Immediately following Deng Ming and rushing to the enemy camp were Yang Youcai and Zhou Kaihuang, in addition to Yang Youcai's original team, there were more than 4,000 soldiers with Xiucai. The original task of this group of troops was to be on guard and at the same time to divide manpower to build a camp, but after Yang Youcai and Zhou Kaihuang saw Deng Ming attacking the enemy camp with a forward, they felt that the situation was urgent and did not care about repairing the camp, so they immediately commanded the army to attack and respond together, and at the same time sent people to report to the rear, so that the rear team could rush to support at full speed.

Soon, Deng Ming rushed into the first camp of the Qing army with hundreds of armor soldiers.

After approaching, Deng Ming found that the Qing army's fortifications were very poorly built, only a low fence, and there were no horses or trenches built on the inside, no wonder Di Sanxi rushed in with the cavalry at once. The people sitting in the camp were all dejected, obviously Qing soldiers who had surrendered to Di Sanxi. There were no cavalry of the Ming army in this camp, and the Qing soldiers sitting on the ground had no idea of standing up at all, and after seeing the Ming army rushing in again, they bowed their heads to the ground while desperately shouting "surrender".

Deng Ming did not follow up immediately, but ordered to hold the camp. After the cavalry attacked the joint camp, what he was most worried about was that the enemy army was surrounded on all sides, so Deng Ming's first thought was to ensure the safety of this camp and leave a way for Di Sanxi to retreat. But something even more unexpected happened, the Qing army camps on both sides did not have any counteroffensive moves, and the Ming army was engrossed in guarding, but there were no drums or shouts on both sides, and not a single Qing soldier could be seen rushing towards this gap.

"Keep going." Deng Ming left half of the soldiers behind and continued to move forward with the other half.

Behind Zhou Kaihuang was Mu Tan and some Sword Pavilion soldiers, and after hearing that the battle had started in front, they also immediately urged the army to run forward.

Xiong Lan ran faster than Zhou Kaihuang, and along the way, Xiong Guerrilla kept agitating around the team, and when the news of the battle came from the front, Xiong Lan happened to be near Zhou Kaihuang's team, and he immediately ran wildly with his group of men who seemed to be a propaganda team. When Zhou Kaihuang's thousands of talented soldiers approached the battlefield, Xiong Lan had already rushed into the camp of the Qing army with his men.

Now Deng Ming has joined the cavalry, and after seeing Deng Ming, Di Sanxi shouted: "Admiral, why did you come up?" ”

"Why did you rush in?" Deng Ming asked rhetorically as he looked around.

Today's battle was as easy, if not simpler, than the raid on Lang Tingzuo under the city of Nanjing. The Qing troops in the various camps stayed in the camps and did not fight, neither reinforcing each other nor trying to break through, and after the Ming troops rushed in front of them, they threw down their wooden crutches and surrendered.

Deng Ming rushed to Di Sanxi with his soldiers from outside the camp, but he never saw a Qing soldier who showed his knife to resist: "Where is Gao Mingzhan?" ”

Di Sanxi shook his head. The Qing army had more than a dozen tents, each of which looked like there were hundreds of people. Under normal circumstances, after a surprise attack, the most courageous Qing soldiers would spontaneously concentrate on the Chinese tent, and the experienced generals on the attacking side would be able to judge the approximate location of the enemy's commander's tent by looking at the direction of the enemy's movement. But today, the Qing army on the opposite side seems to have no intention of resisting at all, and even the hope of escaping is not too strong.

When Di Sanxi rushed outside the tent just now, he just wanted to convey a message. But when Di Sanxi shouted out Deng Ming's name, before he could explain that he had come to make an appointment, someone from the Qing army inside the fence had already thrown his crutches to the ground. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Di Sanxi took advantage of the situation and rushed into the camp with the cavalry, but none of the Qing soldiers in the camp resisted, half of them scattered and fled, and the rest sat on the ground and surrendered.

Di Sanxi pursued into the next barracks, and the Qing army was about the same, about half of them fled, and the other half surrendered. Seeing this situation, the Qing soldiers who fled from the first camp to this camp no longer spent their strength on fleeing, and threw down their crutches one after another, and sat on the ground and shouted "spare your life".

Such a smooth progress made Di Sanxi surprised and delighted, and he led the cavalry to continue to rush left and right in the camp of the Qing army, like a storm and clouds. When Deng Ming led his troops to catch up, the third Qing army camp also surrendered to Di Sanxi. Deng Ming stared at the enemy soldiers sitting on the ground, and found that their faces were haggard, their cheeks were deep, and many of them looked like ghosts rather than humans.

The Qing soldiers who fled spread the news of the Ming army's attack to more camps, and Deng Ming faintly heard someone shouting in the distance: "Deng Ming is here!" chóngqìng is broken! ”

"What does it have to do with the fact that I'm here and chóngqìng is broken?" This shout made Deng Ming feel inexplicable. However, he didn't have time to think about it, a large number of Ming troops behind him were rapidly pouring in under the leadership of Yang Youcai and Zhou Kaihuang, taking over the work of monitoring the prisoners, and on the other hand, they began to intersperse the Qing army camps, surround the Qing army camps closest to them - until now, the Qing army still did not organize effective resistance, did not connect with each other to form a battle line, and there were increasingly loud desperate cries in the various camps: "Chóngqìng has been broken, defeated, defeated!" ”

After all, the other side was an army of thousands of people, and Deng Ming asked the cavalry to slow down and stop the continued in-depth assault, and at the same time disarmed the Qing army by the infantry from camp by camp. The resistance encountered by the Ming army was minimal, and some of the enemy soldiers in the camp seemed to want to resist stubbornly out of fear, but after receiving assurances that the Ming army would not surrender, they also hesitated to lay down their weapons.

In the team led by Mu Tan, when he ran near the battlefield with a spear, he saw that half of the camp tents had already hung the red flag of the Ming army. Soon, a herald came out of the camp tent and gave an order, saying that the Qing army in the camp was no longer a serious threat, and the troops of Zhou Kaihuang and others were enough to subdue them. Because some of the Qing troops had fled the camp, Mutan's forces needed to spread out on the periphery of the camp to hunt down the fugitives.

After receiving the order, Mu Tan let thousands of Tongxiucai disperse and form a team of dozens of people to search and pursue in a fan shape. The ground was covered with a layer of snow, and the traces of the Qing soldiers escaping were very easy to find, and Li Yanpeng and his companions pursued along these footprints, and soon found one lone Qing soldier after another.

Hearing that Deng Ming led the soldiers to kill, these Qing soldiers fled from the camp, and then ran around aimlessly. After seeing the Ming army chasing behind them, some soldiers saw that they were cornered, so they stopped, drew their knives and faced the pursuers viciously. The enemy's extremely vicious appearance made Li Yanpeng's heart beat a drum, and he knew that these enemies were all the Ganshan Green Battalion with the name of Jīng Rui. However, when the Ming army marched side by side, cautiously approaching with spears, the last bit of courage of the other side to fight also collapsed, first loudly demanding that the Ming soldiers swear not to harm his life, and after receiving the guarantee, he put the knife far away and surrendered to the Ming army.

"Is this the jīng sharp soldier of the Tartars?" Li Yanpeng and his companions took out ropes to tie up one green battalion soldier after another, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: "Is this what Tartar's jīng rui looks like?" What should it look like if it can't be called jīng? How could our Ming not even be able to defeat such an enemy? ”

After tying up a group of prisoners, Li Yanpeng estimated that the rest of the Qing soldiers must have fled farther. However, Shangfeng had an order to arrest them as much as possible, lest they become robbers × robbers who were scurrying around to commit crimes, so Li Yanpeng and the others continued to pursue.

After searching for a while, I suddenly saw two or three Qing soldiers walking towards the Ming army from a distance. Because they didn't know if they were going to fight to the death, the Ming troops in each team immediately stood up, and the leader of the team gave an order, and everyone raised their spears and pointed at them.

"We surrender, surrender!" These Qing soldiers were inferior to the previous captives, and even forgot to offer an unharmed quid pro quo before surrendering.

The closure of these enemy soldiers was the strongest will to resist, the best brain, and the healthiest group in the Qing army. After hearing that the army was coming, these people knew that they would be defeated, and quickly fled from the camp that was about to fall. But after running for a while, they found that there was a white wilderness around them, no houses, roads, and no human footprints, but a few lines of beast paw prints. When the other Qing soldiers who had no idea behind them saw these examples, they also silently followed, and returned with heavy steps to surrender to the Ming army.

Because of his prior training, Li Yanpeng knew what to do, so he first ordered the Qing army to squat down with his head in his hands, and then went over with his companions and tied them up tightly one by one.

Li Yanpeng felt that there was a Qing army that looked like an officer, so he was very nervous, but this guy was very tame and acted completely according to Li Yanpeng's orders. After carefully binding this enemy, Li Yanpeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the prisoner also looked relieved. After a while, the officer began to talk to Li Yanpeng -- just now he felt that this Ming soldier was very nervous, so he cautiously kept silent, for fear of causing a misunderstanding and hurting himself: "Master Jun, can you give me something to eat, my stomach is really hungry." ”

"I'll give you something to eat when I get back to camp in a moment." Li Yanpeng replied.

"Can the military master give a little first, pad the stomach." The officer was bold, and his eyes swept over Li Yanpeng and his companions: "I'm very hungry." ”

Li Yanpeng and several companions around him glanced at each other, took out the dry food bag from his arms, broke off a piece, and stuffed it into the prisoner's mouth.

"Thank you, Master Jun." The captive thanked him indistinctly, and hurriedly chewed hard, swallowing the piece of dry food.

"Master Jun, the villain wants it too." After seeing this scene, the surrounding captives also shouted.

Many of his companions followed Li Yanpeng's example and took out a little bit of their dry food bags and put a piece in each prisoner's mouth.

"This is the jīng Rui of the Tartars?" Li Yanpeng shook his head: "It turns out that this is what the Ganshan Green Camp of Jīng Rui looks like. ”

…… After Gao Mingzhan confirmed the arrival of Deng Ming's army, he also decided to flee immediately. After Gao Mingzhan fled, Tan Yi also tried to lead the soldiers to resist, but Tan Yi's call was not responded to by ordinary Qing soldiers. After discovering that Gao Mingzhan had fled, the Qing soldiers who did not dare to surrender followed suit, and the rest did not wait for the Ming army to persuade them to surrender, so everyone sat on the ground, posing as if they were resigned to fate. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Tan Yi also hurriedly fled with his entourage. In this way, the Ming army effortlessly took over one Qing army camp after another.

After asking about the situation, Deng Ming immediately asked Di Sanxi to lead the cavalry to pursue Gao Mingzhan and Tan Yi - Tan Yi actually appeared again, which was really a bit unexpected, Deng Ming said to Di Sanxi: "This fight killed Li Qianzong's Engong Fuhou, the last time Chóngqìng fought a battle, almost put me, Zhao Qianhu and Zhou Qianzong and thousands of other people to death, today I am looking forward to the general avenging us." ”

Di Sanxi said loudly, urging all the cavalry to chase Tan Yi. He made up his mind in his heart that even if he let Gao Mingzhan go, he would capture Tan Yisheng alive.

Deng Ming's guards did not follow Di Sanxi, and after leaving the camp, Di Sanxi asked one hundred and fifty cavalry to divide into five teams and chase in different directions. Those who followed Di Sanxi were all his henchmen and guards.

"Didn't the lord say that it was Tailor Zhao who washed the Shu Palace?" Seeing that there were no outsiders around, a guard asked curiously: "Why did Zhao Qianhu follow Mr. Deng, and Mr. Deng also let him take charge of the Chinese army, as if there was no suspicion at all." ”

"yes." Another henchman had a similar question.

When he first saw Zhao Tianba, Di Sanxi himself was also taken aback, although he knew that Deng Ming was not a person who loved to hold grudges, but Zhao Tianba was the only son of the person directly responsible for the Shu Wangfu back then, and they never thought that Deng Ming could be so magnanimous that even Zhao Tailor didn't care.

"Of course, this is the confession of Nanhua Old Immortal, haven't you heard of it?" Di San said matter-of-factly. Now the story about the son of the King of Shu meeting immortals is spread in Jianchang, and no one knows it. After seeing Zhao Tianba, Di Sanxi thought about it again and again, and felt that he had found the only reasonable explanation: "What the old immortal family said is that they don't care about all the people in Xiying, aren't King Jin and Zhao Tailor also from our Xiying." ”

"yes." Generally speaking, Di Sanxi's henchmen are still happy about this matter: "Mr. Deng doesn't even care about Tailor Zhao, so he will definitely not settle old accounts with us." ”

"Well, I have to inform the king of this matter." Di Sanxi thought much more than these subordinates. His relationship with Zhao Tianba is not good. In the past, when Sun Kewang was in power, Di Sanxi, as Feng Shuangli's confidant, did not like all the guards of the Jin Palace; After the infighting between the three kings, Zhao Tianba, the people of the Jin Palace, were arrogant every time they went to Feng Shuangli's camp, and they never looked at Di Sanxi and them with their eyes: "Zhao Qianhu is the person of the King of Jin, what do you mean, Zhao Qianhu is so stammered with Mr. Deng?" ”

"Ahh After Di Sanxi's reminder, his subordinates also realized the importance of the problem: "Could it be that the King of Jin is going to change his court?" ”

"Hmph, King Jin knows that the Son of Heaven he supports is no longer good, he is as timid as a mouse, he fled to Myanmar and didn't dare to come back, King Jin probably wanted to change people, so he asked Zhao Qianhu to make peace with Mr. Deng, wanting to find a new way for himself." Di Sanxi said contemptuously, but then there was a trace of worry on his face: "Mr. Deng is the one we take the lead in supporting, and he can't be snatched away by King Jin." ”

Although Di Sanxi did not regard Gao Mingzhan as his first target, Governor Gao did not escape far from the camp, so he dispelled the idea of continuing to flee, and while finding a cave to hide, he sent his own soldiers back to ask the Ming army to surrender.

These personal soldiers stopped Di Sanxi's horse team, indicating that Gao Mingzhan was willing to surrender to the Ming army after receiving personal safety guarantees. Di Sanxi thought about it for a while, although Deng Ming didn't seem to have a grudge against Gao Mingzhan, but for a high-ranking official of the governor's rank, the Ming army was likely to kill and then pass on the whole army. In addition to not knowing what Deng Ming would do with Gao Mingzhan, Di Sanxi knew that Deng Ming was very concerned about his credit, so he didn't dare to agree rashly for Deng Ming, so he asked a few cavalrymen to bring a Gao Mingzhan's personal soldier back to the camp to see Deng Ming.

If Deng Ming agreed to Gao Mingzhan's request, then the problem would naturally be solved, if Deng Ming didn't agree and was not afraid, didn't he still have a few Gao Mingzhan's personal soldiers in his hands, Di Sanxi was confident that there were many ways to make them open their mouths and tell Gao Mingzhan's hiding place.

Di Sanxi was not far from Deng Ming's camp, and soon the herald brought back Deng Ming's password and accepted Gao Mingzhan's surrender. Returning with Di Sanxi's envoy, there was also Gao Mingzhan's personal soldier, and Deng Ming personally assured him that he would not harm the life of the governor of Sichuan.

After losing the army, Gao Mingzhan and his group would definitely not be able to escape back to the Sword Pavilion alive, so Deng Ming's guarantee was already the best treatment they could get, and these soldiers took Di Sanxi to Gao Mingzhan's hiding place. The governor of Sichuan, who was already tired and about to collapse, staggered out and surrendered to Di Sanxi with the support of his subordinates. The latter sent a team of cavalry to escort the big fish back to the camp, and then continued to search for Tan Yi's traces.

Soon after Gao Mingzhan was sent back to the camp, Zhao Tianba also hurried to arrive.

"Where is that thief?" An extremely angry roar came from outside the tent, and Zhao Qianhu followed the voice, and after breaking into the tent and seeing Gao Mingzhan, Zhao Tianba was really angry, and rushed forward and shouted and scolded: "Gao thief, you are too incompetent!" The soldiers were not fed, the camps were not built seriously, and even weapons and armor were lost. Are you here to fight, or are you here to die? ”

The more Zhao Tianba spoke, the more angry he became, hating Gao Mingzhan so much that his teeth itched.

"I got up early and trained greedily at night, and I haven't had a day off in more than a month! At night, when everyone else was sleeping, I was still checking the newly made flags, and it was not uncommon for me to not sleep for three hours a day. Zhao Tianba was so excited that he lost control, he clenched his fists, and was about to pounce on Gao Mingzhan and beat him. Deng Ming and the others hurriedly stopped him, so that they could talk badly, and then pulled Zhao Qianhu out of the camp to rest.

Tens of thousands of Ming troops arrived one after another, and Deng Ming ordered the whole army to camp and rest. As for the captured Qing soldiers, Deng Ming also provided them with steaming cooked food and noodle soup.

The thousands of captured Qing soldiers were in very poor physical condition, and many of them were still suffering from fever and diarrhea. Hearing that there was still a group of stragglers still struggling in the mountains, Deng Ming and his subordinates discussed forming a search team, led by the guide to the mountains to search for survivors: "Prepare some stretchers, if the Qing soldiers can't walk, carry them back, and save people as the first goal." If we find weapons or armor, just record the location, and we'll pick them up later, because they can't run without legs anyway. ”
