Chapter 76 Surrender

"It's already won!" Wang Zhongfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air. He had been through the battle formation for a long time and naturally knew that under this situation, the regular army might have the possibility of adjusting its organization, but the Liu family army was already finished.

Meng Jiucheng nodded vigorously, pulled his horse to the artillery position, called Qian Bang, and asked him to take his men to wrap the cannons and shells tightly with tarpaulin, ready to go to the troops supporting the ambush.

The artillery made great contributions in the first battle, and the effect was unusually good. When Qian Bang and others saw Meng Jiucheng, others were happy. He also wanted to try his best to pretend to be reserved and calm, but his expression could not hide his complacent.

"What's the best fight just now? It's the first achievement of breaking the village. I hope you can be abstaining from arrogance and rest assured. In the future, the artillery will be expanded several times, dozens of times, but it depends entirely on you."

"General Xie praises, General Xie cultivates." Qian Bang and others' faces flashed with joy, and they hurriedly stopped again.

Meng Jiucheng comforted him a few more words of warmth and made his own suggestions for the bombardment just now, and then left with his personal guards.

The shouts of killing in the town spread deeply, and the captives in the group had begun to be escorted out by several Red Turban soldiers. Once the village was broken, most of the Liu family's desire for battle was destroyed. The Red Turban Army bravely pursued and killed several times the enemy did not dare to turn back to fight, and there was no suspense to victory.

This is a mob! Meng Jiucheng knew that Liu Wenzheng's men were not as good as the Red Coat Army. Although he was under the banner of the Red Coat Army, he had never experienced any battle formations. When recruiting soldiers and horses, most of them were people who were busy with wages and food. It was okay to say that if they won, they just fled.

Become a soldier and eat food?!Didn’t there be many troops like this in history until the 20th century?

Can the Red Turban Army surpass this level and become a brave and fearless iron army who knows why they fight? Meng Jiucheng hopes that this is the case and is constantly working hard for this.

Lingyang Town was already in chaos, and the Ximen was broken into pieces. The defeated soldiers fled in scattered. The panic spread rapidly, which hit the morale and will of other defenders. The Liu family army was not mentally prepared to engage in street battles in the town at all. The village walls were no longer a barrier, and the psychological blow to the soldiers was heavy and huge.

Of course, there were no officers from other areas who organized counterattacks, but people were panicked and the defeated soldiers were difficult to gather. After a short battle, there was a greater defeat. When other village gates were opened and the road to escape appeared, the Liu family army lacked the will to fight to the death and rushed to flee first.

The crying sounds in the Liu Mansion were already heard. Liu Wen was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and was snatched back by his confidant in a dusty face, but he was still unconscious. His family and servants listened to the shouts of killing outside, frightened, at a loss, and were in a mess.

"Young Master, Young Master--" The housekeeper beats his chest and stamps his feet, calling out to the dumbfounded Liu Hongjian.

With a round of eyes, Liu Hongjian finally woke up a little, turned his head slowly and looked at the butler.

"Young Master, you have to make an idea!" The housekeeper was almost crying, "There are more than 200 personal soldiers in the mansion. Should I guard or protect my family and break through?"

"Are you defeated?" Liu Hongjian asked blankly, and before the housekeeper answered, he sighed and shook his head dejectedly, "I didn't expect that so soon, there were village walls and firearms, and thousands of people could not hold on for a while."

The housekeeper grinned. Liu Hongjian didn't expect that Liu Wenzheng didn't expect that no one would have lost so quickly that he was not even prepared at all.

Uh, um! Liu Wenzheng on the bed suddenly made an intermittent sound. Liu Hongjian stood up, rushed over in two or three steps, pulled away the doctor, and looked at his slowly awakened father in sadness and joy.

Liu Wenzheng's eyes slowly opened and he looked at the person in front of him with difficulty.

"Father, you are a child!" Liu Hongjian held his father's hand and tears rolled down.

Liu Wenzheng blinked slowly and finally recognized his son. The corners of his mouth moved and asked in a vague voice: "Jian'er, what's going on outside?"

Liu Hongjian paused for a moment, lowered his head, tears fell, and choked and said, "Father, we are defeated, the enemy has rushed into the town."

Liu Wenzheng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his hands tightened suddenly as he grabbed his son. But then his fingers loosened again, his lips moved a few times, and he said, "Surrender, surrender."

Liu Hongjian was stunned for a moment, as if he was suspicious of his ears, and asked, "Father, what did you say?"

Liu Wenzheng stared at his eyes, took a heavy breath, and said anxiously: "For the sake of the Liu family, surrender, let's surrender. Hurry up, fight quickly, and shoot out the white flag."

"Baby, boy, I understand." Liu Hongjian realized that his father was pushing him, wiped his tears, got up and walked out.

…………………

The battle in the town came to an end, except for a large number of prisoners, all other enemies fled out of the town.

Meng Jiucheng did not go to the surrendered Liu family, but quickly rectified the troops, leaving Liu Zhongfeng and more than a thousand men to save the aftermath. He led Han Shouzhong and most of the artillery out of the south gate, walked along the main road, and rushed to meet with Xiao Ying's troops.

Shortly after breaking through the town, Meng Jiucheng had heard the explosion from afar and knew that the ambush had begun. Although he was confident in victory, he was still eager to know the result.

By the time we arrived seven or eight miles south of the town, the ambush had already ended successfully. The bombardment was blown up, the craters that were charred, the corpses on the ground and the dark red and purple colors, the scattered swords and guns, and a large group of prisoners were telling people about the battles that took place here and the fate of another enemy.

One thousand five to two thousand, prepared and a surprise attack, and there were throwing gunpowder thunder, bombardment of pine cannons, Xiao Ying and Zheng Si'an broke their tails, blocked their heads, and attacked both sides, and won cleanly.

Now, Liu Tingyu is left in the county town with less than a thousand troops. The Red Turban Army not only has powerful equipment, but also has an advantage in its military strength. The final victory is beyond doubt.

"Look, we are preparing, and the troops will be sent to the county town soon." Xiao Ying pointed to hundreds of soldiers who were changing clothes and said with a smile: "This is the idea of ​​your sixth master, let them take the lead and make a profit from the city."

"The Sixth Master is a masterpiece, better than Zhuge Zhiliang." Meng Jiucheng was quite surprised, paused for a moment, then gave Zheng Si'an a thumbs up in admiration.

Zheng Si'an smiled and said, "Just a trick. I've used it before. I've taken my brothers to capture Liangshan County! And, the key is that he-" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Hong Xi, I have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and I am willing to help our army capture the city."

"The villain Hong Xi, I can't stand the Liu family's excessive tax collection for a long time. Now I am willing to submit to the general and make meritorious contributions." Luo bowed with his crossed hands.

He looked just a strong man, but the most impressive thing was that when he bowed, he could see that there was a finger missing on his right hand.
Chapter completed!
