Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 53 Li Hong's ruthlessness shocked the Xianbei people
Boom ~

The Xianbei cavalry from all directions stopped in unison. Although there was no fighting, it was enough to show that the Xianbei people's horse-controlling skills were indeed first-class.

There were Xianbei cavalry everywhere, which made many slaves panic.

Li Hong stood still as a mountain, stroking his gray beard and watching the performance of these Xianbei cavalry coldly.

"Han people, please release my Xianbei Chanyu!"

Several groups of Xianbei cavalry arrived in front of the Han army and immediately saw Tan Shihuai who was hung high up and shouted angrily.

"Hehe, I am Li Hong, the General of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty. I am the supreme commander of the Han army this time. I wonder how you leaders should address me?"

Li Hong urged his horse forward, faced several Xianbei leaders, and said with a smile.

"I am Ke Zui Que, I live in Murong Temple, the commander of the Murong tribe, a Han general. If you release me, the Chanyu of Xianbei, I will let you leave Xianbei safely!"

One of the Xianbei people who looked the most imposing said in a deep voice.

Looking at Tan Shihuai who was hung up high and had his mouth blocked, his face was extremely gloomy.

Undoubtedly, the most urgent task is to rescue Tan Shihuai.

"The commander-in-chief of the Murong tribe?" Li Hong narrowed his eyes when he heard the other party's identity. He looked him up and down and found that he was indeed different from the usual brave but reckless Xianbei people. He also had the elegance of a wise man all over his body.

"Haha, release Tan Shihuai and let us go, Commander of the Murong tribe, are you trying to fool a three-year-old child? The Han army has burned down the Xianbei royal court, and hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people died at the hands of the Han army. Do you think this general will believe you? Moreover, today, it is not about whether you release me, but whether I will release your Murong tribe!!"

"Li Li, this is the commander-in-chief of the Murong tribe. Bring up all the captives of the Murong tribe!" Li Hong shouted coldly.

When Li Li, who was at the back, heard Li Hong's instructions, he hurriedly took out a bamboo slip and quickly found something. He said loudly:
"There are a total of 143 captives from Murong's tribe, including eight of Marshal Murong's direct sons, twelve of his daughters, and more than twenty family members. The rest are all leaders of various tribes, their families, and hostages. All of them will be taken away!"

As soon as Li Li finished speaking, hundreds of Han soldiers came out of the battle formation, escorting 143 captives from Murong's army.

"Father, please save me, I don't want to die!" A young Xianbei man with a rather disheveled face and bruised face shouted anxiously to Marshal Murong as soon as the seal on his mouth was opened.

Shouts and pleas for mercy were heard one after another. It was obvious that they were extremely scared, and seeing Marshal Murong seemed like a life-saving straw.

Because they were terrified, the Han army really dared to kill people.

The Han army actually captured thousands of prisoners in the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court. During the screening, anyone who did not cooperate was killed directly.

They see clearly.

Many Xianbei people with extraordinary identities and good status were directly killed by the Han army because they did not report their identities in time, and they did not even have the chance to regret.

The Han army really dared to kill people and showed no mercy to them, regardless of whether they were Xianbei nobles or not.

Therefore, when they met the highest Xianbei commander of the Murong tribe, these captives of the Murong tribe could only grasp at the last straw.

"This……"

Marshal Murong on the opposite side and the leaders of the tribes under his command immediately became agitated when they saw more than a hundred prisoners. Some of them could not sit still and showed extremely angry expressions on their faces.

They saw clearly that these more than one hundred people were the core members of their Murong tribe who remained in the royal court.

Proton.

Tan Shihuai was a powerful figure, the king of the Xianbei tribe, so they naturally would not play any tricks on retaining hostages.

These protons are definitely the most important people to them, no doubt about it.

So when they saw the swords and axes coming at them, all the senior officials of Murong's army, including Marshal Murong, could no longer remain calm.

"Han people, what do you want to do? Quickly release my Murong people!"

"Han people, are you looking for death?"

Voices of shock and anger rose one after another among the top leaders of the Murong tribe.

"Alas!" Tan Shihuai, who was tied up high, could not help but close his eyes in grief when he saw this scene. He used hostages to control this scattered tribal alliance.

Now, these hostages were held hostage by Li Hong, and even Tan Shihuai was captured. For the Xianbei, this might be a disaster. After fighting with Li Hong once, he realized that Li Hong had experienced decades of fighting on the battlefield and was a decisive person.

Sure enough, just as the top leaders of the Murong tribe were expressing their anger and threats one after another.

A strong murderous intent appeared in Li Hong's eyes!
"I think you still can't tell the difference between the big and small kings. Li Li, the hostages of various levels of high-ranking officials of the Murong tribe, pull out ten of them and chop them off to serve as an example to Marshal Murong and the tribal leaders!" Li Hong's cold shout resounded, and Huangfu Song, Zhang Fei and others who were not far away could not help but tremble.

At this time, there were no less than 50,000 Xianbei troops attacking from all directions. If they were really provoked and launched a charge, they would probably be directly defeated.

After all, there are still nearly 100,000 slaves with little combat power.

Li Li did not hesitate to carry out Li Hong's words. He waved his hand and shouted, "Follow the orders of the General Zhengbei. Kill ten hostages and set an example for them!"

Although Li Li did not have much experience, he understood from being taught by Li Hong that sometimes one must be ruthless when necessary.

If you are not ruthless enough, you will be attacked by the enemy.

The more ruthless you are, the more fearful your enemies will be.

When the Han soldiers heard Li Li's words, they did not hesitate at all and swung their knives down.

Along with the screams and cries of the protons, ten heads of more than a hundred captured protons fell to the ground in disbelief.

Among them was a son of Marshal Murong and the sons of the leaders of various Murong tribes.

"Ah~"

Marshal Murong and the leaders of the Murong tribes could hardly hide their pain when they saw their son's head fall to the ground.

Li Hong sneered:
"It seems that everyone still hasn't understood. Li Li, kill ten more people to cheer them up!"

"promise!"

"Follow the order from General Zhengbei and kill ten more people!" Li Li shouted.

"No, no!" Marshal Murong and the leaders of various tribes on the opposite side panicked and shouted.

Even the ten people who were captured screamed in fear and begged for mercy.

However, it was of no use. Li Li resolutely carried out Li Hong's order and immediately arrested ten people. The executioner swung his sword again.

Puff, puff, puff, puff~

Ten heads rolled on the ground with eyes wide open and disbelief.

The Han army all took a deep breath.

The slaves clenched their hands.

Li Hong, however, remained motionless, looking coldly at Marshal Murong and the leaders of the Murong tribe, and said:

"Why, Marshal Murong, do you want me to help you guys out a little more? There are still more than a hundred of us!"

Li Hong's cold words reached the ears of Marshal Murong and the leaders of the various tribes of the Murong tribe, making everyone shudder.

At this point, Marshal Murong and the leaders of the various tribes of the Murong tribe really didn't dare to threaten Li Hong anymore. A threat meant that their sons would be sent on the journey. There was nothing more exciting in the world than this.

"Han man, what do you want to do?" Marshal Murong blew his beard and glared at Li Hong, his voice no longer questioning or threatening.

Li Hong smiled when he heard this. The Xianbei people softened. Then it would be easier to talk.

"Since Marshal Murong is willing to negotiate with me, let's discuss the terms. These one hundred prisoners are useless to me, so I will sell them to you. Of course, if you don't buy them, they will die. After all, I don't have enough food to feed them."

Li Hong grinned at Marshal Murong and the leaders of the various tribes of the Murong tribe, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
