Chapter 197: Scorching Peak (Thank you for all the precious monthly tickets that will be airdropped)
Senlan Maru walked to Chen Xiaochu's front with difficulty, saw the vigilant group of New Guard soldiers in front of him, and said slowly: "You are right, resistance has no effect. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Putting the knife back into its sheath, Mori Lan Maru slowly raised his saber above his head and presented it in front of Chen Xiaochu, then knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Please allow our army to surrender and give us the disposition of the royal road." ”
"Don't you want to cut your stomach?" Chen Xiaochu looked at Senlan Maru Dao with some frowns, these warriors must not be let go, with them, they can organize an army to fight against themselves at any time, and they are truly threatening existences.
"People who have died once have a very great attachment to life, I will not insist on everything, I want to live, the ruler from China, can you accept us?" Mori Lanmaru lowered his head and said tentatively.
"Want to change sides and join me? Is it just to live? Chen Xiaochu was a little surprised by the warrior who made the choice in this desperate situation, and said directly: "Your existence is not of much use to me, and if you exist under my command, it is just a threat to me, and the basic concepts cannot be the same, how can we coexist?" I respect you, so I give you the choice of the way to die, if you are greedy for life and do not want to do it yourself, under my sword, none of you can get a whole corpse. ”
Senranmaru raised his head, looked at Chen Xiaochu and said with some unwillingness: "Is it because he looks down on our bravery?" We don't expect to get status, as long as we can live, we are willing to go to the army. ”
"Sign the army?" Chen Xiaochu said suspiciously when he heard this.
"Yes, it's to sign the army." Mori Ranmaru said with a firm look in his eyes: "In the history of our civilization in Dongying, the captured people who were once invaded and defeated by the nomadic system became the signing army of the nomadic system as the vanguard of the siege, as long as I can survive, I am willing to become the signing army under your command." ”
"Is the desire to survive so strong?" Chen Xiaochu looked at the insistent Senlan Pill and thought, a person who endures humiliation and burdens in order to survive must be for a more ambitious plan for the future. Thinking of Emily's description of the Cliff Castle, Chen Xiao Chujue's other party's proposal seemed acceptable, "You don't want to survive, find a chance to escape, and then defeat me later, but I don't care about this, I do need strength now, you guessed that I would attack the English in the future from the moment I said that I would not occupy the castle of the Dongying people, since you gave up the glory and dignity of the samurai to live, then I will give you this opportunity." ”
A New Guard soldier took the saber presented by Senlan Maru and sent it to Chen Xiaochu.
"This katana is good, but it's quite sharp, like a famous weapon." Drawing the knife out of the sheath, Chen Xiaochu looked at Senlan Maru's saber, praised, turned his head to look at Ono Ingao, and motioned for the other party to step forward, Ono Ingao immediately bowed and trotted closer.
Put the knife back into the sheath, and then casually threw it to Ono Ingao, Chen Xiaochu slowly turned the horse's head and said to Ono Ingao: "This is your reward." Looking at the new guard soldiers who were looking at him, Chen Xiaochu said in a loud voice: "The defenders of Shanchun City have surrendered, and this battle is the victory of the new guards." ”
"Victory." "We won." After Moriranmaru handed over his weapons, all the samurai under his command sat on the ground decadently, and when they saw the new guard soldiers in such a scene, they couldn't help but raise their weapons and cheered.
"Genmen Jiro obeys orders." Chen Xiaochu's face was solemn, and then he looked at Genmen Jiro and said.
"Your Majesty is here." Genmen Jiro immediately bowed his head and responded.
"Take out the grain reserves of Shanchun City, except for the part that we can take away, the rest will be given to these surrendered ashigaru, collect all the weapons of the surrendered army, and not leave a single arrow, those are the trophies of your new guard, in addition, order someone to tie up the samurai in the surrendering army with ropes, and everyone will be connected together, remember, from now on, starve them for a day, and after that, there will only be one meal a day, go and do it now, and after you are done, set fire to the city." Chen Xiaochu said quietly.
"Obey the order, and your subordinates will do it immediately." After hearing this, Genmen Jiro immediately turned around and began to order the new guard soldiers to move.
Mori Ranmaru was very obedient, without a trace of resistance, seeing his general act like this, the banner samurai under his command had no choice but to give up the last resistance and be tied up by ropes.
"As long as I can live, I will have a chance to escape." Senranmaru looked at the approaching Xinwei sergeant and thought in his heart, although he didn't understand why Chen Xiaochu wanted to wave his army to attack the Englishman's sphere of influence, but Senranmaru was sure that Chen Xiaochu would definitely suffer setbacks, as long as there was a trace of chaos on the battlefield, he would have a chance to escape, and the strength of the English army was not the existence that these Chinese armies could defeat in front of him.
"Huh? Why use chains? Moriranmaru saw the shackles on his hands, showing a hint of struggle, but he quickly restrained himself, and the soldiers of the New Guard actually restrained himself with iron chains, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of his escape.
Ono looked at Senranmaru with high vigilance, and after seeing the other party's hands tied, he said happily: "What about the guards of Shanchun City, they are not tied up in embarrassment, and there is no trace of glory and dignity. ”
The corners of Moranmaru's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't pay attention to Ono Intaka's provocation, just focusing on Gento Jiro, who kept issuing instructions.
"You dare to ignore me, you guys, find another pair of chains and tie his legs." Ono should have seen Senranmaru's arrogant expression, and wanted to draw his sword angrily, but because Chen Xiaochu had already agreed to stay with Senranmaru's life, he didn't dare to really do it, so he could only think of some other ways to hit Senranmaru's spirit.
"This is just the treatment of the strong when they are in trouble, usually handcuffed, and then untied on the battlefield, right, I already have the consciousness of being a signing army, come on." Moran Maru looked at the chains dragged over by the few ashigaru who were running, and said calmly, although there will be some restrictions on running with leg cuffs, but you might as well walk by yourself.
Numerous supplies began to be loaded onto wagons, including weapons and armor left behind by the surrendered Ashigaru samurai, and outside Yamaharu Castle, Gento Jiro commanded the captives to collect the remaining food.
The ashigaru people lowered their heads and received bags of food, and then they were let go by the soldiers of the new guard, until they received the food and walked out for a while, and the ashigaru people looked back from time to time, unable to believe that they had been let go like this.
"My lord, why did you let go of that enemy general?" Zhao Yun followed Chen Xiaochu out of Shanchun City, looked at the scattered figures of Ashigaru in the mountains, and asked with some doubts.
"Zilong, you'll find out later." After Chen Xiaochu led the cavalry to leave Shanchun City, he did not go far, but stayed on the mountainside, observing the movements of the new guards.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the carriages loaded with supplies began to drive out of Shanchun City, and most of the ashigaru who received food did not leave, not only that, but many villagers in the surrounding villages began to gather in twos and threes, close to the path down the mountain to watch the team leaving the mountain city.
"Lord Chen is here to combat the influence of the Maeda Army." Pei Yuanqing saw the bound Senlan Pill and his party, and immediately said with some understanding.
"That's right, authority is built by implanting consciousness, and there is no more effective way to destroy the influence of an army than to let them see the downfall of this army with their own eyes, so that even if Maeda Toshiya returns to recruit Ashigaru in the future, and when they arrive on the battlefield, these people who have witnessed today's scene will have a psychological shadow on us." Looking at the warriors with their heads bowed and being pulled by a thick rope, Chen Xiaochu responded quietly.
After seeing that Genmen Jiro had already done something, Chen Xiaochu drove the horses slowly down the mountain, and Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanqing and other generals behind him followed, and the walking ashigaru along the way and the villagers who gathered to look forward to reuniting with their families saw the situation, and they all got out of the way, knelt on both sides, touched the ground with their heads and hands, and waited for Chen Xiaochu's departure with a little trepidation.
The villagers around Shanchun City have witnessed a lot of things today, and they don't understand why they were given food, especially after seeing the towed Senranmaru and his party, this doubt reached its peak, and the image of the Maeda Army in the impression seemed to be subverted by this new guard army composed of Dongying people, and behind the departure of the new guard team, there was a monstrous flame that slowly ignited.
The scorching heat filled the entire mountain. (To be continued.) )
