I want to be emperor

Chapter 48 Who is the soldier and who is the thief
The soldiers of the Ming army in front of the battle were shot twice, and more than half of them were killed or injured on the spot in a dense formation.

Baiyu County bravely suffered intensive arrow rain, and none of these people wore armor. Once they were shot by arrows, they would be casualties. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the casualties were heavy.

Under such circumstances, there was no need for Fei Bingqing's order, and he was already crying and screaming, crawling and running outside.

Seeing that the Ming army fled, Luo Zhixue took a quick look at the situation on the battlefield, and resolutely ordered Ernst and Young's troops to pursue them on horseback.

In this valley, it is impossible for the cavalry to charge on a large scale, but the terrain here is fairly flat. Even if the cavalry cannot charge, they can still follow up on horseback and continue shooting with bows and arrows.

The most important thing is that the opponent's formation has completely collapsed, and it would be a shame not to chase a wave at this time.

Ever since, Fei Bingqing saw a scene that was even more surprising and made him even more desperate.

On the opposite side, a group of cavalry rushed out, not only in twenty or thirty cavalry, but also many of these cavalry rode their horses in pursuit and shot arrows directly on their horses.

At this moment, Fei Bingqing's mind was empty...

I just went into the mountains to grab some food, why did I meet the elite backbone of bandits with artillery and cavalry...

If he knew that there were dozens of fine cavalry and cannons in the bandit army ahead, Fei Bingqing would be out of his mind to fight these bandits...

For a while, Fei Bingqing was puzzled: God doesn't have eyes today?Don't play with me like this!
Also, where did this elite bandit come from?

He has seen a lot of bandit soldiers, and he has seen a lot of bandit soldiers on horseback, but he has not seen many bandit soldiers who are able to shoot arrows on horseback and are so proficient in riding and archery. The second time is basically encountering the backbone old thieves under the command of those big thieves.

Because basically only those famous and well-known big thief leaders will have such elite old thieves under their hands.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for such elite old thieves to appear in such a poor place as Funiu Mountain.

However, it just appeared!
Could it be that the thieves found in Funiu Mountain didn't escape?still here?
But it's not right, he personally followed Huang Guangmao all the way to chase those thieves westward.

Now Fei Bingqing's mind is empty, and he has no idea why this situation happened.

Fei Bingqing was stunned for a while, but the other Ming soldiers outside the valley were not.

These Ming soldiers saw the collapse ahead, and saw the enemy rushing out of a group of cavalry, one counted as one, and they all knew that the matter was serious.

If this is not fast enough, maybe I have to explain it here today.

People with flexible minds have already started to turn around and run away. If they don't run now, is it possible that they have to wait for the rout soldiers in front to run back and be chased by the bandit cavalry before they run?

Even those who didn't run away are in a panic now and don't know what to do.

At this time, Fei Bingqing's personal soldiers stepped forward: "Du Si, this matter is beyond our control, we should make a quick decision!"

Decide on what?
Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone knew what this person meant: run away!

Fei Bingqing also reacted at this time, realizing that the situation had become extremely dangerous, and if it dragged on, the cavalry would have chased and killed them all the way to the front.

As for resistance?
He also thought about it, but the routs in front were chaotic, and the people behind him were useless even if they formed an array, and the safekeeping would be dispersed by the routs in front.

Furthermore, dozens of cavalry have rushed out of the bandit army in front, which means that there will definitely be the main force of the bandit army behind.

When the main force of the thieves comes out, it is also a dead word.

Therefore, resistance is impossible, and the only way to survive is to escape.

Immediately waved his hand: "Withdraw!"

After speaking, he took his soldiers and started to run away.

However, he couldn't escape in the end.

An Yongduo and the others chased them all the way on horseback. The rout soldiers in the front didn't have the guts to resist at all, and they didn't even dare to block the road. After seeing the cavalry behind rushing up, some of them continued to run forward foolishly, and were caught An Yongduo and these cavalrymen hacked to death directly.

However, some smart people retreated towards the sides of the road and voluntarily gave way to the road.

So Ernst and the others chased them all the way, and they didn't encounter any actual resistance at all, and the other party even took the initiative to give way.

Seeing this, An Yongduo simply gritted his teeth, led his cavalry to continue charging forward, and went straight to Fei Bingqing.

He wants to kill the generals of the officers and soldiers directly!
Before they got close, An Yongduo waited for the cavalry to bow their bows and set arrows on their horses...

The soldiers who followed Fei Bingqing didn't walk for long before they were shot and fell down one by one.

Seeing this, Fei Bingqing knew he couldn't escape.

With a look of despair on his face, he gritted his teeth and looked at the bandit cavalry who were getting closer, tightly holding the waist knife in his hand.

He was hesitating whether he wanted to commit suicide like those predecessors. As the capital of the government and army, he absolutely could not fall into the hands of the bandits.

But, the waist knife in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible for him to lift it.

A few seconds later, An Yongduo had led the cavalry to surround Fei Bingqing and other four or five people directly. At this time, Er Yongduo said: "The surrender will not be killed!"

Qiqi, the only remaining soldiers around Fei Bingqing, looked at Fei Bingqing.

The bandit cavalry had already stepped forward and aimed at them with their bows and arrows. If Fei Bingqing came to resist, they would shoot arrows directly.

How to do?
Fei Bingqing closed his eyes at this moment!

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, he finally dropped the waist knife in his hand!

I am definitely not because I want to live, but because I want to give the soldiers under my command a way out. They are all my old brothers who have been with me for many years. I must not drag them to the way of death just because I want to be righteous.

You have to be responsible to them!
Not bad!

I surrendered for the sake of the soldiers!
It is naturally impossible for others that Fei Bingqing has so much drama in his heart, and his soldiers were also relieved to see Fei Bingqing surrendered.

The cavalry had already surrounded them. As long as Fei Bingqing said no, the bandit cavalry would shoot arrows immediately.

They'll be shot into a hornet's nest!

Although Fei Bingqing didn't say surrender directly, he threw the knife directly, which is already a clear statement of surrender.

Immediately, these soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down one by one, and one of them shouted: "We surrendered, surrendered!"

An Yongduo snorted coldly at this time, and waved his hand to let his subordinates confiscate their weapons.

After capturing Fei Bingqing and the others, An Yongduo was not idle, and led his men to kill them in the back, and there were still many scattered officers and soldiers deserting behind.

Ernst & Young was so anxious just now that he didn't have time to talk to them.

When An Yongduo led the cavalry back to kill, Luo Zhixue had also personally led the infantry to attack, but they no longer needed to fight and kill, what they needed to do was to capture the prisoners one by one.

It is wrong to say that they should be arrested, because many soldiers of the Ming army did not need to be arrested. They had already thrown away their weapons and knelt on the ground in advance, shouting for mercy.

Luo Zhixue and these thieves don't even need the help of the ropes, just let the officers and soldiers tie each other with their belts.

After capturing almost all the prisoners, Luo Zhixue ordered people to clean up the battlefield and collect all kinds of weapons and luggage left by the Ming army.

At this time, Luo Zhixue also saw Fei Bingqing who was pushed up by Ernst & Young.

Luo Zhixue took a good look at this person. He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, estimated to be in his 40s or [-]s. He was wearing a middle coat, his hair was a little messy, and his hands were tied behind his back.

Er Yongduo stepped forward: "Sir, this is the leader of the attacking officers and soldiers!"

This man was still wearing armor before, but after being captured, the scale armor on his body was ripped off by Ernst on the spot.

This kind of high-quality iron armor is a good thing, and it can only be captured when officers and soldiers are captured. Ordinary Ming soldiers will not have such good things on them.

After Luo Zhixue looked Fei Bingqing up and down, he was not interested in talking directly with Fei Bingqing. He just nodded slightly and said to An Yongduo: "Take him down for interrogation, and find out the situation of the enemy army."

Luo Zhixue didn't like to recruit enemy generals on the spot, nor did he like to kill surrendered generals directly, but he was interested in asking more about the situation of the Ming army from this person.

This Ming army will not appear in Songshan Village for no reason, there must be a reason behind it.

Now Luo Zhixue wanted to know the reason.

At the same time, Luo Zhixue wanted to know whether this person led the attack on Funiu Mountain was an independent event, or whether this person was just the forward of the Ming army, and there were more main forces of the Ming army on the way.

Not long after, An Yongduo came back again: "Sir, I have personally interrogated this person. This person is a sentry officer under Huang Guangmao's command. His name is Fei Bingqing. This person was ordered by Huang Guangmao to act as a forward to march into our Funiu Mountain of."

Ernst and Young said: "And Huang Guangmao is the capital under Chen Zhibang's command. Before that, he led troops to garrison near Luyang Pass. This time the officers and soldiers entered the mountain. It was Huang Guangmao and Lushan County Magistrate Wang Jida who led the team."

"They led three hundred soldiers, five hundred county warriors, and hundreds of civilians into the mountain. They were the ones who ran after the general before. After the general got rid of them, these people returned east. On the way, Huang Guangmao let Fei Bingqing Lead fifty soldiers, more than a hundred county braves as vanguards, and enter Funiu Mountain one step ahead of time to find out the reality of our Funiu Mountain, survey the terrain, and open up the passage for the army."

Under Chen Zhibang?
Hearing this, Luo Zhixue was not surprised why Huang Guangmao led his troops to Funiu Mountain.

This is not surprising, but Luo Zhixue still remembers that when they broke out from Henan Mansion and entered Ruzhou all the way, they were intercepted by officers and soldiers led by Chen Zhibang himself. When officers, soldiers and cavalry intercepted, Li Tonglin was killed on the spot, and dozens of rebel soldiers were killed or injured.

Of the nearly 200 bandit cavalry, only No. 67 was left to break through the encirclement smoothly, and finally went to Funiu Mountain to recuperate.

Chen Zhibang is currently stationed in Ruzhou. After discovering that there are bandits in Funiu Mountain, it is normal to send Huang Guangmao to suppress the bandits.

After hearing this, Luo Zhixue thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Didn't Huang Guangmao's troops be lured away by Sun Chengli's troops? Why did they come back again? Could it be that we didn't run away at all?"

Ernst and Young said: "That's not the case. Fei Bingqing explained that they didn't even know that we were still in Funiu Mountain. They thought we had already gone to Song County and Lu's area. The reason why they entered the mountain again was that They came here to rob the villages in the mountains for food."

Hearing this, Luo Zhixue was speechless!
The officers and soldiers came to Funiu Mountain for the second time with great fanfare, not to destroy the rebels like themselves, but to loot the food of the villages in the mountain...

But these rebels themselves fought a battle to protect the villages and officers and soldiers.

No matter how you think about it, it feels so strange...

Because Luo Zhixue was confused by the operations of the Ming army, who are the officers and soldiers and who are the bandits?
