Everywhere was covered with blood and flesh from the explosions of falling shells. At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had lost all their morale and only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible. However, at this time, there was a problem with the horses they were riding. It seemed as if their legs had no strength, and they ran slower and slower, like old oxen pulling a broken cart.
Although Zhou Fenglin was a good general, he was only a good general relative to this era. He never dreamed that Tang Tong would put a powerful laxative in the well water in the villages dozens of miles away. This laxative was developed by Tang Tong's research institute with a lot of effort. It would not take effect immediately, but would take some time. However, once it took effect, it would be more powerful than ordinary laxatives. This action had long been under Tang Tong's control. Using the minimum cost to achieve the greatest results has always been Tang Tong's combat thinking. It was precisely because the 10,000 soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry were poisoned by this laxative that not a single one of them escaped. The Guanning Iron Cavalry, which had lost its horsepower, could no longer be considered an Iron Cavalry.
Without even using the volley gun positions, the 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Zhou Fenglin fell apart in the artillery fire. Although the artillery shells did kill a lot of Guanning Iron Cavalry, about 6,000 of the 10,000 still escaped. However, because the horses were drugged with laxatives, their mobility was lost, and they were captured one by one by the cavalry teams under Tang Tong. There were many strong men among those people, but they were exhausted by the laxatives and wanted to resist, so they had to be captured.
Although Zhou Fenglin was injured, he was lucky enough not to be crushed to death by the people who fell into the trench later. When he was brought to Tang Tong, Tang Tong was sitting leisurely in a military tent enjoying a massage from a woman. Zhou Fenglin was very convinced that he was captured. The other party won by conspiracy and trickery, and was not a hero. What's more, there were women in the military camp. As a self-conscious soldier, Zhou Fenglin looked down on people who enjoyed themselves with beautiful women on the battlefield. In Zhou Fenglin's view, such people were the kind of trash and treacherous ministers in operas.
Actually, Tang Tong brought his men here this time to negotiate with Emperor Chongzhen. It was not a battlefield, so Tang Tong brought Chen Yuxian and Dayuer with him. Seeing his men bringing a young man in, Tang Tong looked the man up and down and felt that this man looked like a fierce general. If it was on the battlefield of cold weapons, such a fierce general would be a good talent, but Tang Tong's men were mostly equipped with hot weapons. What he needed was not a fierce general who could beat ten of them at once, but a smart person. Tang Tong did not have the intention of recruiting a fierce general.
"Who is this guy? Why did you bring him here?" Tang Tong asked the people who pushed Zhou Fenglin in. Now Tang Tong basically didn't need to go to the battlefield to command his men to fight, so he didn't know who the person who was brought here was. In fact, Tang Tong didn't need to ask about ordinary people himself.
"Your Highness, this man is the commander of the Guanning Army this time, Zhou Fenglin, the general of Shanhaiguan." A small leader stepped forward and Tang Tong answered. This kind of thing was not something a small leader like him could decide. After capturing Zhou Fenglin, he learned from other Guanning soldiers that this man was a big shot, so he naturally wanted to bring him to Tang Tong for inspection.
"Oh, the general of Shanhaiguan? He is really young." Tang Tong looked at Zhou Fenglin in surprise, and thought to himself, I didn't expect that the Wu Sangui in history died, and a completely unknown young man appeared in Shanhaiguan to be the general. He was so young and he got the position of general. It seems that the Ming Dynasty really has no talents.
Zhou Fenglin felt a little annoyed when he saw Tang Tong's suspicious eyes. He thought, "You are only a few years older than me, and you are the only one who can be the prince. Why can't I be the general?" One of Tang Tong's soldiers pushed Zhou Fenglin and said, "You are here to see our prince, and you don't kneel down quickly. Do you want us to do anything?"
"I am the general of the Ming Dynasty. How can I kneel before you traitors?" Zhou Fenglin snorted lightly, a little arrogantly. He felt that he was a hero and should stand tall and upright like a hero.
"Really? If you don't want to kneel, then don't kneel. Come, drag him out and chop him off." Tang Tong smiled slightly, looking at the young general of the Ming Dynasty in front of him. Seeing that he still had some youthful childishness, he felt a little teasing in his heart, thinking that this guy wanted to be a hero, so I'll let you give him a scare first.
