Chapter 1071: Ambush succeeded
Du Fuwei rushed to the Xicheng Gate, where many Jiangning troops were rushing to the city gate area, wanting to break out and fight for trapped beasts.
"Stop it, I am Du Fuwei!"
Du Fuwei roared out, assisted with his internal strength, shocked the scene, and all the soldiers fighting heard it.
"It's General Manager Du!"
"Mr. Du is here."
Some of the Jiangning Army were former subordinates of the Jianghuai Army, and the soldiers who came from Jiangbei had heard of Du Fuwei's reputation.
Therefore, as the roar spread, some soldiers did slow down their attacks, stopped, and looked around.
Du Fuwei and Xue Wanshu came with some people, the elite warriors were even more fierce, and the tiger and wolf warriors were powerless.
"Jiangning City has been taken down by the court, Fu Gong Tuo fled, Zuo Youxian was beheaded, the situation is over. You have Jiangbeierlang and Jiangnan people, and it is meaningful to resist here? Only by submitting to the court can our fellow villagers avoid the pain of war and have a full meal. Do you have to die here before you give up?"
Many soldiers from Jiangbei hesitated when they heard this, and then began to put down their weapons.
"Those who are willing to surrender to the court will not blame each other and retreat to the left." Xue Wanshu shouted loudly and began to divide.
Some soldiers from Jiangbei dropped their weapons and began to walk to the open space on the left, accepting surrender.
The remaining soldiers gradually decreased, two or three thousand, and only a few hundred were left.
The overall situation has been decided, and the remaining stubborn resisters have no confidence, and they have also begun to surrender in the face of the encirclement of the imperial soldiers.
"From now on, they will be the people of Dahua, and the court will not treat everyone harshly!" Xue Wanshu breathed a sigh of relief. Without fighting, there would be fewer casualties, and Jiangning City would be more stable.
When the army crossing the river arrived, there was no worries.
The surrendered army was temporarily escorted separately, and the Jiangbei army was soon re-controlled by Du Fuwei and was willing to follow him to continue the battle. The soldiers in Jiangning were all factions of Fu Gongtuo and could not be used for the time being.
Du Fuwei said to Xue Wanshu: "Before Fu Gongtuo leaves, he will definitely send someone to inform the garrison troops in the Stone City area and the defenders on the river beach. They will retreat to the southeast. If we go over to block, Shen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an and others will find it difficult to escape smoothly."
Xue Wanshu nodded and said, "This plan is good. A soldier is about to arrive in Jiangning City. It is the 20,000 troops led by Bing Yuanzhen. We can go over and block it."
"There are about 5,000 people from Jiangbei who can be used by me. I will take Ximen Junyi to help the battle and ambush the enemy!"
Xue Wanshu glanced at Du Fuwei. As a result, he was a little risky. If Du Fuwei suddenly turned against him, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
However, Xue Wanshu thought that Du Fuwei's family and tribe members were all in Jiangbei. Since His Majesty let him come to Jiangnan, he naturally did not worry that he would escape.
"Yes, I'll go with you!" Xue Wanshu agreed to this plan.
............
The next day, Zhang Shan'an, Shen Faxing, Chen Dong and others fled with the remaining troops, and there were 30,000 defenders who retreated in panic.
Without Fu Gongtuo's dispatch, only Xu Kun, the general on the front line, could no longer stabilize the situation. He was panicked and had a low morale. He only carried some food with him, and the rest of the food, grass and supplies were not available for him.
When passing through a hilly valley, the ambush came out and used black gunpowder, serial crossbow machines, etc., to kill and kill weapons, and attacked 50,000 or 60,000 deserters wildly.
"Boom boom boom!"
The explosions were heard in a series of smoke, and the cavalrymen turned over and over, blocking their way.
The firearms kept exploding, and some hikers were also affected. They were injured by the iron sheets and iron beads that had collapsed, and they were filled with pain.
This time, when Bing Yuanzhen and Xue Wanshu asked the soldiers to bring enough bows and arrows, he was fired at the same time, and he killed the enemy infantry formation for no money and reaped the lives of the enemy.
Du Fuwei frowned and felt a little reluctant. After all, there would be people from Jiangbei inside, but he was not a good man and a trustworthy woman, but a hero. So he quickly gave up the little bit of unbearableness in his heart and faced it calmly.
Some enemy troops rushed out of the ambush circle and were soon intercepted by ambushers from the periphery and started fighting in close combat.
When the destructive weapons stopped, the ambush range was everywhere, and the remaining limbs were everywhere, bloody and extremely tragic.
"Run!"
Du Fuwei, Ximen Junyi, Bing Yuanzhen, and Xue Wanshu led his troops in. Although there were only 25,000 people and not as many as the enemy, the rebels had no fighting spirit and were powerless to resist, and many people began to surrender.
One hour later, the battle ended, and the court army won a great victory, with tens of thousands of enemies, captured 16,000 people, and more than 10,000 people, fled everywhere, and it was no longer a weather.
Shen Faxing was shot to death by random arrows, Zhang Shan'an was injured and captured, Xu Kun died in battle when he broke through, but Chen Dong was not discovered and escaped from the chaos.
Xue Wanshu looked at Du Fuwei and said, "Du Fuwei, this time I seized Jiangning City and ambushed the rebels. You will be the first to be the best. I will report it to Your Majesty truthfully."
Du Fuwei was not yet in charge of the official title, and for the court, it belonged to the common people. He nodded slightly and bowed, "Then I thank General Xue."
Ximen Junyi felt uncomfortable when she was around. In the past, Du Fuwei was the general manager of the Jianghuai River and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. He was as powerful as he was. Now, he was so polite to a general of the court that he had to bow his head under the roof.
However, the generals of the court were all very qualified and did not deliberately make things difficult for them, such as the surrendered generals and commanders, who surrendered, felt much better, and their sense of belonging to the court was also greatly increased.
Bing Yuanzhen came forward and reminded: "The battle report must be transmitted to General Xu of Jiangbei, and he is still waiting for the result of our battle."
Xue Wanshu nodded and said, "Get out of the army and go back to Jiangning City. Fu Gongtuo fled to the land of Wu and Yue. It can no longer cause any storms. After General Xu leads his troops to occupy several counties in Jiangnan, he will go and deal with Fu Gongtuo."
"Okay, let's go back to Jiangning City to wait. General Xu should cross the river."
Everyone pulled out their troops to reorganize the army, escorted more than 10,000 surrendered troops, and returned to Jiangning City, leaving only 3,000 people responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, burning corpses, and transporting the wounded.
