Two days later, on the third day of the fifth month. Stationed outside Wanzhou City, the Yang Han Department, which was originally peaceful, was surrounded by tens of thousands of Yuanmeng officers and soldiers in Wanzhou City at this time.

"This, what do these Tartars want to do, do they want to attack us!" In the barracks, Qianhu Niu Ben couldn't help but feel a sense of tension when he looked at the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers who were waiting outside the camp gate, and even the bronze artillery on the city wall had been moved down.

The people inside listened, and Yang Han of Wanhu wanted to do wrong, and he was already punished. As Yang Han's subordinates, you and others are all suspected. Ordered you to immediately put down the blade in your hand and surrender, otherwise, you will be killed! Among the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers who were waiting solemnly, a surprising officer with a loud voice rode out of his horse.

Then he saw that this person drove his horse to the closed camp gate of Yang Hanbu, and shouted like this with his neck pulled.

"What, the general was killed! The general was killed! ”

"Damn the dogs, I knew they weren't well. Brothers, fight with them to avenge the general. ”

"We haven't seen the general's body yet. There may be fraud, don't mess with yourself, don't mess with yourself! ”

With the loud shout of the officer, sure enough, the chaotic mood couldn't help but spread among Niu Ben and other high-ranking officers.

Especially when they saw that the corpses of their own generals Yang Han and others were dragged to the camp gate by the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers next, and the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers did not deceive themselves, the chaotic mood couldn't help but reach its peak.

"Avenge the general, avenge the general!"

"The Yuanmeng Tartar soldiers are strong and strong, don't be impulsive, hit the stone with an egg!"

"The Yuanmeng Tartars have put up such a battle, and they will definitely not give up this time. I can't wait, I'm afraid there will be no way to live! ”

"Stupid. Do you think that if you surrender, you will live? Look at General Yang, General Yang's fate today is what I will do in the future! ”

"The general has treated me well, and the general has died tragically today. The murderer is at large outside the camp, but you only know how to think about yourself, not the son of man! ”

"What a bastard you said. The Yuanmeng Tartars came prepared, and if we went out rashly, wouldn't we be asking for our own death. Not only will they not be able to avenge the general, but the brothers will also die! "All of a sudden, the many generals of thousands of households under Yang Han quarreled with me, and it was a mess.

But what they didn't expect was that at this time, outside the tent, the bald ones who were sent by the Finisher Buhua did not spend it. In the army outside the camp, the watchers were not far from the camp of Yang Hanbu, but they couldn't help but feel a little up and down in their hearts.

"A quarter of an hour, give them a quarter of an hour. If they still don't surrender, attack me immediately! ”

The bald man roared and gave such an order. Looking at the sweat on his forehead that is now nervous, he can know that he is really worried that things will develop towards the worst.

"By the way, you tell them again. As long as these people put down their weapons and are willing to surrender, the court and Xiangye will definitely not be to blame for what they sat down in the first place. In the end, he was worried that Yang Han's group of subordinates would take risks, and he couldn't help but add like this.

However, what he didn't know was that they were not the only ones who had targeted Yang Han's army early.

"It's not to blame, of course they say so. Now that the Chu army is menacing, we have troops and horses, and it is still of some use to them, so they will naturally not blame the past. At that time, when we treat our group of people as masters, and when we fight with the menacing Chu army, we will be pulled to the front of the battle to build a camp and fill the ravine, won't it be impossible to escape death! ”

In the Yang Han Ministry, Liu Ze shouted like this. One sentence couldn't help but make many generals who were a little relieved by Yuanmeng's side not to blame for the past become panicked again.

"You don't want to think about it." Seeing this, Liu Ze's eyes rolled, he had already secretly surrendered to the Chu army, and he was naturally busy playing the railway while it was hot: "The Chu army is united in its heart, and the soldiers are strong and strong." On Xichuan's side, there is a little possibility to resist the menacing Chu army.

Surrendering this group of Tartars, and then fighting with the Chu army that is stronger than them, isn't that still a self-defeating way! ”

"This ......" Hearing this, the generals fell silent.

However, in the eyes of their group, the officers and soldiers of Xichuan are like a wolf, and they are like a bamboo, and in just 20 days, they led the army to kill the Chu army here in Wanzhou, and they are a tiger.

Surrender a wolf and go fight a tiger. It's incredibly stupid to think about it.

So when he figured this out, Niu Ben, who was definitely the top in Yang Han's subordinates, couldn't help but echo in a loud voice: "That's right, Lao Liu, he is right." Even if we surrender to Xichuan's group of dog Tartars now, it will only be the life of the master.

Whether it is dead or alive depends on the meaning of others. In this way, it is better for us to lead the army to rush out and flee to the territory of the Chu army by boat to surrender to the Chu army. Now, the Tartars haven't had time to block the river, and this is our best chance. ”

"This, General Niu is right. Instead of being saddled with the infamy of betraying the Lord, live that precarious life. It's better to give him a hand, rush out, and surrender to the Chu army. In the future, there is still the possibility of achieving great things! Another Qianhu official was obviously also moved.

And so it goes. rushed out to surrender the Chu army, and it immediately became the opinion of most generals.

And in this time of crisis, the minority obeys the majority. The men could not help but reach an agreement for a short time, and then ordered the closed gates of the camp to be opened.

"Look, General Vulture. The camp gate was opened, and it seems that most of these guys are greedy for life and afraid of death after all, and they are about to surrender. ”

Outside the camp, a Yuanmeng general who didn't know the inside story was full of smiles, thinking that Yang Han's group of subordinates had chosen to surrender to them.

But when he turned back and saw thousands of heavily armed soldiers about to rush towards him, he knew how stupid his words were.

"Damn, are these idiots crazy! Not good, they want to break through by boat. Change formations, intercept them, intercept them! At this time, Bald finally reacted. So he couldn't help but shout, trying to stop this from happening.

"Kill!" The officers and soldiers of Yuanmeng, who had already been mentally prepared for this, reacted very quickly.

Therefore, as soon as the bald order was issued, the tens of thousands of Mongolian officers and soldiers who had changed from a defensive formation to an offensive formation couldn't help but roar and kill Yang Han's subordinates who broke out like a tide.

"Kill! Puff ~ Puff ~ "In the end, it is the regular army. Although between the two, the difference in force is not very large.

But after the two armies clashed, the battle quickly turned one-sided.

However, as Fang just said, the gap between the two in terms of strength is not very big after all. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of Yuanmeng can easily defeat the dragons without a leader, and it is true that Yang Hanbu has lost the unified command. But it is obviously impossible to completely annihilate this group of people or organize this group of people to break through.

No, after tacitly dropping nearly half of his subordinates who had no combat power. Liu Ze, Niu Ben and the others still relied on the most elite hundreds of soldiers under their command to successfully withdraw from the chaotic battlefield.

Then, this group of guys couldn't help but flee in an organized way to the river that the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers had not had time to block. Riding the boat, he went down the river and fled towards the east, which was controlled by the Chu army.

……

"Old man, look, there are warships coming over on the river!" On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, after a day and a night of hurrying, Niu Ben and Liu Ze took a warship, and they couldn't help but appear on Feifeng Mountain, which was stationed on the other side of Yunyang Prefecture, and in accordance with the military order, the first division and three brigades of the ironclad army blocked the river, in the eyes of Fu Youde, Cheng Biao and others.

"Quick, lower the water grate, stop them first!" Seeing this, Fu Youde, who was tasked with blocking the river and preventing the enemy from approaching, couldn't help but give such an order.

"Ah Hu, Xiahou. Report the matter to the brigade general immediately so that the brigade general can know. "Wait until the water grating that can stop the ship is lowered by the subordinates. Fu Youde turned around and ordered his subordinates to run fast on their two legs, ordering them to report the matter to their commander immediately.

After all, the size of this fleet, Fu Youde knew that this matter was definitely not something that a small team like himself could handle.

The fleet was scattered, and there was no posture at all that it should have in battle. Well, unless the commander in chief of this fleet is a madman, this fleet must not be the one who has come to attack our army. And if it wasn't for the attack, there would be only one possibility.

This group of people had come to surrender.

On the west side of Feifeng Mountain, Fu Youde stood on a big rock and looked at the fleet that was getting closer and closer from here, and he couldn't help but make such an analysis in his heart.

It has to be said that the gold is all a piece of gold when it is placed there.

Fu Youde, who was recovered by Zhang Shihua, did not become mediocre because of this, but began to gradually show his brilliance.

……

"What, Yang Han has been killed by the Finisher. Now the remnants of his defeated army have fled to us. When the news was reported layer by layer, and finally reported to the ears of Guo Yu, the supreme commander of the Western Army of the Great Chu Expedition, Guo Yu's always calm face couldn't help but show a touch of ecstasy that could not be concealed this time.

"Hahaha, the finisher doesn't spend this idiot. This is stealing chickens and not making rice! Quick, you can immediately bring me the generals who can take charge of the more than 4,000 remnants of the defeated generals. Ben was going to meet them in person. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing Guo Yu's words, his subordinates hurriedly agreed.

Then it only took two quarters of an hour, Niu Ben, Liu Ze and the others couldn't help but be taken by Guo Yu's soldiers to the front hall of the mansion where Guo Yu temporarily settled in Yunyang City.

"I'll wait, meet the marshal!" was brought to Guo Yu's face. Although these people are very tired after a long day and a night of escaping. But when they saw Guo Yu, they still cheered up, knelt on the ground respectfully, and bowed to Guo Yu.

"Generals, please get up, get up." Seeing this, Guo Yu raised his hand to help him, and after receiving a salute from Niu Ben, Liu Ze and others, he couldn't help but let these embarrassed guys stand up from the ground.

"It's really hard for the generals to venture out and rush here. Sit down, you guys, let's sit down and talk about it. ”

"Marshal Xie." Niu Ben, Liu Ze and others thanked him when they heard this. Then glanced at the seats under the hall, and after looking at each other, Niu Ben, who was now the strongest, couldn't help but take half a step back, and gave up the first seat on the right hand side of the hall to Liu Ze, who was not as strong as him.

In this regard, Liu Ze did not shirk. He just nodded slightly, and sat down in the first place.

Seeing this, Guo Yu, who was sitting high on the main seat over there, couldn't help but nod secretly with satisfaction. The person who knows the times is Junjie, and obviously this Niu Ben, who looks a little arrogant on the surface, is also a smart person who knows the times.

"General Liu, although I have heard the names of all the generals here, this is the first time we have met. Tell me about it. ”

"Well, that's the way it should be. When Meng Lang was subordinate, he forgot it, don't blame the marshal. When Liu Ze heard this, he first sued the crime. Then he got up and looked at Niu Ben and the others, and couldn't help but start to introduce Guo Yu to him one by one.

After a while, after everyone present was introduced by Liu Ze one by one, Guo Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed lightly, and couldn't help but speak again: "I already know about General Yang Han." Although the generals served Yuanmeng at the beginning, they were also their own masters.

Now, since the generals have suddenly woken up, the original incident should naturally be written off. So, I don't know if the generals are willing to help Ben Shuai this time, attack the Tartars, and return Xichuan Anning to avenge General Yang Han? ”

"It's as good as it gets." That's what we wanted.

Hearing Guo Yu's words, Liu Ze, Niu Ben and others present didn't think about it, so they responded.

"Good!" Seeing this, Guo Yu couldn't help but be happy when he heard it. "The generals are well aware of the righteousness, and the commander is very happy! In this way, this marshal will appoint you in the name of the generalissimo of my Great Chu Expedition to the West. ”

Guo Yu said this, then glanced at the generals in the hall, and couldn't help shouting with a solemn face: "Liu Ze listens to the order!" ”

"In!"

"This commander appoints you as the commander of my Great Chu Expedition to the Western Army, the commander of the original Yang Han Department, and all the remaining soldiers and horses."

"The last general obeys!"

"Niu Ben obeys the order!"

"In"

"This commander appoints you as the deputy commander of the headquarters, assists Liu Ze, and commands the soldiers and horses."

"The last general obeys!" In this regard, Niu Ben also heard and claimed to be.

Therefore, in this way, the remaining generals couldn't help but accept Guo Yu's canonization one after another. or as a brigade general, or as a battalion general, he became a member of the Chu army.
