Chapter 249 The cavalry surrenders

Thank you for the rewards and likes of the Qi Color Pineapple Bun, Lao Hai bowed and thanked!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Originally, in Cao Shao's central view, the Pingdu City defenders had no advantage except that they could pose a threat to their own side. When the two armies faced each other, their own army would definitely destroy and annihilate the other side.

But just now, a face-to-face impact from the enemy hunting department completely extinguished Cao Shaozhong's idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. At first, he planned to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop through battle, but now it seems even more delusional.

Now the opponent's cavalry rushed to the official road, completely blocking the way for him and his cavalry to return north. The soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the official road had quickly prepared gunpowder packs. It would be difficult for the Pingdu City army to block the official road.

Compared with the unstoppable force of the opponent's cavalry, Cao Shaozhong knew very well in his heart that the current state of his cavalry was not inferior. What's even more terrifying is that they had the gunpowder bag in their hands. The cavalry under his hands are now in panic. It's getting darker now. If he orders the attack, as long as the opponent's gunpowder bag is thrown out, he will retreat first without slapping the cavalry under his hands!

Cao Shaozhong was exhausted and was now facing a situation of entering the valley of the map. He was anxious for a moment and was thinking about how to solve the current crisis. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one way to surrender!

Several major officers of the rebel cavalry came to Cao Shaozhong and asked worriedly what to do next.

Cao Shao was upset in the center and couldn't help but scold these cavalry officers. If it were normal, these officers could only accept the scolding obediently and dared not say much.

But the situation is special now. These more than 800 cavalry retreated in succession. They had not advanced for nearly a day, and now they were blocked from retreating. Both the generals and soldiers were on the verge of collapse.

One of the irritable officers directly confronted Cao Shaozhong, and several other cavalry generals also showed anger.

Cao Shaozhong calmed down in an instant. Now he is different from the past. Now his cavalry is like a gunpowder bag in the hands of the enemy hunting department. He will blow himself to pieces by a little inappropriate. He must calm down his men and find ways to get out of here!

He knew very well what these officers under him thought. They wanted to surrender to the other side. These cavalry were not Kong Youde's private soldiers, and they did not have much favor in normal times. It is most important to save their lives at critical moments.

In fact, Cao Shaozhong also had plans to surrender, but he couldn't figure out whether the other party would attack him if he led the crowd to surrender. He did not dare to make a rash decision before he got the other party's guarantee.

Cao Shaozhong changed into a smiley face and was about to say a few soft words to these subordinates and tell his plans, but he found that his subordinates turned their gaze to the opposite side.

Cao Shaozhong was so excited that he immediately turned his head to look at the opposite side. He saw several horses riding from the cavalry array of the enemy hunting commander. The leader of the cavalry in the middle seemed to be the leader of the cavalry opposite.

Shen Xiaoshan looked at the rebel cavalry opposite and shouted: "Brothers of the cavalry, I am the general under the command of Feng Jian, the general of Pingdu City, and there is something important now. Please let your general lead the troops come out and speak."

Cao Shaozhong looked at the young general opposite and was confused. He saw that the other party was not as if he wanted to attack, and he had to come forward if there were important things. This meant that the other party did not want to use rash weapons.

Cao Shao turned his eyes and turned all kinds of thoughts in an instant. He saw several subordinates looking at him with anticipation. Obviously, they also felt a little kindness from each other's words, and hoped that they would come forward to contact each other quickly.

Cao Shaozhong said to several cavalry generals: "Everyone, don't be impatient. I will come forward and listen to the plan to oppose the enemy first. You guys should control your cavalry for the time being and don't cause any trouble."

After giving the order, Cao Shaozhong led his confidant guards to ride out of the cavalry line, and stopped his pace more than 80 steps away from Shen Xiaoshan.

Cao Shaozhong bowed to Chen Xiaoshan slightly and said, "I am the commander of the cavalry under Marshal Kong, Dengzhou. How dare you ask General Chen what important things are?"

The matter is clearly that the rebels are now in a desperate situation. The rebel Cao Shaozhong is trying to find a way out.

Chen Xiaoshan didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly: "General Cao should understand that your troops are facing a crisis of inability to advance and retreat. My general issued military orders in advance. Before, both of you and our army were the Ming army, but now they have gone astray. The enemy of both of you and me is Jiannu who is constantly detaining my border! As long as you put down your weapons and surrender to my general, my general promises to be free from the past and will continue to grant the leading generals to continue to lead the troops."

Chen Xiaoshan came up and went straight to the point, throwing out the benefits given by the rebel surrender, which was very in line with the appetite of these group of Qiu Bas. Those who served in the army liked to go straight.

The two sides did not have a deep hatred, and the rebellion was forced to do so. Now the other party promised to let the past go. The other party deliberately announced the conditions for surrender in public in order to win the hearts of the cavalry under his command.

Cao Shaozhong didn't need to look at it and knew that his cavalry would definitely accept the other party's arrangement to surrender to the other party. As long as he shirked his responsibilities, he would never have a good end.

The other party's words revealed that he led the crowd to surrender to the generals of Pingdu City rather than to the court. Cao Shaozhong was relieved by saying this. This means that after surrender, he would become the private soldiers of the generals of the generals, and the other party could not use his private soldiers to ask the court for credit!

After his thoughts were turned on, Cao Shaozhong bowed slightly on the war horse and shouted: "We were also forced by the generals such as Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng to join the rebels. We did not want to follow the rebels to continue to do evil. Now, since the general Feng of the governor is willing to take us in, he naturally wants it and is willing to join the general Feng of the governor."

Cao Shaozhong repeatedly mentioned that he was surrendering to the governor Feng, rather than surrendering to the court. This was exactly what Chen Xiaoshan and others expected.

After Cao Shaozhong finished speaking, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out among the eight hundred cavalry behind him. The rebel cavalry, who were trapped in desperate situation, finally relaxed their tense nerves.

Chen Xiaoshan also breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Shaozhong repeatedly mentioned that he was surrendering to the governor Feng, rather than surrendering to the court. This was exactly the result that Chen Xiaoshan and others were expecting.

Chen Xiaoshan praised loudly: "General Cao is really a person who knows the current affairs. I will accept your surrender and the cavalry under my command on behalf of my governor. From now on, everyone will belong to my governor. Please return to the team quickly to arrange it, and all the soldiers dismount and put down their weapons. Wait for the subsequent troops of my Zhenshan Camp to arrive, and make other arrangements."

Cao Shao was still a little nervous in the center, and he bowed his hand to Chen Xiaoshan helplessly and said, "I hope General Chen will be confident. We will surrender 800 soldiers, just to save our lives, so that we will not dare to hope for anything else."

Chen Xiaoshan knew that Cao Shaozhong and others had some concerns, so he decided to give them a reassurance and said with a look of a whole face: "Please rest assured, General Cao, I reiterate again that your and my enemies can only detain my borders repeatedly. The Jurchen Jiannu who burned, killed, plundered, and harmed my people. Everyone had fought with Jiannu from Liaodong many times before, and was an elite army. My gang general was taking advantage of you. I promise that everyone would submit to my gang general and could still gallop on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. General Cao, the conditions agreed by my gang will never change. You can rest assured now!"

Cao Shaozhong was slightly stunned. They had also done things like burning, killing, looting, and harming the people, but the other party never mentioned it, and obviously was not going to pursue the matter.

Chen Xiaoshan said it right. A cavalry cannot be trained overnight. He and his cavalry will naturally not go to the dark side of the enemy. He will definitely be good at winning over and using it. He has too much worries!

Cao Shao's head was a little calmer. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back and arrange it now, please rest assured General Chen." After that, he bowed his hand again and rode his horse back to his own queue.

At this moment, the scene of surrender was also taking place at the foot of Xiaohuakou Mountain. In the evening, Feng Jian led the soldiers of the three thousand Zhenshan camp in Pingdu City to Xiaohuakou. The 4,000 rebel infantry attacking Xiaohuakou were attacked on both sides. The rebels were already depressed. Zhenshan camp dispatched directly to bomb the temporary camp of the rebels, directly forcing the rebel soldiers to start fleeing.

At this time, Yang Bashi led the soldiers of Zhenshan Camp guarding the pass to fight forward. Most of the desperate rebels knelt on the ground and surrendered. The entire foot of Xiaohuakou Mountain to the middle of the mountain was filled with surrendered rebels.

Feng Jian looked at the rebel soldiers all over the mountains, raised his lips slightly, showing a slight smile. Now Pingdu City is imprisoning a thousand rebel cavalry and a thousand rebel infantry. In addition, seeing these four thousand surrendered rebel infantry, he already has more than five thousand rebel soldiers in his hands. Most of these people are strong and strong. Next, Zhenshan Camp expands its troops. These people are the best sources of soldiers!

Zhao Shougang, Fan Li and Jiao Keli have been following Feng Jian. At this time, the two of them were also filled with joy. They originally thought that if Kong Youde led the rebels to invade the territory, the Zhenshan Camp would inevitably withstand a series of tests. Who would have thought that in just two days, the Zhenshan Camp forced Kong Youde's rebels to evacuate in a hurry.

The commander was able to repel Kong Youde's rebels relying on the commander to make arrangements and plans in advance, especially the construction of various defense facilities in Xiaohuakou one year in advance, and the placement of two red cannons at Xiaohuakou completely blocked the Kong Youde's rebels' escape route.

Of course, the main generals of the Zhenshan Camp such as Zhao Shougang and Fan Li have long been accustomed to it. Zhao Shougang, Cheng Yousheng and others still imitate Feng Jian everywhere. For example, Cheng Yousheng will learn to use the smile on Feng Jian’s lips to handle official duties whenever he has something to do. He does not like to stick to the rules when doing things, and does not hesitate to achieve his goals even if he takes a certain risk.

Zhao Shougang smiled and said to Feng Jian: "This Kong Youde is like a hard-working little bee, constantly sending his subordinates' equipment and troops to our Zhenshan Camp! According to his subordinates' estimates, it is no problem to select 3,000 qualified Zhenshan Camp soldiers from these rebel strokes."

Fan Li has always been thinking about the captured chariots. The power of this chariot is obvious to all. Whether it is attack power or defense power, it will definitely be a major weapon in combat against the enemy. He hopes that the commander can allocate these chariots to their teaching regiment.

Therefore, he seized the opportunity to say to Feng Jian: "Now, Kong Youde's plan was not only gone, but also paid chariots, artillery, and so many war horses and soldiers. This is what the commander said about paying his wife and what soldiers, haha!"

Feng Jian smiled slightly, thinking in his heart how to adjust and expand the Zhenshan Camp after this battle, and how to ensure the implementation of various guarantee measures such as Zhenshan Camp's combat, training, and logistics.
