Chapter 44

Li Mu took the lead, rode a war horse, and rushed towards Li Xin's heavy armor soldiers.

Da Chu heavy armor is a special type of military that can be used to fight cavalry, perhaps Li Mu's spirit did move Li Xin, but as a general, his move sometimes brings a threat to his country. That's why the old saying goes: mercy is not in charge of soldiers. How can a soft-hearted man face life like a mustard on the battlefield?

But Li Xin, he is a qualified general, even a good general.

Because in his eyes, the enemy is only used to destroy. No matter how the enemy in front of him made him feel admired and how she longed for it.

"Pass the order, leave no prisoners in this battle......"

Li Xin looked at the old and weak soldiers on the opposite side and gave an order coldly.

Li Xin believed that the moment Li Mu's army came into contact with his heavy armor, the battle should be over.

But what kind of character Li Mu is, he has been on the battlefield for decades, killing countless enemies, and the northern slaves still call Li Mu the king of Li Yan, a character who can stop children crying in the northern slaves, how can such a character die easily.

Just as Li Xin was giving the order, he saw Li Mu holding a broadsword and slashing out directly, Li Xin and the heavy armor on the front line were stunned:

What a hero this person is, he is so old that he can swing a broadsword of more than thirty catties with ease!

I saw that Li Mu waved his knife, and a blood mist flashed in the air, and in an instant, three heavily armored soldiers died under the knife!

Li Xin looked at the battle situation and fell into deep thought: The heavily armored soldiers were surrounded by black iron, and ordinary swords could not hurt them at all, but this Li Mu could actually kill three people in an instant! This sword technique, this eyesight, where is it like an old general who is about to die, it is simply a killing god.

In fact, this is the case, Li Mu is not the first time to engage with the heavy armor of Da Chu, and naturally knows that the heavy armor soldiers with Xuan armor around him are not something that can be killed by ordinary methods, but to attack the neck where the heavy armor is weakly protected, and he can kill the heavy armor with just one knife.

But in this world, I am afraid there are not many characters like him. Although he now wielded his sword angrily and killed three people, which greatly boosted the morale of his army. But after a few rounds of slashing, the arm strength will eventually weaken, and these old and weak under him are undoubtedly the characters who are sent to death......

Manpower is sometimes exhausted!

Li Mu was covered in blood, and the war horse had already died of strength, but although he was out of breath, he still did not tie his hands and died. He's going to fight......

But his soldiers suffered a catastrophe, a thousand heavy armor directly rushed into Li Mu's army formation like a tiger and wolf, slashing left and right, broken arms and stumps all over the ground, Li Mu looked back at the sergeants who were still with him just now and vowed to live and die together, and in just a few breaths of his own life, they became dry bones and cold corpses that fell to the ground.

There is no greater sorrow in the world than to see your comrades-in-arms fall in front of you.

"General, end the battle......"

A cavalry sergeant said to Li Xin. But at this time, Li Xin was indifferently watching the ruins of Li Mu's army formation and the death of Sergeant Zhao.

"Let's see, a hero's strangeness."

Li Mu still didn't give up, now his strength has been exhausted, and the big knife that he was wielding just now has been dragged to the ground.

"I'm still old after all......"

Li Mu thought sadly.

But what worries him even more is that his comrades-in-arms have all been killed, and he is the only one in the current Zhao army's array.

Seeing this, Li Xin urged him to step forward.

"General Li Mu, a general in the new army of Xia Dachu." As he spoke, he bowed his hand slightly on the horse. This is his heartfelt reverence for this hero-like figure.

Li Mu looked at the young general who was riding on a horse in front of him, and struggled to prop up the big knife in front of him.

"Hoo ......"

Li Mu gasped and looked at the corpses of Zhao Jun all over the ground.

"The army of the State of Chu...... Are you Jingyu's people? ”

Li Xin had already dismounted at this time and slowly approached Li Mu.

"The general misunderstood, although we are the men and horses of the Chu State, we have nothing to do with Jingyu's traitors."

Li Mu: "Oh? So who are you? ”

Li Xin smiled slightly: "We are the Lord of Great Chu, the new army of the King of Chu. ”

Li Mu was taken aback, Lord of Great Chu? Could it be that he is the king who is used as a puppet by Jingyu? Does he already have such strength now?

"Hehe, that's amazing. After all, this world is still the world of young people. ”

Where did Li Xin dare to hold on at this time, Li Mu was not only a god-level figure in Zhao State, but also a god of war in the eyes of the soldiers of Zhongzhou countries.

Li Xin immediately unsheathed his sword and handed it to the sergeant beside him.

Li Mu frowned as he watched his movements: "The general unsheathed his sword, do you want to persuade the general to surrender at this time?" ”

It turns out that there is an unwritten rule among the nations of Zhongzhou, when the victorious general unsheaths his sword, it means that he respects the enemy and wants to persuade the enemy to surrender. Li Murong has been a horse all his life, so he naturally knows this, so when he saw Li Xin untie his sword, his instinctive reaction was that Li Xin was going to persuade her to surrender.

Li Xin: "Don't misunderstand, the general unleashed the sword under the general, but he felt that he was not qualified to hold the sword in front of the general with his qualifications." ”

Li Mu was relieved: "The general has a heart...... But in today's situation, the general has no power to return to the sky, and now he only wants to die quickly. ”

As he spoke, he went down in the direction of the capital of Zhao State:

"Minister, ashamed of the first king, ashamed of Da Zhao, ashamed of the king, the minister died here today, to comfort my heroic soul of Da Zhao who died in battle!"

After saying that, he took out a broken sword and wiped it towards his neck, Li Xin saw this, and somehow, he stepped forward directly and grabbed the short knife.

"Old general, don't!"

Li Mu sneered: "Now that I have been defeated, I have dragged down a thousand brothers, only death is okay!" ”

Li Xin himself doesn't know what's wrong, as a general, he has his own ethics: that is, he is ruthless to the enemy!

Besides, a veteran like Li Mu, one less than one dies, it is a God-given opportunity for himself and for Da Chu, but now that he sees a generation of famous generals committing suicide in front of him, he actually relented.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

Li Xin looked at Li Mu and gave an order.

"Turn around and turn your back to General Li!"

Since you can't bear to look at it, then don't look at it.

"Yes!"

After the order was given, all the Chu troops stood with their backs to Li Mu, and they couldn't bear to watch a generation of famous generals die in front of their eyes.

Li Mu finally smiled, he laughed that Li Xin could respect himself, he laughed that he could finally go to Huangquan with his brothers, and he also laughed that he finally didn't have to fight all day.

Li Mu looked in the direction of Zhao Du and said softly:

"I don't know if the pear tree in my hometown is still there......"

Li Xin's tears had already flowed, but he hurriedly dried his tears.

Soldiers, you can't shed tears.

On that day, Li Mu, a famous general of the Great Zhao generation, died on the battlefield.

In the era of Zhongzhou, now the younger generation has taken over.

Afterwards, Li Xin ordered that the bodies of Li Mu and all the Zhao soldiers who had died in the battle be sent back to the city of Boyang of Zhao State, and also ordered the army to go to Boyang immediately.

Although the Boyang guard is Zhao Meng's general, his vision is much wider than Zhao Meng's.

Zhao Meng was born in a family of famous generals, although he was a little deaf, but he would not make such a bad mistake. And now he has indeed made such a mistake, and it can only be said that people will change.

Boyang City is undefinable, all the elites in the city have been caught by Zhao Meng to the Qin-Zhao front, and the soldiers in the city are also some old, weak, sick and disabled, unable to fight at all, and what makes the guards even more depressed is that Li Mu was originally going to transport grain and grass, but now it is cheaper Li Xin's army.

Now the grain and grass in Boyang City can't eat for a few days, and if the Chu army attacks, Boyang will fall in an instant, and I'm afraid that all the soldiers in the city will be the same as General Li Mu's army at that time. Therefore, when the Boyang garrison saw the corpses of General Li Mu and the soldiers who died in battle sent by the Chu army, he also made up his mind in a short time: surrender ......

But how to surrender is also a problem, and in this era, there are only two ways to deal with the surrender of the army:

One is to release them and let them return home.

The other was to be captured and used as coolies, or sold as slaves.

It's also a surrender, and if you put it back, at least you can save your life and see your family. If you are sold as a slave, the end result will be the same as death.

Just when the Boyang guards were thinking like this, Li Xin was also thinking about the same question: There is a chance that the Boyang guards will surrender, but what to do with these people after they surrender?

Put it back? Although they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, they are soldiers after all, and if there is a war in the future, they are still enemies!

Catch it? However, his army did not have much grain and grass, and he still had to distribute it to them, and he had to divide his troops to take care of them, so he would not fight in the future.

While Li Xin was thinking, his thoughts were interrupted by a letter from within Boyang City.

Li Xinzhan took a look:

"Sure enough."

The letter describes the conditions for the surrender of Boyang City:

First, allow your own army to bury the bodies of those who died in battle.

Second, allow his own army to send General Li Mu back to the capital of Zhao State.

Third, to ensure the food and grass needed by their own army.

Li Xin looked at the letter, and his heart was numb.

That's two thousand, and although they are two thousand old and weak, as long as they pick up a sword, they are soldiers!

"Is it ......?"

Li Xin also made a decision that affected his life at the moment:

"Herald. Accept the surrender of the city. ”

Two hours later, the gate of Boyang City was opened, and more than 2,000 troops who had come into contact with the armed army walked out.

Li Xin also quickly stepped forward and looked at these sergeants coldly.

"Don't worry."

After that, he ordered the surrender army, which was more than 100 years old, to transport the body of General Li Mu back. He also ordered the remaining generals to bury the corpses of Zhao Jun who died in battle, but what made the surrendered army strange was that the burial pit where Li Xin ordered the corpses to be buried should be three people high......

Although he thought it was strange, the order came down, and he had to carry it out, and Li Xin promised them that he would give them food and give them a way to live.

But just as they were digging the grave, Li Xin summoned a group of generals of the Heavy Armor Army:

"Acting on a plan......

Finally, after working for most of the day, Zhao Guo's army dug the grave, and all the corpses had been placed in the pit.

Li Xin also did as promised and gave them food.

When the troops saw the food, they rushed up.

Li Xin looked at the general who was eating and gobbled up, and said lightly:

"Let's eat slowly......"

He looked up at the dark night and said to the generals beside him, "It's dark, let them rest well......

A trace of unbearability flashed in the general's eyes, but when he saw Li Xin's expressionless face again, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart:

"Subordinates obey ......"
