Chapter 697: People's hearts are scattered
The eleventh road of the "God of War" pressed up, and quickly compressed the troops of Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Luo Rucai and other thieves to the vicinity of Fengyang Mansion.
Revisiting the old land, these thief bones should have a lot of emotion, but they don't know that they have entered the place of death.
To the west of Fengyang Mansion, there is Huainan Jiancheng, there is a battalion of men and horses to defend the peripheral roads, and Zhu Rongguo with 2,000 villagers from Haizhou to help defend the city, and he can't take it for a year with the ability to attack the fortifications of the Liukou.
To the east is Hongze Lake, where there is already a "God of War" inland river warship cruising, and the cannon told Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk that this road is not passable.
To the north is Suzhou, where the main force of the "God of War" is nearly 20,000 horses leaving Xuzhou and entering Suzhou on the way south.
The encirclement within a radius of 200 miles has been completed, and the elimination of all the rogue leaders is a death order issued by Huang Sheng, so that no one escapes the net.
Huang Sheng is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, and knows that the Ming Dynasty fights the rogue Kou without cutting the grass and not eradicating the roots, and since he has made a move, he must ensure that all the thieves who are surrounded are captured.
Since the arrangement has been completed, Fengyang Mansion, which is already quite poor, has suffered a large-scale invasion for the third time, and the common people have long dragged their families and left with the "God of War" propaganda team.
Hundreds of thousands of homeless criminals and hundreds of thousands of family members have been driven to a desperate situation, and it is impossible to get food on the spot, and there is no possibility of even arresting ordinary people and killing them to eat meat, and they can only survive if they can't kill each other, and if they don't get food, they will perish sooner or later.
The rogues have gold and silver treasures, but unfortunately this thing can't be eaten as food, they used to use these treasures to bribe the Ming army, and they could also buy the grain and grass of the Ming army at a high price, but unfortunately this time they were surrounded by the "God of War" people and horses.
Huang Sheng did not use any Ming army, and those who participated in the encirclement and suppression were all subordinate soldiers, so there was no need to worry about any generals dereliction of duty, let alone suspect that the generals under his command would buy road money and let the exiles escape, and the possibility of the "God of War" selling grain to the enemy did not exist.
Huang Sheng is so relieved that his soldiers are not only because of the high quality of his subordinates, but also because of the importance of using systems and laws to manage everything.
Military attachés at all levels are unable to form a hall of speech, because the pacification officers, adjutants, and junior officers perform their own duties, and the orders must be reasonable and legal before they can be implemented, and the leadership groups are not only teamwork but also supervise each other.
Every officer is under the watchful eye of the soldiers, and it is impossible for the young soldiers of knowledge to blindly obey, and even if there is a greedy officer, they cannot secretly engage in fraud.
The encirclement and suppression army can concentrate more than 20,000 iron cavalry, and it is impossible for Zhang Xianzhong to lead the horse team to leave the infantry and family members behind.
In order to cooperate with the search of the mountains, the hunting dog search team has come with 1,000 people and 4,000 dogs.
The Air Force dispatched 500 people to the front line, and Sun Jiuge and they lifted 20 hot air balloons into the air every day.
After three or five years of development, the Air Force's hot air balloons have also been upgraded, the thermal efficiency has been improved, and the quality of the balloon has been able to reassure people.
The time of flight training has been long, the skills of the pilots have been greatly improved, the number of pilots has also swelled several times, and the flight regulations have been gradually improved.
The Air Force continued to fly over the area of activity of the Rogue and drop leaflets with pictures and texts, the content of which was, of course, ordering them to disarm and surrender, and to surrender unconditionally.
Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, and Luo Rucai's men and horses had about 300,000 people compressed near Fengyang Mansion, and they could not advance or retreat.
The surrounding people were transferred in advance by the "God of War" propaganda team, and the rogues couldn't even find a target for robbery, there was little food left, and ordinary minions and their families were now barely able to eat bark and grass roots.
Since being surrounded and suppressed by the "God of War", the Liukou tribes have been driven away in the past few months, and they came to Fengyang Mansion again in a daze without fighting a decent battle.
In fact, it's not that the rogue doesn't want to fight, but he can't fight.
The "God of War" cavalry may be the best equipped and most powerful existence in the world, even the small steel horseshoe is ahead of this era, and the bite force of the iron nail of the horse's shoe is stronger than the iron nail of this era.
Everyone under the command of the all-powerful "God of War" with hot and cold weapons is an intellectual youth, and the war horses under his crotch are fat and strong.
There were a few times when the rogues who didn't know whether they were alive or dead were ready to organize a counterattack, but unfortunately the "God of War" iron cavalry "rumbled" and rushed to kill like a torrent of steel, and the knights who put down their armor could not see their appearance clearly.
The rogues felt that their opponents were as ruthless as cold steel, and then the "God of War" cavalry wiped out their mustered courage with a volley of guns.
Then there are the rogues running wild all over the mountains, and their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as others, and they can't go to war.
Fortunately, the cavalry of the "God of War" is often driven away, with the purpose of capturing prisoners, and basically does not kill the rogues who do not try to resist.
Soon the rogue found the clue, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he paid close attention to whether it was a surprise attack by the cavalry of the "God of War".
found that it was the "God of War" who killed them, and most of the rogues did not dare to resist, and too many rogues even escaped and fell directly to the side of the road and begged.
Therefore, the number of Huang Sheng's encirclement and suppression army is increasing every day, and most of the rogues who choose to surrender belong to the coercion who have not been coerced for a long time, and most of them are honest peasants, and after becoming prisoners, they can finally eat their stomachs every day, and everyone feels that they have been blessed by misfortune.
The captives were very active, assisting the army in setting up camp, feeding the horses and doing everything they could, completely treating themselves as army laborers, and not a single one tried to escape.
In the summer of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and Huang Sheng, who had completed the arrangement of closing the door and beating dogs, was not in a hurry or impatient, and waited for the rogues to surrender.
Of course, he will not let go of the criminal leader, as long as the thief head is equivalent to the general flag officer of the Ming army, he will be sentenced to more than ten years of labor reform, and sent to several mining areas to become free labor.
At the same time, a powerful propaganda campaign was in full swing, distributing illustrated leaflets and loudspeakers announcing that only the first evildoers would be held accountable and that the congregation would receive forgiveness.
Qin Huai, Lu Wenhua and other propaganda team officers shouted hoarsely, looking at the more and more minions who came from the Liukou side to surrender every day, and they were full of energy.
The Liukou has long been in a vacant military mood, and the little minions are now not on guard against sudden attacks on the Ming army, but are paying close attention to the big minions in the old camp.
As long as it is found that there is no old camp horse team nearby, there will be a few people, even a dozen or even hundreds of people, and gallop wildly towards the place where the "God of War" people and horses are known to be stationed.
When the cavalry of the "God of War" found that there was such a team approaching and did not attack at all, the cavalry would let them go to hold the pursuers behind them.
Many timid rogues watched the bold gang successfully run to the side of the Ming army, and they were extremely envious, and the discussion of how to successfully surrender caused the little minions left behind to itch even more.
The hearts of the rogues are scattered, and of course the team can't be led.
