The rumble of horse hooves appeared on the battlefield.
"Commander, hurry up, the rebels have sent out the cavalry." The soldiers around Fu Zonglong held Fu Zonglong tightly, trying to pull Fu Zonglong on horseback and take him away.
It's not that easy to escape after being bitten by the cavalry.
"Let's go? Don't worry about where we can go!" Fu Zonglong looked bitter.
This battle was defeated. The Ming Dynasty did not have many fighting troops left in Shandong. What would it use to deal with the troops of the Tiger Flag in the future?
The soldiers on the side saw that Fu Zonglong was completely lost, so they simply stopped talking nonsense, directly picked him up on his horse, and then took Fu Zonglong and fled in the direction of the pursuer.
Fu Zonglong did not resist from beginning to end and allowed his soldiers to lead him.
The cavalry of the Tiger Character Banner quickly rushed into the center of the Ming Army.
The central army of the Ming army were all newly recruited soldiers, and they had the smallest number of troops.
When the tiger-shaped banner cavalry rushed over, they all ran for their lives. The Chinese army's banner, which was still moving, was thrown to the ground at some point, and it was covered with footprints.
The entire Chinese army had no power to fight back against the cavalry of the tiger-shaped flag. They were either running for their lives with the defeated Ming army, or kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
The only ones still resisting were the left-wing troops of Commander Sun Chuanting.
"Pull the cannon up, bring the cannon up."
Soon, cannons were pushed up one after another, directly hitting Sun Chuanting's Ming army in the face.
It can be solved with artillery. The officers commanding the battle here at Tiger Character Banner will not let their men trade lives with the Ming army. The Ming army cannot escape anyway, so it is easiest to solve it with artillery.
As a cannon was pushed to the front of the formation, Sun Chuanting's face turned gloomy.
Originally, he was thinking that the people with the Tiger Flag would rush up, so he tried to tear a hole to escape, but now it seemed that he couldn't escape, and with so many of them crowded together, once they were shelled, the casualties would be huge.
"Ambassador, surrender!" A general walked over, his eyes fixed on Sun Chuanting's face, and one hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife at his waist.
Sun Chuanting knew that the situation was over and he sighed deeply and said: "Send someone to talk to the rebels. We are willing to surrender. I hope they will not harm innocent people."
"Ambassador is wise, I will make arrangements now." The general turned around and left.
Sun Chuanting took off the sword from his waist and threw it aside. He sat down on the ground and the helmet on his head flew away.
The defeat in this battle made him feel aggrieved.
He didn't even have a serious fight, and he just lost like this. All the accumulation he had accumulated over such a long time from Shunde Mansion to Shandong was lost in this battle.
A group of people were left to accept Sun Chuanting's surrender from the Ming army. The other soldiers continued to pursue those who defeated the enemy, and those who swept the battlefield.
"Shizheng, Sun Chuanting of the Ming Army has surrendered and has been taken over by the First Battle Barracks."
A soldier came to Chen Xunping to report.
"Let's go meet this old acquaintance." Chen Xunping laughed loudly and walked out with his bodyguard.
Sun Chuanting is from Shanxi. When the Tiger Banner moved south, the first battles it fought were at Yanmen Pass and Dai County, which was Sun Chuanting's hometown.
Groups of captured Ming troops on the battlefield were taken away, and the corpses of the remaining Ming troops were carried away and cremated to prevent the spread of the plague.
Chen Xunping came over on horseback with his guards. When he approached the captured Ming army, he noticed a person sitting on the ground.
Unlike other captured Ming soldiers, the man sitting on the ground did not have panic on his face, but looked disappointed and depressed.
"Shi Zheng, this person is Sun Chuanting." A soldier on the side introduced Chen Xunping.
Chen Xunping nodded and rode over.
"Sun Boya!"
Sun Chuanting, who was sitting on the ground, raised his head and looked at Chen Xunping on the horse. Although he didn't know him, he knew that the other person must be a big shot in the Tiger Flag Army, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the commander of the army that defeated you. My surname is Chen. I think you should have heard of my name." Chen Xunping introduced himself.
Sun Chuanting's eyes shrank when he heard this.
Today is no longer the past. With the Tiger-Character Banner's campaigns in the south and north, the Ming Dynasty has long been familiar with the official title of the Tiger-Character Banner Army. Although many Ming officials feel that they are neither fish nor fowl, just like the Caotai team, they cannot stand on the stage, but they have to admit it. It was this kind of grass-roots team that caused Ming Dynasty to lose its northwest.
"It seems you have guessed who I am." Chen Xunping noticed the change on Sun Chuanting's face and smiled softly.
Sun Chuanting, who was sitting on the ground, did not move and said: "Kill the defeated generals if you want, but I hope you can let go of the soldiers who surrendered. They are not guilty."
"Don't worry, Tiger Character Banner will never kill brutally, let alone trap and kill soldiers." Chen Xunping gave Sun Chuanting a guarantee, and then said, "Even if it is you, I won't kill you."
Sun Chuanting frowned upon hearing this and said, "Do you want me to be used by you?"
"Didn't you surrender already?" Chen Xunping asked.
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "I surrender because I don't want to see the soldiers under my command die in vain, but this does not mean that I am willing to surrender to you."
"I didn't expect that you are still a soldier with a heart. This is much better than most Ming officials I have met." Chen Xunping said with a smile.
Sun Chuanting looked into the distance and said, "Needless to say, I will not surrender to you."
"What a pity. I thought you would be like Hong Hengjiu and understand the principle of good birds choosing trees to rest. What a pity." Chen Xunping said two regrets in succession.
Sun Chuanting looked back at Chen Xunping and said, "He is him and I am me. You don't need to waste your efforts on me. I will not be disobedient."
"It doesn't matter, I'm waiting for the day when you change." Chen Xunping turned the horse's head and urged the horse to leave with his guards.
After walking a few steps, Chen Xunping told the soldiers guarding the prisoners: "Watch this man and don't let him hurt you."
"Yes." Zhan Bing agreed.
At this time, the guard on the side asked in confusion: "Shi Zheng, since the other party is unwilling to surrender, why are we going to such trouble? None of the Ming officials we met before have seen Shi Zheng be so attentive."
"You don't understand, he is the person that the Lord has talked about." Chen Xunping said to the guard.
After hearing this, the guard looked back at Sun Chuanting and muttered: "I don't see anything special about him. He is really powerful and can be defeated so miserably."
The Ming army was defeated too quickly, and there was no pressure on the Tiger Flag.
This made him feel that this Ming army was much easier to deal with than those they had encountered before.
"Let's go. I don't know if the Ming army's coach has caught him." Chen Xunping urged his horse to leave.
Fu Zonglong was the governor of Shandong and the commander-in-chief of the Ming army. Although it was good to catch Sun Chuanting, he still felt that catching Fu Zonglong would have a greater impact on the court forces on the ground in Shandong.
