Chapter 349: The only death through hardships through the ages [3 more]
In everyone's opinion, Zhou Boye and Zhou Boling are relatives. Now that Zhou Boling has fallen into Wang Shouren's hands, under normal circumstances, Zhou Boye must have led his troops back to rescue Zhou Boling.
However, unexpectedly, the pale Zhou Boye couldn't help but glared at everyone and said: "I don't think I need to tell you how powerful my brother is. You should know that even my brother is not the opponent of Wang Shouren. Who of you can guarantee that you can stop him?"
Wang Shouren?"
When a general heard this, he couldn't help but said: "But there are so many of us. When the time comes, we only need a large army to surround us. Are we still afraid of Wang Shouren?"
Zhou Boye sneered, pointed at the messy and panic-stricken soldiers behind him and said, "Is it just these rabble?"
Even if they didn't want to admit it, they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads when they saw the panicked look of those messy soldiers.
It is true that these soldiers cannot hold up the wall. Usually relying on the strength of numbers, there may be no problem in fighting a smooth battle, but now the defeat of Zhou Boling and others has already made these soldiers panic, let alone let alone
They crossed the river to deal with the Shangguan army. They were afraid that the soldiers would collapse as soon as they encountered the Shangguan army.
Seeing everyone with their heads lowered, Zhou Boye glanced at Wang Shouren on the other side, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
"Walk?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment subconsciously and looked at Zhou Boye in confusion.
I heard Zhou Boye say: "Why, if you don't leave, will you stay here and wait to die?"
Here Wang Shouren assigned some of his men to guard and collect the weapons, while he drove his horse to the edge of the small river, looking at Zhou Boye and others across the small river which was less than two feet away.
Seeing Wang Shouren's actions, Zhou Boye and others subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Wang Shouren with a bit of fear.
Wang Shouren snorted coldly and said: "If you don't surrender quickly, I may report it to Your Majesty and find a way for you to survive. If not, your family will be confiscated and exterminated!"
Many people's expressions became extremely ugly when they heard this. If you rebel, you will have to pay a price. If you succeed, you will naturally be rich and prosperous. But if you fail, the nine tribes will be killed.
Not long ago, they all dreamed of following King Ning to achieve great success, and in the future they would also be able to follow the dragon's merits and strive for glory and wealth.
As a result, Wang Shouren woke them up from their sweet dreams with a blow to the head.
Zhou Boye took a deep breath, stared at Wang Shouren and said: "Wang Shouren, you said it nicely. If we rebel, even if we surrender, the emperor will never spare us. You don't need to waste your words, the mountain will not turn."
When the water turns, the next time we meet, I, Zhou Boye, will kill you to avenge my brother!"
After leaving a few heroic words, Zhou Boye turned around and left.
Seeing this, the other generals didn't dare to stay, and followed Zhou Boye. Naturally, the troops ran faster than the other, and even managed to escape hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
Wang Shouren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw this situation. He originally thought that a battle was inevitable, but he didn't expect that the other party was so cowardly and didn't even have the courage to fight. Thousands of troops ran away.
At some point, Wang Wu, who was standing behind Wang Shouren with some of the imperial soldiers and horses, opened his mouth wide and looked at the rebels running away on the other side and couldn't help but said: "Sir, are we... are we victorious?"
Wang Shouren slowly turned around, smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, we have won!"
"Victory!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Ming Dynasty, may your lord be victorious!"
All the soldiers felt like they were in a dream. After all, there were only two thousand of them, and the rebels numbered tens of thousands. When they followed Wang Shouren out of the city, they never thought that they could defeat the rebels. Their only thought was to save their lives.
Just fine.
As a result, in just half a day, Wang Shouren led them to successfully ambush the rebels, and even captured the rebel general Zhou Boling alive, scaring away thousands of rebels. If word of this spread, it would definitely cause a sensation.
Looking at the small river, and then looking at the rebels retreating away, Wang Shouren's eyes showed a bit of regret. If there was no such small river, just the situation of the rebels, he would only have to lead the army to rush forward.
It was enough to overwhelm the remaining rebels.
These rebels had already been demoralized and were only one step away from collapse, but that small river stopped them in their tracks.
A mere small river cannot stop Wang Shouren, but what's the use if Wang Shouren can cross the river alone? He may be able to kill some generals, but it is not that easy to surrender thousands of rebels.
After gathering their minds and cleaning up the battlefield, they escorted thousands of rebel prisoners and, bathing in the sunset, Wang Shouren and others headed straight for Ji'an County.
It is said that after Wang Shouren left Ji'an County, the gates of Ji'an County were closed.
The city gate was closed, and as the governor, Chen Tai watched uneasily from a distance on top of the city gate tower, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
Chen Tai's thoughts were racing, and he even regretted that he should not have let Wang Shouren leave the city. If so, they only had to defend the city here, and maybe Wang Shouren would not have died.
Obviously, in Chen Tai's view, Wang Shouren could not be the opponent of the rebels at all. It had been more than half a day. It was supposed that the rebels should have arrived at the city by now, but the rebels did not appear. The only possibility
That's when he met Wang Shouren.
As for whether Wang Shouren could defeat the rebels, to be honest, no one, including Chen Tai, Mao Yuan and other officials, believed it.
Two thousand officers and soldiers faced off against more than 10,000 rebels, especially since the rebels were in full swing. It can be said that all officials were not optimistic about Wang Shouren and believed that Wang Shouren's departure from the city would be unlucky.
Noticing the change in Chen Tai's expression, Mao Yuan stood beside Chen Tai and comforted Chen Tai and said: "Sir Chen, Mr. Wang is dedicated to serving the country. This fight to the death can be said to be a benevolence. We must respect Mr. Wang's choice!"
Chen Tai sighed softly and said: "I am really ashamed of my old friend Wang Hua, but I watched a son like him die before my eyes. I am really ashamed of my old friend!"
Mao Yuan sighed softly and said: "My lord, please take care of yourself. I think if Wang Shangshu knew about it, he would definitely not blame Lord Chen."
While they were talking here, they saw Wang Yuanlong, the captain of Ji'an County, exclaimed on the city gate floor: "Masters, look!"
Although the night was hazy, at this moment, a dark figure could be seen from a distance running toward Ji'an County.
Just looking at the dark area, there are at least thousands of people, and the number of people is not large at all.
Seeing those dark figures, the expressions of everyone on the city gate tower changed drastically.
These rebels did not show up, but they still held on to some extravagant hope in their hearts, just in case...in case Wang Shouren stopped the rebels.
But now everyone has completely given up any hope. With so many people rushing towards Ji'an County, it goes without saying that the rebels must have come to kill them.
Since the rebels are heading towards Ji'an County, do you still need to think about what will happen to Wang Shouren and the two thousand officers and soldiers?
Mao Yuan's face turned a little pale, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Tai when he saw the slowly approaching figure.
Chen Tai is not much better than Mao Yuan, but Chen Tai is also a governor after all. No matter what he thinks, at least he will not lose his identity and face in front of a crowd. He took a deep breath and looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone
, the imperial reinforcements must have been on their way, what we have to do is to defend the city and wait for the reinforcements. If the city is defeated...then everyone should serve the country!"
Many people's faces became quite ugly. After all, death is the only option in all the hardships. It sounds good to die to serve the court, but how many people can face life and death calmly?
Chen Tai looked at Wang Yuanlong and said: "Captain Wang, there are still nearly 4,000 troops in the city. You should immediately send an order to divide the troops into two groups to defend the city. No matter what, the rebels cannot break the city!"
Wang Yuanlong took a deep breath, bowed his hands and said, "I obey my orders!"
Among the army, Wang Shouren looked at Ji'an County in front of him and was filled with emotion. When he left the city during the day, even he never thought that his trip would go so smoothly.
If I really want to say it, I can only say that the rebels are too weak. As the commander-in-chief, Zhou Boling didn't even have the slightest sense of defense.
If Zhou Boling is vigilant enough and sends more of them to search around, then they will definitely be able to discover their ambush. By then, it will not be an ambush scene, but a head-on confrontation between the two parties.
Although the rebels can indeed be said to be a ragtag group, even if they are a ragtag group, they still number in the tens of thousands. If they really fight, the rebels will have a psychological advantage by relying on their numbers.
The superiority crushed the officers and soldiers under his command.
After all, the officers and soldiers under him are actually only slightly better than the rebels. If they really fight to the death, Wang Shouren dares to say that there is a high possibility that the officers and soldiers under him will be defeated.
Looking at Zhou Boling who was tied up like a rice dumpling, Wang Shouren could only say that it was true that one general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies. If it were the young general named Miao Qi, the only choice he could make was to die and serve.
The emperor.
Miao Qi was beaten to death for admonishing Zhou Boling, and was even almost hacked to death by Zhou Boling. Naturally, he couldn't escape with his injuries among the rebels, so he was arrested together.
Someone identified Miao Qi as a rebel general, so Wang Shouren couldn't help but feel happy after knowing that Miao Qi advised Zhou Boling to prepare for an attack before crossing the river and was beaten.
The army marched not far from Ji'an County. Wang Wu rode forward quickly and shouted loudly at the foot of the city tower: "My lords, your lords have defeated the rebels and returned victorious. Please open the city gate..."
"Shoot this shameless man who surrendered to the rebels!"
