When the army arrived at Qinwang Mountain, a voice suddenly came from outside the sedan chair, shattering Chen Cai's dream.
Chen Cai's fat face suddenly showed displeasure.
"Sir, the front is Qinwang Mountain. The terrain is steep and it is a good place for an ambush. Should we send more scouts to investigate, and the army should also walk separately to ensure safety?"
The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Jun, the commander of the Green Camp who had escaped.
This guy was sent here by Wang Jiren.
One is to command the 1,500 green battalion soldiers in Changzhou Prefecture, and the other is to lead the way.
Although Zhang Jun suffered a defeat, Wang Jiren admired Zhang Jun somewhat.
Because Zhang Jun is smart enough.
In that situation, he was able to escape with his life and return to Changzhou Prefecture to report the news. This is enough to illustrate Zhang Jun's ability and ability.
Therefore, Wang Jiren not only did not convict him, but gave Zhang Jun a chance to make meritorious service.
Zhang Jun was naturally grateful and vowed to kill Zhu Yang so as to absolve himself of the blame.
Therefore, Zhang Jun was extremely careful.
As the commander of Jiangyin Green Camp, he naturally knew about Qin Wangshan, so he came here specifically to remind the military commander.
However, all Zhang Jun's good intentions turned out to be useless, and Mr. Chen didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
Chen Cai reprimanded directly: "You, a small green camp commander, also want to teach me how to lead troops? No big or small, don't go down quickly, if you overstep again, be careful."
Zhang Jun suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about it. The first level of official rank would crush people to death, let alone not the first level, but many levels.
Frustrated, Zhang Jun had no choice but to return to his army and look at the steep Qinwang Mountain and the sedan chair carried by the eight men.
I cursed secretly in my heart, you damn fat man, you are so fat.
At the same time, I also secretly prayed that there would be no ambush, and there would be no ambush.
Murphy's Law says that the less you want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
No, Murphy's Law has come true for Zhang Jun.
When the army was halfway through the march, there was a sudden loud roar, and countless huge rocks and rolling logs fell from both sides of Qinwang Mountain, and both sides were hit and blocked by an incomparably huge stone.
These two huge rocks were specially moved up the mountain by Zhu Yang. Each one weighs tens of thousands of kilograms and cannot be pushed by any extraordinary force.
In an instant, the entire army was divided into three parts.
Now not only Zhang Jun was dumbfounded, but Mr. Chen from Bingbeidao, who had dreams of promotion, was also dumbfounded.
At this time, it was revealed that Chen Cai's military ability was low.
Logically speaking, in this situation, the first thing to do is to stabilize the morale of the army and form a formation to defend.
There is no need to save the section of the army that is stuck in the mountains, but the two sections outside the mountains can still be saved.
If handled properly, there might be a chance of recovery.
But Mr. Chen, who was marching behind us, was shocked at first and his mind went blank.
Later, when he woke up to the shouts of killing, his first reaction was to run away.
He sternly scolded the bearers and the surrounding troops, escorted him, turned around and ran away to the capital of Changzhou.
No matter what happened to the army in front.
This was also the norm for officials in the Ming Dynasty, who were all like this.
On paper, all of them are military gods, but once they go to the battlefield, they are far behind Zhao Kuo.
Zhang Jun was also the one at the rear, and he was shocked at this time.
Not only was he stunned by the ambush, but he was also stunned by this Lord Hibido.
This is worse than a veteran.
Damn stuff!
Now my head may be in jeopardy.
After much thought, Zhang Jun decided to surrender.
Yes, he decided to surrender to the Taiping Army.
Because this time he escaped back to Changzhou Prefecture, even Wang Jiren would not protect him, and only one of them would be beheaded.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to surrender to the Taiping Army.
Moreover, this guy has some thoughts. Not only does he want to surrender himself, but he also wants to surrender with these 1,500 green battalions.
These green camp troops in Changzhou Prefecture were recruited later and did not participate in the campaign to attack the entire Jiangsu.
Therefore, there is no hatred between these green camp troops and the local people.
In addition, Zhang Jun himself actually had no hatred against the people of Jiangyin.
Although he participated in the Battle of Jiangyin that year, he was just a logistics worker and his hands were not stained with the blood of Jiangyin people.
As for later when he was the commander of Jiangyin Green Camp, he did not harm the people of Jiangyin very much.
Overall, Zhang Jun feels that he can still be saved.
So Zhang Jun began to deceive the fifteen hundred green battalion troops under his command.
"Brothers, you have seen the situation now. The five hundred bannermen have all fallen into the mountains, and most likely they cannot be rescued. The odds are stacked against us. Under such circumstances, if we escape back to Changzhou, the end will definitely be bad.
You might get your head chopped off, don’t you think so?"
All the green camp leaders thought about it and felt that Zhang Jun was right.
Anyway, in the eyes of the banner people, even if a hundred Han people die, not even one banner person will die.
Someone said: "What do you think we should do, Commander?"
Zhang Jun's eyes flickered: "I think we might as well just vote for the Taiping Army on the other side. What do you think?"
Upon hearing that Zhang Jun was about to surrender, everyone suddenly became unpredictable.
You must know that if they surrender, they will face millions of Qing troops.
As for the Taiping Army, it now only covers one county, with no more than three thousand soldiers at most.
The probability of failure is very high.
Zhang Jun naturally saw everyone's concerns.
"Everyone, if you surrender, you may die late. If you don't surrender, you will be beheaded when you return. It's all death. Anyway, I choose to die late. And maybe not only will I not die, but I will also be able to earn a fortune from one of the founding heroes of the country."
Everyone couldn't help but be moved by Zhang Jun's words, but they still had concerns after all.
Zhang Jun said again: "You are all men in charge, why are you so bitchy? If you want to go back to Changzhou, we, Lao Zhang, will never stop you. If you want to surrender to me, just come with me and kill him."
Tatars, it would be nice to make a contribution, right?"
With that said, Zhang Jun strode away, leading his men towards the battlefield on the other side.
The others looked at each other a few times: "That's all, we're all going to die anyway, let's take a gamble."
After saying that, the 1,500 Green Camp troops rushed towards the other side of the mountain.
At this time, Zhu Yang was watching the battle on Qinwang Mountain. Xia Huailong was sweeping back and forth with a sledgehammer on the mountain. No one was his enemy, so he killed everyone with ease.
It was he and his men who messed up the entire Yiniulu Five Hundred and Eight Banners Army.
As for the two sides outside the mountain, there were other people leading the charge, and they both had obvious advantages.
The main reason is that Zhu Yang's Golden Light Divine Spell is too abnormal. It triples the overall strength. Who can withstand this?
Zhu Yangzheng and Xu Dingchuan were enjoying watching, when they suddenly saw a wave of green soldiers rushing towards another wave of green soldiers, and they were a little confused.
What is the situation? Is this internal strife or something else?
Zhu Yang would never have imagined that the leader of the Green Camp he defeated earlier would actually want to surrender to him.
