Chapter 40: Kneel down and surrender without killing
Troops one after another were continuously thrown into the war before them.
The sound of artillery fire, the sound of crossbows being fired, the sound of cavalry charging, the footsteps of infantry charging, the soldiers' wails before they died...
All kinds of sounds mixed together, this is the battlefield, this is hell on earth!
The battle had lasted from morning to night, and Li Yuan only had about 250,000 soldiers left out of the 300,000 soldiers in his hands.
If the situation at this moment were not extremely special, then Li Yuan's command would have collapsed long ago. In the era of cold weapons, those who could continue to fight after 10% of their casualties were elite soldiers.
The second-generation soldiers are worthy of being regarded as elite soldiers, and their children are all in Guanzhong, and their families are all under the control of the Guanlong clan. Once they become deserters, the whole family will die together.
Because of this, the resilience of the soldiers is extremely strong, far exceeding that of the general army. If they escape now, their whole family will die!
What's more, there is almost no chance of escape so far.
The Qin army didn't give them this chance at all!
In the morning, Li Yuan tried to fight and attack, but the result was that his 20,000 troops were gone. In the afternoon, he learned his lesson and stood firm, but even so, 30,000 people died in the process of defense.
More importantly, morale is almost gone!
Nowadays, even if Li Yuan shows up in person to boost morale, it's useless!
Even if Li Yuan wanted to escape early, he would have no chance!
Inside the main tent of the Qin Army, looking at the sky full of sunset and the sun that was about to set, Han Xin calmly wrote down an order and sent it to Meng Tian who was standing aside for inspection. After reading it, Meng Tian clicked
nodded.
Following this order, the Suzaku in the sky, which had not shown much power, finally erupted.
After the first round of bombing, the soldiers lost order.
It was getting dark right now!
Those who can fight at night are the real elites. There will never be more than half of such elites among the soldiers, even if the soldiers are very good at fighting.
Looking at the suddenly dark sky, Li Yuan ordered the torches to be lit. Looking at the large number of torches, Li Yuan took a breath: "Fortunately, as long as there is light, there is still hope."
"In my general's order, the reinforcements from the Holy Emperor and Wei Gong have arrived twenty miles away. However, they are unable to come because of the darkness. As long as we hold on until dawn, we will win!"
However, as soon as the order was conveyed, the second round of bombing came. These torches in the dark night were like lighthouses on the sea at night. In the eyes of innate masters, they were really dazzling!
Rumble!
With the sound of explosions, the soldiers soon discovered that wherever there were torches, there were strange birds in the sky. Then they made two decisions, the first was to extinguish the torches, and the second was to stay away from the torches!
In fact, apart from the panic, the damage caused by the first round of bombing was not as serious as Li Yuan imagined. However, the second round of bombing completely triggered the panic in the hearts of the soldiers!
Bomb the camp!
Another camp bombing!
During the day, Li Mi's 400,000 troops directly blew up the camp!
Now Li Yuan's soldiers have also begun to blow up the camp!
Under the torch, Li Jing stared at this scene with his eyes motionless, and beside him was the younger Li Xin. At this moment, Li Xin was wearing black armor, and was surrounded by cavalry wearing black armor like him.
Not only did everyone in this cavalry team wear black armor, but the horses also wore black armor. These horses were very tall and extremely strong. They were real heavy cavalry.
Every heavy cavalryman is a soldier of the Qin Dynasty, and they are the kind who have cultivated their inner energy. Both their endurance and instantaneous explosive power are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
The torch was extinguished and lit again, and when it was extinguished, Li Jing did not issue an order!
When the soldiers of the government scattered in all directions because they were fleeing for their lives, and lost order, Li Jing still did not issue an order!
The shouts of killing were heard in his ears, and when the soldiers started fighting each other due to the bombing of the camp, Li Jing still stood here coldly, without saying a word.
When the generals around him looked at him countless times, Li Jing remained unmoved!
Finally, when the flag of the Chinese Army began to move, Li Jing nodded with satisfaction: "The time has come, you all, listen to my orders!"
only!
Accompanied by the rumble of cannons, the first to rush in were the three thousand heavy cavalry under Li Xin!
Heavy cavalry are good at rushing and breaking formations. In the hands of a good general like him, they are like a sharp dagger. Wherever they stab, they can make the enemy bleed!
"Kneel down and surrender without killing!"
"Kneel down and surrender without killing!"
At this moment, humans are inferior to pigs!
If there were 200,000 pigs, it would be very difficult for the Qin army to catch them all overnight. Unless they were all turned into dead pigs, it might take a lot of work to catch 200,000 live pigs.
a few days!
But humans and pigs are different. The biggest difference is that pigs are fearless! Humans, on the other hand, are too smart, know more, and fear more, so one or two of them knelt down and surrendered.
It was still that night, when the situation was over, and when the Qin army rushed in, Li Yuan's expression changed drastically, not only for him, but also for his subordinates, and some of his subordinates even started to communicate with each other with their eyes!
I am still here as the coach, and you guys are starting to flirt with each other. What on earth do you want to do? Are you thinking about how to sell me at a good price?
Delusion!
"Ahem, now that the situation is like this, we might as well just obey nature and surrender."
Having said this, Li Yuan took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is a personal letter sent to me by the other party's general, General Meng Aomeng."
"As mentioned above, if I surrender at the beginning of the war, then I will have a real earl. If I surrender after the war starts, I will still have a real viscount."
"Even if I am captured by the enemy, as long as I am willing to cooperate, take the initiative to expose the true face of the dark Guanlong family, and be granted the title of baron, and pass it on from generation to generation, it will be no problem if I continue to be successful."
When Li Yuan took out this letter, the generals once again looked at each other, but this time they were somewhat helpless. They originally wanted to take advantage of Li Yuan's attention and stab him in the back, and then take his head to the Qin army.
In exchange for wealth.
But I didn’t expect this old boy to react very quickly. He’s too smart, right?
With cold sweat on his back, Li Yuan took a few deep breaths. He finally clung to his life. As long as he was alive, there was still hope. Even in the worst case, could it still be worse than when he inherited the title?
Relying on his own ability, he has transformed from a short-term Duke to the head of the Guanlong clan. After joining Da Qin, can't he continue to rely on his own ability and continue to climb up?
"Everyone, for the sake of the common people and the peace of the world, I, Li Yuan, have decided to surrender!" After saying this, Li Yuan instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
Now that he has decided to surrender, he must show his worth, otherwise no one will want him even if he surrenders. After thinking about this clearly, Li Yuan rubbed his face vigorously, summoned his energy and shouted loudly.
