Such a target naturally became the primary target for the Wei soldiers in the hot air balloon. It's important to note that such a person is most likely a high-ranking general in the Gan Kingdom's army, and eliminating such a target can significantly damage enemy morale. The most important point is that killing an enemy general will earn you a high military merit reward. This will not only earn you a promotion in the military, but also allow your family to live a better life with the rewards bestowed by His Majesty.
So in the first round of bombing, He Kun was killed on the battlefield by a bomb dropped from the sky. When the deputy generals of Gan State saw the scene after their main general was killed, they immediately fell into chaos. The formation that could be barely maintained was instantly in chaos. At this time, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even the deputy generals wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
The people of Qiulihe Mountain watched the changes on the battlefield with their mouths wide open, their fists wide enough to fit in. They could hardly believe their eyes. Some villagers and soldiers who believed in the gods had already begun to kneel on the ground to thank the heavens for sending the celestial soldiers and generals to rescue them from danger.
It has to be said that sometimes those who believe in God find it easier to accept new things. After all, as long as they can't figure out something, they can just attribute it to God's arrangement.
Qiu Li said to Mu Yunfeng, "Is this the backup plan you arranged?"
Mu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "This wasn't my arrangement. Although I didn't know about the existence of hot air balloons, the air force has always been directly controlled by the imperial court. Before I came to pick you up, there was no such air force in Luocheng. I think the princes from the Royal Government Affairs Office came to Luocheng for something. When they learned that I hadn't returned from my mission to pick you up, they ordered this air force to look for you."
Qiu Li said, "The more I understand Wei, the more I envy those of you who serve in Wei. Furthermore, under the rule of the current emperor, the lives of the people of Wei are getting better and better."
Mu Yunfeng smiled and said, "There's no need for you to feel sorry for yourself. If you really envy me, after becoming a member of the Wei Kingdom, you can also try to get into university. After receiving ideological education in university, you can then become an official in the Wei Kingdom."
Qiu Li said with a wry smile, "Just now, He Kun promised that if I surrendered, I would be made a king of a different surname. Why do I have to become a student and start all over again after arriving in Wei?"
Mu Yunfeng patted Qiu Li on the shoulder and said, "This is where our Majesty is brilliant. I don't think you don't understand this principle, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stay on this mountain with me."
At this time, Zhao Yong hurried over and said tremblingly, "General, I saw the general of the Gan Kingdom who was talking to you just now was killed in the explosion. Now the soldiers of the Gan Kingdom have begun to flee in all directions. Should we take advantage of this chaos to break out?"
In fact, Zhao Yong was also very scared at this time. After all, he was watching from the mountain that countless soldiers from the Gan Kingdom were killed or injured by bombs below. If the enemy flew over his head and dropped a bomb, then the fate of his people would not be much better.
Qiu Li turned to look at Mu Yunfeng and waited for his decision. After all, both the army in the sky and on the ground belonged to the Wei Kingdom, and as the general, Mu Yunfeng certainly had some decision-making power.
Mu Yunfeng also noticed the panic among the soldiers and civilians on the mountaintop and said to Zhao Yong, "Go and reassure the ordinary people in your village. These aircraft in the sky will not attack us. They are our Wei Kingdom's private troops. They are obviously here to rescue us."
Zhao Yong calmed down a bit after hearing Mu Yunfeng's words. Although he still felt a little unbelievable, seeing Mu Yunfeng's confidence, he chose to believe him. After all, in this situation, if the soldiers above him were enemies, then he and his men would be doomed.
Mu Yunfeng reached a boulder on the top of a mountain, tore off his clothes, made two simple flags, and waved them at the soldiers in the sky. When the soldiers in the hot air balloon saw the message Mu Yunfeng had given them, they immediately stopped the bombing and relayed the news they had received from Mu Yunfeng to the cavalry on the ground.
After receiving the news, Chu Zhenglin approached Chu Fan and asked, "General Mu said that the commander of this Gan army was killed in the bombing just now. He suggested that we immediately start recruiting these defeated Gan soldiers to surrender and reduce the killing of these ordinary soldiers."
Chu Fan nodded as he listened from his horse. Actually, after actually witnessing the fighting on the battlefield, Chu Fan still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, there was blood and broken limbs everywhere, and the air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder and blood. This made Chu Fan feel a little nauseous, and if the killing could be reduced, it would naturally be the best.
Immediately, the cavalry's attack on the Gan soldiers weakened. At the same time, the Wei soldiers began to shout at the Gan soldiers, "Your commander will die, but surrender and you will not be killed." After hearing the Wei soldiers' shouts of "surrender and you will not be killed," the Gan soldiers who were still resisting laid down their weapons and surrendered.
After all, what the other party said was true. When He Kun was standing on the rocks halfway up the mountain and was blown to death, many Qian soldiers saw it, especially the deputy generals and other generals who had been waiting for He Kun's orders. Their eyes were always focused on He Kun. They all witnessed the scene of He Kun being blown to death with their own eyes, and had already lost the faith to fight.
I had been resisting just now just to survive. After all, who can guarantee that I will survive after surrendering? But now the soldiers of Wei have shouted the slogan "Surrender and no killing", so I believe that Wei will not kill me after I surrender.
You should know that among these generals there are some people who are well-informed. Most of the soldiers who surrendered in the army that invaded Wei last year survived. Although they worked for Wei for free, not only did they save their lives, but the food they ate was even better than when they were in Wei.
After all, for ordinary soldiers, they just want to have enough food to survive. Many soldiers were conscripted from the country this time. They originally did not have much fighting spirit. Now that someone took the lead in surrendering, they followed suit and laid down their weapons.
Seeing that the soldiers of Gan State had chosen to surrender and the soldiers of Wei State had not continued to kill, Qiu Li felt relieved. These ordinary soldiers on the battlefield were just ordinary people from Gan State, and they were just following He Kun's orders. If they were all killed by Wei State, he would feel a little guilty.
After settling the surrendered Gan soldiers, Mu Yunfeng took Qiu Li and the soldiers and civilians on the mountain down the hill.
Mu Yunfeng really wanted to know who rescued him, and he must thank the other person very much.
When Mu Yunfeng and others went down to the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, when Mu Yunfeng looked at Chu Fan riding a horse slowly walking towards him, Mu Yunfeng could no longer think.
You must know that one of the greatest merits of a court minister is to save the emperor, but what if it is the emperor who saves the minister?
