Su Jiakang had a look of panic on his face when he first discovered that he was being ambushed. But after all, he was an official who had gone through a brutal imperial examination battle. He was a serious Jinshi. Whether it was his knowledge or his calmness, he was better than
Zeng Ziyun is much stronger.
So I quickly calmed down.
When he saw that Zeng Ziyun could not make a decision quickly, he made a decisive decision and passed Zeng Ziyun, personally giving the order: "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you get out of the valley quickly!"
At this time, he was too lazy to use polite words. After saying something directly, he didn't even wait for Zeng Ziyun and other soldiers to react, and just turned around and ran away with a few of his personal guards.
Naturally, Luo Mazi and Master Sun would not fall behind and ran after Su Jiakang. However, when they ran back, Master Sun was a little confused. When did the people of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty become so numerous? There were hundreds of people in front of them.
There were hundreds more people on both sides, adding up to at least four to five hundred people.
The Ming army in the valley was in chaos at this moment, and they had no idea that what was blocking their path at the other end of the valley was not the bandits from Huangzhu Mountain, but the men and horses from Jiguan Mountain.
The men and horses from Jiguan Mountain did not come to attack the officers and soldiers, but came to pursue the people from Huangzhushan. Yesterday, the people from Huangzhushan quietly withdrew.
The leader in Jiguan Mountain who had been in contact with Master Sun was trying to persuade others to follow Huang Zhushan's troops and see if they could find Huang Zhushan's lair for revenge. Well, he also said that there was a lot of food in Huang Zhushan, so grab some.
It will be enough for them to live a prosperous new year.
Of course, he would never tell others that he was going to take the people from Jiguan Mountain to find the officers and soldiers, and then with the cooperation of the officers and soldiers, kill several other big bosses in Jiguan Mountain, and then he would lead the remaining troops.
By surrendering to the government, he would be able to get a position in a hundred households and no longer have to be a frightened bandit.
But he didn't expect that when he met the officers and soldiers, they would treat them as enemies. More importantly, the Huangzhushan troops also emerged from both sides to directly ambush the officers and soldiers.
This matter is a little messed up!
A group of bandits in Jiguan Mountain were confused, and the Ming army in the valley thought that the men and horses in Jiguan Mountain were also men and horses in Huangzhu Mountain, and wanted to besiege them on three sides. Now they were trying to evacuate the valley in a panic.
Only the Huangzhushan people led by Fang Dongquan and others have a clear goal. No matter how the people from Jiguanshan came here, the situation is so favorable for the Huangzhushan people now that they will never let go of this opportunity.
Therefore, in this strategic decisive battle in which the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty competed for the ownership of the world and determined the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, Qian Mengjiu, the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, came to the battle in person and played drums for the soldiers.
Chariot and Cavalry General Jun Dongquan, Yuwei General Chen Tufu, and Zhennan General Huang Xueren personally led their soldiers to charge!
More than two hundred Huangzhushan bandits fell like a heavy rain, covering the mountains and plains almost instantly.
Especially the more than 20 gangsters led by Butcher Chen were like sharp knives, like Xia Lei, violent and fast, piercing the ranks of the Ming army!
After Su Jiakang ordered to withdraw from the valley, he himself, along with a few personal guards and Master Sun, turned around and left first. Zeng Ziyun and the other generals behind him had not yet reacted, and a large number of soldiers also turned around and ran away with Su Jiankang.
Although the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain have not yet rushed down from the mountain, even Butcher Chen at the front had his butcher knife still dozens of meters away from the nearest Ming soldier.
But at this moment, the Ming army was already on the verge of collapse. Some impatient soldiers even abandoned everything that could affect their escape. They didn't want their baggage or the baggage they brought with them. As for armor, swords and guns, these heavy things
, was thrown down by them immediately, and then ran back quickly without any weight.
After all, these soldiers know very well that if you want to survive on the battlefield, especially on a collapsed battlefield, you don't need to run the fastest, but you just need to run faster than others.
The sudden escape of the Ming army also made Fang Dongquan and others a little stunned. Originally, they thought there would be a hard battle.
Qian Mengjiu even shouted the slogan "The rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, let's fight here", and even played the drums himself in order to boost morale.
But before the two sides could fight, the Ming army turned around and ran away.
You know, the number of the Ming army is twice that of theirs. Even if the Ming army does nothing and directly defends on the spot in the valley, it is one thing whether these bandits in Huangzhu Mountain can be eaten down.
But this is just Qian Mengjiu’s idea!
Everyone in Huangzhushan knew the whole story and knew that the people at the other end of the valley were from Jiguanshan, but the Ming army didn't know.
From the perspective of the Ming army, what they saw was that they were ambushed on three sides, and they were ambushed in a long and narrow valley.
If this is not done well, it will be blocked in the valley, and it is not impossible that the entire army will be annihilated in the end.
Their only thought now is to escape from the valley and save their lives!
The Ming army was also dissatisfied with the speed of their escape. In just a short time, most of the men and horses ran out of the valley. When Butcher Chen brandished his butcher knife and led more than 20 fierce bandits to rush down the valley, Ming
There are only sixty or seventy soldiers left in the valley.
These dozens of people were the first Ming soldiers to enter the valley, and were ordered by Zeng Ziyun to attack the Jiguanshan people on the other side of the valley. They were deep in the valley and could not escape in a short time.
After Butcher Chen rushed down, he ignored the large group of Ming troops who had escaped from the valley. Instead, he brandished a butcher's knife and rushed towards the remaining nearly a hundred Ming troops who were blocked in the valley.
Zeng Ziyun looked at Butcher Chen who was rushing towards him like a giant. He couldn't bear it anymore. His legs went weak and he couldn't stand. Fortunately, several soldiers beside him saw that the opportunity was not good and quickly supported him.
, this prevented him from paralyzing on the ground directly on the battlefield.
Zeng Ziyun, who barely continued to stand with the support of his own soldiers, was now pale and trembling. The exquisite waist knife finally lost its grip and fell directly to the ground. However, he didn't even look at it at this time.
He glanced at the long knife that his father left to him, but looked blankly at Butcher Chen and the more than 20 gangsters under his command who rushed over.
However, although Zeng Ziyun has completely lost the courage that a general should have, some of his soldiers are not that miserable.
Six or seven soldiers, led by a hundred households, guarded Zeng Ziyun's side. However, they drew their swords and looked around, but they were surrounded by enemy troops.
Although Fang Dongquan and Huang Xue were one step behind Butcher Chen, they also rushed down at this time. Naturally, it was absolutely impossible for these bandits to fight a tough battle, but when the Ming army collapsed before they could fight, it was impossible to fight such a smooth battle.
This is what they are extremely good at.
The two men each led a hundred men and surrounded Zeng Ziyun and his party from two sides. Many brave people had already followed Butcher Chen and the others and rushed forward to fight.
Of course, more people don't have the courage to rush forward and fight. They just jump around and try on the outside. Once the surrounded Ming army in front of them completely collapses, they will rush forward without hesitation.
"Sir, our brothers can no longer hold on, what should we do?" Just a few minutes later, a man from a household next to Zeng Ziyun asked with a panicked expression.
In just a few minutes, everyone in Huangzhushan, led by Chen Butcher and more than 20 fierce bandits, had killed and injured seven or eight people on the periphery of the Ming army. The remaining Ming army did not dare to resist at all, but continued to attack
The ground recedes and contracts.
Finally, the remaining sixty people gathered around Zeng Ziyun. Although there seemed to be a large number of people, everyone looked panicked.
At this time, the bandits in Huangzhushan shouted the slogan "Those who surrender will not be killed".
After hearing this, many people dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender, shouting words such as "Heroes spare their lives". As for surrender, if the first one happens, the second one will follow quickly.
If there is a group, there will be a big group.
In the blink of an eye, half of the more than sixty soldiers around Zeng Ziyun had surrendered!
Zeng Ziyun looked at the Huangzhushan bandits who were approaching, and at the soldiers under his command who kept kneeling down and surrendering, and there was only one thought left in his mind: "I will die too!"
But even if I die, I, Zeng Ziyun, cannot disgrace the Zeng family's family tradition and bring harm to the family.
Thinking of this, Zeng Ziyun looked sad and angry and said: "Now that our soldiers are trapped here, I will be killed in this world. It is not a crime of war!"
Then he grabbed the knife of the soldier next to him and pretended to cut his own neck.
However, before he grabbed the knife and wanted to wipe his neck, he shouted Xiang Yu's famous saying, "a crime other than war." After saying this, it was clear that he was going to kill himself, so he gave the soldiers around him enough time to react.
Immediately, the soldier beside him stretched out his hand and snatched the long knife from Zeng Ziyun's hand.
Another soldier beside him said: "Sir, you must not commit suicide!"
Zeng Ziyun wanted to continue grabbing the knife and commit suicide, but his hand was already firmly held by several soldiers around him. There was still a chance to grab the knife and commit suicide.
After struggling for a while, he suddenly stopped struggling. Then he sat down and stopped talking. He started to cry like a child. He was so sad that he made several soldiers around him cry.
Extremely embarrassed.
In this war, victory and defeat are common. If you lose, you will die, or you can surrender, but it doesn't matter if you cry!
Can Zeng Ziyun not cry now?
Just as he was struggling to grab the knife and kill himself, the remaining thirty or so ordinary soldiers around him had already surrendered en masse. Surrendering was much easier than running away. They just threw the knife away and knelt on the ground. It was considered complete.
A surrender ceremony was held.
Now, there are only five or six soldiers left around him!
At this time, a strong man eight feet tall came forward with a butcher's knife in his hand. He swung the butcher's knife in his hand and shouted: "The heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are here, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
