Chapter 1016 Italian Joke
At dusk, the main battlefield in the western suburbs of Changsha gradually became quiet.
There were no escaped Western Army here, either captured or destroyed by the Dan Army. Only corpses covered with earth and groups of prisoners were left on the battlefield.
Gao Huan stood on the battlefield on the battlefield, seeing the afterglow of the sunset, spreading on the battlefield dozens of miles. He watched the ownerless war horses running in the sunset, and saw the broken flags. He felt a sigh in his heart, and a desolate piece of music was heard in his ears.
The Western Army has been defeated, but the battle has not ended.
The few troops of the Gan Army cleaned up the battlefield, and most of them began to ruthlessly pursue the Western Army. The Western Army was fleeing in panic all over the mountains.
After all, there are more than 400,000 Western Army, and Changsha is relatively open. If the Western Army wants to escape, the army cannot be blocked.
As night fell, there were scattered soldiers running around Changsha. They fled in groups, which brought great difficulties to the arrest of the Gan Army.
After the Western Army suffered a great defeat on the battlefield in the northeastern suburbs of Changsha, a large number of defeated troops bypassed Changsha City, intending to escape the Xiangjiang River, but the floating bridge built was destroyed by the Ganjun Navy.
At this time, the Western Army, which had already escaped the west bank and the Western Army stationed on Yuelu Mountain, saw that the situation was not good, began to flee towards Xiangxi and Jingzhou.
These remaining soldiers, along with the chieftain soldiers who crossed the river first, got rid of the pursuit of the Gan Army.
The Western Army fled to Jingzhou did not dare to stay along the way, and robbed the village when they were hungry. Even big cities like Yiyang and Changde did not enter and fled directly to Jingzhou.
The Western Army stationed in Yiyang and Changde and other places, as well as the newly appointed Western officials, were not yet on the hot side. Seeing the Western Army fleeing in panic, they heard that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and did not know his life or death, so they also went out of the city and fled with the defeated soldiers.
The pursuing army recovered Yiyang and Changde without much effort.
These Western troops fled to the Yangtze River and wanted to cross the river and flee to Jingzhou, but were attacked by the army advancing westward from Yuezhou.
After Zhang Xianzhong went south, Li Pingyuan, the general guarding Xiangyang, led his army south. At the same time, Wang Jingde, who guarded Yuezhou, also led his army westward and surrounded Jingzhou.
These defeated soldiers fled all the way to Jingzhou, and were all wiped out by the soldiers who were waiting for their work.
Another Western Army followed the chieftain soldiers to flee to western Hunan, and they were lucky enough to escape into the mountains, combined with the anti-Kan chieftains and became bandits in western Hunan.
Mu Tianbo and others who fled here, when they saw the Western Army be defeated, supported Zhu Youlang, took the banner of the Ming Dynasty, threatened the rule of the Gan Kingdom, and became a bandit that influenced the Gan Dynasty for several years.
In addition to the Western Army that escaped the West Bank, more Western Army defeated troops were stranded on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River.
At this time, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Guangen, who had been trapped in Changsha for several months, suddenly rushed out of the city when they saw the Western Army defeat. They rushed south first and then deviated westward. Most of the Western Army had not had time to react, either being driven into the Xiangjiang River, washed away by the river, or being surrounded by the Gan Army.
In addition, there were tens of thousands of Western troops fleeing south in panic, intending to retreat to Guangxi in southern Hunan and meet with Ainengqi from Guilin.
Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu were originally going to cross the river, but when they arrived at the floating bridge, the floating bridge was broken by the dry navy, and the two could only stay on the east coast.
Liu Wenxiu suggested that Zhang Xianzhong run south, and the group is ready to rush south again, but before they can escape from the crowd, Ma Jinzhong interspers southward and cut off the road for the Western army to flee south.
At this time, the main force of the Gan Army came to pursue Ma Jinzhong, the main force of the Gan Army, Changsha City, and the three surrounded hundreds of thousands of Western troops in a narrow area on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River.
After one night, the Western Army ran away and surrounded it. The sound of gunfire near Changsha gradually disappeared at the third day and slowly became quiet.
The next morning, Gao Huan led a group of civil and military officials to the top of the city. His eyes were extremely spectacular, which reminded Gao Huan of an Italian joke.
Everyone looked down from the city and saw that the wilderness near the Xiangjiang River in the south of the city were densely filled with Western troops.
"Your Majesty, there must be more than 200,000 people!" Song Xiance said in shock.
A group of civil and military officials had joy on their faces, and anyone could tell that the Western Kingdom was over.
The Western Army lost so many troops and horses, and was no longer able to confront Gan Chao.
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world has had conflicts and heroes, and the history of division has finally ended.
Everyone was inspired in their hearts and realized that a powerful, unified dynasty was about to take the stage of history, and they were all members of this powerful dynasty.
Gao Huan was also very excited, but in addition to being happy, what should the trapped hundreds of thousands of Western troops have to be solved as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, all the elite troops of the Western Army have been lost in this battle, and the world will be unified!" Many officials were excited and praised Gao Huan.
Gao Huan waved his hand, "In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, Zhao soldiers lost 400,000 yuan, but Qin still took a lot of effort to destroy Zhao. Zhang Xianzhong was not dead, so my dear friends still cannot relax. At present, one is to disarm the hundreds of thousands of Western troops, and the other is to rush the remaining brave men to pursue the enemy, collect the southwest prefectures and counties, and completely eliminate the Western countries."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Song Xiance and others nodded one after another. Gao Huan was as prestige as he could, and everything he said was right.
At this time, more than 200,000 Western troops were trapped on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River without knowing their generals.
The Western Army was surrounded by the Gan Army on three sides. Now it either swims across the Xiangjiang River or surrenders to the Ganguo.
One day and one night, the Western Army defeated the troops, without dripping water and grains of rice, hunger and cold torture their will, and the defeated troops completely lost their fighting spirit.
However, their weapons and armor have not been handed over yet. If a riot occurs, it will be a problem for the Ganjun.
At this time, among the dense crowd, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu changed the armor of ordinary soldiers, and a group of loyal guards were separated from the defeated soldiers to prevent the two from being exposed.
Zhang Xianzhong sat on the ground, with his hair disheveled, and looked depressed. He didn't expect that he would be surrounded by the army and would soon become Gao Huan's captive.
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's shame, Liu Wenxiu comforted him: "Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of prisoners, Gao Huan doesn't know that His Majesty is here. As long as we hide our identities, we still have a chance to escape."
Xu Yixian said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is right. Gao Huan will not keep so many prisoners. He will probably pay a travel fee, dismiss the prisoners, or transfer them to the military farm. In this way, Your Majesty will still have the opportunity to escape from the country and return to the Great West!"
At this time, several people were comforting Zhang Xianzhong, and the military's surrender to the Western Army had already begun.
Gao Huan's method is very simple, which is to stew meat in a large pot, steam the rice, hand over the weapons and surrender, and then start the meal immediately.
A scent of fragrance came, and the soldiers of the Western Army who had been hungry for a day immediately stretched their necks to watch.
