Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 676

With his only remaining eye, Liu Zongmin could distinguish between people who came to seek refuge and officers and soldiers who came to chase and kill.

Because the rebel soldiers who wanted to join the Hammer bandits really threw away their helmets and armor, panicking, fearing that they would run too slowly.

On the contrary, the man behind him with a knife and full body armor pursued him. Although he yelled loudly, he didn't walk very fast.

They wanted to save their strength, but the crossbowmen in light armor quickly pursued them, shooting repeatedly and cooperating with some cavalry, intending to kill the slowest running rebel soldiers.

Along the way, many rebels who were shot in the back by an arrow and screamed in their thighs fell down.

Then he was killed by a soldier who came from behind, cut off his head, and continued to move forward.

"Raise the flag and fire the cannon!"

Liu Zongmin gave an order, and the hammer bandits on the heights of Mumuyu Town waved their flags, and the ships on the Yellow River received the signal and loudly ordered the gunners to prepare.

Even if some rebels did not come in in time, Liu Zongmin would not let the officers and soldiers drive them in.

Boom boom boom.

Three stone bullets were fired from the boat.

Even though they didn't hit many officers and soldiers who were marching, they pierced through and killed one or two of them.

"Enemy attack." The officers and soldiers yelled loudly.

The pace of pursuit suddenly became hesitant.

Liu Zongmin was very satisfied looking at the musketeers, crossbowmen, spearmen, and several gunners around him.

As long as the officers and soldiers dare to attack, they will be killed.

The commander-in-chief just explained that when the officers and soldiers did not cross the river in large numbers, they should not expose their strength too much, lest they dare not cross the river.

When we lead the troops across the Yellow River to invade Shaanxi, it is inevitable that there will be officers and troops to break the way. They have fought in this land for a long time, and the roads to and from are very familiar, which is not conducive to the Hammer Bandit's geographical advantage.

Chen Qiyu was protected by his confidant and hurriedly asked him to avoid it.

The power of artillery is not like that of bows and arrows. Brothers risk their lives to block it for you.

"Commissioner, this group of rebels is supported by bandits, and there are a few cannons on board."

Chen Qiyu looked at the boats on the Yellow River with a binocular through the walls of people, and then looked at the hammer bandits in Mumuyu Town, who had put on a defensive posture.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops, and all of them disperse, don't deliberately surround me."

Chen Qiyu is a man who knows how to fight, so he decisively ordered to stop the pursuit. The pacesetters in front already had several thieves' heads hanging on their waists.

Didn't Wang Chengyin come just now?

Let his men go up and test the water first.

What's more, the pacesetters under his command didn't carry any anti-cannon shield vehicles. Forcibly resisting the cannon with their bodies would be a huge blow to morale.

Even the elite white soldiers cannot resist the shelling.

Following Chen Qiyu's order, the slow-moving armored soldiers lay down on the ground and crawled backwards to avoid the shelling.

Those crossbowmen who pursued more fiercely ran back quickly, away from the range of the artillery.

After a few shots, the scene of the pursuit battle was immediately cleared up.

Those who fled continued to flee, and those who pursued retreated.

Liu Zongmin is very satisfied with the situation in front of him, and it is not in vain for him to study artillery.

There are soldiers on the Yellow River to maintain the order of crossing the river. Anyone who dares to board the boat indiscriminately will be hacked to death.

A few heads hung on the flagpole, and the loess below was dripped into a small piece of wetland.

The rebels who fled in embarrassment were quickly ordered to squat on the ground and not allowed to move.

Except for Zhang Fuzhen who brought a group of people across the ferry, the rest of the rebels were not allowed to board the boat.

After they jumped off the boat, He Jinzhao and the others had already lined up.

Fan Jirong, who had crossed the river earlier and begged for surrender, ran out from the hammer bandit army.

"Brother Liu, Marshal He has already agreed to our surrender. Now put down all the weapons and ask Governor Zhang to go over and talk."

Liu Daojiang nodded when he heard the words, and immediately walked towards the Hammer bandit army formation with a few people supporting Governor Zhang who couldn't walk.

The rest of the rebels put down their weapons obediently, or stood or sat aside to rest, looking at the Hammer Bandit army formation from time to time, and at Paoze on the other side of the river that had never crossed the river.

Zhang Fuzhen was very resistant in his heart, and the first thing he said when he saw He Jinzhao was that I don't feel like surrendering to the bandits.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Daojiang's hearts beat half a beat slower.

We are begging others to take us in, how can we put on such a face?

"Old parents."

Liu Daojiang hurriedly pulled the hem of his clothes behind his back.

He Jinzhao looked at the drowned old man in front of him, and he could tell that his beard was well-trimmed on weekdays, and the beard was as long as his chest.

Even though water was dripping from his head all the time, the official hat on his head was not taken off.

"I begged you to surrender?"

Zhang Fuzhen looked at the young man in front of him. He met him once when he was negotiating with Yang He.

At that time, he knew that this person was bold and reckless, he didn't take the high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty seriously, and repeatedly showed his fists as if he threatened to throw the table.

In addition, Hong Chengchou and others had just trained their troops, and there were no elite soldiers who could conquer the fortified city.

For this kind of traitor who ignores the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty can't pinch him like they pinch the obedient people, so they can only let him go.

With Yang He adhering to the rule of harming neighboring provinces, quickly calming down the thoughts of bandits in Shaanxi, and intentionally letting him go to Shanxi to cause chaos, now He Jinzhao has become a serious worry for Daming.

Hammer bandits are not as easy to deal with as ordinary bandits, at least they have a good reputation among the common people.

The government does not give relief to the people, but the hammer bandits give relief to the people!
Zhang Fuzhen thought about it, and thought that He Jinzhao's act of buying people's hearts was extremely terrifying!
This kind of person is not like ordinary thieves, he is destined to be a person with big ambitions.

"I am an official, and you are a thief. Since ancient times, officials and thieves have always been incompatible."

He Jinzhao couldn't help digging out his ears, and then flicked to Zhang Fuzhen: "You've been fucked, why are you giving me this air of being an official?"

"You." Zhang Fuzhen was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and his beard was pressed against his chest.

"Liu Daojiang, right?"

"Marshal, I am." Liu Daojiang knelt on one knee and responded loudly.

"Are you an officer or a bandit?"

"The villain was originally a bandit, followed Shen Yikui to become a rebel, and then followed Shen Yikui to be suppressed as an official army, and now he is a rebel."

Liu Daojiang's rich resume can reflect many things in the land of Shaanxi.

"Is this what you're talking about since ancient times?" He Jinzhao glanced at Zhang Fuzhen with disdain:

"If you really are a pedantic person, you can't complain about being squeezed out like this, but you have your own ambitions in your chest, but because you don't know how to mix in the officialdom, you feel frustrated and want to commit suicide."

"I repeat, I did not commit suicide by jumping into the river!"

Zhang Fuzhen had already become exasperated and had really broken his defenses.

It was said one after another that he committed suicide because of business, but it turned out that he slipped and jumped into the Yellow River and almost drowned.

He Jinzhao raised his eyebrows slightly. Did he feel that he didn't die, that he didn't leave a good reputation, but instead was coerced by his subordinates into the Hammer Bandit and ruined his reputation. This matter made him worry about it?

According to the thinking of some scholars in Daming, this kind of thing is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Liu Daojiang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Marshal He, the old parents just can't turn around for a while, so they are a good face."
