Chapter 654: Capturing the King of Donghu [Please subscribe*Please vote]

When a large army loses its command and organization, they are even less lethal than a pig.

"How rude!" Meng Tian looked at the scattered army around him and felt somewhat bored.

If the Donghu could divide the army into five armies: front, back, left, right and center, when the other armies lost contact with the center army, the other armies could continue to fight under the command of the main general and preserve their combat effectiveness.

Unfortunately, the Donghu did not seem to have such an organization. When the central army retreated, the other armies also fell into chaos.

Meng Yi also felt a little emotional. They did indeed overestimate the Donghu.

But after so many years on the grassland, they all understood that this was the limitation of the alliance system, and no grassland king dared to trust other tribes.

If the King of Donghu really dared to let other tribes become leaders of a large army, the consequence would most likely be that those army leaders would be the first to stand up and challenge the royal authority when things were hopeless.

And it is impossible for the King of Donghu to have the ability to command a large army and control dozens or hundreds of battle lines at the same time.

The last person who did this, General Li Ren, now has white hair and is bald.

There are only about five people in the world who have this ability, and the King of Donghu is obviously not one of them.

"Don't worry about anything else, the primary target is still the central army's banner!" Meng Tian had no intention of changing the order.

There is still a missing flag of the King of Donghu under the Beiye Royal City.

Only by obtaining the Donghu King’s flag can Bingzhou truly be called the number one overlord on the grassland!

Among all the overlords on the grassland, the only one missing now is the flag of the King of Donghu!
Therefore, even the King of Donghu was not as important as the King of Donghu's flag in Meng Tian's eyes.

The royal flag is fixed, but the King of Donghu is not!

Therefore, the White Tiger and Red Flame Cavalry, who had not received any other military orders, continued to pursue the banner of the Donghu Central Army unwaveringly, destroying any obstacles that stood in their way.

In order to escape, the King of Donghu and the Donghu nobles tried to pull as many troops as possible behind them to try to stop the pursuit of the Red Flame Cavalry and the White Tigers.

However, the defeat was so great that doing so would be like adding fuel to the fire.

The White Tiger and Red Flame Cavalry did not stop at all, and kept getting closer and closer to the Donghu flag.

As for being tired?
You are tired, and the other person is even more tired!

It is enough to just persist longer than the other party.

In particular, the Donghu soldiers were already terrified and did not dare to approach the central army's banner.

They originally came from the tribal alliance, but they have no loyalty at all.

If it were normal times, the prestige of the Donghu Chanyu would still be there, and they could gather around the Donghu royal court and follow his orders.

But now, the King of Donghu can't even protect himself, who would continue to obey orders and die?
Therefore, the army that appeared in front of the White Tiger and the Red Flame Cavalry became smaller and smaller, and more and more scattered. There was even no need for the White Tiger and the Red Flame Cavalry to charge. They just walked by quietly, and the Donghu army that had originally blocked their way fled in all directions and made way.

"Abandon the king's flag!" The Prime Minister of Donghu knew that it would not be a good idea to continue like this, so he only took a small group of elite troops to protect the King of Donghu and retreated to the heartland of Donghu.

As for Wang Qi and other nobles, it will all be up to fate.

As long as they can return to the Donghu royal court, they will still have a chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, without anyone knowing, the King of Donghu and the Prime Minister of Donghu changed into soldiers' clothes, quietly left the main Donghu army with a small group of elite troops, and evacuated through a small path.

"I said that the other party would definitely abandon the army and escape!" And behind the Donghu, a battalion of cavalry had already left the main force, passed through the Donghu army, and ambushed on a small road in the rear in advance.

"Not bad!" Han Xin smiled and patted his deputy's shoulder. In the army, it was difficult for him to notice the escape of the King of Donghu.

But the deputy general was very good. He was from the Shesheng Camp of the Yulin Guard and had a photographic memory. As long as he had met someone, he could clearly remember the other person's appearance and movement posture.

Especially the latter, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Although the King of Donghu and the Prime Minister of Donghu changed their attire and simple disguise, their movements and postures were difficult to change in a short period of time, so the deputy general remembered them.

Therefore, when the King of Donghu and the Prime Minister of Donghu fled to this path with their personal guards, they were recognized by the deputy general after just a slight identification.

"Where is the Great Chanyu going?" Han Xin smiled and led his soldiers to surround the King of Donghu.

Neither the King of Donghu nor the Prime Minister of Donghu had expected that there were ambushes behind them, and that the troops had such a clear grasp of the terrain of Donghu.

You have to know that the route they took to escape was a small road that few people in the Donghu knew about. Bingzhou actually had a clear grasp of their map, even better than they themselves.

"Charge!" Prime Minister Donghu ordered.

If they can't break through this blockade, they're finished!
However, Han Xin and the thousand cavalrymen under his command were lying across the path like a solid wall.

"If I let you guys charge ahead, my other colleagues will laugh at me to death!" Han Xin sneered as he looked at the charging Donghu King's cavalry.

So what even if you are the most elite cavalry of Donghu?
If you can't break through the defense of the Red Flame Cavalry, you will just have to wait for death.

This is a battle without any suspense.

The Red Flame Cavalry was like a mountain, blocking the King of Donghu's way back to his kingdom.

"Stop!" The King of Donghu finally couldn't bear to see his soldiers suffer casualties in vain, so he stood up.

"Stop attacking!" Han Xin also gave the order.

"I am the Chanyu of Donghu. Who is the general in front?" The King of Donghu stepped out from the crowd.

"I'm Han Xin, a general under General Meng Tian from Bingzhou and Chiyan Cavalry. I'd like to meet the Great Chanyu of Donghu!" Han Xin also stood up with respect for the king.

"A minor general?" The King of Donghu and the Prime Minister of Donghu looked at each other. They had never expected that they would be captured by a small minor general.

"Very good, now I am your prisoner!" The Donghu Chanyu took off his clothes, knelt in front of Han Xin, grabbed the dust on the ground and put it on his head.

This represents submission on the grassland.

Han Xin was also aware of this and shifted his attention from the King of Donghu to the other soldiers and the Prime Minister of Donghu.

"Put down your weapons and surrender!" The King of Donghu knew what Han Xin meant, so he turned to the other soldiers who still wanted to resist and said.

As the elite cavalry of the King of Donghu, they had never thought that one day they would have to accept surrender.

But there was no way out. The King of Donghu had already given the order, and no matter how unwilling they were, they had to lay down their weapons and become Han Xin's prisoners.

"We made the right bet this time!" Han Xin said with a smile.

Ordered the soldiers to accept the surrender of the King of Donghu.

But even though he was a prisoner, he was still the King of Donghu, so Han Xin and others did not dare to neglect him and gave him the treatment he deserved as a king.
