"Go! Get out!"
"withdraw!"
Following the order, more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry withdrew from the battle and fled to the rear.
"The Tatars are defeated!"
"The Tatars are defeated!"
When Alu Hui's flag disappeared from the battlefield, bursts of loud shouts came from the Red Scarf Army.
Amidst these shouts, tens of thousands of Yuan troops collapsed and completely lost their fighting spirit.
The outcome on the battlefield was decided, and Zhu Han also ran to the side of his brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Brother, how are your injuries?" Zhu Han asked with concern.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the victory, he felt very happy, and his wounds no longer hurt much.
"It's okay, we're fine!" Zhu Yuanzhang forced a smile.
At this time, Xu Da led the cavalry to charge back and forth on the battlefield, killing the Yuan army and being helpless.
"Come here, send an order to the entire army. Anyone who surrenders will avoid death!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loudly.
Soon, the entire Red Scarf Army on the battlefield was shouting.
"The marshal has an order, and those who surrender will be spared death!"
"The marshal has an order, and those who surrender will be spared death!"
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
Under the shouts, most of the Yuan soldiers gave up their struggle to escape, threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Only some of the guys who ran very fast had already disappeared into the mountains and forests on both sides, but in the mountains and forests full of poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, and without food, the fate of these defeated troops would not be so good.
The cavalry of the Red Scarf Army quickly rushed into Qingyuan Town.
The Yuan army cavalry led by Alu Hui had already escaped through the town. Before leaving, in order to delay the pursuit of the Red Scarf Army, they lit fires on all the grain, grass and baggage.
After Xu Da led his army into the town, many of the grain and grass baggage were already on fire and it was impossible to save them.
The mountains of food, grass and baggage could only be watched helplessly as they turned into ashes.
By the time the fire burned out, Alu Hui's more than three thousand cavalry had already disappeared.
After winning a great victory, the Red Scarf Army immediately stationed near Qingyuan Town to rest and recuperate.
"Marshal, we captured a total of more than 8,000 people and killed more than 2,000 people. The rest have disappeared without a trace. There are at least 3,000 to 4,000 people hidden in the mountains and forests!"
After the battle, Xu Da reported the results to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this result.
The military doctor next to him was treating his wounds and not only pulled out the arrow.
Jin Gui's 'magic medicine' was also used according to Zhu Han's request.
"There is no food or drink in the mountains and forests around here, and the mountain roads are steep. If the defeated soldiers enter, they can only wait to die. Send more people to the mountains and forests to recruit surrender, and tell them that our rebels are all Han family members. We will not kill our own people. We have the guts to do so." Don’t be a coward, come with us and fight back to Chuzhou to drive away the Tatars!” Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
"Obey, Marshal!" Xu Da immediately took the order and left.
Almost all the infantry of the Yuan Army were composed of Han people.
Aluhui now led three to four thousand defeated soldiers to flee back to Chuzhou. It was impossible to resist the next attack of the Red Turban Army.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already determined to win Chuzhou.
"Brother, do you think we should attack Chuzhou faster or slower?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
Zhu Han understood what his brother meant.
Now that the Red Scarf Army has collected so many prisoners, and there will be many surrendered troops coming out of the mountains and forests, the number must be more than 10,000.
Such a large number is almost half of the rebel army.
If we enter the territory of Chuzhou with such troops, it will be very dangerous if someone takes advantage of it and causes trouble.
If you take your time, you can first collect the hearts and minds of these surrendered troops, and then attack Chuzhou.
But Zhu Han felt that we couldn't take things slowly and had to fight quickly.
"Brother, we must attack Chuzhou quickly. From today's battle, it can be seen that Alu Hui is decisive and ruthless. Since he can set fire to the food and supplies in Qingyuan Town when escaping, then if Chuzhou cannot be saved, he will definitely be Chuzhou will not be left intact for us. If we go there too late, Chuzhou might be destroyed by Aru Gray." Zhu Han said.
After hearing Zhu Han's words, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Oh, why didn't we think of that!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The Red Scarf Army attacked Chuzhou. In addition to its territory, it also targeted Chuzhou's abundant population and food.
If Aruhui destroyed Chuzhou's population and food, then it would be meaningless for the rebels to gain an empty city.
"Brother, let's quickly gather the troops in Qingyuan Town, and then quickly attack Chuzhou, without giving Alu Hui a chance to harm Chuzhou!" Zhu Han said.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded immediately, "Okay, I will listen to you!"
The next day, it was just dawn.
Regardless of the fact that his wounds had not yet healed, Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of soldiers to the surrender camp.
These troops from Chuzhou were originally in panic.
They were afraid of being killed by the rebels, but they were also unwilling to follow the rebels to attack Chuzhou. Their wives, children, and children were all in Chuzhou, and they didn't want their families to be harmed.
When Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang of the Red Turban Army came to the surrender camp in person, all the Chuzhou surrender soldiers were very excited.
Zhu Yuanzhang brought only a dozen personal soldiers, but he penetrated into the surrender camp of thousands of people.
This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has great trust in Jiangbing!
Sure enough, in this case, Zhu Yuanzhang loudly told Chuzhou to surrender his troops.
"The rebels will drive out the Tartars and restore the Han people. Do not kill your own people!"
"When the rebels enter Chuzhou, they will not steal, rob, commit adultery, or kill indiscriminately!"
"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, dare to risk our lives as guarantee!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words immediately triggered a fierce discussion about the surrender of troops in Chuzhou.
They were half happy and half doubtful about Zhu Yuanzhang's guarantee.
Many people couldn't believe it at first. These days, officers and soldiers were just like bandits, burning, killing and looting, let alone rebels with mud-legged legs.
However, then Chuzhou surrendered its troops and told what they had seen.
"This Marshal Zhu is different from the ordinary Red Scarf Army. It seems that he really doesn't rob or kill."
"Really or not, with such military discipline, wouldn't it be better than the official army?"
"What official troops? Those are Tatar soldiers!"
"Oh, yes!"
"Let me tell you, I have heard that none of the prisoners of the Yuan army who were defeated in Haozhou were killed, and they were even given travel expenses!"
"What? How is this possible?"
Regardless of whether these people in Chuzhou believed it or not, the fact that the Red Scarf Army released prisoners of the Yuan army in Haozhou still conquered their hearts.
After all, these red scarf troops are already so strong that they can even defeat the provincial prime minister Alu Hui. It is not difficult to lead them back to Chuzhou.
In the end, all Chuzhou troops surrendered and expressed unanimous support for the leadership of Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang.
