……
Xu Sanxing's number was too small to pursue King Qing at all. Escorting King Qing to escape are all King Qing's personal soldiers, each of them is not brave and good at fighting, at least they are absolutely loyal to King Qing, and dare to protect King Qing with their lives.
King Qing still didn't know how many Longteng troops had robbed the camp, which made him not dare to join the army at all, but chose to flee to Tongguan.
"Zeng San, take ten people to the river beach and light three bonfires, and inform Lord Dai that we have succeeded in robbing the camp." Xu Sanxing ordered.
"My lord, King Qing fled, but the people on the other side don't know, let's make a fake King Qing's head, saying that King Qing has been killed in battle, and the rebels on the other side must be difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and now it's only the time of Mao, there is still a while before dawn, and the enemy army is leaderless, maybe Lord Dai can fish in troubled waters and make a bigger profit." Zeng San suggested.
"It's a brilliant plan. By the way, take King Qing's crown clothes with him, and then take a group of prisoners to shout loudly, 'King Qing is dead', so that everyone on the other side of the river can hear it. Xu Sanxing nodded and said.
"No." Zeng San said.
……
Zeng San rushed to the edge of the river beach with ten men and hundreds of prisoners, and he first ordered three bonfires to be lit, and then said loudly to the others: "Everyone listen to me shout, King Qing is dead." ”
"King Qing is dead!" Zeng San shouted first.
"King Qing is dead!" The others shouted along.
"Be louder, I can't even hear you, if you don't shout as hard as you can, don't blame me for being rude?" Zeng San scolded angrily.
"King Qing is dead!" The others shouted desperately again.
……
Hearing the news that King Gyeong was dead, the two armies on the other side of the river reacted differently.
The rebel camp was blown up in an instant, and the whole camp was in chaos. But most of the rebels are from the border army, and their military literacy is far from as bad as Xu Sanxing and others imagined. After a moment of chaos, it was controlled by the officers in the barracks. Now the situation on the other side of the river is unknown, if King Qing is fine, the officers of the rebel army think that there is still hope to turn defeat into victory, at least they can safely withdraw to Tongguan, after all, there are only more than 10,000 troops on the other side of the river, and there are more than 30,000 troops on this side, if King Qing really has an accident, these officers have the army in their hands, and they have the conditions to negotiate.
On the side of the Longteng army, there was a cheer, Dai Xinsi originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack the rebels, but when the troops were deployed, the riots of the rebels had basically stabilized. In the end, Dai Xinsi finally sent 1,000 people to receive Xu Sanxing and others.
Persuasion, now it is the turn of the Longteng Army to persuade surrender. Dai Xinsi decided to send an envoy to persuade the rebels to surrender.
The rebels obviously wanted to delay Dai Xinsi's persuasion to surrender, and now that the situation on the other side of the river is unknown, the rebels will consider whether to surrender after hoping to get the situation out. Dai Xinsi also knew the rebels' intentions, he would definitely not give the rebels such a long time to think about it, and a day later, the reinforcements of the Longteng Army would arrive in Fenglingdu.
"Tell Xia Yousong of the rebels that after today's unitary hour, the Longteng Army will no longer accept surrender." Dai Xinsi said coldly. Xia Yousong was originally a general in Yongchang, Gansu, and one of the first border generals to defect to King Su.
……
Regarding Dai Xinsi's ultimatum, the rebel generals discussed again.
"The whereabouts of the prince are unknown now, and our army's food and grass are only enough to last for three days, even if you save a little, it can only last for five days at most." Guerrilla Wu Dengtai said.
"If the prince is fine, he should have gone to Tongguan at this moment, otherwise he would have returned to the barracks a long time ago." Guerrilla Jiang Zhao analyzed.
When they first heard the news that King Qing was dead, the rebel generals believed it, but after a while, when they saw Xu Sanxing's actions, they all thought that King Qing might be fine. The generals of the rebel army knew the rules of the court better than the new generals of the Longteng Army.
In this era, even if King Qing dies in battle, it is not Xu Sanxing who can cut off his head, even Xiong Tingbi does not dare to cut off King Qing's head. insulting King Qing's corpse, even if Xu Sanxing made such a great feat, at most he could only offset the merits, and it depended on Zhu Youxiao to come forward in person.
"Even if King Qing has fled to Tongguan, and now there are only 10,000 troops in Tongguan, King Qing will definitely not be able to come back to rescue us for the time being." Xia Yousong said.
"Dai Xinsi gave us the deadline today, why is he pressing it so tightly? He should know that we don't have much food and grass, and once we run out of food and grass, our army will definitely collapse without a fight. Wu Dengtai said.
"There are two possibilities, one is that the reinforcements of the Longteng Army are about to arrive; First, Dai Xinsi was afraid that our army's reinforcements would arrive early and miss the opportunity. Xia Yousong said.
"I think the former is more likely, Tongguan is unlikely to send reinforcements, unless Prince Su returns to the division." Jiang Zhao said.
"No matter what the situation is, immediately send someone to the other side to take a look, and send scouts to expand the search area to see if the reinforcements of the Longteng Army are about to arrive?" Xia Yousong said.
……
Dai Xinsi didn't dare to attack the rebels, the rebels on the opposite side were several times larger than the Longteng army, and once the fight started, it was really unpredictable. At the time of the unitary hour, Dai Xinsi once again sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender. This time, the rebel generals decided to surrender after deliberation. Although they did not find any trace of the reinforcements of the Dragon Teng Army for the time being, the scouts who came back from the other side of the river brought news.
According to the scouts, the other side of the river has been completely controlled by the Longteng Army, and the Longteng Army has begun to build a defensive position, just looking at the layout of this position, this position is obviously unilaterally aimed at the rebels on the other side of the river. Through this position, the rebel generals realized that they must have no reinforcements, otherwise, the position could not only be unilaterally aimed at them, since their reinforcements have not yet arrived, it must be the reinforcements of the Longteng Army are about to arrive.
"Send five hundred sergeants to receive the rebel prisoners overnight." Dai Xinsi said.
"What to do with the officers of the rebels?"
"All of them will be taken into the care of the city, and I will only promise to protect their lives and give them to intercede in front of Your Majesty, and as for what to do with them in the end, it is up to Your Majesty to decide." Dai Xinsi said with a smile.
"But ......"
"Nothing, do as I command." Dai Xinsi said.
"No."
……
In the battle of Fenglingdu, the Longteng Army once again shocked the world. The 5,000 Longteng army defeated King Qing's 50,000 rebels, captured nearly 40,000 people, and less than 5,000 fled back to Tongguan. The impact of this battle was extremely great, and the empire, which was originally fluctuating, gradually stabilized, especially the feudal kings who were in the swing in various places were quieted down in an instant.
Lin Dan Khan originally considered taking the opportunity to use troops against the Ming Dynasty, but now he began to prepare for the westward move with an iron heart. And Bu Lost Rabbit is now in a dilemma, if Lin Dan Khan moves west, Kuku and Tuncheng are the targets that Lin Dan Khan must attack.
