The desperate assault of Wang Mingde and others did attract almost all the attention of the Ming army, but Zhang Yong was still surrounded by dangers, with enemy soldiers still chasing them, and there were also his own defeated soldiers around him.

"I have been through all kinds of storms, how could I die in this place?" Zhang Yong, who has already changed into a military uniform, cheered himself up while moving forward bravely. According to Admiral Zhang's experience, as long as he deals properly, the military soldiers actually have a greater chance of escaping. Especially in this heavy siege, if there is a group of personal soldiers surrounded by him, it will definitely be the key target of the Ming army. The captured soldiers on their side will also report to the Ming army to save their lives. They will see "a large general led a large group of people" to escape in a certain direction, and will not specifically mention a veteran in a tattered military uniform going alone in a certain direction: "When the wolf chases the pig, he knows how to pick a big one, how could I be stupid?"

Since Zhang Yong now gives himself the status of a pig being chased by a wolf, he is determined to be a pig as thin as possible. He dismissed all his personal soldiers and escaped alone. Although he did not attract the attention of the Ming army, this undoubtedly reduced Zhang Yong's self-defense ability. If he could not avoid the Ming army's eyes and ears with his rich experience, he could easily capture him even if only two or three enemy soldiers were present.

Listening to the voices around him, Zhang Yong walked quickly and fled two miles away from the original position of the flag. He did not follow the flow west, but turned around in a circle and turned southeastward. A fierce battle had just broken out here. The winning Ming army may have simply cleaned the battlefield, and they would be attracted to stay away from this place because of the war in the west. Zhang Yong found a fox hole. While squatting at the entrance of the cave, he carefully observed the movements around him.

Zhang Yong knew that this place was not 100% safe. Yuan Zongdi might pass by nearby areas when he returned to the division. It would be best if he could hide in the mountains in the north. If the situation was not good, he would lurk in the mountains and wait for the opportunity. However, Zhang Yong's plan was delayed. Ming army cavalry passed by from time to time on the road, and Ming army auxiliary soldiers were focusing on the captured prisoners. Unfortunately, the detention location chosen by one of the Ming army auxiliary soldiers was still very close to Zhang Yong's hiding place.

When Zhang Yong saw the Ming army blocking a circle on the hill beside him, he wanted to place prisoners of war. If this place was established as a temporary prisoner of war camp, there would be a large number of guards around him, and soon he would find Admiral Zhang at the foot of the invisible mountain. It was not good for this Ming army to go, but it was set up a temporary prisoner of war camp at Admiral Zhang's hideout. This was really a death to Zhang Yong, not a crime of war.

There were more and more soldiers. While the large number of auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army had not yet taken the prisoners, Zhang Yong had to risk leaving his hiding place. The risk he had to take really led to Zhang Yong's in danger. When he slipped into the jungle, two auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army seemed to see a silence. They thought that some of the prisoners had escaped, so they chased him with sticks and searched for them.

The battlefield here has been cleaned, and the advantage is that the Ming army will no longer struggle to check the bodies on the ground. Several people concluded that they had an illusion just now and had already returned, but there were still three Ming soldiers who were still unwilling to give up and were determined to capture the "escape" prisoner.

He walked around a hill with three Ming troops again. Zhang Yong knew that his physical strength was almost at its limit. He had to hide his traces as much as possible. He must not let the Ming army think that there was indeed a Qing army on the run, but he could not be too slow to avoid being followed by the trackers. Such a difficult action was not easy for Zhang Yong, who had first-class survival skills in the wild. Zhang Yong's physical strength was consumed rapidly. At this critical moment, he had no time to find a cave for wild animals. Even if he encountered one, he would not have time to expand it and pretend to be it.

"It's really a tiger falling into the sun and being bullied by a dog." Zhang Yong could see that the stalker was definitely a novice. If it were experienced veterans, they would have been sure that the whereabouts they saw were left by wild beasts and definitely not humans. However, these three inexperienced auxiliary soldiers could not understand Zhang Yong's arrangements, and they still had a solid heart. They insisted on finding the fugitive: "Are I going to die here today?"

Zhang Yong's physical strength was almost exhausted, and the Yangtze River was not far away. But he asked himself that he would be swept away by the river when he jumped down. It would be better to surrender and see if he could hide his identity and escape halfway.

...

When Zhang Yong was in a desperate situation, Wang Mingde's situation was also critical. He and other Qing generals broke through with hundreds of personal soldiers. As Zhang Yong thought, these blind and arrogant guys had no idea that they were just pigs chased by wolves. The huge personal soldiers firmly attracted the attention of the Ming army. Moreover, when the Ming army caught up with other Qing soldiers, any one of them could accurately point out the direction of Wang Mingde and the others' escape.

"Damn the thief Yuan!" Wang Mingde kept cursing, but he didn't know whether he hated Yuan Zongdi more or his teammates more. After discovering that he had fallen into the trap, Wang Mingde insisted on resisting for a moment, and realized that things were impossible, he threw away the flag and fled - this was his failure to take office. If the Ming army had other enemies to solve, he would turn to other battlefields to reinforce, and Wang Mingde had more opportunities to escape.

However, the Qing generals who rushed into the encirclement with Wang Mingde threw away the flag together. Since there was no other battlefield to reinforce, the Ming army chased the enemy troops in front of them. If they had known that they were so unlucky, it would be better to resist to the end and could have persisted for a while. But Wang Mingde thought in a blink of an eye, it was wrong. If I were the only one holding the flag, wouldn't it be for other bastards to escape? Well, bastards, everyone threw the flag and ran away, which would be much better than letting me break the rear alone. If I couldn't run away, I wouldn't have thought of running away.

Leading hundreds of personal soldiers to rush around the defeated soldiers, Wang Mingde hated his colleagues who refused to sacrifice themselves and attracted firepower. As for the Admiral Zhang who sent fake signals to trick everyone, Wang Mingde's feelings for him were almost impossible to describe as "hate". It was an instinctive emotion similar to those who wanted to kill bed bugs and mosquitoes. However, Wang Mingde probably wouldn't be his turn to do it himself. Judging from the situation in front of him, Zhang Yong might have been dismembered by the Ming army.

"Personal General Yuan Jia, where are you?" Wang Mingde shouted pitifully, but no matter how he looked around, he could not find the eight banners of the Han Dynasty.

Wherever Wang Mingde went, the Ming army surrounded him. Several other companions who threw away the flag were captured one after another. The Ming army surrounded him layer by layer, trapping Wang Mingde in a smaller and smaller encirclement. As more defeated soldiers surrendered, Wang Mingde finally found that he and the personal soldiers around him were about to face the entire Ming army.

"Yuan Thief! The bandits drove your grandfather so tight!"

The fear of death enveloped Wang Mingde's heart. He spat fiercely, and the front was blocked again. The faces of the soldiers beside him were full of despair, but where else could they escape? Yuan Zongdi's soldiers were everywhere. It was time to see whether they were dead or alive. Many soldiers showed fierce light on their faces and their eyes were shining with ferocious expressions. After they were completely desperate about the situation, the fierceness in their hearts was completely aroused.

"Stop it, wait!" Wang Mingde stopped his subordinates' dying struggle. He had more than 200 or less than 300 die-hard confidants around him. The rest of them were either dead or injured, and they were nowhere to be found. Looking at the remaining subordinates, Wang Mingde suddenly gave up the idea of ​​breaking through and asked left and right: "We have never killed the Ming army, right? Is there any? If anyone has blood on his knife, wipe it clean quickly, hurry up."

"Duke Yuan, Duke Yuan." Looking at the flag of Yuan Zongdi that had just appeared, Wang Mingde rode his horse in front of the second horse, and waved a few notes on his arms: "The last general is Wang Mingde. This is the exemption of death coupon from the last general by Admiral Deng of the Yangtze River. It is the exemption of death coupon!"

Looking at Wang Mingde who was coming alone, Yuan Zongdi frowned and ordered: "Let him come."

Some of the Qing generals who were captured just now took out something similar, saying that it was a coupon given by Deng Ming that could be used to redeem his life. Yuan Zongdi had heard Deng Ming say this before he went to Jiangnan last time, but he just used a joke at that time, but he didn't expect that the Qing army would really keep it.

Wang Mingde honestly came to Yuan Zongdi and saluted, saying that he did not surrender, but came to negotiate peace: "This is a death penalty given by the Admiral of the Yangtze River. There is the signature of the Admiral of the Yangtze River below. Please check it out."

Someone had taken out a coupon before Wang Mingde, but Yuan Zongdi just looked at this thing carefully before he could read it carefully now.

"It was indeed the signature of Admiral Deng." Yuan Zongdi's guard and staff also confirmed the authenticity of the coupon, but a sharp-eyed person pointed out to Yuan Zongdi: "Duke, look at this date, it seems to have expired."

"No, no." Wang Mingde shouted: "This date is the first time that the Mi General was captured, but later the Mi General was captured by Admiral Deng again. That time, Admiral Deng said that the days were updated, but there was no time to change it at that time. I guess Mr. Yuan had heard of this, right?"

Yuan Zongdi heard Deng Ming say that he caught Wang Mingde again when he passed by Chongqing, and it seemed that he had something to do with the discount coupon, but Yuan Zongdi did not have a deep impression of the specific details.

"Admiral Deng promised a fortune and said that this vacancy for death was useful to all Ming troops." Seeing that Yuan Zongdi did not veto it completely, Wang Mingde had more hope: "The last one will return this vacancy for death, and hope that Yuan Gong will keep his promise and let the last one pass."

"Yeah." Yuan Zongdi was also a little hesitant. He didn't know what Deng Ming had planned to send this coupon, but it must have a deep meaning. This thing was not given by Yuan Zongdi. He turned against him and refused to admit his concession, and it was not even considered a breakup of the contract. However, he was worried that this would lead to the failure of Deng Ming's early arrangements. No matter how you look at it, Yuan Zongdi felt that Deng Ming had a big plan for the coupon for Wang Mingde and others.

Yuan Zongdi has a close relationship with Chengdu, and his nephew speaks very strongly in Chengdu. Now he is said to have been promoted to the prefect of Xuzhou. Almost all the food and equipment of Wanxian were given by Deng Ming. Although Deng Ming did not ask, Yuan Zongdi could not ignore Deng Ming's interests.
