Chapter 354 Half surrendered, half died
in battle Hui Niang smiled and said, "Two armies are meant to fight. It's normal for Dayun's soldiers to fight us."
"My husband said that he didn't save you for any purpose. He just hopes that your husband, father and brother can think twice before acting. Don't fight without caring about your life."
"No matter who it is, even the emperor, he only has one life. If you lose your life, you lose everything."
Hui Niang's words touched the hearts of these ladies.
Their husbands were fighting on the front line, and they were also scared as wives. They always dreamed of their husbands' corpses being carried home at night.
They knew that the Feiluan Army was nominally for protection, but in fact they were threatening and restraining their husbands with their lives, so they acted more cautiously.
When the Shunyi Army came to pick them up, they were full of trepidation.
Rather than leaving with the Shunyi Army, it would be better to stay in the capital and be imprisoned by the Feiluan Army.
At least their husbands were soldiers of Dayun, and Dayun would never do too much to them.
But those who went to rescue them cried and complained.
They said that Dayun was bound to lose the war now, and in order not to implicate them, their husbands would definitely choose to die on the battlefield.
After sleeping in the same bed for so many years, they knew their husbands' characters.
If that time really came, their husbands would definitely choose to die on the battlefield.
They were all women and did not understand the righteousness of the country.
They only knew that their husbands were fighting on the front line, but they were bullied by the Feiluan Army in the capital.
They even became puppets to control their husbands, forcing their husbands to die.
Dayun abandoned their husbands, but they could abandon their husbands.
So they rushed here in a hurry, risking being used by the Shunyi Army. They
came not to persuade their husbands to surrender, but to live and die with their husbands.
Even if they died, they would die together.
They were very grateful for the righteousness of the Shunyi Army.
After sincerely thanking Hui Niang, they came to Dayun's military camp.
Seeing their arrival, the soldiers were very excited, and they came forward to check if they were injured and asked them about their experiences along the way.
When a couple meets, they naturally have endless things to talk about.
The young couples almost had a long talk.
They kept silent about the situation in the court, just getting along as relaxedly and comfortably as they used to at home.
Huaiqing thought that Tang Shi would take advantage of the soldiers' affection with his wife to launch an attack, but unexpectedly, Tang Shi did not take any action.
The military camps on both sides temporarily ceased fighting and were in harmony.
From the wives' mouths, the soldiers gradually learned about the current situation in Xuyang Pass. Listening to the wives' vague praise, the soldiers became more silent.
Some were angry about Dayun's corruption, but they dared not say much because of their duties as ministers.
Some were ashamed that Dayun's governance was not as good as the rebels, so they kept silent.
Others were constantly wavering in their hearts.
The Shunyi Army is so righteous, and is better than Dayun in every aspect. Good birds choose trees to roost in, so why don't they join Shunyi and become an upright and good official.
This period of time is the happiest time in their lives.
Don't think about the battlefield, don't think about the court, just follow your heart and get along well with your family. Those
who intend to surrender will take the opportunity to surrender. Those
who don't intend to surrender will take advantage of these few days of leisure to get along well with their families and finish their unfinished business.
They thought that what they should wait for first should be Shunyi's declaration of war, but they never thought that what they got was Dayun's urging.
Dayun sent a new Tongpan as a supervisor.
As soon as the judge arrived, he said arrogantly: "His Majesty sent you here to suppress the rebels, but you all indulged in gentleness."
"You hid His Majesty's coming and deceived the world. It is your blessing that His Majesty is willing to help you take care of your wives and children. You act as if His Majesty is threatening you."
Although the supervisor had a rebellious attitude, he was restrained in his words and did not make trouble like the Feiluan Army before.
Knowing that this was a losing battle, Huai Qing still led the soldiers to the battlefield.
The soldiers went to the battlefield with the determination to die.
This time, Tang Shi did not restrain his soldiers and they fought in an upright manner.
Huai Qing enjoyed the battle very much. He smiled with blood all over his body, "It was enjoyable, this battle was really enjoyable."
"Tang Shi, I have fought with you for a lifetime. I wanted to say something cruel before I died and scold you severely, but now I can't scold you. I respect you as a man, but I don't want to bear the name of a rebel and cannot fight the enemy with you. If there is an afterlife, I will be your brother. If you let me go east, I will never go west."
The soldiers around him had fallen one after another. Knowing that there was no hope of winning, he ran into Tang Shi's gun.
"Mr. Tang, it's better to die by your gun than by those minions. I, Huai Qing, can only lose to you in this life."
"Let me be the ghost under your gun. It can be regarded as a contribution to you and a way to repay your kindness to me."
He was unwilling to surrender, so it could only end like this.
He was most afraid of death, but now he chose to end his life in this way.
Tang Shi put away the spear in his hand in a rather complicated way.
"You won this time."
In terms of martial arts and military tactics, Huai Qing was far from his opponent.
He thought Huai Qing would surrender, but he didn't expect Huai Qing to choose to die on the battlefield.
This stinky boy has been timid and afraid all his life, and in the end he actually played this death game with him.
Tang Shi's eyes were red, and he said to his men, "Put away General Huai Qing's body, don't neglect it."
As soldiers, they respected each other the most. Huai Qing 's
determination to die rather than surrender was admirable. Even if Tang Shi didn't tell them, they would have taken Huai Qing's body away seriously. The Tongpan who came to supervise the army saw that Huai Qing was dead, so he quickly changed into inconspicuous clothes and took the opportunity to escape.
"Crazy, everyone in this camp is fucking crazy."
Half of the people surrendered, and half died in battle.
They could have escaped to a safe place and waited for support, but they chose to die on the battlefield.
The judge never thought that it would be better to die on the battlefield than to escape in disgrace and be punished by His Majesty. At least it would protect their families from disgrace, and it would also allow His Majesty to calm down and not blame the brothers who were lucky enough to survive.
Tang Shi led people to collect the corpses silently. Because of his acquaintance with Huai Qing, Tang Shi vaguely recognized many of the dead soldiers.
The soldiers were very silent and very quiet.
When they came to Dayun Barracks and saw the girls standing outside the barracks waiting for their husbands to return, they felt even more uncomfortable. They clearly won the battle, but it was more uncomfortable than if they had lost.
The women were not surprised to see Tang Shi and his men coming to the barracks.
They simply said, "I hope the generals will give us some time. We will pack up and leave immediately."
