Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 47 Formation and surrender!

With an unshakable momentum, a thousand infantrymen of the Longxing Army slammed into the line of soldiers and horses in Lvpai Village.

Following the sound of fighting, it took almost only one round, and Long Xingjun made the soldiers and horses of Lvpai village suffer a lot.

Woohoo!

Then came another blast of horns!

Xu Da's [-] cavalry rushed out from the side and back, bypassed the battle formation, and went straight to the rear of Lvpai Village.

Two hundred cavalry were like sharp-edged spears, easily piercing through the flank of Lvpai Village.

Behind the soldiers and horses in the donkey brand village, they were immediately exposed to danger!
"what?!"

Zhai advocate Niankun was shocked when he saw this, and an ominous premonition also rose in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang led the army forward slowly. According to Zhu Han's instructions, the striker Xu Da will lure Lvpaizhai to send troops with inferior forces, and then beat them slightly to let Lvpaizhai know how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army is.

Later, when the main force of Zhu Yuanzhang's army arrived, Lvpaizhai would definitely be scared to death, and he only needed to send someone to recruit him, and he would definitely be able to take it under his command.

He looked up at the sun, and it was almost the appointed time.

"Prepare..."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his arms and was about to order the whole army to speed up when he suddenly saw a group of cavalry holding high flags appearing in front of them.

He immediately stopped his voice and looked up.

"Seven five?"

When these cavalry came to the front, it turned out that Zhu Han led his personal guards and ran back, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help wondering.

"Why did you run back, but the battle is not good?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being a little worried. Could it be that the donkey brand village is so strong that Xu Da suffered a disadvantage?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Han shook his head, "Brother, there is no disadvantage, but it went too smoothly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Facing the inquiry from his older brother Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han spread his hands and said.

"Brother, the donkey brand village can't help but fight. We just charged, and the village advocated Nian Kun was captured alive. More than 3000 people immediately surrendered in defeat."

"What? More than 3000 people have all surrendered?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was surprised.

The two brothers planned for a long time, and they did the calculations, but they didn't count on Lvpaizhai being so lax.

"Well, they all surrendered. I have asked Xu Da to take over the camp there. Brother, let's go!" Zhu Han said.

The [-] soldiers and horses in Lvpai Village were basically young and strong without much training. The main elite among them were forced to surrender immediately after the village owner was captured alive by Xu Da, and the rest of the young and strong peasants had no fighting spirit.

Zhu Han simply led people to rush up to reveal the identity of the Haozhou Red Scarf Army.

More than 3000 soldiers and horses all surrendered immediately.

"Haha, great, let's go now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and led the soldiers and horses forward rapidly.

When he and Zhu Han arrived outside Lvpai Village, they saw a crowd of more than 3000 people, all gathered in the open space outside Lvpai Village, and the flag of the Rebel Army hung high on the wall of Lvpai Village.

"The Marshal is here!"

Xu Da came out leading the forward soldiers and horses.

"Where is the donkey brand village master?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.

Immediately, Niankun, the leader of the Lvpa village who was tied up by Wuhuada, was brought over.

At this time, Zhang Niankun was already downcast, looking like he was being bullied.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and gave an order.

"Untie!"

Several soldiers untied Zhang Niankun's rope.

"A villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, it's a death penalty!" Zhang Niankun fell to his knees with a plop, changed his dead dog appearance and began to plead guilty.

Zhu Han was delighted when he saw this, it was obvious that the owner of the donkey brand had regained his energy after seeing the hope of survival.

"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, led the righteous soldiers and killed the Tartars. If we don't kill our Han people, as long as Zhaizhu Zhang is willing to surrender, he will be his brother!"

Zhu Yuanzhang helped Zhang Niankun up.

"Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Dazed Zhang Niankun realized at this time that the person in front of him turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang, Marshal of the Rebel Army who shocked Haozhou.

"That's right, we are Zhu Yuanzhang!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Seeing this, Zhang Niankun wished he could slap himself with two big mouths immediately.

If I knew it was Zhu Yuanzhang, how could I dare to stop him!

It is said that the huge city of Haozhou was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang in two days, and Dalu Huachi Timur's tens of thousands of soldiers were also killed and scattered.

This donkey brand village of mine, wouldn't Zhu Yuanzhang destroy it with a flick of a finger!
"The villain is blind, if he had known that it was Marshal Zhu, he would have come out of the village and surrendered!" Zhang Niankun said loudly.

"So, are you willing to surrender?" Zhu Han asked directly.

Seeing Zhu Han's question, Zhang Niankun nodded quickly, "Yes, yes!"

Although he didn't know Zhu Han's identity, but in the battle just now, it was this young man who was giving orders from the rear, and now he was standing next to the commander-in-chief Zhu Yuanzhang, so he must be a big shot in the rebel army.

"Haha, okay, we are ready to lead the army to fight in Dingyuan. With the brothers from Lvpaizhai joining us, we will definitely win a big victory!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Yes, yes, Marshal!" Zhang Niankun said with a smile.

Zhu Han glanced at Zhang Niankun, and suddenly said.

"I think Zhaizhu Zhang is injured, so he is definitely not suitable for marching and fighting. Brother, why don't you send someone to send Zhaizhu Zhang's family back to Haozhou to recuperate!"

Hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood the meaning.

This Zhang Niankun is the head of the donkey brand village, and now the three thousand soldiers and horses have basically been subdued. If he is still in the army, there must be many old troops who have other ideas. It is better to send him back to Haozhou.

"Haha, what my brother said makes sense. Zhaizhu Zhang is seriously injured. It's better to go to Haozhou to recuperate!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

When Zhang Niankun heard it, he also knew that he had to go to Haozhou.

If he insisted on not leaving, not to mention that the swords and guns had no eyes on the battlefield, it was very likely that Marshal Zhu would take care of him.

"The villain, Marshal Xie, has great kindness and great virtue, and I will never forget it!" Zhang Niankun quickly agreed.

Zhang Niankun is extremely upright.

Not only did he agree, but he also helped Marshal Zhu introduce a group of dispatches from the old ministry. As for some of the nephews and nephews of the Zhang family who acted as leaders, they all took them to Haozhou City.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with him.

Allow him to take all the gold, silver and jewelry from Lvpaizhai to become a rich man in Haozhou City.

With the surrender of the three thousand donkey brand villages, the strength of Zhu Yuanzhang's army has greatly increased.

He intends to practice the three thousand soldiers and horses in Lupai Village for ten days and a half months, and then continue to attack Dingyuan in the south.

However, after Zhu Han knew about it, he suggested to go south immediately without wasting time.

"Brother, why is this? Didn't you tell us that soldiers are expensive? How can you be good if you don't train soldiers?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously.

"Brother, the situation is different now. We already have enough troops in our headquarters. The [-] surrendered troops can be used at will. The main force of the battle still depends on our Longxing pro-army. The most important thing is time. We fight in surprise attacks. Let the Dingyuan Tartars have no chance to mobilize reinforcements," Zhu Han said.

"Okay, then let's listen to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered to disperse and reorganize the surrendered troops from the [-] donkey villages, and mix them into the original army commander.
