When the result was already doomed, Hong Chengchou completely calmed down, he tidied up his clothes and armor, straightened his waist, sat upright behind his handsome case, looked at the door of the big tent, and waited for the arrival of the enemy's commander.

What he wants to know most now is how such an army could rise rapidly in such a short period of time and defeat the armies of the Manchus and Ming in succession? How exactly do they do it?

The sudden rise of such a powerful force under the noses of the Ming and Qing dynasties was extremely impossible in Hong Chengchou's mind.

If someone had told him before that there was a horse thief in the land of Liaodong who could defeat the Tartars and the Ming army in succession with his own strength, he would never believe it, and he would have said that person must have lost his mind.

But now that the facts are in front of him, he has changed from listening to the story to being a party to the story, and it is difficult for him to believe this result.

So he now wondered how these people did it. He now finally understands that the arrogance of that young man named Jiang Chuan is not arrogance, but self-confidence.

Thinking that Inspector Yuan had to use a small garrison military position to recruit people before, and he also wanted to annex other people's people, Hong Chengchou felt ashamed.

Not to mention the young and vigorous Jiang Chuan, even if it were him, he had such a strong army in his hands that was proud of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it would not give Inspector Yuan any good looks.

Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a group of black-clothed and black-armored armor soldiers rushed in, surrounded by a tall, heavily armored general with a blood-red cloak behind him.

As soon as the general came in, a pair of tiger eyes swept over Hong Chengchou's body, and said coldly: "You are Hong Chengchou?" ”

Rao is Hong Chengchou is also a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, but when he was swept away by this person's gaze, there was also a chill on his body, and he was secretly surprised in his heart that this person's evil spirit was so strong.

"Hong Chengchou, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, has seen this general. Dare to ask what the general is called? Hong Chengchou got up and said calmly with his fists at the general.

"Hmph, I heard that General Hong has a calm demeanor, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." The general scoffed, his words marked with sarcasm.

Hong Chengchou's old face was hot, and he could hear that the other party looked down on him.

I sighed in my heart, of course I would be looked down upon as a general of the defeated army, not to mention that the other party was the winner, but I looked down on myself now.

"General, although Hong Chengchou is a defeated general, he is not a person who does not know the times. The generals were unstoppable, and Cheng Chou knew that he was invincible, so he didn't do the battle of the trapped beast, but he didn't want my soldiers to die in vain. I also ask the general to be kind to the officers and men of our army, and I am grateful. This is my long sword and the Great Seal of the General Army, please accept it, General! ”

Hong Chengchou picked up his long sword and official seal from the case, and held it in front of Ran Wu with both hands.

Ran Wu took it, glanced at it, it was indeed the Great Seal of the General Army, handed it over to the deputy general next to him, and said to Hong Chengchou: "For the sake of your knowledge of the times and your reluctance to kill more, I could have promised you to treat the prisoners well." Remember, this general Ran Wu is a cavalry captain under my lord Jiang Chuan. From now on, you are my captive. I will send someone to escort you to the lord, and if you want to know the answer, you can ask our lord. If the lord is happy, he may tell you. Now, it is your merit that you go with my men to appease your soldiers and make them honest prisoners. ”

At this point, Hong Chengchou could only agree, and arched his hand: "General Ran, Chengchou must do his best." ”

Ran Wu waved his hand and sent a partial general out with Hong Chengchou.

He himself sat behind Hong Chengchou's handsome case and convened an interim military meeting.

Because the battle ended so quickly, some of the previous deployments had to be changed. Moreover, this time there were so many more prisoners and a lot of captured grain and grass baggage, which needed to be rearranged.

Soon, Ran Wu made arrangements.

Leave 2,000 men in place to guard the prisoners and baggage, mobilize the prisoners and those people to re-encamp, set up various defensive measures, and send a general to preside over here.

Then a team of 100 people was assigned to escort Hong Chengchou to Erlong Valley. As long as Hong Chengchou is not in the prisoner camp, these prisoners will not be able to make much waves even if they have any thoughts.

Ran Wu himself led the remaining 6,000 cavalry to copy the rear road of Yuan Chonghuan's army, and almost harassed the marching speed of Yuan Chonghuan's army according to the original plan, creating an opportunity for the main force to lure and annihilate the front army of the Ming army.

The soldiers were quick and did what they said, and Ran Wu quickly ended the military meeting and ordered the generals to perform their duties.

After Hong Chengchou's pacification, saying that the Jiang family army would treat the captives well and guarantee their lives, the original anxious hearts of those Ming army captives slowly calmed down.

Many people originally thought that Hong Chengji had escaped, but when they saw that the chief soldier had become a prisoner like himself, the burden in his heart was gone, and they all settled down and prepared to be a prisoner.

Moreover, Jiang Jiajun also promised that if they behaved well, they would be able to reunite with their relatives, which made the captives even more reassured.

In the rush just now, most of the people who died under the charge of the Jiang family army were those veterans who came from the Central Plains with Hong Chengchou. As a result, most of the remaining captives were recruits.

These recruits have no desire to become soldiers, and the basic mountain can be said to be a strong man who has been caught. Although he is now a prisoner, he heard that he could survive and have the opportunity to reunite with his family if he performed well, and his motivation to work one by one soon rose, and he was even more motivated than when he was in the Ming army before.

Hong Chengchou had mixed feelings in his heart, and he could only sigh.

Hell if such an army does not defeat the battle.

Not to mention those who followed the army and civilians, they were not the Ming army in the first place, and they all came to join the army after being conscripted. Now that they have a chance to live, of course they will not miss it, and they are even more positive.

Looking at the sudden firepower of the entire prisoner camp, Ran Wu, who had inspected the circle, was surprised.

Under the energetic explosion of thousands of captives, the entire camp was more fortified than before. Of course, Ran Wu also ordered that it be modified according to the combat mode of the cavalry, so that once the enemy steals the camp, the cavalry can break through smoothly.

After the camp was reorganized, Ran Wu left two thousand cavalry and sent a centurion to take Hong Chengchou back to Erlong Valley. He led 6,000 cavalry to chase Yuan Chonghuan's main force of the Ming army.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan's Chinese army had just pulled out of camp, and he still had no idea about the total annihilation of the rear army.
