"Death? You mean... we will die?" Hao Nanren looked confused, because in the past, he had everything going smoothly, so how could he think of such a serious issue? He subconsciously believed that he would not die, and would end up with a good outcome. , finally left the army with great merit and glory, but now he has to face life and death. Obviously, for Hao Nanren, this is something unacceptable.
Hao Ping said: "Besides death, the only option is to live... But how can we live? If we live, are we worthy of the court? Are we worthy of His Majesty?"
In the distance, Su Ao had already charged over with his troops and horses. The fierce sound of horse hooves gathered together and shook the entire ground, which also woke up Hao Nanren who was in addiction.
Su Ao shouted: "Kill, leave no trace of the imperial troops and horses behind!"
"Kill!" The large army of men and horses rushed into Hao Nanren's formation like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking, or like a huge mudslide. It was like a wolf among sheep, a surging force.
Countless people were killed along the way, especially when the cavalry killed them. They were like mud cows entering the sea, crushing them everywhere. A big knife chopped melons and vegetables like a kitchen knife. How could those regular soldiers be opponents? They were all soldiers who grew up in the greenhouse. Kong There is quantity, but no quality.
The soldiers in the northern border live in danger every day, either from the enemy's threat or from the bandits on the grassland. It can be said that they live in worry every day, so they train desperately.
Apart from Tongming Temple and Ouchi guards, these are the most elite troops in the entire South Vietnam.
Therefore, their attack into the granary has become a one-sided crushing.
Seeing the heads flying one by one in front of his eyes, seeing the bloody corpses around him, and seeing those colleagues who were still talking and laughing with him now having their heads separated, Hao Nanren collapsed, his face was pale, and his fingers were trembling. , has already lost the will to fight.
"Surrender, I surrender!" Seeing that the situation was over, a general knelt on the ground and immediately begged for mercy.
On the other side, people began to kneel down and beg for mercy one after another.
"Are these all... are these the so-called pillars of the imperial court?" Hao Ping said sadly with tears streaming down his face.
But at this time, several soldiers caught Hao Ping, tied him up and brought him in front of the white horse. Ye Ling next to him said: "Military advisor, what do you want this scholar for?"
"According to what the spies said, this Hao Ping is the number one military advisor around Hao Nanren. It's a pity that his advice has never been listened to by his brother. In other words, he can be regarded as a talent." Baima said, he The voice was very cold.
Hao Ping shouted angrily: "Kill if you want, why say more?!"
"You are a smart man, why not surrender to His Highness the Second Highness." Baima said.
Hao Ping laughed loudly: "You... do you want to laugh me to death? Your Highness? There are no Second Highnesses in this world. There is only one rebel, Su Ao!"
"Bold!" Ye Ling shouted angrily.
The white horse dismounted and said with a smile: "Mr. Hao, those who understand current affairs are heroes. Do you think your team can escape from the current situation? And Hao Nanren is trapped here, and the remaining 200,000 troops are just a bunch of locals. They are nothing more than chickens and dogs, our Second Highness can take their lives at any time... Your situation is over, and we are now at the time of employing people. If you abandon the secret and turn to the light, you will make it easier for me to be an equal in the future, what do you think?"
"Bah!" Hao Ping said through gritted teeth, "I would rather die than become a dog for you!"
"But now you are a dog of the imperial court, and you are still an unpopular dog. Even your own eldest brother almost had you punished by military law!" Baima glared angrily.
Hao Ping laughed and suddenly shouted: "South Vietnam will never fall, long live your Majesty!"
As he spoke, he bumped into the soldier next to him, and his neck hit the blade. The artery was broken and blood spurted out like a pillar.
Ye Ling couldn't help but narrowed her eyes: "I didn't expect that this weak scholar with no power to restrain a chicken is actually a ruthless person at heart, and would rather die than surrender."
"Yes, the character of a scholar may not be worse than that of a military general." Baima sighed, because he truly admired Hao Ping.
However, Hao Nanren was losing the battle. Seventy-eight out of ten of his soldiers surrendered without fighting. They were defeated like a mountain. When he saw that he was losing the battle, he was also in despair.
"Surrender, I surrender!" Hao Nanren knelt on the ground, waiting to be bound.
"Coward." Su Ao glanced at him and immediately asked people to gather all the prisoners.
After Hao Nanren was also restrained, the white horse came over, and Su Ao said, "How many people are there?"
"We lost 312 people and had 3,020 in our hands. It was a great victory. However, the enemy surrendered 80,000 people and suffered 20,000 casualties." Baima said, "How does Your Highness plan to place these prisoners?"
Su Ao paused for a moment and then said slowly: "Give those fallen enemies a generous burial. Although they were all killed in action, these people all have backbone!"
"What about these surrendered prisoners?" Baima asked again.
Su Ao hummed and said with a smile: "Train and kill them all!"
Hearing this, Baima was shocked, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible. With 80,000 people, even a cannon fodder regiment can contain many enemies. If they are all killed... wouldn't that be..."
"The soldiers under my command, Su Ao, are only brave men. These weaklings are not worthy of being in our army. They only deserve to be the souls killed by my sword!" Su Ao said.
Baima asked again: "Where is Hao Nanren?"
"Keep it and let him see with his own eyes how I cannibalize his army!"
…
On the south bank, Ye Feng led his soldiers and horses into the formation. Ye Feng laughed loudly, chopped off a soldier's head and said, "It's almost done. We retreated. Now our mission has been completed!"
"yes!"
Ye Feng's mission was very simple, just to divert the attention of all the teams on the south bank, and then take the opportunity to retreat. When the troops on the south bank reacted, Hao Nanren and the others had already given instructions.
But when Ye Feng was about to evacuate, a black team appeared quietly around him. This was Li Hugo's Tongming Temple team.
Li Huguo raised the long knife in his hand and said: "Revenge for our dead brothers...!"
"Kill!" Many people burst into shrill screams.
It must be understood that Li Yuguo has not allowed them to take action. The purpose of this is very simple, which is to make the brothers of Tongming Temple feel aggrieved. When it breaks out, its combat effectiveness will be twice that of usual!
The five thousand troops also cooperated with the people from Tongming Temple and killed Ye Feng. When Ye Feng saw Li Huguo's appearance, he turned pale with fright and secretly wondered why Li Huguo was here? Shouldn't he be ignored by Hao Nanren
But at this time, he had no time to think about it, and without saying a word, he wanted to rush out of a gap and escape.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuguo and Mu Xisha were like gods descending to earth. They were just two people, blocking Ye Feng's last escape route!
