Zhang Xianzhong was in a dilemma, so he simply didn't use his brain, and said: "No matter what, let's take a look at it in the second half of the night." ”

After saying that, he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and dozed off.

At this moment, the shouts of the "Red Flag Army" pacification officer came from outside the village: "Listen to Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, you have been surrounded by regiments, and you will definitely not be able to escape, if you want to live, quickly disarm and walk out with your head in your hands, and the 'Red Flag Army' will not kill prisoners." ”

"You don't have to be lucky, the more and more soldiers of my 'Red Banner Army' gather, you can't escape, only surrender is the only way to survive, and stubbornly resist the end of the road."

In order to better break the enemy's will to resist, the pacification officer selected some rogue who were captured on the way to shout and persuade them to surrender.

The rogues who were left behind were very hard to learn that they could be lenient when they performed well, and that those who performed well could become auxiliary soldiers with monthly salaries.

"Brothers, I am Zhang Cunliang, the second stunned son of the seventh team under the command of the Eight Kings, and now I have surrendered to the 'Red Flag Army', there are many brothers who have surrendered, thousands of them, we have not been beaten and scolded, and we have eaten cooking cakes."

"Eight kings, I am Luo Qiusheng, the captain under the command of Luo Rucai, Luo has surrendered, Liu Guoneng has also surrendered, none of them have been killed by the 'Red Flag Army', the little one advises you to surrender early!"

"Brothers, continuing to be a thief will eventually lead to a dead end, let's come down!" The Red Banner Army' guarantees that everyone has a way to live and can eat to their heart's content! ”

……

Often the fortress is breached from the inside, and the use of surrendered horse thieves to persuade them to surrender is more resonant and effective.

Many hardcore old thieves were moved, and they whispered in the dark, and most of them were worried that there would be too many bloody cases in their hands, and that it would be even more difficult to hide from the world and cross the shipwreck, and they were afraid that they would also be exposed after surrendering to correct the Fa.

Zhang Xianzhong, who closed his eyes and went to sleep, actually couldn't sleep at all, he kept listening with his ears pricked up, and he knew that the persuasion of the "Red Flag Army" would break the army's morale, but he could not do anything.

Zhang Dingguo still couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't speak, hurry up and sleep, after you have enough spirits, the eight kings will rush out with everyone!" ”

How could the "Red Banner Army" let the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's troops sleep soundly, and organized one or two hundred rogues to be persuaded to surrender by the suppressor with shouts, and they did not stop for a moment.

The increasing number of men and horses is not a bluff, and indeed many people and horses have come one after another, including Hanzi and about half of the cavalry under his command, and by midnight, the number of cavalry surrounding the village has approached 5,000.

None of them were nervous enough to sleep peacefully, and they all listened with their ears pricked up, and at least half of them had the intention of surrendering, and they were all peeking at the Eight Kings and several of his righteous sons.

Just after the third watch, Zhang Xianzhong, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, stood up and commanded in a low voice: "Brothers, the time is almost up, tidy up the armor, check the weapons, and the war horses, let's concentrate our forces and rush out from the south of the village." ”

The village was dark and rumbling, but outside it was as bright as day, and more than a hundred roaring fires crackled with the sound of wood bursting, and hundreds of rogue prisoners appeared near the fire, shouting and exhorting them to surrender as they gathered wood to add to the fire.

In the dark, at least a few hundred mini gunmen were closely watching the movements in the village, and one or two hundred military dogs were crawling nearby.

Most of the brains that can mix with the old camp horse thieves are relatively easy to use, and at least a small and half of the thieves did not pay attention to Zhang Xianzhong's assembly order, they all found a hiding place to hide in the dark, and wanted to wait for the eight kings to appear and surrender after rushing out with their men and horses.

Zhang Xianzhong saw that there were only 100 people in the queue, so he didn't get angry, and raised his voice slightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Lao Tzu doesn't force it, but all the war horses and Lao Tzu have to pull them away." ”

This person is a generation of heroes, and he understands that at such a time, sending henchmen to coerce those who have already given birth to two hearts will be counterproductive, and it is very likely that they will cause fire and fight with their own people.

So, he endured it, which was equivalent to agreeing to stay free.

Seeing that there were fewer followers, Zhang Kewang, who was active, was even more shaken.

He still doesn't give up, and he still wants to persuade again, wanting Zhang Xianzhong to lay down his arms and choose to surrender.

He said: "Father-in-law, I'm afraid there are thousands of 'Red Banner Army' outside, and we are only a hundred horsemen now, just rushing out like this, it's no different from looking for death!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said stiffly: "Haven't you heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Don't you know the story of the Battle of Wet Whiskers, Gan Ning's Hundred Cavalry Breaking Cao Ying?

Our 100 men and horses are well-equipped, and all of them are people who have survived a hundred battles, and it will not be a problem to break through the camp of the 'Red Banner Army'. ”

After living under Zhang Xianzhong's obscenity for ten years, Zhang Kewang knew this murderous demon too well, although he didn't think much of this strong word, but he was afraid of being cut off on the spot, so he quickly shut up.

Zhang Kewang in history is Sun Kewang, the king of Qin in the Southern Ming Dynasty, this person is treacherous and vicious no less than Zhang Xianzhong, and finally became a big traitor, the righteous king of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

He is a few years older than Zhang Dingguo, and his personality is completely different from Zhang Dingguo, more like Zhang Xianzhong, cruel, selfish, narrow-minded and without foresight, more greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zhang Dingguo, who was holding a steel shield in his left hand and wielding a ghost head knife in his right hand, said fiercely:

"Father-in-law order, let's do our best, even if we can't rush out, we have to let the 'Red Flag Army' know that there are many brave and good men in our righteous army."

Zhang Xianzhong cheered up and turned on the horse, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Kewang and others also got on the horse, these 100 people are indeed outlaws, they are all ready to fight at this time, it's just a big deal!

Unfortunately, at this moment, there was a sharp sound of breaking the sky, and dozens of fireworks exploded in the sky in an instant.

This kind of fireworks is not the colorful kind, but bright white, which is equivalent to flares, but the brightness is limited, and the lack of quality must be compensated for by quantity.

Gu Jixiang had been observing from a high ground, and after spotting the movement in the village, he ordered the firing of flares, and ordered the Minnie gunners who were in ambush to use the short light to shoot the rogues in their field of vision.

Zhang Xianzhong and the others had just mounted their horses and had not yet started, and more than 100 Mini gunners who were ambushed in the south of the village opened fire one after another, and at a distance of less than 200 paces, the Minnie gunners were very accurate, and at least twenty or thirty Liukou immediately fell off their horses.

Zhang Xianzhong, the thief, secretly screamed when he found that the fireworks exploded, so he slid off his war horse as soon as he rolled, and he was able to dodge at least ten mini bullets that came from him.

Zhang Kewang, who was in a mess, looked left and right, and he still wanted to make his father-in-law give up the suicide-like breakthrough action without angering his father-in-law, but he didn't have time to react, and was hit by three Minnie bullets and died on the spot.
