Chapter 432 Surrender
"How many of them are there?" Zhang Yuan was firmly in the central army and was not afraid of the revival of the Liao army.
"There are about two or three thousand people on each side. Do we need to divide our troops to block them?" asked the general.
"What can only two or three thousand people do? Don't pay attention to them!" Zhang Yuan said coldly.
"Okay..." The general obeyed Zhang Yuanwei's order.
The infantry of the Fu Liao Army led by Yang Tai and Grand Duke Karl went roundabout and directly threatened the 30,000 Dashun Army led by Gao Yi's power behind.
"The commander has his own order, and let the Liao army take action. Ignore it. We wait for an opportunity to act." The general who went to Zhang Yuan to ask for battle returned to Gao Yigong's army and said to Gao Yigong.
"The Liao army obviously wanted to detour and cut off our retreat. Does Zhang Yuan have any special methods to deal with them?" Gao Yigong paced left and right, "He must have his intention to think so, so let's wait."
The 130,000 bandits were waiting for Zhang Yuan's order. Yang Tai and others from the Liao army had already captured the main highlands nearby, posing a certain threat to the 130,000 bandits.
Time passed slowly, and Zhang Yuan, who advocated a quick battle and decisive decision, kept calm. However, Gao Yigong and others became anxious.
During this period, the Fu Liao army formed a siege with a small number of more than 10,000 troops, and the artillery also determined the target of the attack.
Gao Yigong, who could not help but be able to hold back, personally brought the officials of the reserve team to find Zhang Yuan.
"Zhang Yuan, the Liao army has appeared in our rear, why hasn't it taken action yet? Didn't it mean that we should fight and decide quickly and let me lead the reserve team to conduct a surprise attack?" Gao Yigong found Zhang Yuan angrily.
"We should launch an attack quickly, otherwise our soldiers will fall into chaos!" The generals around Zhang Yuan also urged.
Zhang Yuan was silent for a while. He pulled out his sword and looked at it, then slowly said, "Listen to my order--"
All the generals of the Dashun Army, including Gao Yigong, were respectful and waited for so long, and finally the war was about to begin.
"Hang up the white flag and surrender to the Fu Liao army!" Zhang Yuan said.
"Okay, let's go and vote now..."
Halfway through Gao Yigong and other generals of the Dashun Army, they found something wrong and were shocked.
"Zhang Yuan, what are you talking nonsense?" Gao Yigong shouted.
"Is it difficult to understand? We have been surrounded by the Fu Liao army. Only by surrendering to the Fu Liao army is the final way out." Zhang Yuan said.
"Zhang Yuan, please pay attention to your words. This is betraying the King of Rebellion!" The general of the Dashun Army, including Gao Yigong, stared at Zhang Yuan.
They really couldn't understand why a second-ranked figure after Li Zicheng in the Dashun Army regime rebelled at the time of the battle. Moreover, more than 100,000 people chose to surrender and restore the Liao army without even attacking. Even if they were defeated and surrendered, they would be more glorious than now!
"Do you need me to say it again? Raise the white flag and surrender to restore the Liao army." Zhang Yuan said coldly.
"What benefits did the Restoration Liao army give you? Is it more than the 30,000 taels of silver given to you by the King of Chuang, and the high-ranking officials have a high salary?" Gao Yigong pulled out his sword: "Everyone, you all heard that Zhang Yuan was rebelling at the battle. I want to kill him on behalf of the Restoration King of Chuang, and serve as the temporary commander to fight the Restoration Liao army to the death!"
"Some things cannot be solved by silver." Zhang Yuan pointed his sword at Gao Yigong.
The two used long swords to confront each other, staring at each other, and both sides moved their steps, and their swords were tense.
The Dashun generals of the Southern Army watched the confrontation between the commanders and deputy commanders of the Southern Army, and were at a loss for a moment.
"Who should we listen to?"
"Zhang Yuan is our commander. He said he wanted to surrender and restore the Liao army. What should we do?"
"We are all surrounded by the Fu Liao army. If we don't surrender, I don't know if we can beat them..."
"Look at whoever can beat whoever is better than that, let's listen to whom?"
A group of generals watched Zhang Yuan and Gao Yigong showdown and discussed in private. Given Zhang Yuan's prestige and the threat of the Liao army outside, they did not dare to move forward.
"Zhang Yuan, you are going to die here today. This is the end of the traitor!" Gao Yigong nervously held the sword in his hand.
"Is that so? Then why don't you come up and kill me? Why are your arms trembling?" Zhang Yuan asked.
"Idiot, are you underestimating me?!" Gao Yigong was so angry that he was embarrassed.
"Fighting alone is something that only idiots will do." Zhang Yuan put down his sword at a critical moment, "take them down!"
At the order of Zhang Yuan, a woman in armor led hundreds of personal soldiers to appear and surrounded these Dashun generals!
Although Zhang Yuan did not actually control any army, and the elite musket battalion and cavalry battalion were handed over to Li Zicheng, he had nearly a thousand personal soldiers. Some of them were his confidants.
"Put down your weapons obediently and don't resist, maybe you can survive." The woman who commanded Zhang Yuan's personal soldiers shouted.
This time, the generals were stunned and couldn't help but regret why they fell into the trap! Some smart generals immediately understood that Zhang Yuan had been holding his troops in a state of disarray, and wanted to make the situation corrupt. These generals could not hold back one by one, so they could catch them all in one place.
"Isn't this the woman you saved in Taiyuan Prefecture? Well, Zhang Yuan, it turns out that you had the opposite intention at that time!" Gao Yigong said with a dark face.
"It is useless to say more. You have been disarmed and it is useless." Zhang Yuan said, "Lianniang, please be optimistic about them. I will take people to hang the flag of surrender to welcome the revival of the Liao army."
"Let me leave it here. It's rare that you will do a good thing." said Lian Niang, the woman rescued by Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
The rebellion of Zhang Yuan happened in the central army of 130,000 bandits, and the peripheral troops did not know what happened. Most of the 130,000 bandits lost their generals and had no leader.
The battle may happen at any time, and every bandit is very nervous, and the commander of the Central Army has no news, which makes them sweaty and overwhelmed.
Suddenly, a white flag was raised from the Dashun Army's position. This white flag was seen by the generals of the Fu Liao Army, military staff and military commanders on the front.
"Military leader, a white flag is raised from the enemy's position. What are they doing?" Liu Xingzha came to Chu Yun in confusion.
"It's really inexplicable. Surrender before the battle was fought. What were they thinking?" Chang Yi, Xu Ji and other infantry generals also came to find Chu Yun.
"No 100,000 people did not have the courage to attack us, and surrendered before the war was started, which must be a false surrender." These generals were talking.
Chapter completed!
