While cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Wen also asked Yin Yue and Guo Zhigang to find all the cooks in the major restaurants in the city as promised, and requisitioned the people to start burying pots and cooking outside the city, so that these tired soldiers could rest for a while.

It's just that the meat tube is enough, but the wine is not, because it is not yet the time to drink the celebration wine, the Han Eight Banner Army has only been defeated, and the Ming army is still pursuing, plus there may be some hidden worries in Lanxi County, so this meal must be eaten as soon as possible, and then continue to pursue, and these Qing troops must not have the opportunity to escape too much.

With the busyness of the people, cooks, and a large number of people who had gone out of the city to help the Ming army cook, these soldiers were soon able to eat, and Chen Wen also waited for the report of Tanma.

The Qing army fled westward, but it was no better than him, the Ming army in Zhejiang, but it was the local head snake, and soon with the cooperation of Hou Guoyuan and An Youfu, who were in charge of the pursuit, most of the infantry cavalry was driven to the area south of Yongguang Temple at the corner of the river.

This was a well-established strategy, and the small river about ten meters wide in the south of the Qing army would turn a few miles west of the battlefield and then flow back to the west. The area south of Yongguang Temple was just around the corner, and after the Ming army drove it there, there was only a small bridge to pass through, and the Ming army could quickly annihilate it there.

As for the other routs, judging from the return of the horses, they mainly came from the left wing of the Qing army, which was composed of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou Garrison, but not all of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou Garrison were on the left flank, and those Niu Lu who were injured in the siege battle were basically behind the battle as a reserve, and after the collapse of the army, they left the wounded and fled westward, as for which Niu Lu ran to where is unknown.

When Chen Wen arrived there, he saw thousands of Qing troops being squeezed around the corner of the river, and even if the Ming army did not continue to advance at this moment, there were constantly Qing troops standing by the river being squeezed down the river like dumplings.

If the local Qing army in Zhejiang, especially the soldiers of the green camp in those places, are basically Zhejiang, they can more or less know some water, even if it is a river channel more than ten meters wide, it may not be good. It's a pity that these Qing troops are all sharp soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and these Niu Lu are all established in Liaodong, and there are really few people who know water. Every time the Qing army fell down, even if they could only stand up to knee depth, they were there to shout for help, and the water was not as hard as the bottom of the swimming pool, and the soft mud made these landlubbers unable to even climb up, so they could only struggle for their lives there, but to no avail.

For a while, the Qing army that fell into the water struggled like crazy, and the ones on the bank were constantly squeezed down, and those who were farthest from the river bank and closest to the Ming army could only rely on the Qing army behind them in fear and constantly retreated.

Suddenly, a war horse was squeezed to the ground by a large group of Qing troops, and the moment the horse's body fell to the ground, it also pressed several Qing troops around it, and the crowd fell like dominoes, squeezing more than a dozen Qing soldiers into the river.

The Qing army here was not less than 4,000, but the Ming army actually had less than 2,000 soldiers, less than half of the Qing army. But these 4,000 people have long since lost their hearts, and they can no longer organize like that plate of loose sand. Even if someone wanted to reorganize them, this dense crowd did not have any room to move the whole team, and they were always pressed by the outnumbered Ming army in this small area and could not save themselves.

As for the small bridge, it had already collapsed, and it is said that the first Qing troops rushed up were too many, and this old wooden bridge, which usually creaked when passing a donkey cart, ended its mission......

Squeezing these Qing troops into the river and using water as soldiers is a clever plan to solve the problem easily, but these elites of the Eight Banners of the Han Army came from afar, and the walls of Jinhuafu City collapsed again, and also caused a lot of damage to the defenders, so it was really cheap for them to drown.

After whispering with a herald, I saw that the herald walked to the Ming army and shouted to the Qing army: "Listen to the Eight Banners of the Han Army on the other side, for the sake of the Han people, I will give you a way to live." ”

"From this moment on, within half an hour, those who surrender will not die. If a horse is sacrificed, he may be released and return home after the war; If there is a person who has donated a share of the allocation of one person, two people can be released after the war; If there is one person who sacrifices the ox, five people can be released after the battle...... If there is one person who sacrifices Gushan Ezhen, 20 people can be released after the war. Half an hour later, those who do not descend will be killed! ”

"Descend early!"

"Descend early!"

"Descend early!"

“……”

In the chorus of the Ming army, these defeated soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army no longer had the will to resist in this coercion and temptation. If you abandon your weapons and surrender, you can avoid death, and if you make a contribution according to the rules of the Ming army, you can also be released, although they may not really dare to believe this, but it is the only way out in front of them. In particular, the promise of releasing and returning home made these defeated soldiers sprout a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation where there was no way to retreat and there were chasing soldiers.

It's just that this hope is not easy to with, just abandoning weapons and surrendering can avoid death, but the Han army banner people like them, I'm afraid that no one will dare to put them, they will be incorporated into the army, and if the Ming army is useless, even if they don't die now, sooner or later it will be a dead end, and only by trying to escape from the clutches of the Ming army as soon as possible is the real way to live.

In this way, the chaos began with the struggle for the ownership of a war horse, and quickly spread among the rout of the Qing army. The hope of life is only this half an hour, everyone wants to live better, war horses, officers, these immediately became the objects of competition among the soldiers.

Compared with the cavalry that was surrounded by the rout, the officers of the Qing army were all riding war horses, and their more or less goshha were also made of horses. But those officers are all armed with swords, and if they want to escort them to surrender, they must always fight, and at the same time, they must also take into account the pairs of tigerish eyes around them.

In an instant, the area where the defeated soldiers gathered became a hell on earth, and the shadows of swords and swords flashed between their original comrades, even more fierce than when they had fought with the Ming army on the battlefield before.

Soon, in order to escape from that hell, or escape from that hell, the Qing army escaped one after another, first with war horses, then with low-ranking officers such as Pashku, and then with some prestigious soldiers leading other Qing troops to besiege those officers and their Goshha. These Qing army routs either threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender twenty or thirty meters in front of the Ming army's formation, or simply led war horses and escorted officers to the side of the Ming army and nodded and asked to record this credit in the book.

Half an hour later, there were not many Qing troops left in that area, and some were only the remains of corpses in one place. The surrendered Qing troops had been disarmed, and one by one by the Ming army were tied around their necks and hands, and escorted back to Jinhuafu like slaves, where they were to be held for a period of time to await post-war disposition. The rest of the Qing troops have either just climbed up from the river bank one foot deep and one foot shallow, or they are still in a stalemate with some dead cause elements who have sworn to die.

Half an hour has passed, and there are very few Qing troops left, Chen Wen has no time or interest in waiting any longer, just with a wave of his hand, the Ming army firearms team strode forward, and there was no Qing army standing in that area after a fatal scream of firearms and arrows. As for the few fish that slipped through the net, some of the soldiers were assigned to clear and suppress, except for those troops who escorted the Qing army back, the other Ming troops all followed Chen Wen to the northwest direction and rushed to Lanxi County, which was dozens of miles away.
