This time, Jin Sangxian was dumbfounded.
He thought that the Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty was on the battlefield. To prevent accidents, he wore a general's armor. But judging from his actions just now, so calm and unhurried, he must really be able to fight like a general!
Not only him, but all the Jianlu including Ying Erdai were also shocked by Lu Xiangsheng's blow. Although some of them thought that the sneak attack might fail, they never thought that Lu Xiangsheng would deflect the flying ax so smoothly.
Before they could recover, Lu Xiangsheng pointed his sword at one of the squatting tiger cannons and ordered sternly: "Fire!"
Although it was okay for the coach to be attacked by surprise, it also angered the Ming army soldiers. After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's military order, the Ming army soldiers in charge of the squatting tiger gun lit the fuse without saying a word.
Seeing this situation, the shocked Jianlu finally came to his senses. Suddenly, the face of Jianlu who was facing the tiger crouching cannon was no longer ferocious, but panicked. They are not afraid of fighting hand to hand, but they are human beings, made of flesh and blood, how can they withstand such a close shot attack!
However, before they could react, they heard a "boom" and a large number of small stones were sprayed out from the muzzle of the Crouching Tiger Cannon in a fan shape. Although Jianlu on the opposite side tried his best to hide in the shield, the shield could not block the close range bombardment of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Just such a shot caused more than a dozen prisoners to lie down on the ground. Some of their faces were covered with rubble and pits, and they died immediately; others had rocks on their hands and feet and no armor. The protected areas were full of bloody holes; the areas protected by armor, the blows were still very powerful, causing Jianlu to fall to the ground crying and moaning.
The dead ones were left alone by the Jianlu. Those who were still alive were dragged into the phalanx, and then they quickly formed a defensive formation with shields. Although this kind of defense was completely useless under the bombardment of artillery, they still did it. No matter what, this can be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance for them!
Lu Xiangsheng allowed them to reorganize their formation, and after they were finished, he pointed his sword at Ying Erdai and shouted: "Surrender or not?"
"There are only Qing warriors who died in battle, not..."
This time, without even letting him finish his words, Lu Xiangsheng pointed at another squatting tiger cannon with his sword. With a "boom", more than a dozen Jianlu were taken away again.
Then he pointed his sword at Ying Erdai and shouted: "Surrender or not?"
It was obvious that if he did not surrender, Lu Xiangsheng would order his men to continue firing.
This time, Ying Erdai's reply was not so fast. It was obvious that he was a little hesitant.
However, Lu Xiangsheng ignored him, denied the answer or did not answer, and still let his men fire. With a "boom", more than a dozen Jianlu were lying on the ground.
Just like that, there were almost fifty soldiers missing from the three hundred Jianlu. At first, they dragged their injured companions into the formation, but later, they didn't bother to drag them anymore, and they just shrank their formation.
Lu Xiangsheng's domineering side when facing Jianlu was noticed by Jin Sangxian behind him, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind. Later, after he went back, he wrote three poems to describe his experience from different angles, and then gave them to Lin Qingye and other North Korean generals, so that they could learn from Xiang Guo.
At this time, these Jianlu finally no longer had ferocious faces. Especially the Jianlu on the periphery had a look of fear on their faces. They are also human beings, and of course they will be afraid when faced with a situation where they have no power to fight back.
"Surrender or not?" Lu Xiangsheng's cold voice sounded again, and in Jianlu's ears, it seemed like the urging voice of King Yama.
Finally, You Jianlu couldn't stand it anymore, and without waiting for Ying Erdai's command, he shouted "ah" and rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng.
The gunmen who were waiting "bang bang bang" didn't need Lu Xiangsheng's command and directly shot the Jianlu who rushed towards them.
When the smoke dissipated, a dozen more Jianlu were lying on the ground, and the Jianlu's phalanx shrank again.
"Do you think you have any objections to resistance?" Lu Xiangsheng rode on his horse and shouted coldly, "I will give you one more chance, surrender immediately!"
When Ying Erdai was surrounded by the superior Ming army and pointed at by the Ming army with artillery, muskets, and bows and arrows, he knew that the day was over. But how could Gushan Ezhen, who was the Zhengbai Banner of the Qing Dynasty, surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Therefore, he led his men to fight to the death.
However, the desperate struggle proved to be in vain.
After experiencing shelling again and again, and his tribesmen falling to the ground and losing their lives again and again, Ying Erdai finally became good this time. He did not dare not to answer, and immediately responded to Lu Xiangsheng: "Can you guarantee that we will not die?"
"No!" Lu Xiangsheng replied very simply, "After you surrender, you will be escorted to the capital. But I can tell you that before, Zhenturg, who had a white flag on Gushan'er, was also captured by our Ming Dynasty. According to what I know You know, now he has returned to Liaodong."
The life and death of these people must be decided by the emperor. Naturally, Lu Xiangsheng could not guarantee it, and he did not want to lie. But if we don't give hope to these Jianlu, we really won't be able to catch them alive. Therefore, he used Turg as an example.
Although there is no direct answer, it is somewhat hinted that you will probably not die and will return to Liaodong.
Others don't know about Turg, but Ying Erdai knows it, but the details are not very clear. But that's not important. The key is how he chooses now.
While he was thinking about it, a white-armored soldier next to him shouted sternly: "The Qing warriors will never surrender to you smart dogs..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng threw the long sword in his hand with all his strength, and nailed it directly to the forehead of the white-armored soldier, interrupting his crazy cursing, and fell straight down, looking up to the sky. I will never die with my eyes in peace.
"If you want to die, I will help you!" Lu Xiangsheng clapped his hands and shouted coldly, "I don't have much patience anymore. If you count to three, anyone who doesn't surrender will be killed on the spot!"
After he finished speaking, he began to count directly without pausing, and he did not count slowly, showing a very strong performance.
The surrounding Ming army officers and soldiers all showed excitement. They all held fires, approached the fuse, or stretched their bowstrings, preparing to shoot. Obviously, they should be more willing to kill these prisoners.
"One, two..."
When the second count came, Ying Erdai suddenly sighed and said quickly: "Throw away your weapons, there is no need to die anymore!"
When he said this, he threw away the weapon first, and his whole person seemed to have aged a lot.
If Azig and others were in the lead, they might just fight to the death if they were not afraid of death. But he, Ying Erdai, was considered a man of literary and military skills among Jianlu, and he had many things to think about. This decision was made after careful consideration. To say that he is afraid of death is not true.
After Ying Erdai gave the order, most of the other Jianlu soldiers also lost their weapons and looked sad. But there were also a few die-hard Jianqiu members who screamed and cut themselves with swords, and died in front of Ying Erdai. This made him sigh again, but he didn't say anything.
After solving this group of rebels, the whole war was finally over.
In this battle, a total of more than 700 Jianlu were killed and 180 were captured, including Ying Erdai. The other Jianlu probably jumped into the mountains and forests.
The Korean soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties and about 2,000 prisoners. The rest should have jumped into the mountains and forests, including Marshal Jin Zidian. They were all alive and dead, but their bodies were not seen.
When they retreated to the seaside, Lin Qingye's people had been waiting for news. After hearing that the Ming army had achieved a great victory and even Ying Erdai was captured, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Just when Lu Xiangsheng was about to board the ship and go to Pi Island first, Lin Qingye rushed over to pay him a visit.
Lu Xiangsheng was not interested in nice words, but told him directly: "Now that I have arrived, North Korea will no longer be able to build captives. I have a letter here for you to forward to your king. If you want to Let the Ming Dynasty recognize it again, and send the traitor general Shang Kexi to Pi Island!"
Lin Qingye was still a little hesitant after hearing this, but Jin Shangxian next to him agreed wholeheartedly and also made a guarantee. He would go back in person and advise the king that the traitorous general Shang Kexi would be sent over.
After hearing this, Lin Qingye had no choice but to agree, and then picked up Jin Sangxian and left.
More than 2,000 North Korean soldiers and prisoners were escorted to Pi Island to repair the facilities damaged by the captives, and were released after the completion. At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng was personally in charge of Pidao, while Ying Erdai and other twenty people with some status and background were sent back to the capital by clipper ship.
Many days later, Lin Qingye and Jin Sangxian arrived in Seoul secretly. However, they did not go to see the leader Li Zhu immediately. Instead, they went to the house of the leader Cui Mingji to wait for him to leave the office.
It was not until dark that Cui Mingji returned to the house. Listening to his voice reprimanding his servants, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
When he entered the study as usual and found two people waiting for him in the room, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When he looked closely at the man with the gray beard, who was his old enemy, Kim Sang-heon, the leader of the main war faction, Cui Mingji couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked quickly: "Did Ming Dynasty win?"
Before, Jin Sangxian didn't know Cui Mingji's true situation and always thought that he was a pro-capitalist faction. This will not be understood until Cui Mingji was also captured by the Manchus and brought to Shengjing, and the two of them were imprisoned together.
But in this plane, because of the flapping of butterfly wings, Jin Shangxian understood Cui Mingji in advance, so when he heard his question, Gonggong gave him a neat salute.
Seeing him like this, Cui Mingji quickly stepped forward, helped Jin Shangxian up, and said with a smile: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"
After the ceremony, the two sides sat down again, and Cui Mingji asked again how the war was going?
Regarding this point, the person involved, Kim Sang-hyun, spoke eloquently and with great joy. Lu Xiangsheng was already powerful in the first place, but he became even more powerful because of Kim Sang-hyun's words.
But no matter what, at least Ying Erdai was captured, which is enough to explain all this.
Cui Mingji listened to this and kept stroking his beard and smiling. Regarding the conversation between the two of them, Lin Qingye could only listen silently and was not qualified to speak.
After Jin Sangxian finished speaking, he consciously became concerned about national affairs, and immediately asked Cui Mingji: "I just returned home and seemed to be in a bad mood, but is there any trouble with the king?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Mingji's interest immediately dropped a little and said: "Yes, that King Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty is very happy. He forces the king every day to ask for people, wood, and is anxious to build ships. Now that our country is so difficult, how can we It takes so much manpower and material resources to build the ship!”
Upon hearing this, Jin Sangxian couldn't help but sneer and said: "Just right, then I'll capture him this time!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Cui Mingji: "The Governor of the Ming Dynasty asked us to capture this traitorous general and send him to Pi Island!"
When Cui Mingji heard this, he frowned and did not answer for a moment. It was obvious that he was hesitating.
"What's wrong?" When Jin Shangxian saw it, he immediately said a little unhappy: "Now the Governor of the Ming Dynasty personally leads the troops and is stationed on Pidao. The Ming army is all elite Ming troops. Are we still afraid that he will not succeed in retaliating by building captives? In the past few times, It is already a great shame and humiliation for the king to join the barbarians and abandon the Ming Dynasty. Now, what worries do you have?"
Lin Qingye met on the side and also advised: "Sir, if even Ying'erdai is gone, Jianlu will definitely accuse us of North Korea. Sooner or later, we will not be able to escape this level."
After a pause, he analyzed Cui Mingji again: "The Jianlu are greedy. Just look at how many times they have asked for food this year. If you continue to surrender to the Jianlu, you will continue to be sucked. But now that the Ming army is on the side, as long as the governor is given Your Majesty, write a letter to send some ships back. If something happens, the king will retreat to the island. What can Jianlu do?"
After listening to what the two of them said, Cui Mingji said "Okay," and then began to make plans with them. After having a plan, under Cui Mingji's arrangement, Lin Qingye and Kim Sangxian secretly met Li Zhu, and transferred Presented Lu Xiangsheng's handwriting.
In this letter, Lu Xiangsheng asked why North Korea not only turned its back on the Ming Dynasty, but also sent troops to help the rebels attack the Ming Dynasty. Can such ungratefulness be worthy of the Ming Dynasty emperor?
Lu Xiangsheng made it clear that he would personally be in charge of Pidao to see if North Korea still had any conscience that could repent. If he still has a conscience, he should sever ties with Jianlu and send troops to help Ming Dynasty attack Jianlu. Otherwise, he will definitely lead the heavenly troops to Seoul.
Li Zhu looked at this letter with tears streaming down his face. After hearing Jin Shangxian's description of how powerful the Ming army was, he decisively issued an order to capture Shang Kexi, a traitorous general of the Ming Dynasty, and he would personally take him to Pi Island to plead guilty.
Based on the previous time, North Korea also wanted to capture Ying Erdai, but he fled back to Liaodong from Seoul. Lin Qingye is responsible for the gratifying arrest this time. He must not be allowed to escape.
Suddenly, the trend in Seoul changed. Lin Qingye secretly deployed troops and generals, but Shang Kexi knew nothing about it.
