Chapter 377: No Prisoners
Seeing Fang Xu chase people out, Chen Kan also stepped on the war horse and slowly followed behind the large army.
This time the plan against the remnants of the Tartar army can be regarded as Fang Xu's debut, no matter whether the result is good or bad, Chen Kan should go to help him support a field.
This time, almost all members of the Ming army were dispatched.
But if Battle is willing to look back at the size of the Ming monarch, he will find that the Ming army of 2,000 people is more than half less.
As for where the missing Ming army went, it may only be clear to Fang Xu, the initiator, and the others, even Chen Kan, don't know too much.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The sound of gunfire was especially piercing in the night sky, and every time a shot fell, a few or dozens of Tartars who were running wildly fell off their horses.
And the war horse, which had lost the control of the knight, immediately scattered and fled in all directions.
After chasing for nearly thirty miles, the remnants of the Tartars finally gradually distanced themselves from the Ming army.
This is not surprising, after all, the Tartars are the fleeing side, and they only need to cover their heads and beat the horses and gallop wildly, while the Ming army behind as the chasing side is different.
Not only do you have to aim, you have to reload your bullets, but you also have to avoid the horses that are scurrying around.
It's just that at this time, the remnants of the Tartar army, which originally had more than 1,000 people, only five or six hundred people left.
Battle, who was running away from the horse, looked gloomy, he never thought that he would once again fall into the trap of the Ming army.
This is very unreasonable, it stands to reason that the Ming army has come from afar, and has been forced to flee all over the grassland by their own army, and it should be very tired at this moment.
It was for this reason that he used the strategy of exhausting the enemy against the Ming army.
Disrupted the sleep of the Ming army three times in a row, they couldn't eat and sleep well, how could they still have the energy to set traps and even chase them out so far?
This Ming army is so unusual and strange.
At this moment, he finally regretted a little that he didn't listen to Abu Zhiyi's advice and pursued this Ming army alone with such a few people for so long.
Fortunately, the riding skills under his command are not comparable to the Ming army who can only farm after all, and after running for so long, he should have left the Ming army behind, right?
Thinking of this, Battle subconsciously looked back.
Sure enough, there was no trace of the Ming army.
"Whew~"
Taking a long breath, Battle's mood finally relaxed a little, and finally shook off the difficult two-legged sheep.
It was only when he saw that the soldiers under his command had suffered heavy losses, and that only one-sixth of the three thousand people were now left, and that Battle's good mood was instantly dispelled, replaced by a pain like a pinprick in the face.
Seeing that Battle slowed down his horse, a knight stepped forward and asked, "General, what should we do next, shall we still harass that Ming army?" ”
Hearing this, Battle frowned, he wanted to continue to harass, but now there are so many people left under his command, and it is not just asking for trouble to continue to harass the Ming army.
After thinking about it, he said: "There is no need to harass the Ming army for the time being, our soldiers will divide into two ways, continue to follow the Ming army all the way, don't let them lose their traces on the grassland, and the other will go with the general to move the rescue troops!" ”
Yes, to bring the rescuers, Battle finally put down his pride and prepared to bow to the hateful Ab.
Otherwise, relying on the little manpower in his hands alone, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to find the Ming army to get back to the field.
"I don't think there's a need for this, you might as well sleep here!"
At the moment when Battle's words fell, a loud shout suddenly came from behind a hill in front of Battle, and although it was shouted in Mongolian, the Chinese accent in it could not be concealed.
The next moment, a cavalry suddenly appeared behind the hills, numbering about two or three hundred people, led by Cen Gu, who had disappeared all night.
Battle was instantly shocked, and his eyes were split: "How come, how can there be a Ming army here?" ”
"Run south!"
Battle's decision was made almost instantaneously, and he turned his horse's head and planned to run south.
Cen Gu didn't chase after him, but just watched with interest as Battle ran towards the south.
Battle had only run a few hundred meters before he stopped.
He looked at a Ming army in front of him with a swarthy gun barrel with a look of disbelief on his face.
At some point, the south side was also stumped by a Ming army of two or three hundred people, and the general led by it was the enemy of Qianhu.
Battle turned his horse's head again, but he found in despair that the north was also blocked by a Ming army, led by another Qianhu Qian Xinghu in the Ming army.
Now, there was only one road left in the east, but soon the road in the east was also surrounded by Fang Xu and his people.
Battle was desperate, it was obvious that the Ming army had laid a net, and it was waiting for him to crash headlong into the encirclement.
The other Tartar soldiers also looked like mourners, and this time, they were completely dead.
Seeing the look of despair on Battle's face, Fang Xu panted and asked, "Run, why don't you run?" ”
Battle's face quickly turned white, and then turned from white to blue in an instant.
After a moment, his face showed a look of dejection, and he shouted in a stiff Chinese dialect: "We surrender." ”
"Surrender?"
The cavalry that followed Battle exclaimed incredulously.
"Yes, surrender, we have killed enough people, it is all the fault of the general, and it has nothing to do with you."
Battle's face was filled with despair, he never imagined that one day he would end up in such a situation.
"General, let's fight with them!"
There was an angry retort from the Tartar soldiers, who seemed to be simply unable to accept the fact of surrender.
"Shut up!"
Battle reprimanded him, then looked at Fang Xu, the leader of the Ming army, and asked with a look of humiliation: "The general is willing to surrender, and I ask the general to spare the lives of the general's brothers." ”
Fang Xu looked at Battle playfully, and said with a smile: "Who are you, what is your status in the Tartars, you will not be a garbage collector, and you will accept anyone's surrender." ”
Battle said with a humiliated face: "The current Great Khan of Mongolia is the uncle of the General, and the father of the General is the leader of the Altan tribe. ”
Hearing Battle report a series of titles, Fang Xu pretended to think: "This identity is enough to be qualified to be a prisoner. ”
Hearing Fang Xu's words, Battle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then shouted at Fang Xu: "Let them go, I will go with you." ”
Fang Xu smiled and said, "Kill them, you have to follow us obediently." ”
Hearing Fang Xu's words, Battle instantly became angry: "Han dogs, they really like to go back on their word, if they don't let them go, Ben would rather kill himself on the spot." ”
As he spoke, the scimitar in his hand rested on his neck.
He was sure that with his identity, the Ming army would never let him commit suicide, otherwise he would not have deliberately surrounded him.
"General, no."
"No, general, it's a big deal that we're going to fight with this group of two-legged sheep."
Seeing that Battle's scimitar had pulled a bloody streak on his neck, his Tartar soldiers were in a hurry.
Fang Xu looked at Battle coldly, and said lightly: "I think the general misunderstood something, the general said that you are qualified to be a prisoner, but he didn't say that he was going to take prisoners, so the general should not move himself." ”
Battle was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously, "What do you mean?" ”
Fang Xu said: "It's not interesting, if the general wants to kill himself, please do it yourself." ”
Fang Xu raised his hand and made a gesture of please, and saw that Battle's expression suddenly changed from tragic to sad and angry, and a sense of anger that had been played instantly rose from his heart.
"Too much deception!"
Battle was furious, he was the nephew of the Mongol Great Khan, the son of the large steppe tribe Altan Khan, and was actually tricked by a small two-legged sheep.
It's unbearable, it's unbearable.
Looking at the furious Battle, Fang Xu's heart did not fluctuate.
If he hadn't made a plan to attack Mount Kent, he would have chosen to capture Battle alive.
With Battle's identity, if he can be abducted back to Daming, not to mention anything else, the position of a Zhonglang general can be exchanged for anything.
But now, the nephew of a Great Khan is not comparable to a serious Great Khan himself.
So Fang Xu didn't think about surrendering Battle at all.
Although the siege was laid out, it was just to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
After all, it's better not to let the other Tartars know about such a thing as a raid on Kent Mountain.
Just when Battle was ashamed and angry, Chen Kan also chased after him.
It's just that Chen Kan's current position is very subtle, it seems to be side by side with Fang Xu, but in fact, he is slightly behind Fang Xu by half a body.
"Master Hou!"
Fang Xu no longer looked at the dying and struggling Battle, but respectfully saluted Chen Kan.
Chen Kan raised his hand: "Ben Hou is just to come and see, you can just implement your plan, don't take care of Ben Hou." ”
Feeling the unreserved trust in Chen Kan's words, Fang Xu immediately glanced at him gratefully.
Then he turned his head and gave Cen Gu, Qian Xinghu, and Qiu Han a gesture in three directions.
The three of them understood, and the soldiers of the Ming army under their command unanimously raised their firearms.
Noticing the movements of the Ming army, Battle couldn't help but be ashamed.
He looked at a group of soldiers who regarded death as home, and his face suddenly showed a desolate sadness.
"Sons, in that case, let's die with Ben!"
"I am willing to die with the general."
The rest of the Tartar soldiers showed madness on their faces and looked at the Ming soldiers who surrounded them, with only hatred in their eyes.
Fang Xu was stimulated by Tartar's eyes, and his raised hand suddenly waved down.
The besieged Battle had a crazy look on his face, and after shouting, he rushed towards Fang Xu like a swift cheetah.
"Bang~"
A gunshot rang out, and Battle fell.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
There was a burst of gunfire, and the remaining Tartar soldiers had not even had time to prepare their charging positions before they fell under the fire.
Five or six hundred people were densely packed together, which was a live target for the Ming army, so soon, there were more corpses in the Ming army's encirclement.
