The Ming army supervising soldiers in front received two shots, and more than half of them who were lined up in a dense formation were killed or wounded on the spot.
More than a hundred county warriors suffered heavy arrow rain. None of these people were wearing armor. Once they were hit by arrows, they would be casualties. After several rounds of arrow rain, they suffered heavy casualties.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for Fei Bingqing to give orders. He already cried for his father and cried for his mother, crawling out and running away.
Seeing the Ming army fleeing, Luo Zhixue quickly reviewed the battlefield situation and resolutely ordered An Yongduo's troops to pursue them on horseback.
In this valley, it is impossible for the cavalry to carry out any large-scale charge, but the terrain here is relatively flat. Even if the cavalry cannot charge, they can still follow up on horseback and continue shooting with bows and arrows.
The most important thing is that the opponent's formation has completely collapsed. It would be a shame not to pursue a wave of kills at this time.
Ever since, Fei Bingqing saw a scene that was even more surprising and made him even more desperate.
A group of cavalry rushed out from the opposite side. Not only were there so many twenty or thirty cavalry, but many of these cavalry were riding their horses in pursuit while bending their bows and shooting arrows directly on their horses.
At this moment, Fei Bingqing's head was empty...
I just went into the mountains to grab some food, but why did I meet an elite group of bandits with artillery and cavalry...
If he had known that the bandit army in front had dozens of elite cavalry and artillery, Fei Bingqing would have lost his mind and would have fought against these bandits...
For a moment, Fei Bingqing was confused: Doesn't God have eyes today? Don't play with me like this!
Also, where did this elite band of thieves come from?
He has seen many bandit soldiers, and he has also seen many bandit soldiers on horseback, but to be honest, he has not seen many bandit soldiers who can shoot arrows on horseback and are so skilled at riding and shooting. Basically, I met the backbone old thieves under the big thieves every time.
Because basically only the famous and well-known thieves have such elite old thieves under their command.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for such an elite and old thief to appear in a poor place like Funiu Mountain.
However, it just showed up!
Could it be said that the thieves discovered in Funiu Mountain before did not escape? Still here?
But that's not right. He was personally following Huang Guangmao as he chased the bandits westward.
Fei Bingqing's mind was now empty, and he had no idea why the situation in front of him occurred.
Fei Bingqing was stunned for a moment, but the other Ming troops outside the valley were not stunned.
When these Ming troops saw the front collapse and saw a group of enemy cavalry rushing out, one by one, they all knew that something serious was going on.
If I don't run fast enough, I might have to explain it here today.
Those who are quick-thinking have already started to turn around and run away. If they don't run now, will they have to wait for the defeated soldiers in front to run back and be caught up by the rogue cavalry before running away?
Even those who didn't run away were in a panic now and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Fei Bingqing's personal soldiers stepped forward: "Du Si, the matter can no longer be done, we must make a decision quickly!"
Decide on what?
Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone knew what this man meant: run away!
Fei Bingqing also reflected at this time and realized that the situation had become extremely dangerous. If the situation continued, the cavalry would have been chasing them all the way to the front.
As for resistance?
He thought about it too, but the troops in front were in chaos, and it would be useless for the few people behind him to form a formation. The custody would be scattered by the troops in front.
Furthermore, dozens of cavalrymen rushed out from the bandits at the front, which meant that there would definitely be a large group of bandits behind them.
When the main force of the thieves comes out, it will be the same as death.
Therefore, resistance is impossible, and the only way to survive is to escape.
Immediately waved his hand: "Retreat!"
After saying that, he took his soldiers and started running away.
However, he failed to run away in the end.
Anyondo and the others rode horses to chase them all the way. The defeated soldiers in front had no guts to resist, and they didn't even dare to block the road. After seeing the cavalry behind them rushing up, some of them continued to run forward stupidly, and were then killed. Anyondo and the other cavalrymen were killed with a single blow.
Some smart people retreated to both sides of the road and took the initiative to give way.
Therefore, Anyongduo and the others pursued all the way without encountering any actual resistance at all, and the other party even took the initiative to give way.
Seeing this, Anyongduo simply gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward with his cavalry, heading straight for Fei Bingqing.
He wants to kill the officers and generals directly!
Before they even got close, Anyondo and the other cavalrymen were already on horseback, bows and arrows...
The soldiers who followed Fei Bingqing didn't go long before they fell down one by one after being hit by arrows.
When Fei Bingqing saw this, he knew he couldn't run away.
With a desperate look on his face, he gritted his teeth and looked at the thief cavalry getting closer and closer, holding the waist knife in his hand tightly.
He was hesitating whether to commit suicide like his predecessors. As the commander of the army and the army, he must not fall into the hands of the rebels.
However, the waist knife in his hand became heavier and heavier, making it difficult for him to pick it up.
A few seconds later, Anyongduo led the cavalry to directly surround Fei Bingqing and four or five others. At this time, Anyongduo said: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The few remaining soldiers around Fei Bingqing all looked at Fei Bingqing.
The rebel cavalry had already stepped forward, with bows and arrows pointed at them. If Fei Bingqing resisted, they would just shoot arrows.
what to do?
Fei Bingqing closed his eyes at this time!
After taking a few deep breaths, he finally dropped the knife in his hand!
I definitely do not want to survive, but I want to give my soldiers a way to live. They are all my old brothers who have been with me for many years. I must not drag them to the road of death just because I want to be benevolent and righteous.
You have to be responsible for them!
good!
I surrendered for the sake of the soldiers!
Naturally, it was impossible for others to think that Fei Bingqing had so many dramas in his heart. His soldiers were relieved to see Fei Bingqing surrender.
The cavalry had already surrounded them. As long as Fei Bingqing said no, the thieves and cavalry on the other side would probably start shooting immediately.
They will be shot into a hornet's nest!
Now, although Fei Bingqing did not say surrender directly, he threw the knife away. This was a clear statement that he wanted to surrender.
Immediately, the soldiers dropped their weapons one by one and knelt down. One of them shouted: "We surrender, we surrender!"
Anyondo snorted coldly at this time, and waved his hand to let his men collect their weapons.
After capturing Fei Bingqing and others, Anyongduo was not idle either. He led his men to kill them at the back. There were still many scattered deserters behind.
Anyong was so anxious just now that he didn't have time to pay attention to them.
When Anyongduo led the cavalry back to fight, Luo Zhixue had already personally led the infantry to attack, but they no longer needed to fight and kill, what they needed to do was capture prisoners one by one.
It's wrong to say they were arrested, because many Ming soldiers did not need to be arrested. They had already thrown away their weapons and knelt on the ground in advance, shouting for their lives.
Luo Zhixue didn't even need the help of thieves and soldiers. He just asked the officers and soldiers to tie each other with belts.
After the prisoners were almost captured, Luo Zhixue had people clean the battlefield and collect various weapons and equipment left by the Ming army.
At this time, Luo Zhixue also saw Fei Bingqing being pressed up by Anyongduo.
Luo Zhixue took a closer look at this person. He was a middle-aged man with an average appearance, estimated to be in his thirties or forties. He was wearing a middle coat, his hair was a little messy, and his hands were tied behind his back.
Anyondo stepped forward: "Sir, this is the leader of the attacking officers and soldiers!"
This man was wearing armor before, but after he was captured, Anyondo had his fish scale armor stripped off on the spot.
This kind of fine iron armor is a good thing. You can only seize this kind of good thing when you catch the officers and soldiers. Ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not have this kind of good thing.
After Luo Zhixue looked Fei Bingqing up and down, he was not interested in talking to Fei Bingqing directly. He just nodded slightly and said to Anyongduo: "Take him down for interrogation and find out the enemy's situation."
Luo Zhixue did not like to recruit enemy generals on the spot, nor did he like to directly kill surrendered generals, but he was interested in asking more about the Ming army from this person.
This Ming army will not appear in Songshan Village for no reason. There must be a reason behind it.
Now Luo Zhixue wants to know the reason.
At the same time, Luo Zhixue wanted to know whether this person leading the troops to attack Funiu Mountain was an independent incident, or whether this person was just the forward of the Ming army, and there were more main forces of the Ming army on the way.
Not long after, An Yongduo came back: "Sir, I have personally interrogated him. This person is a sentry under Huang Guangmao's command, named Fei Bingqing. This person was ordered by Huang Guangmao to act as a vanguard to march into Funiu Mountain. of."
An Yongduo said: "And Huang Guangmao is the commander-in-chief of Chen Zhibang. He previously led troops to garrison near Luyang Pass. This time the officers and soldiers entered the mountain and it was Huang Guangmao and Lushan County Magistrate Wang Jida who led the troops."
"They led three hundred soldiers, five hundred county warriors, and hundreds of civilians into the mountains. They were the ones who ran to chase the general. After the general got rid of them, these people returned eastward. On the way, Huang Guangmao asked Fei Bingqing to Leading fifty soldiers and more than a hundred county warriors as vanguards, we entered Funiu Mountain one step ahead to check the strength of our Funiu Mountain, survey the terrain, and open up the passage for the army to advance."
Under Chen Zhibang?
After hearing this, Luo Zhixue was not surprised why Huang Guangmao led his troops to appear in Funiu Mountain.
This is not surprising. Luo Zhixue still remembers that when they broke out from Henan Prefecture and entered Ruzhou, they were intercepted by officers and soldiers led by Chen Zhibang himself. At that time, Li Tonglin led a group of thieves and tried to break through the encirclement. Intercepted by officers and cavalry, Li Tonglin died on the spot, and dozens of traitors were killed and wounded.
Of the nearly two hundred rebel cavalrymen, only No. 67 was left to successfully break through the encirclement, and finally ran to Funiu Mountain to recuperate.
Chen Zhibang is currently stationed in Ruzhou. After discovering that there were bandits in Funiu Mountain, it was normal for him to send Huang Guangmao to suppress the bandits.
After Luo Zhixue heard this, he thought for a few seconds and then said: "Huang Guangmao's troops were led away by Sun Chengli, so why did they come back? Did they find that we didn't run away at all?"
An Yongduo said: "That's not the case. Fei Bingqing explained that they didn't even know we were still in Funiu Mountain before. They thought we had gone to Song County and Lu's area. The reason why they entered the mountain again was They came here to plunder food from villages in the mountains.”
Hearing this, Luo Zhixue was speechless!
The officers and soldiers came to Funiu Mountain for the second time with great fanfare, not to kill the rebels like themselves, but to plunder food from the villages in the mountain...
However, these rebels like me fought with the officers and soldiers to protect the villages.
No matter how you think about it, it feels strange...
Because Luo Zhixue was confused by the Ming army's operations, who were the rebels and the Ming army, who were the officers and soldiers and who were the thieves?
