Xue Rengui led the army to charge all the way. It was unstoppable. With a horse spear, he was so magical that he was unpredictable. No one could stop him. He quickly reached the vicinity of the Governor's Mansion.
"Who is coming?"
A roar sounded, and then, an army rushed out from the diagonal stab. The general at the head was majestic, with sharp eyes, and his tall body gave people a sense of oppression.
But how could Xue Rengui, who came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, care about this pressure? Ma Shan pointed forward and shouted: "Who are you? Tell me your name."
"An Yuanshou, the governor of Qizhou, is the one!"
When Xue Rengui heard that he was the governor of Qizhou, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "You and I are both from the Tang Dynasty. If we have any grudges, we should kill each other to the death and let the soldiers die in a vain battle. It's better for you and me to fight. If we lose and surrender, we will lose."
Do you dare to withdraw from Qizhou?"
"Are you afraid?"
An Yuanshou was worried and didn't know how to turn the tide. His eyes lit up and he shouted: "Back then, my father, with one man and one horse, conquered the Liang Kingdom, opened up the territory for the great ancestor, and stabilized the rear. How majestic and majestic it was. How could I be greedy for life and afraid of death?"
I will give you a chance to fight alone today, come on!"
"kill!"
There was more respect in Xue Rengui's eyes. On the battlefield, the best way to treat someone you respect is to go all out and drive the horse forward. The horse stabs hard with a terrible sonic boom. The speed is too fast.
An Yuanshou was taken aback and instinctively dodged sideways. He was worried and held the sword across his chest to block.
"when!"
The horse stabbed into the blade of the broadsword, sparks flying everywhere.
A rush of force swept forward, and the broadsword was stabbed and hit An Yuanshou so hard that he almost fell off his horse.
At this moment, An Yuanshou realized that he had fallen into a trap. His opponent was much stronger than him, but at this critical moment of life and death, there was no room for carelessness. He quickly stabilized his waist and saw Ma Cha coming at him again, buzzing, and he quickly raised his hand.
Blocking with the knife, he used all his strength to hold on.
"when!"
There was another crisp sound, shaking in all directions.
The big knife was cut by Ma Shan and sparks flew.
"hiss--"
Everyone gasped when they saw this scene. You must know that An Yuanshou's knife was passed down from ancestors and was extremely sharp. It was actually chopped into pieces. This horse's sword and its power are not simple.
Xue Rengui didn't care what happened to the horse in his hand. It was made of fine steel, extremely sharp and had withstood countless tests. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to fight so hard.
The next moment, the horse suddenly pulled back and stabbed hard, like a silver lightning.
An Yuanshou's arms were numb from the shock of the chop just now. Before he could recover, he saw a silver light flying past. He knew something was going to happen and had no time to tell, so he quickly hid in his pocket and hid on the other side of the horse.
Ma Shan almost stabbed An Yuanshou in the back.
"Hey, the response is pretty quick."
Seeing that the opponent actually dodged his attack again, Xue Rengui seemed to be quite capable. He shook his arms vigorously and smashed Ma Shu down hard.
It is said that long weapons can be retracted and released only when they are at a certain distance to gain more attack power. However, Xue Rengui's strange strength is so terrifying that terrifying power can be erupted in just a few inches.
"ah!"
An Yuanshou was struck by Ma Shan's sharp blade, which broke open his armor and penetrated his body. Two bones were severed, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Plop!" An Yuanshou fell off his horse.
Xue Rengui did not continue the attack, but turned to look at the crowd and shouted loudly: "The King of Han has ordered you to put down your weapons, but you can spare one life and forget about it, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."
Everyone looked at each other, a little tempted, but unwilling to make the first move.
Xue Rengui continued: "Why don't you hurry up and issue military orders? Do you have to wait until all the underground soldiers are killed? We are all gone, so what's the point of keeping you? Those who don't surrender will be killed without mercy, get ready!"
The latter words were spoken to the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers reacted quickly, and the repeating crossbows aimed at everyone became more stable and ready to take action at any time.
"Wait a minute, I'm not dead yet!"
An Yuanshou struggled to get up and shouted: "No one is allowed to surrender. Fight to the end to repay the emperor's favor. A man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of death?"
"You want to be a loyal minister so that the imperial court can treat the descendants of your family well, right?"
Buried with you, the imperial court can protect you, but the King of Han will not protect you. Don't forget that your family is in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is now the territory of the King of Han."
"The King of Han is benevolent, but he will not implicate innocent people." An Yuanshou said quickly, his tone was obviously a bit weaker.
"If you want to be loyal to the imperial court, you will commit suicide. Why are you dragging a whole city of soldiers to be buried with you? You are so cruel."
Do you want the soldiers below to follow you?"
Everyone's expressions became complicated. They looked at An Yuanshou and then at the soldiers fighting around them. People kept falling down, and it wouldn't take long for them all to die.
Without his subordinates, he would have no capital to settle down.
What's more, abandoning his subordinates and refusing to surrender even to the death of them was an act of indifference and cold-bloodedness that the King of Han would never forgive.
The situation is over, is it still necessary to be loyal to the imperial court?
Xue Rengui was too lazy to talk nonsense. He raised his hands and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order and shoot!"
Generally speaking, it would be easier to kill the stubborn guy. If the King of Han had not told him before departure that those who could accept surrender would accept as much surrender as possible, there would be no challenge just now.
"Wait a moment."
Several anxious voices sounded almost at the same time. Seeing that Qin Huaidao was really going to kill him, everyone panicked, no longer hesitated, and dropped their weapons one after another.
"Stop shooting!"
Xue Rengui shouted, looking around with cold eyes, and shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and give the order to surrender? There is only one chance. Those who cause trouble at the beginning will be killed without mercy, and the family will be exterminated after the incident."
When everyone heard that it was so cruel, they didn't dare to have any evil thoughts.
"No, stop here, Commander-in-Chief. If you eat the imperial rations, you should be loyal and fight to the death for the Holy Sage..." An Yuanshou roared angrily, causing more blood to flow from the wound on his back.
Xue Rengui did not stop him, but looked at everyone coldly.
When everyone saw Xue Rengui's knife-sharp eyes, they were all frightened and left quickly. They had no doubt that if they objected even a little bit, they would live or die on the spot. Even An Yuanshou, the most capable fighter, was killed in two or three blows. If you objected, wouldn't you be seeking death?
Once An Yuanshou died, the situation was over. If he didn't find a way to survive for himself at this time, how long would he wait?
As for being loyal, forget it, he would even dare to kill his own father. Who would dare to be loyal to a saint like that?
If An Yuanshou hadn't been in charge, if there wasn't really any way out, if the cost of desertion hadn't been too high, everyone would have dispersed long ago. Why would they be waiting now?
The soldiers and low-level officers who were fighting had long wanted to surrender, but due to military orders, no one dared. They could only retreat while fighting, struggling to support them. After hearing the order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and decisively threw away their weapons.
He squatted down and held his head, shouting to surrender and spare his life.
