This is a word that appeared in the minds of Kuai Bai and Liu Dongyang at the same time.
"The mastermind is commanding at the top of the city. I will organize the troops to drive the Ming army out of Ningxia City." Liu Dongyang bowed his hand to Kuai and said.
"Commander, go quickly, I will leave the city head to you." Kuaibai said with a righteous look.
Liu Dongyang left in a hurry with a group of soldiers. Kuaibai watched him go away, then waved to the soldiers on the left and right, and said: "Go back home! Call Cheng'en, Wenxiu, and Kuaiyun back. In addition, let's
Keep an eye on Liu Dongyang, don't let him escape."
When the city was destroyed, both sides had their own agendas, and they were both thinking about how to get the other side's head and hand it over to Ye Mengxiong in order to atone for their crime. However, both of them didn't have enough soldiers around them, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
That's why they had to separate and go back to gather their own strength.
"Report, we caught a rebel general. He claimed that he was Liu Dongyang's subordinate and wanted to see the governor and tell him something important."
Outside Ningxia City, a guard ran up to Ye Mengxiong, who was watching the battle at the front, and loudly reported.
Ye Mengxiong turned around, smiled and said to the generals behind him: "This must be the envoy sent by Liu Dongyang to ask for surrender. This is called flying away when disaster strikes."
After that, he ordered the guards: "Bring him up."
After a while, a rebel officer whose weapons had been confiscated was brought over by the guards. He was Liu Chuanbai, Liu Dongyang's partner when he started the army. As soon as he saw Ye Mengxiong's face, Liu Chuanbai knelt down and kowtowed: "
Governor Ye forgives the sin, and the guilty general Liu Chuanbai came to plead guilty to Governor Ye on the order of General Liu."
"General Liu? Who appointed him?" Ye Mengxiong's face darkened and he asked.
"This..." Liu Chuanbai knew that he had said the wrong thing. Liu Dongyang was the self-proclaimed commander-in-chief of the military. How could he mention this official name in front of Ye Mengxiong? He quickly changed his words: "It's my family...well, it's Liu Dongyang, the criminal general.
Send the young general to come and plead guilty."
"You also know that you are guilty?" Ye Mengxiong asked.
Liu Chuanbai said: "The guilty general will know it. However, the guilty general also has an unspeakable secret. This is all instigated by the traitors. We originally only wanted to make money and had no intention of rebellion."
"Killing governors and general soldiers, burning documents, releasing prisoners, and seizing forts in Hexi, is this an unspeakable secret?" Ye Mengxiong asked.
Liu Chuanbai said: "The guilty general has been convicted. Liu...Liu Dongyang sent the guilty general here just to ask for mercy from Governor Ye's subordinates. The guilty general is willing to give up his merits."
Ye Mengxiong said: "How do you plan to offset your merits?"
Liu Chuanbai said: "The guilty general is willing to offer the rebel's head and worship him in order to pay for his crime."
"How capable are you to get Kuai Bai's head?" Ye Mengxiong asked.
"Yes, yes!" Liu Chuanbai sensed an opportunity from Ye Mengxiong's question. He quickly responded, "Liu Dongyang asked me to report to the Governor. As long as the Governor can forgive our crimes, we are willing to mobilize our troops to attack.
Pay homage to the government and kill him."
Ye Mengxiong shook his head and said: "Liu Dongyang is still the leader of the rebellion. His crime is unforgivable. However, if you and other cowards have performed meritorious deeds, I can protect you from death. I want to see Kuaibai's head, Liu Dongyang's head,
You have to bring it to me too."
"The guilt will be revealed!" Liu Chuanbai almost didn't even hesitate, and directly agreed to Ye Mengxiong's conditions. At this point, all brotherly loyalty is fake, and being able to save his own head is the most important. He knows...
Chao Chao, Zhang Wenxue and others would not object to using Liu Dongyang’s head as a gift to exonerate themselves.
Liu Dongyang took Xu Chao, and Liu Chuanbai and others discussed how to trap Kuaibai. However, Xu Chao and others turned around and discussed privately whether to trap Liu Dongyang in order to wash away their own crimes. The chaos within the rebels can be seen from this.
A spot.
In the city of Ningxia, Zu Chengxun led the Liaodong soldiers to advance street by street and alley, expanding the results little by little. Deng Kui and Zhang Yunlong commanded the survey battalion to follow the Liaodong soldiers as they advanced. They continued to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the street and sniped with muskets.
Kill the rebel archers and provide cover for the Liaodong soldiers.
The Ming army's advance was very slow, which was also based on Ye Mengxiong's prior arrangements. Ye Mengxiong firmly believed that under the pressure of the strong offensive, the rebels would definitely have internal strife. What the Ming army had to do was to maintain this pressure and at the same time give the rebels
Leave time to attack each other. In this way, the Ming army can complete the task of counterinsurgency at the minimum cost.
"Brothers, Governor Ye of the imperial court said that as long as we can fight back and take the head of the Kuaibai traitor, he can forgive our brothers' crimes and protect us from death. The Kuaibai traitor has bullied us for so many years, and now
It's time for us to seek justice from him." Liu Dongyang stood outside his General Military Mansion and gave orders to the thousands of Ningxia Guard Han generals who had just fought.
The generals all had blank expressions on their faces. By this time, they had no idea who was who and who was right. When Liu Dongyang started the uprising, they were just coerced into it. When the Ming army pressed on,
It was true that they had not been shaken, but they did not know how the imperial court would punish rebels like themselves, so they could only obey the general's orders and reluctantly went to the city to resist.
Now, the imperial army destroyed the city wall and invaded the city in an extremely violent way. They completely lost their fighting spirit and were like meat on the chopping board, waiting to be chopped into mincemeat. But suddenly, Liu Dongyang was given another chance.
He gave them a new instruction, saying that as long as he killed Kuaibai, he would be forgiven. They didn't know whether this was true or not, so they could only follow it blindly.
"Let's set off towards Kuaibai Mansion!"
Liu Dongyang waved his sword, and the sergeants picked up their weapons one after another and marched towards the Kuai Bai camp on the other side of the city.
"What do you want to do!"
Just walking halfway, they ran into another group of people. The leader was Kuai Bai's adopted son Kuai Yun. Behind him, there were two to three thousand soldiers under Kuai Bai's command. They were also holding weapons and marching forward.
The direction is obviously Liu Dongyang's General Military Mansion.
"Do you want to rebel?"
Both sides accused each other in unison, completely forgetting that they had actually rebelled and wanted to take advantage of the other party.
I don’t know who made the move first, and the two teams started fighting all of a sudden. The sergeants on both sides had the same idea: only by killing the other side could they survive in the imperial army.
There was originally a deep conflict between the Yibai Army and the Han Army of the Ningxia Guard. This time they started a rebellion together. On the surface, they were allies, but the inner estrangement had never been eliminated. At this time of life and death, the two sides started to move.
There will be no need to show mercy when the hand comes.
"Kill, kill these Tartars, kill the traitors!"
"Kill! Kill all the Han dogs!"
Both sides shouted slogans, spears, and swords to greet each other. Although the Ningxia army had rebelled, their clothes were still the Ming army's standard war jackets. When the fight started, it would not be possible to tell the difference between friend and foe after a while.
Now, it is not uncommon to point swords and guns at one's own companions. Some people even deliberately pretend to be stupid and take the opportunity to attack colleagues who usually have trouble with them.
Both Liu Dongyang and Kuaibai mobilized their troops to attack the other party's camp, and there were very few rebels blocking the Ming army. Under the strong attack of the Ming army, the few resisters dropped their weapons and raised their hands.
Surrender. Zu Chengxun actually remembered Ye Mengxiong's instructions, not to kill any of the rebels who surrendered, but to have them captured, tied up, and sent to the rear.
As the resistance gradually collapsed, the Ming army advanced significantly faster, and soon arrived near the battlefield where Liu Dongyang's tribe and Kuaibai's tribe were fighting. Rebel officers and soldiers continued to escape from the scene of the conflict and were crashing into the Zucheng Training Center
From the confessions of these people, Zu Chengxun knew that the rebels were fighting among themselves, and immediately ordered the Ming army to stop attacking and turn to encirclement.
"When they bite dogs and bite each other until both sides are injured, it won't be too late for us to clean up the mess." Zu Chengxun explained to Deng Kui and Zhang Yunlong from the friendly forces.
"It is exactly what my deputy commander-in-chief wants. We will control the surrounding areas and prevent any rebels from escaping." Deng Kui responded.
The musketeers from Kanyu camp all went up to the roof and set up muskets to control the streets and alleys around the conflict area. The Liaodong soldiers were not idle either. They used local materials and built several barricades with various things.
Preparation for catching turtles in an urn.
"Inform the general, the Ming army has arrived and surrounded us." A sergeant had noticed something unusual around him and hurriedly ran to report to Liu Dongyang.
"Quickly exterminate all the Kuai worshipers, even if we get Kuai Yun's head first." Liu Dongyang ordered.
"It's too late. If we have to defeat the Kuai worshipers, our people will almost die." Xu Chao said from the side.
"What should we do?" Liu Dongyang was anxious. Of course, he also realized that he might have been deceived by the Ming army. If the fight continued like this, the final result would only be a profit for the Ming army. However, if the battle reaches this point, no matter how hard it is,
I want to join forces with Yi Baijun, is it still possible?
"Brother Liu, our brothers will follow your uprising without hesitation. Now that the big thing has failed, our brothers would like to ask Brother Liu to help our brothers and find a way out for our brothers." Xu Chao said.
"What way can I give you? In this situation, I can't help you even if I want to." Liu Dongyang asked casually without hearing the mystery behind Xu Chao's words.
Xu Chaodao: "Governor Ye said that as long as our brothers can offer your head, Brother Liu, and surrender to the court, we and other brothers will be spared."
"What! You want to kill me!" Liu Dongyang was shocked, pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and took half a step back.
"That's right! Brother Liu, don't worry, we will take care of your family!" Liu Chuanbai shouted behind Liu Dongyang, swung the steel knife and cut off Liu Dongyang's head.
"General Wei, Liu Dongyang's head is here. Let's stop fighting and surrender to the court!" Xu Chao carried Liu Dongyang's head and ran towards Weiyun, shouting loudly as he ran.
"No fight, no fight!"
Liu Chuanbai and Zhang Wenxu led a group of soldiers to shout together. In fact, when the soldiers on the scene saw the Ming army surrounding them, they had long lost their will to fight. When they heard one party calling for a cessation of fighting, they did not wait for their superiors to issue orders.
He put down his sword and gun and shouted.
After a while, the entire battlefield came to a standstill. The surviving rebel soldiers all took a few steps back, holding their swords in their hands, wary of their opponents who were still fighting with them just now, waiting for the Ming army to step forward to surrender.
