The soldiers who had been trained for about half a year were also not much better. They put on clothes and ran for their lives.

There are only more than 1000 real veterans, and they don't need to give orders from their superiors. They spontaneously carry weapons and move closer to Tian Younian's residence.

This magistrate really has a way of training soldiers!

It was Xie Xuelong's subordinates. If they encountered such a situation at the beginning, they would have scared the entire army to lose their organization.

Each sentry tower has six archers.

Huang Yao was the first to rush to the outskirts of the camp, the wall was as high as a person.The fellow threw away the torch, struck the ground with a long spear, and used his strength to easily rush through the wall of the village, then killed two gatekeepers, and opened the southern gate of the village.

"Shhhhhh!"

On the two nearby sentry towers, twelve archers fired arrows, only hitting four targets in a panic.

"Take the tower!"

The two chiefs who rushed in first immediately led the nearby soldiers to seize the sentry tower according to the predetermined plan, and the rest followed Huang Yao and continued to kill inside.

"Mother!"

"Forgive me!"

Some fleeing officers and soldiers were killed by Huang Yao's troops, and they just ran with their heads covered in the dark.

Zhao Han in the east was hit by an arrow, but he was not injured yet.An arrow hit the cotton-padded clothes under the ribs, and pierced the clothes diagonally, almost sticking to the flesh.

He led his troops straight to the deeper part of the barracks, and Zhang Tieniu and Li Zheng led their troops to capture the tower respectively.

Zhang Tieniu had also thrown away the torch, without a shield, and was climbing up the ladder frantically.The enemy's archers were even more flustered than him, and they were hanging their bows with trembling hands. One arrow hit Zhang Tieniu's shoulder, another shot down the soldiers behind him, and all the other arrows shot to nothing.

"kill!"

Zhang Tieniu had already climbed up, facing the spears of the sentry.

This guy was really reckless, he stretched out his right arm to block, his sleeve was pierced by the tip of the gun, and his arm was also cut a big hole.Another long spear came, Zhang Tieniu dodged shortly, took out an ax while dodging, and chopped off half of the enemy's palm with one axe.

Two sentries with guns, plus six archers, Zhang Tieniu rushed in with an ax in hand.He first wounded one person, then killed another, and then charged sideways, knocking an archer off the sentry tower.

Finally, teammates rushed up and killed all the remaining enemies.

"Kill the enemy!"

Holding his ax high, Zhang Tieniu roared down from the sentry tower and rushed to the main battlefield in the barracks.

Tian Younian didn't take off his clothes at all, he was even wearing armor.After waking up, he immediately took off the bow and arrow and the sword, and walked out of the barracks to let the trumpeter blow the trumpet to gather the soldiers.

More than 300 elite veterans quickly surrounded Tian Younian and formed an army formation.

Fortunately, Zhao Han raided Binjiang Town by surprise and took away hundreds of veterans, including more than 100 archers.Otherwise, there must be more than 800 elites around Tian Younian at this time.

This guy runs the army very strictly, and the military pay is never deducted.

To be able to support so many soldiers, in addition to donating money and food from big households, there must be an extraordinary method.For example, in the suppression of bandits in Pingxiang County, two big landlords were killed without any hassle, and they declared that it was a good deed done by the bandits, and took a large amount of money and food as military pay.

Facing the tight formation, Huang Yao didn't dare to approach at all, and formed a formation far away to wait for the arrival of friendly troops.

Tian Younian didn't dare to make an attack either. Although both sides lit up torches, the formation would be messy when charging in the dark, and there were bandit troops coming from his north and east.

Surrounded by rebels on three sides, there are more than 400 people.

In the besieged camp of Tian Younian, there were only more than 300 soldiers, but there were more than 800 archers.

Zhao Han couldn't help admiring: "Tian Zhifu is really powerful. In terms of military training talent, he is already comparable to the famous generals of all dynasties!"

"Are you Zhao Yan from Luling?" Tian Younian asked.

"Exactly." Zhao Han replied.

Tian Younian said with a smile: "You are not bad either, you can lead soldiers across snow and mountains."

"Let's surrender." Zhao Han didn't want to attack by force, the opponent's archer was a headache.

"Okay." Tian Younian immediately agreed.

"Ok?"

Zhao Han was a little surprised on the contrary, Tian Younian surrendered too readily.

Tian Younian said: "My hometown is in Shaanxi, and the whole family died at the hands of bandits. Some time ago, there was news that my father and brother were also killed in battle. The Tian family has repaid Jun's kindness, and the rest should be considered for myself. I am in Yuanzhou Fucheng There is a concubine who is almost two years old after giving birth to a son, this is the only incense left in the Tian family."

Well, thanks to the rogue bandits in Shaanxi, Tian Younian's worries have been eliminated.

Chapter 148 [It's Not a Fake Surrender]

The two sides confronted.

Zhao Han ordered the trumpeter to prepare, and said to Tian Younian again: "Prefect Tian, ​​in this situation, are you planning to feign surrender?"

It was true that there was no need to fight. Tian Younian's advantage was that he had more shooters, but his disadvantage was also that he had more shooters.

Its military strength is only half of Zhao Han's at the moment, and it is surrounded on three sides.If Zhao Han attacked regardless of casualties, the archer could only shoot one round, and the quick hand could shoot the second arrow, and then he would have to face close combat strangulation.

"Ugh!"

Tian Younian untied his bow and arrow, threw it away together with his saber, walked out of the army formation alone and said, "Two men, just tie me up."

Zhao Han really sent someone to tie up this guy, and Wuhuada tied him up in front of him.

"I'm sorry," Zhao Han explained with a smile, "Tian Zhifu is a well-trained soldier, so I have to be on my guard. Besides, your surrender was so abrupt that I couldn't believe it."

With his hands and feet tied, Tian Younian turned his head and shouted: "Everyone put down their weapons, this person will not kill indiscriminately!"

Just when Huang Yao and Huang Shun were receiving the soldiers, Zhao Han asked curiously, "The prefect of Tian seems to know me very well?"

"I have a scholar from Luling under my command," Tian Younian explained, "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. To fight a war, you must find out the enemy's situation. After the autumn harvest last year, I sent out spies. I have already found out what you are doing. Clear."

"Good trick!"

Zhao Han was not surprised by this, probably not only Tian Younian's spies, Li Maofang and Wang Siren should also have sent spies.

Tian Younian continued: "For rebels like you, we must either destroy them quickly, or defect as soon as possible. At the beginning, I made an appointment with Governor Li and Wang Qianshi, and we will send troops together after the Lantern Festival. And we can't divide the troops to avoid being caught by you." Destroy each of them. After you went down to Fenyi County, I gathered troops and horses, trying to besiege you in Fenyi County, and let them quickly bring troops to join forces to besiege."

"Do you think I can accomplish something?" Zhao Han asked.

Tian Younian smiled bitterly and said: "Whether you will be successful or not, it's hard to say for the time being, this will definitely end tomorrow."

Tian Younian's hometown is in Shaanxi, and he himself comes from a military officer's family. No one is more familiar with the extent of Daming's corruption than him.His whole family was killed by bandits. Besides his parents, he had three sons and two nephews.Some time ago, my father and brother also died in battle, so what hope can we have?

The only hope is to rely on military exploits to win a wife and son.

But Tian has been in Yuanzhou for more than four years. First, he wiped out the bandits, and then wiped out the rebels. He also presented bows and arrows to the emperor every year.

For such various achievements, only in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the emperor praised him once, sent him two taels of silver as a reward, and raised his monthly salary by six shi.Then there was no response, no promotion, no reward.Even the bow-making subsidy specially approved by the emperor was deducted by some bastard, anyway, the money did not leave the capital.

Tian Younian's promotion path has been blocked by the court, and if he wants to continue to be promoted, he must send money to the official department.

Or, make a great contribution in besieging Zhao Han!

So Tian Younian was very active in military training, and he could only make meritorious service by conquering Zhao Han, because all the money he exploited was used for military training, and he had no money to give gifts to those idiots in the official department.

At this moment, he was besieged by Zhao Han's surprise attack, and his last hope was shattered.He also wanted to keep his concubine and son in the city, and the last incense of his Tian family, what else could he do other than surrender?

Not only surrender, but also sell teammates.

Tian Younian suddenly said: "Governor Li Maofang and Wang Siren should have received my secret report, and they may be gathering troops to rush to Fenyi County."

"The Duchang Rebel Army is gone?" Zhao Han asked.

Tian Younian replied: "It disappeared a month ago. The officers and soldiers besieged the city for many days, and the rebels began to fight among themselves. After fighting each other, they offered the city to surrender."

Zhao Han and Tian Younian didn't know that Li Maofang and Wang Siren would not come to Fenyi County due to the sudden event in the north.

Last winter, rogue bandits ran across Henan, and the imperial court urgently dispatched troops from six provinces to encircle and suppress them.

Before the officers and soldiers could complete the encirclement, the bandits rushed out of the encirclement and went straight to the ancestral grave of Lao Zhu's family - Fengyang.

At this moment, Li Maofang and Wang Siren have sent troops, leading thousands of land and water troops to support Fengyang, the central capital.Compared with the ancestral grave of the old Zhu's family, the Zhao bandits in Luling are nothing, and they can be encircled and suppressed slowly.

Even if Zhao Han didn't attack at night and was besieged by Tian Younian in Fenyi County, the final outcome would be the same, because Tian Younian couldn't wait for reinforcements.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, he used to cover his private house and refused to give money.

But since it was used once for disaster relief, there must be a second time.His family's ancestral graves were in danger, and the tens of thousands of soldiers were underpaid. Chongzhen finally used internal money for the second time, this time to pay the soldiers on the front line.

Well, the emperor's ancestral grave was in danger, and the soldiers took the opportunity to fight for pay.

The soldiers can't be blamed either, they were still chasing the bandits in the snow during the Chinese New Year, but they couldn't get the payable money for a long time.

How about not paying overtime wages during the Chinese New Year?

……

Seeing that Zhao Han had finished receiving the surrendered soldiers, Tian Younian suddenly said, "Give me a thousand soldiers, and I will take people to fraudulently open the city."

"it is good!"

Zhao Han immediately asked the soldiers to change their clothes, put on the clothes of the officers and soldiers, and took the weapons of the officers and soldiers, and surrounded Tian Younian to go to the city.

The battle tonight was very bizarre, Zhao Han thought there would be a bloody battle, but Tian Younian surrendered so neatly.

The next step was acting. There were shouts and killings in the barracks, shouting while running, and shouting all the way to the foot of Yuegong Ridge.

With disheveled hair and hair, Tian Younian smeared blood on his face, accompanied by Zhao Han himself, went to the city of fraud.He was even more anxious than Zhao Han, because the concubine and his son were in the city, they were the only relatives he had in this world.

The fucheng has already turned upside down. The soldiers who fled back from the barracks, as well as the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the grain and grass by the river, all fled outside several city gates.They wanted to enter the city to escape, but the defenders in the city did not open the door, fearing that there would be fraud and lose the city.

"Step aside!"

Tian Younian gave a loud shout.

"The Fu Zun is here!"

"Fu Zun killed the traitor!"

"..."

All the deserters were ecstatic, and they all made way for Tian Younian.

Tian Younian scolded angrily: "You run away before the battle, and you will be punished tomorrow!" He came to the bottom of the city and roared towards the tower, "I am Tian Younian, the bandits have been killed, open the city and let me in. Also, I sent someone to find the doctor, but all the doctors and doctors in the army have fled, and I have a wounded soldier who needs to be treated immediately!"

This guy is very prestigious in Fucheng, after only ordering, the defenders dare not say anything, and rushed to open the city gate.

Zuo Xiaocheng was also among the deserters, he tried his best to squeeze forward, but was blocked by Zhao Han's soldiers, he couldn't squeeze through at all.I had to shout: "Fu Zun, I am Zuo Xiaocheng, a Luling scholar!"

No one paid him any attention.

Suddenly, the gate of the city was opened wide, and Zhao Han led his troops to surround Tian Younian and entered.

"kill!"

After entering the city, Zhao Han stabbed the guard to death with a single shot, and thousands of soldiers rushed towards the tower.

Tian Younian shouted: "I have already surrendered, you should surrender quickly too!"

It's a pity that the shouts of killing were so loud that countless officers and soldiers were caught off guard and fled one after another after being killed. No one listened to him at all.

Tian Zhifu is also a thief?

Hearing the shouts of killing inside the city gate, Zuo Xiaocheng turned pale with fright, and immediately fled to the river.

His mind went blank, not knowing what was going on.

He took refuge in Xie Xuelong, but Xie Xuelong was defeated and died.He came to join Tian Younian again, but he turned out to be even more powerful, and actually surrendered the rebel directly.

There was complete chaos in the city, and some people even started setting fire, trying to take the opportunity to rob money.

Tian Younian saw the flames soaring into the sky, and immediately said anxiously: "Quickly dispatch a group of soldiers and follow me to capture the mansion, my son is still inside!"

I can't care about the future.

That one-year-old son is Tian Younian's heart and soul, the only remaining bloodline of the Tian family.

After Zhao Han occupied the southern tower, he immediately said to Huang Yao: "You lead the troops and follow Mr. Tian to occupy the government office!"

Tian Younian was surrounded and ran, and soon came to the government office, he immediately shouted: "Open the door, I am Tian Younian."

The gate of the government office opened quickly, and Huang Yao led people to occupy the place.Tian Younian didn't care about anything, he trotted straight to the backyard, where his concubine was trembling with his son in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Xi'er, I'm back." Tian Younian comforted softly.

He was nearly fifty years old, and all three sons died. This youngest son was hard-won.

Even this little concubine is nothing more than a servant girl, and the mother is loved and doted on because of her son.After giving birth, she was immediately accepted as a concubine, and she planned to make a sequel in the future.

Until dawn, Tian Younian patrolled the city to collect the remnants of the soldiers, his concubine and son were taken as hostages, and Huang Yao sent people to guard them.
