Chapter 1360: There are enemy troops in front and behind, and we are in a desperate situation
However, this joy did not last long. Less than a quarter of an hour later, Tong Chuan, who was above the checkpoint, heard the heavy sound of horse hooves coming from behind. However, the sound of horse hooves was accompanied by
There were chaotic shouts of killing!
In an instant, his expression changed drastically, because in this situation, there was only one possibility, that is, the cavalry coming from the rear were not reinforcements at all, but enemy troops! Although, he still did not know where these enemies came from.
Come.
"General... it's not good!"
A soldier covered in blood ran up the stairs crying and screaming!
"Jin people, Jin people's soldiers and horses are coming from behind us! Our camp has been occupied by Jin people. Now, we can't escape even if we try to escape..."
brush!
Tong Chuan only felt that his mind was blank. The war was tense. He had used almost all the troops at his disposal. Even those who were slightly injured were not qualified to leave the battlefield. Therefore, the camp behind them was empty! Except for
Except for a few auxiliary troops, there was no force to garrison at all! The Jin people came from the rear and could easily occupy their camp.
And this undoubtedly means that their battle has failed!
After the camp was broken, they became a lone army. Facing the Jin people's attacks from the front and back, they couldn't hold on for long! The most important thing was that their only remaining food, grass and supplies were in the camp behind them, cutting off the road.
They will be hungry for the next meal! To make matters worse, they have no hope...
Dang clang...
His hand loosened involuntarily, and the sword fell to the ground, including other soldiers above the level. When they heard the news, their fighting spirit and fighting spirit instantly collapsed!
They had long been prepared to die in battle, but there was some point in fighting.
But now, they can only wait for death in this lonely level.
Even if the Jin people did nothing but completely block the rear area, it would only take two or three days for their extremely exhausted soldiers to starve to death here!
"General, what should we do?"
One of the guards asked stiffly.
Tong Chuan raised his head blankly, what should he do?
Surrounded by barren mountains and cliffs on the left and right, and the army of Jin people in front and behind, they can't even escape now! As for fighting to the death?
They can still block the Jin soldiers relying on this level. Without this level, are they qualified to fight against the Jin's cavalry?
What's more, now they lack weapons, armor, and supplies! How empty their stomachs are! They don't even have much strength and fighting spirit...
The chaos behind did not last long. Soon, all the sounds disappeared, leaving only the sound of horse hooves gradually approaching.
Not long after, a group of light cavalry appeared in Tong Chuan's sight! Although this group of light cavalry only numbered one or two thousand, their military appearance was neat, and they looked like elites at first glance!
The first general is carrying a pair of hammers! This general wears a black helmet and black armor, and sits on a black horse. He looks like a god of war emerging from the land!
"Where is the guard here? I am the commander-in-chief of the Daming Mansion, under the command of Marshal Wanyan Hao, the commander-in-chief Nalan Sola!"
As he spoke, the general hung his hammers on the side of his horse, raised his hands and shouted loudly!
Tong Chuan came back to his senses, straightened his robes slightly, then took two steps forward, looked down at him for a few times, then raised his hands and responded, "I am the commander of Zaoyang Army, General Tong Chuan!"
"General Tong, my commander and I greatly admire the tenacity of General Tong and the Song Army under his command! A local army, short of major generals and supplies, can still hold off our army here for more than 20 days! In this battle,
It’s enough to show how strong you are!”
What surprised Tong Chuan was that the general of the Jin Kingdom actually greeted him very politely! If this was not on the battlefield, he would even think that the two of them were talking.
"However, General Tong is now in a desperate situation! Your soldiers and horses in Zhanghe have been defeated, and my army has entered! You will not have any reinforcements! Instead of leading thousands of brothers to die in battle, why not surrender!"
"The general is fighting hard here, and he still persists despite losing troops and generals. He is worthy of the court and worthy of the people! As long as the battle continues, only a few more people will die, and it will not have any impact on the outcome!"
Tong Chuan was stunned! Of course he knew that Nalan Sola's words were not false! But... this is surrender! As the commander-in-chief of an army, he, as the commander-in-chief of this place, wants to lead his brothers to surrender... This is not a good thing for anyone.
For a general, this is something more humiliating and unacceptable than dying in battle.
However, what makes him even more painful is that if he does not surrender, he will have no choice but to die here with these thousands of brothers!
Is it worth it?
Tong Chuan asked himself, but there was no answer! Is dignity or survival more important?
It would be a bit difficult to let him choose!
"General..." the guard yelled through gritted teeth, but he didn't know how to continue!
Tong Chuan turned his head and looked at the soldiers above the checkpoint! Everyone looked at him, with fear, expectation, and indifference...
Including reinforcements, he had more than 10,000 troops, but now only less than half are left! These thousands of lives are now at his command!
"General Tong!"
At this time, Nalan Sola spoke again, "I know, as a general, it is difficult to make such a choice! Even for me, with my dignity as a general on one side and the lives of my sons on the other, it is equally difficult to choose.
.
However, now that the matter has come to this, as generals, we can only shoulder the responsibility or be stigmatized!"
"The men under our command follow us and fight to the death. However, they also have wives, children, and young children. Death on the battlefield is considered a worthy death. But do we want them to die for meaningless persistence?"
"Moreover, when we marched into the army, the commander-in-chief had given strict orders! First, after entering the Song Dynasty, innocent people were not allowed to be killed! Second, if anyone from the Song army surrendered, they should be treated kindly and not humiliated! Third, no indiscriminate killing was allowed.
The Song army has lost its resistance! In addition, our commander-in-chief has made an agreement with your commander-in-chief that the surrendered soldiers of the two countries can return after the war, and no one can stop them!"
Having said this, Nalan Sola once again handed over his hand, "You have been fighting hard for a day, and we are already exhausted! We have brought some dry food with the army. You can eat one or two first! At this moment, there is about an hour before sunset. Sunset
Before, General Tong just gave me an answer!"
"If we surrender, I will never insult you in any way. If we fight, I can lead my troops to retreat five miles to give the general a chance to fight! Moreover, I have already sent out command arrows, and the soldiers and horses outside the pass
