Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 713 The Dead End (3)

"Cavalry attack, clean up the battlefield!"

The gunshots have stopped, the gunpowder smoke is still permeating, and there is a dead silence all around. Not only the officers and soldiers of the Tang army in formation are silent, but also the more than [-] large food troops on the other side of the river are all silent. Everyone's eyes are focused on the post-war battle In the messy battlefield, a strange aura hovered and spread on both sides of the bank, but Xiao Sanlang remained unmoved, took a deep breath, and gave the order coldly.

"No, attack!"

Even though they knew that their army would be crushed if they attacked, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry did not expect that the battle would end so quickly. It didn't arrive, and I couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After Xiao Sanlang's order was issued, the head lieutenant just woke up like a dream, hurriedly roared, and led his troops out of the formation, but at this time The food army had already finished playing, and all the cavalry of the Tang army could do was escort the prisoners of war, which really made the cavalry unable to cheer up.

"Ugh……"

Looking at the cavalrymen of the Tang Army on the other side of the river, Mustafa Ibnyan sighed, two tears could not help coming out of his eyes, he shook his head with a wry smile, and did not give any more orders, just bowed his head He rode his horse towards the big tent of the Chinese Army, and a group of generals hurriedly followed after seeing this, but the more than [-] soldiers who lined up on the spot were all dumbfounded on the spot, looking at the other side of the river with blank eyes.

"Tsk tsk, Saburo is a good soldier. Unexpectedly, the 'Wooden Army' back then has become a thing now."

On the top of the main peak, Li He witnessed how easily a battalion of the army annihilated five hundred food troops. Excited, Li He couldn't help but sighed.

"Ah."

As Li Xian's most useful confidant, Lin Chengbin is aware of the power of the army, and he also knows that in the near future, the army will definitely replace the existing infantry. As the veteran of the army, Xiao Sanlang's future development prospects are definitely bright There was a bright light, even though Lin Chengbin's mind was calm, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, but he didn't intend to show the emotion and admiration in his heart. To Li Hezhi's words, he just said noncommittal, which was regarded as an answer pass.

"Brother Lin, the bandit army can't break through the siege, nor can they cross the river. The morale of the army is exhausted. I'm afraid this battle will be over. If the bandit army surrenders, our army doesn't have so much rations. I wonder what brother Lin plans to do with it? "

Although Li He's age is not too old, he is only in his early thirties, but he is old in battle. Needless to say, his strategic vision is sharp, and he can see at a glance that the Dashi Army has no fighting spirit anymore. , This is how to think about how to arrange things after the war.

"His Highness has explained this matter, our army will not participate, and it will be handled by the King of Persia himself."

Lin Chengbin was as careful as a hair, and he had already thought about what Li He could think of, but he didn't take it to heart, because Li Xian had explained it before going out for the expedition.

"Nirvana master? Hehe, where did that kid find so much food and fodder, eh..."

For Ni Nirvana Master, who is incapable of writing and martial arts, Li Hesu doesn't like it. Hearing Lin Chengbin's words, he can't help but despise Master Ni Nirvana. Su Wu was taken aback for a moment, and his complexion brightened in an instant, but Li He didn't dare to utter his guesses because there were so many people around him.

"Let's have a look."

Just looking at Li He's face, Lin Chengbin knew that he had understood the crux of the matter, but he didn't express anything in particular, he just replied casually calmly.

"General, look quickly, there is movement in the bandit barracks!"

Lin Chengbin didn't want to talk about it, and Li He didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward, but at this moment, the exclamation of the sentinel beat the dullness to a halt. Smashing, Lin and Li heard the sound, and they were all freed from their ignorance. They each took out the binoculars on their waists and aimed in the direction of the Dashi camp. Charged towards the main peak, a soldier of the Great Food Army headed by held a white flag in his hand, followed by another general in chain mail on horseback.

"Well, this is coming to negotiate, but it's coming soon."

Li He only took one look, and guessed the purpose of the two riders. He was too lazy to wait and see, put down the binoculars in his hand, curled his mouth in disdain, and muttered.

"Let's go."

Lin Chengbin also didn't look too much. After taking a glance, he turned around and ignored Li He's nagging. Seeing this, He couldn't say anything more, but shrugged his shoulders incomprehensibly, and chased after him in silence... "The great Tang general, the last general of the Eastern Province of the Great Food Empire, Huluo On behalf of His Excellency Mustafa Ibnyan, Governor of the Eastern Province, Soyanza Vihez, Military Commander of Sanbalkh City, would like to extend his highest respect to you."

After some negotiations, the two envoys from Dashi were finally led into the tent of the Chinese army. The leader was Soyansa, one of the commanders who led the attack on the mountain yesterday. , then bowed respectfully, covered his chest with one hand, and saluted very respectfully.

"Well, come on, what's the point here?"

Soyansa spoke Arabic, and a Persian translator on the side translated it into Chinese. After Lin Chengbin listened to it, he didn't say anything, but just said indifferently.

"Dear General of the Tang Dynasty, your two countries have been doing business all year round. They are originally friendly countries. Today, some unpleasant things have happened. The war has been tragic and both sides have suffered injuries. It is not the original intention of our Dashi Empire. If a peace negotiation can be achieved, both sides will go their separate ways. Bing, our Dashi Empire is willing to be a friendly country of the Tang Dynasty forever, I wonder what the general wants?"

Soyanza was able to be sent out as an envoy, and his eloquence was good. He repeatedly emphasized the willingness of both parties to make peace, completely forgetting that just a few years ago, Datang sent an envoy Dashi to ask him not to invade Persia, but he was rejected. Dashi sternly rejected the past, as if Dashi and Datang had always been brothers and friendly countries.

"You have only one choice, and that is to surrender unconditionally. As for the rest, there is no room for negotiation!"

After Lin Chengbin listened quietly to the interpreter's translation, he looked at Soyansa expressionlessly, and stated the terms of peace calmly but resolutely.

"What? Unconditional surrender? General Tang, you are bullying too much. Our army still has a main force of [-]. If there is another war, it is hard to say who will win. This general..."

After listening to the interpreter's translation, Soyansa couldn't bear it anymore, and started yelling regardless.

"see a visitor out!"

What should be said has been finished, Lin Chengbin is too lazy to listen to Soyansa's nonsense, and he waved his hand without waiting for him to finish his words, and gave the order to evict the guest mercilessly.

"Hmph, wait and see!"

As soon as Lin Chengbin's voice fell, several personal guards who accompanied him rushed forward, posing to see off the guests. When Soyansa saw this, his face darkened in an instant, and he listened to the interpreter's translation After that, he stomped his feet resentfully, snorted coldly with a livid face, left behind a scene, and rushed back to the Chinese army's tent in the camp in desperation.

"What? Surrendering unconditionally is unreasonable. The Tang people are too rampant. How can we be humiliated like this!"

"It's too much. This is deceiving me to eat and eat no one. Your Excellency Governor, you just give the order. I will fight to the death!"

"Yes, fight, we still have [-] elite soldiers, who can kill the people of Tang. Your Excellency, just order it!"

After hearing the peace conditions brought back by Soyansa, all the big food generals who had already gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army and waited for the news immediately exploded. They all blushed and jumped up thickly, and the crowd was excited The land wanted to fight Tang Jun to the end, and for a while, the big tent was full of shouts and shouts.

hit?It's easy to say, but with what to fight, the generals are out of righteous indignation for a moment, and they can use their hearts, but the soldiers below are already frightened, what can an army with no morale to speak of fight against The incomparably powerful Tang army resisted, and if the fight continued, there would be no other results except for the lives of more soldiers in vain. In this regard, since the defeat yesterday, Mustafa Ibn Yang has become It is extremely clear that the reason why the envoy was sent this time was nothing more than to strive for a decent surrender, but Tang Jun obviously did not intend to give him such a chance, which made Mustafa Ibn Yang heartbroken Besides, I couldn't help being a little ashamed and annoyed. I wish I could agree to the generals' request for a battle, and raise troops to fight the Tang army to the end. It's a pity that he couldn't, because he was not only the leader of the army, but also the governor of the eastern province. He had to think about the lives of the [-] sons under his command, not to mention the [-] families behind the [-] sons. He couldn't and didn't want to see the tragedy of the destruction of so many families.

"I have made up my mind, as long as the Tang people can guarantee the safety of everyone in our army, then... surrender!"

Mustafa Ibnyan thought quietly until all the generals stopped, then slowly stood up, and gave the command in a heavy tone.

"My lord, no, our army still has the strength to fight, how can we just surrender like this?"

"My lord, it must not be done. If our army surrenders, our lives will be at the mercy of the people. If there is a change, how can we get it?"

"My lord, I can't surrender. Our army can still fight again. The true god will surely bless us, my lord!"

Upon hearing Mustafa Ibnyan's decision, the generals immediately panicked and began to speak out.

"I have made up my mind. You don't need to say any more. I will bear all the infamy. If anyone wants to fight, then please go ahead and prepare!"

Mustafa Ibnyan obviously didn't want to talk any more about the war and surrender, and arbitrarily gave the order to die. The generals saw that he had already said all the words, so they couldn't say more. After looking at each other, they all retreated dejectedly, leaving Mustafa Ibnyan weeping alone in the tent.
