At the end of the afternoon, the brutal slaughter at the head of the city finally came to an end and stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The promised 2,000 heads are complete.

Wang Chengen, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, returned to the camp and asked Hong Chengchou for instructions to stop on foot.

Hong Chengchou was not so angry that he sent someone to count whether there were 2,000 corpses in the hill-like pile, but directly ordered the chief soldier Wang Chengen to arrange for 3,000 officers and soldiers to wait for the surrender of the thief army in the city.

Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief, commanded the officers and soldiers in the camp, moved tents, grain and grass, baggage and other items out of the camp, and re-established the camp on the hillside where Hong Chengchou had ridden before him, and hurriedly transformed the previously spacious officer and army camp into a prisoner camp to accommodate the thieves.

The prisoners' camp was surrounded by no tents, weapons, food, baggage, etc., except for a log fence buried deep in the ground and standing high above the ground.

On top of the tall watchtowers at the four corners, stood the archers of the official army.

After all this was arranged, Hong Chengchou asked Wang Chengen to stay in the prisoner camp with some of his men and horses, while he came to the outpost camp closer to the north gate of Ningxiang County, under the escort of Zhang Heng, the commander of the Chinese army, who had recently been used.

This Zhang Heng, twenty-four or five years old, was one of the Shaanxi soldiers who had previously followed Zhong Dewu from the siege of the thief army king's own department.

After following Zhong Dewu into Hong Chengchou's Shaanxi Fubiao Chinese Army, Zhang Heng stood out and was appreciated by Hong Chengchou, who was bent on subduing the Shaanxi soldiers, and was soon promoted to the chief of the personal soldiers who guarded the left and right.

At this time, Zhang Heng was ordered to come to the city and conveyed the arrangements for the thief army to go out of the city and surrender to the leader of the thief army who was waiting for instructions in the city.

Not long afterward, the city gate hole under the north gate of Ningxiang County was opened from the inside, and the soil, rock, sandbags, logs and other debris were removed one by one.

Wu Yangui, the "king of the whole world", who offered a plan to surrender by fraud, was jointly elected by Wang Zuojiao and other leaders of the thief army as the first person to surrender to the official army out of the city.

Wu Yangui knew that he had followed Wang Jiayin and others to kill officials and rebel and do a lot of evil, so although he advocated fraudulent surrender at this time, he had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi who had always been ruthless in this rumor, would abide by the agreement.

But at this time, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and at this time, you can only go out of the city and surrender.

In the afternoon, the time had passed, the city gate was opened, Wu Yangui led the remaining more than 400 troops under his command, walked out of the city gate, under the musket team led by Li Wenyun raised their guns and aimed, according to the instructions of Zhang Heng, the chief of the personal soldiers under the command of Hong Chengchou, untied the saber, bow and arrow on his waist, and took off the beloved mountain armor snatched from the hands of the official army step by step.

The craftsmanship of the mountain armor is complex and difficult to make, so even among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely precious, unless it is a family of generals, otherwise, few people can wear it completely, but I don't know which family this Wu Yangui snatched this set of armor from.

Wu Yangui, the "King of the Whole World", removed his armor and weapons, was full of reluctance, placed them in the position designated by Zhang Heng, and then knelt down slowly at the official camp, and shouted loudly: "Grass people Wu Yangui, kneel down Lord Hong!" ”

Wu Yangui shouted such words loudly while lying on the ground with five bodies on the ground.

And the thieves behind him also threw away the swords, bows and arrows in their hands, and honestly lifted the already small armor on their bodies one by one.

Most of the thieves are unarmoured, and even having a weapon at their disposal is a privilege among the many thieves.

Therefore, the best weapons and armor are the mark of the leader and the backbone of the thief army.

Surrounded by Li Wenyun's musket team, Zhong Dewu led his men and horses to conduct a quick search of the surrendered thief army minions one by one, and after the search was completed, the names and places of origin were registered, and then these soldiers were led to the prepared prisoner camp for settlement.

And Wu Yangui, the king of the whole world, naturally did not need to register his name and place of origin, and after bowing and kneeling to show his identity, he was directly led by Zhang Heng and others, not far from the outpost camp in front.

The thieves who stood on top of the city and secretly watched all this, looked at Wu Yangui and his subordinates after they surrendered out of the city, and sighed in their hearts.

It's just that since they chose to surrender and offered to return to their hometowns for resettlement, now that the officials and soldiers are doing this, these leaders have nothing to say.

What's more, at this time, it is already difficult to ride a tiger, and they don't dare to go back on their word if they are given a hundred guts.

"It seems that the matter of deception and rebellion has to be considered in the long run!"

Wang Zuohang thought so in his heart, walked down the city with heavy steps, and began to prepare for the surrender of the city.

After Wu Yangui started, the thieves in the city were also relieved, and there was no longer any hesitation, one by one, in batches, in groups, and they went out of the city.

In the open space outside the city gates, those with weapons dropped their weapons, and those with armor were unarmoured, and then, after search and registration, they were led to the prisoners' camp far to the north.

Along the way, there were officers and soldiers armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns waiting for them, and these surrendered thieves, although they had not yet been roped at this time, did not dare to resist at all.

But even so, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to take so many thieves prisoners lightly.

The scene that Wang Zuojiao and the others saw at the head of the city was quite acceptable to them, but they were disarmed and their names were registered, and they were neither shot, nor beaten, nor even tied up.

This kind of treatment is not bad for the surrendered thief army.

However, what they couldn't see when they stood on the top of the city was that after Wu Yangui, the "king of the whole world", was taken to the outpost camp closest to the city, and pushed into a military tent, not only was he quickly tied up tightly, but he was also gagged, just wanted to say a word, but he didn't have the slightest chance.

And what Wang Zuojiao and others standing on the head of the city was even more invisible was the fate of Wu Yangui, the "king of the whole world", who was taken to the prisoner camp.

In a fence similar to an urn city, the sergeant of Wang Chengen, the commander of the Shaanxi General Army, who had been waiting for a long time, put long ropes one after another around the necks of these people, tied dead knots, and strung them together under the threat of knives and guns.

From this point on, it really turned them into grasshoppers on a rope.

Stringing hundreds of people together with ropes did not prevent them from breathing or eating, but if they were unarmed and wanted to resist or escape, it was impossible.

The whole process of surrender was long and tedious, starting from the time of Shen in the afternoon and continuing until the time of nightfall, three hours, not only the thieves who went out of the city to surrender, but also the officers and soldiers who were responsible for the surrender, they were also exhausted.

However, when night fell, the surrender of the entire Ningxiang county was finally completed.

All the soldiers under Wang Zuohang's command surrendered, and were taken to the prisoner camp one by one, and then tied with ropes around their necks to form a string, and were placed in the designated area of the camp.

Food, of course not.

Drunk, likewise not.

And Wang Zuojiao and the five leaders under his command, from the "whole king" Wu Yangui and down, were all pushed to the ground at the moment when they were brought into the camp where Hong Chengchou was, tied up with flowers, gagged, and then detained separately.

I didn't even have the opportunity to meet with the legendary governor of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, to show his loyalty.

At this moment, these people's hearts were all frightened, and it was only at this time that they suddenly discovered that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court were not only difficult to speak, but also this Shaanxi governor Hong Chengchou was even more worthy of his reputation at all, absolutely "ruthless and cunning"!

It's just that at this time, what's the use of repenting and repenting, since you have chosen to surrender or surrender by fraud, you have to bear all the possible consequences that will follow.

At this time, the time has passed, although it is summer, it is dark late, but at the time of the day, the night has also fallen on the land of Shanxi.

Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Shaanxi, finished handling the placement of the last batch of prisoners of the thief army, handed over the task of guarding the prisoner camp to Li Wenyun and Zhong De, and then left the crowded, crowded, and smelly prisoner camp.

"Lord Fuyuan, all the thieves and prisoners have been surrendered! Do you want to enter the city tonight, what to do with those imprisoned thieves, please show me! ”
