Not only Changsheng thought that it was impossible to keep all the defeated rebels, but Zhang Shan, Zhang Mo and others did not dare to have such extravagant hopes before. Seeing that the defeated rebels were forced back by Batulu and others, his own generals were overjoyed. Immediately command your own soldiers to encircle and encircle them.
At this time, the defeat of the rebels was determined. As the saying goes, the defeat was like a mountain. The enemy generals could no longer control the soldiers who were disorganized and had no fighting spirit. No matter how loud they shouted, the rebel soldiers still ran around randomly, trying to escape for their lives.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng hurriedly ordered Datou and others to lead the surrender troops to advance westward quickly. Without the resistance of the rebels, the surrender troops advanced very quickly. After a while, they crossed the east-west direction, dividing the entire battlefield into two, and were constantly blocked by the surrender troops. The protecting grain team took the opportunity to rush westward, quickly leaving the battlefield and rushing to their own camp.
Worried that the rebels would jump over the wall and engage in a fight with the trapped beasts, Zhang Shan promptly issued an order. After receiving the order, his own soldiers outflanked and intercepted, shouting in unison, saying that they would put down their weapons and avoid punishment.
The rebels had no intention of fighting anymore. When they heard their own soldiers shouting loudly, knowing that they could survive without death, they gave up resistance completely, put down their weapons, and sat on the ground.
Seeing that some of their own side gave up resistance, other rebels were afraid that surrendering their weapons too late would be considered as stubborn resistance and stubbornness, so they rushed to follow suit. After a while, the battlefield was filled with darkness.
Previously, Chang Sheng had never understood why when two armies were fighting, one side could easily capture tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of the other side. It was clear that they still had the strength to fight again, so why did they surrender so easily? It wasn't until I personally visited the battlefield that I discovered that large-scale surrenders would indeed occur when one of the parties thought there was no hope of victory. Especially after obtaining the opponent's promise to disarm and not kill, they would have no worries and would surrender more simply.
While the rebels put down their weapons and sat on the ground, the purple energy masters and generals in the rebel army began to break out to the south. Most of the enemy's purple energy masters used volleys to fly across, while the generals galloped on their horses.
Although Changsheng was already exhausted, after seeing the enemy's purple energy masters and generals forcefully breaking out of the encirclement, he still mustered up his energy and whistled to summon the black master in the distance.
Hearing Changsheng's whistle to summon his mount, Datou knew that he was going to hunt down the enemy's purple energy master and the captain general, so he hurriedly shouted and called Miss Bai over.
The mounts of the five people arrived at almost the same time. The four Changsheng people got on their horses, shook their reins and chased after them. The big head drove Miss Bai to follow at a low altitude.
There were at least nearly a hundred purple energy masters and generals who escaped on the rebel side, including more than ten purple energy masters. These purple energy masters did not break out with the rebel generals, but fled in different directions. They were all helpers hired by Yang Shouliang with a lot of money, and they had no friendship with Yang Shouliang. Now that Yang Shouliang was in trouble, they would naturally not stand together with him.
In addition to the five Changsheng people, our side was chasing the rebels as well as six Ziqi Taoists, including Zhang Mo. In addition, there was Chen Liqiu, who could generate wind and thunder wings.
As for the enemy purple energy masters who dispersed like birds and beasts, everyone on our side did not go to chase and intercept them. Their main target was the rebel generals who fled on horseback. Although the decisive battle was over, several cities in Hanzhong had not yet been conquered. If left unchecked, The rebel generals fled back, and they would inevitably lead the remaining troops to prevent their side from regaining the city.
Seeing that his own people were chasing the rebel general from below, Batulu was also eager to land and join in. However, Li Zhongyong refused and forced him to drive the fire unicorn and fly to his own military camp carrying the remaining wooden boxes.
Chang Sheng and others were driving either BMW horses or spiritual birds. After a while, they caught up with the rebel generals who were trying to break through. Most of these rebel generals did not have spiritual cultivation, so they were naturally no match for everyone on their own side. The defeated generals had no fighting spirit. They had not run five miles before most of them were killed by their own troops. The remaining ones, seeing that the situation was not good, had to give up resistance and were captured without mercy.
By the time Zhang Mo and others caught up, the interception had ended. The rebel general who had been captured alive by Chang Sheng and others was dejected and his face was ashen.
It was already midnight in the morning, and the brutal melee that lasted for seven or eight hours was finally over.
Datou and others escorted the captured rebel general back. Chen Liqiu left first and rushed to the military camp to meet Batulu and Li Zhongyong. Zhang Mo accompanied Changsheng to Zhang Shan's location.
After distancing himself from everyone, Zhang Mo frowned and tilted his head, looking up and down at Changsheng.
She noticed that Zhang Mo looked at her with a lot of displeasure. He didn't know why, so he looked at her doubtfully.
"Didn't you say there are two Tiancanyi?" Zhang Mo asked.
Chang Sheng did not answer immediately. Zhang Mo discovered from the injuries on his body that he was not wearing the Heavenly Silkworm Clothes. When he gave the Heavenly Silkworm Clothes to Zhang Mo that day, he had said that there were two Heavenly Silkworm Clothes. Zhang Mo always thought that he also had one, so he had it. This question.
There were indeed two pieces of Tiancanyi. He did not lie to Zhang Mo, but he asked Song Cai to bring the other one to Ni Chenyi who was far away in the Western Regions. The reason why he did not answer the call immediately was because he was hesitant to tell the truth to Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo did not know that there were two pieces of Tiancanyi. Even if he lied that there was only one piece of Tiancanyi, Zhang Mo would not know, and he would also mistakenly think that the reason why he lied to him before was because he was worried that she would refuse to accept this Tiancanyi. No matter from which angle you think about it, lying about only having one piece of silkworm clothing is a very smart way. It can not only avoid Zhang Mo's possible displeasure, but also take the opportunity to highlight his love for Zhang Mo.
However, after pondering, Changsheng did not choose a smart approach, but chose to tell the truth, "There are indeed two pieces of Tiancanyi, but they belong to the Ni family. I only took one, and I asked the Song family for the other one." Brother brought it to Ni Chenyi."
Zhang Mon is a lady of the family, reasonable and different from the petty, jealous secular women. Hearing Changsheng's words, not only did he not become suspicious, but he was very happy, "You are right. Sanyizi is far away in the Western Regions and has left his hometown. He needs this thing." .”
Chang Sheng did not answer, let alone Zhang Mo being considerate of him, even if Zhang Mo would be unhappy, he would tell the truth, because lying and deception is the worst behavior, the essence is the loss of sincerity, fooling others, no matter how cruel the truth is No lie is as bad.
"Thankfully I called you here," Zhang Mo said seriously, "Without you, we couldn't win this battle."
"This is not my fault alone." Changsheng was not hypocritical and modest, because Zhang Mo said it was indeed the truth. If it weren't for the help of himself, the top four and three senior brothers, Zhang Shanzhen would not have been able to win this battle.
"They were all invited by you. Without you, they wouldn't be here." Zhang Mo said.
"To be honest, it was a fluke to be able to fight like this," Changsheng shook his head and said, "I never dared to think that I could fight so beautifully."
Zhang Mo was also in a good mood at this time, and did not hide his admiration for Chang Sheng at all, "Yes, you are really an ancient wizard, with unparalleled insights and understanding of analogies. In the first battle, you were able to persuade the enemy's 30,000 vanguards to surrender. This is also what we have The key to winning this battle.”
Chang Sheng was a little embarrassed when Zhang Mo said, "You are just a wise man who suspects his neighbors. You are too proud of yourself. It's a lucky thing that I can persuade them to surrender."
"I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation. You've really grown up." Zhang Mo said with a smile.
Changsheng was exhausted both physically and mentally and felt depressed. Hearing Zhang Mo's words, his spirit was instantly shaken. He was not sure whether Zhang Mo's words were just casual remarks or had other meanings.
While the two were talking, Zhang Shan came over from not far away. It could be seen that Zhang Shan was very tired at this time, but he was in a very good mood. "You turned the tide in this battle and made immortal contributions. It is truly a blessing to the Tang Dynasty and a blessing to all people!”
"Brother, I'm ashamed to praise you so much. It's because you know people well and command the troops well." Changsheng Duo was frightened. Zhang Shan was a very strict person. In his impression, Zhang Shan didn't praise himself many times and criticized him. I did it quite a lot.
"I did not misjudge you." Zhang Shan said with a smile.
Worried that Zhang Shan would praise him again, Chang Sheng hurriedly changed the subject, "Brother, how should we deal with these surrendered soldiers?"
"Now is the time to employ men, so it is natural to recruit all the surrendered soldiers." Zhang Shan looked around excitedly, "There are at least 100,000 surrendered soldiers in this battle. If we join forces with Tongchen again, there should be 300,000 soldiers." Used by the imperial court to quell rebellion and correct deviations, it will be just around the corner."
"The ancients said that a good woman can't make a meal without rice. Before, the eldest brother only had 100,000 new troops, and the formation of troops was stretched. Now that we have 300,000 soldiers, we can finally flex our muscles and make arrangements calmly." Changsheng said.
Zhang Shan smiled and nodded, "Okay, leave the rest to us. You first invite your friends to go back to the camp and take a rest."
Changsheng nodded and said, "Brother, I promised to protect the soldiers of the grain team and let them return home after this battle."
"What you say must be true, and what you do must be resounding," Zhang Shan nodded slowly, "You go over and explain a few words first, and I will order the military affairs general to handle the next matter."
Changsheng nodded and went to the west side of the battlefield. At this time, the surrendered rebel soldiers were sitting on the ground, while the soldiers protecting the food team were still standing with their arms in hand. The reason why they did not sit down was to separate the rebels, and also to distinguish them from others. The rebels, who had just given up resistance, were indistinguishable from each other once seated because they wore the same military uniforms as the rebels.
Chang Sheng took a deep breath, raised his breath and spoke, "The soldiers who were previously guarding the charge of the grain team came forward and lined up."
What everyone was waiting for was the words of Changsheng. After Changsheng said this, the surviving soldiers hurriedly ran forward and lined up from the west side of the battlefield.
The previous bloody battle resulted in heavy casualties among the surrendered soldiers. At this time, less than 8,000 of the 30,000 soldiers were left. When they finished lining up, Chang Sheng shouted again, "You are loyal and surrendered before the battle. You have done a lot of good work in guarding the food team. I am The king is true to his word, and the general will register you all later, grant you exemption documents, and then choose a day to return home."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, the surviving Jiang soldiers were very moved, with tears in their eyes. One of the things that touched them most was Chang Sheng's fulfillment of his promise. What moved them most was Chang Sheng's evaluation of them. There was no word "Jiang" in his words.
Moved in my heart, I knelt down and cheered, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."
