Wang Er relied on the superiority of the horse to run at the forefront of the team.
Because Man Gui led the cavalry to drive on both sides, the bandits could only run wildly along the road.
After the bandits passed Pengzhen, they found that there was only one road to the north, so they rushed forward. Said it is a great road, in fact, it can only accommodate five or six bandits in parallel.
When they escaped from the same state, they were close to 40,000. After a day of rushing, thousands of people left behind and became prisoners of Siwuying. Now there are more than 30,000 who have arrived in Pengzhen.
More than 30,000 people were squeezed on this road. Bandits with almost physical strength, weakness, and short stature became victims of this road. Bandits were squeezed in by the crowd, trampled by the crowd, and ignored by the crowd. .
Wang Er could no longer take care of the bandits behind him, and Zu Dashou hurriedly pursued it, making him shocked. Under the protection of his own soldiers, Wang Er desperately beat his horses, preparing to leave the bandits behind. Now that the bandits have stepped on each other, if they are caught up by the crowd, who cares about him as the leader of the bandit when their lives are at stake
The sky was completely dark, and only the shadow of the blurred road could be seen. In order to avoid being pursued by the Siwuying, Wang Er and the others did not dare to light the torch.
Wang Er lowered his head, leaning on the horse and running wildly, his soldiers followed closely behind him, and they had already separated from most of the bandits.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", the fire burst out, the horses croaked wildly, and Wang Er fell from his horse with a muffled sound.
The horse was blown into blood by a landmine buried in the ground, the horse's legs broke, and even the bones of the horse were exposed, and then a lot of blood spurted. The horse was in pain and hit the ground with one head, knocking Wang Er on his body to the ground.
Fortunately, Wang Er was not injured. He didn't understand what he had encountered, but the loud explosion made him lose his soul.
After a brief fire, the sky returned to darkness, and Wang Er's eyes could no longer see any objects, including the road under his feet. After he got up, regardless of the soldiers around him, he randomly chose a direction and fled forward.
There was another loud bang, and Wang Er's body was exploded in two. In the flames, Wang Er's upper and lower body turned a few somersaults in the air, and then rolled in different directions.
With the brief flames of the mine exploding, the bandits running ahead, especially Wang Er's entourage, saw Wang Er's two-half body split. But they didn't have time to grieve, and the shouts of chasing soldiers were getting closer and closer. They had to use the cover of darkness to continue to flee in all directions.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Wang Er’s soldiers triggered the landmine. The man turned his back on his horse. The limbs of the man and the stump of the horse were dancing wildly in the air. The blood and horse blood were mixed together, and it was indistinguishable. After the explosion, the silent gap can reach ten miles away...
Zu Dashou speeded up the pursuit, and the Cavalry of Mangui shouted from the valleys on both sides, and the bandits had only one way forward.
Mines are constantly being triggered. In the faint light of fire, human arms and thighs are flying in the air, and blood is poured on this barren land like a rainstorm. Some bandits were even hit by their companions' arms, heads, and thighs and collapsed to the ground.
Behind, there are chasing soldiers, brandishing all kinds of Ming army standard weapons, harvesting lone bandits; ahead is a bloody road with no end in sight, less than 50 meters away, hundreds of bandits have fallen. .
No one knows what is happening on the ground, why their arms, thighs or heads will dance in the air like butterflies.
The unknown is a tough steel knife, ruthlessly strangling the hope of the loser.
If the bandits encountered this kind of desperation when they first left the city, they could still turn around and fight again. At the moment when all the people are united, united in one mind, at the moment of life and death, maybe they can still make a way out. But now, they have been so scared by these huge explosions that it's not that they don't want to fight, but that they don't have the courage to fight at all.
Fatigue is a short sword for life, cruelly curtailing the physical strength of the loser.
Chased by the cavalry for a day, there was no food, no water to drink, no time to pee, no time to shit, they were completely supported by the will to escape. Now that their will is weakened, they have difficulty even standing. If there is a seven or eight-year-old child on the battlefield, one can push it down, it is estimated that seven or eight bandits can be pushed. It's not that they don't want to fight, but that they don't have the strength to fight at all.
"We surrender."
"We surrender."
I don't know whose shouts shook the dominoes on the battlefield, and surrender is the only hopeful way to survive.
Since everyone else has surrendered, what are you still fighting for? More and more bandits dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
As long as the weapon is thrown away, as long as you kneel on the ground, you will not be chased by the Siwuying, and will not be bombarded by landmines.
On the official road to the northwest of Pengzhen, in front of the 200-meter minefield, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers from the military camp, the black and oppressive bandits were kneeling. They looked at the night sky helplessly, in a trance, and despair.
So far, none of the grenade is useful, and the 200-meter minefield has only used 50 meters, and all the bandits have surrendered. Liu Yushuan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Until now, Wang Er's bandits have been wiped out, and he has not done anything yet. After finally waiting for a band of bandits, no one shot or a single shot was used, the bandits surrendered.
He really wanted to grab the collars of these bandits, pull them up one by one, and continue fighting, so that his subordinates can also be tempered on the battlefield and make a military merit.
"These tofu." Liu Yushuan grumbled. Zhou Yu who was with Liu Yushuan didn't have that much resentment. He was already satisfied with the bandits who could wipe out Wang Er.
The first time the mine appeared on the battlefield, the result was a complete victory. Zhu Youjian was very satisfied. While talking with the generals, he commanded the soldiers to bring the surrendered bandits to Luochuan.
"His Royal Highness, these prisoners are useless if we want them, waste food, and divide our troops to guard." Yuan Chonghuan looked down on these bandits from his heart. These tofu are not even qualified as prisoners.
"General Yuan, what do you do? Let it go?" Zhu Youzhen remained calm.
"Most of them were killed, and the rest were exiled to Lingnan--this was how it was done before." Yuan Chonghuan faintly felt wrong, and Zhu Youzhen often did things out of common sense.
"Then General Yuan, let me ask you, what is the mission of the soldiers?" As the generals were all there, Zhu Youjian was about to give them a political lesson together.
"Keep the frontier for Daming." Who doesn't know? It's written in the military academy! And there is also in the military song of Siwuying.
"What is Daming made of?" Zhu Youzhen was not worried.
"..." Yuan Chonghuan couldn't answer this.
"General Yuan, there are no people. What is the use of asking for a lot of territories? Do you want the emperor and general you to go farming?" Zhu Youjian's gaze swept across the faces of everyone in turn, reminding them not to make small movements and pay attention. Listen to the lecture: "They are all citizens of Daming. The last time they fought to fight against Japanese pirates in Shandong, was it not for the people of Shandong to live and work in peace and contentment? Without the people's farming and taxes, what shall we eat?"
"But they are bandits." Yuan Chonghuan is still a bit dissatisfied. If they really produce food for Daming, they will not become Siwuying's opponents on the battlefield.
"They are indeed bandits. But they are different from the rebellion of fighting for power and the invasion of Daming by foreigners. They just want to eat their stomachs and survive. If there is a way to survive, they are willing to risk their heads, ransack their homes, and destroy the clan. Is it risky to rebel?"
Zhu Youjian hated these bandits. In the history of later generations, they were the ones who destroyed Daming, but from the bottom of my heart, they still sympathized with them. They were indeed driven on the road of rebellion. With the cowardice of the people of Daming, as long as there is a ray of life, Even if they can only eat half a full day, they will not rebel.
Zhu Youjian would like to instill these ideas into the generals of the Siwu Camp, "I am planning to establish a military academy not only to train the Ming army into the strongest army in the world, but also to build an army that loves the country and the people. An army that is loyal to your majesty, loyal to Daming, and protects the interests of any of the people of Daming. If the army is unable to protect the lives and property threats to the people, or even kills the people and kills them, will the people nurture us? Will the court rest assured us? Will your majesty still reuse us?"
Zhu Youzhen has both sentiment, kindness and power, and both reason and reason. The officers of the Siwuying Camp all bowed their heads. They only thought about fighting, and they had not considered these issues. Now that Zhu Youjian talked about it, they felt that the soldiers should be the protectors of the people. But for the handling of these bandits and prisoners, they did not have a clear idea. This was the matter of the court officials.
"No matter when you are loyal to Daming, loyal to your majesty, and protecting the people, it is the duty of the soldier and the reason why the soldier exists."
Political lessons are necessary, but now the Siwuying camp is completely annihilating Wanger’s bandit soldiers. There is no banditry in southern Shaanxi. In particular, the recruits from the Siwuying camp have achieved a complete victory as soon as they entered the battlefield. They have endured blood and blood. The test of fire is very important for cultivating their confidence on the battlefield.
Zhu Youjian did not get entangled in political issues, "You generals, you all contributed to the eradication of Wang Er's bandits. Today, I have a meal and let the soldiers eat and rest. The people of northern Shaanxi are still waiting for our rescue. ."
"Oh, there is meat to eat!" Hearing about the extra meal, the eyes of these generals burst into flames. During this period of time they are marching and fighting, and they are basically spent on the road. They usually eat some dry food with cold water. They have long been as hungry as wolves.
"However, the war is not over. Drinking is not allowed." Zhu Youjian confessed again. It was the generals who made trouble. He said to the investigator Liu Lin next to him: "Feige Chuanshu Jingshi, King of Southeast Shaanxi The second has been completely wiped out, and the court immediately dispatched local officials to resettle the people. I will march northward and continue to wipe out the bandit forces in northern Shaanxi."
Zhu Youjian didn't know that when his military newspaper arrived at the capital, the court's cabinet was being reorganized.
