last suicidal charge.

Chigutai recruited 10,000 train battalions and 5,000 new-style Ming troops to surrender Jinan Prefecture, forced back Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, and occupied Jinan Mansion.

So far, Jinan and Yanzhou have also been included in Fang Yuan's pocket, Shandong is the overall situation has been decided, and the only one that has not yet returned to Fang Yuan is the Dengzhou Mansion where Zheng Sen is located.

Before attacking Weihaiwei and annihilating Zheng Sen's sailors, Fang Yuan still had one more thing to do, which was to make a complete end with Sun Chuanting.

In less than three days, the officials who surrendered in Tai'an Prefecture came with news that Sun Chuanting's 10,000 remnants had been stationed in Tai'an City. But then he left Tai'an City with the remnants and went to Mount Tai.

Sun Chuanting is already embattled and at the end of his rope. With Sun Chuanting's temperament, surrender is absolutely impossible. Sun Chuanting went to Mount Tai to prepare to commit suicide and martyrdom on Mount Tai.

The so-called heroes cherish each other, no matter how stubborn Sun Chuanting is, after all, he is an enemy who can force Fang Yuan to rely on God's protection, and an enemy worthy of Fang Yuan's respect.

With such an enemy, Fang Yuan didn't want to fake his hands anymore, so he decided to personally lead the army to give this Ming Governor a final explanation.

Five days later, Fang Yuan joined Zhang Ying, as well as 10,000 Xuanjia troops and 5,000 special combat troops, and arrived under Mount Tai.

Zhang Ying inquired about the local mountain people, and the Ming army had led the army up the mountain, and the number of remnants of the Ming army was less than 1,000.

Under Fang Yuan's instructions, Zhang Ying sent a sergeant to the mountain to recruit surrender, and made a final effort to persuade him to surrender. Fang Yuan once again promised Sun Chuanting that as long as he surrendered, he would still be ranked as the third duke and appoint a feudal official.

In less than a day, on Mount Tai, Sun Chuanting's reply was that he would rather die than surrender. But along with the persuasion of the surrender sergeant to go down the mountain, there were also 500 personal soldiers of the Sun family, all of whom were arranged by Sun Chuanting to go down the mountain and surrender. The rest are the soldiers of the Ming army who plan to die with Sun Zhengyi, and there are as many as 500 people.

These soldiers of the Sun family are all ragged, yellow-skinned, and have not eaten for two days, so they can only survive by catching rats and ants and digging tree bark.

Fang Yuan did not embarrass these Sun family's relatives too much, but distributed military rations and warm clothes, and sent sergeants back to Jinan Mansion to wait for the war to be dealt with together.

After the Xuanjia army rested for two days and recuperated enough, Fang Yuan ordered Zhang Ying to lead the army to attack the mountain!
