(I wish you all a happy New Year, good luck and prosperity, and happiness every day...)
The strange movements of the Qing army naturally attracted the attention of the bandit suppressing army. At this time, the suona of the bandit-suppressing army's charge had already sounded.
"Go ahead..."
"Those who surrender will not be killed..."
On the battlefield, the bandit suppressing troops made various shouts and calls for surrender.
The general soldiers and staff officers around Li Shiyao saw the battle situation like this, and Li Shiyao looked like this. So they all advised Li Shiyao to leave first and make plans later.
These generals persuaded Li Shiyao in this way, not because they supported and loved Li Shiyao, but because someone had to take responsibility for the failure of the war.
If Li Shiyao continues to stay here and is killed or captured by the rebels, then it will be them, the general soldiers and staff officers, who are really in trouble.
No matter what, they must keep Li Shiyao safe to bear the court's guilt. This became their consensus.
"You don't need to say anything. I am ashamed of your Majesty and the imperial court, and I am determined to die for my country. You go quickly! I am determined to kill enemies for the country, and I will kill every one I can." Li Shiyao said with a firm look on his face.
"General, although the rebels are powerful, they are small in number after all. We can make long-term plans when we return. We still have many troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, so we are not afraid of this group of rebels." Geng Shangzhi advised.
"That's right, General. Don't the Han people have a saying: Since ancient times, great talents have suffered many hardships. Although these rebels are somewhat capable, they will not be our opponents in the Qing Dynasty after all." Kuyala Nanzhi also persuaded.
"General, leave behind a useful body. When I go back and organize my troops, it will be their time to die."
After all, if the Lord really dies in battle here, they all have to die with him, otherwise the whole family will suffer.
Following Li Shiyao, all the generals around him kept persuading him, saying all kinds of good things they could think of.
Li Shiyao still refused to leave. Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was not right, the generals had no choice but to accuse him and carry him away.
At this time, the green camp soldiers who fled on the battlefield began to surrender in large numbers.
First, the bandit suppressor army rushed close to them, and all the green camp soldiers who resisted were stabbed to the ground in less than one turn; second, the bandit suppressor army's cavalry was dispatched, which caused them psychological pressure; third, they discovered that Many of the rebels on the opposite side were also wearing the clothes of the green camp soldiers. Looking at these clothes, the fleeing Qing soldiers felt at ease.
Since you would die if you couldn't escape, and you might live if you didn't run, why run?
Anyway, these rebels don't look like they want to kill me, and there are many people like me there.
Qing soldiers and prisoners surrendered on their knees everywhere, and the bandit suppressing army achieved an unprecedented victory.
At this time, every bandit-suppressing army member who was charging forward had strange excitement on their faces, and they had firm thoughts in their hearts.
At this moment, no one doubts whether Zhang Rui will succeed in the future. They were all thinking that after Sixth Brother became the emperor, he would be a disciple of the dragon. In the future, it will be about what official position you will have and how much land you will be allocated.
This unprecedented victory turned the worries of the Green Camp soldiers who had surrendered to Zhang Rui into confidence.
They never thought that Zhang Ruicai could fight so well with so few soldiers. If he had more soldiers, he would not really be able to conquer the world.
I applied here now, why can’t I get a good position in the future?
As a result, everyone who was chasing the Qing soldiers rushed away with excitement on their faces.
As long as the troops of the bandit suppressing army came to the retreating Qing soldiers, they would kneel down and surrender. There were almost no Qing soldiers willing to resist.
Looking at the dead and wounded Qing soldiers everywhere, they surrendered in droves. Zhang Rui did not let the pursuing bandit suppressing troops chase them too far. Instead, he chased them for a certain distance and then let them come back to hold on to the victory.

At this time, there were many people standing around Zhang Rui.
"Brother Six, with this unprecedented victory, we can use the power of victory to attack Wuzhou City!" Du Mu, who was next to Zhang Rui, said with excitement.
Du Mu had been encouraging Zhang Rui to attack Wuzhou City. Ever since he saw Zhang Rui transforming the small Zhilianshan Village from small to powerful, his heart has been in turmoil.
Not many people can resist the temptation of leaving their name in history.
If in the past Du Mu was just fighting with Zhang Ruixu, now Du Mu sincerely hopes that Zhang Rui can continue to be strong. When he conquers the world in the future, he will definitely be a person who will be passed down through the ages.
"Oh? What's going on in Wuzhou Mansion?" Zhang Rui asked doubtfully
Ever since Du Mu knew how to arrange internal agents in Guangzhou, Zhang Rui felt that this wretched-looking man could do the job. At this time, Du Mu was arranged by Zhang Rui to be the chief spy.
Yes, Zhang Rui was also interested in Wuzhou Mansion at this time.
The reason why Zhang Rui had been suppressing the bandit suppression troops in the past to attack Wuzhou Mansion was that he just didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of the Qing court too early, if it seemed impossible.
Since "obscene development" doesn't work, there is only one other way. Zhang Rui didn't want to do this at first, because if he used the snowballing method of the "rebellious peasant army", Zhang Rui didn't know whether he could control a large number of civilian casualties.
However, if he does not strengthen his strength at this time, the only way waiting for Zhang Rui is destruction.
It's hard to beat four punches with both hands, even if the bandit suppressing army can defeat more than 10,000 or 20,000 people relying on the power of muskets. But what if the Qing soldiers come again for another fifty thousand?
How could a single land support the huge national power of the Qing Dynasty? Being able to transform the enemy's power into your own is the way to survive.
At this moment, Zhang Rui no longer hesitated.
Since we have to face it, let's develop it violently before the Manchu and Qing court fully reacts.
"Yes, according to the secret report from our people in Wuzhou Mansion. At this time, there are almost no soldiers stationed in Wuzhou City Mansion. As long as we send the soldiers away, Wuzhou Mansion will be at our fingertips." Du Mu said with certainty, as if Zhang Rui would be a fool not to attack Wuzhou Prefecture.
"Besides Wuzhou Prefecture, where else are there empty troops?" At this moment, Zhang Rui no longer thought that Wuzhou Prefecture was difficult to defeat, but was thinking about how to defeat other places.
Since you want to attack the city, you have to use your empty troops to defeat it as soon as possible, so that you can preserve your strength to the greatest extent and expand your territory.
At the same time, if the city can be captured quickly, it will be a great encouragement to the army and the people.
Moreover, the rapid capture of the city would shock the Manchu Qing court, making it afraid of its own strength and not daring to act rashly. This can also buy Zhang Rui more time to develop.
From the moment he wanted to attack Wuzhou City, Zhang Rui had to consider the problems of the people. If they can't stand those cities and let the Manchu Qing conquer them again, they will massacre them.
During the San Francisco period, the Manchu and Qing troops built many empty cities.
So Zhang Rui had to face this problem when he was considering attacking Wuzhou City. This is why he has been reluctant to attack the city, but now he has to face it even if he doesn't.
