Just when Zhong Dewu felt that he could no longer raise his arms, could no longer wave the long knife in his hand, and was about to close his eyes and wait for death, he suddenly found that the thief army in front of him did not continue to rush, but suddenly cheered!

They must have thought that we were going to come down with us!

They must have thought they had won the battle!

So do you want to follow suit?

This question suddenly appeared in Zhong Dewu's mind, but he immediately ruled it out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If he was willing to surrender, he would have surrendered a long time ago, so why should he surrender at this time?

I lost my father when I was a child, my aunt raised me, and after my uncle came here as an official, he brought himself over and arranged for him to serve in the army, and now my uncle's whole family has been killed by these thieves in front of him, how can he surrender to the enemy?!

What's more, in this battle, I killed countless thieves, and these thieves in front of me saw it in their eyes, how could they get away with it if they fell?!

No one wants to die, but instead of surrendering and being singled out and killed, it is better to kill a few more thieves before death to avenge their uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters!

Thinking of this, Zhong Dewu was suddenly full of strength again, and his originally heavy arms seemed to have suddenly woken up from his sleep, and he instantly swung out a knife, slashing the young thief who was hesitating and didn't know if he should continue to step forward to the ground.

Zhong Dewu did not have the slightest mercy for these old and weak thieves, although he knew that many of them were forced to do so, but he still did not show the slightest mercy.

Another knife was slashed out, and Zhong Dewu shouted at the officers and soldiers who were following him amid the tide of cheers: "Brothers, rush with me!" Rush out one by one! We surrendered to the thieves, and there is absolutely no good end! Rush with me! ”

Among the people who followed Zhong Dewu's side, half of them were Shaanxi officers and soldiers, and half of them were soldiers who had escaped from Yongning Prefecture before, and the eyes of the previous killings were red, and among the people who could stand now, there were not a few thieves in their hands!

If you abandon your weapons and surrender, how can you be good?!

These fierce soldiers, who are accustomed to licking blood from the knife edge, have never had any friends to rely on except for the bow and knife in their hands!

The only thing you can trust is the long knife in your hand!

Zhong Dewu shouted, and the hundreds of officers and soldiers around him also seemed to wake up suddenly, and quickly gathered together, twisted into a rope, and rushed towards the hillside not far away with fewer people.

At this time, when he heard the shouts of surrender coming from the mountain road, Luo Rucai smiled and said to Wang Ziyong: "Prime Minister, the official army has surrendered!" If we continue to fight, it will only increase the casualties of our rebels, so let's let them surrender. A living general soldier is worth more than a dead general soldier! ”

"Good! Let's go and take the surrender! ”

Luo Rucai's words hit the king's own heart, and he agreed immediately, and then laughed.

Soon, the shouts of surrender and no killing were remembered around the mountain road.

Hearing the shouts of surrender and not killing, a stone in Li Xing's heart finally fell to the ground, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, kneel on the ground, surrender to save your life!" ”

After Li Xing finished saying this, the thousands of officers and soldiers who were still alive in this encirclement knelt down in hula, put the swords in their hands on the ground, and accepted their fate one by one with a depressed expression.

Zhang Guoxing, who was held by Li Xing with a knife to his neck, closed his eyes, did not kneel, and did not speak.

As the largest group of officers surrendered on their knees, the thieves throughout the valley cheered.

Not because their morale is high, but because they don't have to be forced to die anymore.

The old thieves who came from Shaanxi are now the backbone of the chaotic people, and they have all become leaders, and they have not five hundred minions under them, but also three hundred, so naturally they can't rush to the front to fight hard.

Therefore, the desperate things were left to these thieves and rebels who had newly joined in Shanxi.

Most of these people are forced to obey the thieves, because if they don't obey, they will die, so they have no choice but to rush forward.

At this time, when I learned that the official army had surrendered, there was no need to go forward with rudimentary weapons to fight, of course, everyone cheered.

After the largest group of officers and troops in the innermost part of the encirclement surrendered, several small groups of officers and troops who were divided and surrounded in the vicinity also surrendered one after another.

All the thieves thought the tide was over.

However, in the outermost layer of the entire encirclement, there were still people rushing to kill, and in the whole celebratory atmosphere, although they did not attract much attention, these people were not in vain.

Seeing that taking advantage of the opportunity of the thieves to celebrate their victory, they were taken by surprise and rushed to the very edge of the encirclement, Zhong Dewu used his last strength and ran into the depths of the mountains and forests.

As he ran, he slashed at the thieves who were rushing from the vicinity, shouting, "Brothers, rush into the woods, and we will live!" ”

The hundreds of people behind him all wanted to survive, but not all of them could rush into the woods on the mountain range.

Although the thieves in this place are located on the periphery, they are sparsely distributed and not as densely distributed as in other places, but the reason is that the mountains here are steep, and there are not so many people and horses.

The difficulty caused by the steep mountain to this group of officers and soldiers who broke through was that even in the face of the sparse thief army, not everyone could climb the mountain and escape into the forest.

The original team of three or four hundred people rushed all the way, and when they finally came to the edge of the woodland, there were only more than 100 people left.

Among them, the besieging thieves were hacked to death, some were shot by the pursuing thieves, and many more chose to surrender on their knees in despair.

Fortunately, Zhong Dewu escaped all this misfortune, except for the blood of his body, and finally rushed into the forest on the ridge unscathed.

When Luo Rucai went to the bottom of the mountain forest to give the order to surrender, he suddenly turned around and found that there was a small group of officers and soldiers desperately fleeing to the mountain in the distance, and immediately ordered the onlookers to turn around and chase after the surrendered thief army.

However, at this time, the thief army was numerous, and it was inconvenient to transfer the command, and the leader of the thief army beside Luo Rucai heard the order and knew what was going on, but not everyone in the peripheral thief army in the distance knew what was going on.

Many people were still calling to come down the mountain to grab the swords, guns, bows and arrows, armor, and even the clothes and shoes of the officers and soldiers who had surrendered on their knees.

Of course, they also had silver dollars and all the things of value.

Seeing this, Luo Rucai also had no choice but to stomp his feet, so he had to let the 180 people flee to the depths of the mountains and forests to the west.

Although some of the officers and soldiers escaped from the ambush circle of the thieves, it did not affect the good mood of Wang Ziyong in the slightest.

Because in his opinion, it is all inevitable.

After all, in his own career as a thief, how many times have he escaped from the encirclement and pursuit of the official army at the critical moment, and even the border army in Yansui Town can't do it against his own righteous army, and now the feng shui is turning, and it is the turn of the righteous army to ambush the official army, how can it be foolproof and completely leaky?

Moreover, he was overjoyed to be able to achieve such a big victory today.

If it weren't for Luo Rucai's vigorous encouragement of him to engage in such an ambush to lure the enemy, he would never have thought that he would be able to achieve such a big victory from the hands of the official army.

Not to mention that now that the chief soldier of the imperial court has been captured alive, even if the head of the battalion has captured a guerrilla attack of the official army before, it can make them the thieves brag about it for a while.
