Let all soldiers block all roads around the forest.
This does not require many people. Just roughly guard the road exit. If someone breaks through, just shout and people at other intersections will come to help.
What General Lin had to do was even simpler, which was to set fire.
Didn't Lin Jiuxi and the others hide in the forest and refuse to come out? But as long as the fire was set, the thick smoke would choke people. Wouldn't they have no choice but to come out, except to let themselves be burned to death? Of course, coming out would also mean death.
General Lin added maliciously.
The strategist is a cruel person, but he does have some abilities.
The east wind arrived as promised.
"Boss, this won't work. This won't work. How can we abandon the boss? Once you are the boss, you will be the boss for life!" Zhang Yi was the first to jump out and object.

However, the emergency was not the time to be sad and depressed. Lin Jiuxi slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk so much. Since you recognize me as your boss, I told you to save your strength first. Come back to save me later. Why don't you listen?"
General Lin looked at the growing fire and felt very proud. He could even hear the screams of those burning in the fire.
"The princess wants you to break out first. They have surrounded this mountain, can they surround other mountains as well? With your abilities, it shouldn't be a difficult task to stay on the mountain for some time, right?" Fan Wuyou saw Lin Jiuxi's dilemma and offered to help.
"Boss, what do you want to do?" Some smart ones seemed to have realized something.
"Yes, boss, we will do whatever you say. You gave me this life, even if you tell me to die now, I will follow you."
The others couldn't understand what they were saying, so they asked directly: "What does Mr. Lin mean? Boss, what do you think? Just tell me first."
"Oh, so that's what the boss is planning. Fine, then I'll take the brothers with me, no, I'll go with the brothers and follow Mr. Lin." Zhang Yi said naively, "But boss, you must be well. You must wait for me to pick you up!"
Lin Jiuxi smiled bitterly, "I will go out and surrender. It's totally worth exchanging me for more than 9,000 of your people."
Now the screams of these thousands of people were like hell. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he had to ask General Lin for help.
Lin Jiuxi saw the thick smoke billowing up and thought something was wrong.
Lin Jiuxi swallowed his saliva and made up his mind, "You go first and follow Mr. Lin. He will definitely find a way to take care of you. As for the others, I will find a way."
"But what about the others? It's easy for us to escape, but what about Aunt Zhu and the others? They are old and may not be able to run away. Besides, there are so many of them..." The young man looked at Lin Jiuxi with burning eyes.
"But these are human lives, they are all the people of our Nanzhao Kingdom. I beg the general to take back his order!" They may not have volunteered to join the army, but as soldiers of Nanzhao Kingdom, they killed the enemy on the battlefield to protect the people of Nanzhao Kingdom. Instead of setting fire to the mountains and slaughtering their own people like they are doing now.
Fan Wuyou was waving a fan and following Cai Cai as usual, seeming to be out of tune with the anxious state of Lin Jiuxi and the others.
"Many people have already rushed down and want to surrender, but..." But the soldiers guarding the intersection had received General Lin's order. Unless it was Lin Jiuxi, anyone else who dared to go down the mountain would be killed without mercy.
Halfway up the mountain, they could already hear the crackling sound of fire burning in the woods, and the wind brought with it heat waves that hit their faces.
They were all well-trained people with high physical fitness and crossbows in their hands. It would not be difficult for them to break out, but the problem was, what about the people besides them?
Lin Jiuxi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.
General Lin snorted coldly, "Did anyone put a knife to their necks and force them to join the bandits? They themselves are not good citizens. If you become a bandit, you should have the consciousness of being a bandit. Isn't it normal to be killed? You are really meddling too much."
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the fire grew stronger and stronger.
"Boss, what should we do?"
The sound was rather harsh, and could not be compared to the music of stringed instruments. But General Lin felt happy when he heard it, as if it were the sound of victory drums. He seemed to see the scene of his triumphant return through this fiery red.
General Lin laughed and ordered his men to throw torches into the forest. With the help of the wind, sparks flew everywhere, and the fire burned faster and faster, covering a wider range.
Lin Jiuxi was touched. Zhang Yi, this big silly guy, usually looked like a naughty kid, but sometimes he was really heartwarming.
"Yes, I just saw that there are people guarding several intersections. What should we do?"
He had not really approved of General Lin's killings before, but at that time, there were still few people, so he just avoided watching.
"Surrender? Are they willing to surrender?" General Lin said coldly.
"He wants to kill us directly!"
"General, we are here to recapture the bandits, not to kill people. They are all civilians, as long as they surrender, why should we kill them all?" The deputy general half-knelt on the ground, begging General Lin to take back his order.
However, his deputy general could not understand this kind of enjoyment and even wanted to stop it.
What about the eight or nine thousand ordinary people? They are unarmed, how can they beat those soldiers and escape? Lin Jiuxi had a gloomy face, not knowing how to choose.
"Princess, you already have an idea in your mind. Just do it the way you want to do most." Fan Wuyou said calmly.
She seemed to hear some screaming in a trance.
"Of course. My surrender now is just a temporary measure." Lin Jiuxi forced a smile, "I said that I will definitely protect this place with you and will not give up on anyone. This is our home, and we are all protecting it."
General Lin not only ignored it, but kicked the deputy general in the chest.
"Since you are suspected of collaborating with the bandits, let's kill you all."
The deputy general did not expect that General Lin would be so crazy that he would kill his own people so easily.
He stood up without any hesitation and ran towards the forest, but a knife chopped him from behind and he fell to the ground with a thud.
At the moment he fell to the ground, he saw the woman, whose appearance was miserable and who was burned by fire, coming out with a white flag in surrender.
