Chapter 86 Let’s Surrender

When the soldiers in Mobei learned that the Yue Kingdom’s army was attacking them, they immediately became panic-stricken.

Under Rana's leadership, the soldiers who participated in the fire-fighting and those who did not took a short break and gathered at the gate of the military camp.

All the water in the Mobei military camp was used to put out the fire. The soldiers were all standing in the ranks covered in dust and dirt, which was quite funny.

Among them, more people had their throats hurt by the thick smoke and they couldn't even drink a sip of clean water.

The wind blew and the red flag was torn. A strong wind swept across the desert, leaving corpses of soldiers from the Mobei Kingdom scattered all over the ground, including many bodies of soldiers from the Yue Kingdom.

The bloody smell permeated the deadly ruins.

The Yue Kingdom soldiers pressed forward step by step, forcing the remaining Mobei soldiers into the Mobei border city.

This retreat was hasty, and the Mobei soldiers had no time to bring more long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. The bows and arrows they had were already used up in the previous battle.

Even the food and grass in the city were hastily sorted out by a team when they learned that the Moon Kingdom was attacking, and the few remaining food and grass that had been burned were escorted into the city.

Now, with only these food supplies, I don’t know how long I can last.

Chen Yu rode on a tall horse, looking at the closed city gate with a stern look.

Deputy General Wang, holding a sharp sword, rode forward and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of Mobei, as long as you surrender, we promise not to kill you. Our army promises that after entering the city, we will not kill the elderly, the weak, women and children, and will not burn, kill or plunder!"

On the city wall, without Chatur, Rana became the backbone. He looked solemnly at the huge enemy army below the city.

At dawn, the battle lasted for such a long time.

"Rana, what should we do now?" Dark red bloodstains were scattered on Bumble's cheeks. He swallowed and his face looked unsightly.

In this night battle, there were originally five lieutenant generals, but now only he and Lana are left.

Bumble held the blood-stained machete tightly in his hand, as if he would rush out to fight at any time as long as Lana said to fight hard.

"Wait." Even though Lana tried to remain calm, his trembling voice still exposed his helplessness at the moment.

Bumble turned sideways in disbelief, "Wait? How can we wait? The food in the city is not enough for us to wait!" He reached out and grabbed Lana's collar in frustration.

Lana, of course, was not to be outdone, and slapped his own Bumble's hand away. At the same time, he grabbed Bumble's collar, pulled him back, and put his elbow under his chin.

Bumble was pinned against the pillar and could not move.

"How to wait? Of course, we have to wait for the order from the Imperial City. Whether to fight or make peace is just a matter of one word from above."

Upon hearing this, Bumble no longer had the strength to hold his machete tightly, and the machete fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"What if I can't wait?" Bumble closed his eyes resignedly and said the most desperate words unwillingly.

They knew the situation in Mobei very well, and they were afraid that the reinforcements would not be able to arrive in time...

Lana pushed Bumble back, loosened his hand, and turned his back to look at Lieutenant General Wang who was shouting at the bottom of the city wall.

"If you can't wait, it's all up to you. If you want to fight, you can just gather together, open the city gate and rush out. It can also be considered as sacrificing your life for the country."

This was what Lana least wanted to see. By that time, the entire army would probably no longer have the strength to resist, and would be doomed if they left the city gate.

"If you want to save yourself, you can just lay down your weapons and surrender when the Yue Kingdom generals rush into the city. You will just live with the infamy for the rest of your life. We have fought with Shen Yu several times before, and he is a man of his words."

The two men did not shy away from talking to the Mobei soldiers around them, and everyone around them had indescribable expressions on their faces.

"I won't give up!" Bumble fell to the ground in despair.

Lana punched the city wall, "Am I willing to give in?"

No one knew that overnight, their military camp was infiltrated by the Yue people, who burned their food supplies and killed their commander. They lost their military morale and backup support, and were left isolated and helpless.

Lana made the final decision with great difficulty, "If we still don't get reinforcements after waiting for two days, we will surrender."

They have fought hard, but the result is not what they expected. In this case, they can only resort to this last resort.

All the enthusiasm was finally dampened by the tragic ending.

"General!" The soldiers beside him all knelt on one knee and said sadly.

"It's our incompetence that prevents us from becoming marquises and generals!" Lana looked sad. If he could survive on the battlefield, he would naturally hope to have made some achievements. "Saving everyone's lives and allowing you to return home safely is the last thing we can do for the generals of the entire army!"

Behind him are tens of millions of Mobei soldiers and tens of millions of families within the Mobei territory. He doesn't want... he doesn't want his entire army to be wiped out!

Deputy General Wang waited for a long time for news from the city, so he pulled back the reins on the horse's mouth. He naturally knew that the Mobei Kingdom would not surrender so quickly. He was just offering his own conditions to the Mobei Kingdom first.

Ma walked leisurely towards the Moon Kingdom army.

The Yue Kingdom has made sufficient preparations for this battle and can definitely fight off the Mobei soldiers in this border city.

They retreated to a certain distance so that they could clearly observe the situation at the city gate and ensure that they would not be ambushed by the Mobei Kingdom, and set up camp on the spot.

Two days later, just as everyone expected, the reinforcements from Mobei did not arrive at all.

It was not as described in historical books of past dynasties, that the generals fought bloody battles to defend the city gates, all their men sacrificed their lives, and the city was full of heroes.

Lana gave an order and opened the city gate to welcome the soldiers of the Moon Kingdom.

Lana walked out of the city gate and met Chen Yu and his group.

"General Shen, I hope you can do as you said and spare the people of this city behind me and spare the soldiers in my army."

On the battlefield, Lana called Shen Yu "General" instead of "Prince", which showed his admiration for his ability.

"nature!"

"The letter of surrender from Mobei may be delivered soon. General Shen, please wait patiently." After saying this, he stepped aside to make way.

Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "You are a smart man. Don't worry, we are just masters. As long as you behave yourself, we will definitely not make things difficult for you."

After saying that, Chen Yu led enough people into the city, while the main army was still waiting outside the city gate. A team of people quickly ran up to the city wall, took down the original Mobei flag on the city wall and threw it on the ground, and then took out the prepared Yue Kingdom flag and replaced it.

Changing the flag naturally meant that the city was occupied by the Moon Kingdom.

In order to prevent a counterattack from the Mobei Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom confined all the remaining soldiers of Mobei in one place and kept them under strict guard.

Lana walked slowly up the city wall, picked up the trampled Mobei flag on the ground, shook off the dust on it, and hid it carefully against his chest. He stood on a high place and looked into the distance. This was probably the last time he would stand here and look at the scenery of the Mobei border.
