Chapter 127 Surrender "Li, we treat you very well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Wanhu Baoyin started yelling.
If Xu Hongsan hadn't been holding him down, he would have killed Baihu Li Qi immediately.
"Captain Zhu didn't ask for our ransom money just now, but we can't just pretend it's not the case."
Li Qi, a member of the Han army, glanced back at him and responded confidently.
Immediately, he turned his attention to Zhu Ba11 and quickly added: "The deputy envoy of the Huaidong Lian visit, Chu Buha, hates your red scarves the most.
After receiving the warning message from Han Xincheng, he will definitely bring someone here immediately. save" "Li, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry roar.
Several Mongolian soldiers who surrendered with Baoyin shouted and struggled to prevent Li Qi from continuing to betray his family.
"Let's wait until you return to the court."
Li Qi turned back and glanced at Qianhu Baoyin, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"I didn't plan to surrender originally, but you took the lead for me.
You will be fine after you go back, but we, Zhao Qianhu, died in the battle."
At this time, Deputy Qianhu Baoyin and all the Mongolian soldiers became mute and could no longer utter any words of accusation.
They are all Mongols.
After redeeming themselves, of course they can continue to return to the court and do whatever they want.
Centurion Li Qi, however, was a Han Chinese and had no privileges above the law.
According to the military law of the Yuan Dynasty, if the commander Zhao Wandong died in battle, the centurion Li Qi could only risk his life to retrieve his body.
Otherwise, no matter what method he uses to escape the battlefield safely, what awaits him is the fate of being beheaded in public, with no possibility of being forgiven at all.
So the moment Baihu Li Qi put down his weapon, he was destined to be unable to look back.
In this case, it is better to take one more step and tie himself completely to the chariot of the Red Turban Army, betting that he will die personally.
"How many people will Chu Buha bring here?"
Zhu Bayi didn't have time to delve into why Li Qi tried so hard to help him.
He frowned and asked quickly.
"At least five thousand people have recently become involved with Tuotuo.
He doesn't even pay attention to Daru Hua Chi Zhe Dou Tiao on Huai'an Road.
So it's okay if he doesn't come.
If he comes, he can at least bring seven people from Huai'an Road with him.
"Soldiers and horses."
Li Qi thought for a moment and answered quickly.
"So many."
Zhu Bayi was slightly startled when he heard this.
He remembered that Lu Lu had told him personally when he gave him advice.
Currently, there are only over 3,500 defenders in Huai'an City.
How come I killed at least 1,500 people in Hanxin City, but there are still 7,800 or 8,000 people left in the defenders?
"Originally there were not so many."
Anxious to show off in front of Zhu Bayi, Li Qi thought for a moment and added loudly, "The total number of Han and Mongolian soldiers in Huai'an City turned out to be only more than three thousand."
People.
Plus the tax collectors controlled by Liu Tietou, even if they die, they will not be able to collect four thousand.
After hearing that Yue Kuo Cha'er was defeated by you, Chu Buha began to expand his army and ordered many beacon towers to be built along the Yellow River, from Huai'an to Suqian.
However, he never expected that you, the commander.
Leave Suqian behind and head straight to Hanxin City."
"Hiss" Zhu Bayi took a breath of air.
This time the trouble was big.
Old Man Lu's intelligence was inaccurate, and the number of enemy troops was twice as large as expected.

The total number of personal soldiers, combat soldiers and grenadiers on our side is only over 1,300.
The rest are all auxiliary soldiers who are trained only once every five days, and their combat effectiveness is not the same as the first three.
"It's just a mob of 5,000 people.
Let's open the city gate and go up to meet them.
We will catch them off guard."
Wu Liangmou was not afraid of tigers as a newborn, so he took the lead in giving Zhu Bayi an idea.
"It's better to defend the city."
Geng Zaicheng thought for a while and retorted loudly.
"We have few soldiers and have no chance of winning in the field.
We put the artillery and matchlock guns on the city wall and wait for work.
After consuming part of the enemy's troops, some dead soldiers led by General Mo and General Hu will suddenly open the city gate and fight out.
Maybe Able to catch the enemy by surprise."
"Yeah" Zhu Ba11 muttered in a low voice.
What Geng Zaicheng said is indeed a relatively safe idea.
Although the Red Turban Army has a small number of troops, with the advantage of firearms, there is still hope for a defensive counterattack against the enemy.
"You can't do it like this."
Before he could make a decision, Xu Da suddenly ran over from the side and retorted loudly, "Commander, the general thinks that Wu Junjun's method is worth a try.
Although the number of enemy troops is large, there are many young and old in the team.
If it is mixed, morale may not be high, and the command may not be smooth.
And although the number of our troops sounds less than half that of the enemy, it is still a threat.
After a series of great victories, when the morale was at its highest, we drove outside the city to meet Chu Buha before he could kill him, just in time to catch him by surprise and defend the city.
Ha refused to attack the city, but instead set up camp and mobilized soldiers from the surrounding counties to assist in the battle.
If we stay in Hanxin City for one more day, our chances of victory will be reduced by 10%."
It was rare that he had a clear mind, and he could clearly analyze the pros and cons of the two combat plans in a few sentences.
Zhu Bayi was not stupid.
After hearing this, he immediately had an idea in his mind.
He nodded and ordered loudly: "Okay, then the whole army will attack Hong San.
You go and notify Hu Dahai and ask him to open the city gate immediately.
Then ask Ivan and Li Ziyu to bring down the grenadiers and leave the city with everyone.
Meet the enemy."
"Yes" Xu Hongsan agreed, leaving the furious Deputy Wanhu Baoyin behind, and ran towards the city gate.
"You guys, go and gather all the soldiers and auxiliary troops immediately."
Before his back was gone, Zhu Bayi quickly turned his attention to Wu Liangmou, Xu Da, Liu Ziyun, Geng Zaicheng and others, "We don't know the enemy at the moment.
Wherever the army goes, it may not be possible to send out scouts immediately, so although we are fighting in the field this time, we can't waste our energy running against the enemy.
Let's just put the team under the city wall, and then, you see."
Using the butcher's knife specially made for him by the craftsmen to make gestures on the ground, Zhu Bayi quickly arranged his troops.
Still not very skilled, but much more efficient than before.
And each took part from the suggestions of Geng Zaicheng and Xu Da.
Make both of them feel that they are valued.
"Captain, Commander, I am willing to take the punishment and perform meritorious deeds."
Seeing Zhu Ba11's orderly arrangements, Li Qi, a member of the Han army, became heartbroken and half-knelt on the ground to request.
"The Commander-in-Chief has been so kind to me, and I have nothing to repay.
I am willing to wear armor with the Commander-in-Chief and fight to the death with the invading enemies."
Several other captured Han soldiers from hundreds of households and brand heads looked at each other and knelt down one after another.
On the ground, take the initiative to ask for help.

It's not that they were converted quickly, but that Meng Yuan's military discipline was really a bit unhuman.
If Xuzhou Red Scarf is driven away and everyone falls into the hands of Chu Buha, there is a high probability of death.
It's better to simply help the Red Scarf Army kill Chu Buha, and at least bring peace to the adults and children at home.
"Are you willing to help me?"
Zhu Bayi was stunned, a little undecided.
Frankly speaking, this group of Han troops is not too bad in terms of combat effectiveness and resilience.
But what if they betray themselves at a critical moment?
"When the battle comes, I am willing to personally lead the governor's horse and put the stirrup on him."
Li Qi, a member of the Han army, thought very quickly.
Seeing Zhu Bayi's face, he immediately understood how he should win the trust of the other party.
"Young man, if your martial arts skills are passable, you are willing to serve as the governor's personal soldier."
The other two centurions also immediately changed their words, trying to use themselves as hostages to give their brothers a chance to perform.
If these people are left in Hanxin City, the hidden dangers may be even greater.
Zhu Bayi thought for a while and nodded heavily, "Okay, Zhu doesn't need you to be his personal soldiers.
Later, you can call all the brothers who are willing to fight against the Tatars with Zhu, and follow Zhu Yes.
Those who are unwilling to fight against the Tatars, let them leave immediately, and no one is allowed to stay in Hanxin City."
After that, he glanced at Baoyin and others who were filled with hatred, and loudly ordered, "Take them all together and leave the city together.
Zhu asked them to see with their own eyes how Xuzhou Red Scarf dealt with Chu Buha today."
"Yes" Li Qi and other surrendered generals agreed excitedly, turned around and ran to the surrendered troops to recruit men.
Xu Da, Geng Zaicheng, Wu Liangmou and others gathered the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, escorted the Mongolian deputy Wanhu Baoyin and his cronies, and quickly drove out of the city.
It is not a very easy task to carefully deploy a team of nearly 4,000 people.
Almost at the same time, everyone had just adjusted their firepower and team in place according to Zhu Bayi's arrangement.
Not far ahead, the sound of "rumbling" horse hooves could be heard.
"Five hundred cavalry, more than a thousand iron armor, and more than three thousand light armor infantry."
Standing on the enemy tower, Wu Liangmou loudly reported what he saw.
"Five hundred cavalry, more than a thousand iron armor, and more than three thousand light armor infantry" More than twenty specially selected auxiliary soldiers with loud voices, each holding an iron trumpet, repeated with all their strength.
Inform all the brothers in the city about the enemy's situation.
"Archers, less than three hundred archers are hiding near Chu Buha's flag.
In addition, each of the cavalry is carrying a horn bow."
Wu Liangmou opened his voice again and added the details of his observations in a timely manner.
"Archers, there are less than three hundred archers," the auxiliary soldiers repeated mechanically, with a hint of nervousness in their voices, but they all held their chests straight.
"The enemy stopped at the 500-step position.
They are forming a team.
They have discovered us and are preparing to form a team to fight."
"The enemy is five hundred paces away" "Cavalry, they sent out the cavalry first.
There are four centurions on each wing to respond to the cavalry."
"cavalry" "Archers, the enemy's archers are advancing forward, keeping a distance of one hundred and fifty steps from the cavalry.
Following closely behind the archers are five hundred spearmen."
"Archers, enemy archers" Amidst the repetitive sounds of the machine, the chests of the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers became straighter and straighter, and the expressions on their faces became more and more confident.
Isn't it just a battle?
What a big deal!
Every move of the enemy's army has been clearly seen by us, but what we are hiding here, the other side has no idea at all:
