On the river beach on the north bank of Xiaoling River, tens of thousands of Ming troops were in a mess on the river beach. You squeezed me, I squeezed you. Everything was in chaos, and there was no order at all.
The cavalry of the Jin Army are everywhere, and they are surrounded like iron barrels. Where is the way back?
Fear and uneasiness spread throughout the Ming army, and everyone from top to bottom had the courage to fight again. Many Ming soldiers were already running out of breath. They had no strength at all. They just sat or fell to the ground, and the sky was not clear.
He didn't ask any questions.
Most of the weapons of the Ming army have been discarded. There are only less than three or four thousand people with weapons in their hands. The others are empty-handed and are following the crowd to the left and right in a daze.[
Zhang Hongmo and other generals saw that they were trapped, and the Jin army suddenly stopped attacking. They all thought that the Jin army might want to persuade them to surrender. Some generals privately discussed that this battle was unwinnable. If they continued to fight, they would die. If they surrender now,
, this life can probably be saved.
General Hu Daxian led the guerrilla soldiers Zheng, Sun Gu and others to find Zhang Hongmo in the crowd and persuaded him to tell Zhang Chun that it was better to surrender.
Zhang Hongmo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to go to Zhang Chun to talk about surrender.
He has no choice. If there is still something to be done, why would he want to take the road of surrender? But now, it is impossible to surrender. Looking at it, who is not frightened by the Jin Army? This will
Even if they resist desperately, they can only hold on for a moment and be finished. Rather than being slaughtered by the Jin army, it is better to surrender and pull them down. No matter what happens, the lives of these more than 10,000 soldiers can be saved.
Among the senior generals who left the city together, Lieutenant General Manku died in the battle, Lieutenant General Wang Zhiku committed suicide, and Lieutenant General Zhang Jifu died in the battle. The rest, such as Generals Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu, etc., either died in the rebellion or committed suicide, and the rest belonged to Zhang Hongmo.
The biggest one, Wu Xiang and Song Wei on the left and right wings were missing, so the only one who could speak to Zhang Chun on behalf of the generals was Zhang Hongmo.
It can be said that surrender was the common wish of all Ming generals and even soldiers in the encirclement. If Zhang Chun still refused, Hu Daxian even offered to tie up Zhang Chun himself, and then everyone followed Zhang Hongmo's order.
Zhang Hongmo shook his head categorically and said no. He was only responsible for advising Master Bingbei, but he would never do such a shameful thing. If Hu Daxian and others insist on doing this, please ask them to tie him up too.
Zhang Hongmo was resolute and had hundreds of cavalry under his command. Hu Daxian and others did not dare to act without permission, so they had to agree that if the commander of the army did not surrender, they would act according to the situation and find an opportunity to surrender themselves.
Hearing this, Zhang Hongmo nodded and went to Zhang Chun with a heavy heart. After a few words, he finally persuaded: "Sir, the Jin army has surrounded us and we can't escape. Why don't we... surrender?"
Let's do it." After saying that, he blushed a little, and it was obvious that he felt uncomfortable and embarrassed about surrendering.
"If I want to surrender you, I will never surrender."
Zhang Chun struggled to get off Dong Kaiguo's shoulders, staggered onto a chariot, and sat cross-legged there. Then he closed his eyes, took a long breath, slowly looked at Zhang Hongmo, and almost begged: "My army
There are still more than 10,000 people. If we charge south with all our strength, we may not be able to get out. If we surrender like this, I dare to ask General Zhang, will you be willing?"
Zhang Chun's tone was almost pleading, and he even called Zhang Hongmo "General Zhang". Zhang Hongmo was shocked and his face turned red again. He stared at Zhang Chun's old face for a long time, said nothing, but turned back and walked towards Hu Daxian and the others.
, discuss something in a low voice.
Immediately, I heard some generals shouting. They were far away and couldn't hear what they were saying, but it was obvious that they didn't want to listen to Zhang Chun's instructions to break out to the south. They kept arguing like this for a long time before Fang calmed down. Hu Daxian
He was standing there with great enthusiasm, glancing towards Zhang Chun from time to time.
Zhang Hongmo, who had received the consent of the generals, walked up to the chariot where Zhang Chun was sitting as if he had settled a major matter in his heart, and said solemnly: "I am willing to break out with you, but I must tell you that if you can't break out,
, in order to protect the lives of the soldiers, the general has no choice but to surrender, I hope you won’t be blamed!”
"Okay, pass on the order. As soon as the Jin army moves, the whole army will rush south with all its strength. Whether they can go back depends on this time. General Zhang will be responsible for the breakout. I am old and frail.
, If you can get out of danger, get out of danger; if you can't get out of danger, then end it on your own, so as not to be insulted by that slave."
After Zhang Chun panted and said this, he raised his hand to indicate that he was a little tired. Upon seeing this, Zhang Hongmo nodded and went to summon the generals to discuss breaking out of the encirclement.
After Zhang Hongmo left, Dong Kaiguo walked gently to Zhang Chun, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sir, please don't take Zhang Hongmo's words seriously. I see that he and those people are determined to surrender to the Jian slaves. How can we really do this?"
Will you listen to the adults' attempts to break through? Even if you break through, it's probably just a show and cannot be taken seriously."
Zhang Chun smiled bitterly: "I don't know, but what else can I do now besides trusting him?"
Dong Kai's Mandarin language was stagnant, and his eyes dropped to his feet.[
Behind him, there was a sudden commotion. He turned around and saw several horses suddenly galloping out of the Jin army formation. The first two riders were all wearing Han family clothes, but they had never seen them before.
"May I ask if Mr. Zhang Chun, the military supervisor of the Ming Dynasty's military preparations, is in the formation?"
Fan Wencheng was high-spirited and shouted with great enthusiasm. His eyes searched the crowd, trying to find Zhang Chun. However, the Ming army was densely packed, crowded and airtight. How could he find Zhang Chun among tens of thousands of people?
Chun. I can only wait for Mr. Zhang Chun to come out on his own.
After waiting for a while, no one answered on the other side. Fan Wencheng was a little surprised, thinking that Zhang Chun died in the rebellion?
Bao Chengxian couldn't hold back his anger, so he took a step forward on his horse and shouted again: "May I ask if Mr. Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the military preparations of the Ming Dynasty, is in the formation? Bao Chengxian, a disciple of the Ming Dynasty, has come to persuade Mr. Zhang Chun to surrender to me on the order of my Khan King.
!If you can lead your troops back, our King Khan will not only save the lives of you and all the generals, but also generously reward them. Everyone who is an official in the Ming Dynasty will be promoted to another level in our country, and all the soldiers will also be given silver!
Such preferential treatment shows that our King Khan is sincere in recruiting all of you. If you are willing to come and join us, just put down your weapons and walk out on your own!"
After hearing this, the Ming army suddenly became commotion again. Hundreds of people walked out of the formation without hesitation, ignoring the shouts of their companions behind them, and walked towards the Jin army without looking back. Hu Daxian and others had long wanted to surrender.
The general couldn't hold back his excitement, and couldn't help but want to surrender now. However, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Hongmo and his cavalry looking at them coldly, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.
Only more than a hundred Ming troops came out to surrender, and the more Ming soldiers did not move. They were very surprised and suspicious of what Bao Chengxian said. In view of the precedent of the Jin army massacring the city and surrendering in Yongping, although most people wanted to surrender, they could not surrender.
But they were afraid that they would be massacred if they surrendered, and seeing that the generals were not moving, they naturally did not dare to move lightly.
His words only attracted more than a hundred soldiers to surrender. Bao Chengxian was a little disappointed. He wanted to make a splash, so his words were enough to persuade all the Ming army to disarm and surrender. However, he never thought that Ming Dynasty, which was already in desperate situation, would surrender.
The army was so courageous. But he didn't know that except for a few of the tens of thousands of Ming army on the opposite side, most of them wanted to surrender immediately. The reason why they didn't surrender was because they were all waiting and watching.
Zhang Chun still didn't come out to answer, and no Ming army general came forward. Fan Wencheng frowned and shouted again: "If we continue to fight, we will only have to make more sacrifices. My Khan, King Renyi, cannot bear to have you bury your life here. I sincerely
Recruit, if you are willing to return, my King Khan will come in person to meet with the boss and the generals!"
There was still no response from the other side.
The shouting was like hitting cotton with fists, and there was no reaction at all. This made Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian a little agitated. Fan Wencheng didn't mind the trouble and kept shouting several times. The Ming army on the opposite side looked as if they were dead, and there was still no movement.
.
"Brother Bao, let's go back. It seems that Mr. Zhang Chun will not surrender even if he is beaten to death. Instead of wasting his words here, it is better to leave it to a few flag owners."
Fan Wencheng sighed and turned his horse's head spiritedly. Bao Chengxian said bitterly to the Ming army, "Zhang Chun has one leg inserted into the coffin, and he is still holding on to drag so many people with him."
Buried with him, this old man is too vicious! He doesn’t understand current affairs!"
The two came in high spirits, both wanting to make immortal contributions, but failed. The angry Yang Ma went to return to Huang Taiji. Here, the Ming army saw that the envoy who persuaded Chen had left, and everyone panicked.
When they got up, the Jin army over there saw that the Ming army refused to surrender, so they began to pick up their swords and arrows, ready to attack at any time.
Upon hearing that Zhang Chun didn't even show his face, Fan Bao and Fan Bao only persuaded more than a hundred Ming soldiers to surrender, and the rest were motionless. The emperor was very angry and immediately ordered all the banners to attack. Zhang Chun refused to surrender and was captured alive.
Take him to the big tent to see if he surrenders!
In order to prevent the trapped beast from continuing to fight, Huang Taiji made a plan and asked Yue Tuo and Pian Gu to open a gap. In this way, the Ming army would not fight to the end when they saw that there was still a way to survive, and the solution would be much faster. After all, the Ming army still had
There are more than 10,000 people, and Mr. Zhang Chun refuses to surrender. It will take some trouble to kill the generals.
The order was sent to Azig, Dorgon, Abatai, Shuotuo, Sahalian and others to drive the Ming army towards the Xiaoling River.
After receiving the Khan's order, all the banners immediately began to attack. Yue Tuo and Pian Gu did not waste time to make way for an opening, so that the Ming army could run to the Xiaoling River along this opening.
