But I don’t know how long this smoke will last. If I’m not careful, by the time the smoke dissipates, I’ll be surrounded by Qinghe.
Besides, he had just run a few steps blindly in panic, which meant he had completely lost his sense of direction and had no idea which direction the gate of the rear camp was. If he ran forward blindly now, he might not only crash into Qinghe's army, but he might even be chopped to the ground by soldiers who were panicking and waving their weapons.
Liu Yong touched his left arm and found a deep cut there. He didn't know who had left it while waving a machete around next to him.
Although Liu Yong relied on his martial arts to chop the man to the ground with his sword with his eyes closed, he was bound to be injured. If he wanted to escape a long distance, it would be even more difficult with injuries on his body. In other words, if he did not bandage his wounds in time, he felt that he could not run far. After all, he was very clear about the maintenance of his soldiers' weapons. The stains on the sword might be more than those on the soldiers who had not taken a bath for several months.
Fortunately, the pain from the wound calmed him down from his initial panic, otherwise he might have died in this unprecedented "blind" camp roar.
After a brief and calm analysis, our General Liu took the best approach: he lay down with his head in his hands. That way, no matter who was swinging swords, spears, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks or forks around him, they would not be able to hurt him.
a long time.
The mosaic gradually faded away.
General Liu, who had been sticking his face on the ground, felt someone kicking him.
He quietly turned his head to the side, trying to see if the mosaic had disappeared.
After all, during the time he was lying there, about ten people stepped over him, and one of them was a pair of big feet with a very sour smell that stepped directly on his face, which was why he had to stick his face to the ground.
After all, many soldiers did not have the habit of washing their feet, so once they did not wear shoes, the smell was enough to drive General Liu away.
It's safe.
It's safe anyway.
Although there were still some shouts and cries of killing all around, they were merely the Qinghe soldiers trying to control the emotionally broken Chen Dynasty soldiers.
The Qinghe soldiers who entered the Chen Dynasty military camp did not kill indiscriminately. At least from their feet, there were no corpses lying on the ground.
Liu Yong calmed down and was about to get up when he heard the owner of a pair of leather boots say:
"General Liu, please get up. You've been lying there like this forever. Do you really want me to bend down and talk to you?"
Liu Yong quickly stood up and wiped the dirt and footprints off his face with his half-cut sleeve. He said to the young Qinghe general, "May I know who you are?"
"I am Huang Zong, commander of the Qinghe First Army."
The young general said so.
"Ah! Am I still doomed to die? Why does this underworld look exactly like my rear camp?"
"Oh? General Liu is determined to die? That's not impossible. After meeting His Majesty, General Liu can choose between beheading or committing suicide."
The man laughed.
"Could it be that I'm not dead? But didn't you die a long time ago?"
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
The laughter coming from the side startled Liu Yong for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "You guys are resorting to cheating even for something like this. It seems like the Great Chen Dynasty deserved to lose."
"Pooh!"
Huang Zong glanced at Liu Yong and pointed at the man with a stick who was being gathered by the Qinghe soldiers and said, "Your harsh treatment of your own people is the reason for your defeat."
At this point, Huang Zong no longer had the heart to speak to the only remaining general on the front line of the Chen Dynasty. He waved his hand and had Liu Yong taken away.
"How's it going, brother?"
Lin Hai, who had just stepped into the Chen Dynasty camp, asked casually.
"The siege of Jiankang has been completed, but the attack has not yet begun. It is said that the Second Prince has launched a coup in the palace, purging officials loyal to the Crown Prince, and is now trying to negotiate peace with us."
"Peace?"
"Yes, he said he could hand over his eldest brother to us and cede the four southwestern provinces of the Chen Dynasty in exchange for our withdrawal and support for his ascension to the throne."
"Where is the Fourth Prince?"
"Our people gave him Zhou Shangwen's letter. He escaped from Jiankang on the eve of the palace coup and is now staying in our military camp."
"Alright then. Tell the Second Prince that his only option is unconditional surrender. As long as he surrenders, I will guarantee his life."
"How far has the prince run?"
"His Royal Highness is in good health. He has already fled over a hundred miles and is now heading towards the Second Army's defense line, escorted by his cavalry."
"Haha, it seems that regular exercise is good for the body."
Lin Hai joked.
"However, enough have died since the war began. Every one saved is a blessing. Send a messenger to Gao Chong and tell him that his cavalry has been well disciplined and has committed no evil since the beginning of the war. If he will hand over the crown prince, not only will I spare his life, but he will also be allowed to continue leading the troops, and his subordinates and property will be preserved."
"Yes, sir."
Wang Zuo took the order and left.
