Zhang Lexing also looked at the Qing army who knelt down and surrendered in the distance, and the beleaguegs who slowly marched in to besiege the Qing army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed everything in front of him! The Qing army, which was able to repel the tens of thousands of twisters led by him, was easily defeated like a chicken, a tile, and a dog. Moreover, it seems that this group of captives from the south was completely victorious, without a single casualty.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing gasped! Since ancient times, they have killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 themselves. He had never heard of such an army that could annihilate the enemy and be unscathed.

"Alliance leader, I think, it's better to get in touch with this gang of beggars and see what they have to say. If you can't provoke, it's better not to provoke! Chief Red Banner Lord Hou Shiwei obviously began to feel weak, and said fearfully.

Su Tianfu, the chief black flag master, habitually wanted to express his opposition, but when he opened his mouth, he was deflated, but he became: "Alliance leader, otherwise, let's accept their canonization first, but not accept their dispatch and orders." After all, they are foreign forces, and the area around northern Anhui is not a very important place, they will always leave, and when the time comes, it will still be our world. ”

Gong Deshu, the chief white flag master, also looked at Zhang Lexing with a blank eye, and the fear in his eyes had not subsided.

Zhang Lexing knew that his chief flag masters were all shocked by the other party's forces, and they didn't dare to have a heart of confrontation. Also, not long after the newly formed alliance of his own cadres, the power is also in the area of Mengcheng in this millizhou, and it has not developed far, although it is claimed to be tens of thousands of horses, but it is less than 20,000 people, and it is five flags scattered and arranged.

And the other party's captive army, this is only one of the troops, I heard that the other party's three or four such forces captured Beijing City, a total of dozens of such troops, if these forces have such combat power, this is indeed not their own twisters can resist.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing nodded helplessly and said, "I will send someone to their camp to find out their bottom line." Now, let's go back and talk about it. ”

After speaking, he led the people and just wanted to retreat on horseback, when suddenly, more than 100 horsemen appeared from the northeast and southeast, and blocked the riverbank where they were hiding. They watched the battle so engrossedly that they were unconsciously besieged by the other party.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

Gong Deshu shouted repeatedly: "Alliance leader, let's rush out!" But Hou Shiwei said: "The other party is just besieging and not attacking, so it is better to send someone to negotiate." If you break through directly, I'm afraid there will be losses. ”

Zhang Lexing's face was gloomy, he never expected that he was just watching the other party attacking the city on the other side of the river, but he was actually besieged, and he didn't realize it, which made him very frustrated.

"Don't rush yet, don't they just want us to surrender, Zhang decided, so he led his brothers to join them!" Zhang Lexing suddenly decided: "Let's go, let them take it to meet the person surnamed Peng." ”

Su Tianfu and the others were relieved, they were actually really afraid that Zhang Lexing would decide to break through. You know, what they just saw with their own eyes is that the muskets in the hands of those begging soldiers can shoot Qing soldiers a hundred paces away, and it is chilling to think about it.

Soon, Zhang Lexing sent a Huang Qiqi beside him to advocate Zong Yu to negotiate and clarify his identity, saying that he was going to meet their leader surnamed Peng, and the other party promised to take everyone to the meeting.

Zhang Lexing rode dozens of times, crossed the river, and walked along the east gate to Mizhou City. As soon as I entered the distance from the city, I found that there were corpses scattered everywhere on the wasteland, few of them had severed limbs and legs, most of them were lead bullets, and there was a pungent smell of fire and gunpowder at the scene.

Hundreds of captured soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and confiscating their belongings and weapons.

Zhang Lexing and the others were in a heavy mood and carefully followed the captives into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he found a middle-aged general in his forties wearing a gray uniform, surrounded by dozens of soldiers who were also wearing gray uniforms, striding towards everyone to meet them.

"Report to the division commander, Cheng Ying, the platoon commander of the second company and the third platoon of the reconnaissance battalion of the division headquarters of the seventh division, bring Zhang Mengzhu, the leader of the twisters, and others! Please instruct! One of their beggars stepped forward quickly, gave a strange military salute respectfully, and reported loudly.

"Disbanded on the spot!" The middle-aged general also returned a standard military salute.

Only then did Zhang Lexing understand that this middle-aged general was the target he wanted to meet, the leader of this army, called Peng Yulin's division commander.

When he was hesitating and didn't know how to greet this surnamed Peng, the other party took the initiative to bow and salute: "Peng Yulin, the commander of the Seventh Division of the Chinese Empire's Capture Army, has seen Zhang Mengzhu and all the general flag masters!" ”

Peng Yulin's kind attitude made everyone feel like a spring breeze, and they didn't feel that they were coming to return, as if they were visiting old friends.

Zhang Lexing's heart was slightly calm, it seemed that this surnamed Peng was not so difficult to deal with, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and hugged his fists and said: "The Five Banners of Northern Anhui Twist Alliance advocates Lexing, and led the brothers to see Master Peng. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, but the other party didn't mention the matter of attachment at all, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but feel a little uncertain, and secretly anxious. At this time, a messenger of the captive army flew in, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he said loudly: "Chen Jiemei, the prefect of the Guide Prefecture, sent someone to report, asking for the annexation of our Chinese Empire, and I am willing to do internal response!" There are still 4,000 soldiers with full banners and eight banners stationed in the city of Defu, and the division commander is asked to send troops quickly to defeat them! ”

Peng Yulin took the letter in the messenger's hand, read it quickly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Master Zhang, Peng is entangled in military affairs." This Guide Prefecture prefect is quite interesting, and he took the initiative to vote, and tomorrow Peng will lead the soldiers of the Seventh Division to Guide Mansion to recover Guide. In this way, the entire 14 state capitals of southern Henan will all be under the rule of our Chinese Empire. ”

"This time, Peng's task is to occupy the Guide Mansion in Henan, and the B 3rd Division and the B 6th Division that attacked the Huai'an Mansion in Susu will attack the Xuzhou Division, these newly occupied places such as Chenzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion still need to be garrisoned, but the troops are insufficient, I don't know if the Lord Zhang is willing to help me?"

Zhang Lexing was taken aback, and after thinking about it carefully, this messenger did enter from outside the city, panting, and it didn't seem to be a fake, and this surnamed Peng was even more relaxed, not like a drama at all. In this way, the prefect of Guide is really ready to submit to them, and the meaning of his words seems to be that the entire Henan has attached to the Chinese Empire he said, and moreover, from the east of the Su, has also hit Huai'an Mansion, and then will meet Xuzhou, wouldn't that be it, surround the entire Anman?

This, the strategy of this captive army is too amazing!

If this is the case, I originally thought that I would take advantage of them to fight the Qing army first and occupy the area around Mengcheng in Haozhou as my own territory, but now that I think about it, it is really a little ridiculous.

Zhang Lexing looked at Hou Shiwei and the others next to him, all of them were amazed, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Master Peng commanded, Zhang is naturally willing to serve!" I don't know how you will place Zhang's subordinates? ”

Peng Yulin smiled and said categorically: "If you are willing to be the banner master of your alliance or above, all of them will be transferred to the officers of my captive army, and the rest of the people will only be left with 2,000 people and merged into our captive army, and the rest will be abolished, and then re-recruited by our army in accordance with the principle of voluntariness." ”

Zhang Lexing's face changed, this smiling tiger surnamed Peng seemed to be smiling, but his tone did not leave any leeway, only allowing himself to retain 2,000 people, and he still had to be incorporated into his army to obey the dispatch, and the rest of the twisted brothers were all scattered and recruited by them again, and this completely became his people.

However, it seems that he has no choice.

He looked at the other three general flag owners next to him and his cronies Zong Yu, only to see that they all bowed their heads and were silent, and no one spoke against it.

Zhang Lexing sighed secretly in his heart, just don't cause conflicts, let his brothers die in vain, put away his little ambitions, and lead his subordinates to surrender to them.

So, Zhang Lexing nodded and said, "I also hope that Master Peng will take in Zhang and his brothers!" ”
