The armor soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward and beat the central front of the Qing army, which seemed a little dazed, to retreat, and almost all the Qing soldiers who refused to retreat were besieged and killed. The Qing troops on both flanks were not much stronger than their counterparts in the center, and after a day and a night of hard work, these Shanxi soldiers were given two hours of rest, and many of them had not had a hot meal for more than a dozen hours, and it was a long time ago that they even ate dry food.

The weak Qing army was certainly not the opponent of the Ming army, and after seeing the Qing army's battle line quickly repulsed, even if he did not have a lot of military experience, Sun Sike understood that the defeat was decided.

"The green camp is really useless, once a thief has been encountered for more than ten years, he only knows to call the Manchurian soldiers to save them, and beg for reinforcements all day long, and now when he sees a thief, he is like seeing a grandfather, and he is so scared that his hands and feet are weak." Sun Sike knew that he couldn't do anything, and said angrily: "Let's go back and have a full meal first, and then fight with Deng Thief in the next day." ”

With extreme contempt for the incompetent Green Battalion, Sun Sike ordered the Eight Banners to retreat immediately.

"Withdraw troops." Yuan Jia's deputy capital did not order Mingjin, but asked Niu Lu to inform his subordinates: "If you can't carry the armor or something, throw it away, let's go back to Chongqing and let Governor Li compensate us." ”

When he saw the Eight Banners soldiers in the rear of the enemy army beginning to retreat calmly, Deng Ming sighed softly, shook his head and did not speak.

Deng Ming wanted to attack the Eight Banners, because it would definitely greatly boost the morale of the Ming army and eliminate the Ming army's fear of the bannermen; The last time he encountered the Manchurian Eight Banners in Chongqing, although there were only so few banner soldiers, it could make the Sichuan army uneasy, and Yuan Zongdi's subordinates were even more frightened. Now in Deng Ming's army, the fear of the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Gaoyou Lake has basically disappeared, but others still have doubts, after all, these soldiers have grown up since they were children and have always heard that the Eight Banners are invincible. Only by defeating the Eight Banners again and again, and allowing every Tongxiu in Chengdu to hear the story of victory from their familiar neighbors, can the fear of the Eight Banners finally be relieved of the Chengdu people's fear of the Eight Banners.

However, the terrain around the battlefield is really difficult to pursue, there are not many roads that can accommodate hundreds of soldiers, and the only roads have been blocked by the infantry of the Ming and Qing armies. It is also impossible to encircle a large army in a roundabout way, in this kind of terrain full of hills and woods, it is easy for the whole battalion to get in, and it is difficult to say whether it will be able to maintain its formation when it comes out, and it will take a lot of time to reorganize to restore order.

Sun Sike drove all the unarmored soldiers to the north before the battle, and Deng Ming didn't know if the other party had already thought of this retreat, anyway, the Han Eight Banners quickly retreated, and it seemed that they had left all their equipment behind, and it seemed that they didn't plan to continue to carry it.

After seeing the withdrawal of the Eight Banners, the Shanxi Green Battalion completely collapsed, but only the northernmost people could flee to no one's place, and the main force was also limited by narrow roads, crowded together and unable to flee in all directions. Until this time, there were still a few brave Qing army officers who tried to resist, and gathered more than a dozen or twenty personal soldiers around them to fight the Ming army to the end.

When the Shanxi Green Battalion in the back row fled with the Han Eight Banners, the Ming army began to detour to the flank of the Qing army's battle line, surrounding a large number of Green Battalion soldiers who had not had time to flee the battle line.

While the Ming army was making this detour, the hundreds of soldiers of the Ganshan Green Battalion who stood in front of them surrendered without hesitation, but instead of throwing their weapons and armor on the ground, they shouted loudly for peace. These hundreds of green battalions were deployed in the north by Sun Sike before, just to prevent the Ming army from detouring the entire front from the side, but now they have no effect, when the Ming army drove over, the Qing army made way for the Ming army in an orderly manner, and all of them retreated to the side and stood in formation. Seeing that the hundreds of green battalion soldiers neither intended to flee nor surrendered, the Ming army, who was ordered to engage them, was a little confused, and just divided their troops to monitor them.

After seeing that the Ming army gradually had the intention of encircling it, the Qing army generals who led this group of green battalions came out and asked to see Deng Ming.

When the Qing generals were brought over, the battle between the Ming army and the Shanxi Green Battalion was still continuing, and thousands of defeated Shanxi Green Battalions were surrounded by the Ming army by the river, and when they saw that there was no way to retreat, they gathered together with the intention of resisting.

"Wang ...... Wang ...... "After Deng Ming saw the visitor, he said in his heart that it was no wonder that he looked at the banner and looked familiar, it turned out that this was also an acquaintance, in the last pursuit of Li Guoying, the general was also captured with his own soldiers, but Deng Ming couldn't remember his name, but remembered that he seemed to have the same surname as Wang Mingde.

"Wang Xincheng, Deputy General Boring." The general of the Qing army smiled all over his face, nodded and reported to himself: "Governor Deng hasn't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

"Thank you, General Wang, for your concern." Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Deng Ming jumped off the horse, and clasped his fists in his hands, apologizing for forgetting the other party's name.

"Admiral Deng is polite, and the general is here to negotiate peace." Wang Xin sincerely told Deng Ming that the hundreds of soldiers in the Ganshan Green Battalion in the north were his own soldiers, and some of them were captured by Deng Ming last time and later bought back with oxen. Originally, Wang Xincheng's task was to stay in Chongqing and obey Gao Mingzhan's command, but unfortunately Sun Sike was put on the battlefield, and his leg was about to break this day and night. Seeing that it was indeed Deng Ming leading the troops on the other side, Wang Xincheng and his subordinates were ready to wait and see. If Sun Sike's group of tired soldiers could not lose, then they would naturally stick to their posts; If Deng Ming won as expected, Wang Xincheng would go to negotiate peace, and the pro-military camp, which had to be rebuilt for a year, would be annihilated again.

After hearing the other party's use of the word peace instead of surrender, the guards behind Deng Ming all frowned, in their opinion, Wang Xincheng was obviously surrendering. But Deng Ming's expression was as usual, and he said politely: "Vice General Wang has something to say, please speak." ”

Wang Xincheng's condition is not to disarm, not to be captured, and not to hand over the banner and golden drum to the Ming army, after saying his request, Wang Xincheng also added: "If Admiral Deng does not agree, please let the last general go back and say, after the last general goes back, he will order the whole army to throw down his armor and run to the north, how much can we run out, the brother who lost his hand wants Admiral Deng to take care of it, and the last general will go back and prepare to ransom people with oxen - well, the last general has already explained very clearly, let them not resist, let alone hurt Admiral Deng's men, If you can't run, follow your soldiers honestly. ”

"It's not that I can't consider this condition," Deng Ming pondered for a moment and nodded: "But what good do I have?" ”

"The last general can do Admiral Deng two favors." Wang Xincheng first pointed to the Shanxi Green Battalion on the shore that was still resisting: "General Sun told them that Admiral Deng and your subordinates like to cut people's hearts and livers alive, and they don't want to watch themselves being eaten alive by your army, so they still refuse to surrender, and the last general can send some soldiers to help Admiral Deng persuade him to surrender." ”

"Sounds okay, but they can't run anyway, maybe I'll just shout myself." Deng Ming didn't want to lose his troops in vain, but bargaining always started with belittling the goods in the other party's hands.

"General Sun has bombarded more than 10,000 Shanxi unarmored soldiers to the north, if Admiral Deng personally arrests them, most of them will run, and they are not locals, or they will be hungry and want to surrender in the future, and they may also get lost." Wang Xincheng took care of everything: "As long as Admiral Deng lets go of the last general and the last general's personal barracks, the last general will send someone to shout to those unarmored soldiers, a few strong men are worth a cow, right?" ”

Wang Xincheng's subordinates are already very tired, and it is estimated that they will not be able to run fast, Wang Xincheng is still reluctant to kiss the equipment of the barracks, knowing that Deng Ming will not kill prisoners, if an agreement can be reached, it will naturally be the best.

Deng Ming briefly asked about the reality of Chongqing's troops, and how many of Li Guoying's soldiers and horses were around Zhongxian. Wang Xincheng saw that there were no colleagues next to him, so he explained everything he knew to Deng Ming.

"Okay, I agreed." Deng Ming thought for a while. When he heard that Chongqing was empty, his heart moved, but now it seems that he has missed the best opportunity to attack Chongqing, and now he may have returned some reinforcements, and Han Baqi will also flee back to consolidate the city defense in the starry night. The Ming army needed to screen the prisoners and re-board the ship before they could sail to Chongqing to find a landing site. Of course, maybe Chongqing still has nothing, but it takes time and effort to gather troops on the ship, and if Chongqing's city defense is restored, the Ming army will be empty, not only Chongqing will not be able to get it, but also lose the time to capture prisoners here.

After reaching an agreement with Wang Xincheng, the Ganshan Green Battalion soon sent envoys to the Shanxi Green Camp to persuade them to surrender, and after the careful explanation of these colleagues, the Shanxi Green Battalion, which was originally determined to die, lost the will to resist, and soon began to surrender in twos and threes, and finally all the people laid down their weapons and put their lives in the hands of the Ming army.

It was not until the evening that the Ming army set up a camp to hold prisoners of war.

There was a Ming soldier who was sent to serve as a jailer who had participated in the battle against Gao Mingzhan and Tan Hong, and before that battle, he was full of fear of the Ganshan Green Battalion, and heard that the other party was the best soldier in the world. However, after the battle, it was discovered that it was just a group of hungry soldiers who kept begging the jailers for food. This was the second time he had been drafted into the army.

"Is there anything to eat? Give me something to eat, right? "Prisoners of war are constantly being brought to the prisoner of war camps, including the unarmored and armored soldiers of the Qing army, and now each of them has their armor and weapons confiscated, and if you don't observe carefully, you may not be able to tell the difference.

The jailers gave each captive a piece of dry food to eat, and there were wells in the camp to carry water for themselves.

"Our admiral said that what kind of strong army are your Shanxi soldiers, and it doesn't look like that!" Seeing that a captive had grabbed dry food and immediately gobbled it up without hesitation, the jailer said mockingly.

"Aren't our Shanxi soldiers still a strong army?" The Shanxi man angrily put down his hand holding the food and shouted: "We have been running for a day and a night, and we can still put on armor and lift a knife, what is this not the elite soldiers in the world?" ”
