"Run away?" Tang Ao was not surprised by this result. After all, he hardly saw any South Vietnamese cavalry along the way. He must have been afraid and fled.
"Yes, he ran away, but he probably didn't run long. We might be able to catch up." Zuo Zhuang nodded and said.
"Forget it." Tang Ao shook his head lightly. He had no idea which direction Qiu Suisui had fled to and how to pursue him. If they dispersed and pursued, the South Vietnamese Army had 50,000 cavalry. In case of a small group of cavalry,
When we faced off against someone else's main force, we still didn't know who was going to die.
Besides, the war is not over yet. There are still many slave soldiers resisting, especially in the north, where the first and fourth field armies are fighting fiercely with the enemy. I am afraid there will be casualties at every breath. The most important thing to do is to provide support.
them.
"Forget it?" Zuo Zhuang was a little puzzled when he heard this answer. Obviously he hated Qiu Suisui very much, and what he wanted to do most was to kill him and give his head to Tang Ao.
"Yes, now is not the time to chase the enemy. What we should do most is to support the first and fourth field armies. Okay, turn around and fight north." Tang Ao nodded and gave the order resolutely.
Tang Ao said this, and naturally no one else could question it. Regardless of whether everyone had other ideas at the moment, all they could do was follow Tang Ao and kill to the north.
However, what everyone didn't know was how right Tang Ao was in not ordering the pursuit. Because on the way to escape, Qiu Suisui was not idle, but set up pocket formations. As long as the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army really came after them,
Unless all the cavalry arrive, they will be surrounded from all sides.
Once there, you really don't know who is chasing whom.
Fortunately, Tang Ao kept his head clear and did not act impulsively because of his temporary loyalty, which made Qiu Suisui's arrangement meaningless. When he learned that no one was chasing him, he could only be reluctant to do so.
The idea of withdrawing back to the south of Xiangzhou.
Northland, the earliest place of the Night War, is currently undergoing a very cruel and bloody battle.
More than 200,000 troops were fighting here. When more and more slave soldiers surrounded them from all directions, the Dahua Army was the first, and the four field armies were divided into countless segments, fighting to the death with the enemies approaching them.
struggle.
The weather in August has become cooler at night. When attacking, the soldiers of the Chinese Army put their armor on their bodies. This allowed them to reduce a large proportion of casualties during the battle and allowed them to face far more people than they did.
When using slave soldiers, it can still occupy a considerable advantage.
Even before the attack, the soldiers already knew the significance of being the first wave of people to attack. To put it bluntly, they were the bait, the bait that lured the giant snake out of its hole. But no one proposed it.
Objections.
This is how fighting is originally done. If you are allowed to fight others, then others are allowed to fight you.
From the moment they put on armor and picked up weapons, their lives no longer belonged to themselves, but to the country of Dahua.
Now that the country is in need and needs them to be the vanguard, it will hit them without hesitation. The Chinese Army has the best pension system in the world. Whether they are dead or injured, their families will have no worries about food and clothing.
Even so, what is there to be afraid of?
In the words of the time, if you die in battle, you will die in battle. That is how your fate should be. At worst, you will be a good man again in eighteen years.
Besides, their opponents are too weak. Apart from being larger in number, they don't have any advantage, that is, the weapons in their hands rarely contain iron. And as long as they can follow what they have shown in their usual training, they will
Casualties and injuries can be minimized.
This is indeed the case. When the two sides started fighting, the momentum of the slave soldiers was quite fierce, but when their weapons that could not be called weapons hit the armor of the Great Chinese Army soldiers, the damage they could do was very limited.
, it is impossible to kill someone with one blow. At most, it will only make certain parts of the body of the soldiers of the Dahua Army bruised and swollen.
Often at this time, the soldiers of the Great Chinese Army would fight back desperately. Once their weapons fell on the slave soldiers, it would not only be a simple injury, but there would be many killed and seriously injured.
The superiority of weapons allowed the first four field armies to hold off opponents that were nearly twice their size. Then when Tang Ao led his cavalry to appear behind the slave soldiers, the battle began to turn out to be one-sided.
When the bright silver spears and long spears came with the speed and power of the horses, wherever the cavalry passed by, they would bring up a bloody storm, and the corpses of slave soldiers would fall to the ground.
"Your masters, the South Vietnamese Army, have escaped. Why are you still holding on here? Give up your weapons and kneel down immediately to give you a chance to live, otherwise, you will die!" Hengdao immediately stood up, and Tang Ao was standing behind the Snow Jade White Dragon.
, the inner energy guided the sound to sound like a loud bell, ringing towards the battlefield.
Tang Ao was angry and hated these slave soldiers.
What makes them angry is that they are so unsatisfactory that they are used by foreigners, and they don't even dare to resist. Such people are better off dead than alive.
What is hateful is that, as cadres, they acted as the accomplices of the tiger. They actually made enemies of the Chinese army, injured their own soldiers, and did such a thing that hurt their relatives and made their enemies happy.
According to Tang Ao's character, he wanted to kill all these people. But he is the emperor now, not a man who enjoys grudges and grudges. He can do whatever he wants. In his current position, every time he does something
Every time, it will bring far-reaching significance, and what he does also represents the image of the entire Great China.
Think about it, these slave soldiers are just forced by others. Think about it carefully, they are out of necessity. So he is willing to give them a chance. If these people are South Vietnamese, Tang Ao will probably not even have the chance to surrender.
Gave it to them.
Tang Ao shouted like this, and the sound spread far away. After hearing this, some slave soldiers who were still holding wooden sticks to fight against the soldiers of the Great Chinese Army first looked around, and sure enough, there was no one who usually monitored them.
South Vietnamese cavalry, and then looked around, they were all fierce-looking Chinese cavalry wearing black armor, holding sharp weapons.
The situation is so clear that if they continue to fight, they will only die, and there is no hope of victory. Not to mention, this battle is not what they want to fight in the first place. They just want to have a bite of food, in order to be able to survive.
Just to survive.
"No more fighting, I surrendered!"
"So-and-so has also surrendered. Don't kill so-and-so."
"I'm hungry, please give me a mouthful of food. Just take one bite..."
"So is a certain person. He is so hungry that he has no strength left and is about to starve to death..."
Various shouts soon started to sound everywhere. Everywhere you looked, you could see the slave soldiers throwing away their wooden sticks and surrendering. When the soldiers of the Chinese Army who were fighting with them, some of whom were already exhausted, saw this,
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
It is difficult for the weapons of these slave soldiers to hurt them, but if the fight continues like this, it will be very laborious in the melee. They are not Tang Ao, they have twin veins and the cultivation of a grandmaster. They are ordinary people.
, when your strength will be exhausted.
And once you lose strength, if there are slave soldiers around you, they will really kill you, and even snatch your weapons and armor.
The Dahua infantry breathed a sigh of relief. The surrounding Shanshan Guards did not relax. They were patrolling around with torches. Whenever they found any slave soldiers who wanted to resist or had other bad behaviors, they would not say a word.
The arrow will shoot far away.
There will inevitably be accidental injuries, but no one cares about it anymore. Whether in the eyes of Tang Ao or Shanshan Guard, the lives of the soldiers of the Great Chinese Army are precious. In order to protect one of their own soldiers, they
Even if he accidentally killed ten slave soldiers, it was worth it.
This is the battlefield, where no one will ever talk to you about morality and justice. Here it is just about who has a harder fist and who is stronger.
The sky gradually grew brighter, and more and more slave soldiers put down their weapons and were gathered together. Surrounding them were soldiers of the Chinese Army holding weapons. As the sky began to get brighter, teams of captive soldiers marched towards
We walked to the rear, where the logistics staff had already prepared food, including a bowl of gruel for each person and dry food as big as a fist.
For the captives who have been hungry for a long time, this is already a very good thing. Their bodies are not suitable for overeating now. It will only harm others. Besides, Tang Ao will not allow them to eat to their fullest.
, what if you resist after eating?
These are 170,000 captured soldiers. Their strength is not far different from that of the Chinese army here. This is a big time bomb, and good means must be used to ensure sufficient safety.
Of course, these people will not eat for free. They will be sent to the rear to build roads, focusing on the road from Qingzhou to Xiangzhou. If all kinds of logistics materials are to be transported in, it will not work without a good transportation environment.
of.
"Tell the soldiers from Qingzhou to come and watch them. If anyone dares to cause trouble or cause trouble, don't be inconsiderate. They will be punished according to the law." Tang Ao looked at the batches of captive soldiers lining up in front of him, and his words were unclear.
With a hint of emotion.
Being able to keep these prisoners and take care of their food is the greatest kindness. If these people become prisoners of any other force, the result that awaits them will be to go to the battlefield or die in the end.
That's all.
It can be said that Tang Ao gave them a new way of life and hope in life. But if they don't know how to take advantage of it, then I'm sorry. Tang Ao will not give these people the same opportunity a second time.
