A great victory, a hearty victory, an unprecedented victory!

The news of the rebel army's victory spread throughout Luoyang instantly like ink dripping in clear water.

Some people are in disbelief, some are fearful and panicked, and some are ecstatic.

The Red Lady, Zhang Shenyan, Song Xiance, Lu Weiqi, Zhao Yutou, Lao Shanchang Zuo Lengchan and others could hardly believe it when they looked at the scene outside the city that was like the Asura Hell, and the officers and soldiers who were being hunted down and forced to surrender in the Asura Hell. of the rebels.

People are everywhere, all over the mountains and plains. There are dead people and living people; there are rebels and officers and soldiers; some are chasing after each other, some are resisting desperately, and some are already lying on the ground with their bodies drained of blood.

The shouts, the sounds of fighting, the noise of drums, the sound shook the sky; the big banner, the five-party flag, the fang flag, the flag was fluttering!

Although the rebels were numerous, they were still in good order. There are fully organized troops, with battalions as units, to encircle and suppress the besieged troops such as Bai Guangen, Ai Wannian and Zuo Guangxian.

There are small teams of men and horses, using flags as units, to capture and collect the scattered officers and soldiers.

The smaller establishment is based on teams and corps, collecting the armor and weapons discarded by the officers and soldiers, and taking care of the seriously injured officers and soldiers who are still alive.

Under the escort of this team, the nurses began to enter the battlefield, search for the wounded of the rebels, apply medicine and bandage them. If there are people with serious injuries, they will be carried on stretchers and prepared to be transported to the city for diagnosis and treatment.

The battle continued until night. Due to the obstruction of the night, Zhang Shun reluctantly led the Yulin camp back to the city.

After a hard day's work from morning to night, Zhang Shun didn't drink even a drop of water and was almost exhausted.

Although he did not fight as hard as the rebel soldiers, his hard work was no less than the soldiers' hard work.

Under extreme mental stress, Zhang Shun's brain was running crazily, adjusting his deployment in real time according to the battlefield situation, issuing orders and directing more than 20,000 troops to fight, and he was already exhausted physically and mentally.

As soon as he entered the gate of Luoyang City, Li Xiang and Liu Rushi, who had prepared food and medicine, were about to greet him. But he was stopped by Zhang Shun's stern eyes.

Zhang Shun stopped his horse, and Wang Jinyi quickly stepped forward to help him down. Hong Niangzi, Zhang Shenyan, Song Xiance, Lu Weiqi and others all came forward to greet them, and a sea of ​​people and gentry in the city had already surrounded them.

Zhang Shun motioned to Zhang Shenyan, then sat down on the seat that the soldiers had just placed.

Zhang Shenyan looked at Zhang Shun, who was holding on, and then at the people in the crowd who had followed Zhang Shun in. Several of them were looking downcast, with unlucky looks on their faces.

He understood something in his heart and couldn't help but explain to others in a low voice: "King Shun is going to hold a surrender ceremony, and I am going to host it!"

Zhang Shun grinned when he heard this and pulled out a difficult smile.

Zhang Shenyan knew that he had guessed correctly, so he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "On the 13th of the first month of the eighth year, King Shun led a group of rebel soldiers to defeat Hong Chengchou, the governor of five provinces, outside Luoyang City. He killed the captured officers and soldiers in vain. , there are countless weapons, armors and horses.”

"We also captured several officers, soldiers and generals, and several surrendered before the battle. King Shun is kind and does not want to cause more killings. Anyone who is willing to submit to the rebel army can surrender and surrender to King Shun!"

At this time, the rebel generals and the people watching realized what King Shun was going to do. They couldn't help but get excited and shouted: "King Shun is mighty!"

When the generals who originally surrendered to the rebels heard this, their expressions changed, they looked at each other, lowered their heads and sighed.

Not long after, when the cheers of the crowd had subsided, a man in coarse clothes came forward and shouted angrily: "If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please. How can you insult us?"

When Zhang Shenyan saw that this person was an unknown person, he ordered: "Drag this person down, so as not to affect the surrender ceremony of King Shun!"

Immediately, two soldiers held the man hostage, one on the left and the other on the right, and dragged him out. After a while, the field fell silent.

Seeing that no one came forward, He Renlong simply volunteered to stand up, bowed three times and kowtowed and said: "A certain general, He Renlong, feels the benevolence of King Shun and is willing to surrender to King Shun, even if I die!"

Zhang Shun couldn't speak, so he had to help the man up under the protection of Wukong, then took his hand and pulled him among the generals.

Even though it was just a simple form, He Renlong couldn't help but feel relieved. From now on, he is considered one of the rebels, and his life is saved.

As soon as He Renlong left, Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, also stood up quickly. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He first bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, banging his head, and then shouted loudly: "Chai Shihua, the general of Gansu Province, pays homage to King Shun."

"King Shun will rise, Ming Dynasty will fall! The Ming Dynasty commander Hong Chengchou was incompetent, which affected thousands of armies. He was defeated again and again, and was powerless! Chai knew the current affairs and was a hero. He surrendered to Shun before the battle and opened the camp gate; he also helped the rebel army to defeat Officers and soldiers, seize the large banner of the Chinese army. Chai would like to take this as a gift to thank King Shun!"

Cough cough cough! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at him sideways, and thought: "It's a matter of loyalty to the emperor to eat the emperor's salary. This guy has no loyalty. He turns out to be a villain!"

Zhang Shun actually has some prejudice against Chai Shihua, but now is the time to employ people, how can he say, "This man is unfaithful and unjust, drag him out and chop him down"? He still followed the same method and pulled Chai Shihua down among the generals.

At this time, Bai Guangen took a look. Since He Renlong and Chai Shihua had surrendered, and he was originally a bandit, what could he hold on to?

He also quickly stood up and kowtowed to Zhang Shun: "A certain general Bai Guang'en was also a brother of the rebel army. But when he was fighting with the officers and soldiers, he was at a disadvantage and had to surrender. Now Bai Guang'en has returned to his position. Please also ask King Shun to take care of you!"

Zhang Shun nodded. He originally wanted to ask a few questions, but his voice was not good enough, so he had to give up. He followed suit and pulled Bai Guangen among the generals to show his willingness to surrender. Immediately, several more junior colonels and generals were demoted one by one, and Zhang Shun also accepted them one by one.

Zhang Shenyan waited for a while, but when no one else came forward, he just said that the matter was over and was about to announce the end. Unexpectedly, Wang Jinyi came over, stretched out his hand and handed him a note.

Zhang Shenyan took a look under the light and saw that it was Zhang Shun's handwriting. He couldn't help but feel happy, and almost shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over!"

"King Shun was wise and powerful. He came back from the dead and defeated the army today. He captured his commander Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces. He beheaded the Lintao commander-in-chief Wang Chengen, the deputy commander-in-chief Ai Wannian and the deputy commander-in-chief Liu Chenggong. He surrendered to the commander-in-chief of Gansu again. Officer Chai Shihua, staff general He Renlong, staff general Bai Guangen, and only Shaanxi commander-in-chief Zuo Guangxian are at large."

"In this battle alone, the generals led by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, including three generals, three deputy generals and two generals, either died or surrendered. Only Zuo Guangxian, the chief general of Shaanxi Province, escaped, and one of the 40,000 Qin soldiers Mourning at the end of the dynasty!"

"Long live, long live, long live!" When Zhang Shenyan shouted here, someone suddenly shouted, and there was a response, and the people and soldiers in Luoyang City cheered.

For a month, the depression of having troops approaching the city was suddenly gone. People rushed to tell each other that the city of Luoyang seemed to be alive again!
