Thank you for the reward and praise of the seven-color pineapple bun, Lao Hai bowed and thanked!

Originally, in Cao Shaozhong's mind, the defenders of Pingdu City had no advantages except for the endless firearms that could pose a threat to their own side. The two armies are facing each other, and their own army will definitely destroy and annihilate the other side.

But just now, a face-to-face impact from the Enemy Hunting Division completely extinguished Cao Shaozhong's idea of underestimating the enemy, and his initial idea of annihilating the other party through a battle in one fell swoop now seems even more delusional.

Now the opponent's cavalry rushed to the official road, completely blocking the way for himself and his cavalry to return north, and the soldiers on both sides of the opponent's ambush on both sides of the official road have quickly prepared gunpowder bags, and it is bound to be difficult to repel the Pingdu City army blocking the official road.

Compared with the unstoppable cavalry of the other party, the current state of his cavalry, Cao Shaozhong's heart is very clear. The combat power of the opponent's cavalry is not inferior, what is even more terrifying is that they have the gunpowder bag in their hands, the big killing weapon, their own cavalry is now in a panic, now the sky is getting dark, if you give a hard order to impact, as long as the opponent's gunpowder bag is thrown, you don't need to fight the cavalry under the command will retreat first!

Cao Shaozhong gasped, now facing the situation of entering the Tuwei Valley, he was panicked for a while, thinking about how to solve the current crisis, thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one way to surrender!

Several of the leading officers of the rebel cavalry approached Cao Shaozhong one after another, anxiously asking what to do next.

Cao Shao was in turmoil in the center, and he couldn't help but scold these cavalry officers, if it was in peacetime. These officers could only obediently accept the reprimand, and did not dare to say anything at all.

But now the situation is special, and these more than 800 cavalry have been defeated and retreated. The grain of rice has not been advanced for nearly a day, and now the retreat route is blocked again. Among them, both the generals and the soldiers were on the verge of collapse.

One of the short-tempered officers directly confronted Cao Shaozhong, and several other cavalry generals also showed anger.

Cao Shaozhong instantly calmed down, now it is different from the past, now the cavalry under his command is like a gunpowder bag in the hands of the enemy hunting division, the slightest mistake will blow himself to pieces, he must stabilize his subordinates, and find a way to get out!

He knew very well what these officers were thinking, and they wanted to surrender to each other. These cavalrymen are not Kong Youde's private soldiers, and they don't have much favor in peacetime. Saving one's life at a critical moment is the most important thing.

In fact, Cao Shaozhong also had plans to surrender, but he didn't know whether he would lead the crowd to surrender, and whether the other party would take him to the knife, and he didn't dare to make a rash decision without getting the other party's guarantee.

Cao Shaozhong put on a smiling face, and was about to say a few soft words to these subordinates, explaining his plans and plans, but he found that several of his subordinates turned their eyes to the opposite side.

Cao Shaozhong was full of excitement, and immediately turned his head to look at the opposite side. I saw a few horses riding out of the cavalry array of the Hunting Enemy Division, and the one in the middle seemed to be the leader of the opposite cavalry.

Shen Xiaoshan looked at the rebel cavalry on the opposite side and said loudly: "Brothers in the cavalry opposite, I am Shen Xiaoshan, a general under the command of Lord Feng Zhen, the general of Pingdu City, and now I have something important. Ask your commander to come out and speak. ”

Cao Shaozhong looked at the young general opposite and wondered in his heart, seeing that the other party's posture did not look like he was going to attack, and he had something important to come forward for. This means that the other party does not want to use swords.

Cao Shaozhong rolled his eyes and instantly turned all kinds of thoughts, and turned his eyes to several subordinates looking at him expectantly. Obviously, they also felt some kindness from each other's words, and hoped that they would come forward to contact each other quickly.

Cao Shaozhong said to several cavalry generals: "Everyone, don't be impatient. Ben will come forward to listen to the plan of the opposition first, and the few of you will control your cavalry for the time being, and don't make any trouble. ”

After finishing the order, Cao Shaozhong led his henchmen to ride out of the cavalry queue on horseback, and stopped his pace more than eighty steps away from Shen Xiaoshan.

Cao Shaozhong bowed his hand slightly to Shen Xiaoshan and said: "This general is Cao Shaozhong, the cavalry commander under Marshal Kong of Dengzhou, dare to ask General Shen what is important?" ”

It is clear that the rebels are now at a loss, and this rebel Cao Shaozhong is trying to find a step down.

Shen Xiaoshan didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "General Cao should understand that the soldiers and horses under your command are facing a crisis of not being able to advance or retreat, and my general's general issued a military order in advance. As long as you lay down your arms and surrender to my general, my general will promise that he will not be guilty of the past, and he will continue to grant the leading generals the right to continue to lead the troops. ”

Shen Xiaoshan went straight to the point when he came up, throwing out the benefits given by the surrender of the rebels, which was very much in line with the appetite of this group of Qiu Ba, and those who were soldiers liked to go straight.

The two sides did not have a deep hatred, and the rebellion was forced at the beginning, and now the other party promised not to blame the past, and the other party deliberately announced the surrender conditions loudly in public, just to win the hearts of the cavalry under his command.

Cao Shaozhong didn't need to look to know that his cavalry would definitely accept the other party's arrangement to surrender to the other party, and as long as there was a slight prevarication on his side, it would never end well.

And the other party's words revealed that he led the people to surrender to the generals of Pingdu City instead of surrendering to the imperial court, and the other party said that Cao Shaozhong was relieved, which means that after surrendering, these people will become the private soldiers of the generals, and it is impossible for the other party to ask the court for credit with their own private soldiers!

With his mind racing, Cao Shaozhong bowed slightly on his horse and said loudly: "We were also forced by generals such as Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng to join the rebels, and I don't want to follow the rebels to continue to be evil. ”

Cao Shaozhong repeatedly mentioned that he surrendered to General Feng, not to the imperial court, which was exactly what Shen Xiaoshan and others were looking forward to.

After Cao Shaozhong finished speaking, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted among the eight hundred cavalry behind him, and the rebel cavalry who had fallen into a desperate situation finally relaxed their tense nerves.

Shen Xiaoshan also breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Shaozhong repeatedly mentioned that he surrendered to General Feng, not to the imperial court, which was exactly the result that Shen Xiaoshan and others were expecting.

Shen Xiaoshan praised loudly: "General Cao is really a person who knows the times. On behalf of my generals, I accept the surrender of you and your cavalry, and from now on all of you will belong to my generals. Please return to the team as soon as possible, and all the soldiers dismount and put down their blades. Wait for the arrival of the follow-up soldiers and horses of my Zhenshan battalion, and then make other arrangements. ”

Cao Shao was still a little uneasy in the center, and he arched his hand to Shen Xiaoshan helplessly: "I hope that General Shen will be true to his word, and I will wait for eight hundred soldiers to surrender, just to save my life, and I dare not hope for anything else." ”

Shen Xiaoshan knew that Cao Shao and others still had concerns, so he decided to give them a reassurance, and said with a pale face: "General Cao, please rest assured, I reiterate once again that you and my enemies can only detain me at the border repeatedly. Burn and kill the Jurchen Jiannu who plundered and plundered my people, you have fought with Liaodong Jiannu many times before, it is an elite and elite division, my family counselor is borrowing from you, I guarantee that all of you will submit to my family counselor general, you can still gallop on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, General Cao, the conditions agreed to by my family will never change, now you can rest assured! ”

Cao Shaozhong was slightly stunned. These people have also done things such as burning, killing, plundering and harming the people, but the other party never mentioned it, and obviously did not intend to pursue the matter.

Shen Xiaoshan is right, a cavalry cannot be trained overnight. Naturally, he and his cavalry will not take refuge in the other party, and they will inevitably make good use of it, and their worries are too redundant!

Cao Shao's head was slightly steady. Gritted his teeth and said, "The last general will go back and make arrangements, please rest assured General Shen." After saying that, he arched his hand again. Ride your horse back to your queue.

At this moment, at the foot of Xiaohuakou Mountain, a scene of surrender is also being carried out, in the evening. Feng Jian led the soldiers of the 3,000 Zhenshan Battalion in Pingdu City to Xiaohuakou, and the 4,000 rebel infantry soldiers who attacked Xiaohuakou were attacked from both sides, and these rebels were already demoralized.

At this time, Yang Eighty led the Zhenshan Battalion soldiers guarding the pass to kill head-on, most of the desperate rebels surrendered on their knees, and the entire Xiaohuakou Mountain foot to the halfway point of the mountain was full of surrendered rebels.

Feng Jian looked at the rebel soldiers all over the mountains, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a slight smile, now Pingdu City is imprisoned with a thousand rebel cavalry, a thousand rebel foot soldiers, plus seeing these four thousand surrendered rebel soldiers, there are already more than five thousand rebel soldiers in his hands, most of these people are strong people, and then the Zhenshan Battalion expands the army, these people are the best source of soldiers!

Zhao Shougang, Fan Li, and Jiao Keli have been following Feng Jian's side, and their hearts are also full of joy at this time, originally thinking that Kong Youde led the rebels to invade the territory, and the Zhenshan Battalion would inevitably undergo repeated tests, who would have thought that in just two days, the Zhenshan Battalion would force Kong Youde's rebels to evacuate in a hurry.

The ability to repel Kong Youde's rebels relied on the commander's advance arrangements and planning, especially the construction of various defense facilities in Xiaohuakou a year in advance, and the placement of two Hongyi cannons in Xiaohuakou, completely blocking the escape of Kong Youde's rebels.

Of course, for Feng Jian's various miracles, Zhao Shougang, Fan Li and other main generals of the Zhenshan Battalion have long been accustomed to it, Zhao Shougang, Cheng Yousheng and others still imitate Feng Jian everywhere, for example, Cheng Yousheng will learn to handle official business with a smile on the corner of Feng Jian's mouth when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't like to stick to the rules when he does things, even if he takes a certain risk to achieve his goal.

Zhao Shougang smiled and said to Feng Jian: "This Kong Youde is like a hard-working little bee, constantly sending his subordinates' equipment and soldiers and horses to our Zhenshan Battalion!" According to the estimates of his subordinates, it would not be a problem to select 3,000 qualified soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion from among these rebel soldiers. ”

Fan Li has always been thinking about the captured chariots, the power of this chariot is obvious to all, whether it is attack or defense, it will definitely be a great killer weapon in the enemy's battle, he hopes that the commander can allocate these chariots to their teaching group.

Therefore, he lost no time in saying to Feng Jian: "Now Kong Youde not only failed in his calculations, but also lost chariots, artillery, and so many war horses and soldiers, this is what the commander said about losing his wife, haha!" ”

Feng Jian smiled slightly, and was already thinking about how to adjust and expand the Zhenshan Battalion after this battle, and how to ensure the implementation of various support measures such as operation, training, and logistics of the Zhenshan Battalion. (To be continued......)
