Chapter 118: The Golden Cicada Escapes the Shell

Not everyone was happy that An Bangyan died in the chaos, at least Zhu Xieyuan was a little depressed.

The rebels were already in the jar. According to Zhu Xieyuan's own little calculation, it is naturally the best to capture An Bangyan alive.

Zhu Xieyuan had heard of the triumphal ceremony that shocked the capital at the beginning of the year. Zhu Xieyuan also wanted to escort An Bangyan to the capital to have a grand prisoner offering ceremony, fortunately, showing his face in front of the emperor.

However, all this disappeared with An Bangyan's death. Zhu Xieyuan could not hold a bloody man's head and offer prisoners to Beijing.

Since the first She'an Rebellion was pacified during the Tianqi period, Zhu Xieyuan has been the governor of Sichuan for six years. He was very quiet and thoughtful, and Zhu Xieyuan also wanted to change places. Of course, it is best to be able to enter the court as an official. The Secretary of the Six Ministry was his first choice.

‘Oh, time is also fate.’

Zhu Xieyuan looked at An Bangyan's body and sighed in his heart. Then he changed his expression and was excited by the officers and soldiers.

More than 10,000 Ming troops raided 30,000 rebels, and they were still in an open area. Even if the siege was tightly done, there were naturally many fish that missed the net.

The New Army Staff Department also expected this result in the early stage, so when the battlefield situation was certain, the New Army soldiers would turn on their horses and ran away in the direction of the rebel rear team.

The soldiers are very fast, and the rebels who escaped may not have surrendered to the rear team. When the rebels' back army knows the situation here, it will be difficult to wipe out the entire army.

Of course, Zhu Xieyuan, Du Wenhuan, Qin Liangyu and others would not let the new army enjoy the last piece of flesh-carried bone, leaving most of them to clean the battlefield, and their subordinates were sent out together.

Thousands of cavalry were walking on the official road in the mountains. Although the road was narrow and the speed was not fast, at least the four legs were faster than the two legs. In just one hour, the scouts sent out discovered the whereabouts of the team.

In fact, the rebel rear team of She Chongming was only one day away from the central army. It was less than twenty miles away, and the war horses could fight back and forth in half an hour.

But the news brought back by the scout was not very good. She Chongming seemed to have known the fact that the central army was raided by the Ming army. As for whether he had learned that the central army had been completely wiped out, the scout was not sure.

However, She Chongming's rear army had not yet collapsed on its own, so it should not be known about the result of the raid. It may also be that he was waiting for the raid. As long as the situation is wrong, it is not impossible to collapse immediately.

She Chongming, who is as cunning as a rabbit, has long been familiar with this kind of response.

As early as the first She'an Rebellion, She Chongming escaped under the noses of the government army after he was defeated by the government army, and there were still many elite soldiers around him.

She Chongming's keen sense of the battlefield was that even An Bangyan, who had many soldiers and widespread generals, was beyond his reach.

Rather than saying that She Chongming was waiting for the result of the battle between the official army in the front and the rebels, it was better to say that he was ready to escape.

Lu Xiangsheng had no good idea for enemies like She Chongming, so he could only send scouts to cover the battlefield and try to delay She Chongming's source of information.

In addition, the New Army's first regiment was ordered to put down its baggage, light cavalry advanced, and quickly rushed up to bite the opponent first.

Today, when the sky was just bright, She Chongming, who was still sleeping, learned about the bad news that the central army was attacked by an unknown number of Ming troops.

She Chongming made a quick decision and ordered the suspension of the camp and sent scouts to investigate.

In the flash of lightning, She Chongming had made his own plan. If An Bangyan was the superior, he would personally lead the elite troops to catch up and rescue him. If the official army was the superior, he would quickly turn into the mountains.

Therefore, the contact with the scouts between the central army was the key to his decision-making.

Under normal circumstances, the scout who could go back once in half an hour did not return in time after being dispatched. As it was about to be about to be an hour, She Chongming couldn't sit still.

If the scouts go but don’t return, there must be something wrong. If they can cover up all the scouts, it will naturally be that the war on the central army is ineffective.

Although there has not been accurate information yet, She Chongming has already planned to run away.

But because she was dependent on others, she was afraid that An Bangyan would have no way out if he turned the tables and ordered him to move forward, She Chongming was reluctant to make up his mind.

But at this moment, a personal soldier stumbled in.

"Master, our scouts are in the battle with the Ming army's scouts!"

‘It’s so fast!’

She Chongming secretly complained, without hesitation. Since the Ming army sent scouts, the war on the central army would be discovered without investigating.

With the order, the rebels in charge of the palace packed their bags and prepared to move into the mountains and forests. She Chongming took the lead and led his confidant elite to take the lead in action.

But I don’t know who leaked the news of the defeat of the central army. For a moment, the rebels’ back team went into chaos, and the pace of She Chongming’s escape was slightly slowed down.

Fortunately, She Chongming is experienced and the sudden chaos is just a small episode, which does not interfere with She Chongming's determination to escape.

She Chongming could see clearly that the 30,000 central troops did not resist the Ming army's raid, and his mobs would not be able to match the Ming army. No matter how much they should stop the riots, it is important to escape from their own lives.

Sure enough, when She Chongming had just jumped out of the chaotic rebel camp, he saw a pair of exquisite cavalry rushing to the camp.

The cavalry did not hesitate at all, and it was only in a moment that the small teams of more than 30 people took shape and began to shoot at the chaotic rebels.

It turned out to be the Ming army in Changpoling.

She Chongming, who escaped from the ascension, was immediately afraid. If he acted late for a moment, he would definitely be beaten into a sieve.

Without looking at the battlefield, surrounded by personal soldiers, She Chongming turned around and ran towards the dense forest.

The new army soldiers in platoons rushed into the rebel camp in their own teams. This was the standard formation for the new army to pursue the defeated soldiers, and it was also the inspiration that Zhu Youjian got from Qi Jiguang.

The denser the line line during battle, the better, and when chasing, you should choose a more flexible team.

Thirty-man platoons are naturally the best when fighting against defeated soldiers.

The rebel soldiers who were originally fighting for property in the chaos also saw the Ming army catching up with them. After seeing clearly that it was the Ming army in Changpoling, their thoughts of resisting disappeared instantly, and the only thing left in their minds was the idea of ​​escaping.

Flashes of guns rang out, and the rebel camp immediately sounded the wailing sound of soldiers, followed by mass of blood mist like flowers blooming.

In fact, these rebels had the opportunity to escape, but because of their greed for property, they thought that the Ming army would not come so soon, and they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal some of their comrades' wealth.
