The officers and troops flanked the front and back, and tens of thousands of routed soldiers had nowhere to escape, and after trying to storm several more times, leaving hundreds or thousands of corpses behind, they finally lost their courage completely.

"Surrender or die, surrender and die!" The officers and soldiers shouted loudly before and after, and the sound shook the canyon.

After the deserters looked at each other, someone finally dropped his weapon and walked out with his hands above his head and surrendered.

"Surrender! Surrender! I'm waiting for the will! ”

Someone took the lead, and the rest quickly followed suit, and dozens, hundreds, thousands of deserters began to throw down their weapons and raise their hands and begin to surrender.

The Jianmen guard, who was mixed in the rout, thought that he would be able to escape with the impact of the rout, but he didn't expect to fall into a dilemma, and he was secretly anxious in his heart.

"General, we have no way out, so let's descend." The commander of the personal army who was guarding him beside him whispered.

"I can't surrender easily, if I surrender, my family will definitely be killed. Who doesn't know the ruthlessness and brutality of Emperor Onishi. The Sword Gate guard shook his head and hesitated.

"General, don't be confused at this time. If you think about it, even if you don't surrender, even if we can escape back, it will be a dead end at that time. The first battle of Jianmen Pass is the first battle we fought with the official army, the city was broken in less than an hour, even if you go back, Zhang Mazi will not let you go, don't say that your whole family will be affected by the plant, I am afraid that even the nine clans will be killed by Zhang Mazi. The commander of the pro-army continued to persuade bitterly.

This guard general is actually a Ming general who surrendered in the past, and he surrendered early when Zhang Xianzhong invaded Shuzhou, and was appreciated by Zhang Xianzhong, so that he continued to be the guard of Jianmen Pass.

The commander of the pro-soldiers was also his original henchman, and he was terrified when he said this.

Zhang Xianzhong is known as Zhang Mazi because he has a lot of black moles on his face. In addition, this person has a sallow face and a ruthless heart, and all of them are known as "Yellow Tiger".

When Zhang Xianzhong invaded Shuzhou and attacked Jinguancheng, he received resistance from the official army, although he finally captured the city, and a large number of officers and soldiers also surrendered.

However, in order to vent his anger and show his majesty and brutality, Zhang Xianzhong actually asked tens of thousands of surrendered officers and soldiers to line up and cut off each palm, and the name of brutality spread all over Shuzhou at once.

In fact, this is not the first time Zhang Xianzhong has done this. Moreover, cutting off one of each person's palms is already considered a great mercy in Zhang Xianzhong's opinion.

In previous battles, he ordered the slaughter of thousands of prisoners, and it was really merciful to cut off only one palm of his hand.

Zhang Xianzhong's personality is moody, he is still smiling in the last second, and thunder and rain in the next second.

Like Li Zicheng, he has no descendants. Li Zicheng married two wives in his life, and Mrs. Xing eloped with his subordinate Gao Jie. The second Mrs. Gao doesn't seem to be very obedient.

Neither wife gave birth to a son and a half daughter.

Although Zhang Xianzhong has slept with many women, most of them will be disgusted after sleeping for a few days, and then cut them with a knife.

The most obvious manifestation of Zhang Xianzhong's moody personality is his thirst for killing. The most widely known is the famous "Seven Killings Monument" that he erected outside Jinguan City:

"Heaven pays all things to man, and man has nothing to do with heaven. The ghosts and gods are clear, and they think about themselves. ”

Translated into the vernacular, it is: "All things are born for man, but what man does is sorry for God." So you deserve to be killed, and don't blame me if you become a ghost. ”

This sentence is reflected in the action, that is, he will kill people at any time on the ground. There is no reason to look for a reason to kill as well.

Once, his righteous son and confidant Sun Kewang returned from a victorious expedition, and the civil officials of the Great Western Kingdom went out of the city to greet him in accordance with the old practice of Ming Dynasty officialdom, presented congratulatory gifts, and handed over a "joint letter".

Zhang Xianzhong was furious when he found out, and the reason for his anger was that since these people were my officials, they still had to follow the bad customs of the old dynasty, so they all deserved to die, and he actually ordered more than 200 people to be killed with a cane.

On another occasion, because of a small mistake, he actually killed more than 300 civil officials in a row. Some people persuaded everyone to kill everyone to do things, but Zhang Xianzhong said, "Is no one doing it if the civil officials are still filming?" ”

This kind of thing abounds, countless, and Zhang Xianzhong himself considers himself a murderous demon, and even says that he is learning from Huang Chao.

He killed women, killed prisoners, killed civil officials, killed people, and the population of the entire land of Shuzhou was only one or two percent of the population killed from the time he entered Shuzhou to the time he evacuated.

It can be said that in the Ming Empire at that time, the three words Zhang Xianzhong were the most frightening.

Although Li Zicheng is also ruthless and has killed countless people, he is far inferior to Zhang Xianzhong's.

To use a modern term, Zhang Xianzhong is a typical anti-human personality in society, with serious personality defects, and is a complete pessimist.

This pessimism is not pessimism about one's own life, but a pessimistic view of the world. If such a person is just an ordinary person, he has no power and power, and at most he will destroy himself or kill a few people.

But if it is put on people like Zhang Xianzhong, it will be a catastrophe for the people of the world.

They all want to kill people for no reason, let alone the great crime of losing the city and land.

When the Jianmen guard thought of this, his whole body trembled, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately decided to surrender.

The Lord has all descended, and the others are even more so. In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of captives threw down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.

The Wehrmacht soldiers in the front and rear immediately divided and housed the prisoners and took away their weapons.

When the division commander of the major general led by the Wehrmacht knew that there was a Jianmen guard among the prisoners, he was also overjoyed, and asked people to bring him over.

"You're the Sword Gate Guard?" The division commander of the major general asked after a while.

Looking at the officer and army general in front of him wearing a woolen short military uniform, the Jianmen guard suppressed his curiosity and hurriedly said: "It is the Jianmen guard general Dang Zhiyong, who was originally a guerrilla general in Guangning City of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Mazi was powerful at that time, so he had no choice but to surrender him. Now that the army of the imperial court has arrived, he is willing to abandon the darkness and return to the court, hoping that the general will give him a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins. ”

Unexpectedly, this guy was still a Ming general before, and the major general and division commander said after a little thought: "If you can make a great contribution, I will plead with Marshal Di and pardon you for the crime of surrendering to Zhang Thief." ”

Dang Zhiyong also had a little courage, and hurriedly said: "General, the humble is willing to go to Guangning City to persuade him to surrender, then the general of Guangning is a friend of the lowly, and it is also the same as the humble because of the expediency of the moment to demote the thief." Zhang Thief acted perversely in Shuzhou, killing countless people, and was not popular at all. Most of the officers and soldiers in the city are composed of local people in Shuzhou. If the humble man goes to persuade him to surrender, he will definitely be able to persuade him to return to the court. ”

The major general division commander has this intention, and it is better to give it a try anyway. If it becomes natural, it is good, and if it is not successful, there is not much loss, and a small general will not be able to turn the sky upside down.

He pretended to be silent for a moment before nodding and said, "Since that's the case, you can try it." If it does, you will be credited with a great achievement. If you have other ideas, please be blessed. ”

Dang Zhiyong hurriedly said: "If you return to the court with a humble heart, you will never dare to have other selfish thoughts, and you will definitely live up to the general's expectations." ”

The division commander of the major general gave him a horse and asked him to take a few retinues to Quang Ninh City.
