These days, they dug out too many Daqi fighters with their own hands, and there was no way to deal with them, so they had to dig pits and bury them on the spot.
In the end, there wasn't even the energy to bury. Those who were dug out were piled aside casually. Anyway, these people, no matter what, were buried in the belly of the mountain.
They kept digging, but the more they dug, the more desperate they became.
This passage... is too long!
They didn't know how many places the passage had collapsed.
Even if a passage is dug, what you see...is still a large number of dead people, and few survivors survived.
The collapsed area of this channel is infinitely larger than what they thought!
In many places, it was more than ten miles away that collapsed as a whole!
Just imagine that all the soldiers of Daqi at that time were all crowded together, densely packed with people...and then buried alive in an instant.
What's more frightening is that these living people all have a feeling: if this continues...even if they don't die from exhaustion, suffocation, thirst, starvation, or infection... sooner or later they will die of despair!
Seeing that all the corpses of comrades were dug up, the feeling of despair spread in almost everyone's hearts.
Instead of digging this passage again, seeing countless robed corpses, and continuing to despair... it is better to find a place with a thin mountain and dig upward according to the map.
Perhaps, this will make them feel less hopeless.
Looking back at the remaining 5,000 people around him, they were all disheveled, and most of them were only wearing a pair of underwear. Fang Dongming couldn't help but burst into tears at that miserable appearance.
"I'm sorry... it's me... who harmed you!" Fang Dongming, a tough man, said with tears streaming down his face, "We may... all die here. Crossing the country, shrouded in horse leather, is an honor. But now, we only have humiliation , no glory!"
When Fang Dongming cried, all the elite fighters among the more than 5,000 Great Qi elite couldn't help crying.
"Marshal... don't blame you, it's God's will... no wonder you!"
"That's right, Commander, this is a non-war crime... we fell into Daxia's tricks."
A group of elite fighters all burst into tears.
The third prince, Jiang Qiuyang, gritted his teeth and said, "We can't die! This king must take you out! If you don't avenge this revenge, you will never be human!"
"If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear you won't be a human being!" The more than five thousand elite fighters roared in humiliation.
At this time, someone came to report, his voice trembling with excitement: "The commander... my subordinates... my subordinates found... found a... vent! There is still some air in that place! Obviously the landfill is not deep... we... You should be able to get out from there!"
boom!
Everyone, at this moment, all boiled.
"Can we finally get out alive?"
"Can we really survive?"
"The sky will never stop us... the sky will never stop us!"
All the soldiers shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Fang Dongming frowned, with a wry smile on his face, and glanced at the third prince: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Jiang Qiuyang was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "It may be another pitfall..."
Those elite fighters who were cheering saw that His Highness the Third Prince and the general didn't show any smiles on their faces, and gradually... they all calmed down.
"Even if it's a trap... we have to get out, don't we?" Fang Dongming's tone was a little erratic, and he murmured, "Going out... is better than dying here."
Jiang Qiuyang fell silent, if this vent was really a trap set by Da Xia. Well, when this group of people come out, nine times out of ten... they will be captured!
Others can be taken as prisoners, but he, Jiang Qiuyang... can't!
Because once he bears the fact of being captured, then... Daqi's throne will have nothing to do with him!
The government and the opposition will not accept a prince who has been captured after losing millions of troops to become their emperor.
Therefore, Jiang Qiuyang said softly: "Uncle Dongming... I can't go up with you!"
Fang Dongming just thought about it for a while, then he understood Jiang Qiuyang's meaning, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go up to explore the way first, if... there is no danger. Then, send someone to pick up His Highness!"
Jiang Qiuyang nodded, sat there directly, and began to wait.
On Fang Dongming's side, he first dispatched soldiers who still had strength to dig open the vent.
As expected, this vent was not completely blocked. It only took them half a day to dig the vent open.
This is the first time in more than ten days that this group of people felt the fresh air from outside. There were many people on the spot, tears streaming down their faces.
Then, some scouts went up to investigate first.
A total of more than a dozen scouts went through half a day of investigation. Expand the radius of the investigation to dozens of miles away. As a result, no trace of the Great Xia army was found.
Just came back to report the news.
After Fang Dongming got the news, he glanced at Jiang Qiuyang who was sitting quietly recovering his strength: "Your Highness, let's go up first!"
Jiang Qiuyang nodded.
Afterwards, the group of surviving Da Qi elites, one by one, came out from the ventilation passage.
After so many days, they finally saw the light of day again. After this group of people came up, they all squinted their eyes, feeling as if they had passed away.
A hundred miles away, at the highest peak of the entire Tianduan Mountain Range. Zhang Rong looked at the direction of the ventilation passage with cold eyes, and sighed softly: "In the whole passage, there are only two vents that have not been completely filled, and they actually found one. But... this is for the A big gift prepared by you! After all, if there is no one prisoner after killing millions of troops, the emperor will not like it, and the people will not like it either!"
As he said that, Zhang Rong gave an order: "Take this group of people...all down to me!"
Whoosh!
A loud arrow pierced into the sky, making a piercing sound.
The group of elites who had just seen the light of day all trembled in an instant.
Fang Dongming just got out of the ventilation channel, squinting his eyes, listening to the sound of the sound of the arrow, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
Afterwards, the soldiers of the Great Xia Miners Corps, who had been preparing for a long time, swarmed here from all directions, all armed with bows and arrows, and surrounded the place.
"Those who surrender will not die!" A young general shouted loudly: "Shoot and kill on the spot!"
The dozen or so scouts from Daqi's side were all dumbfounded. Even though they saw countless people appearing in front of their eyes, they still couldn't believe it. Where did these people come from
When they were investigating, there was obviously no trace of human activities at all!
Even a person like Chu Mo with extremely strong perception can hardly detect the traces of this group of people. Not to mention these scouts of Daqi... This is the real crime of non-war.
For more than ten years, this army of miners in Daxia has almost completely integrated into the Tianduan Mountain Range.
If these Daqi's scouts could find out, they would be so ashamed that they would commit suicide.
All the elite soldiers of Daqi had humiliation and anger on their faces, and at the same time, there was deep despair in their eyes.
"Could it be... God really wants to kill us?" A young general of Daqi murmured.
Afterwards, everyone looked at Fang Dongming.
It's war, it's surrender... Now, it depends on the general's mind.
