The soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward and defeated the central front of the Qing army, which seemed a little confused, to retreat step by step. Almost all the Qing soldiers who refused to retreat were besieged and died. The Qing army on both wings was no better than their companions in the central center. After a day and a night, these Shanxi soldiers only got two hours of rest. Many people had not eaten hot food for more than ten hours, and even eating dry food was a long time ago.

The Qing army, with weak hands and feet, was certainly not a rival to the Ming army. After seeing the Qing army's front being quickly repelled, Sun Sike understood that the defeat was decided even if he did not have a lot of military experience.

"The green camp is really useless. In the past ten years, once we encounter thieves, we only know how to call the Manzhou soldiers to rescue them and ask for reinforcements all day long. Now when we see the thief, we are as scared as if we see our grandfather." Sun Sike knew that things were not done, and said angrily: "Let's go back for a full meal first, and then fight Deng Zhetang the next day."

With extreme contempt for the incompetent Green Camp, Sun Sick ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to retreat immediately.

"Retreat troops." Deputy General Yuan Jia did not order the gold medal, but asked the Niu Lu and his men to inform their subordinates: "If you can't carry armor, throw it away. Let's go back to Chongqing to ask Governor Li to compensate us."

When Deng Ming saw the Eight Banners soldiers located behind the enemy starting to retreat calmly, he sighed softly, shook his head without saying a word.

Deng Ming really wanted to attack the Eight Banners soldiers because this would definitely greatly increase the morale of the Ming army and eliminate the Ming army's fear of the bannermen; the last time when he encountered the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Chongqing, although there were only so few banner soldiers that could make the Sichuan army uneasy, and Yuan Zongdi's subordinates were even more frightened. Now, in Deng Ming's army, the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Gaoyou Lake had basically eliminated the fear of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but others still had doubts. After all, these soldiers grew up and heard that the Eight Banners soldiers were invincible. Only by defeating the Eight Banners soldiers again and again, letting every fellow scholar in Chengdu hear the story of victory from their familiar neighbors can the Chengdu people's fear of the Eight Banners soldiers be finally relieved.

However, the terrain around the battlefield is really difficult to pursue, and there are not many roads that can accommodate hundreds of soldiers. The only road has been blocked by the infantry of the Ming and Qing armies. You can see that the Eight Banners soldiers are retreating, but they cannot send cavalry to pursue them. It is impossible to let the large troops surround. In this terrain covered with hills and woods, it is easy for the entire battalion to get in. It is hard to say whether the system can be maintained when it comes out. It must take a lot of time to reorganize to restore order.

Before the war, Sun Sike drove all the armorless soldiers to the north. Deng Ming didn't know if the other party had already thought of this retreat. Anyway, the Eight Banners of Han retreated quickly. It seemed that they had left all their equipment, and they didn't plan to continue carrying it.

After seeing the Eight Banners soldiers withdraw, the Shanxi Green Camp completely collapsed, but only the northernmost people could escape to no one. The main forces were also limited by the narrow roads and could not escape in all directions. Until this time, there were actually some brave Qing army officers trying to resist, gathering more than a dozen or twenty personal soldiers around them to fight the Ming army to the end.

When the Shanxi Green Camp in the back row fled with the Han Eight Banners, the Ming army began to detour to the flanks of the Qing army's front, surrounding a large number of Green Camp soldiers who had no time to escape from the front.

When the Ming army was conducting such a detour, hundreds of Ganzhou-Shaanxi Green Camp soldiers who stood in front of them surrendered without hesitation. However, they did not throw their weapons and armor on the ground, but shouted loudly for peace. These hundreds of green camps were deployed in the north by Sun Sike in the north to prevent the Ming army from detouring the entire front from the side, but now they have no effect. When the Ming army drove over, the Qing army made orderly leave a passage for the Ming army, and all retreated to the side and stood in a whole team. Seeing that the hundreds of green camp soldiers did not intend to escape, nor surrendered, the Ming army, who was ordered to fight with them, was a little confused, and just divided the troops to monitor them.

After seeing that the Ming army gradually had the intention to surround them, they led these Qing generals from the Green Camp and asked to see Deng Ming.

When the Qing army generals were brought over, the battle between the Ming army and the Shanxi Green Camp continued. Thousands of defeated Shanxi Green Camp were surrounded by the Ming army on the riverside. When they saw that they had no way to retreat, they gathered together to resist.

"King... King..." After Deng Ming saw the person, he thought to himself that he was familiar with the banner. It turned out that this was also an acquaintance. In the last pursuit of Li Guoying, the general was also captured with his personal soldiers. However, Deng Ming could not remember his name, but he only remembered that he seemed to have the same surname as Wang Mingde.

"Wang Xincheng, Deputy General Baoning." The Qing army general smiled and nodded and reported to the house himself: "Admiral Deng hasn't seen him for a long time, so why are you safe?"

"Thank you, General Wang, for your concern." Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Deng Ming jumped off the horse's back and bowed his fists, apologizing for forgetting the other party's name.

"Admiral Deng is polite. I want to negotiate peace." Wang Xincheng told Deng Ming that the hundreds of Gansu-Shaanxi Green Camp soldiers in the north were his personal soldiers, and some of them were bought with cattle after being captured by Deng Ming last time. Originally, Wang Xincheng's mission was to stay in Chongqing and obey Gao Mingzhan's command, but unfortunately Sun Sicke pulled him to the battlefield, and his legs almost broke all day and night. Seeing that Deng Ming was indeed leading the troops on the opposite side, Wang Xincheng and his subordinates made plans to wait and see. If Sun Sicke's group of tired soldiers could not lose, they would naturally stick to their posts; if Deng Ming won as expected, Wang Xincheng would go to negotiate peace, so as not to be rebuilt a year of personal soldiers to be hit by an annihilation blow again.

After hearing the other party's words of peace talk rather than surrender, the guards behind Deng Ming frowned. In their opinion, Wang Xincheng was obviously surrendering. But Deng Ming looked as usual and said politely: "Please say something if you have something to do."

Wang Xincheng's condition is not to disarm, not be captured, nor to hand over the flags and golden drums to the Ming army. After saying his request, Wang Xincheng also added: "If Admiral Deng does not agree, please let the general go back and say it. After Mo Jiang returns, he orders the entire army to throw down his armor and run north. How much can we run out? The brothers who failed hope that Admiral Deng will take care of him. When Mo Jiang returns, he will prepare to redeem the people with a cow. Well, Mo Jiang has already explained it very clearly, so that they will not resist, and they cannot hurt Admiral Deng's subordinates. If they can't run, follow your soldiers honestly."

"I can't consider this condition," Deng Ming thought for a moment and nodded: "But what are my benefits?"

"The General of the Mo can help Admiral Deng two favors." Wang Xincheng first pointed to the Shanxi green camps on the shore that were still resisting: "General Sun told them that Admiral Deng and your subordinates both like to drink alcohol alive. They don't want to watch themselves eaten by the army alive, so they still refuse to surrender. The General of the Mo can send some soldiers to help Admiral Deng persuade him to surrender."

"It sounds okay, but they can't escape anyway. Maybe I can just shout myself." Deng Ming didn't want to lose his troops, but bargaining always starts by belittling the goods in the other party's hands.

"General Sun has bombed more than 10,000 Shanxi Wujia soldiers to the north. If Admiral Deng goes to arrest him personally, they will probably run away. And they are not locals. Even if they are hungry in the future, they may be lost." Wang Xincheng took over: "As long as Admiral Deng lets the personal camp of General Mo and General Mo, the General Mo will send people to call out to the unarmed soldiers. How many strong men are worth a cow?"

Wang Xincheng's subordinates were already very tired and probably couldn't run fast. Wang Xincheng was reluctant to leave the equipment of his own military camp. He knew that Deng Ming would not kill prisoners, so it would be better if an agreement could be reached.

Deng Ming briefly asked about the strength of Chongqing and how many Li Guoying's troops were around Zhong County. Seeing that there were no colleagues beside him, Wang Xincheng gave Deng Ming everything he knew.

"Okay, I agree." Deng Ming thought for a while. When he heard that Chongqing was empty, he felt a little moved, but now he seemed to have missed the best opportunity to attack Chongqing. Now he may have returned some reinforcements, and the Han Eight Banners will also escape back at night to consolidate the city defense. The Ming army needs to identify the prisoners, board the ship again, and then sail to Chongqing to find the landing place. Of course, maybe Chongqing still has nothing, but it takes time and effort to gather troops to board the ship. If Chongqing's city defense is restored, the Ming army will be useless. Not only will Chongqing not get it, but it also loses the time to capture prisoners here.

After reaching an agreement with Wang Xincheng, the Ganzhou Green Camp soon sent an envoy to the Shanxi Green Camp to persuade the surrender. After careful explanation from these colleagues, the Shanxi Green Camp, which was originally determined to be dead, lost its will to resist and soon began to surrender in groups of three or three. In the end, everyone put down their weapons and handed their lives to the Ming army.

It was not until the evening that the Ming army established a camp to detain prisoners of war.

A Ming army soldier who was sent to serve as a prison guard had participated in the battle against Gao Mingzhan and Tan Hong. Before that battle, he was full of fear of the Ganzhou-Shaanxi Green Camp. He heard that the other party was the elite soldiers in the world. However, after the battle, he found that they were just a group of hungry soldiers who kept asking for food from the prison guards. This was the second time he was recruited into the army.

"Do you have something to eat? Give me some food?" Prisoners of war were constantly being taken to prisoners of war camps, including the Qing army's armorless and armored soldiers. Now each of their armor and weapons have been confiscated. If they do not observe carefully, they may not be able to distinguish them.

The prison guards gave each prisoner who asked for food a piece of dry food. There was a well in the camp where they could bring water to drink it.

"Our admiral said that you Shanxi soldiers are what kind of powerful troops, and they just look like this!" Seeing a prisoner grabbing dry food, he immediately swallowed it voluntarily, and the prison guard said sarcastically.

"Aren't our Shanxi soldiers still strong?" The Shanxi man angrily put down his hand holding the food and shouted: "We ran for a day and a night, and we could still wear armor and raise our swords. What's the point of not being the elite soldiers in the world?"
