Not only did they think that they could not keep all the defeated rebels, but Zhang Shan, Zhang Mo and others did not dare to have such extravagant hopes before. Seeing that the defeated rebels were forced back by Batulu and others, their own generals were overjoyed and immediately
Command your own soldiers to encircle and surround you.
At this time, the defeat of the rebels was determined. As the saying goes, the defeat was like a mountain. The enemy generals could no longer control the soldiers who were disorganized and had no fighting spirit. No matter how loud they shouted, the rebel soldiers still ran around randomly, trying to escape for their lives.
Seeing this situation, he hurriedly ordered Datou and others to lead the soldiers to advance westward quickly. Without the resistance of the rebels, the soldiers advanced very quickly. After a while, they crossed the east and west, dividing the entire battlefield into two, and were always protected by the soldiers.
The grain team took the opportunity to rush westward, quickly leaving the battlefield and rushing to their own camp.
Worried that the rebels would jump over the wall and engage in a fight between trapped beasts, Zhang Shan immediately ordered the troops. After receiving the order, his own soldiers outflanked and intercepted the rebels, shouting in unison to put down their weapons and avoid punishment.
The rebels had no intention of fighting anymore. When they heard the loud shouts of their own soldiers, knowing that they would not die, they gave up resistance completely, put down their weapons, and sat down on the ground.
Seeing that someone on their own side gave up resistance, other rebels were afraid that surrendering their weapons too late would be considered as stubborn resistance and stubbornness, so they rushed to follow suit. After a while, the battlefield was filled with darkness.
I never understood why when the two armies were fighting, one side could easily capture tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of the other side. It clearly still had the strength to fight again, so why did it so easily surrender? It wasn’t until I visited the battlefield in person that I discovered that one of the sides was committing suicide.
When there is no hope of victory, large-scale surrenders will indeed occur, especially after obtaining the opponent's promise to disarm and not kill, and without worries, the surrender will be more straightforward.
While the rebels put down their weapons and sat on the ground, the purple energy masters and generals in the rebel army began to break out to the south. Most of the enemy's purple energy masters used volleys to fly across, while the generals galloped on their horses.
Although he was already exhausted, after seeing the enemy's purple energy masters and generals forcefully breaking out of the encirclement, he still mustered up his energy and whistled to summon the black master in the distance.
Hearing the whistle to summon his mount, Datou knew that he was going to hunt down the enemy's purple energy master and the captain general, so he hurriedly shouted and called Miss Bai over.
The mounts of the five people arrived at almost the same time. The four of them got on their horses, shook their reins and chased after them. The big head drove Miss Bai to follow at a low altitude.
There were at least nearly a hundred purple energy masters and generals who escaped on the rebel side, including more than ten purple energy masters. These purple energy masters did not break out with the rebel generals, but fled in different directions.
They were all helpers hired by Yang Shouliang with huge sums of money. Together with Yang Shouliang,
There is no real friendship, and now that Yang Shouliang is gone, they will naturally not share the same boat with him.
In addition to the five people chasing the rebels, there are six Ziqi Taoists on our side, including Zhang Mo. In addition, there is Chen Liqiu, who can generate wind and thunder wings.
For those enemy purple energy masters who were scattering like birds and beasts, everyone on our side did not go to chase and intercept them. Their main target was the rebel generals who fled on horseback. Although the decisive battle was over, several cities in Hanzhong had not yet been conquered. If we let it go,
The rebel generals fled back, and they would inevitably lead the remaining troops to prevent their own side from regaining the city.
Seeing that his own people were chasing the rebel general from below, Batulu was also eager to land and join in. However, Li Zhongyong refused and forced him to drive the fire unicorn and fly to his own military camp carrying the remaining wooden boxes.
The others were driven either by BMW horses or spiritual birds. After a while, they caught up with the rebel generals who were trying to break through. Most of these rebel generals did not have spiritual cultivation, so they were naturally no match for their own people. In addition,
The defeated general had no fighting spirit. He had not run five miles before most of them were killed by his own men. The remaining ones saw that the situation was not good and had no choice but to give up resistance and were captured without mercy.
By the time Zhang Mo and others caught up, the interception had ended. The rebel general who had been captured alive by the others was dejected and his face was ashen.
It was already midnight in the morning, and the brutal melee that lasted for seven or eight hours was finally over.
Datou and others escorted the captured rebel general back. Chen Liqiu left first and rushed to the military camp to meet Batulu and Li Zhongyong. Zhang Mo accompanied him to Zhang Shan's location.
After distancing himself from everyone, Zhang Mo frowned and tilted his head, looking up and down.
She noticed that Zhang Mo looked at her with a lot of displeasure. He didn't know why and looked at her with confusion.
"Didn't you say there are two pieces of silkworm clothes?" Zhang Mo asked.
He didn't answer immediately. Zhang Mo found out from the injuries on his body that he was not wearing the Tiancanyi. When he gave Zhang Mo the Tiancanyi, he had said that he had two pieces. Zhang Mo always thought that he also had one, so that's why he did this.
Just ask.
There were indeed two pieces of silkworm clothes. He did not lie to Zhang Mo, but he asked Song Cai to bring the other one to Ni Chenyi who was far away in the Western Regions. The reason why he did not answer the call immediately was because he was hesitant to tell the truth to Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo didn't know that there were two pieces of Tiancanyi, even though he lied that there was only one piece of Tiancanyi
, Zhang Mo didn’t know either, and even mistakenly thought that the reason why he lied to him before was because he was worried that she would refuse to accept this piece of silkworm clothing. No matter from which point of view, lying about only one piece of silkworm clothing is a very smart move.
Not only can he avoid Zhang Mo's possible displeasure, but he can also take the opportunity to highlight his love for Zhang Mo.
However, after pondering, he did not choose a smart approach, but chose to tell the truth, "There are indeed two pieces of Tiancanyi, but they belong to the Ni family. I only took one, and I asked the Song brothers for the other one.
Brought it to Ni Chenyi."
Zhang Mon is a lady of the family, she is reasonable, different from the petty, jealous and worldly woman. When she heard the words, not only did she not become suspicious, she was actually very pleased, "You are right. Sanyizi is far away in the Western Regions and has left his hometown, so he needs this thing.
"
He didn't answer, let alone Zhang Mo being considerate of himself. Even if Zhang Mo would be unhappy, he would tell the truth, because lying and deception is the worst behavior. Its essence is the loss of sincerity and the fooling of others. No matter how cruel the truth is,
No lie is bad.
"Thankfully I called you here," Zhang Mo said seriously, "Without you, we couldn't win this battle."
"This is not my fault alone." He was not being hypocritical and modest, because Zhang Mo said it was indeed the truth. If it weren't for the help of himself, the top four and three senior brothers, Zhang Shanzhen would not have been able to win this battle.
"They were all invited by you. Without you, they wouldn't be here." Zhang Mo said.
"To be fair, it's a fluke that I can fight like this," he shook his head and said, "I never dared to think that I could fight so beautifully."
Zhang Mo was also in a good mood at this time, and did not hide his admiration for me at all, "Yes, you are really an ancient wizard, with unparalleled insights and understanding of analogies. In the first battle, you were able to persuade 30,000 enemy vanguards to surrender. This is what we are doing here."
The key to winning the war."
Zhang Mo felt a little embarrassed when he said, "You are a wise man who is suspicious of your neighbors. You are too proud of yourself. It's a fluke that I was able to persuade them to surrender."
"I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation. You've really grown up." Zhang Mo said with a smile.
He was exhausted both physically and mentally, and felt depressed. When he heard Zhang Mo's words, his spirit was instantly shaken. He was not sure if Zhang Mo's words were just casual remarks or if he meant something else.
While the two were talking, Zhang Shan came over from not far away. It could be seen that Zhang Shan was very tired at this time, but he was in a very good mood. "You turned the tide in this battle and made an immortal contribution.
It is truly a blessing to the Tang Dynasty and a blessing to all people!"
<
br> "Brother, I am ashamed to praise you. You know people well and command the troops well." He was very frightened. Zhang Shan was a very strict person. In his impression, Zhang Shan did not praise himself many times.
I criticize myself quite a lot.
"I did not misjudge you." Zhang Shan said with a smile.
Worried that Zhang Shan would praise him again, he hurriedly changed the subject, "Brother, how should we deal with these surrendered soldiers?"
"Now is the time to employ men, so it is natural to recruit all the surrendered soldiers." Zhang Shan looked around excitedly, "There are at least 100,000 surrendered soldiers in this battle. If we join forces with Tongchen again, there should be 300,000 soldiers."
It will be used by the imperial court to quell rebellion and correct deviations, and it will be just around the corner."
"The ancients said that a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. Before, the eldest brother only had 100,000 new troops, and the formation of troops was stretched. Now that he has 300,000 soldiers, he can finally flex his muscles and make arrangements calmly." He said.
Zhang Shan smiled and nodded, "Okay, leave the rest to us. You first invite your friends to go back to the camp and take a rest."
After nodding, he said, "Brother, I previously promised to protect the soldiers of the grain team and let them return home after this battle."
"What you say must be true, and what you do must be resounding," Zhang Shan nodded slowly, "You go over and explain a few words first, and I will order the military affairs general to handle the next matter."
After nodding, he went to the west side of the battlefield. At this time, the surrendered rebel soldiers were sitting on the ground, while the soldiers protecting the food team were still standing with their arms in hand. The reason why they did not sit down was to separate the rebels, and also to distinguish themselves from the soldiers just now.
The rebels gave up their resistance because they wore the same military uniforms as the rebels and could not tell them apart once they sat down.
Take a deep breath, raise your breath and speak out, "The soldiers who were previously guarding the charge of the food team came forward and lined up."
This was what everyone was waiting for. After saying this, the surviving soldiers hurriedly ran forward and lined up from the west side of the battlefield.
The previous bloody battle resulted in heavy casualties among the surrendered soldiers. At this time, less than 8,000 of the 30,000 soldiers were left. When they finished lining up, they shouted again, "You are loyal and surrendered in front of the battle. You have made great contributions to guarding the food team. I would like to say this."
Jiuding, keep your word, the general will register you all later, grant you exemption documents, and then choose a day to return home."
Hearing the words, the surviving surrender soldiers were very moved, with tears in their eyes. Fulfilling the promise was one of them. What moved them most was the evaluation of them. There was no word surrender in the words.
Moved in my heart, I knelt down and cheered, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."
