Chapter 500: No Way Back

"Shhh

Although he had already heard this scout say it once just now, now that he heard it again, Lang Lingping still took a breath.

He was able to let Zhao Mao arrange here as the main general to attack Xiyi City, naturally not only because he had to carry out Zhao Mao's secret orders, but more importantly, he himself was not weak enough to take on such a position.

He couldn't be a fool!

There are only two roads from Chijun to Seuiseong, and the Soul Trail passes through the central and outlying parts of the Senjin Mountains, and the cavalry passing through it is looking for death.

The only possible road is this one from Guhe Castle to Seuiseong.

But in Guhe City, there are a large number of elite soldiers of the great general Zhao Mao, and now the enemy's cavalry can come over, and there is no need to think about what happened to Guhe City.

The city must have been broken!

"Is there any news from the general?" asked Lang Lingping again.

A soldier beside him immediately shook his head and said, "There is no news coming. ”

Damn it!

This affirmed the conjecture that Zhao Mao's army was completely annihilated.

"General, what are we going to do now?" asked one of the soldiers in a whisper.

Lang Lingping did not answer.

There are tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Nanyan Kingdom on the road in the rear, and Xiyi City in front, he has been attacking for so long that he can't even hit the city wall, only the strong crossbow suppresses it, and kills a lot of enemy troops.

There is no way to go ahead, and there is no way back to the rear.

He is now leading a large army, which is equivalent to being trapped and dying here.

If he still had 250,000 men under his command now, he would still be able to organize a large army to defend the rear cavalry and delay time, but now, since the last loss, his army has attacked the city several times, and there are less than 150,000 men left.

With such a number of soldiers, in the face of tens of thousands of iron horsemen, he couldn't think of any other result than looking for death.

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Lang Lingping looked at the soldiers under his command and said, "Go and let all the other generals come over and discuss countermeasures." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers sent to invite several other generals and told them all the news.

The first deputy general under Lang Lingping saw Lang Lingping and asked urgently, "General, has the iron cavalry of the Southern Yan Kingdom really arrived?"

Several other lieutenants also looked at Lang Lingping, with questions in their eyes.

Lang Lingping nodded with a gloomy face, and said, "We have no way out, the army under the command of the general is more auspicious, you tell me what to do!"

"This ......"

The generals were all hesitant.

What can I do in such a situation now?

The best thing to do is to surrender!

However, who would dare to be the first to come out and say such a thing as surrender?

Lang Lingping didn't speak, and no one dared to bring it up.

"Why, don't you have any ideas?" asked Lang Lingping in a deep voice.

"General, we listen to you, whatever you say is what you say, we will never have any second words!"

"That's it, General, we're all your people, and whatever you say is what you say. ”

"General, what do you say, we will go down immediately. ”

"Good!"

Lang Lingping immediately nodded and said, "Pass the order, immediately organize the army to arrange a defensive bow and crossbow formation in the rear, and never let the enemy fight over." ”

"On the other hand, we must also guard against the enemy army in Xiyi City from going out of the city to fight, and we must be vigilant!"

"This ......"

One by one, the lieutenants hesitated, they originally thought that Lang Lingping could see the situation clearly and choose to surrender, but they never imagined that Lang Lingping would choose to resist.

Can't he see that his army has no chance of victory now?

"What's the matter? Didn't you just say what Ben was going to say, and now you don't speak?" Lang Lingping had a calm face, looked at the generals under his hands, and shouted: "You don't speak one by one, is it possible that you all have the idea of surrendering in your hearts?"

"Plop. ”

When these generals heard this, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "General, we will never dare to have such an idea. ”

"I'll wait until now to go down and set up the bow and crossbow array, and arrange the defense!"

"Don't go yet!"

These lieutenants did not dare to say anything more and hurried down.

After walking out of the account for a distance, these lieutenant generals looked at me and I looked at you, and after looking at each other a few times, a general said in a deep voice: "What does General Lang mean by such an arrangement? We have no reinforcements, there is no way to go in front, there is no way to retreat in the rear, and the army continues to hold on, isn't it a waste of the lives of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"

"That's it, General Lang's arrangement, I really can't understand it!"

The first deputy general under Lang Lingping groaned slightly, and said, "It may be that General Lang received some news, maybe it was the news from the Bailan Kingdom or the Spirit Sword Sect, or the Jinshui Kingdom that sent reinforcements, so we will continue to persevere." ”

"Come on, it's impossible!"

A general snorted coldly: "If this is the case, why doesn't General Lang tell us directly, let's go down and tell the soldiers, it can also improve the morale of the soldiers, and now if we don't tell us anything, let us arrange the bow and crossbow array and organize the defense, this is nonsense at all!"

"That's it!"

The first lieutenant general cheered and said, "Don't care what the general plans now, what we can do now is to organize the defense according to the general's orders, and if we dare to say more, if the general hears it, we will not be able to eat and walk around!"

When these generals heard this, their faces changed slightly, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

One by one, they went down and hurriedly arranged.

The first lieutenant general walked at the end, and sighed in his heart, General Lang, General Lang, what do you mean by this arrangement? Could it be that you really want to waste our time and soldiers' lives in vain?

It's just that he can't figure it out, and no one will tell him.

Helplessly, he sighed again, and he could only act according to Lang Lingping's arrangement.

In the military tent, after the generals left, Lang Lingping looked at his own soldiers and said, "Did you bring something?"

"General, it's already here. ”

One of the leaders of the pro-soldiers brought out a set of clothes.

This dress is actually the clothes of Lang Lingping's own soldiers.

Lang Lingping looked at the clothes, sighed lightly, and said, "Arrange for all the pro-soldiers to prepare, as soon as the iron cavalry of the Southern Yan Kingdom attacks, we will enter the Senjin Mountain Range, and from there we will find a way to go to the Bailan Kingdom." ”

"Yes!"

The pro-soldiers answered, and immediately went down to inform the rest of the pro-soldiers.

Lang Lingping looked at it and sighed again.

In fact, he knew very well that his hundreds of thousands of people would not be able to stop the enemy's attack at all, and he had no intention of continuing to resist in his heart.

But surrender was not the best option for him.

Because once you surrender, you are likely to be killed, because others will not keep a main general to control the surrendered troops under your command.

Even if he is not killed, he is a prisoner.
