"The cavalry troops attack and clean the battlefield!"
The gunfire has stopped, but the smoke is still filling the air. There is a dead silence all around. Not only the Tang army officers and soldiers in formation are silent, but also the more than 100,000 food troops on the other side of the river are silent. Everyone's eyes are focused on the post-war battle.
On the messy battlefield, a strange aura hovered and spread on both sides of the bank, but Xiao Sanlang remained completely unmoved. He took a deep breath and gave the order coldly.
"No, attack!"
Although they knew that once their own army launched an attack, it was destined to be a crushing victory, the cavalry officers and soldiers still did not expect that the battle ended so quickly. From the beginning to the end, there was not even time for a cup of tea.
Even less than that, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. As soon as Xiao Sanlang's order was given, the leading captain just woke up from a dream, hurriedly roared, and led his troops out of the formation, but at this time, everyone
The food army had already finished its game, and all the Tang army's cavalry could do was to escort the prisoners of war, which really made the cavalry unable to cheer up.
"well……"
Looking at the cavalry of the Tang Army on the other side of the river, Mustafa Ibn Yang looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. Two tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't give any more orders and just lowered his head.
He rode his horse towards the Chinese army's tent. Seeing this, all the generals hurriedly followed him. However, the more than 100,000 soldiers arrayed on the scene were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at the other side of the river.
"Tsk, tsk, Saburo leads a good army. I didn't expect that the 'wooden army' back then has become such a bad thing now."
On the top of the main peak, Li He witnessed an army battalion wipe out five hundred food troops so easily. Li He was so excited that he couldn't help but sigh.
"Um."
As Li Xian's most useful confidant, Lin Chengbin knew the power of the Army. He also knew that in the near future, the Army would definitely replace the existing infantry. As a veteran of the Army, Xiao Sanlang's future development prospects would definitely be
There was a bright light, and even though Lin Chengbin was calm-minded, he couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. However, he had no intention of showing the admiration and admiration in his heart. In response to Li He's words, he just said a noncommittal word, which was regarded as an answer.
Passed.
"Brother Lin, the rebel army cannot break through the siege and cannot cross the river. The morale of the army has been exhausted. I am afraid this battle is almost over. If all the rebel army surrenders, our army will not have that much ration supply. I wonder what Brother Lin plans to do?
"
Although Li He is not old, only in his early thirties, he is old for fighting. Needless to say, his strategic vision is sharp. He can tell at a glance that the food army no longer has any fighting spirit.
, then we started thinking about how to arrange things after the war.
"His Highness has explained this matter. Our army will not participate. It will be entirely handled by the King of Persia."
Lin Chengbin was as attentive as his hair. He had already thought about everything Li He could think of, but he didn't take it to heart because Li Xian had explained it before the expedition.
"Master Ni Nirvana? Haha, where will that kid find all that food? Well..."
Li Hesu didn't like Master Ni Nirvana, who was incompetent in both culture and martial arts. Hearing what Lin Chengbin said, he couldn't help but despise Master Ni Nirvana. However, when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
After realizing this, he was slightly startled, and his face instantly brightened. However, people around him were too talkative, and Li He did not dare to speak out his guesses.
"Just take a look."
Lin Chengbin only looked at Li He's face and knew that he understood the key to the matter, but he didn't express anything special, he just replied casually and calmly.
"General, look, there's something going on in the bandit camp!"
Lin Chengbin didn't want to talk, and Li He couldn't bring up the topic anymore. The conversation between the two stopped abruptly. The atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward, but at this moment, the sentry's exclamation broke the dullness. Shatter, Lin, and Li heard the noise, and they were all freed from their confusion. They each took out the monocular binoculars on their waists and aimed in the direction of the Dashi camp. When they saw it, they saw two riders riding towards the camp. Rushing from the direction of the main peak, a Dashi soldier at the head was holding a white flag in his hand, and another general in chainmail followed closely behind.
"Well, we're here for negotiation, but it's coming very quickly."
Li He only took one look and guessed the purpose of the two riders. He was too lazy to look any further, put down the telescope in his hand, curled his lips in disdain, and muttered.
"Let's go."
Lin Chengbin also didn't look much. After taking a glance, he turned around and ignored Li He's mumbling. He just said indifferently and walked towards the Chinese army camp behind the mountain. When He saw this, he didn't want to say anything more. He just shrugged his shoulders with unclear meaning and chased after him silently...
"The great General of the Tang Dynasty, the last general of the Great Eclipse Empire, the Military Commander of Balkh City in Khorasan, the Eastern Province, Soyanza Vikhez, would like to send you my greetings on behalf of His Excellency Mustafa Ibnyan, the Governor of the Eastern Province. The highest respect.”
After some negotiations, the two food envoys were finally led into the Chinese army's tent. The leader was none other than Soyanza, one of the commanders who led his troops to attack the mountain yesterday. , he bowed respectfully, covered his chest with one hand, and greeted him very respectfully.
"Well, tell me, what's the point of coming here?"
Soyanza spoke in Arabic, and the Persian translator on the side translated it into Chinese. After Lin Chengbin listened, he didn't say anything, and just said indifferently.
"Dear General of the Tang Dynasty, our two countries have been doing business all year round and are friendly countries. However, some unpleasant things have happened today. The war has been fierce and both sides have suffered damage. This is not the original intention of our great food empire. If we can get a peace agreement, both sides will give up. Soldier, our Dashi Empire is willing to be a friendly country to the Tang Dynasty forever, I wonder what the general wants?"
Soyanza was sent out as an envoy, so he was very eloquent. He repeatedly emphasized the desire for peace between the two sides. He completely forgot that just a few years ago, the Tang Dynasty had sent an envoy to Dashi, asking him not to invade the Persian state, but he was rejected. The past incident of Dashi's stern refusal is as if Dashi and Tang Dynasty have always been friendly countries as close as brothers.
"You have only one choice, and that is to surrender unconditionally. As for the rest, there is no room for negotiation!"
After Lin Chengbin quietly listened to the interpreter's translation, he looked at Soyanza with no expression, and stated the conditions for peace in a calm but firm tone.
"What? Unconditional surrender? General Datang, you are going too far. Our army still has a main force of 100,000. If the war breaks out again, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose. I, general..."
After listening to the interpreter's translation, Soyanza couldn't bear it anymore and started yelling regardless.
"see a visitor out!"
Having already said what needed to be said, Lin Chengbin was too lazy to listen to Soyanza's nonsense. Without even waiting for him to finish what he said, he waved his hand and issued the eviction order mercilessly.
"Hmph, let's wait and see!"
As soon as Lin Chengbin finished speaking, several personal guards who were accompanying him rushed forward and assumed the posture of seeing off the guests. As soon as Soyangsa saw this, his face darkened instantly. After listening to the interpreter's translation
After that, he stomped his feet bitterly, snorted coldly with a livid face, dropped a few words of courtesy, and rode back to the Chinese army's tent in the camp with no choice.
"What? Unconditional surrender is unreasonable. The Tang people are too rampant. How can we suffer this humiliation!"
"This is too much. This is to deceive me into eating too much. Governor, just give me the order. We are willing to fight to the death!"
"Yes, fight. We still have 100,000 elite soldiers, and a pile of them can kill the Tang people. Lord Governor, please give the order!"
…
As soon as they heard the peace conditions brought back by Soyanza, the generals who had already gathered in the Chinese army's tent to wait for the news immediately went crazy. Everyone blushed and jumped up, and the crowd was excited.
Di wanted to fight the Tang army to the end, and for a while the whole tent was filled with the sounds of fighting and killing.
Fighting? It's easy to say, but what can we use to fight? The generals are certainly indignant for a moment, and they can be considered as generals, but the soldiers below are already frightened. What can an army with no morale at all do?
To contend with the extremely powerful Tang army, if the fight continues, apart from losing more lives of soldiers in vain, there will be no other consequences at all. This point, since yesterday's defeat, Mustafa Ibn Yang has
He had seen it very clearly. The reason why he sent the envoy this time was just to win a decent surrender. However, the Tang army obviously did not intend to give him such a chance. This made Mustafa Ibn Yang
Apart from being sad, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and annoyed. I really wanted to agree to the generals' request for war and raise troops to fight the Tang army to the end. It was a pity that he couldn't, because he was not only the general who led the army, but also the governor of the Eastern Province.
, he had to consider the lives of the one hundred thousand men under his command, not to mention that there were one hundred thousand families behind these one hundred thousand men, and he could not and did not want to see the tragedy of destroying 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... we will surrender!"
Mustafa Ibn Yang thought quietly until all the generals calmed down, then slowly stood up and issued the surrender order in a deep tone.
"Sir, you can't do that. Our army still has the strength to fight. How can we surrender like this?"
"Sir, you must not do this. If our army surrenders, our lives will be in our hands. What if something changes?"
"Sir, we can't surrender. Our army can still fight. The true God in heaven will definitely bless us, sir!"
…
Upon hearing Mustafa Ibnyan's decision, the generals immediately panicked and began to express their opinions one after another.
"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 down and prepare!"
Mustafa Ibn Yan obviously did not want to discuss the matter of war and surrender any more, and issued the death order arbitrarily. When the generals saw that he had already spoken to this extent, they could not say more.
After looking at each other, they all retreated in despair, leaving Mustafa Ibnyan alone in the tent crying...
