Both Yang Feng and the officers around him could clearly see that almost all of the corpses lying on the ground were wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and they did not have any weapons or protective armor in their hands. This undoubtedly told them that the people they killed last night were some unarmed civilians.

Just as Yang Feng was blushing and silent, Song Ye walked to him and whispered, "Dude, don't accept reports at night. The bandits in Anqing Mansion have all fled last night. Now there are no traces of bandits in Anqing City."

Yang Feng laughed furiously: "Okay... OK, it seems that we all underestimated Tian Jianxiu. He even used the golden cicada to escape. We only had tens of thousands of troops, but were actually fooled by thousands of bandits."

Gou Xingma, Yan Di and other generals and officers remained silent, and each of them looked ashamed on their faces.

They originally thought that they would command the army to siege the city early tomorrow morning, and then launch a general attack, but they did not expect to use the darkness to drive the people to attack the camp. They mistakenly thought that the bandits were going to fight back to death, but they did not expect that the main force of the bandits slipped away while the Jiangning army was busy.

This result was like a slap in the face and hit the generals hard.

"Dude!"

Yan Di stood up and shouted: "The general is willing to lead his troops to chase the bandits immediately, and must annihilate all these bold bandits."

"Dude, I am willing to go!"

"I will also like to go!"

A famous general stood up and asked for a fight.

Looking at the excited generals and Yang Feng who was still calm and silent, Gou Xingma, who was standing beside him, shook his head helplessly. Can't these people still see this? What made the Duke angry the most was not that these bandits were brave enough to attack the Jiangning Army camp at night, but the people of Anqing Prefecture who were driven to die in vain.

Yang Feng looked at a general who asked for a fight and finally suppressed his anger. He said with a gloomy face: "Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been common in military affairs. Last night, the bandits took the opportunity to counterattack. This was certainly because of my miscalculation, but we did not suffer any losses, so I was not very angry. I still have this little bit of ambition.

But what I felt most unacceptable was that in order to escape, these bandits did not hesitate to make thousands of innocent people in the city scapegoats. They could do such inhumane things without hesitation, which shows how vicious the bandits’ hearts were.”

Yang Feng sighed while speaking. Although he had experienced dozens of battles, the ones who fought with him before were either the Qing Tartars, the Dutch or the Spanish, so the two countries were naturally doing everything they could to fight. No matter how vicious the other party used, it was normal.

But now these bandits are orthodox people of the Ming Dynasty. In order to survive, they can lead the people who are also the Ming Dynasty to die without hesitation. This really made him have a more understanding of human nature.

After pondering for a while, Yang Feng said, "Since the bandits have fled, the baggage camp left 500 people to bury the bodies of the people here. Then they posted a notice to appease the people, and reported the situation to the court to explain the situation here, and asked the court to send officials to Anqing again.

Yan Di led his troops to pursue Ningguo Mansion, and I personally led the rest to pursue Huizhou Mansion, and then sent someone to inform Cao Yingmao, and then stopped them after finding out the direction of the robbers' escape. It is important that they and Li Zicheng meet together! Do you understand?"

"Here!"

Just as Yang Feng personally led a large army to pursue Ningguo Mansion and Huizhou Mansion, Tian Wenxiu also fled towards Ningguo Mansion with more than 3,000 bandits.

The Ming Dynasty was a country with shortage of horses. Although this situation has improved to a certain extent with the surrender of Mongolia and the demise of the Qing Tartars in recent years, horses are still scarce resources in the Ming Dynasty.

Even cavalry was scarce in the Ming Dynasty, let alone bandits. Among the more than 3,000 bandits led by Tian Jianxiu, the ones who could have horses were the leaders of the whistle managers, the leaders above the headquarters, and their personal guards.

After a night of escaping, the rest of the people except those with horses were already exhausted.

After dawn, a chief officer looked at the team that had already been dragged into a long snake formation before and after, and said to Tian Jianxiu: "Master Tian, ​​my brothers have been running all night and have been exhausted. Let them stop and rest for a while before leaving, right? Otherwise, if this continues, I'm afraid that my brothers will not be able to hold on!"

Tian Jianxiu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, send the order to let the brothers stop and rest for an hour."

"Okay!"

The head of the Ministry was happy when he heard this and quickly started to drink loudly: "Tian Master has an order, everyone stopped to rest for half an hour, drank water and had a meal, and set off on time after an hour."

The old camp thieves riding horses also divided several horses to run towards both ends, conveying Tian Mixiu's orders while running.

After hearing the words of this general, the bandits on the road sat on the ground like a general amnesty.

Some of the bandits responsible for the diet picked up firewood and fed water. They quickly set up a large pot to start boiling water. After the water boiled, they poured all the rice, wheat, sorghum, dried sweet potatoes and other grains they carried with them into the pot in a honeycomb, then put some salt, and cooked a large pot of grains, and distributed them to the bandits for food.

Of course, the above is just the food of ordinary bandits. Tian Jianxiu and others were the leaders of the headquarters, and naturally they were not in this ranks.

Tian Jianxiu, three ministers and more than ten whistle managers sat together next to a slightly flat big stone. Each of them held a bowl of rice, some jerky and vegetables in the bowl, and a large bowl of tea in front of them. The group ate with the tea with relish.

A chief executive ate two large bowls of rice in a row and drank the tea in front of him completely. Then he let out a long sigh: "Happy... My biggest wish a few years ago was to be able to eat a full meal. If I could ask a big-butt woman to die, I would die with peace of mind. This wish has come true now."

Another minister next to him laughed and scolded: "Lao Wang, you can not only have enough food, but also be a groom every night. Can you die now?"

"Hahaha……"

The leaders around all burst into laughter after hearing this.

The head of the king was laughed at by everyone and glared at everyone, "You know, since I joined the rebel army, I can really have enough food. I also rebelled with the King of Chuang and killed many people. Even the rich lady slept a few times, but who would think that life was too much?

I heard that Jiangnan is the richest in Suzhou and Hangzhou. When I follow the King of Chuang to enter Hangzhou Prefecture, I must sleep with a few officials and ladies, so that I will not live in vain in my life.”

"By the way... I think so too. Don't forget to call us at that time."
