Almost many people on the battlefield saw the hero of this man galloping and bravely heading for the enemy.

Behind Lu Xiangsheng was a team of more than 100 personal soldiers and Need Ding. Everyone was inspired by Lu Xiangsheng and rushed behind him without hesitation.

At this time, the Ming army's array had almost completely collapsed, and many cavalrymen fled directly from the left wing. A small number of elite soldiers who were originally guarding Xinping Fort also threw away their weapons and armor, turned around and fled.

Most of them go west, and a small number escape east or north. In short, the first thing is to get out of the battlefield in front of you.

Lu Xiangsheng emerged from a new army and moved in the opposite direction. His tragic and heroic sense and integrity displayed were moving.

Zhang Han saw the enemy tower on the castle and quickly said, "Send someone out of the castle to send an order. Lu Xiangsheng is not allowed to kill him, so he will capture him alive!"

Wang Changfu looked at everything under his feet with a complicated expression. Sun Yao had been in the Staff Office, and many people were not relieved to command such a critical war. Before the fight, Wang Changfu once suggested that Zhang Han send Wang Yikui, Li Laibin, or Li Chongye to command, which would make people feel more relieved.

But Zhang Han rejected this suggestion. Now it seems that Wang Changfu feels that he is far worse than the adult in front of him.

Sun Yao seems to be meticulous and smart, but in fact he has a sense of persistence in his heart and has the courage to give it a try at critical moments.

The battle under the city seems to be very smooth, and the Ming army is defeated by cutting melons and vegetables, but in fact the winner is equal. If the Ming army is brave enough to attack, cut off the momentum of the mines column's pounce, and then use the advantageous cavalry to constantly detour and harass, the victory or defeat is unpredictable and may be a battle.

If the right-wing cavalry of the Ming army did not leave the infantry formation, then the left wing of the miners would not be able to pounce on them all at once, cut off the connection between the cavalry and the infantry formation, and at the same time, flying left and right, breaking down in the middle, the Ming army would suddenly fall into a state of collapse.

The winner was just a moment ago. Sun Yao dared to make a decision and felt very good on the battlefield. This battle outside Xinpingbao can be said to have laid the foundation for Sun Yao to become a famous general.

At this moment, Wang Changfu had to say that he was jealous first, then admired, and then couldn't arouse his desire to win. After all, he was just an old border army. When the Hutchison Merchant Army was still in its infancy, Wang Changfu's experience and experience were very important, becoming one of the cornerstones of the rise of the Merchant Army.

A few years later, the Shang army expanded repeatedly, and Wang Changfu's limited experience had long been completely absorbed by this emerging army. The Shang army had its own vitality and development rules, and gradually became a new army completely different from the Ming army, Mongolian army and Jurchen army.

Sun Yao and others are newcomers who are gradually growing up in this army. Their inexperience is like a piece of white paper, let Zhang Han smear, and they themselves are growing up in the merchant army. So from the perspective of realm, Wang Changfu knew that he had never caught up with him again.

Although he sighed that there were talented people in the country, the replacement of the Shang regiment army was too fast, but Wang Changfu still said loyally: "Sir, should you open the city and attack?"

Zhang Han looked at it and said with a smile: "There is no risk at all when attacking now, but there is no need. We will not compete with our subordinates for credit, so let them play."

"Yes, sir."

Wang Changfu agreed solemnly, calling for an order, preparing to send someone to pass Zhang Han's order, and not to kill Lu Xiangsheng, who was rushing left and right in the military formation.

But Zhang Han stopped him again, shook his head, and said, "No need..."

Lu Xiangsheng was extremely brave. His personal martial arts skills were extremely powerful. Almost no one was his enemy. After rushing hard, he killed many people. His subordinates also rushed to fight bravely, saving many trapped Ming troops in a short time.

Sun Yao discovered in time and secretly transferred several companies to intersperse on one side. When Lu Xiangsheng and others discovered it, it was too late. More than a dozen columns trapped the Ming civil servant and his subordinates in the formation. Then they fired muskets on several sides. The spearmen blocked the Ming army and the horse soldiers, and lined up to squeeze the Ming army together, fired another volley, and continued to squeeze. With the motivation of the victory, the miners' movements and tactics were quite proficient, which was exactly the same as the combat soldiers... Of course, if they were pure combat soldiers, the muskets on bayonets could have blocked Lu Xiangsheng and his group of men long ago and annihilated them.

After such round shots and spear squeezing and blocking, there were not many people around Lu Xiangsheng, but he was not afraid to retreat at all. The spear in his hand had broken, so he could only wave his sword, jump up, and continue to assault forward!

But Lu Xiangsheng was facing a column that evolved into a horizontal lineup. More than a hundred muskets had already been aimed at him. When the white horse leaped up and the red robe was waving, the gun sounded. Lu Xiangsheng was shot everywhere in his chest and arm, and blood was splattered and burst. Almost in an instant, the famous minister was shot to death on the spot. The leaping war horse was also shot by countless projectiles and fell down on the spot.

The war horse lay on his side, bleeding from his body, looking at the dying knight beside him with unwilling eyes. One man and one horse were quietly looking at each other on the noisy and chaotic battlefield, and soon stopped breathing.

Zhang Han didn't know what Lu Xiangsheng was thinking when he was dying, but he knew that this man died for his life and died for his lifelong belief and loyalty to the court. Although his death was against the will of heaven, it was still a valuable belief and persistence. Such a person is still worthy of respect even in a hostile camp!

Lu Xiangsheng also died in history by the Qing army who entered the pass, and led his troops to attack, which was extremely heroic. The ending of Xinpingbao was not accidental, but an inevitable part of his belief.

At this time, the situation was irreversible for the Ming army. A large number of defeated deserters and horses were like ants climbing around, without any organization or resistance. Among the crowd, only Hong Chengchou, wearing a big red official robe, was the most conspicuous. He was surrounded by dozens of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers. They broke west together and tried to escape from the battlefield.

But Sun Yao had just sent troops to kill Lu Xiangsheng, how could he let Hong Chengchou go at this time? A large number of columns surrounded the chaotic crowd, and had already vaguely surrounded Hong Chengchou in the formation.

Wang Changfu asked at this time: "If someone Hong is able to capture him alive, he will have a chance. What if he wishes?"

Zhang Han thought, but he quickly shook his head and rejected it!

Hong Chengchou was a capable person, and his talent was beyond words. He only promoted academic studies and military preparations, and then became a governor. He was promoted very quickly, with a shallow foundation and no reputation in the country. It was of little use to recruit scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to talent, Hutchison's system also requires talented people, but Hong obviously cannot adapt to this system in the short term and needs many years of integration. There is no high position in Hutchison's system for this person. Could it be that he invites him to be an old man?

Of course, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that Zhang Han has always hated this person!

Hong Chengchou was always cautious and did not dare to be an enemy of Heji. This is his cautiousness, but it has to be said that it makes sense. His subconscious mind is quite accurate. Zhang Han is indeed full of malice towards him. If it weren't for Heji that he could not show off at that time, and would have attracted too much attention and attention from the court, so as not to ruin the overall situation. Zhang Han would have sent someone to assassinate Hong Chengchou back then.

Zhang Han did not have much evaluation of Hong Chengchou, but his most fundamental evaluation was only four words: traitor and scum.

The only one who died in a difficult time in the ages. Even if Hong Chengchou surrendered, Zhang Han would not be too harsh. After all, it is not embarrassing to the West. However, after this person surrendered, he gave advice for Dorgon and tried his best. This should be damned. Later, he took charge of Nanjing and destroyed the resistance forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He spared no effort to unify the Qing court. His actions were simply outrageous.

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are more soldiers who have been killed or injured, and these ministers will not surrender."

Wang Changfu agreed deeply. After all, from Liaodong to other places, some military generals were running away and some surrendered, and there were very few civil servants who surrendered.

Lu Xiangsheng's decisive impact just now left a deep impression on people. As expected, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were still quite ethical.

"After a while, I will restrain the bodies of Ming soldiers and dig a mass pit in the south of the city for burial. The weather is still hot, so don't delay it." Zhang Han looked sad and happy. It has been ten years since the 45th year of Wanli. Today, there will be two famous officials who are famous in history books die at his own hands. I really don't know what to think.

"The generals above the Thousand Generals must identify their identities and buried them separately. Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were found to bury them with good coffins. I will attend the funeral in person. No matter what the camp is, such loyal ministers and righteous men are still worthy of respect."

The people present kept talking, not sure why Zhang Han had to arrange the enemy's funeral at this time.

And no matter what, Hong Chengchou was still rushing left and right under the city, and his subordinates were struggling to break through. Maybe he could really ask this person to run away. If he really left, the "funeral" arranged by Zhang Han here would be a bit funny.

Zhang Han looked at everyone and smiled and said, "I can't get rid of it. Sun Yao is very unhappy. He has arranged several people and must catch a big fish before he can feel at ease."

As Zhang Han expected, Sun Yao arranged more than a dozen lines of defense before and after Hong Chengchou and others, and even the large number of defeated Ming troops did not pursue. Zhang Han never encouraged beheading and meritorious work. Everything was based on whether the battle goal was achieved. For example, this time, the goal was to aid Xinpingbao and rescue Zhang Han himself. Under the big goal, how many small goals could be divided, such as killing or capturing Ming army members, capturing many soldiers, converting and using them, or relocating them to workers and peasants. The Military and Political Department and the Military Law Department both have detailed rules and regulations, and it is impossible to calculate the achievements of the generals with a simple head.

So the Ming army just ran away. Most of the infantry and cavalry like a tide ran eastward, and Sun Yao was too lazy to chase after him. There were no cavalry, no war soldiers, no baggage soldiers, engineering troops, and no logistics medical field hospital. It would be enough to take the mines to win this battle and lift the siege of Xinpingbao. If he led the mines to chase Yanghe all the way to Yanghe and seize Yanghe Acropolis while the Ming army was defeated, it might not be impossible to do it. Even if he took the chaos to fight Datong, he might have a chance. But Sun Yao would never do this, dyeing his robes red with the blood and lives of the soldiers. Such things would never be recognized in Hutchison. Instead, it would lower his image and affect Zhang Han's judgment of his personality talents. That was really a big loss.

Under the obstruction of multiple lines of defense, Hong Chengchou had fewer and fewer people around him, and he was becoming more and more frightened and scared.

If no one stopped him just now, it would be fine if he committed suicide. Now that he has aroused his desire to survive, he cannot break out. He feels so frustrated.
