However, this decisive battle ended in a shocking way.
As soon as the official army arrived, tens of thousands of thieves suddenly became moved. Several thieves rushed out of the team desperately and ran towards the official army.
Just like a flood in the drainage gate, it caused a chain reaction in an instant. Many thieves rushed towards the official army desperately with the actions of those people.
The backbone of the thieves behind could not be restrained at all. They were frantically slashing the thieves who fled, but to no avail. There were too many thieves who fled.
Some thieves even openly resisted, chopping down the backbone to the ground, and then running towards the direction of the official army.
Tens of thousands of thieves collapsed in less than a moment. The thieves ran to the front of the government army, then knelt directly on the ground and begged for surrender to the government army.
The official army did not launch an attack for a long time, but began to gather the surrendered thieves. About half an hour later, the surrendered thieves were taken to the back.
And those thieves who planned to fight to the death had less than three thousand left, and they were defeated like mountains of defeat. Most of the three thousand people looked as if they were ashamed.
Some thieves led the thief, drew their swords in despair, smeared them on their necks, and fell to the ground in the dazzling sunshine facing the east...
Some people did not have the courage to commit suicide and looked at the official army in the distance with dejected expression. Some were full of resentment and decided to fight to the death.
"Kill!" Zhao Yan gave the order, and the cavalry battalion attacked again. After these days of fighting, the cavalry battalion had lost 900 people, but not many died. After all, the soldiers in the cavalry battalion were all wearing plate armor, and their defense was not covered. Most of them were injured accidentally or fell ill due to long-distance raids. They could return to the team after a period of cultivation.
The neatly arranged formations of the cavalry battalions made people feel in their hearts. The solemn aura once again enveloped the thieves. The thieves were leaning against Xifeishui. They had no way out and the government troops did not give them any way to survive.
An unprecedented courage erupted in desperate situations and fought to the death.
Two hundred meters away, the cavalry battalion entered the sprint stage, and the speed of the war horse slowly rose and crashed towards the bandit's formation.
Although the thief burst out with his desperate fighting spirit in desperate situations, he was still torn a hole by the cavalry battalion without any suspense and broke directly into the formation.
A melee began. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion used their strength to break through and disrupt the enemy in chaos, and kept fighting in front of them.
Casualties are inevitable. Zhao Yan was watching the battle with a telescope in the distance, his heart was as hard as iron stone. The cavalry battalion was just facing the bandits at this moment. One day, they said that they had to face the Qing cavalry. Only by letting the cavalry battalion grow in iron and blood and constantly change sharply in battle can they compete with the Qing cavalry in the future.
Those thieves were just targeting the cavalry camp to sacrifice swords. In order to inspire their determination to fight desperately, Zhao Yan asked someone to cut down all the thieves who were caught.
In the past, these people should have been caught and built roads, harvested masters, and mined.
The soldiers in the cavalry battalion were as crazy as they were attacking the thieves in front of them violently. The thieves became colder and colder, and this was simply an impossible battle.
The weapons were chopped on the cavalry, and the other party had nothing to do with it.
Moreover, these cavalrymen were well-trained and rushed into the formation in neat formations, which prevented the bandits from leveraging their numerical advantages and could not form a phenomenon of beating a few bandits against an official army.
The most feared thing for cavalry when it comes to infantry is to be alone. Once it is alone, it means a life-and-death life. Infantry can block the cavalry's way from the front, then pull it off from the side and behind, or kill it directly.
But the well-trained cavalry battalion did not give the thieves the opportunity. Pingyuli's hard training played a huge role at this moment.
Although it was a melee, it was an organized melee.
In less than a moment, the thieves were chaotic and could not organize effective resistance.
Nine hundred and three thousand, but it formed a one-sided massacre. Soon the cavalry battalion rushed through the formation of the bandits and rushed out from the other side.
On the other hand, nearly seven or eight hundred people have fallen from the thief.
After the soldiers from the cavalry battalion rushed out, they quickly carried out the whole team. Lin Yi turned his horse's head, reached out to lift the mask, took a look at the situation on the battlefield, then covered the mask, lifted the saber, and took the lead in rushing out.
Amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the cavalry battalion broke into the bandit formation again, chasing the bandits' newly-closed formation again. This time, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion did not rush out, but engaged in a continuous melee.
The melee lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and the last thief finally fell into a pool of blood. The ground was covered with thief's corpses.
Those thieves who had surrendered, watching the bloody scene trembled, were even more glad that they had surrendered, otherwise they would die with those people.
The Fengyang officials who came to watch the battle were shocked one by one. Yang Ze wiped the sweat from his head and said to Zhao Yan with a smile: "The soldiers under General Zhao are indeed unparalleled in bravery and invincible in the world."
"Haha! You dare not be the invincible in the world. Eunuch Yang should go and count the results!" Zhao Yan laughed dryly and said to Yang Ze.
Yang Ze immediately became energetic and immediately asked someone to count the corpses, then asked someone from the prisoners to ask, confirming the identities of the thieves.
These are all credits! I hope these credits can calm the anger of the Lord.
...
The news that the thief went to Fengyang reached the capital on the 19th. Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War, was "scarying to the servant" and lamented: "Once the fundamental land of all ages is a place of ashes, it is a place of good pain and hatefulness."
Zhu Youjian received the news and stayed there for a long time without any movement.
Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saw Zhu Youjian's reaction, thought for a moment and said, "Master, although Fengyang was captured by bandits, the reinforcements from Shandong surnamed Suo arrived in time. Although it shocked the imperial tomb, the bandits did not dig the ancestral tomb and did not hurt the foundation of the world."
After hearing Wen Tiren's words, Zhu Youjian reacted, as if he was hopeful and glad, and asked, "What I said seriously?"
"I just asked the Feng Shui master, and the gentleman said that as long as the ancestral tomb has not been dug by the thief, the dragon vein will not be damaged. You only need to spend some silver to rebuild the imperial tomb." Wen Tiren naturally understood Chongzhen's thoughts, and Chongzhen was an emperor who hoped to make a difference.
The fall of Zhongdu can be described as a very disgraceful stroke. The core issue is the so-called "dragon vein". Since the dragon vein has not been lost, there is no mistake.
Zhu Youjian's expression was refreshed, but immediately became dim again and said, "Ming said that I went to Taimiao to worship my ancestors."
Second, Zhu You found out of the palace gate and cried in Taimiao to complain to his ancestors. He burst into tears and burst into tears. The third said that he immediately reported the crime to the world.
After the news that Fengyang was trapped in a thief's hand spread, the world could not help but shake.
But the news that followed in the following days was even more shocking. Shandong reinforcements brought by Zhao Yan, the guerrilla general of Denglai, Shandong, not only killed the Taiping King who captured Fengyang, but also successfully captured the sweeping king who called himself "Emperor of Guyuan Zhenlong". He also captured more than 200,000 thieves who invaded Fengyang, killed 16 thieves from all over the country, and killed more than 6,000 thieves from all over the country...
The battle between the official army and the bandits has always had their own victories and losses. Strictly speaking, the official army seems to be even more declining. Almost no one has ever thought that such a big victory would occur.
The good news came one by one to the capital. Zhu Youjian swept away his previous depressedness. When he saw the good news of capturing the sweeping king alive, he slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, okay."
"When the thief chief is taken to the capital, and then paraded for three days and then executed Lingchi!" Chongzhen ordered with great excitement. Then he asked the officials in the court: "Denglai guerrilla Zhao Yan made such a great contribution. What are your dear friends who think should you reward me?"
