Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 328: Bing to Xingquan

Song Zhiwen ran away, even if he was forcibly taken away by his personal guards, but in any case, he left his army and fled again.

The remnants of the 500 Ming army who were fighting hard to break through the siege of the pseudo-Tang thieves saw that Song Zhiwen had all run away, and there was still fighting spirit there.

Even desperate courage is completely lost, fleeing quickly, surrendering surrender!

If you can escape with your life, it is naturally the best, if you can't escape then surrender!

Anyway, the surrender of the Ming army to the pseudo-Tang bandit army has almost become a tradition. Every time the Ming army is defeated, there will always be a large number of Ming troops surrendering to the pseudo-Tang bandit army.

And many soldiers of the Ming army have heard many rumors, saying that the pseudo-Tang thieves will not treat these Ming army surrendering soldiers too harshly!

Many soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered in the past will be transformed into pseudo-Tang thieves!

If you are a soldier and eat food, you shouldn't be there, not to mention that they are not middle and high-ranking generals of the Ming army. You don't have to worry about your family being implicated. There is no psychological pressure to surrender to the bandit army.

This shows the benefits of the Datang New Army's good treatment of prisoners!

If Li Xuan played tricks like slaughtering prisoners of war every time, or the coolie who took all these prisoners as slaves, when the Ming army knew that there was no hope of life, many people would choose to fight to the death. After all, no one Don't want to die is not.

But they can still live well after surrendering, why do they resist desperately?

After the remnants of the Five Hundred Ming Army completely collapsed, the defenders in the city who had planned to come out to meet Song Zhiwen saw this, but they dared to stay there, and immediately turned around and returned to the city.

When they returned to the city, the Tang army tried to chase and even rushed into the city. If it wasn't for a rush, when the Ming army above the city shot a large number of arrows to block it, maybe the Tang army had already entered the city. .

However, Hao Bainian didn't feel frustrated when he failed to enter Xingquan Mansion City through chaos. After all, his mission was not to take risks and invade the city now. His mission was simple and clear, that is, to prevent the main force of the Ming army from returning to the city. The Tang army, which was chasing from the rear, inflicted heavy losses and even defeated the main force of the Ming army.

But now, after annihilating these 500 people, Hao Bainian did not send anyone to pursue Song Zhiwen. On the one hand, he lacked cavalry troops, and there were only a dozen scout cavalry with him across the river. These scout cavalry now They were all scattered outside to investigate intelligence and could not be assembled to pursue Song Zhiwen.

Besides, even if someone is sent, it is still unknown whether they can catch up.

The cavalry of the new army of the Tang Dynasty has always been a weak point. Although their cavalry team is called a cavalry team, they can only be regarded as mounted infantry. Many cavalry are only rough riding skills and cannot fight on a horse at all.

Song Zhiwen's personal soldiers are naturally not ordinary soldiers, they are skilled in horsemanship and excellent in martial arts.

Anyway, although Song Zhiwen is a high-ranking official, from a military point of view, he is also insignificant, and his escape alone cannot affect the overall situation.

After gathering the captives and simply cleaning the battlefield, Hao Bainian led the troops stationed outside the city of Xingquan, and waited for the Ming army to come.

There were quite a few Ming troops retreating from the Lanjiang Ferry, far more than these five hundred, and there must be more Ming troops behind.

But he didn't know that the guards and young men who were left behind by Song Zhiwen were not physically fit, and in the afternoon, the third infantry battalion was about to be chased by the Tang army.

After losing Song Zhiwen's backbone, the Ming army generals in the rear had no intention of resisting at all, and could only throw away those Ming army who could not run again and again.

As a result, there is a very embarrassing situation!

The Tang army chasing from the rear caught up with a group of tired and exhausted Ming troops from time to time. These Ming troops did not even resist when they saw the pseudo-Tang bandit army catching up. They either scattered or surrendered on the spot.

So that the third infantry battalion did not fight a few times along the way, but a lot of prisoners were captured.

Capturing these prisoners even slowed down the pursuit of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, making Wang Danxu of the 3rd Infantry Battalion quite depressed.

When they chased the Ming army all the way to the foot of Xingquan Mansion, there were only more than 200 people left in the third infantry battalion, because they had to send troops to gather the prisoners along the way and hand them over to the rear garrison battalion and other troops. Hurry again.

However, there were fewer and fewer Ming troops ahead, and by the time they arrived near Xingquan Mansion, there were less than a thousand people left.

What made them even more desperate was that they managed to run outside the city of Xingquan Mansion, but there was a Tang army waiting for them in front of them.

At this moment, despair is a portrayal of the mood of these Ming soldiers!

beat? Naturally, he did not dare to fight, and the only option was to continue to escape.

But after they had been running all day, they couldn't run fast at all, and Wang Danxu behind them couldn't catch up, but after resting on the spot for an hour, Hao Bainian's team, whose physical fitness had recovered to some extent, was able to catch up with them.

After a pursuit battle in the evening~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the Ming army with less than a thousand people completely disappeared on the field. A small part of them were killed and wounded, some became prisoners, and more Then they scattered and ran to an unknown place.

A skirmisher who loses his organization and only knows how to take care of himself and run for his own life is much harder to catch than a pig.

However, when Li Xuan arrived outside Xingquan Mansion at night, the army of 10,000 people that Song Zhiwen had assembled in the past few months had completely disappeared without a trace.

Only the hundreds of Ming troops and many young men in Xingquan City were shivering!

After arriving outside Xingquan Mansion, Li Xuan immediately met with Hao Bainian, Wang Danxu, Li Chunjing, Huang Xueren and other generals, and listened to their reports on the war since last night.

After a brief post-war summary, Li Xuan left the meeting and let everyone go back to rest. Everyone has been fighting hard all day, and they are already exhausted. Tomorrow, they will attack Xingquan City. What if you don't have enough energy?

That night, more than 3,000 people of the new army of the Tang Dynasty were stationed and rested outside the city of Xingquan Mansion, but the city of Xingquan Mansion was full of panic, the officials were uneasy, the gentry were also extremely fearful, and even ordinary citizens could not sleep well.

Because they all know that the pseudo-Tang bandit army has already arrived outside the city, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, they will attack the city in a big way.

At that time, with the help of hundreds of regular troops in the city and a group of young men, can they stop the pseudo-Tang bandit army outside the city?

They don't have faith, they don't believe!

The army of 10,000 people led by Song Zhiwen himself was defeated by the pseudo-Tang thief army. How could they stop the pseudo-Tang thief army with this amount of troops in the city?

When people are in panic, there will naturally be thoughts that people should not have, such as opening the city gate and surrendering! ()
