- In the valley.
The sentry cavalry scattered for several miles, and the mountain search team was also sent to the mountains along the way to search for the enemy.
Suddenly, I saw thousands of enemy infantry, laying down their weapons and sitting in front, and some enemy generals were kneeling in the road tied with thorns.
A sentry cavalry ran tentatively and asked, "Who is in front?"
The general stood up on his knees, and replied loudly: "The guilty general congratulates Jiuyi, and leads all the troops to kneel to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Wu!"
"You come with me, and the others are not allowed to move!" Said the sentinel.
In the past two days, the enemy's grain transporters have escaped seven or eighty-eight. Since the food and grass could not be taken away, some of Zhang Xianzhong's generals burned some.
Regardless of whether Zhang Xianzhong left with the cavalry, this battle was already impossible to fight.
It is said that there are tens of thousands of elite infantry, but only 10,000 to 20,000 can actually fight. The main reason is that Zhang Xianzhong's troops have expanded too much. Moreover, most of the new troops that have been trained in the past year have not been allocated land. They are more like farming soldiers, and they have to farm the land to pay rent when they are not fighting.
With such an army, it is okay to fight with the wind, but it may be defeated at any time when it is fought against the wind.
?After more than half a month of continuous siege, soldiers were lost and morale plummeted.
Zhao Han led his troops in pursuit all the way. Not only did a large number of civilian husbands flee, but Zhang Xianzhong's infantry also fled one after another.
At this moment, a large-scale surrender team finally appeared.
He Jiuyi was escorted in front of Zhao Han, knelt down and said, "The guilty general, He Jiuyi, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Wu!"
Zhao Han asked, "Where are you from?"
"The criminal's ancestral home is Yunyang." He Jiuyi replied.
"Isn't Zhang Xianzhong from the old camp?" Zhao Han asked again.
He Jiuyi replied: "Report to the King of Wu that the guilty general was originally a good citizen of Yunyang. He could read a few words after reading for a few days. Because he could not be exploited by the government and Zhang Xianzhong led troops to kill him, the guilty general volunteered to serve in the army. After Zhang Xianzhong became entrenched in Hubei, in order to win over the locals and check and balance the veteran generals, he continued to promote the positions of criminal generals."
"I see." Zhao Han understood Zhang Xianzhong's approach very well, because Zhao Han himself was also promoting officers who were not from Jiangxi.
He Jiuyi said: "The 6,000 infantry under the command of the sinful general are mostly sergeants in the field. There are only a thousand soldiers who have not done too many evil things. I implore the King of Wu to be magnanimous. The sinful general does not ask for anything else, but to be dismissed and return to the field as a farmer. "
"Who is the commander of the infantry left behind by Zhang Xianzhong?" Zhao Han asked.
He Jiuyi said: "The commander's name is Wang Fuchen. He is from Shaanxi. He has been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong for ten years. According to the criminal general's guess, all the soldiers who came out of the valley in front of us are suspicious soldiers. The real elite infantry have been led by Wang Fuchen to cross the north. At this time, most of them are rushing to cross the Qishui River in the direction of Liuhe Town."
"I'm afraid they won't go there." Zhao Han laughed.
There are 3,000 peasants and soldiers in Taihu County. They entered the mountain from Huating Lake and started along the valley road between the mountains. They were already stuck in the narrow valley formed by the Qishui River.
It is best that Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry can also go there to approach the elite infantry. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the northern passage was blocked, leaving only a gap in the west. Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry had already rushed over, and Zhao Han's army could encircle them as soon as they arrived.
Zhao Han ordered: "I'll give you a chance to pay off your merits."
He Jiuyi was overjoyed: "Please show me, the king of Wu, the crime will definitely be death!"
Zhao Han said: "You still take your soldiers with you, and your weapons will not be confiscated. Display the banner of the Datong Army, no looting is allowed, gather routs along the way, and persuade the enemy who has not fled yet to surrender!"
"yes!"
He Jiuyi kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhao Han was not afraid of He Jiuyi's rebellion. The more soldiers he recruited, the less effective he would be in commanding.
?If the strength of the army should be reduced to 20,000 to 30,000, it would be difficult for He Jiuyi to command and march.
Han Xin sent more soldiers, the more the better, not everyone can be Han Xin.
Immediately, Zhao Han speeded out of the mountain with the army, and He Jiuyi ran forward to recruit the miscellaneous soldiers.
After leaving the mountains, He Jiuyi had 30,000 soldiers under his command, including a large number of civilians. Don't talk about commanding operations, the marching is messy, divided into more than a dozen small groups, just walking with He Jiuyi, only hoping that the logistics of the Datong Army will send food to eat.
When he came to the plains, He Jiuyi sent out his own generals to temporarily act as officers of the surrendered troops, at least able to command more than 10,000 people.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry tried to sneak attack our troops besieging Qishui City. After being discovered by our sentry ship, the sneak attack was fruitless and the attack was powerless, and it has disappeared without a trace. The defenders of Qishui County surrendered, and our army has occupied it. Qishui County."
This is ap; These fleeing enemies have lost their organizational system, and it is impossible to gather together into an army. Most of them are bandits with dozens or hundreds of people.
After Zhao Han took over the territory, he had to organize peasants and soldiers to suppress the bandits, otherwise the banditry would be very serious.
?The enemy commander Wang Fuchen was chased away by Li Zheng. He collapsed from exhaustion after running for several miles, and was finally captured alive by Datong soldiers by the Datong Lake in the west of Datong Town.
So far, Zhang Xianzhong's Southern Route Army infantry was wiped out, leaving only cavalry and cavalry.
Those guys followed the river valley and plundered all the way to Yingshan County.
Yingshan County is in the Dabie Mountains, and it is also Zhang Xianzhong's territory. Cavalry and horse teams can replenish food and grass here, and then continue to flee along the valley.
It was difficult for Zhao Han to catch up, and it was also difficult for Zhang Xianzhong to get out of the mountain.
Zhao Han simply didn't bother to take care of it anymore, and dispatched civilians to build temporary camps to block the way out at the main mountain passes, and then sent farmers and soldiers to garrison in the camps.
As for the main force, attack the cities along the way in an all-round way.
When the news of Zhang Xianzhong's defeat came, the prefectural and county towns under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou Prefecture almost all surrendered in anticipation.
Since you can't catch Zhang Xianzhong, just take all his territory!
(Ask for a monthly pass.)
