Chapter 41: The Great War (20)

"Report to the general, the enemy's vanguard cavalry has all been wiped out, and whether to attack in an all-out way, please ask the general to decide."

Gongsun Xu looked at the signal soldier sent by Lan Yu beside him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that at this time, these people under him had already become extremely convinced of him, if it weren't for this, these soldiers would never choose to take the initiative.

More than 500 Wuhuan pioneers were wiped out in the large array of wooden stakes designed by Gongsun Xu, and the casualties of the soldiers under Gongsun Xu were less than 10%.

That is, after the complete destruction of those cavalry of the Wuhuan vanguard.

The casualties under Gongsun Xu were no more than 100, and many of them were lightly wounded.

It's just that at this time, Gongsun Xu will definitely not choose to let his subordinates take the initiative, he knows in his heart that the enemy has lost confidence at this time, and it is the best choice to increase their fear with silent coercion.

At this time, Wuhuan's cavalry had developed a fear of Xingcheng, and the more unknown things became, the more uneasy they were.

The vanguard of the Wuhuan cavalry were all elite troops of the Wuhuan cavalry, and it was quite difficult for thousands of Han soldiers to completely kill them, and they began to guess in their hearts whether there was a large group of Han soldiers ambushing them in Xingcheng.

Captain Qu on the Chinese side has sent more than a dozen squads to search for the location of the forward cavalry.

However, since the departure of these search teams, no information has been transmitted.

The news that there is no news is the most frightening, if there is nothing to do with entering the vanguard of Xingcheng, it is time to contact them a long time ago and pass on messages to each other.

Seeing that there were more and more people on the city wall where Gongsun Xu and them were, the archery of bows and arrows was becoming more and more intensive, and as soon as a leader came to the front to direct the attack, they would be shot by the enemy's archers, and the confidence of the Wuhuan cavalry was getting lower and lower.

Gongsun Xu let his subordinates release arrows vigorously for a while, and after completely suppressing the attack of the Wuhuan people below, he began to let everyone under him shout in Wuhuan dialect.

"Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill."

"Surrender is your only option."

Cries of 'lay down your arms, surrender or kill' are getting louder and louder.

And with the shouts from above the city wall, the sound of 'surrender or kill' began to spread, and shouts of surrender and not killing appeared in all directions.

The Wuhuan cavalry began to despair, and the city gate was firmly blocked by stones, and the road back was desperate.

The number of the Chinese army was only about seven or eight hundred at this time, and just listening to the shouts from all directions, the number of people on the Han army side should have exceeded two thousand.

If there were no shouts of surrender from all directions, these Wuhuan cavalry would still be able to hold out for a while.

However, the more and more voices shouting surrender have completely destroyed their confidence, and it is like the last straw on the bodies of these Wuhuan cavalrymen.

Cavalry Ustan who had been in the army for half a year looked depressed and couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

It's over, it's all over. This time, I am afraid that I have fallen for the tricks of the Han people, and everyone will die here.

I really don't want to die! I also have an elderly mother and a young sister at home, and if I die here, they will be doomed.

Fall? No drop? Ustan was tormented inside.

Ustan was nineteen years old, and he had only been following the cavalry team for half a year, and he was a backup after the reduction of the troops promoted to adults.

He had also thought about laying down his arms and surrendering before, but the glory of the Wuhuan cavalry and his hatred for the Han people drove him to choose the latter.

Ustan gripped his weapons and prepared to fight with his comrades.

Just when Ustan was determined to fight to the death and was ready to fight a bloody way with his colleagues, Chifei, who joined the cavalry with him and was like a brother, dropped his weapon as if he had fallen silently, and even rushed out with a few Wuhuan cavalrymen from his side.

Chifei descended?!!! My good brother Chifei is going to surrender?!!!

What should I do? Ustan wavered in his determination to fight to the death.

Ustan knew in his heart that their defeat this time was a foregone conclusion, it was only a matter of whether they could escape from the damn place of Xingcheng alive.

"Those who surrender to the enemy will not be killed. There is no mercy for those who defect. ”

Wuhuan Qu Chang Murong Shuang roared angrily, and even rushed down with a few guards around him and quickly rushed towards Chifei and a few people.

That is, in a few seconds, Chifei and a few people who laid down their weapons and were about to surrender, their heads flew high, and their bodies fell heavily under the horses like blood gourds.

Murong Shuang's thunderous shot immediately shocked the cavalry around him, and the cavalry around him was silent, without the idea of surrendering immediately, and began to wait and see.

"Brothers in the cavalry of Wuhuan, our general said, those who surrender will not be killed. If you kill a general above the rank of commander and surrender, and kill a general of any official position, our general will appoint you as a general of what kind of general, and reward you with ten taels of gold. ”

"Fellow cavalry brothers of Wuhuan, what are you waiting for now? Is it waiting to die there? Don't you hear that you people are the only ones left in the whole city, and there is only one way to die if you resist in the end, and don't you take money and food for whoever you serve as soldiers? ”

"Now that our adults have said it, you don't need to lay down your arms in advance, as long as you surrender."

"If anyone prevents you from surrendering and sending you to your death, you must definitely raise your weapons and kill those damned officers."

"So, what are you waiting for? There are a lot of Wuhuan soldiers under our lords, and the treatment is much stronger than that of your tribe, so don't hesitate, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop. ”

When Gongsun Xu saw that the Wuhuan soldiers began to surrender but were killed by those Wuhuan generals, he immediately passed these words to the Wuhuan people on the city wall, asking them to shout in the Wuhuan language, so that the Wuhuan cavalry below could hear these words.

These words are definitely the most damaging words, and as soon as these words come out, those Wuhuan generals will have a kind of fear no matter who they see.

Thousands of miles of soldiers are only for wealth and officials, with such an opportunity, with such a situation, they really can't believe everyone around them.

Not all soldiers are warriors who are not afraid of death.

Everyone is afraid of death, but the degree of fear of death is different, and the determination to die calmly is different.

If everyone is not afraid of death, if everyone can twist into a force, even if dozens of people are facing thousands of troops, they can fight for it.

However, as soon as someone chooses to surrender in desperation, and everyone begins to feel distrustful, the army begins to fall apart.

It's messed up, the entire Chinese army is completely messed up after the appearance of two groups of surrendered cavalry, and the progress that had already advanced to Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun not far from the city wall where they were has also stopped, and they don't know what they should do now.

The Lord is about to die, there is no way back, and the road ahead makes them feel even more terrifying, under such a kind of suppression, once someone breaks out, once there is a surrender of dozens of people, everyone's hearts are scattered.

The originally neatly promoted Chinese army was suddenly divided into several camps, and the commanders of each song also lost the mind of commanding the attack at this time, and called their own soldiers to their side to prevent accidents......
