Chapter Ninety-One: Surrender

"Why is this happening? What kind of monsters are they?"

Watching his army fall like wheat, Xiao Xuance felt a chill in his heart, he knew why the other party dismounted, it turned out that they were just trying to reduce the loss of horses.

It is reasonable to use the loss of horses to reduce the losses of the army, but what if the army does not suffer casualties at all?

From the perspective of the fighting soldiers, it is a different feeling, as long as the other party swings the knife, his own people have obviously blocked it, but they are still dead, and there is no room for resistance and struggle, such a strange scene has destroyed all their courage.

Even if the other party kills all the way with a devastating attitude, they will not be so afraid, after all, the number of people is here, and their blood can make up for the fear of facing the strong, but what if they will die as long as they enter the opponent's attack range?

A soldier in the back row began to retreat, he wanted to escape, at this time, his abnormal behavior was seen by his comrades next to him, his body stiffened, he knew what the crime of desertion was, and fear spread in his heart.

"Do you want to silence it? No, there are so many brothers around, and this kind of movement is too big. The dark thought only existed in his heart for a moment, and then it was extinguished.

You can only pretend that nothing has happened, hoping that it will not be reported. The soldier stopped retreating, and was about to step forward, when his pupils suddenly shrank, and he found that his teammates' eyes were full of fear like him, and his body seemed to want to retreat.

He turned his stiff neck and looked around, seeing that fear had enveloped the entire army. The only reason they're still alive is because the other person slows down when they kill and hasn't killed them yet.

"On the other side are Dan Dao, we are sending us to death!"

I don't know who shouted, it was like a little fire on the dry grass, instantly igniting the fear in everyone's hearts.

"Run away, there are Dan Dao on the other side, and we will go up to die!"

"Lao Tzu is here to fight, not to die!"

"Run! Running slow is a dead end!"

The left wing of the Xiao family, collapse!

"Don't run, those who violate the order die!"

"Escapees, court-martial!"

Some commanders instinctively wanted to stabilize the situation, but under the blade of the patrol guards, some were just endless chaos, and even some commanders saw that the situation was not good and took the lead in escaping.

This was a one-sided slaughter, the forest patrol guards harvested a large area of life along the way, and the team led by Ling Yi even killed a few pairs of the opponent's already scattered formation, even the combination of the Dan Dao powerhouses was killed by them.

On long journeys, people are not as fast as horses, but in short encounters, people are faster than horses, but without the condescending advantage.

However, this strengthened their determination to escape, if they escaped, there was still hope to live, and if they fought, there was only a dead end.

"This is our Xiao family's army?" Xiao Xuance felt sad in his heart, this is the army he has worked so hard to cultivate? This is the elite of their Xiao family?

It turned out that the so-called battle-hardened iron-blooded army was just a joke, and in the face of absolute overwhelming superiority, no matter how powerful people would collapse.

His ideal army is forbidden by order, even in the face of no matter how powerful the enemy is, he has also imagined that the army of the Nine Underworld Regions is an imaginary enemy, even if it is five for one, it is not a failure, but he can see that the opposite side is not an army composed of Dan Dao at all, and three thousand Qi Dao can kill them with fifteen thousand left wings.

Even if it is certain to die, as long as you exchange injuries for injuries, can't you achieve the same effect? Why don't you have the determination to die? Xiao Xuance was very sad in his heart, but he didn't think that if he stood in the same position, would he still have the determination to die.

"Patriarch Xiao, our morale has collapsed and we are ready to retreat. At this time, the powerhouses of the Void Realm who had gone deep into the front line to assassinate had returned to Xiao Xuance's side.

"That's right, I didn't expect that the other party actually had a Saint Realm powerhouse, and the information was wrong. ”

"The ancestor of the Leng family hasn't made a move yet, I didn't expect the other party to have a second holy realm, we don't want to face the holy realm. ”

"That's right, we don't have to stay and die unless that guy makes a move. ”

"If you retreat now, you can still retain some vitality, if you don't retreat, the Xiao family's vitality will be exhausted here!"

The Speculators shirked their responsibilities and blamed the intelligence services for all the blame, and finally reached a unanimous conclusion: retire.

We haven't lost yet! We still have so many men! As long as we regain our strength, we still have the strength to fight! Do you know how many men these troops will lose if they retreat rashly?

Xiao Xuance roared in his heart, but he still didn't say it after all, he knew that what they were worried about was not the victory or defeat of the war and the vitality of the Xiao family's army, what they were worried about was the existence of the Holy Realm, let's call it the Holy Realm, in the face of the Holy Realm, it was normal for them to die half of them, and they died in vain, even if they fought a large number of elites, it was impossible to leave the Holy Realm.

Moreover, are those so-called elites really willing to face the Holy Realm with them? Xiao Xuance himself has no confidence.

"Whole army, retreat!"

After issuing the final order, Xiao Xuance almost drained all his strength, and those virtual realms heard the order, and immediately commanded a part of the army to retreat, after all, if you want to escape, you also need a shield.

"Big brother, what are you waiting for? Why don't you leave?" Xiao Xuanyan shouted anxiously when he saw that the eldest brother hadn't left yet.

Xiao Xuance said: "The other party has a suspicion of the existence of the Holy Realm, and he has calculated to ambush us here, if they don't achieve certain results, they won't stop, and a Xiao family patriarch should be enough to satisfy them." ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about!You are the patriarch of the Xiao family, no one can die because of you!" Xiao Xuanyan said uneasily.

Xiao Xuance smiled bitterly: "Is there anyone other than me who is willing to cover the retreat of the army?"

Seeing that Xiao Xuanyan still wanted to say something, Xiao Xuance waved his hand and said, "You can go too! Remember what I said to you before the war!"

Xiao Xuanyan's eyes were red, and he left without saying a word.

"Those people have all run away, are you still staying here, are you covering for them?" Ling Xiyue's voice reached Xiao Xuance's ears.

Xiao Xuance shook his head and said, "I'm not covering for them, but surrendering." ”

As he spoke, he floated in the air, and then made a gesture, and the surrounding soldiers knelt down to Ling Xiyue one after another.

Ling Xiyue was a little dumbfounded, after all, she had experienced too few wars, she didn't expect the situation to develop in this direction, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Xiao Xuance, the patriarch of the Xiao family, swore allegiance to Ling Xiyue, the eldest lady of Hengyang City. Xiao Xuance landed on the ground from the air, and then knelt down to Ling Xiyue.

If at this time, he still couldn't recognize the identity of Ling Xiyue and this army, then he wouldn't have the brains to continue to be the head of the Xiao family.

"Xiyue, don't be stunned, quickly show the queen's bearing!" Jiang Ming's voice gathered into a number of tones and passed into Ling Xiyue's mind.

"Oh!"

Ling Xiyue reacted quickly, she looked around, and found that except for those who had escaped, the rest had either been killed by the forest rangers, leaving a corpse on the ground, or they had put down their weapons and knelt on the ground. In less than a stick of incense, the war was over.

In a sense, Xiao Xuance's cover can be regarded as a success, at least when receiving the surrendered troops, the forest patrol guards will not be able to continue to chase and kill those who escape.

"The forest patrol guards obeyed the order and confiscated all weapons. Ling ordered.

The forest patrol guards received the weapons, while Ling Xiyue accepted Xiao Xuance's surrender: "You said that you are the head of the Xiao family, so after you surrender, the entire Xiao family will be mine?"

Xiao Xuance faintly felt that something was wrong, this dialogue seemed to be a little different from what he had conceived in his mind, but he still replied honestly: "I was the patriarch of the Xiao family before, but after surrendering, I can only be Xiao Xuance, the Xiao family will not let a person who surrenders to the enemy army continue to be the patriarch, and will not even admit my former identity as the patriarch." ”

Ling Xiyue nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, you are useless now, right?"

Xiao Xuance's sweat rained down.
