Chapter 407 A Classic Battle
The imperial army woke up in chaos, rolled out of bed in panic, and began to resist as soon as they got their weapons.
They didn't know when the peasant army arrived, let alone how many people there were.
When you panic, you become confused.
There were panic and chaotic scenes everywhere.
Zhao Xun, his deputy general and the soldiers were all captured, and the peasant army tied them up like three big dumplings.
The three were pushed out of the tent.
Zhao Xun twisted his body in shame and anger. The deputy general and the soldier had not yet recovered from the shock and were in a complete daze.
What is going on?
They should have been the ones to launch the sneak attack, how did things turn out the other way around?
There was chaos outside the tent. The imperial army was in panic and collapsed. Ye Yanping led the imperial guards in the front and the peasant army in the back. They were unstoppable and killed countless enemies.
Lao Qiu put the knife to Zhao Xun's neck and shouted:
"Dogs! Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
"Your general has been captured! Resistance is meaningless! Lay down your weapons immediately and surrender is your only way out!"
These words were like a thunderclap, which made the enemy dizzy. When they turned around and saw that their commander had actually been captured, they instantly lost their fighting spirit.
Ping pong, weapons fell all over the floor.
Zhao Xun looked flustered and unwilling. Soon, he discovered a problem:
The number of peasant soldiers coming for the surprise attack tonight is very small, less than 10,000!
"Leave me alone!" Zhao Xun shouted, "They only have a few thousand people. They can't win!"
The imperial army hesitated.
The generals have knives pointed at their necks. How can we fight this war?
"Listen to me!" Zhao Xun continued to shout, "Kill them! Avenge us! I am not afraid of death! As long as the emperor understands my loyalty, I will die a worthy death!"
Zhao Xun was certain that he was the biggest bargaining chip, and the peasant army would not attack him first.
If you want to kill someone, kill the deputy general and the military officer first.
But he didn't know that Lao Qiu had seen many people like him and knew his thoughts very well.
"Shut up!" Lao Qiu interrupted him and sneered, "I didn't expect you to have a talent for acting!"
"My knife is right against your neck! If you're really not afraid of death, just put your neck close to me and snap it, and it'll be over! Why are you spouting all this useless nonsense!"
Zhao Xun was stunned, looking at the knife so close to him, his eyes bulging and unable to speak.
"What are you doing! Why don't you put your neck closer? Suddenly, blood spurted out several feet away, and the dog emperor will understand your loyalty!" Lao Qiu continued.
Zhao Xun's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were trembling. There was no trace of the iron will he had just now.
There were some people in the imperial army who did not obey Zhao Xun. They immediately showed contempt on their faces, "Damn it! Such a coward is not worthy of being the General of the Cavalry!"
"What time is it now? You're still telling lies and making us fight to the death! You're obviously a cunning villain who only knows how to flatter others!"
Zhao Xun was furious: "You don't listen to me, are you going to rebel? There are only a few thousand of them! Do you want to be laughed at by the world?"
Ye Yanping laughed heartily: "Do you really think we don't have reinforcements? To tell you the truth, our main force will be here soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rapid and dense sound of horse hooves came from afar, accompanied by the enthusiastic shouts of charging into battle.
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
The sound drowned out the howling of the wind and the snow, making the peasant army's blood boil and the imperial army look pale!
At this time, someone outside shouted loudly: "The main force of the peasant army is coming! Run away!"
The sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing were indeed getting closer.
The imperial army had no time to care about anything else and immediately fled madly.
Some people even expressed their loyalty while fleeing, "General! A brave man will not suffer a loss in front of him. Wait until we come back and come to rescue you!"
In the chaos, someone fell down, and then countless people fell down. People who were eager to escape trampled on them without any care, causing countless casualties among the imperial army.
Except for those who fled, the rest surrendered voluntarily.
They all knelt on the ground.
"The Emperor is incompetent and has no moral integrity. We no longer want to work for the court!"
"We believe in Little Lucky Star! We believe in Wang Daru! Wherever they are, there we are!"
"We are willing to obey the orders of Black River City! We will follow you to overthrow the tyranny!"
Zhao Xun cursed angrily, "You idiots! A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the emperor is incompetent, he's still superior to these peasants in every way! Escape as soon as possible, so you can make great contributions to the court in the future!"
Suddenly, a faint fire appeared in the distance.
The flames quickly spread out and became particularly conspicuous in the snowy night.
The peasant army was overjoyed when they saw this. "This fire! Did the Master and his men succeed?!"
Ye Yanping smiled and said, "Of course it is! I didn't expect them to succeed tonight as well!"
Zhao Xun suddenly woke up, his eyes bloodshot, "Food! Was the food burned?!"
Sure enough, the next second, there was a sound of ghosts howling in the distance: "Oh no! The food and grass are burned!"
The peasant army raised their arms and shouted: "Master has succeeded! That's great!"
"Master led people to sneak into the city a few days ago. I didn't expect them to succeed!"
The fleeing soldiers staggered and felt sad in their hearts.
The food supplies were burned, and they lost their last hope!
They had no third choice but to surrender or return to the court.
"This battle! The winner is decided!"
"Compared to them, we are cowardly and foolish, and we lose with conviction!"
The deputy general and the soldier burst into tears, and simultaneously hit the sharp blade on their necks and fell to the ground and died!
Looking at the two men's deaths, Zhao Xun trembled like a sieve. "I am willing to surrender to Heihe City, as long as you don't kill me!"
Ye Yanping was stunned. "No way! I heard that you were personally appointed as the General of the Cavalry by the Emperor! What kind of vision does your Emperor have?"
The imperial army was filled with mockery. "Who just said we were fence-sitters? How come we're fence-sitters now?"
"When we set out on the expedition, the deputy general proposed taking a group of troops and marching quickly to seize Nanyong Pass ahead of time! But this idiot mocked the deputy general for praising Heihe City too much, saying that the peasant army had never even left their hometown, so how could they know how to seize Nanyong Pass!"
"Such an arrogant fool doesn't deserve to live in this world!"
The imperial army rushed forward and stabbed Zhao Xun with countless bloody holes.
"We can't let those fools who refuse to surrender escape! If they return to the court and tell the emperor, we will be considered traitors!"
So, the peasant army, who had originally intended to pretend to chase the enemy, watched in amazement as these surrendered people passed by them and rushed forward like they were riding on a whirlwind.
The shouts and screams were endless.
The peasant army stood aside as spectators, all of them stunned:
In this battle, who is the protagonist now?
Half an hour later, these people came back.
"We killed all those idiots who couldn't tell good from evil!"
"I also persuaded some people to bring them all back!"
Peasant Army: "..."
Hey, brothers, since you want to join Black River City so much, why didn’t you say so earlier?
Why make us make this unnecessary trip?
…
This is not the most magical thing.
The most magical thing is that they found the rope themselves and handed it to the peasant army with a sincere look on their faces:
"Brother, since we are prisoners, we must be aware of being prisoners!"
After saying that, he raised his hands and said, "Hurry up and tie it up!"
"Do you need to tie your feet?"
"Feet can also be tied!"
So they said.
Peasant Army:???
I'm not afraid of the prisoner being too tough, I'm just afraid of the prisoner being too proactive!
The captives are so enthusiastic, we can’t do anything to them!
This feeling is so weird!
I always feel that these people who surrendered are the biggest winners...?
