Chapter 503 Family and Country Feelings
"Hey! What are you doing? Lin Feng inadvertently saw Tuoba Yu'er's move, drew his knife and knocked the short knife in her hand, and shouted: "If you want to die, you go and charge into battle, don't die in front of me!" ”
Lin Feng didn't know why Tuoba Yu'er was preparing to cut himself, but he would never allow the other party to die in front of him!
Tuoba Yu'er looked at the short knife that flew out in a panic, her eyes turned to look at Lin Feng, and she couldn't help but cry and said: "You designed to frame me and kill so many of my clansmen, and now even my fourth brother is uncertain about his life and death, what kind of face do I have to live in the world, how should I face the clansmen who have lost their relatives?" ”
When Lin Feng heard this, he shouted: "Born in troubled times, people are displaced all the time, because of the war lost their lives, lost their relatives, I gave you a chance before, but unfortunately you don't care at all, at this moment, more Huns are dying in battle, they are paying the price for insisting on what they shouldn't insist on."

If Lin Feng first came to this era three years ago, he might not be as sympathetic to people as dogs, but he knows better that in troubled times, whoever has compassion will die, and he will die a miserable death!
Glancing at the battlefield, Lin Feng did not continue to deal with Tuoba Yu'er, but instead rode away with Shi Yutong on horseback.
In this war, there is no suspense about winning, and there is no need for him to continue to stay. Next, all you have to do is to wait patiently for the three Zhang Yu who are chasing Borchi, and the information from the troops who annihilated the Donghu death row outside the Black Flag Pass.
Outside the black chess pass, the yellow sand spreads, and the dry grass is cool and breezy. After several years of operation by the Yan army, the Black Flag Pass and the Tiger Killing Pass in Hunhe County have become the forefront of the Yan army's fight against Donghu.
At the beginning of the summer, Lin Feng and Ashina came to Black Flag Pass to take over the army under the command of Linghu Zang, which was composed of Jin people recruited by the Rong clan and Murong Qiyan in Nanhu.
At first, the combat effectiveness was not very strong, especially those Jin people who had never been on the battlefield, in previous wars, especially in the battle to destroy the Jin, Ling Huzang led the troops, and achieved a small success.
However, it is still difficult to compete with the ironclad cavalry, ironclad infantry, and the main army of the Yan army.
This time, Lin Xiao took over the 150,000 troops led by Ling Huzang and blocked the death row troops led by Ran Meng at Black Flag Pass.
When he first arrived, even if the Yan army occupied a numerical advantage, Lin Xiao still did not dare to confront the death row troops led by Ran Meng head-on.
The difference in combat effectiveness between the two armies is too great, one is the death row unit that gallops outside the fortress and makes people fearful, and the other is the last army of the Yan State.
At that time, Lin Xiao only relied on the black flag pass with thick walls in the city, trying to temporarily block the death row troops by virtue of the city's defense advantages.
Because, he knew very well that the main army of the Yan State was in the Liang State, and even if it suddenly or maybe Donghu attacked, it would be difficult to change the direction of the attack.
After all, Yan Guo never thought in advance that the Borchi tribe would take the opportunity to unite with Northern Zhao, and the only troops close to the Black Flag Pass were the Linghuzang Legion, and the Bai Yisheng and Li Lin Legions on the Western Front.
At the beginning, Lin Xiao felt that in this war, the Yan army would be very passive, at least, it would never go deep into the hinterland of Donghu at will as before, and fight and gallop in the grassland outside the Saiwai.
However, things were not as pessimistic as he imagined, when Lin Feng sent him and Ashina to come alone, he actually dispatched Hou Mingfeng and Feng Shihu, who were fighting in the Liang State, and led 100,000 troops to appear outside the Saiwai.
Hou Mingfeng's two subordinates were both elite ironclad cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, and they fought so hard that they were never defeated by the death row troops.
The two legions secretly lurked outside the pass, and when the death row troops attacked the Black Flag Pass, the two of them killed left and right, and quietly, dealt a heavy blow to the ambitious death row troops who tried to break through the Black Flag Pass and went south.
Later, he personally led the cavalry under his command, personally went out of the Black Flag Pass, united with Hou Mingfeng's two major legions, and repeatedly defeated the death row inmates, not only the tide of the battle was reversed, but the three major legions completely trapped the death row inmates.
The legion led by Hou Mingfeng was stationed on the Western Front, completely cutting off the possibility of the death row troops fleeing west and the source of food and grass.
After more than ten days of siege, although the Yan army did not advance an inch, it also waited patiently for Ran Meng to lead the troops on death row to break through, so as to completely solve this galloping force.
Of course, Lin Xiao did not have the idea of annihilating the troops of the condemned prisoners, and the reason why he besieged but did not attack and forced the other party to a dead end was that he still had the idea of surrendering this army.
The formation of this army is different from that of ordinary cavalry troops, and most of their members are murderers and thieves in various vassal states, or river and ocean thieves, and each of them has several lives.
In order to escape from the decree of the vassal state, this army was formed, and wandered all over the steppe, and was later recruited by Borchi with a lot of money, and for seven or eight years he served for Borchi, and the members of the army were also paid handsomely.
So, to be precise, the death row troops never remained loyal to Borchi, but only served for the money and food in Borchi's hands.
At present, they are under siege, life and death are unpredictable, if the other party is at the end of the road, he Lin Xiao proposes to surrender, the death row troops may not refuse, and it is very likely to break away from the Borchi tribe and turn to serve the Yan country.
Therefore, Lin Xiao is waiting, waiting for the death row troops to surrender on their own initiative!
About ten miles away from the Black Flag Pass, in the tent of the commander of the death row inmates.
Over the past few days, the morale of the troops on death row has become weaker and weaker, and all problems such as panic, hunger, and wounded have been exposed.
The reason why the death row units are called death row units is because the crimes they committed must be executed according to the laws of the vassal states.
It is precisely because they have killed people that they are often more fierce and vicious on the battlefield.
Or because they have killed people, they are invincible in the battlefield, and the main purpose is to save their lives, otherwise, they will not form a death row unit.
Therefore, the members of the death row unit on weekdays have made a name for themselves in the grassland with their fierceness and viciousness.
When faced with the threat of death, if they can't save their lives at all costs, they will instantly become frightened birds.
In the past few months, in the face of the continuous attacks of the Yan army, they have been defeated repeatedly, defeated again and again, and they have still been forced to a dead end, and they have failed to break through several times, and they have completely become trapped beasts.
The death row inmates began to show fear, slackness, panic, and all kinds of irritability for no reason, wanting to vent their anger in their hearts, but there was no way to vent it.
Not long ago, Lin Xiao sent someone to send the third letter of surrender, and all the core generals of the death row army became uneasy.
On the first two occasions, Lin Xiao sent someone to send a letter of surrender, and all the generals of the death row troops completely scoffed, and chose to break through that night, but they were all ambushed by the Yan army or defeated from the front.
More than 30,000 casualties were suffered by the death row units that once galloped outside the city, and nearly 20,000 were captured alive.
At present, there is no way out for Kuwu, whether there is food, grass and ordnance, Ran Meng has to pay attention to Lin Xiao's surrender for the third time.
It is absolutely difficult for the 50,000 troops on death row to escape the cage formed by the more than 200,000 Yan troops, so next, whether to surrender or not will be directly related to the life and death of the members of the death row troops.
Because Lin Xiao wrote very clearly in the surrender book, if the death row troops surrendered, the Yan army would be treated absolutely equally, and if they did not surrender, the Yan army would level the camp of the death row troops three days later.
At the same time, Lin Xiao also sent someone to send the situation of Borchi's lair, as well as the current situation of various tribes outside the Saiwai, pointing out that surrender is the only way out for the death row troops.
Ran Meng ordered the three generals present to browse the surrender letter sent by Lin Xiao, hoping that the three of them would express their position.
Because most of the death row prisoners were composed of death row prisoners, they came from many vassal states, but the main members were the vassal states in the north that were close to the outside of the Saiwai, such as the Zhao State, the Jin State, and the Xiongnu, Donghu and other vassal states and the Saiwai tribes.
At present, the three generals standing in front of Ran Meng are from the Zhao State, the Jin State and the Xiongnu State.
Because they are death row prisoners, after they join the death row inmates, in order not to be bullied and despised, they form their own gangs according to the region.
Therefore, among the death row prisoners, there is a strong nostalgic atmosphere, although Ran Meng is the leader of the death row prisoners and controls the death row prisoners from the Jin Kingdom, he cannot control the whole army alone.
The surrender of the Yan army was a matter of life and death for the 50,000 death row inmates, and he did not dare to dictate it, so as not to cause disputes and cause infighting among the death row inmates.
After reading the surrender book, Ye Leng, the prisoner general from Zhao State, had a calm face, and glanced at Ran Meng and the three of them: "Leader, Lin Xiao is a member of the royal family of Yan State, since he took the initiative to surrender, he has never been untrustworthy, at present, we have been without food for several days, and the soldiers are miserable, if we continue to consume, even if the Yan army does not send troops, we will starve to death." Therefore, the last general is in favor of surrender! ”
"That's right, people die for money, birds die for food, the purpose of our death row prisoner army is to save our lives, although Bor Chi has spent a lot of money to let us live happily for many years, we have also paid a heavy price, and now Bor Chi is weak, we are in a desperate situation, don't talk about any loyalty and courage, family and country feelings, leader, the last general is also in favor of surrendering."
General A Gu from the Xiongnu, facing Ran Meng and Meng Wenbo, who was also a Jin State.
Because the Yan State destroyed the Jin State, most of the people from the Jin State refused to surrender to the Yan Army, especially Meng Wenbo from the Jin State, who resolutely opposed the surrender of the Yan Army, and once released a bold statement that he would rather die in battle than surrender to the Yan Army.
When Ran Meng heard this, he frowned slightly, and from the bottom of his heart, he did not approve of surrendering to the Yan army, although he killed people in the Jin Kingdom, he still had some nostalgia for the Jin Kingdom.
When the Yan State attacked the Jin State, if he fought against the cavalry of the Donghu Wangting outside the Saiwai, he would definitely go to support Wang Lunyue and resist the Yan army together.
What's more, everyone in the death row army knows that during the siege of Wang Lunyue's army for several months, he sent people to secretly send the grain and grass donated by the Jin prisoners in the death row army to the front line, but unfortunately it was intercepted by the Yan army when he was at the Black Flag Pass.
Ran Meng always thought that they were prisoners, but they were not heinous beasts, sometimes, they still had to have a little family and country feelings, there was a saying that didn't say it well, didn't you slaughter dogs more in righteousness?
He was reckless, but he had his own rules for doing things, at least the death row unit had been formed for many years, and he had always strictly forbidden attacks on the border fortresses of the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he refused to surrender to the Yan Kingdom!
