Chapter 288 Chen Shuncai's Self-Saving Silver Leader
Since Li Chengdong had already issued an order to capture Luke Dehun alive, the personal soldiers were very cautious in their actions.
They gathered together and killed all the guards around the man in silver armor, leaving only this man behind.
In Li Chengdong's opinion, this man in silver armor must be Luke Dehun.
The man was shot and dismounted, and a group of Li Chengdong's personal soldiers rushed over and tied him up.
The man kept cursing, obviously not Chinese.
Li Chengdong waved his hand straight and signaled to take him away.
What Ming Jun had to do next was to clean up the mess.
Seeing that the cavalry on both sides of the Mongolian wings were not good, they had already fled, and the rest were the Han flag cavalry trapped in the middle.
These Han army flag soldiers were originally a little fighting spirit and wanted to resist stubbornly to the end. But seeing that Dorobellekdehn, wearing silver armor, was captured by the Ming army, the breath he was holding in his heart immediately exhaled.
They all threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Ming army.
The Ming soldiers tied them up with ropes without hesitation and held them in custody.
......
......
The Ming army won a great victory in this battle, beheading more than 18,000 people and captured 3,000 people.
It is quite troublesome to be imprisoned so many prisoners. Although these people are Han people from Liaodong, they have now been incorporated into the Eight Banners and are the real Second Tartars.
The Ming soldiers who were in charge of taking care of them did not give them a good look, but only hoped that the general would order all of these people to be executed as soon as possible.
Among them is Chen Shuncai.
Chen Shuncai fell to the ground and pretended to be dead when he saw that the situation was not good.
This move has been tried and done in the past, so Chen Shun was able to escape danger every time by pretending to be dead.
But this time it didn't work.
Ming soldiers finished stabbing every corpse while cleaning the battlefield.
Seeing this, Chen Shun jumped up and surrendered to the Ming army.
It’s better to live than to die. If you can live for a moment, you will be able to live for a moment.
Waiting is torment, because for these Han military prisoners, they don’t know if they can see the sun rise the next day. The fear from the bottom of their hearts can drive people crazy.
It was not until the Ming army drove them to a schoolyard in the city that they understood what to do.
A group of military generals surrounded a man wearing a red dragon costume. It seemed that this man should be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It turned out to be a prisoner!
Most of the prisoners were not too excited. The Emperor of Ming must have hated them to the core, right? It is probably impossible to expect the Emperor of Ming to pardon their crimes. I just hope to give them a pleasure.
The one who bet at the forefront was "Lucedhun". His silver armor had been stripped off and now he was only wearing a single piece of clothing.
Zhu Cixuan came to him surrounded by military generals and asked coldly: "Are you Luke Dehun?"
The man snorted coldly, as if he disdained Zhu Cixuan.
Such a arrogant attitude angered Gao Jie. He stepped forward and slapped "Lucedhun" hard, and scolded him, "The Lord is asking you!"
Zhu Cixuan raised his hand and signaled Gao Jie not to move thickly.
"Gao Qing, can you verify the identity of this person from the prisoner? This matter is serious and there is no need to be negligent."
"This... I haven't checked it yet."
Beads of sweat the size of beans were seeped out of Gao Jie's forehead.
What did Li Chengdong do? He didn't even do the minimum verification of his identity.
"I'll do it right now."
Gao Jie didn't care about shaking his face with Li Chengdong at this moment, and just ordered him to go on and draw dozens of people from the prisoners to verify in front of "Lucedhun".
Unfortunately, most of them had never seen Luke Dehun up close, and had only glanced at him from a distance, but could not tell.
It was not until Chen Shun was brought to him.
The moment he saw "Lucedhun", he concluded that this person was not Dorobel, but an impostor.
This is because Chen Shuncai passed by Luke Dehun when he fled back to the Qing army camp.
He wrote down Luke Dehun's appearance very clearly, obviously not the person in front of him!
Chen Shun realized that this was a great opportunity for him.
If he reported to the Ming army, would he win a glimmer of hope?
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will give it a try!
"He is not Luke Dehun, he is an impostor!"
Chen Shuncai said loudly.
"Lucedhun" obviously couldn't understand Chinese language, and frowned when he saw Chen Shun's tone so high.
And the military generals, including Gao Jie and Li Chengdong, all gasped.
What, is this Luke Dehun fake?
This is awesome!
Isn’t this equivalent to deceiving the emperor?
The emperor is by your side, how should we end now?
Gao Jie's first reaction was to kill Chen Shuncai, so that he would die without evidence.
He quickly drew his sword and was about to slash Chen Shun.
But at this moment, Zhu Cilang scolded sternly: "What are Gao Qing doing!"
Gao Jie was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the knife was hanging in the air.
"Your Majesty, this person is obviously lying..."
Zhu Cilang said indifferently: "I will judge whether he is lying or not. Gao Qing will retreat first."
Gao Jie clasped his fists and said helplessly: "I obey the order."
Zhu Cilang walked to Chen Shuncai and carefully looked at the dark-skinned Han army flagman.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Chen Shuncai."
Chen Shuncai looked up at Zhu Cilang and said carefully.
This emperor looks so pretty and looks like he is sixteen or seventeen.
"You don't have to be nervous, I will answer whatever I ask you."
“Um…”
Chen Shuncai's mood had calmed down a little, and he swallowed and waited for Zhu Cixuan to ask questions.
"You just said that this person is not Luke Dehun, what evidence is there?"
"I have seen Luke Dehun with my own eyes, not this person..."
Chen Shuncai tried his best to explain: "There are few people among these prisoners who have seen Luke Dehun, but there must be. If you don't believe it, please bring them one by one to identify them."
After hearing what Chen Shun said, Zhu Cilang had already had seven or eight points of concern in his heart.
Chen Shuncai had no reason to lie. Because lying would not change anything, and he might be accused of being lying, and the consequences would be even worse.
It is very likely that this Luke Dehun is really an impostor, and such things are common in history.
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
But if all three thousand prisoners were pulled to identify them, the daylily would be cold.
Zhu Cilang then raised his voice and ordered: "Gaoqing, I ordered you to send someone to chase you immediately. When you encounter any fleeing Donggu, you will immediately tie it up and take it back to Linqing."
"I obey the order."
Gao Jie quickly clasped his fists and took the order.
Without confirming the identity of the prisoner, he rashly treated this guy as Luke Dehun to the emperor, almost committing his crime of deceiving the emperor.
Fortunately, the emperor was magnanimous and did not care about him.
Gao Jie thought to himself that he must atone for his merits and capture the true Luke Dehun back.
Fortunately, there were not many Qing soldiers who fled, and they were all exhausted. Sending more people to chase them will definitely lead to capture them all.
