Chapter 908 Li Cunyong's voice shook the entire valley.
As Li Cunxiao felt the pain in his wound, a chaotic commotion arose ahead, revealing that the Persian people were already in a state of panic. Shouts erupted from the crowd at some point.
"Something terrible has happened! Our invincible Persian prince has been killed by the enemy."
"Retreat, retreat! If we don't retreat now, death awaits us. We can't follow the example of our prince."
"Impossible! Our prince is invincible and undefeated. How could he be so easily killed? It must be a rumor."
"His Highness has led us to victory after victory. How could he be so easily killed? What kind of talk is that? His Highness is invincible. His Highness is a god descended from heaven."
"Looking at the whole world, who is our prince's match? Our prince can kill the other party with ease."
"Don't spread these rumors that are sowing discord among the troops. When has our prince ever been so easily killed? We can't even count how many battles our prince has led us to victory over the years."
"Retreat quickly! Our prince has indeed been killed. His head has been cut off. These soldiers from the Eastern Emperor are extremely brave in battle. We are no match for them at all."
"If we don't retreat now, all that awaits us is death. If you want to die, then go ahead and die."
These people kept retreating, and just then, they heard shouts coming from behind them.
Huo Qubing's troops had already rushed out of the military camp, heading straight for the mountain roads through which the Persian Empire had retreated.
Hearing bursts of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing behind them, everyone panicked. They fled haphazardly along the narrow mountain path.
Even though they knew that retreating on the spot was not an easy task, faced with the threat of death, they had no choice but to retreat along the same route without hesitation.
"Get the hell out of here! If you don't want to die, get out of here. If you don't want to die, you can stay here and wait. Nobody will die with you, you bastards. Did you all understand?"
"That's right, if you don't want to die, then wait here. In short, I'm not going to stay here any longer."
"Anyone who blocks my convoy's path, I'll chop them up! Don't you dare back down now! You bunch of ignorant bastards!"
The warriors of the Persian Empire were in disarray at this point. Some were still loyal to the Persian prince and wanted to continue charging forward, but the vast majority had already broken down. All they wanted to do at this moment was get out of there as quickly as possible.
After all, the raging flames and deafening explosions had terrified them, and they knew that continuing forward was the only way out.
Now, apart from a few die-hard followers of the Persian prince, no one wants to go any further. They can't wait to leave this place, which is like hell on earth to them, and they don't want to stay a minute longer.
However, when these people rushed to the intersection, they suddenly discovered a person standing on the mountain road, holding a strange weapon in his hand.
Not only that, this person was riding a tall horse.
"Our escape route has been cut off."
"Damn it, there's no way we can escape. These people are driving us to our deaths. I never imagined these bastards could be so despicable. Why are they treating us like this?"
"We've been attacked from both sides. We're destined to die here tonight. We have over 100,000 men. Are we really going to die tonight?"
"The enemy's fighting strength is really too strong. They probably already expected that we would enter the city along the mountain road today. Not only did we fail to take this quicksand city, but we also lost so many men on the front line."
"Now, for us, there is only one way out: surrender. There is no other way. We hope they can let us go. We don't want to fight them at all. We just want to surrender."
The fighting spirit of these Persian soldiers had long been shattered; how could they dare to continue fighting? Staying here meant certain death. At this moment, all they wanted was to leave; not one of them wanted to continue fighting.
Many people jumped off the camels, knelt deeply on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly to Li Cunxiao.
"Spare our lives! We know we were wrong. We dare not stay here any longer. Please, let us go. We just want to get out of here as soon as possible."
"If you spare us, I'll tell you where the city's biggest treasure trove is hidden. We're carrying some gold and silver with us. All we want is for you to let us go. We'll give you all of it."
“At this moment, we don’t want to stay here any longer. We just want to leave as soon as possible. We have no reason to continue opposing you. If you can be merciful and let us go, that would be the best thing for us.”
More and more people jumped off the camels, kowtowing repeatedly to Li Cunxiao. At this moment, the fighting spirit of these Persian soldiers had been completely shattered. They saw Li Cunxiao alone and assumed there must be an ambush nearby; otherwise, Li Cunxiao alone would not have dared to stand in their way.
Looking at these people in front of him, kowtowing repeatedly, Li Cunxiao found it both funny and ridiculous. These bastards were so spineless! If the Indians saw him alone, they would have risked everything to fight him.
But these people were even worse than the Indians; they realized that they had nothing else to do besides the fall recruitment season.
“All of you, stand up! You dogs, don’t you even have the guts to fight me alone? You people of the Persian Empire don’t deserve to live in this world.”
Li Cunxiao roared at the kneeling Persian people, his voice shaking the entire valley. Everyone felt it. The sound was deafening, and they all looked at Li Cunxiao, trembling all over.
