Chapter 293: Standing

To say that a person is not afraid of death, Qin Dong really doesn't believe it, no matter how brave and strong this person is, he always doesn't want to die, if he is not forced to a dead end, no one wants to die, it is the instinct of any creature to live, this is not transferred by human will.

Qin Dong knew that the reason why Enek said such things was nothing more than to die to save face and suffer crimes, after all, Enek was a prince, and he was the bloodline of Attila, the whip of God, so that Enek surrendered to him without fighting, Enek really couldn't let go of this face.

Qin Dong said in a loud voice: "Your Highness Enek, I know that you are a rare warrior in the world, you are not afraid of death, are your soldiers not afraid of death either?" It is true that you can make our army suffer heavy losses if you fight to the death, but I can guarantee that none of you will be able to go back.

Your Highness Enek, don't you think about the soldiers under your command? They all have parents, brothers and sisters, wives and children, but there are 20,000 people here, all of them Huns! Since the beginning of the civil strife, your brothers have been fighting one after another, with heavy casualties, the population of the Huns has decreased sharply, and the good situation created by Attila alone has been ruined, the Xiongnu Empire has been torn apart, the generals of various places are in their own ways, the Ostrogoths, Gepid and other barbarians are gradually encroaching on the land of the Xiongnu Empire, and are wantonly killing the Huns, if this continues, within a few years, I am afraid that the Huns will be annihilated in the torrent of history, are you worthy of your father and the previous kings of the Xiongnu Empire?

Your Highness, as the son of Attila Dadanyu, you have the responsibility to protect the people of the Xiongnu Empire and to pass on the empire. An agreement can be reached between us as long as you want, from now on. I, Qin Dong, serve you as the new Da Dan Yu of the Xiongnu Empire, and I am the regent of the Hun Empire, isn't it what you have always dreamed of becoming the new Da Dan Yu of the Hun Empire? If you wish, your wish will be fulfilled immediately, think of your princess and sons, who are waiting for you to return in Bucharest, and the families of these 20,000 soldiers are also waiting for them to return. As long as you agree to this agreement, you can be your big order, and you don't need to worry about all military and political affairs. You can stay in your Dadanyu palace every day and enjoy the life of the wine pond meat forest, how about it? Your Highness Enek, as the son of Attila Dadanyu, don't you have a little responsibility? You don't think about yourself. You should also think about the people around you. Think of these poor 20,000 soldiers! There is only an hour before dawn, and I will give you three hours to think about it, and after three hours, if you still have not decided, then I will have to give the order to attack."

Qin Dong's words were too lethal, especially in front of Enek's 20,000 troops, almost all the soldiers under Enek's command heard it, and the meaning of Qin Dong's words was obvious, that is, you Enek can't be too selfish. In the current situation, as long as you are not a fool, you know that stubborn resistance can only end up in the annihilation of the whole army, and you Enek can't sacrifice 20,000 soldiers for yourself. It doesn't matter if you die, don't drag so many people to be buried with you, they all have parents and children to support! If you want to choose to surrender, I can serve you as Shan Yu, you make me the regent, from now on you will no longer be in charge of military and political affairs, I will be responsible for all military and political affairs, you can stay in your palace and enjoy life, this not only fulfills your Shan Yu dream, but also preserves 20,000 soldiers, it is really the best of both worlds, why not?

Enek should have vomited blood in anger when he heard this, but this time he was not angry, as Qin Dong said, he couldn't be so selfish, he couldn't let the 20,000 army be destroyed here because of his own selfishness, but before he could speak, a commander next to him retorted angrily.

"Bold Qin Dong, you are simply a heart-wrenching statement, if you sincerely serve His Highness as a big Danyu, why don't you let Your Highness manage military and political affairs? Is it still a big order that can't handle military and political affairs? You clearly want Your Highness to be your puppet! Even if His Highness agrees, I will not agree, it is better to live like a dog than to die vigorously! ”

Qin Dong said angrily: "Ha, it is because of selfish people like you that the Xiongnu Empire will become what it is today, and with a few people like you, the Xiongnu Empire will really be peaceful and grow stronger and stronger!" Without further ado, from now on, Your Highness Enek, after three hours, if you haven't made a choice, then I'll just help you make a choice! ”

After saying this, Qin Dong stopped talking, but sat quietly on the back of the horse and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Over there, Meng Lei persuaded Enek: "Your Highness, don't think about it anymore, we can only fight to the death, maybe there is still a chance to escape, as long as we can escape back to Bucharest, we can recruit warriors again to seek revenge from Qin Dong!" ”

At this point, not everyone has the determination to fight to the death like Meng Lei, although the other generals did not speak, but their faces showed fear and fear, in the situation of being surrounded on all sides, not everyone can handle it calmly, Enek saw the expressions on the faces of the generals, he knew that even if he forcibly ordered the whole army to break through, I am afraid that the chance of success would be extremely slim, and Qin Dong was likely to make corresponding arrangements.

Agul said leisurely: "Even if we can escape back to Bucharest, I'm afraid Qin Dong won't give us a chance to turn over, these 20,000 troops are the elite main force of His Highness, only a thousand people have horses, and the others don't have horses, do you think they can escape back?" Without the 20,000 army, Qin Dong only needs to send this cavalry army on the opposite side to sweep through Bucharest, he will not give us the opportunity to recruit warriors again, even if we can escape, he will definitely lead the army to follow and pursue, now we are sleepy and lacking horses, I am afraid that without Qin Dong's action, we will be exhausted, frozen to death, or starved to death on the way back! ”

Agul's words were analyzed very thoroughly, and Enek had no choice but to surrender, otherwise all that awaited him was ruin.

An hour later, when the day dawned, many soldiers stood in the snow and shivered, Enek said with sadness: "Surrender, I can die, I can surrender, as long as I can save the lives of these 20,000 soldiers, I am willing to give up my face and dignity, Qin Dong is right, I can't be too selfish, as the son of Attila Da Danyu, I should be a responsible person, my eldest brother Erak killed himself in order to keep the 30,000 army under his command, I can't be worse than him, give the order, let everyone lay down their arms and surrender!" ”

After Enek finished speaking, the generals all lowered their heads, and the commander Meng Lei burst into tears, "Your Highness, surrender is a shame for me, I would rather die than surrender, please forgive the last general for not being able to follow His Highness's orders, Your Highness take care, the last general will go first!" "Then he drew his sword and killed himself.

No one thought that Monray would be so strong, his death made the other generals very ashamed, but it also strengthened their surrender, and soon Commander Raymond was unwilling to surrender, and the news of his suicide and death spread out, and the morale of the soldiers was extremely low.

Enek was silent for a long time holding Raymond's corpse, and when the sun came out, he put down Raymond's corpse and stood up and shouted to Qin Dong: "Qin Dong, it's okay if you want me to surrender, but you must promise me two conditions, first, bury Raymond with princely courtesy, and second, don't hurt everyone here, and those who don't want to continue to serve in the army, you must let them go back!" As for me personally, life or death, it's up to you! ”

Qin Dong immediately agreed: "Your Highness, I agree to both of your conditions, I know about General Raymond, he is a loyal person and a warrior!" There are many talented people in this world, but there are very few people who are talented, loyal, and courageous, and General Raymond is one of them, and I admire him very much. As for His Royal Highness's second condition, soldiers who are not willing to join the army can of course go home, I will not only let them go home, but I will also give each of them the money to go home, no matter what, they have all dedicated their youth and blood to the Hun Empire! ”

Enek nodded, he rode his horse and turned to face all the soldiers and shouted: "Soldiers, it is I Enek who is incompetent, and I can't escape from the siege with you, for the sake of everyone's lives, in order to give you the opportunity to go back alive to meet your family, I order you to lay down your arms and surrender, Qin Dong is a capable person, he will treat you well, those who are not willing to continue to serve in the army, he will give you travel expenses to let you go home, those who are willing to stay in the army, I hope you must do a good job!" ”

Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, and soon some people dropped their weapons in the snow, and the cavalry began to dismount and wait for the surrendered men to come and receive the horses, harnesses, and weapons.

When everyone put down their weapons, Qin Dong waved his hand, Su He gave an order, and a large number of cavalry galloped to receive the prisoners and count the spoils, while the generals under the command of Enek and Agul walked in front of Qin Dong on foot, and Qin Dong jumped down from his horse and walked over.

Enek took off the Damascus scimitar on his waist and raised his hands above his head to surrender to Qin Dong, Qin Dong took the Damascus scimitar and threw it to Su He beside him, and then helped Enek up and said with a smile: "Your Highness has made a wise decision, these 20,000 soldiers will thank you for your great mind, what Qin Dong said before is still valid, I am willing to serve His Highness as a big Danyu, I hope His Highness agrees." ”

Aneko's lips turned bitter and said, "Qin Dong, why are you doing this?" Do you think I'm doing a fun job with this puppet? You're either going to kill me or you're going to make me an ordinary herdsman! ”

Qin Dong said with a smile: "Your Highness, how about a discussion, you lend me ten years, in these ten years, peace of mind to be your big order, ten years later, I will return your free body, when the time comes, whether you are a herdsman or a farmer, I will not stop you, how about it?" ”

"Can I refuse?"

"I'm afraid not!" (To be continued......)
