Outside Jiangpu City, Liu Zhong's impact before leaving caused Zhang Dayuan's position to be in chaos.

Before he could curse himself, the Ming army chased him, and Zhang Dayuan finally suffered from his own suffering.

The 20,000 troops were almost intact. The musketeers held the newly-made muskets of Songjiang Prefecture and fired side by side. At this point, Zhang Dayuan knew that he had no chance of winning. Hu Maozhen shouted loudly: "General, surrender, everyone is Han, why bother killing each other?"

Zhang Dayuan nodded and shouted: "Submit, we have surrendered."

The people were waiting for him to order surrender, which was familiar to them. How did Li Zicheng surrender at the beginning and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty from Li Zicheng. Now he plans to use the same trick again and surrender to Hou Xuanyan. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is booming now, and I guess he can do well.

Hu Maozhen excitedly ordered his personal soldiers to stand on a high place to raise their weapons, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the general has an order, we have surrendered."

When the Qing soldiers next to him heard this, they threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground. Slowly, like a plague, the entire Qing army camp abandoned their swords and surrendered.

The military discipline of the Northern Expedition was very strict. When the Ming army, who were shooting while advancing, saw this posture, stopped shooting one after another, waiting for Hou Xuanyan's general order.

Qin He said happily, "Master, they have surrendered."

Hou Xuanyan grabbed a bow and arrow from his personal soldiers' waists, aimed at the Qing soldiers standing at a high place and bent their bows and shot. Unfortunately, his arrows were loose and soft and fell to the ground halfway. Hu Bawan was afraid that his general was embarrassed, so he drew his arrows and pulled his bow and shot through the throat of the soldier who was asking for surrender at a high place. The soldier fell heavily and just hit Zhang Dayuan's feet.

Although Hou Xuan's archery technique is bad, he can't do it but he is very good at speaking, and said sternly: "Avenge the people of Jiangpu, and no one killer will be left. I, Hou Xuanyan, cannot accept a group of people who slaughter their compatriots and be my own brother."

Without any hesitation, the Ming army continued to massacre at the moment of waving the flag. It was easy to throw away the weapons, but it was difficult to resist there. Zhang Dayuan rode himself on his horse and wanted to take advantage of the time when the Ming army was still a distance away. As soon as the main general fled, the Qing soldiers had no intention of fighting, so they got up and ran away. The Northern Expedition Army's muskets exerted extraordinary power at this time, and they chased and killed the fleeing enemy troops, which was really a big wing.

Each shooting is more effective than the shooting training in the school field. These 20,000 people are elites from each battalion, and they also have the idea of ​​bringing glory to their own battalions, wanting to compete for their long and short.

The Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han were not equipped with armor, and in the heat of the summer, no one dared to fight in animal skins, so they would be so hot before they could start fighting. Every time the fire gun hit the body, it would be basically bloody.

Zhang Dayuan was the pioneer of the Qing army, but unexpectedly, he met Hou Xuanyan in Jiangbei whom they thought would definitely not appear. After a fierce battle, the entire army was killed.

In the scorching sun, flocks of flies buzzing and flying back and forth on the hill made of corpses. The old military flag was inserted obliquely on the ground, and the black birds waiting for the rotten flesh in the distance made a creepy cry. The blood flowed out slowly turned the land a little soft. If you accidentally walk, you will step on the blood mud and splash it on the blood mud.

Zhang Huangyan came over and saw Hou Xuanyan leaning against the city wall drinking water. He asked anxiously: "Duke, these Qing soldiers have knelt on the ground and asked for surrender. Why do we still have to start a massacre? In this first battle of the Northern Expedition, we killed tens of thousands of prisoners. From now on, the Han soldiers in the north will be determined to follow the Manchus."

His tone was not good, and he was anxious, and he also forgot about his superiority. In his opinion, the Northern Expedition was a major event, and as long as it could help the success of the Northern Expedition, it was a huge event. Hou Xuanyan ordered the massacre of the Qing soldiers who put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender, which surprised Zhang Huangyan, and also felt very unreasonable. In his opinion, Hou Xuanyan was not the one who killed them all, and he forgived many people who offended him in Jiangnan. However, as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, the kind-hearted Duke of Yue became cruel and bloodthirsty.

Hou Xuanyan took a sip of cold water, raised his palm to block the scorching sun, and said slowly: "Jiangpu City is right in front of you. I have just been slaughtered by these people. If I don't kill them, the traitors will be even more unscrupulous when they slaughter the city. At worst, they will throw their weapons and kneel on the ground and continue to be free. I am not the Tathagata Buddha. They can't become Buddhas even if they put down the butcher knife. They are still executioners who slaughter the people, and murderers with blood stained with their hands. What's wrong with the murderer's death?"

"But what we need to do is to make a great cause of the Northern Expedition. We cannot just avenge our grudges, just to be happy."

Hou Xuanyan threw the kettle and scolded: "You fart, I just want to be happy? A group of executioners who shaved their heads slaughtered all the murderers of the people of Jiangpu, and wanted to return to my account to be a Northern Expedition Army. Are they worthy?" Hou Xuanyan stood up and patted his butt, and pointed his hand around: "You open your eyes and see, what a good man my Northern Expedition Army is, they are also suitable to come in? When I am regaining my hometown, I tell you that I am wrong! We come across the river, and it is the Northern Expedition! The word "fade" is the first, "fade, defeat the guilt, and attack karma. If you commit a damn crime, you have to die, and no one can save them. My Hou Xuanyan today forgives and accepts these executioners for the slaughtered northern people. Then what is the difference between me and Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty? The Northern Expedition has completely become an ordinary war to fight for territory."

The soldiers next to them had red faces, and they all straightened their backs, looking proud.

Zhang Huangyan was speechless and lowered his head and said, "What the Duke said has its own reason, and the officials should not question the general orders. But if we have a strong desire to kill, this Northern Expedition may be extremely difficult."

"Hu Wuren, Han Daochang, there is any decent resistance wherever the sword and weapon go. When you are like wolves and tigers, I will kill you to show you so that the people of the world can see clearly that the Eight Banners of Manchuria are just a group of paper tigers and mud-filled wolves. The Han Dynasty had the Huns who were rampant for a while, so Huo Qubing could seal the wolf's residence; the Mongol Yuan turmoil caused trouble in the world, so that Emperor Gaozu expelled the Tartars and restored China. Compared with the Huns, Turks, Khitans, Mongol Yuan, and Manchurian Jiannu, it was difficult to reach the number of people and combat power of the people. What are you afraid of?"

After Hou Xuan finished speaking, he turned over and said loudly: "Jirgalang is very aggressive, and a striker will definitely not give up. Take a break and prepare to face the enemy."

Zhang Dayuan, the vanguard general of the Qing army, fled in a hurry, left the three armies to be slaughtered, and finally met Jiergalang halfway.

Jirgalang was wearing a stone-blue robe, embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons, four groups of dragons in front and back, and two shoulders. He was wearing a black hat on his head, and two rubies on it, which looked like a nouveau rich man. However, this was also the unified dress of the Qing princes. Dorgon had just asked the surrendered Han officials and Manchus to design an official uniform that suited the Manchus' tastes. This set could only be worn by the prince. When he saw his vanguard, he fled back to the few people. Jirgalang, who had never felt the danger since entering the pass, no longer cared about his prince's robe. He threw the heavy hat on his head, grabbed the fancy robe on his body, and said angrily: "Who made you like this?"

"Liu Zhong deserves to die! Liu Zhong deserves to die! Prince, Liu Zhong returns to the horse and rushes to the battlefield, killing my subordinates to death and wounding, and flees by himself. If it weren't for him, the last general would have been able to hold Hou Xuanyan back and capture him alive when the prince's army arrives."

Jirgalang was originally looking at him kneeling on the ground and crying with contempt. After hearing this, he stood up and said, "What did you say? Hou Xuanyan?"

Zhang Dayuan knelt down and climbed to Jiergalang's feet, raised his head and said, "That's right, Hou Xuanyan has led his troops across the river himself, and the last general can see clearly."

"If you dare to lie for fear of crime and fabricate such military information, I will kill your whole family."

Zhang Dayuan vowed: "Don't worry, Prince, it's definitely Hou Xuan who has played it. I've seen all my soldiers." The remaining defeated soldiers who fled back behind him nodded and said yes.

Jiergalang laughed with a whip, and what was the loss of some Han Eight Banners soldiers? As long as he could kill Hou Xuanyan, everything would be worth it.

"I originally thought that he would have to go through a lot of trouble when he was huddled in Jinling. Who knew that he was so brave and dared to cross the river to die? How many people did he have?"

Hou Xuanyan formed a large formation, and it is very easy to estimate that Zhang Dayuan had been through the battlefield for a long time and had already budgeted that he had less than 20,000 people. However, he was defeated too ugly, so he naturally didn't dare to say that only these people were the only ones. His eyes turned and said, "Hou Xuanyan formed a square formation, and the number of people was obvious at a glance, no less than 50,000."

Jirgalang frowned and whipped Zhang Dayuan's face with a whip. A bloodstain from his forehead to his cheek, and his eyes almost pulled out. He fell to the ground and howled in pain.

"The Huo character camp is in Huai'an, the Houtu camp is in Luzhou, and the Hunan barracks are in Guangdong. Where did the 50,000 people come from? You dare to lie about the military information after you lost the battle, and drag it out to behead me."

Zhang Dayuan didn't care about the pain of the whip on his face, knelt on the ground, begged for mercy and kowtowed like pounding garlic. Two burly Manchu soldiers with big arms and round waists dragged him aside, chopped him down with a knife, and turned his head around the ground for a few rounds, and rolled to Hu Maozhen.

Jirgalang pointed at the deputy general Hu Maozhen with a horse whip, lowered his head and asked, "How many people do you think?"

Zhang Dayuan's head was right in front of him, with a bloody smell. Hu Maozhen didn't dare to say a word of his extra words and blurted out: "Twenty thousand."

"Twenty thousand people killed you without leaving any of them. It's such a waste. What's the use of keeping them? Cut them all for me." Jirgalang was really angry. Since entering the pass, they have won the more with fewer ones, and they have never been defeated like this.

The Manchu Jiannu, who believed in force, absolutely refused to admit that the bravery of the Han people was better than themselves, otherwise they would not have the confidence that 200,000 people entered the Central Plains.
