Tan Tai pressed his hat with his hand, and the horse was already tired and panting, but he was still urging the horse.

The Eight Banners that followed him down, there was not even a single Niu Lu, and all of them looked gray, looking like lost dogs.

Defeated, defeated!

Tan Tai's heart hurt as if he had been drilled by a drill, how long had they not suffered such a fiasco, at least in Tan Tai's memory, there was almost nothing!

Of the 1,508 banners, there are only less than 400 people left, and the remaining 1,100 people have either been killed or are being killed!

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Tan Tai's eyes were wet, and he almost cried bitterly. He originally thought that he was as brave as iron, but he never thought that there would be such a weak time!

In addition to the Eight Banners assigned to their brothers' envoys in this battle, the main force was their brothers' own subordinates, and the loss of each one meant that their brothers' weight in front of the emperor became lighter. Moreover, judging from the hatred of the Ming people for them, those who are left behind are afraid that none of them will survive!

However, Tan Tai didn't know that things were not as terrible as he imagined, and when Tan Tai's banner fled with him, the two Ye Hebu brothers, who had been watching the excitement on the side but were miraculously not hit by stray arrows, finally reached a consensus.

"Sitku, you're right, you've found a great master, and the opportunity for our Yehe family is here again!" Morgeng's forehead was full of joy.

"Yes, brother, if it weren't for Li Chengliang's support, Aixinjue Luo would not be as good as a dog in our Ye He family, and now, we also have a good master!" Sitku's face was full of pride.

"If you want your master to pay attention to us, you have to work hard for your master, and you can't sit here...... Ah, there it is. Mo Ergeng suddenly thought of something, he grabbed Xiteku and rushed to the battlefield again: "We can help the master persuade him to surrender, Xiteku, if the banner soldiers surrender, the master will have to organize them into a team, and then we brothers, our brothers!" ”

Sitku's sudden realization!

If they can persuade dozens of Eight Banners to surrender, Yu Guozhen will naturally not treat the Eight Banners as a family guard, and he will have to pick a leader among them, except for their brothers, who else is suitable for this position?

Therefore, the two rushed to Zhang Zheng, and immediately volunteered to persuade them to surrender on the battlefield, Zhang Zheng first felt that these two Jiannu were also very bold, but then thought that this is also beneficial, the battle has reached this point, and the victory has become a foregone conclusion, but the combat effectiveness of Jianyu is not bad, and under the stubborn resistance, it will also cause casualties to the tiger guard.

No casualties are necessary, it is murder.

Therefore, Mo Ergeng and Si Teku rode out under the escort of several tiger guards, shouting everywhere, and those who were stubborn and resistant, heard from their mouths that Tan Tai had been defeated and fled, and their way back was cut off, and one by one they lost their fighting spirit, and those surnamed Zi Lie committed suicide with a knife, and those surnamed Zi Lie surrendered on their knees.

For Mor Geng'e and Xiteku, this was a bumper harvest, and in the end, the number of the Eight Banners they collected reached more than two hundred people!

That's half a cow!

However, strictly speaking, most of the more than 200 people are not Manchurian, most of them are from the Mengjun Banner, or Ye Hebu may not be completely concentric with Aixinjue Luo, Mo Ergeng and Xiteku of course concealed this matter, but just went to Zhang Zheng to ask for merit and reward.

But when they led people back to the artillery camp, they suddenly heard a male duck-like voice roaring: "Jianyu, kill our family, and Gonggong Gao will have a heavy reward!" ”

Suddenly, a group of officers and men in gorgeous armor and bright armor raised their muskets and swords, and they were about to pounce with their teeth and claws. Mo Ergeng was stunned for a moment, the eight banners he had surrendered had all surrendered their weapons, and when he saw this, he was panicked one by one, and some people scolded.

They all thought that it was the Ming army who deceived them, first deceived them into surrendering, and then killed them. The male duck on the opposite side was a little eunuch, and when he saw a stirring here, he was even more proud. Turning his face and shouting to Zhang Zheng, who was standing next to him: "Also, these cannons, the prisoners in the artillery camp, are all dedicated to Gonggong Gao, you are so rude......"

Just then, a burst of gunfire rang out.

The group of officers and men who rushed towards the captives stirred up a line of dust, and muskets were fired at their feet.

Zhang Zheng had a gloomy face, originally he wanted to let Mo Ergeng and Xiteku surrender, in order to reduce trouble and support Yu Guozhen as soon as possible, but the bias was that the battle situation had been decided, and Gao Qiqian in the city gate sent people to pick up the cheap!

This screaming little eunuch is the person next to Gao Qiqian!

"Bold, you want to rebel, you dare not listen to the orders of Gonggong Gao, you are ......"

"Killed." Zhang Zhengdao.

"Boom!"

The little eunuch was foaming at the mouth, but after the gunshot, the sound stopped abruptly!

Gao Qiqian on the city pass originally looked down excitedly, he sent people to seize the artillery battalion, to grab the first achievement of the Jianqing, in order to take credit, seeing his subordinates pointing below, he not only did not feel unhappy at all, but felt that the little eunuch was sensible and capable.

Then his face froze.

He saw that one of the "officers and soldiers" made a gesture, and then several officers and soldiers around him did not hesitate to pick up their muskets and directly bombard the little eunuch of his cronies!

Zhang Zheng raised his head, looked at Gao Qiqian above, and smiled coldly at him.

These trophies are all Tiger Guard's, even if these artillery cannons Tiger Guard can't look down on, these captives and petty officials are bent on execution, and it is not the turn of a dead eunuch to point fingers.

Even if Gao Qiqian himself, if he wants to come to the tiger's mouth to grab food, he will inevitably eat a messy meal!

This smile made Gao Qiqian's feet suddenly sweak and he sat on the ground.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen the toughness of these "officers and soldiers" with his own eyes, and even such a murderous Jianjiao was no different from a local chicken and a dog in front of them!

Not only relying on the advantage of firearms, Gao Qiqian noticed that even if it was a one-on-one cold weapon duel, most of the people below had an advantage!

Of course, he didn't know that anyone could enter the teaching group!

can be selected into the teaching regiment and trained as a grassroots officer, whether it is tactical literacy or individual fighting, it is the elite of the elite soldiers.

Even if it is an ordinary home guard, as long as it goes through three months of recruits, half a year of special training, and three months of actual combat, then its combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to that of ordinary prisoners.

Gao Qiqian knew very well the meaning of Zhang Zheng's smile, if he was not honest, the group of wolf-like soldiers below would not mind giving him a treat. In fact, if he hadn't kept shrinking on top of the city, Zhang Zheng wouldn't have been sure to kill one of them, and Zhang Zheng really wanted to do it. Following Yu Guozhen, what do they dare not do, anyway, their current identity is Deng Laiwei, and the big deal is to "mutiny" and escape.

This is also Yu Guozhen's encouragement to them, some things, for the sake of the overall situation, should be endured, but some things, there is no need to endure, they have Hoi An, this way out, they don't have to care too much about it.

"Below...... Who are the people below, go ask, go ask! Gao Qiqian wiped a cold sweat and said.

He is a eunuch, and most eunuchs are narrow-minded, how can he endure this kind of anger, his cronies have been killed, and the other party also threatens himself very clearly!

Cui Bingde next to him sneered in his heart.

This dead eunuch saw that the victory and defeat had been decided, so he sent people to hurry forward to grab the credit, first sent people to seize the artillery battalion, to take the lead of the construction of this captive, and then wanted to snatch the prisoners, acting absurdly, which made people despicable. If it was an ordinary Ming officer and soldier who was afraid of his power, he might have really succeeded, but this time he hit the iron plate.

At this time, Cui Bingde already knew what kind of people the five hundred people under him were.

This is clearly Yu Guozhen's family, no wonder he can carry such an attack from a captive!

Cui Bingde vaguely knew that Yu Guozhen was also a figure who listened to the heavens, such a character and Gao Qi were fighting, no matter who won or lost, it was not something he could interfere with, so he honestly kept his mouth shut.

After a while, someone came up and said: "Gonggong Gao, these people are Denglai soldiers, and Sun Lin, the general soldier of Denglai who is under that banner." ”

"Commander of Denglai...... How dare a small Denglai general soldier be so rebellious! Gao Qiqian gritted his teeth, and was about to attack, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

A general soldier of Denglai, naturally he would not dare to offend him, unless he ...... Behind this Den Lai general soldier stands a certain big guy who is not inferior to him!

Or, is this simply the arrangement of Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, Denglai soldiers, but it is indeed under Zhang Fengyi's control, their purpose is to provoke themselves to make mistakes, and then to put all the responsibility for Jianyu's ravaging of Gyeonggi on themselves?

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Qiqian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat again. This army has made such a contribution under the city, of course he can use his identity and power to bully and seize it, but if someone stabs this matter to Chongzhen, then if he investigates it carefully, does he still have so many mouths?

No, no, this account can't be counted now, but it has to be remembered, not only can it not be calculated with this guy now, but even ...... I have to take the lead in asking for credit for him.

Only by taking the lead in asking for credit for Sun Lin at this time, and taking revenge on him in the future, will he not be discovered by the Son of Heaven!

Gao Qiqian is very clear about Chongzhen's surname, if he can get Chongzhen's trust, then everything makes sense, but if he is suspected by Chongzhen, doing anything will anger the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention the suspicion of the potential city head, Zhang Zheng stayed under the city to deal with him, but Sun Lin happily went to hunt down Jianyu. When he saw the city gate of Lengkou Pass open and a team of officers and soldiers running out, Sun Lin knew that something was not quite right, after all, he was an official, and it was not easy to deal with the dead eunuch Gao Qiqian, so there would be nothing left to hand it over to Zhang Zheng.

As for whether Zhang Zheng will cause trouble for him - with Yu Guozhen here, Sun Lin doesn't think there will be any trouble that can't be cleaned up.

"How, have you seen Tan Tai?" After chasing for two miles, seeing that he was about to kill back, he asked his own soldiers.

"I haven't seen the banner of the building, but the guy is cunning and rolls up the flag!"

"He can't escape!" Sun Lin sneered: "It's okay, go and meet Yu Jimin!" ”
