After the navy of the Guardians cut off the enemy's retreat route and destroyed the stone-throwing machine at the top of the city, the warship moved forward and turned the artillery fire to the enemy brigade in front of the city. Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the enemy fled in all directions, but this place was already a Jedi and the city could not go back. There were big lakes on both sides, forcing them to break eastward. However, the Song army ahead was ready, and the artillery fired together, and thousands of crossbows fired at the same time, and they repelled them.

In this way, the Yuan army trapped in it thought that the rats in the bellows were irritated on both ends, but they rolled over like coal balls on a sieve, rolled over and fled back and forth. However, as the navy artillery fire continued to extend, the area where the Yuan army was active became narrower and narrower. Some Yuan army could not bear it and jumped into the North Lake to try to swim to the other shore to escape. The cold and bone-blooded lake water quickly lost its temperature, numb and stiff hands and feet, and did not have much effort, so they became floating corpses in the lake.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let ten thousand households pass!" Ezhou Daluhachi Timur Buhua wanted to lead his army out of the city to get a bargain, but he didn't expect to be blocked outside the city and had to rush left and right to avoid artillery fire. They were the cavalrymen running fast, but the infantry were in trouble. Not to mention the death and injury of the artillery fire, there were many people who were killed and injured under their horses. Seeing that they could not break through, they had to retreat again to find a way back to the city.

"Get out of the way..." Tens of thousands of people squeezed into a narrow area less than a few miles, and the war horses were naturally blocked. The cavalry that opened the way shouted loudly while pushing the Han army blocking the way, and from time to time they slashed with the back of the knife, many people were injured in their hands. But this time, a cold arrow flew from somewhere and shot two cavalry off the horse, and it was immediately in chaos.

"Rebel, the Han army has rebel!" The Red Army of the Discovery Ma was shot and killed, which immediately made the Mongolian army furious. They shouted loudly, slashing at the Han army beside them indiscriminately, as if they were all murderers.

On weekdays, the Han army has always been afraid of the Mongols' exploration of the Ma Chi army and dare not act rashly. Even if they are bullied, they can only swallow their anger. But everyone knows that the conflict between the two sides is deep. Now someone secretly uses killers, especially when the war is critical, and the Mongols' consistent distrust of the Han army broke out instantly, and they immediately cut and killed them, trying to suppress the Han army with this.

"All it's dead, I'm rebelling, I'm rebelling!" Unexpectedly, the Han army, which had always been obedient in the past, broke out at this moment. They turned their swords and guns to fight with the Red Army of the Detective Horse.

The Red Army had only more than 2,000 troops in the Mass Explorer, and some of them were lost in artillery fire. The Han army had at least 20,000 troops. The advantage of the cavalry was the impact force. At present, they were mixed with the infantry, and their advantages could not be played. However, the infantry could use their advantages in melee combat, stabbing people above and horses below. If you want to run, you can't run, you can't fight, but you can't beat them. The situation was extremely passive.

Seeing the Han army attacking him, Wang Ying was shocked and shouted repeatedly, but no one listened. He was afraid of angering his subordinates and causing fire to burn him. He was reluctant to lead his personal soldiers forward and suppress them. He retreated aside and was in a hurry to do nothing. However, Long Xing'er lost two consecutive battles, suffered heavy losses and became even more angry. As a Mongolian, he naturally had to protect his own interests and slashed a Han soldier to death, trying to shock the generals under his command. Unexpectedly, it aroused public outrage. The soldiers rushed forward and pulled him off his horse and killed him.

"Your Majesty has an edict that if the Song people do not attack the Song people, those who surrender will not be guilty!"

"Your Majesty has an order to fight against the king's army, and he will be killed without mercy!"

"Your Majesty has an order. Those who surrender will not blame the past. You can return to your hometown and give them land and money!" Just as the Yuan army was in a civil turmoil at the city of Ezhou, and the Mongolian and Han armies were having a lot of fun in their killing, the artillery bombardment stopped at some point, but a wave of surrender came from the opposite side. After hearing this, the Yuan army slowly stopped fighting. Looking at Dongfang Jing listened to the shouts of the Song army, many people were in tears and couldn't feel themselves.

"The Khan is waiting for you very much. That thief is just lying to wait. Once he surrenders, he will be equipped with a knife and an axe. Remember not to be fooled!" Wang Ying saw that even the guards looked at him incorrectly, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Haha, the general is right. If we tied the general to the Emperor Song, we would be able to avoid death. Maybe we could receive some rewards!" A guard beside him smiled and said, but when he approached, he suddenly pulled his sword and put it on Wang Ying's neck.

"You... are you not afraid of God's punishment if you betray the Lord and seek honor?" Wang Ying said with her neck.

"The general is scolding. Your ancestors first rebelled against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and then surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. It should have been punished by God!" The soldier pressed his sword down and turned his head to say to everyone, "We are all Song people. Now that the Song Dynasty has restored its country, we should re-enter the homeland. Now everyone has seen the power of artillery fire. If the Emperor Song had not had a good life, he would have destroyed us under the artillery fire without a soldier and a soldier coming forward!"

"Submit, surrender, everyone surrendered!" After hearing this, the army started to quarrel. They did not gain any benefit since surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty, but were suppressed everywhere. Every time they went to war, they were the pioneers. I don't know how many comrades died in Annan, Champa, and Japan, and their bodies were never returned. And the Emperor of Song made a promise to not blame the past and return home to divide the land, which was too attractive to them.

"The Khan will lead the army to kill you gangsters..." Wang Ying saw this and wanted to coerce the troops, but he felt a chill in his neck, and the sharp blade had cut his head off. The others rushed forward, chopped his confidants and the Mongols in the army to kill them, pulled a piece of white cloth to make a flag of surrender, carried his head with a spear, took off his helmet and went east to ask for surrender.

Seeing that Wang Ying was cut off by his subordinates and asked to surrender, the new subordinates in other armies also echoed each other and killed the main generals and defected to the Song army. On the battlefield, there were only about a thousand people who lived after the melee and the northerners who refused to surrender. They took advantage of the opportunity of the Song army to surrender and fled northward. There were some special residents outside Ezhou City. Most of them used fishing for aquatic products and boats as their residences, drifting on rivers and lakes all year round, forming a mobile house with "bowing ships on the shore", similar to the people of Qiongzhou.

Timur Buhua robbed their soldiers and fled from Beihu to the Yangtze River, but did not dare to enter the city again. He was worried that he was chased by the Song Shui Army. He drifted down the river for more than 30 miles before he dared to land on the north shore. Because they were not good at boating and tide, many ships capsized in the river on the way. On the way, there were only more than 300 people who fled. When they were defeated, Timur Buhua cried bitterly, but he had no choice...

When it was dark, a great war ended. The Yuan army wanted to break the blockade, but unexpectedly it was controlled by the Song army. All the main forces were annihilated. The Song army cleaned the battlefield overnight. In this battle, more than 10,000 enemies were killed, more than 20,000 were reduced, and more than 100 generals and officials below the 10,000 enemy commanders were killed. Only the main general was spared. The military weapons and armor were seized and a mountain of war horses were piled up. More than 3,000 were killed in the Song army, including more than 500 guards and more than 300 injured.

Zhao Bing ordered the camp two miles in front of Ezhou City to properly bury the dead soldiers and treat the injured in time. The surrendered enemy troops were given food and the injured were sent to the hospital. Personal property was not allowed to be retrieved, and their lives were not to be abused. They were guaranteed to be safe. They also registered their names and hometowns, informed them of those who were willing to stay, and those who passed the inspection were assigned to the army; they were willing to walk, issued roads, distributed funds, and after returning home, the local government distributed land according to the standards, and would never force them to stay.

After giving the order, Wen Tianxiang and others were busy. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Bing was unwilling to go back to the Dragon King Temple after a day of trouble. He ordered to rest on the Sheji City nearby, and then waited on the boat. He took a hot bath first, changed his clothes and simply used dinner. The brazier had already lit in the bedroom, which was very warm, and his nerves had been tense for a day relaxed. He wanted to think about how to attack the city tomorrow, but he was sleepy and fell asleep.

The next morning, before Zhao Bing got up, an eunuch reported to me to come on the boat to ask for a meeting. Although Qingmeng was spared early in the morning, he knew that he had come to see him early and had to have an urgent matter, so he hurriedly got up, wash, change clothes, and meet in the lounge. Before he could ask, Wen Tianxiang reported on the situation and asked for instructions on how to deal with it.

It turned out that in the battle yesterday, Daluhua Temur, who was guarding Ezhou, fled, and the other three thousand households were killed in battle. Ezhou was originally managed by King Tuohuan of Zhennan, but he had already led his troops and subordinates to Shangdu to attend the funeral. For a time, the leader of the city of Ezhou was Jiang Fu, the governor of Ezhou. Seeing that the army of the garrison was almost wiped out, only more than a thousand left behind were left to defend the city. After everyone discussed that such soldiers and generals were not satisfied with the city wall and could not defend it anyway, so they sent envoys to surrender overnight.

Wen Tianxiang talked with them for a long time. The condition they put forward was that they would not harm the people in the city and ensure the safety of the surrendered officials. The Mongolians, northerners and their families in the city would return to Jiangbei. As long as they agreed to these three conditions, they would open the city to surrender. He could make the decision to agree to the first two, but he dared not accept the third one. So as soon as it dawns, Wen Tianxiang hurriedly got on the boat and asked His Majesty to make an idea.

Zhao Bing thought for a while and said that the third thing was okay to answer them. He could not help but let them go back and save them to try to resettle them. He also knew that these remnants could not stop him, but they set up the torch and burned the food, property, and the government office in the city. This was enough. So he said that he could agree to let him go north, but he was not allowed to carry weapons away from the city, and he could only carry clothes and a small amount of property with him, otherwise these people would be able to empty the treasury.

Wen Tianxiang thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He got off the boat and went to discuss. The other party came to the envoy to report back to the city and then responded. The envoys from both sides made several exchanges, and finally reached an agreement at Chen Shi. Zhao Bing was not addicted to the limelight, so he authorized Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde, Xie Ao to win the army with the mighty victory, and the generals of the Huai'en army attended the surrender ceremony and handled the affairs in the city. The guards were all staying in the camp and serving as a warning.

"Official family, why don't you join in the fun with each other!" As soon as Su Lan entered the study, she saw the little emperor standing in front of the porthole, holding a telescope and looking down at the city, and asked with a smile.

"I have to go and accept surrender in person to recover such a small town. Wouldn't it be too polite to praise them? Even if the literary style is good, it will give them face. Moreover, the two armies of Weisheng and Huaien fought all the way to Ezhou and finally completed the task. Letting them participate in surrender is a good start and a good end!" Zhao Bing replied without looking back.

"The officials said that, but aren't you afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the guards? After all, they made the most efforts this time!" Su Lan said again.

"The guards have even recovered Lin'an City, how could they care about this Ezhou City!" Zhao Bing said disdainfully.

"Haha, the official family always has a right. Have a cup of hot tea!" Su Lan said with a tea.

"You said he was not afraid of the cold either. He was wearing white clothes and looked cold!" Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and looked at the scene of surrender. The leader looked really strange. He knelt down with a big seal on his knees and gave it to him.

"This is how the officials surrendered, to show that they are a criminal minister. It is very likely that the officials were surrendered to me, so that they would be like this." Su Lan also glanced curiously and said.

"If I do this, I might as well find a rope to hang it, and I will not be insulted like this!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said. Thinking about Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Deyou were afraid that this would be the same when they surrendered, they couldn't help feeling sad. But when they watched the soldiers of the two armies enter the city to control the city gate, climb up the city wall to take over defense, and raise the Song Dynasty imperial flag.

"Your Majesty, the person has arrived." Just as Zhao Bing was watching with relish, Cai Ruoshui came in and said with politeness.

"Okay, no one noticed it on the way, right?" Zhao Bing nodded.

"Report to your Majesty, we are from the ship on the palace, and no one sees it." Cai Ruoshui replied.

"Well, I'll go see him, just be with you alone!" Zhao Bing said, and told Wang De that no one should be disturbed when he saw a guest. The guard retreated three feet away to wait, and he was not allowed to enter without summoning.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please move!" Cai Ruoshui said with politeness. He was in charge of the three offices in the imperial front office, specializing in intelligence management, and acted as a contact person for various intelligence agencies. Last night, His Majesty suddenly asked him to contact the heads of the intelligence stations in the Fujian-Jiangxi and Fujian-Guangzhou bases of the Affairs Bureau. According to the rules, it is strictly prohibited to contact local intelligence stations without special circumstances, but it is transferred through the Affairs Bureau. Therefore, he felt that there must be an urgent matter.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing stood up and went to the small living room in the top cabin to meet the two. The reason why he broke the rules and summoned the two was forced. Now that the battle in Ezhou is over, Jiangling has lost the support of Ezhou, the war will soon end. Wen Tianxiang cannot stay for a long time, so the candidates for the chief officer and officials at all levels who stayed in the Jinghu War Zone must be determined, but he discovered a problem. Once a mistake is made, it may destroy the entire Yangtze River defense line and then lose the entire Jiangnan.

However, Zhao Bing was relatively relaxed in employing people in several bases. He thought that these people must be from a rash family, and they paid attention to loyalty and love to build small groups. This included traditional social problems and also a means for them to survive and protect themselves. Later, he also used sand-stuffed methods to divide and disintegrate their small groups by constantly sending military and political cadres, and gradually gained military command and voice.

Thinking that these dispatched cadres were alone, they were all necessary to take some "extraordinary" measures to gain a foothold, so Zhao Bing did not investigate their small mistakes. But yesterday he found out that he was wrong. It was precisely because of his "indulgence" that some generals had already accumulated small mistakes as big mistakes. If they continued to use them, there might be problems. So he wanted to learn more about the situation and see how deep they were in...
