Chapter 208: Unexpected Results

The moment Liukou's handsome banner was cut, the army's morale completely collapsed.

The magistrate had already discovered that the Liukou had begun a large-scale rout, and the opportunity could not be lost, at this time, it was necessary to lead the soldiers defending the city to rush out of the city to fight. Although he didn't know very well where the reinforcements came from, he was too familiar with the battle flags of the Ming Dynasty and the clothes worn by the soldiers.

The history of the county government and the inspection of the inspection department have long been prepared.

The power of faith is infinite, seeing the reinforcements, seeing the rout of the rogues, the soldiers defending the city are already eager to try, and they have been pressed and beaten by the rogues, and they have been holding back a lot of anger in their hearts.

The gates of the city were opened, and nearly a thousand people rushed out, rushing directly towards the rogue.

Under the front and back attacks, the Liukou was completely defeated, and the handsome flag was cut, indicating that there was a problem with the big handsome, and the dragons were leaderless, and at this time, they could only flee for their lives.

Liu Tiehan and Zijin Liang fought directly.

Originally, I thought that Zijin Liang must be the enemy of 10,000 people, as the big leader of the Liukou and the organizer of the 36th Battalion, he must be extremely powerful, brave and good at fighting, when he started to fight, Liu Tiehan was a little cautious, and to put it mildly, in terms of momentum, he lost to Zijin Liang.

It's a pity that after a few rounds of fighting, Liu Tiehan found that this was not the case at all, Zijin Liang was heroic, but his ability to fight on horseback seemed to be inferior to himself.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, Liu Tiehan completely had the upper hand, if he hadn't thought about capturing Zijin Liang alive, he would have knocked Zijin Liang off his horse long ago.

Liu Tiehan didn't know what to say, his brutal training in the Jiangning County military camp had produced a huge effect, if it was a reckless battle before, relying on a lot of strength, now it is ability plus skill.

Zijin Liang's face turned pale. He was surrounded by soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, and his own soldiers around him were almost killed.

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Zijin Liang was ready to commit suicide.

He didn't have a chance with a spear behind him. Picking off his steel knife, Liu Tiehan got thousands of closets, grabbed his belt, and forcibly ripped him off the horse.

The soldiers around Liu Tiehan began to chant loudly.

"General Liu captured Zijin Liang ......"

The shouts grew louder and louder.

This is the last straw that crushes the Liukou, the Liukou who are still resisting, hearing such a shout, seeing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, holding the handsome flag, completely give up resistance. Scattered and fled.

There were also some rogues who knelt on the ground and surrendered.

The magistrate finally met Su Tiancheng.

"Your Excellency, your lordship, you saved the people of Yingshan County."

"You're welcome, I'm under the order of the Ministry of War to exterminate the rogues who invaded Nanzhili, this is within the scope of my duties."

Outside Yingshan County, it has slowly fallen silent.

The results are still in the process of being counted. However, Zijin Liang had already been brought to Su Tiancheng.

Look at the biggest leader of this famous rogue gangster. Su Tiancheng suddenly felt that he had completely changed the course of history.

"Zijin Liang, I'm afraid you're still thinking about becoming a king and losing a king."

Zi Jin Liang looked at Su Tiancheng, and a trace of surprise flashed on his expressionless face. He couldn't believe that the Ming generals who defeated him and annihilated his entire army were so young.

"Hehe, this official is Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County. This officer admired your courage and organized the 36th battalion of rogue bandits to gather in Shanxi, but you are still rogue bandits. ”

"You, you are Su Tiancheng."

Zijin Liang hissed and finally spoke.

"Yes, I am Su Tiancheng."

Zijin Liang looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I was defeated, I was convinced, when I was in Henan, I lost to you, you were in Henan for disaster relief, I don't know what magic Lu Dao used, the farmers did not support us, supported the government, at that time, I knew that Lu Dao, you must be our biggest opponent, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Su Tiancheng squinted his eyes and did not speak, in this world, there is no magic, officials have the people in their hearts, and they can be supported if they care about the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Master Su, it's the first time I've seen it today, such a powerful Ming army, my many brothers, if I meet you, it will be difficult to have a good result, but I still have to say that I will rebel in the next life."

"Zijinliang, this official understands what you mean, in desperation, you can only rebel, you can't starve to death, unfortunately, your belief has been shaken, the official said unceremoniously, what you think of, is it really to let the peasants have food, how can you do it, in the opinion of the official, the reason for your rebellion is feasible, but your actions are despicable, what is the land, what everyone has food, your ultimate goal, I am afraid it is also the king and hegemony."

"What is the king, the general, what the eight kings, the king of Zuojin, the king of the reincarnation, to put it mildly, are all a raccoon dog, in the name of rebellion, their own power, the official admits that in some places, disasters are repeated, the peasants have no food, the local officials do not care about the life and death of the people, greedy and corrupt, so on the one hand, the official wants to exterminate you rogues, on the other hand, to improve the people's livelihood, if you meet those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the official is not lenient, the former magistrate of Mengjin County, is the best example."

Zijin Liang raised his head, thinking about what to say, but after thinking about it for a while, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Luo Chang took the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and waited a little anxiously.

Most of the rogues who escaped from the town were killed, and the remaining surrendered rogues were kept in the woods by the roadside after cleaning up the battlefield.

The scout rode over, his face flushed.

"Report, the rogues are completely defeated and are coming this way."

Luo Chang pulled out the steel knife.

"Brothers, be ready, you can't spare one of the rogue's cavalry, you must kill them all."

The distance of the four-mile road is only a few minutes to ride a horse.

The cavalry of the Liukou, after all, it is faster to escape, what they thought of, although the commander was caught, but there are still many sergeants, after fleeing back to Huguang, they can organize again, elect a new leader, and they can also rebel. Besides, there are still two thousand foot soldiers waiting in the town.

When the shouts and drums suddenly appeared, Liukou's body was still trembling, they had lost the courage to resist, there was an ambush of the Ming army here, you can imagine what the situation was in the town.

At the beginning of the battle, many of the rogue cavalry were still in a panic, and they were cut off their horses before they even had time to swing their swords.

Luo Chang didn't expect that the fight would go so smoothly, and the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion didn't expect it, they thought that there might be a fierce fight, but they didn't expect it to be so simple, and there was no decent resistance.

When interrogating a captive, Luo Chang learned that Zijin Liang had been captured alive.

When the Liukou foot soldiers fled, it was a little dark, according to Sun Yuankun's arrangement, Luo Chang let go of most of the foot soldiers, and did not kill them all, there was still an ambush in the town, and these people were handed over to An Qingwei's sergeants.

The battle in the town seemed boring, Zeng Yu led more than a thousand soldiers, and when he rushed into the town, the Liukou's foot soldiers had not yet reacted, and I don't know where Lu Dao came from such a team of Ming cavalry, but unfortunately the result was similar to what Su Tiancheng expected, it became chasing pigs and sheep, and many Liukou ran in the direction of the county seat.

Zeng Yu was a little ashamed, he remembered that Su Tiancheng said something like this, the focus of exterminating the Liukou is to kill the enemy, not to drive them away.

Therefore, after achieving a superficial victory, Zeng Yu mercilessly reprimanded the sergeant.

After dark, a large number of rogues fled to the front of the town, this time, Zeng Yu gave a death order, if anyone still wants to drive away the rogues, unwilling to kill the enemy, correct the law on the spot, and the military merits are all calculated by the number of heads.

The rogues who fled to the town had more than 2,000 foot soldiers.

They never imagined that they were facing a catastrophe, and if they surrendered outside the county seat, they would still be able to save their lives.

After An Qingwei's sergeant launched an attack, he found that these rogues had no morale at all, similar to lambs to be slaughtered, and military merit was calculated according to the number of heads, and no one would think about leaving a living mouth and gathering as many heads as possible.

When the rogues realized that the situation was wrong, it was too late, and they surrendered on their knees, and they were also beheaded.

Zeng Yu also discovered such a situation, and hurriedly asked the soldiers around him to stop such behavior.

At that time, the results of the battle came out.

Outside the county seat of Yingshan County, the Xiao cavalry battalion led by Luo Chang and the sergeants of An Qingwei led by Zeng Yu killed a total of more than 4,000 Liukou, captured Zijinliang and more than 5,000 Liukou, and the remaining more than 1,000 Liukou, who did not know where to go.

There were 247 dead soldiers in the Jiangning County Inspection Division, 35 dead soldiers in the Xiaocai Battalion, and 15 dead soldiers in Anqingwei, and the serious and minor injuries are still in the process of being counted.

The sergeant defending the city of Yingshan County killed more than 2,000 people.

With such a huge result, it is said that he should be happy, but the Jiangning County Inspection Department has the most soldiers killed in battle, Su Tiancheng is a little depressed, this is also a matter of no way, the brothers he brought are undertaking the most difficult tasks, as for the soldiers who died in Yingshan County, it does not belong to the category of his consideration.

The magistrate of Yingshan County prepared dinner, and the gentry and wealthy households in the county took out their own wine and meat.

Su Tiancheng, Sun Yuankun and others, after discussion, decided to leave Yingshan County after a night's rest, and went directly back to Jiangning County.

As for the captured war horses, Su Tiancheng did not hesitate to take them for himself.

Annoyed, these more than 5,000 prisoners of war had to be escorted to Nanjing.

The rogues were still exterminated, and the mission was accomplished.

At night, Su Tiancheng wrote out the recital, and Qu Qingze arranged for the local Jinyi guard to send the recital to the capital and Nanjing as quickly as possible.

This night, Su Tiancheng slept very steadily, and the soldiers of the Jiangning County Inspection Department were really sharpened this time, reflecting extraordinary combat effectiveness. (To be continued.) )
