Xie Shence squinted at the sun for a while.

After a while, by the time the battlefield was cleared, the sun was already setting in the west.

At this time, the three jumpers and several Ti rode fast horses from the side of the mountain road.

"Childe, Governor Zhang has surrounded Cuifeng Mountain."

The three jumpers found Xie Shence, turned over and dismounted, and before he had time to salute, he opened his mouth to report the situation to Xie Shence.

"What's wrong with the four surnames?"

The three jumpers took a breath and said, "The patriarch of the fourth surname has been controlled, and together with one of their old fellows in Taiyuan Mansion, they have also been imprisoned by Tiqi. Moreover, their forces in Yangquan City have also been controlled. ”

"How many casualties did the Ti Cavalry have?"

"When I left, I got the news that six were dead and more than a dozen were injured."

Xie Shence got up, patted the dust on his body, and said to the rider behind the three jumpers: "Quickly go and report to Uncle Zhang, let him be sure to annihilate all the remaining bandits." Those ...... This admiral wants to live, and not a single one to die. ”

At the end, Xie Shence added: "The bandit leader also wants to live." ”

The two horsemen led the way.

Taking advantage of Xie Shence's instructions to Ti Cai, the three jumpers had time to sneak a look at the battlefield.

However, it didn't matter, the three jumpers almost vomited their stomachs.

The corpses and severed limbs resting on the wooden platform were high and high. Bright red and miserable white came into view, a gust of wind blew, and the three jumpers could see that the hair on half of the head was gently blown, followed by a foul stench.

The head is separate from the limbs. In other words, a Jingguan plus a bunch of stumps.

The three jumpers squatted under the tree, trembling and vomiting for a long time, Xie Shence took a few sips of water from the water bag, and turned away from looking at him.

And when it was night, they set up camp on the spot.

It is said to be camping, but in fact, it is just sleeping in clothes.

Baggage or something, there is nothing else except food, not to mention tents and the like, which have long been burned out in the previous battle.

So the people enjoyed the mosquito night away. When I woke up in the morning, everyone, including Xie Shence, was covered with a face.

The next morning, Xie Shence ordered the pursuit of the four surnamed Gongzi, as well as Zheng Xunren and the bandit leader.

More than 400 Mo sword troops rushed towards the southeast. He was accompanied by dozens of horsemen.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xie Shence and the others caught up with the bandits who were in a hurry and could not be found and the people led by the four surnamed Gongzi who were basically intact.

The narrow mountain road was not suitable for large-scale battles, so under the front and rear attacks, the four surnamed sons and the bandits and rebels chose to break through from the front. That is, the direction of Uncle Zhang.

After the fierce battle, the bandits left hundreds of corpses, broke through the blockade of Zhang Shuye's 500 people, and then continued to run deep into the mountains in the southeast.

After several major wars, there were only about 3,000 people left in the ranks of six or seven thousand bandits and rebels. After fleeing in a hurry, on the 15th of July, they were finally surrounded in a small mountain villa southeast of Pingding and northeast of Xiyang.

The cottage has long been empty, and the desolation of more than a dozen dilapidated thatched huts and overgrown rice fields makes people look desolate at a glance.

This small village should be familiar to some bandits. Although many people don't remember it anymore.

They don't remember that during the famine, a pregnant woman saved one of their lonely leaders, and they thought the village had a surplus of food, and sent men to plunder it. The pregnant woman was wheeled by the crowd. Rape to death, one corpse and two lives, the man was cut off limbs and made into an adult, tied to the sun at the entrance of the village and died.

The dry bones they are now trampling under their feet are the sins of some people.

If one has to think of this village, it can only be because this village is located on the border of Binh Dinh and Xiyang counties, and the bandits of the two counties once had a fight over the ownership issue derived from the looting of this mountain village. The reason is that both gangs of bandits think that the village belongs to them, and the other party has stepped on the boundary.

In this small village today, the dry bones of the bandits are crushed under their feet. They huddled together, facing the encirclement of nearly a thousand imperial troops.

Encircle?

Yes, surrounding, you heard it right.

A thousand surrounded three thousand.

The bandits' original force of six or seven thousand men had already died or fled in the previous fierce battles. Now the remaining 3,000 people, half of them are people, and half of them are bandits, real bandits and real outlaws.

In front of these people were a thousand imperial troops—four hundred Mo swordsmen, one hundred heavy infantry, and five hundred cavalry. The Mo knife is the Mo knife that has been fought before, the infantry is the heavy infantry of the Northwest Army, and the cavalry is the elite light cavalry of the Northwest Army.

Of course, these people are not counting the hundreds of horsemen on the periphery.

The huge disparity in numbers could not be the key to turning the tide of victory, and all the bandits and rebels were full of despair in their hearts.

The strength they thought was elite turned out to be so vulnerable in front of the officials and troops of the Great Jin Dynasty. The soldiers who originally boasted that they could be three or two even if they couldn't be one with the Northwest Army were so vulnerable in front of the elite of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Thousands and hundreds of battles can't win, which is always unacceptable for the bandits and rebels who have been ignoring people's lives for a long time and bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil.

Especially a few days ago, the appearance of those divine thunders made people feel even more desperate.

God is punishing us.

These people do not respect the king in their hearts, and they have no dignity in their eyes, but in their hearts, they are extremely concerned about ghosts and gods. The loud noise that took place in the valley basin was, in their view, a punishment from heaven.

Otherwise, how could this kind of divine thunder appear when one's side was about to win? And then his own people were killed by the Mo Dao Army like chopping melons and vegetables?

Including the four surnamed Gongzi, Zheng Xunren and the bandit leader all think so in their hearts.

It can only be a thunderbolt from the sky.

How else to explain that people will suddenly become confused?

How do you explain the loud noise in your own ranks? And then more than 10,000 people were killed by hundreds of Mo knives, throwing away their armor?

Although there is no real armor on their side to throw away.

These "leaders" think so in their hearts, but no one says so. What they say is still the same thing. It's nothing more than "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning" and "heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs" and so on.

But they are still afraid in their hearts after all.

Since the chiefs are like this...... Based on this psychology, someone let out a desperate sob.

Naturally, these "disturbing bastards" were immediately killed by the Overseers armed with broadswords.

After dealing with a few of these people publicly, the team became reorganized.

That's right, it's regular.

Not composure.

This is what it is now, the silence that emanates from the face of the encirclement.

Since he was at the end of the road, knowing the root and tacitly, Uncle Zhang issued the first and last persuasion to surrender.

"You can't wait for the good people, but you are forced by the county family to take risks. Today, the soldiers are coming, the court is compassionate, and you are waiting for a chance to survive, as long as you kill the bandit leader and raise the head, the court will not blame the past, reward a hundred taels of gold, a thousand tilts of good land, and the official seal of six products! ”

In this case, the four surnamed Gongzi were forced to kill dozens of people to ensure their leadership of the team.

Now, these 300 people are surrounded by this small mountain village with strange terrain, unable to move.

The terrain is strange because it is indeed strange, otherwise 3,000 people would not be trapped in such a place - surrounded by mountains on two sides, cliffs on one side, and a way out.

In such a place, a thousand men and horses can indeed surround three thousand people to the death.

As for how these 3,000 people got in......

The officers and soldiers don't care! As long as they can't run away, it doesn't matter where they run or how they get in.

Aren't they all two-legged anyway?

So, when no one wanted to surrender, the officers and soldiers launched an attack on the interior of the village.

The heavy infantry with thick armor and large shields fought with the Modao army, easily captured hundreds of heads, and then led the team to break through.

This was followed by the ravages of light horsemen.

After countless people entered the mountains and were hunted by the cavalry and officers and soldiers, and after countless people jumped off the cliff to survive, the officers and soldiers exchanged 2,400 lives for a small price, forcing the enemy to surrender.

Yes, they surrendered.

When the bandit leader walked in front of the two armies with his sword against the neck of the four surnamed sons, Xie Shence, who had retreated to the rear, was about to laugh like crazy.

What is this?

Are you going to be captured alive and still play this set?

Could it be that Tiqi's IQ is so low? Doesn't the imperial court know anything about Taiyuan Mansion?

The thief actually used the thief as a hostage!

.......

To be honest, not only Xie Shence, but even Uncle Zhang was also stunned. I thought I was mistaken.

However, Zhang Shuye then caught a hint of acceptance from Xie Shence, who was hidden behind, so he performed a frightened look, and then had a "difficult" negotiation with the bandits, and finally the two sides negotiated - as long as a few key personnel were released, the bandits would not harm the lives of the four surnamed sons.

Then Uncle Zhang fulfilled his promise very well.

Ti Cai retracted, and several bandit leaders gave a signal after passing through the dense forest, and then the four surnamed Gongzi were released back into Zhang Shuye's team.

Uncle Zhang personally dismounted at night to greet the four surnamed sons.

Then, naturally, Uncle Zhang was assassinated.

However, naturally, the person who wanted to assassinate Zhang Shuye was ridden by Ti's crossbow. Bow down.

Immediately, the "leaders" who held the four sons hostage were also shot to death. The remaining five or six hundred people were also killed by the approaching Modao and cavalry.

On the night of the same day, Xie Shence met the four surnamed Gongzi, Zheng Xunren, and the three bandit leaders who were tied up.

......

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the four people, Xie Shence pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah! It's four sons! Why are you like this? How did you get tied up? Ay? This is not ...... And who? Zhen, oh no, Zheng Gongzi? Aren't you Zheng Shangshu's eldest son? Why are you here? Isn't it a bandit who broke through the Jin capital? ”

"Impossible! When I came out last month, weren't you still in Jindu? It is impossible for Jindu to be breached...... So why are you here? ”、

"Oh! There is a report from the Tiqi Division that in April and May, some thieves from Taihang Mountain went to Jindu to find someone to buy grain, and then got the news that someone was beaten and disappeared. Isn't it...... You're the one who was kidnapped? But Zheng Shangshu didn't say it! ”

Xie Shence looked wronged, guilty and entangled and regretted.

Looking at Xie Shence's self-care performance, Zheng Xunren and the others all blushed.
