Chapter 488: Decisive Battle (6)
Xie Xun's original plan was to kill the Emperor of the Snow Country, trigger infighting between the two princes of the Snow Country, and create an opportunity for his soldiers to withdraw their troops and return to the city.
When he captured the Snow Emperor alive, he suddenly changed his mind.
Hoping for the infighting between the two princes of the Snow Country is tantamount to handing over their lives to the enemy, which makes Xie Xun very unhappy.
What if the two princes of Snow Country are not stupid and there is no infighting?
After all, the people of the Yun Dynasty are already turtles in the urn!
For the sake of the dignity of the emperor, the Snow Emperor would rather die than order the withdrawal of troops. The two princes are young and ambitious, especially after a game, Xie Xun is sure that the two princes of Snow Country will definitely order the withdrawal of troops in order to save their lives!
"How about it, Prince Migo, whether to withdraw the troops or die, choose one."
The sword in Xie Xun's hand slashed lightly on Prince Migo's neck, and there was no blood, and Migo shuddered and shouted, "Withdraw your troops!" Prince Ben withdraws his troops! Don't kill Prince Ben! ”
Xie Xun nodded with satisfaction, and the tip of the sword pressed against the throat of the second prince Yier, "How about it, does the second prince want to be brave?" ”
Illian shrunk his neck back again and again, "Prince Ben also withdraws his troops. ”
Xie Xun put away his sword and turned his head to look at the gloomy Rahman and the scarlet-eyed Goltai opposite, "What do you mean?" ”
With Gortai's explosive temperament, it is natural to fight, kill all the hateful Yun Dynasty people, and exterminate the clan!
But he still has some sense, not to mention that the second prince is his son-in-law, just the emperor died first, and then the two princes died, he, the commander, when he returns to the snow country, will be branded as an "incompetent general" and be dismissed from office. This is something he cannot afford.
Rahman also had this fear.
The two exchanged glances.
Rahmanle immediately stepped forward, "Marshal Xie, today you won." Our army immediately retreated, I hope you keep your promise and release the two princes, otherwise, even if Gortai and I become sinners in the Snow Country, we will definitely wash the Nine Springs City in blood! ”
Xie Xun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Ben Shuai will do what he says." ”
As soon as Gortai gave the order, the Snow Country soldiers changed their rear army into the front army and quickly withdrew to the camp fifty miles away.
"Don't let go of Prince Ben yet!" Migo writhed with all his might.
Xie Xun waved his hand and ordered, "Release the people." ”
As soon as the clamp was loosened, Migo and Il ran desperately, but they looked back from time to time to look at Xie Xun, for fear that Xie Xun would suddenly strike like his father who had shot them.
"I really want to kill those two bastards!" Tian Qing clenched his fists in annoyance.
But they can't!
If these two bastards die, Gortai and Rahman will capture Nine Springs City no matter what, in order to return to China to give an explanation.
"Have all the soldiers entered the city?" Xie Xun asked.
"Those who are alive have returned to the city."
Those who didn't go back were all dead.
Outside Jiuquan City, within a radius of twenty miles, there were all dead corpses, wearing military uniforms of the same color as Xie Xunshang, like a ghostly ghost.
Xie Xun closed his eyes slightly, a little afraid to look at the corpses.
"What about the King Capture Squad? How many people are still alive? Xie Xun asked.
"Thousands of people went, but only a hundred people came back, General Zeng Qing died, and General Chu Xiao didn't come back......"
"Big mallet!" Xie Xun didn't wait for Tian Qing to finish speaking, the people had already rushed out, stumbling along the route of the king capture team.
While constantly pulling at the corpses on the ground, he shouted, "Chu big mallet!" Chu big mallet! ”
He shouldn't have let Chu Jue join the king capture team, his martial arts are poor, and he is simply sent to death. But in the situation at that time, everyone knew that they were going to die, but they had no regrets, how could he favor one over the other?
Almost pulling up the corpses along the way, Xie Xun became more and more desperate. Suddenly, he heard a faint and inaudible shout, "Brother Xun~"
Xie Xun thought he was hallucinating, and it wasn't until the second sound of "Brother Xun" sounded that he fell up. Seeing that familiar face being pressed under the corpse, he smiled weakly at him, "Brother Xun, I didn't hide under the corpse this time. I fainted first, and the body fell on my body. ”
Xie Xun couldn't control it anymore, and punched over, ", I still thought you were dead!" ”
Chu Jue smiled, "I said that as long as Brother Xun doesn't die, I can live." See, it did. ”
Before Xie Xun could rejoice for the rest of his life after the small catastrophe, his eyes were scarlet and banging with the reported casualties...... A fist slammed into the city gate full of iron nails, until his hands were covered with blood and were forcibly pulled away by Tian Qing.
Of the more than 400,000 soldiers, only 100,000 people came back!
Xie Jiajun died 50,000!
The Shu army lost 100,000 people!
The Gyeonggi Army and the Pei Family Army were almost wiped out!
This number is a pain that Xie Xun can't bear.
Tian Qing's eyes became hollow.
In Jiuquan City, white flags fluttered, and the sound of crying continued day and night.
Walking through the white flags, Xie Xun felt like a sinner, and he didn't even dare to look up at the people along the street.
"Get out of here!"
Ahead, a woman's angry shouts rang out, with despair.
"No one is allowed to touch my father! My father is not dead, you are not allowed to burn my father! ”
"Marshal, this Miss Si has been holding the corpse of the commander of the division and refuses to let go. We're also struggling. The soldier in charge of the aftermath was full of grievances.
After returning to the city, Xie Xun immediately sent people to the south and north ambush sites, bringing back the news that the two armies had already evacuated and several corpses.
Among them, the most tragic shape is Si Kou, which is almost comparable to being divided by five horses.
Such a miserable death, Si Wenjing fainted after just one look. After waking up, he ran to the morgue square, hugged the corpse and refused to let go, and kept shouting, "My father is not dead!" My father hasn't seen me get married yet, how can I die? As soon as someone approached, she waved her hand and whipped it over. The soldier who was in charge of the funeral on the ground had his skin open, and he could only go to Xie Xun.
There were too many corpses, and although the weather was cold enough, Xie Xun was still afraid that allowing the corpses of hundreds of thousands of people to decompose would cause a plague. In addition, he has no confidence that he can win this war, and if he loses, the enemy will definitely not treat these corpses well. Rather than being humiliated by the enemy, it is better to let them be buried in the ground as soon as possible and preserve their last dignity.
Xie Xun sat down beside Si Wenjing and stopped her shoulder, "Si Kou spoils your daughter so much, I definitely don't want to see you grieve so much......"
Halfway through the words, Si Wenjing let out a howl, threw herself into Xie Xun's arms, buried her face in Xie Xun's shoulder, and cried loudly, "Why? Why did they kill my dad! My dad has been devoted to the royal family all his life, why? Why! ”
Xie Xun secretly sneered: It's just foolish loyalty, what can it do?
The royal family of the Yun Dynasty has rotted to the point of hopelessness from the roots, and the more loyal they are, the more they will not be able to die well!
Xie Xun didn't speak, only quietly listened to the cry of the person in his arms, why did their father and daughter, who had been loyal to the royal family for half their lives, betray them?
Si Wenjing cried until she almost lost her breath, and then she raised her head from Xie Xun's arms, but she pulled out a dagger and wiped it off her slender neck.
"What are you doing?" Xie Xun snatched the dagger and scolded him sharply, "Did your father work so hard to raise you just to let you wipe your neck?" ”
Si Wenjing's two beautiful big eyes blinked sluggishly, "Otherwise, what else can I do?" ”
The only relative is gone, and more than ten years of faith have collapsed, how can she still live?
"Revenge! As a daughter, if you don't kill your father's enemy, are you embarrassed to die? ”
Si Wenjing was messy, "Revenge? Looking for revenge on the prince? He's a royal ......"
