Chapter 912: Loyal and Brave
"What?" a group of people stared at each other, staying where they were.
"General, wouldn't that be too straightforward. "It's hard to have soldiers.
They are soldiers, they have their own blood and flesh, and it is really difficult for them to accept that they should surrender like this.
"General, you can't surrender!" a soldier rushed up and hugged the general's legs, "General, we can fight! We can fight! We are not afraid of death!"
The words are sonorous and powerful, full of blood.
Many people around were silent, and some people raised their heads and said loudly: "General, we are not afraid of death! There are no thunderfall people who are afraid of death!"
For a while, the crowd was excited and high-spirited.
"Alright. The general seemed to be very prestigious, and just one sentence made everyone present quiet and look at him.
"I know you're not afraid of death, and I know that you're all bloody men, and I'm proud to be your general. The general said slowly, his voice extremely heavy.
Holding his helmet in both hands, he took it off, and his gray hair slanted out like a waterfall.
The short white whiskers stand like white steel needles.
Holding the dark red helmet in his arms, the general looked around at the crowd, bent down deeply and bowed his head. "I'm sorry, I'm not a good general, I just want to bring you all back alive. ”
"General. The soldiers retreated again and again, saying that they could not bear such a heavy salute.
"Don't worry, one person will do things and one person will be responsible for all the infamy of future generations, and I, Li Xianda, will bear it alone!"
Li Xianda said lightly, silently raised his head, he didn't want to fight to the death, dying on the battlefield was a good destination for him.
But...... It doesn't matter if he's dead, what about the group of soldiers under him?
Let these soldiers use their lives to fulfill his loyalty?!
He can't do it!
"It doesn't matter if I die alone. Li Xianda's face was neither sad nor joyful.
The army walked out of the valley, and Li Xianda stood at the front of the line, with a long sword at his waist.
"Su Shuai, there is an army of the Thunderfall Empire coming out of the valley in front. "The scouts are coming quickly.
Su Lie's face remained unchanged, "Keep going." ”
"General Su. Li Xianda shouted in the distance.
"In the Lower Thunderfall Empire, General Li Xianda, who led an army to surrender to Cheng, hopes that the general will take in my tens of thousands of brothers. "Li Xianda is neither humble nor arrogant.
"It won't take much time to kill you, why should I agree?" Su Lie was indifferent.
"The Great Xia army is mighty, but Xianda still thinks that my surrender is beneficial to the general, everything is difficult at the beginning, with my surrender first, the general can also reduce a lot of trouble. Li Xianda said sincerely.
"I've never been afraid of trouble, it's just the difference between killing people, slashing more, slashing less. Su Lie said indifferently.
Lee Hsien Tat was silent......
"If you really want to surrender, immediately lead your army to conquer a city, so that I will accept the surrender of your army. Su Lie smiled lightly.
Li Xianda was shocked, looked at Su Lie in disbelief, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The whole person seemed to freeze in place.
Li Xianda struggled in place, his hands clenched together.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, I can't do it, if Su Shuai has to insist, then I can only let the men of the empire spill the last drop of blood, it's not good to be like this, but after all, it's also something to be proud of, they don't have to bear the infamy of the ages." ”
He couldn't let these soldiers use their lives to fulfill their loyalty, but he couldn't let the soldiers of his country swing the butcher's knife in their hands at the people of his own country.
Because it's a very cruel thing.
After speaking, Li Xianda waved his hand, and the army behind him was stunned, and the whole army was quickly assembled, and the whole army was on alert.
Su Lie smiled slightly, "Okay, then I won't force General Li, as long as General Li orders his soldiers to put down their weapons, I swear in the honor of the general of Great Xia, as long as you don't make trouble, you will never kill any warriors who surrender." ”
Li Xianda nodded fiercely, "Then thank you General." ”
After speaking, Li Xianda handed over all the authority of the army in his hand to Su Lie, and also put the weapon in his hand on the ground aside, and tied his mount, the Black Cloud Lion, to the tree on the side.
Call the lieutenant general and give him a good advice, then turn and leave.
"General. The adjutant general shouted hesitantly, he always felt that the general was a little strange at this moment.
Li Xianda was also relieved to see that the soldiers under his former command were all standing quietly in place and agreeing to surrender, and turned to leave with a bitter smile on his face.
"General, where are you going?" the lieutenant shouted.
Li Xianda shook his head, with an indescribable loneliness in his back.
"I am not qualified to continue to be a general, what qualifications does a surrendered general have to be a general, to teach others how to surrender? It is enough for a person to surrender once in this life, I used to be a general of a small dynasty, because the lord of the dynasty at that time was jealous of my high merits and killed my family of 372 people. Li Xianda's voice was calm, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.
"Later, His Majesty the Thunder Emperor Dynasty valued my talents, and after capturing me, not only did he not humiliate me, but also reused me, and the kindness of knowing the encounter could not be repaid, only to repay with his life. ”
"Many of you are brothers who have followed me all the way from the imperial dynasty, and my brothers are the only ones left with you, this battle ......" Li Xianda's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally smiled open-mindedly, "No matter what the reason is, this is the second time I have surrendered, and it is enough to do certain things once in this life." ”
Li Xianda's voice was hoarse, he looked up to the sky and roared, standing on the top of the mountain, he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and aimed it at his neck.
Blood arrows erupted.
Li Xianda's arms trembled, the long sword in his hand couldn't be held, and he fell to the ground with a clatter.
"The grace of knowing the encounter, Your Majesty, there will be no retribution in the end!"
Poof.
The ground was splashed with large clouds of dust.
"Roar!" The black cloud lion, who had been chained to the tree, suddenly roared in the sky, and suddenly broke free from the rope, and the big tree behind him was broken, as if a dark cloud flew up to the top of the mountain.
The Black Cloud Lion knelt on his knees and prostrated beside Li Xianda's corpse, whimpering one after another.
also kept arching Li Xianda's corpse with his huge head.
The man lying on the ground liked nothing more than to stroke its head with his big hands, but why did it suddenly stop now?
The Black Cloud Lion turned his head in confusion and let out a sudden wail.
Do you touch it again? Stupid two-legged monster, if you touch it again, I'll still make the same whining sound as before. Then you look up to the sky and sigh as usual, what a person who pretends to be deep and strange.
You like to listen to it the most.
I know you like it best......
The Black Cloud Lion's movement became smaller and smaller, curled up in a ball, and he was unwilling to go down the mountain no matter how others exchanged them.
"The Black Cloud Lion is very stupid, so stupid that he only knows one master in his life. The adjutant general's tone was low.
"It's okay, I'm not going to deal with a beast, this is a loyal and brave man, let's bury it. ”
Before, he didn't let others get close to Li Xianda's body, but this time the Black Cloud Lion surprisingly didn't stop it.
just stood quietly next to the pit while others were digging the pit, looking at Li Xianda stupidly.
Finally, when burying the earth, the black cloud lion pounced and jumped in.
Su Lie led the army to continue north, and looked back at the mountain deeply, "Loyal and brave people never ask about their origins, it's a pity." ”
