A member of the commando team, wielding a large knife, blocked the retreat route of the frontline soldiers.
Seeing the fleeing soldiers return, several members of the supervisory team immediately attacked and killed several of them.
However, this did not deter the fleeing soldiers.
The fleeing soldiers at the front lines swarmed in greater numbers and soon broke through the supervisory team's lines. In some places, the fleeing soldiers even killed the supervisory team members.
The defeat was completely unstoppable.
However, even though these defeated soldiers escaped from the front lines, they still stayed in the vicinity of Liucheng Town.
Meanwhile, Prince Xin's army continued to block their retreat. Cannonballs continued to rain down on them from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The situation on the battlefield remains unchanged.
When the news reached Duan Kesheng's ears, he nearly went berserk.
"What did you say?"
Duan Kesheng grabbed the clothes of his trusted confidant and questioned sharply, "The supervisory team couldn't even stop these fleeing soldiers? What are they trying to do? Do they think they can survive by running away from the front lines? Aren't they still surrounded by Prince Xin's army? A bunch of pigs! Pig brains!"
However, no matter how angry or scathing Duan Kesheng was, it did not change the situation in the slightest.
At this moment, the army of the Dian King was completely terrified.
Lacking fighting spirit, they are like walking corpses.
At that moment, the Second Regiment of the Guiling Local Garrison, led by Regiment Commander Tan Chengtong, launched an attack.
In the wilderness, soldiers of Prince Xin's army, armed with flintlock muskets made in Dongning, charged toward this place.
A vast, dark mass, with an imposing presence.
This scene was also witnessed by the soldiers of the Dian King's army near Liucheng Town.
"It's over! It's over! This is really the end!"
"Prince Xin's army has launched an attack!"
What should we do?
...
For a time, some soldiers of the Dian King's army were extremely anxious and fearful.
"How about we...we surrender?"
A soldier stared wide-eyed at his comrades and said, "I heard that Prince Xin's army is accepting prisoners. As long as we sincerely surrender, they won't make things difficult for us! And we can even survive!"
"surrender?"
The surrounding soldiers were stunned. They looked at each other but remained silent.
"What's wrong? Have you all gone mute? This is our only way to survive! Think it over carefully!"
For a moment, all the soldiers fell silent.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the battlefield, bullets whizzed by, forming a dense network of fire that effectively sealed off the battlefield.
These soldiers of the Dian King's army, who were lying on the ground, did not even dare to raise their heads.
In the open field, soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Guiling Local Garrison rushed over quickly.
The vanguard has already clashed with the army of the King of Dian.
"Charge!"
A company commander shouted loudly, and soldiers behind him charged forward with flintlock rifles made in Dongning.
Bang!
A soldier aimed at the enemy and pulled the trigger.
The scorching bullet gushed from the barrel and pierced the enemy soldier's chest. Instantly, blood gushed out, the enemy soldier's eyes widened like a dead fish, and he fell straight down.
Meanwhile, more and more soldiers from the Second Regiment were charging in from the rear.
Those who surrender will not be killed!
Those who surrender will not be killed!
A company commander shouted loudly.
The soldiers of the Dian King's army, who were besieged, lit up when they heard this.
Like a dying man grasping at his last straw, he threw down his weapon and knelt down to surrender as the Prince of Xin's army drew ever closer.
The surrender of one soldier was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and instantly more soldiers surrendered.
Before long, a large number of soldiers from the Dian King's army knelt on the ground.
"Did you hear that? Prince Xin's army is shouting: Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Really? So we can surrender now..."
Surrender began to spread.
For these soldiers of the Dian King's army, who had no hope of survival, surrendering became their only option!
More and more enemy soldiers surrendered, and the situation on the battlefield became increasingly clear.
When the news reached Duan Kesheng, he lay on the ground in a daze, speechless for a long time.
Not long ago, Duan Kesheng was full of vigor and wanted to wipe out the army of Prince Xin in one fell swoop, and even bring Guiling Province under the command of the Prince of Dian.
However, at this very moment, his army of twenty to thirty thousand men was about to be completely annihilated!
Such a huge disparity left Duan Kesheng momentarily speechless.
"Report—"
Just then, a soldier rushed over from a distance and said to Duan Kesheng, "Reporting to the general, something terrible has happened! Prince Xin's army is marching this way!"
"ah?"
The confidant beside him suddenly changed his expression. He turned to look at Duan Kesheng and asked, "General Duan, what should we do now?"
However, Duan Kesheng did not answer his question.
After a long silence, the confidant shook his head helplessly and said, "Order the soldiers at the front to hold them off! Quickly!"
Although he knew that this order was almost impossible to complete.
However, the presence of someone could slow down the advance of Prince Xin's army.
Only in this way can they survive.
"Quickly! You few, come here and take General Duan with you, retreat!"
