Shi Quan simply threw away the knife in his hand, picked up a halberd from the ground next to him, and rushed towards a white man with an arquebus directly in front of him. The other party was frightened by the fierce and hideous Shi Quan, and he didn't want to turn around and run away, Shi Quan sneered and pounced, stabbed the man in the back with a sharp halberd, regardless of the screams and struggles, directly put the halberd upside down and stuck it deep into the blood-soaked muddy ground.

The actions of the commander are always the most representative. Under the influence of the division, the rest of the lion infantry followed his example, grabbed the halberds scattered on the position, pierced through the white men one by one, and stuck them upside down on the ground.

On the battlefield of blood and fire, a large "corpse forest" soon appeared.

There is nothing more frightening than that.

The coalition soldiers who served as the rearguard were terrified, and they looked at the dense "corpse forest" as far as the eye could see, their hands holding their guns trembling, and their legs were as heavy as lead. Not all those stuck in the tips of halberds will die on the spot, at least half of them are still alive. Their bodies were pierced, their internal organs were badly damaged, and their unbalanced bodies were unable to move in the face of massive loss of energy, and could only hang on the tip of their guns and die, letting out deathless screams and groans.

"It's horrible...... They are not humans, they are giants. ”

"I shouldn't have come to this place. Hell, I'm going home. ”

"Holy Lord above, I have seen hell with my own eyes......"

The first man to turn and flee appeared, throwing away his arquebus and running desperately. Under his leadership, more soldiers joined the fleeing ranks. Although they had drunk Migael Potion Forty-Four and were no longer afraid of death and pain, they could not suppress the chain reaction to their brains caused by the horrific images they saw.

To the north, on the wooden tower that was temporarily erected to observe the battle situation, Xu Kun, the commander of the Sixth Army, put down the binoculars in his hand and looked excitedly at Tianhao who was standing beside him: "Your Highness, those white people ran away, and they all fled." ”

Tianhao maintained a fixed standing posture holding the telescope in his hand, and nodded gently: "I saw it." ”

He then ordered: "The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Corps will attack. The second mobile unit of the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan attacked. Pressing up as fast as possible, regardless of cost and casualties, the main positions of the whites must be closed and surrounded before dark. ”

……

At the bottom of the canyon to the south, a thick layer of corpses was piled up.

Thousands of white soldiers were driven down the gentle slopes down the canyon. Only a third of them carried arquebuses, and the rest were all armed with shovels or hoes, digging at the edge of the canyon leading to the south. It's hard to say whether this worked or not, but one thing is certain———— they suffered heavy casualties, from both the defenders of the fortress and their own forces, resulting in two successive echelons of attack, totaling 40,000 killed.

Now it is the third group that has been driven down the canyon.

"Don't turn back, go to the south and dig the road for me!"

"Damn coward, I'm sending you to hell."

"This is the Duke's order, don't blame me."

Heavily armoured Overseers stood in a line on the north side of the gorge, slashing their swords or shooting anyone convicted of "deserters" with their arquebuses. There were so many people killed that no one dared to disobey the order, and the desperate white soldiers could only scatter along both sides of the canyon, trying to avoid the killing opportunities from the front and rear as much as possible. However, they miscalculated, and the officers of the Overseer were very good at shooting, and they stood on a high place, aiming at all those who seemed to want to escape at the bottom of the canyon, harvesting life after life with blazing buckshot.

Stormtooth stood at the head of the fortress and felt incredulous about this.

"These white people are probably crazy! They actually killed their own people? ”

Despite his doubts, Stormtooth saw through the strategic intentions of the opposing commander. The practice of filling the canyon with dead people didn't seem new to Stormtooth, and he was even glad that the other party did.

"Leave their Warlords alone. Hey, hey, hey, we're going to have to cooperate with them and target the guys on both sides of the canyon who want to escape. Pass my order to send more grenades to the logistics warehouse, which will cost a lot by the time the whites attack the city. In addition, the artillery maintained the current intensity and speed of fire suppression, and must not allow the whites to form a group attack on the north side of the canyon. ”

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the kingdom coalition army completely collapsed.

The pressure from the north was too great, and the improvised front of 500,000 Kingdom Guards was shattered. News of a breach was coming everywhere, and there were calls for help everywhere. To make matters worse, many soldiers have reached the critical point of the effect of the Migal potion, they cannot maintain it, and the follow-up troops are in disarray, and there can be no second fate except to be killed.

This is the strategy that Tianhao had formulated long before the war: the first stage of the battle did not need prisoners, and only after breaking through the white battle columns could the propaganda team follow up and take in prisoners of war at the same time.

"Lay down your arms, surrender or kill!"

This short sentence in English quickly spread throughout the battlefield. Some people pronounce it accurately, while others sound more vague. But no matter what, the general meaning is enough to make people understand. The white soldiers were amazed at why their opponents could speak English, and at the same time developed a strong desire to survive. They put down their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground with their hands held high, welcoming the fierce conqueror in fear and anticipation.

Shi Quan led the main force of the lion infantry and the reinforcements that caught up, and strode in front of the kneeling white soldiers. He sneered and brandished his war knife, and without saying anything, he directly cut off the right hand of the nearest white man, watching the man's left hand tightly cover the wound that was broken at the wrist and lying on the ground and rolling and screaming, Shi Quan's heart erupted with infinite sadistic intent, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"Grab them all and send them to the back."

In this battle, he was shot twice by the opponent, but fortunately he missed the vital point, and most of the power of the lead bullet was offset by the shoulder armor. In addition, Shi Quan was stabbed in the left leg with a dagger by a white man, but the wound was not deep, and after a casual bandage, he led the guards to continue the battle.

A few white men had to be killed, and most of the captives had to be sent to the rear to assemble. His Royal Highness, the young Dragon Regent, had already ordered at the coalition meeting held before the war that prisoners should not be tortured and killed on a large scale without permission, and after the battle, merit should be counted according to the number of prisoners of war sent to the rear by each unit and the specific performance in the battle.

Just two hours earlier, five Warlords had been executed on the spot by the Overseers for disobeying this order.

There are three people in the Tiger Clan and two on the Lion Clan's side, both of whom are senior officers with more than 1,000 heads. One of the lion leaders is also the head of 10,000 people, and he is also a member of His Majesty's family of the Lion King. With Shi Quan's understanding of His Majesty the Lion King, this matter will definitely not be solved so easily...... But for now, all the officers were intimidated by the majesty of His Royal Highness the regent of the Dragon Clan, and no one even dared to talk about it in private.

The heavy shieldmen stepped forward again, lined up in a thick and dense wall of shields, covering the steady advance of the regrouped infantry.

In the distance, in the depths of the white man's tent, the first white flag fluttering in the wind finally appeared.

The frightened adjutant trotted into the commander's tent and reported the terrible news to the Duke of Calis.

"Oh...... Bishop Somson surrendered? ”

Calis was not surprised by the news. He sat in his chair, his expression indifferent, slacking up and down, leaning back in his chair, looking at the top of the tent with dull eyes.

He had a premonition about this. The bishop was a devout believer, but not a brave and resolute general. Not to mention surrender, even if Sommsen led his guards into his tent at this moment and cut off his own head as a gift to the Giant King, as an offering to show his heart, Calis would not be surprised at all.

The adjutant was furious, surprised that his emotions and the news he had brought had not affected the Duke in the slightest. That look of indifference and indifference made the Duke look like a puppet. The adjutant did not dare to continue, so he could only maintain a humble standing posture with his hands down. After half a minute, he tentatively asked, "My lord, what should we do?" ”

This is actually a question that Calis is also thinking about.

The casualties were too great.

What's more, the canyon in the north has not been able to break through, and the tactic of "exchanging lives for space" has not worked. Although the second slope was basically formed, the giant defenders of Kamui Fortress were so strong that they kept throwing an explosive weapon from the top of the city, causing their attacking troops to suffer heavy casualties and not be able to advance.

"Raise the white flag and surrender!" The duke quickly made a decision.

The adjutant was taken aback, and his voice suddenly became trembling: "Surrender? My lord...... You, are you really going to do that? ”

"Why not?" Calis spread out his hands, a wry smile on his face: "The Vikings are defeated, and so are the Plantagenets." Savidin took the kingdom of the Lord to the northern giants, and we lost the logistics warehouse of the Dragon Pass. At this point, we had no food, no ammunition, and no time to even regroup our army and fight back...... What options do we have but to surrender? ”

"But......" The adjutant was obviously unwilling, but he could not say a word to refute it. Of course, he knew that the actual situation was even worse than what Calis had just said, but the habitual thinking and arrogance that had been formed over the years made it difficult for him to lower his noble head.

The duke got up from his chair, walked up to the adjutant, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and sighed: "Let's face it! Even if we don't think about the soldiers below, we have to think about ourselves. Only alive has a chance, not to mention that the giant is not the kind of savage and unreasonable monster in the legend. ”

Although the adjutant was not thoroughly explained, he was at least shaken in his heart, but he was a little stubborn: "The giants don't understand our language, and they like to eat people. ”

The Duke of Calis scoffed at these claims: "Who told you this? Think of the kingdom of the Lord, think of that damned traitor of Savitin. How could he negotiate with the giants if there was a language barrier? As for cannibalism, it is even more nonsense. Think of the corpses we found earlier in the canyon, they were long since decomposed. Do you think the giants threw them in the canyon to ferment naturally, and then recycled them to make sausages? Hehe...... Young people, use your brains more. ”

……

When it was dark, the disarmed Duke of Calis was escorted by a group of dragon infantry into Tianhao's tent.

Despite his mental preparations, Calis was shocked by the young man in front of him. Mainly because of age, and secondarily because of appearance. He wears a muslin blouse and trousers of the same material. But no matter the style or cut of the clothes, they look noble and careful, enough to show their identity.

Tianhao sat in his chair and watched the Duke who was escorted in by the guards in the light of the lamp.

Calis bowed respectfully, straightened up, and his grim face showed a bit of obedience and resistance.

"Your head is raised too high, Duke." Tianhao's voice was a little cold, and he saw through the arrogance in the other party's bones that did not admit defeat.

The standard English pronunciation was so clear that Calis's body trembled slightly. He sighed to himself, bowed his head very slowly and heavily, and then raised it again, his rebelliousness gone, replaced by a deep sense of frustration.

"I have no intention of challenging your majesty." Calis's voice sounded a little dejected: "I have been defeated, and I am now a prisoner of your majesty. ”

"You're using the wrong name. Not Your Majesty, but Your Highness. Tianhao corrected the mistake in the other party's words.

The Duke was a little confused, and he felt that there was not much difference between the two, or even no difference.

Tianhao didn't dwell on this issue too much, and asked bluntly: "What do you ask to see me?" ”

Calis wasted no time: "I would like to talk to you about some important issues. ”

"For example?" Tianhao kept staring into Calis's eyes.

"The Kingdom of the Rhine is ready to cooperate with you." Calis bowed as he spoke, and bowed again. He spoke quickly, and it sounded like he couldn't wait: "I know that the Marquis of Savitin and Your Highness have made a deal. What I want to say is that I can give you the same ———— what he gives you, and I can also agree to the conditions he promises you, and I can give more than he promises, or even double it. ”

Tianhao couldn't help laughing, and he looked down at the duke standing in front of him condescendingly: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you know very well the content of the agreement reached between Savidin and this king?" ”

"You can roughly guess some." Calis was quite confident in this, and his eyes became hot: "If I am not mistaken, Your Highness, what you want should be food and cloth. ”

Tianhao didn't answer, and he maintained an incomprehensible faint smile on his face.

"I can give you double, or even triple as much." The silence gave Calis some confidence, and he raised his voice: "If you don't think it's enough, you can talk about the specific terms slowly." ”

"I want gold and silver, especially the former." Tianhao spoke slowly: "How much can you give me?" ”

Calis was somewhat surprised.
