Chapter 489: Gule surrenders

The Department of the Bone Leg.

Twenty minutes had passed since the wolf smoke was lit, but there was still not a single reinforcement coming.

In twenty minutes, there were less than a thousand men left in the Gule Division, and they were compressed into a land less than two miles before and after.

If you have good eyesight, you can see the black rider on the opposite side.

Reinforcements had not yet arrived, and Gule began to despair.

His soldiers also showed despair.

If there are reinforcements, even if there are a thousand people left, they can still have a strong combat power, which is the fighting power for survival.

But now, with no hope in sight, where do you give them the courage to fight?

Surrender?

After hesitating in his heart, Gule vetoed the idea.

From the rise of Western Xia to the battle, it has been decades old. But no matter what kind of enemy he faced, there had never been a general in the Western Xia army, and Gule didn't want to be the first person.

If he really did this, then how could his family who stayed in Western Xia be embarrassed?

Although according to the rules of the Tangut people, after his death, his wife will become someone else's wife, and his children will call others father, but it is always better, because because of his surrender, his wife and children will be executed.

"If we can't surrender, then kill, even if we die, let these Song people know that we are terrible." Gule, who seemed to have made up his mind, just wanted to stand up and cheer up the soldiers. And at this time, in front of them, in the direction of Tuhezhai, a large number of Song horses appeared.

From a distance, it is completely endless, and it is roughly estimated that the number of people is at least 10,000 kilometers away.

There are so many Song horses?

Looking at this scene, Gule was a little desperate, and his soldiers were also desperate.

It was the 15,000 reserve forbidden army led by Xu Ba.

Although it is not yet the time to clean up the battlefield, but now that the battle has been fought, the Western Xia cavalry has no possibility of turning the tables at all, that is, it is time for them to come out and feel the cruelty of the war.

As soon as the 15,000 reserve forbidden army appeared, many people's faces turned pale.

Right in front of them, the original yellow earth turned red, stained with the blood of the people who died in battle.

Stumps and severed arms can be seen everywhere, and swords, guns, and shields are thrown all over the ground.

Where is this battlefield, this is simply purgatory on earth.

These people were all called by Yang Wenguang, he just wanted his comrades to see the cruelty of the battlefield, everyone was a member of the reserve forbidden army before, and now some of them have performed well, and they have been promoted and joined the vanguard army. But many more remained in the reserve army, pretending to be ostriches, and acting as shrunken turtles.

It seems that if they don't think about it, the war won't happen, and they won't die.

Yang Wenguang called them over, first, he didn't want everyone's gap to be too big, and he was also a fellow party anyway.

The second is to let them see the real battlefield of the Great War, and tell them that when the war comes, no one can leave it out of the way, and if they want to live, they can only fight.

And when these reserve forbidden troops appeared, they were first frightened by the tragedy of the battlefield, and then some people had a solemn meaning on their expressions, Yang Wenguang was very happy to see this scene, this is someone pondering, this is a good phenomenon.

As long as people think carefully, they will know what they should do next and how to make the right choice.

But Yang Wenguang didn't let them think for too long, some people knew what choice they should make when they saw this shocking scene, and some people didn't make a choice after watching it for a lifetime.

Without time for everyone to ponder, Yang Wenguang opened his mouth and shouted to the thousands of Western Xia troops who were besieged: "Your general knows that we are surrounding you here, and has already chosen to escape. There will be no reinforcements to help you now, and your only option now is to surrender. ”

"Only by surrendering can you get a life."

"Only when people live can there be hope for everything."

"I can guarantee that as long as you surrender, we will not kill you or abuse you, but will send you to the capital of our Great Song Dynasty, and then our emperor will decide your life and death."

"Actually, our emperor is very merciful, most likely they will send you back to Western Xia, and then you will still have the opportunity to reunite with your relatives."

"It's also the best option. And you have done your best, but you have been abandoned by others, not by your own incompetence. ”

Yang Wenguang's voice of persuasion sounded again and again, falling into the ears of Gu Le and the others.

The Western Xia cavalry, who originally had the heart to fight to the death, heard these words at this moment, and some people couldn't help but show emotion on their faces.

"Of course, you can continue to fight without surrendering, but with all due respect, there is no point in doing so. You should be able to see that there are only a thousand of you left, but on our side, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, and one of us will release an arrow, may I ask, how many of you still have to live? ”

"Resistance will die, there is still hope for surrender, where to go, you choose for yourself. Give you twenty breaths now, and if you don't lay down your arms, we'll be using bows and arrows against you, and I can guarantee you that you won't have a chance to rush before us. ”

Yang Wenguang spoke again, and after adding a statute of limitations, he began to shout loudly, "One! ”

"Two!"

"Three!"

The shouting continued, and here in the Western Xia cavalry, everyone's eyes were on General Gule.

Although some people did not speak, there was only one meaning in their eyes, that is, they did not want to die.

They still want to live, although it will be humiliating, but as Yang Wenguang said, there is hope in life.

Moreover, the Song army had promised them that as long as they surrendered, they would not be killed or abused, but they would only be sent to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

I heard that Bianliang is very large and prosperous.

I heard that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was Renzong, a virtuous and benevolent person, maybe they could really live and return to Western Xia alive.

When everyone's eyes fell on Gule, the heart that was originally fighting to the death quickly became shaken.

Why did he want to die, he was just worried that if he surrendered, the news would return to Western Xia, and his family would be implicated.

If he surrenders, he may also be humiliated by the Song army, if so, it is better to die.

But now, the Song general said that he would not abuse them, and he would send them to Bianliang City, no matter how he said that he was also a middle-level general of Western Xia, he had heard people say what kind of person the emperor of the Song Dynasty was, and it seemed that he was really benevolent.

If this is the case, he may really be able to live, and there will really be a day when he will be sent back to Western Xia. If so, he still has the moment to see his loved ones.

This is hope, which makes Gu Le's mood change at this moment.

"General, surrender, it's not that we don't fight to the death, but that we have been abandoned, and we have become outcasts, so then we should save ourselves." In the team, a young general of Western Xia opened his mouth and said everyone's thoughts.

Someone took the lead, and the other Western Xia soldiers hurriedly spoke, "General, surrender." We have fought until now, and there is no shame in surrendering. It's the shame that Liang De, he didn't rescue us, it's his fault, not ours. ”

"General, I don't want to die, surrender."

"Yes, General, I'm still young, I haven't even touched a woman, I don't want to die."

One by one, the Western Xia cavalry opened their mouths and looked at Gule, with a pleading look on their faces.

"General, whether you fight or surrender, we listen to you. When you talk about war, it's nothing more than death, and we take the lead. If you say surrender, then we will throw away our weapons and surrender. Several soldiers who were closer to Gule also voiced their attitudes.

These are Gule's henchmen, and they have put the power of life and death in the hands of the general at this moment.

The more he trusts himself like this, the more Gu Le doesn't want to watch everyone die, because in this way, even if he dies, he will be sorry for everyone.

At this time, Yang Wenguang was still counting, "Seventeen." ”

"Eighteen."

At this time, the Western Xia army had not yet made a choice, and Feng Yidao and the others had already prepared eight consecutive shots, ready to shoot the enemy with a bow at any time.

"Don't count, we have descended, but I hope you can keep your promises, you can't kill us, you can't abuse us."

Finally, when the number reached eighteen, Gule made a choice, and threw the saber in his hand to the ground with a clatter, and his eyes became blank.

For a titanic general, choosing to surrender is no better than choosing to die, and it is even more difficult to make a decision.

"Rest assured, we do what we say." Seeing that the Western Xia cavalry had indeed surrendered, Yang Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xu Ba beside him and said: "General Xu, the next thing is left to you, don't worry, we will watch from the sidelines, if they dare to play any tricks, we will kill them all." ”

"Okay." Xu Ba nodded heavily, then looked back at the people behind him and said, "It's time for us to clean up the battlefield, follow me." ”

As he spoke, Xu Ba was the first to take the lead and walked out, and behind him, many people walked out one after another. But even so, there were still about 5,000 reserve forbidden troops who stayed in place and did not move.

They just threw away their weapons and were not bound. What if they wait until they have passed, and then they suddenly pick up their weapons and start a war with themselves?

Didn't you say you might die?

That being the case, why take this risk, isn't it good to stay behind?

The overall situation of the battlefield is decided, but there are still people who are worried about this, afraid of that, and unwilling to go to the battlefield, Yang Wenguang looked at the five thousand people left behind, and he knew that these people were not saved.

Continuing to stay, in addition to wasting food and disturbing the morale of the army, even if so, it is better to let them leave.

It just so happened that Gule and they surrendered, and someone needed to send them back to Bianliang City, so it would be better to hand it over to these people.

Although in this way, on the battlefield, the available troops seem to be less than 5,000, but even if these people stay, can they really work?

Yang Wenguang shook his head, completely gave up on these people, and turned his eyes to the 10,000 reserve forbidden troops who went to the battlefield, these people are still saved, and they can be fought for.

Some people died, but not completely......
