366. Heroes are useless

There was a chaotic movement in the distance, interrupting Zhao Mengqi's thoughts.

Geng Zhi reminded, "Your Highness, the traitor's rout is coming. ”

Zhao Mengqi listened carefully, it was indeed the sound of a large number of people running, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing behind him.

He first asked Pu Shiwen and the others and the horses to be escorted to the rear of the formation, and then put on his armor, "Order, prepare to intercept!" ”

If these routed soldiers find that their way is cut off and they fall into a desperate situation, they may make a desperate bet and launch a desperate counterattack.

Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry.

But if these 'rabbits' are allowed to escape, whether they run back to Quanzhou or scatter around, it will be very troublesome.

Zhao Mengqi only had 1,000 people around him, responsible for blocking the road, and there were 500 people on each side of the front, setting up a pocket formation, the purpose of which was to wipe out the routs and reduce trouble.

For this reason, it is natural to be prepared for a fierce bloody battle.

At this time, the night was getting thicker, and when it was estimated that the distance of the rout was close to two hundred zhang from the sound, Zhao Mengqi shouted again, "Raise the fire!" ”

The drums and trumpets sounded in unison, the first torch lit, giving birth to a red light, and then a fire dragon quickly stretched out in both directions.

Then, the mountains and paddy fields on both sides also looked like two arms, each with a long fire dragon sticking out, which looked denser and longer than the middle.

Running at the forefront of the rout were White-eyed Jiao and his twenty or thirty henchmen.

This guy saw that the opportunity was not good, so he ran away decisively, except that because there was no horse, two legs could not run on four legs, and they had been far ahead on the road for more than ten miles.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Fengtou Mountain, he would soon be able to board the sea ship and escape.

There was a sudden drum sound in front of him, which almost didn't break the heart of the white-eyed Jiao, and the firelight that lit up immediately illuminated his white eyes red.

Nearly thirty people stopped in amazement, panting.

"Front... In front are the officers and troops!? ”

"Rely on the cup! Where did this come from? ”

"Big... Big... Big boss, where should we run? ”

"This is all blocked, where else can we run, big boss, the officials and soldiers don't give us a way to live, let's just fight with them!"

"Yes, fight! Even if you can't rush over, you have to bite a piece of meat from them, and eighteen years later, we are a good man again! ”

In desperation, a group of people shouted that they wanted to fight with the officials and soldiers.

"Shut up!" The white-eyed Jiao was noisy by his subordinates, and yelled angrily, "What do you fight, is it true to bite with your head and teeth?" ”

In order to run fast, they didn't expect that there would be interceptions in this direction, so they lost all their weapons and everything.

After roaring, the white-eyed Jiao hurriedly looked around, turning like a spinning top, trying to find a way out.

Ahead was a strict military formation, murderous.

On the right side is the mountains, and beyond the firelight is a deep dense forest, and I don't know how many ambushes are hidden.

On the left side, there are still four or five miles from the coast, and even if no one intercepts them, the paddy fields are muddy and difficult to navigate.

The other routs behind him naturally discovered this, but under the drive of the pursuers, they saw that they were getting closer and closer.

This is really no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

"Big boss, hurry up and get an idea!" His subordinates urged one after another.

The two small eyeballs of the white-eyed Jiao turned quickly, and then looked at his dog-headed military advisor, "Sir, is there a clever plan right now?" ”

This military advisor didn't want to die, so he immediately searched his intestines and stomach to find a way, and soon thought about it.

"Now we are obviously in the poor alley and have no way out, if we want to save our lives, we can only try to surrender, the officers and soldiers are more disciplined, and they will not kill prisoners easily, as for the opportunity to act again in the future."

Baiyan Jiao pondered for a moment, "Yes, we have also been caught by the government before, and then we are not happy and happy, as long as we don't die, there will always be a chance." ”

Then the military advisor continued, "But for the sake of insurance, we not only have to surrender, but it is best to make meritorious contributions!" ”

The subordinates were moved when they heard this, but they were very puzzled, and the white-eyed Jiao asked directly, "Meritorious?" What do you mean? ”

"As long as we persuade a little more people to surrender and save some trouble for the officers and soldiers, won't we have merit?" The military advisor explained.

"Makes sense! A military advisor is a military advisor, so let's talk about what to do. ”

The white-eyed Jiao slapped his thigh, and his expression became excited.

After waiting for the military advisor to give some orders, everyone turned around in unison, and then shouted in unison at the approaching rout.

"Brothers, don't run away, the Pu family and the Liujia family have already made peace with the government, and the officials and soldiers have said that as long as we are captured, they will not kill us!"

"Stop, stop, you can't run away, if you provoke the officers and soldiers, then there is really only one dead end!"

"The Pu officials and the officials have been lowered, what are we doing in vain, we are all little minions, it is important to save our lives!"

The traitor was tossed back and forth for more than two hours, and he was already tired enough, and he didn't bother to distinguish between these words that he didn't know if they were true or false, so he really stopped, and some people even sat on the ground with their butts.

In addition, some people were persuaded by the group of white-eyed Jiao to shout along.

As the virus spreads, more and more defeated soldiers join in the shouting, and finally converge into a shout with venting emotions.

"It's down! We're all down! ”

Looking at this scene, Zhao Mengqi's hands were embarrassed.

Shi Cheng stared at his hand, but he didn't see him wave it for a long time, "Your Highness, is this cannon still fighting?" ”

Zhao Mengqi turned his head to look at Shi Cheng, and then looked at the four mortar guns, six straight guns, and twenty rocket launchers that were ready for launch......

Then he took off his armor and shrugged, "Do you think this is necessary?" Let's have it. ”

Shi Cheng's eyes were full of disappointment, he finally had a chance to fight, but it seemed that he was going to hold on to one shot, which really wanted to suffocate people to death.

And this is loaded with ammunition, and if it doesn't shoot out, it will be too troublesome to clean up.

Shi Cheng felt very suffocated, and Zhao Mengqi was even more panicked.

finally had a chance to go into battle in person, but it was in the soup again......

Brother practices so hard every day, but God doesn't give face, and heroes are always useless.

At this time, a figure shook a piece of white cloth, shouting and slowly running towards this side of the formation, "Master Jun, don't do it, I'm here to ask for surrender......"

Geng Zhi led people forward, searched his back, and twisted them in front of Zhao Mengqi.

"General, we are good people, if it weren't for the coercion of the Pu family, we would never dare to make trouble, now we have come to our senses and decided to return to righteousness anyway, please accept it."

When Zhao Mengqi heard that this person was articulate, and he knew how to avoid the important and ignore the facts, he couldn't help but look at him carefully, "Reader? ”

Shining on his body by this seemingly penetrating eye, this person was confused, "Read... Read ...... for a few years"

"What's your name? Who? What for? ”

"Xiaomin Qi Tianliang, a native of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, is an account ......"

Zhao Mengqi's eyes froze, "Huh!?" ”

Qi Tianliang was taken by the gaze, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to lie and hide it anymore, "Xiaomin used to be the account office of a merchant ship, and then he was robbed by pirates, and then he became a military advisor of the pirates. ”

"Oh, so you're still very meritorious......"

Zhao Mengqi originally wanted to go into battle to have a good time, but now that he was destroyed, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and his tone seemed a little unkind.

Qi Tianliang probably misunderstood, thinking that Zhao Mengqi was talking back, so he hurriedly remedied, "Actually, in fact, the white-eyed Jiao is the loyal lackey of the Pu family, who specially picks the merchant ships of the Pu family's opponents at sea to plunder, and the white-eyed Jiao is not really surrendering, he plans to find a chance to escape back to the sea after escaping this catastrophe, his nest is on the island off the coast of Chaozhou, and there are many people left behind......"

This non-self-moving appearance amused Zhao Mengqi, "Except for the white-eyed Jiao, do you know anything about other pirates?" ”

"General Hui, there are dozens of large and small bandits in the South China Sea, and the small people know some of the situation...... If the general wants to suppress the bandits, the small people can be the guides. ”

Qi Tianliang knows how to embody the value and fight for himself a chance to survive, perhaps, he took the initiative to ask for his life to take the risk to be a 'please envoy' when he had this thought.

Zhao Mengqi must be going to clear out the pirates, so after thinking about it, he said, "Very good, the matter of suppressing the bandits can be talked about later, you go back now, tell those traitors, this king accepts their surrender, let them throw away all their weapons, get out of the way, lie on the ground, and wait for the officials and soldiers to come and deal with it." ”

This king?

Qi Tianliang's eyes widened in shock, "You... Are you His Royal Highness King Yan? ”

"What? Isn't it like? Zhao Mengqi raised his eyebrows.

"No, no, Xiaomin didn't expect that with the dignity of His Highness, he would actually come to the battle array in person......" Qi Tianliang reacted, and was immediately overjoyed, "Xiaomin will go, this will go." ”

Then things went well, and eight or nine thousand traitors were obediently lying on the ground, waiting for the officers and soldiers to go up and tie them up in strings.

Soon after, Chen Wei, Lu Changqing and others also came to Zhao Mengqi's place.

Chen Wei complained as soon as he came, "Your Highness, Your Highness, your surprise strategy is really a lie to your own people." ”

"Isn't this worried that the bachelor won't agree?" Zhao Mengqi sneered, and couldn't help but touch his nose, "Hey, I knew that the traitor was such a rookie, I didn't have to do all these bells and whistles, and I basically didn't do anything now, but it also shows that the bachelor's sword is not old, and he still won so beautiful with being outnumbered, which really makes me admire." ”

"Haha, this credit can't be counted on the head of the old minister, firstly, His Royal Highness arranged it properly, and secondly, it is also the heroic soldiers, and His Highness's strategy is still very necessary, after all, the enemy is lenient, if it is not for the traitor's improper tactics and too aggressive impulsiveness, the battle situation will definitely be in a stalemate, then only His Highness will break the situation, besides, if there is no interception by His Highness, most of these traitors will escape."

Obviously, Chen Wei still appreciates Zhao Mengqi's strategy.

Zhao Mengqi smiled, "This battle is over, let's not say more, the traitor's ships and the sailors have been captured, and then let's discuss the follow-up, I plan to wait until the battlefield is cleaned up, let's go straight to Quanzhou, what do you think?" ”
