Chapter 1125: Forced Surrender
The "Battle of Kunduz" began.
This was a purposeful encirclement and annihilation battle, and Daqin deployed for three months, and finally, surrounded 500,000 people of the Anxi expeditionary force in the Kunduz River valley basin.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
"Open the gap and go home!"
The rest of the people launched a crazy attack on the camp of the Qin army's Zhang He front army again and again. In order to go home, they did not care about a qiΔ. However, they forget that under their feet is someone else's home, a place they once wanted to conquer.
Arrows and flints flew all over the sky, but most of the dead were resting people.
Zhang He had already received Qin Feng's edict and came to the southwest exit of the Kunduz River Valley a month ago. The materials are complete, the barriers are strong, and the officers and men of the whole army have been recuperating for a long time.
The walls of this place are different. It is as high as ten zhang, and outside the wall, there is a ravine five zhang deep and four zhang wide.
It's an insurmountable chasm.
Since the Sabbatarians were defeated all the way here, there were no large siege engines in the army. Although this river valley basin is wide, there is not much tall vegetation, and there are no other equipment to make the ladder.
But the Sabbatarians were mad, and they drove the camels with bows and flints that covered the heavens and the sun. These creatures, with their natural instincts, stopped in front of the ravine. However, the pressure behind is mounting. Then, countless camels, screaming, rolled down.
Tens of thousands of camels, filling the ravines.
Even more frenzied, the resting people rushed under the earthen walls.
In the sound of the explosion, countless meteors and flints crossed the city wall. smashed into the battle array of the swarming Sabbatarians. Even if there is a strong shield to resist, it will be smashed out of a puddle of flesh. Blood and the resilient guts. Splash on the ground around you.
This valley that has been dry for an unknown number of thousands of years finally has water againβblood water.
on the city walls. Five rows of Qin troops staggered their positions, and three rows held large shields high, defending their archers against the enemy's bows.
And the archers of Great Qin, without any expression, shoot, retreat, take arrows, advance, and shoot. It was as if they were carrying a shrewd killing machine, a sharp arrow of revenge, bursting into clusters of bright red blood in the chest of the enemy under the city walls.
The enemy is crazy after the ladder is built. The soldiers, who did not have time to climb, used the sharp blades in their hands to dig the earthen city wall. As far as the eye can see, under the four-mile-long city wall, dense dots are piled up. It's like an ant colony, in any way, shaking the barrier in front of you.
The enemy was cunning, and they also held up huge shields to resist the bows and arrows of the Qin army.
The ten-zhang high city wall. It's so majestic, ordinary people can't have the heart to fight at all. But the Sabbatarians were mad, but soon they were desperate.
When there are too many Sabbaths under the city. Zhang He gave the order.
Barrels of oil were poured down, and the archers were replaced with rockets.
A scalp-tinging bowstring was followed by a rumbling pop. A sea of fire beneath the walls.
The Sabbatarians screamed and rolled. Most of them were reduced to ashes, and only a few fled in a hurry. The offensive stalled for a while.
After resting in peace, the three armies looked at the surging sea of fire, and they were full of despair.
"Damn!" Silvan Ai smashed his helmet on the ground, no matter what the cost, he was going to break through, he roared loudly, and he ordered his generals, each with ten thousand troops, to take turns to storm the city walls.
"Report to the ......, marshal, the Qin army stormed our army barracks! General Maliksha called for help ....... β
"Report to the ......, Dashuai, in the northwest direction, a large number of Qin troops have appeared! General Tidosasin called for help ....... β
"What!" Hilwan Ai, who roared angrily, suddenly closed his voice, and his face turned white with a whoosh. He found that he was a little reckless, and he should be fully prepared before he went all out. He calmed down because of this, "Give the order, the whole army retreats, and the battle will be fought again in the coming day." β
The Sabbatarians retreated, leaving behind countless corpses only on the red-stained earth.
On the other hand.
Qin Feng, the Emperor of Hongwu, personally commanded the army and launched an offensive against the rest camp. Because the Qin army had been prepared for a long time, there were much more siege equipment than the resting people. The trebuchet played a decisive role, completely suppressing the Sabbaths at the head of the city.
As the Qin army launched a ground offensive, the defense of the Anxiks was very difficult.
However, Qin Feng also knew that if he really wanted to break through the camp of the resting people, he would have to pay a huge price.
He's just feintting.
When Marshal Sirwangai appeared at the head of the city, Qin Feng also knew that his containment offensive had been successful.
So, he immediately called gold and gave up the siege.
"Emperor Hongwu!" When Silvan Ai saw the golden figure in front of the Qin army, he was full of anger and shouted: "Emperor Hongwu, you killed me and rested in peace with 400,000 sons. Now they are aggressive, trying to drive us out. This move is in the name of China's thousand-year-old benevolence, and I, Sirwangai, will never let you succeed, and I will definitely pay the price! β
Qin Feng was furious, rode his horse forward, and pointed the golden gun in his hand at the past, "Sirwangai!" Rest in peace and invade my Great Qin, and the lives of millions of my Great Qin people will be ruined. You have committed a great deal of crime in our homeland, and you are here to blame. If you pretend to be a victim and rest so shamelessly, the true God will be disgraced by it! β
A group of invaders, war criminals. Caught and judged, they say that others are unkind. I've seen shamelessness, I've never seen such shamelessness, and I can't let more than the devils of later generations.
The soldiers of the Qin army scolded one after another.
Hilwan was speechless.
Qin Feng's purpose was to consume the enemy's grain and grass. Now that Sirwangai has withdrawn the troops that broke through the siege, Qin Feng's side also collected his troops and returned to the camp.
In the following three days, Sirwangai provoked many times, but the Qin army just couldn't hold out. He launched two more large-scale offensives against the southwest exit, but they were also in vain.
As time passed, the Sabbatarians, who lacked food and clothing, became demoralized, and the Sabbatical Expeditionary Force was gradually cornered.
On that day ten days passed since the siege of the Sabbaths. The food of the Sabbaths is running out. Embattled, the only thing to rejoice in is. It's still safe to starve.
In the big tent, Sirwanai and other high-level people rested. It is also a thin face with yellow muscles.
"Marshal, the camels and horses have almost been eaten, and there has already begun to be infighting in the army, fighting for food, and many people have died." Maliksha finished speaking, and his stomach growled.
The faces of the crowd were even more difficult to look at.
"It's only enough for ten days, and after ten days, there will be no more food......." Tidosasin's face is green.
Sirwanai slapped the table, "Instead of sitting and waiting to starve to death." It is better to assault the whole army and fight to the death. He had been thinking about it for many days, and he was ready to leave 20,000 men to defend the camp and block the main force of the Qin army. Another 20,000 men blocked the Qin army at the northwest entrance. The remaining 400,000 troops will be thrown into the southwest battlefield at one time, and even if the whole army is annihilated, a passage must be opened.
Tidosasin's face turned pale, if it was such a reckless breakthrough. Then even a general like him will inevitably die. His heart moved, and he said, "Dashuai, do this." Even if they break out of the encirclement, there are not many soldiers and horses left, and they will not help the predicament that the empire is about to face. β
Sirwanai gave him a cold look. "What do you want to say?"
Tidosasin immediately said, "It is better to send an envoy to negotiate peace, and we will pretend to surrender." The Qin army must have come to absorb it. The Qin army will leave the camp, and we will take the opportunity to attack wildly. Hit the Qin army by surprise! β
"Great idea!"
"Makes sense!" The generals chimed in, saying that this was a brilliant ploy and the only chance for the army.
After thinking about it, Sirwanai felt that this plan could be carried out, so he said: "Only by sending a high-ranking general can you express your sincerity." Tidosasin, since you have the idea in mind, how about you go to Emperor Hongwu and surrender? β
"It's ......." Tidosassin's face turned green, and when he looked around, everyone turned their faces to the side. Seeing that Sirwanai's face was gloomy, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
At the gate of the barracks, Silvan Ai encouraged: "General Tidosasin, the fate of the expeditionary force is in your hands!" β
Tidosasin was quite excited, and beat his chest and saluted, "Don't worry, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!" β
"General Tidosasin, take care!" All the soldiers returned the salute together.
Tidosasin's features twisted as he turned his head, and he took a deep breath, took a white flag, slung it on his shoulder, and rode away.
Half an hour later.
"Don't let go of the arrows, don't let go of the arrows...... I'm here to surrender!" Tidosasin waved a white flag.
Daqin's army all have interpreters, but there are white flags, and the intention is very clear.
"Ouch!" Tidosasin was dragged off his horse and, in terror, dragged into the camp by the Qin garrison.
At noon, Qin Feng was eating and drinking in the imperial tent.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! The enemy general Tidosasin has surrendered! Dian Wei ran in.
"What!" The bones in Qin Feng's hand fell back on the plate, and he wiped his grease mouth, almost unable to believe that it was true, "General Rest surrenders?" He turned his mind, "Take him in and pass on the ...... of the three military advisors." β
After a while, Tidosasin was taken to the royal tent by the Great Flower Bundle, and was greeted by the trio of military advisors.
Lao Jia Xu wiped his sweat, "Surrender? β
Guo Jia thought about ...... all the way.
Pang Tong held a chicken paw in his mouth, and when he saw Tidosasin, he walked over in three steps and two steps, and after spitting out the chicken paw, he said, "Do you surrender yourself, or do you surrender with the whole army?" β
Tidosasin's gaze followed the paws of the chickens to the ground, staring at the paws on the ground, his throat twitching, and his stomach gurgling. The escorted Daqin guards were disdainful for a while.
Pang Tong was very displeased, kicked the chicken paw out of Tidosasin's sight, patted his head, it was a puff of dust, and fanned: "This army division asked you, do you surrender by yourself or the whole army?" β
Before Tidosasin could speak, he was dragged into the royal tent.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We have no food, we surrender ....... Tidosasin told the truth.
Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair, not seeing joy or anger, but asked, "How are you going to surrender?" β
"As long as Your Majesty tells me the time of surrender, our army will all walk out of the camp unarmed...... β
"Unarmed, all out of the house? Well, it seems that your army still has a sincere ....... Qin Feng was overjoyed, one side was besieged, and there was no food to surrender, such a thing is not uncommon. It seemed that his own strategy played a decisive role, he smiled slightly, and said: "Since your army is so sincere, I can't be unjust, come here, give a banquet ......." β
As soon as Tidosasin entered the tent, his eyes stopped on Qin Feng's lunch. Now that his mission has been completed, he has food to eat, and his life has been saved. Immediately ecstatic, and said in his heart that when the time comes, he will be able to win the imperial war by killing Emperor Hongwu, then he will become an imperial hero, and high-ranking officials will not be a problem!
