Chapter 475
On the nameless hill near the Biti Pavilion, as Li Benshen surrendered, the Qing army above gradually gave up resistance.
These Qing troops were not so loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but their loyal rivals were their respective commanders.
The new army uses the feelings of family and country and national righteousness to unite the soldiers, so that millions of troops can unite into one heart.
The old-style army mainly relies on brotherly loyalty and the Lord General to give me food, and to be better than others to maintain the loyalty of subordinates.
The former is a small pawn who can be willing to obey orders and die under the inspiration of family and country feelings and national justice, while the latter is obviously able to maintain the loyalty of a small number of soldiers.
Of course, loyalty maintained by righteousness can still make the loyal people die for the sake of the Lord.
Most of the remaining Qing army soldiers on the hills were Li Benshen's servants and guardians. They were loyal subordinates who were maintained by loyalty and treatment higher than ordinary soldiers and were loyal to them.
This is also the reason why the Qing army was able to resist tenaciously after retreating to the hill. However, as soon as Li Benshen surrendered, the Qing army on the hill lost the reason to continue to resist and abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The sword that was cut off stopped above Li Benshen's head, scaring him to sweat coldly, and hurriedly said: "Li Benshen, the general of the Central Army of Xuzhou Town, Yuanda Ming, is willing to surrender to General Zhao!"
After retracting the sword, Ding Weiyue grabbed Li Benshen and pushed him behind him, shouting angrily, "Tie it!"
At this time, the Ming soldiers looked at the Qing soldiers kneeling on the hills, raised their spears and swords, and forced more than a thousand Qing soldiers to one place, crowded together.
Although the Qing army vanguard was a Green Camp, they were elite soldiers in the Green Camp. In addition, the advantageous terrain caused the Ming army to suffer in the attack on the hilltops and killed hundreds of brothers.
The Ming soldiers with red eyes looked at the Qing army captives gathered in the same place with panic, Xie Qian suddenly roared, "Kill!"
The Ming soldiers immediately raised their spears, picked up muskets, and stabbed them into the unarmed prisoner. In an instant, they stabbed the Qing army that abandoned their weapons into a hole.
The angry Ming soldiers stabbed the guns, then pulled the guns and stabbed them again, and assassinated them in one poop. The Qing army, who had no fighting spirit, all became lambs to be slaughtered.
Since you choose to resist stubbornly, you must pay a heavy price. This is the rule of the battlefield.
Li Benshen was held down by two Ming army soldiers and knelt on the ground. He saw his subordinates in pain that he was massacred by the Ming army, and his heart was cut off.
"Hmph! They were all killed by you!" At some point, Zhao Ming had already climbed the mountain and snorted coldly.
Li Benshen regretted it. When he heard the sound, he saw Zhao Ming wearing silver armor and pressing the sword. He immediately cried bitterly and said, "Please let the brothers go, this is the fault of the generals of sin. The generals of sin are willing to die for the generals of the generals, please give them kindness!"
Li Benshen opened the Ming army soldiers, knocked on the ground with his head, his face was covered in blood, and he begged repeatedly.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming was silent for a long time before waved his hand, "Stop!"
When the Ming general heard the order, he hurriedly stopped the soldiers. The Ming soldiers pulled back the spear, gun stabbed, and sword that stabbed the prisoners into their bodies, and slowly stepped on the bodies and retreated. Most of the Qing prisoners had been killed, leaving only three or four hundred and four hundred Qing soldiers who were panicked and mentally collapsed.
At this time, cheers in the wild sounded, and the Ming soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison, "Wan Sheng!"
Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers raised their hands high, then put them down, cheering, "Onboard! General on board!"
As the soldiers around him cheered, Li Benshen continued to kowtow to Zhao Ming, "The sinner thanked the general for his kindness!"
Li Benshen is Gao Jie's nephew, and is another branch of Xuzhou Town. He is also a powerful general who has left his name in history and is not inferior to Li Chengdong's ability.
After Gao Jie's death, Xuzhou Town surrendered to the Qing army and was active on the stage of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The generals of Xuzhou Town eventually embarked on different paths.
Li Chengdong, Li Yuanyin, Yan Keyi and others opposed Qingming and were killed in the end.
Li Benshen participated in the Three Feudal Rebellion and fought against the Qing Dynasty with Wu Sangui. After the Qing army captured Guiyang, he was buried in the market and his relatives were beheaded.
Of course, not all Xuzhou towns were on the road of anti-Qing. At the same time, Hu Maozhen, Gao Jinku and others from Xuzhou towns were loyal to the Qing Dynasty. The last one was the admiral of Huguang and the other was the assistant general of the commander-in-chief.
From this battle of soldiers, each person's different endings can also see the changes in the entire era of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "I am a general of the Ming Dynasty. I will give you a chance and leave it to listen."
At this moment, the Ming army counted the remaining prisoners and found Gao Jie's son Gao Yuanzhao, as well as several other generals from Xuzhou Town.
"The general, most of the 10,000 Qing army vanguards, were killed. The young troops fled north, and there were only so many people left!" Xie Qian said excitedly.
There were countless brothers in Shandong and Liaodong guards who died under the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army. Xie Qian finally vented his anger today.
Ding Weiyue said: "Master, Ma Guanghui ran away!"
Zhao Ming heard the words, but smiled and said, "He can't run away!"
In order to quickly defeat the Qing army guarding the mountain, Zhao Ming attacked on three sides, and only released a small number of troops and horses to attack on the other side. The purpose was to avoid the Qing army fighting to trap beasts, leave a way out for the Qing army, let them rush down the hill and then ambush them.
Zhao Ming had ambushed more than a thousand ambushers on the way to escape north by the Qing army. This time he would definitely be able to capture Ma Guanghui, the grandson.
After saying that, Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "Hong Chengchou is still attacking Yu Guowang and Lin Qingzhi, you lead the Korean army to clear the battlefield. The rest of the troops will immediately go down the mountain to complete the team and follow our commander to reinforce the Horseshoe Pavilion."
At that moment, the Ming army left behind the Korean Marshal Lin Qingzhi to harvest the heads, collect scattered weapons, and take care of the wounded. The Ming army quickly assembled. Zhao Ming led two thousand cavalry to gallop forward, with Japanese soldiers carrying flags behind them and Ming soldiers carrying muskets following the running.
The army walked less than ten miles, and a cavalry of more than a thousand people in front of us were greeted by the Ming cavalry that had set up an ambush in advance.
Luo Wenyao galloped in front of Zhao Ming, tied the reins of the horse, and then threw a large-tied Qing general from the horse's back. It was the escaped horse Guanghui.
"Master, Bei Yi set up an ambush here, and used a tripping rope to trip this guy and capture him!" Luo Wenyao hugged his fists, then pointed to the head hanging on the saddle of the cavalry behind him, and said proudly: "The rest of the Qing soldiers were all killed by Bei Yi!"
When Li Benshen saw the tied Ma Guanghui, he suddenly clasped his fists and begged: "Master, Jiu will have an uninvited request. Please ask the Ji General to kill the thief with his hands."
Zhao Ming pondered for a moment when he heard the word, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but the head must be pickled, sent to Hangzhou, and handed over to Duke Yue!"
When Ma Guanghui heard the words of the two, he immediately struggled, but he had no choice but to tie up his whole body and his mouth was blocked with rags. He could only make an anxious whine, and the general idea was that Ma was willing to surrender.
