Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 77 Great victory!

"Go! Withdraw quickly!"

"withdraw!"

With an order, more than 3000 Mongolian cavalry withdrew from the battle, and fled to the rear on horseback.

"The Tartars are defeated!"

"The Tartars are defeated!"

When Alu Hui's commander-in-chief flag disappeared on the battlefield, the Red Turban Army gave out bursts of loud shouts.

Amidst these shouts, tens of thousands of yuan troops were defeated and completely lost their fighting spirit.

The outcome on the battlefield has been decided, Zhu Han also ran to the side of his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Brother, how is your injury?" Zhu Han asked concerned.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the big victory, he was very happy, and the wound didn't feel so painful.

"It's okay, we're doing well!" Zhu Yuanzhang squeezed out a smile.

At this time, Xu Da led the cavalry to charge back and forth on the battlefield, and the already killed Yuan army had no power to parry.

"Come here, send an order to the whole army, those who surrender will not die!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loudly.

Soon, the Red Scarf Army on the entire battlefield shouted.

"The marshal has an order that those who surrender will not die!"

"The marshal has an order that those who surrender will not die!"

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

With a loud cry, most of the soldiers of the Yuan army gave up their escape and struggle, and all threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Only some of the fast-running guys disappeared into the forests on both sides early, but in the forests full of poisonous snakes and mosquitoes, and there is no food, the fate of these defeated soldiers will not be very good.

The cavalry of the Red Scarf Army rushed into Qingyuan Town very quickly.

The cavalry of the Yuan army led by Alu Hui had already fled through the town. Before they left, in order to delay the pursuit of the Red Turban Army, they lit a fire on all the food, grass and luggage.

After Xu Da led his army into the town, many food, grass and luggage were already on fire, and it was impossible to rescue them.

The piles of food, grass and supplies piled up like mountains can only be watched as they are reduced to ashes.

By the time the fire burned out, the more than 3000 cavalrymen of Aluhui had already disappeared without a trace.

Having won a big victory, the Red Scarf Army immediately stationed at the edge of Qingyuan Town to rest.

"Marshal, a total of more than 8000 people have been captured, more than 2000 people have been killed, and the rest of them have disappeared without a trace. There are at least three to 4000 people hidden in the mountains!"

After the war, Xu Da reported his achievements to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this result.

The military doctor next to him was treating his wound, and not only pulled out the arrow.

Jingui's 'magic medicine' was also used according to Zhu Han's request.

"There is no food or drink in the nearby mountains and forests, and the mountain roads are steep. The defeated soldiers can only wait to die when they enter the mountains. Send more people to the mountains and forests to recruit them, and tell them that our rebels are all Han family members. If you don't kill your own people, you have a sense of humor. Don't be a coward, come back to Chuzhou with us, and drive away the Tartars!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

"Follow the Marshal!" Xu Da immediately took the order and left.

The infantry of the Yuan army was almost entirely composed of Han Chinese.

Now that Alu Hui led three or four thousand defeated soldiers and fled back to Chuzhou, it was impossible to resist the next attack of the Red Scarf Army.

Zhu Yuanzhang is already determined to win Chuzhou.

"Brother, you said that we should attack Chuzhou quickly, or slowly?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly.

Zhu Han understood what his brother meant.

Now that the Red Scarf Army has collected so many captives, plus there will be many surrendered soldiers coming out of the mountains and forests, it must be more than 1.

Such a large number is almost half of the rebel army.

If they enter Chuzhou with such troops, it will be very dangerous if someone messes things up.

If you take your time, it is to recruit the hearts of these surrendered soldiers first, and then attack Chuzhou.

But Zhu Han felt that he couldn't take his time, and had to make a quick decision.

"Brother, we must attack Chuzhou quickly. In today's battle, we can see that Aluhui is decisive and ruthless. Since he was able to set fire to the supplies and grass in Qingyuan Town when he was escaping, then if Chuzhou cannot be kept, he must be We won’t leave a intact Chuzhou for us, if we go late, maybe Chuzhou will be ruined by Alu Hui and turned into a white land.” Zhu Han said.

After hearing Zhu Han's words, the older brother Zhu Yuanzhang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh, why didn't we think of it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The red scarf army attacked Chuzhou, in addition to the territory, it was eyeing Chuzhou's sufficient population and food.

If Aluhui destroyed Chuzhou's population, food and grass, it would be meaningless for the rebels to get an empty city.

"Brother, let's hurry up and gather the surrendered troops in Qingyuan Town, and then rush to Chuzhou, so as not to give Alu Hui the chance to harm Chuzhou!" Zhu Han said.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded immediately, "Okay, I will listen to you!"

The next day, it was just dawn.

Regardless of his wounds not yet healed, Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of soldiers to the surrender camp.

These soldiers from Chuzhou were originally panicked.

They were afraid of being killed by the rebels, and they were unwilling to follow the rebels to attack Chuzhou. Their wives, children, and children were all in Chuzhou, and they didn't want their family members to be hurt.

When Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang of the Red Turban Army came to the surrender camp in person, all the soldiers from Chuzhou were very excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers were only a dozen people, but they went deep into the surrender camp of thousands of people.

This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has great trust in surrendering soldiers!

Sure enough, under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang loudly told Chuzhou to surrender.

"The rebels expelled the Tartars and restored our Han country, and our own people don't kill our own people!"

"When the rebels enter Chuzhou, they will not steal, rob, rape, or kill indiscriminately!"

"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, dare to risk our lives!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words immediately caused a burst of heated discussions in Chuzhou.

They were all half-joyed and half-skeptical about Zhu Yuanzhang's guarantee.

Many people couldn't believe it at first. These days, the officers and soldiers burned, killed and looted like bandits, let alone the rebels with mud legs.

However, Chuzhou surrendered soldiers later told what they had seen and heard.

"This Marshal Zhu is different from those ordinary Red Scarf soldiers. It seems that he really does not rob or kill people."

"Really, with this level of military discipline, isn't it better than the official army?"

"What officers and soldiers, those are Tartar soldiers!"

"Oh, that's right!"

"Tell you guys, I've heard that none of the captives of the Yuan army who were defeated in Haozhou was killed, and they were paid for the travel expenses!"

"What? How is this possible?"

Regardless of whether Chuzhou is willing to believe it or not, the release of the Yuan army's captives by the Red Turban Army in Haozhou still conquered their hearts.

After all, these red scarves are already so strong that they can even defeat the provincial Zhongcheng Aluhui, so it is not difficult to lead them back to Chuzhou.

In the end, all the Chuzhou soldiers expressed their unanimous support for the leadership of Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang.
