The four looked at each other, obviously weighing the pros and cons. Finally, after a quiet discussion, they reached a consensus. As a representative, Foberle spoke up, "My Lord, we are willing to accept this mission. However, you have to promise us that this is the last mission and you must not regret it."
"After you complete your mission, you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace." Lin Xiaofeng promised solemnly, "This is not only the promise of the court, but also the promise of this marquis as a man! I believe you can do it."
After hearing this, the four of them nodded in agreement. Although they looked tired, their eyes were shining with determination. Obviously, they had been moved by Lin Xiaofeng's words and decided to accept this difficult task.
In the central army tent, the King of Hanjiang sat in the middle, his military uniform reflecting his majesty. Although he was a little tired from the continuous marching and planning, his deep eyes shone with a brilliant light that could not be ignored, as if he could see through everything. On his left and right sat the loyal team that followed him all the way from Jingjiang, their faces were full of determination and resolve.
The Hanjiang King never delegated power to foreigners in the management of the army. Even though most of the soldiers were recruited from foreign parishes, the core power was always firmly in the hands of his own people. This rigorous management model also reflects his wisdom and decisiveness.
"Did the scouts bring back any news?" King Hanjiang asked in a deep voice, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
General Jianwei Su Hao immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the scouts have already heard the enemy's situation. Jingjiang is still advancing, but their formation seems very sloppy and their vigilance is obviously insufficient."
"In addition," Su Hao continued, "our scouts also encountered Jingjiang's scout team. I guess the other side has been on high alert now."
After hearing this, King Hanjiang nodded calmly and said, "Tomorrow, the two armies will meet. We must be fully prepared."
He knew very well that this war was of great significance to him. It was not only to recapture the lost Jingjiang, but also to reshape his world and give those soldiers who followed him to leave their homes a chance to go down in history.
"Although my nephew is simple-minded," Prince Hanjiang snorted, "but since my brother dared to let him lead the troops, he must be assisted by experienced generals. And Lin Xiaofeng, this person should not be underestimated. The intelligence work must be confirmed again and again, and we cannot make any omissions."
Su Hao nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The spies sent by the Razor Society have also returned the information, and we have verified it with them. The information they have obtained is indeed correct."
"That's good." Prince Hanjiang stood up and scanned the generals in the tent with his piercing eyes. "I came to the west from Jingjiang, although it was not my wish, but I am deeply gratified that you generals have condescended to come here. Tomorrow is the day to avenge our humiliation and restore our country. If we win this battle, we can reshape the world, be crowned kings and prime ministers, and leave our names in history!"
The generals were filled with anger when they heard this! Although they followed the King of Hanjiang to settle in the west and lived a stable and wealthy life, their love for their homeland never faded. Now, they finally got the chance to return to Jingjiang and reshape the world. Even though they were old, they were willing to fight for this dream.
"Bring me some wine!" Hanjiang Wang was filled with pride, "I want to drink with you all!"
As the servants brought in the fine wine, the atmosphere in the tent reached a climax. Each person had a bowl of wine, and the king and his subjects raised their bowls and drank them all! The sound of breaking wine resounded throughout the tent, and the King of Hanjiang once again shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
At the same time, in the Jingjiang Army, Lin Xiaofeng was standing on a high platform to mobilize the troops before the war. He took off his military uniform and put on his official robes. He looked energetic and high-spirited. Facing the speeches of 200,000 soldiers, he seemed to have become the protagonist in a movie, waving his arms passionately.
"My soldiers from Jingjiang! Tomorrow may be the moment of the decisive battle!" Lin Xiaofeng's voice resounded throughout the entire army. "His Majesty has decided to reward the three armies before the battle! Each person will receive five taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, the army was immediately excited. The soldiers cheered and hugged each other to celebrate. Even some soldiers at the back who couldn't hear the speech could feel the joy from the reactions of those around them.
"In this battle!" Lin Xiaofeng continued to shout, "His Majesty is with you! Your performance is in full view! If you can achieve a great victory! You will be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister! Your name will go down in history!"
As soon as the last word "Shi" came out, Lin Xiaofeng shouted with an intoxicated look on his face. He leaned slightly, waiting for the soldiers' response like a tsunami.
"Long live Jingjiang! Long live His Majesty!" The soldiers in the front row roared loudly, the sound was deafening. The soldiers behind followed suit, and the shouts spread out like waves...
When Lin Xiaofeng walked down the platform, Li Dexian came up to him and said with a smile: "Old Lin, it has to be you! The morale is boosted immediately!"
"Haha," Lin Xiaofeng responded with a gasp, "That's nothing." He then took a few gulps of water from the water bag and continued, "Your Majesty, why do you like fighting so much? We haven't even started the battle yet, and you're already exhausted like a dead dog."
Li Dexian laughed after hearing this, "Weren't we young then? I don't want to bother with this anymore... Let's go after we have rested up. I can't wait any longer!"
The scene of the two armies marching at the same time was shocking. Countless troops under the Hanjiang King marched towards Jingjiang from three directions, like three steel torrents converging into an unstoppable force. Jingjiang was also on high alert, with a large number of scouts sent out to investigate the enemy's news in real time. When the last wave of scouts brought news, Li Dexian raised his right hand and ordered: "Stop! Dig trenches!"
As the order was issued, the entire army began to dig in an orderly manner. Soon a long U-shaped trench was dug out. The musketeers and Jinyiwei jumped into the pit to organize their equipment and prepare for battle, while the rest of the soldiers lined up neatly around the trench waiting for orders.
Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian jumped into the trench at the same time, lying on the edge to observe the enemy's situation. They were filled with tension and anticipation, waiting for the upcoming decisive battle.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
The army of the King of Han River surged forward like a dark swarm of ants, their numbers so great that they seemed to devour the entire earth. At a glance, it was filled with crowds of people, flashing armor, like a silver ocean, surging and boundless.
In a hidden trench, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian were nervously staring at the enemy ahead. They held binoculars and clasped their fingers tightly around the edge of the trench, their knuckles turning white from excessive force.
"You say... does that villain dare to come to the battlefield in person? Has he come?" Li Dexian's voice trembled a little. Although he was a general who had experienced many battles, he couldn't help feeling a little fear in his heart when facing such a large enemy army.
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at him, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "Tathagata."
"Tathagata? What does this mean?" Li Dexian asked with a frown.
"It's possible that he will come, but it's unlikely." Xie Hongxin explained.
Li Dexian was stunned for a moment, then stared at Xie Hongxin with wide eyes: "Brother Hongxin is still wise." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Oh, I'm so nervous now."
Behind them, a group of generals were also holding binoculars, looking into the distance with serious eyes. They said nothing, but their eyes revealed deep worry. Facing such a large enemy force, they felt unprecedented pressure.
"It's terrible! The enemy's strength is unprecedented!" exclaimed a general.
"Yes, and Jingjiang not only did not retreat, but chose to stay where they are and wait for the enemy to arrive. Where does their confidence come from? How can they win this battle?" asked another general in confusion.
Everyone was silent, as they all knew that this battle would be extremely difficult. Jingjiang's only advantage might be its slightly higher terrain, but facing such a large enemy force, this geographical advantage was almost negligible.
At this time, the Hanjiang King's army continued to appear, seemingly endless. Mod's face was tense, and the muscles on his cheeks kept throbbing. He finally couldn't help it and said to the people around him: "Everyone, let's stay away from it. It doesn't seem very safe here."
Everyone nodded in agreement: "That makes sense, let's retreat a little further!"
・・・・・・・・・・
In front of the Hanjiang King's army, Su Hao rode his horse and stood at the front. He looked up at the Jingjiang army in front of him, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He turned and reported to the Hanjiang King: "Your Majesty! The time has come, waiting for orders at any time!"
The King of Hanjiang used a telescope to search for Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng, but to no avail. He raised his right hand but did not lower it, because once he lowered it, it would mean that a million-strong army would come out immediately. It is no exaggeration to say that such a large force concentrated in one battle is unprecedented... However, once the decision to attack is made, it can never be withdrawn. The army attacked and the two armies fought. The only result of this million-strong army is loss of control...
Seeing that the King of Hanjiang was still hesitating, Su Hao urged him, "Your Majesty! What are you still hesitating about? The arrow is on the string and must be shot!" The King of Hanjiang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His eyes slowly closed, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and chopped down with his right hand, with a resolute tone in his tone: "Kill!"
Following the order from King Hanjiang, Su Hao took the lead and took a detour to reach the front. The flag officers in the army raised their flags high, and continuous flag orders were transmitted from the back to the front until Su Hao also arrived in front of the formation. The two sides were more than two miles apart, and the army began to march frantically and quickly.
Seeing the enemy troops rushing in like a tide, Lin Xiaofeng held his breath and sweat already covered his forehead. Li Dexian beside him also widened his eyes nervously. He saw the opportunity and shouted: "Fire with the solid cannon!!!"
As the military order was passed, the artillery array that had been set up outside the army moved according to the order! Hundreds of artillery burst into flames, shells soared into the sky and filled with smoke. Jingjiang fired the first shot. The shells flew high in the air and hit the opposite army formation that was like a vast ocean, but did not stir up many waves. This was exactly the decision that Li Dexian had thought of in advance.
Su Hao was in a relatively safe area, watching the shells fly into the army, causing a small commotion, and frowned slightly. But he also knew that this was expected, because His Majesty had already told him in advance.
Rumble... Countless soldiers and horses came from three sides to encircle the Jingjiang army. The mountains and plains were filled with crowds of people, and the horses' hooves were trampling the ground. Although Lin Xiaofeng had seen countless big scenes, he was also deeply shocked by this scene! He felt short of breath when he thought about the handover between the two armies.
Six hundred meters... The divine punishment weapons began to fire at the Jingjiang position. As the artillery arrays of both sides fired at each other, the front-line soldiers under the command of King Hanjiang sped up and rushed towards Lin Xiaofeng and others under the fire! There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses rushing to the first wave. Many people began to fall... But for the army of King Hanjiang, they were just a drop in the bucket. After falling, they could be easily replaced and then continue the attack! No one dared to retreat and no one could retreat!
Four hundred meters, three hundred meters... In just a short distance, countless people died under the artillery fire. The enemy was getting closer and closer. Li Dexian's breathing slowed down, and the noise around his ears seemed to have weakened. He looked a little excited: "Old Lin, it's time to take out the Gate of Hell."
"Hmm..." Lin Xiaofeng responded, and then a long flag was raised in the trench and waved in the air. The front formation of the Jingjiang army began to prepare for a three-stage shooting posture. At the same time, the Jinyiwei scattered throughout the army also began to pick up their equipment. One thousand people picked up submachine guns, four hundred people began to load infantry artillery, and there were 600 Jinyiwei... A group of three people lifted a long and heavy musket from the box beside them. A brass bullet chain hung on the side and hung to the bottom of the box... This was the Maxim heavy machine gun that Lin Xiaofeng renamed - the Gate of Hell!
It was the heavy machine gun that caused Emperor Jingjiang to abdicate, and submachine guns and infantry guns were weapons developed later, many of which were inspired by the heavy machine gun. This Maxim heavy machine gun, which shone brilliantly in World War I and World War II, has now miraculously appeared on the ancient battlefield, and its appearance will undoubtedly change the direction of the entire war.
Lin Xiaofeng saw that Xie Hongxin had already set up the heavy machine gun, and his sense of security increased greatly. He let out a long breath and looked at the enemy in front of him with a firm gaze. Although they only had 2,000 people facing a million-strong army, Lin Xiaofeng believed that with the help of advanced weapons, they would definitely be able to win! The advantage is mine!
Countless enemies came rushing in like a tide, their figures flashing coldly in the sun, as if they were going to drown the entire battlefield. Looking around, the number of enemy troops seemed endless, making people despair.
However, in the face of this overwhelming enemy force, the army of the King of Han River did not retreat. They stood firmly on their positions, and hundreds of solid shells exploded around them, but it did not seem to have much impact on them. The artillery of the King of Han River had begun to gradually stop the shelling because they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people.
At this time, the large force had penetrated to only 200 meters away from the Jingjiang army and entered their shooting range. However, the Jingjiang soldiers remained motionless, as if they were waiting for something.
Li Dexian held the small flag tightly in his hand, looking for the best opportunity. He knew that only by pursuing the extreme distance could he achieve the greatest results. Although they had weapons that were beyond their time, the musketeers were still their important firepower support.
The enemy's vanguard troops, wearing armor and holding shields, were clearly well prepared. Ordinary muskets could hardly penetrate their defenses at extreme distances. However, Li Dexian was not worried, because he knew that the weapons in their hands were enough to change the situation.
Finally, Li Dexian raised the small flag in his hand high. The military order spread throughout the army like an electric current, and then, dense whistles sounded, resounding throughout the entire army. At this moment, all the soldiers holding guns pulled the trigger hard.
Da da da da da da da da! The muzzles of machine guns, submachine guns, and muskets flashed flames at the same time, and the dense gunfire gathered into a deafening symphony. The soldiers in Jingjiang were fully focused on meeting the enemy's attack, and their faces were full of determination and resolve.
All the carefully prepared defensive equipment was utterly destroyed in the face of such fierce firepower. The bullets had strong penetrating power, and neither armor nor shields could withstand their power. The enemy soldiers at the front were shot into sieves, and the whole place was thrown to the ground.
The cavalrymen in the rear could not see what was happening in front of them, and they still recklessly urged their horses to charge. However, their charge was doomed to be in vain. Before they landed, they had already bid farewell to this world forever.
At the same time, infantry guns and artillery also began to fire fiercely in the distance. Shrapnel shells drew arcs in the sky and then smashed into the enemy crowd. The iron beads and iron pieces inside the shells splashed out. Although the dense crowd reduced the killing effect, the power of the explosion was even more violent. Hundreds of enemy soldiers were blown away by the shells and fell to the ground in a bloody mess. The people around them had no time to dodge and were knocked all over the place. In just a dozen minutes, a mountain of corpses had piled up in front of the Jingjiang army's firing line.
Blood continued to flow out of the corpses, dyeing the entire land red. Some of the blood was still flowing and gathering into streams, as if telling the tragic and cruelty of this battle.
The heavy machine gunners who were lying in the trenches began to walk out of the trenches according to the military order, because their firing range was blocked by the piles of corpses. They attacked fiercely, and the muzzles of the heavy machine guns kept spitting out tongues of fire, sweeping down the enemy troops rushing up in large numbers.
However, in this fierce battle, weapons are bound to have problems. A heavy machine gun suddenly jammed, making a slight "click" sound. The three soldiers in charge of the machine gun immediately took action, and one of them quickly began to deal with the gun failure.
In their view, this was an old problem. Due to the imperfect precision of gun production and bullet manufacturing, jamming often occurred during drills. Therefore, they were already familiar with handling it, and quickly repaired the machine gun and put it back into battle.
Looking down at the battlefield from a high altitude, one could clearly see flames and smoke erupting one kilometer ahead of Hanjiang Wang's troops. A semicircular vacuum zone made of corpses had almost formed around Jingjiang. The scene was as tragic as hell on earth.
From the beginning, the battle was destined not to be a contest of equal strength, but more like a one-sided massacre. The enemy army completely responded to the enemy in the traditional way of war. They stood in a dense position, allowing Jingjiang's firepower to be fully utilized. Even if you close your eyes and shoot, you can hit the target every time. This scene reminds people of the scenes in later movies where earthlings fight alien bugs.
In the distance, the King of Hanjiang was soaked with sweat, and his eyes were full of powerlessness and despair. He seemed to be hit hard on the chest by a heavy hammer, and even breathing became difficult. Looking at the tragic battle scene in front of him, his heart was full of confusion and helplessness.
At first, he firmly believed that although the opponent's weapons were powerful, they would always have a chance to catch their breath, and as long as they fought hand-to-hand, they would be able to win with their manpower advantage. However, reality cruelly shattered his fantasy, and the opponent's attack showed no signs of weakening, but became more fierce.
The Prince of Hanjiang has fallen into a desperate situation, facing unprecedented difficulties and choices. There is no hope of a frontal breakthrough, and there are not enough resources to support the soldiers if they retreat from the rear; even if they defeat the soldiers of Jingjiang, they can retreat and defend the city to delay time and exhaust the enemy's spirit before launching a counterattack... However, all this is only possible in theory, and in reality he has completely run out of options.
Tears quietly fell from the corners of Hanjiang Wang's eyes, and he shivered unconsciously, as if he was pierced by the cold wind. He knew that he was powerless to save the situation, and could only watch his soldiers fall one after another, but he was powerless to do anything. This feeling of helplessness and despair made him feel like a knife was cutting his heart, and he was in agony.
Su Hao, who was in the frontline safety zone, was also soaked with sweat. He stood there with a shadow on his face, and his eyes revealed deep fear. The battle situation in front of him was beyond his expectation. This was simply a one-sided massacre! Kill as many as you send! He couldn't understand it at all, and all the experience in his mind couldn't explain it. The current situation made him feel unprecedented pressure and fear. Instinct made him want to escape, but reason told him that there was no way out, and he could only bite the bullet and continue to fight. However, facing such a powerful enemy, do they really have hope of victory?
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!" Su Hao frantically urged the army to continue charging, trying to reverse the decline, but it was all in vain, because the Jingjiang army had the power of ghosts and gods, and they were simply unmatched! They kept rushing forward, but they only continued to increase the number of corpses on the battlefield.
Fear and despair quickly spread among the Hanjiang King's army. The soldiers had lost all their fighting spirit, and only the sound of running away was left. The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a lifeless hell. More and more people began to flee, and the scene became increasingly chaotic and out of control. Seeing the chaos on the other side, the Jingjiang army's offensive also stagnated. They waited for Li Dexian to give orders, whether to take the initiative to attack and completely defeat the enemy.
However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the Jingjiang army! Xie Hongxin and Luo Huajun rushed to the front with two Jinyiwei carrying heavy machine guns! They turned into mobile artillery, running and shooting, sweeping down the enemy troops in front of them in large numbers! This scene made Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widen. He had never thought that heavy machine guns could be played in such a way in his two lifetimes! He couldn't help but roared: "Xie Hongxin! Get back here!" But at this moment, Xie Hongxin was already bloodshot. He was completely immersed in the battle, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on these enemy troops. His figure quickly shuttled across the battlefield, and the machine gun in his hand continued to spit out flames and devour the lives of the enemy. This battle is destined to go down in history and become a legendary battle!
Lin Xiaofeng roared, reverberating across the battlefield like thunder. Xie Hongxin was shocked by the roar and immediately turned around and ran back. The determination and bravery on his face instantly turned into astonishment and confusion.
Luo Huajun, a veteran general, was pulling the ammunition belt with one hand, his face full of anger and confusion. He yelled at Xie Hongxin: "You idiot! Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Who told you to charge forward without orders? I couldn't stop you! Are you looking for death?!" His voice was full of helplessness and anger, as if he was deeply disappointed with this disobedient subordinate.
Xie Hongxin snorted coldly, but did not refute. He just stood there silently, as if accepting the scolding, and as if thinking about something. His eyes flashed with complex light, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.
"Alright, alright! Stop wasting time!" Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand to drive them away, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty. He looked around and saw that although the enemy troops were in chaos on the battlefield, their will to resist had not completely disappeared, and the battle was still going on.
Although the shooting of the soldiers paused for a moment because of Xie Hongxin's impulsiveness, the soldiers quickly resumed shooting, but the frequency was much slower. It was obvious that the soldiers were also adjusting their rhythm to adapt to this sudden change.
Li Dexian, the Emperor of Jingjiang, stared at the enemy's main force ahead. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he had seen through the fog of the battlefield. He said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "No ceasefire without my order, keep shooting!" His voice revealed an unquestionable majesty and determination.
As the military order was passed, the soldiers continued to shoot. The situation on the battlefield had already been greatly reversed and was no longer as tense as at the beginning. However, this did not mean that the battle was over, and the two sides were still fighting fiercely.
Lin Xiaofeng looked around and saw corpses everywhere. The scene was devastated. The corpses were lying or sprawled in different positions, but their faces showed deep pain and helplessness. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and explosives, which made people feel an indescribable heaviness and bitterness.
Killing people doesn't feel good, especially when Lin Xiaofeng knows clearly that the other party is just innocent cannon fodder who was used or even forced to fight. This feeling is even more like a thorn in the throat. This battle was too fierce, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people may have died on the battlefield. This bloody tragedy happened in front of him, making him feel deeply powerless and sad.
He looked at the Jinyiwei who were shooting with their guns raised. Many of them had become numb and empty. They were clearly in an overwhelming advantage, but at this moment their expressions were hideous and painful, as if they were about to be defeated. This huge contrast made Lin Xiaofeng deeply feel the devastation and destruction of human nature caused by war.
People's tolerance has its limits. Lin Xiaofeng has seen many comments saying that the ancients were mentally strong and not as fragile as modern people who suffer from psychological disorders at any time. However, at this moment, he saw these insignificant people in front of him who were ignored by history and struggling painfully in the war, and then he realized that those comments were nonsense. These soldiers have never been brainwashed to think that the enemy is an unforgivable evil. They only know how to fight against traitors, but what is the relationship between traitors and low-level soldiers? The reason for killing is not sufficient at all, and such efficient killing of one's own kind is not in line with animal nature.
Especially for these main Jinyiwei, a large part of their training strategy was set by Lin Xiaofeng himself, and their values were closer to modern people. In such a cruel and bloody environment, their ability to withstand is even worse than that of ordinary soldiers. If they continue to kill like this, I am afraid that these people will have psychological problems for the rest of their lives.
Although he thought so, Lin Xiaofeng did not say anything. After all, there was only one main general on the battlefield and their situation was not completely safe yet. He could not interfere with military decisions at will.
At this time, the flags of the Hanjiang King and the generals on the battlefield moved. This time, they were no longer charging forward, but showed obvious signs of retreat. In the current situation, even the generals who chose to fight to the death had to retreat. In addition to the order to retreat, issuing other orders might cause even stronger civil unrest.
The defeated soldiers came like a tide and retreated like a tide. They fled in all directions as if they wanted to escape from this hellish battlefield. However, due to the lack of discipline, these people fled in different directions. A large number of people and horses began to leave the army directly. As the "tide" receded, dense corpses appeared on the battlefield, and there were tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers who completely gave up and surrendered.
However, Jingjiang's guns were still reaping the lives of these frightened surrendered soldiers. Every gunshot represented the loss of a life. This cruel reality was unacceptable to Lin Xiaofeng.
"All troops pursue! Heavy machine guns stay where they are!" Li Dexian looked at the scattered retreat of the enemy troops and gave new orders with red eyes. He turned to Lin Xiaofeng and said, "Old Lin, I will go to fight the enemy. You stay here and watch them. Make sure the battlefield is safe."
However, Lin Xiaofeng rushed forward, grabbed Li Dexian's sleeve and said anxiously: "Stop firing quickly! These are prisoners and can't be killed anymore!" There was a pleading and helplessness in his voice, as if he wanted to bring a bit of humanity and warmth to this cruel battlefield.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Dexian threw away his sleeves and pointed at the battlefield angrily, "Look! There are still tens of thousands of people here who may rise up in rebellion at any time. The risk is still there!" His voice revealed an unquestionable majesty and determination, as if he was fighting for the future of Jingjiang.
"Even if they don't resist, how can we lead so many prisoners? We don't have any extra food to provide them with! There will be a disaster later!" Li Dexian's words were full of helplessness and worry, as if he had foreseen the difficulties and crises in the future.
However, Lin Xiaofeng stared at him intently, pointing to the position of General Mod and others with one hand: "If you want to become the master of the world and rule over everything, you must stop! Those people are watching you! If you continue killing, it will be an unjust war!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he was fighting for justice and shouting for those innocent lives.
Li Dexian looked around, frowning, and fell into deep thought. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and every decision could affect the future. He had to think carefully and make the most correct choice.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Dexian's hesitation and continued, "Look at our Jinyiwei, they are not murderers! Now everyone is responsible for hundreds or thousands of lives, and it's almost reached the limit! You must be tolerant and kind to rule the world! Wake up!"
Li Dexian was touched by Lin Xiaofeng's words. He looked around at the tired and numb soldiers, and a deep sorrow welled up in his heart. He knew that this war had made them bear too much sin and pain.
"Then what do you say we should do? What if those surrendered soldiers cause trouble?" There was helplessness and anxiety in Li Dexian's voice, as if he was looking for a solution.
"Yes, you are right. If we don't kill them all, there will be troubles in the future." Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and said solemnly, "But every choice has risks. Do you want victory for the whole world or just a temporary victory? Think it over before you do it."
Li Dexian was caught in a dilemma. He understood Lin Xiaofeng's intention but also knew the importance of this decision. He had to weigh the pros and cons and make the most correct choice.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at the surrendered soldiers who were already paralyzed on the ground and had an idea: "We can let the generals who came with us take these surrendered soldiers away and leave them with five days of food and grass. It will be enough to hold on until we return to the towns in the rear where there is food."
He paused and continued, "We are only pursuing the main force of King Hanjiang now. Your Majesty, don't forget... King Hanjiang still has four nails around him. We may not need to fight again. Let's hold on tight while the enemy's morale is low and see if the Razor Club can succeed. If not, it won't be too late for us to fight again."
Li Dexian raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng deeply, with a determined light flashing in his eyes: "Well... okay! This is a win-win solution." He turned and gave an order to the messenger, and new changes began to take place on the entire battlefield.
Lin Xiaofeng nodded, turned around, found a horse, and ran towards General Mod and others. His heart was full of expectations and hope, looking forward to the early end of this cruel war, and looking forward to the redemption and rest of those innocent lives.
Maud and other generals stood in the distance, their eyes dull and their faces pale as they huddled together. Although they did not directly join the battlefield, they could see the situation on the battlefield clearly. The tragic and bloody scene made them feel deeply terrified and shocked.
Two of them vomited because they could not bear the visual impact, as if they wanted to expel the fear and pain in their hearts along with the vomit.
Although many of them had been through many battles, this was the first time they had seen such a tragic and one-sided war. The exaggerated death toll was even equal to the entire army of some countries.
The army of Jingjiang was more like a natural disaster. They harvested lives coldly and efficiently, as if everything was under their control.
Mod now completely understood why Li Dexian and Jianye Hou had acted so relaxed before, as if this war was just a picnic for them. It turned out that they really had the strength to crush all enemies, and this army was simply a natural disaster, leaving no grass wherever it went.
At this moment, besides deep fear and awe, Mod also felt an indescribable sense of relief. He was glad that he chose to cooperate with Jingjiang and that he did not become the enemy of the Scourge Army. At the same time, he also had a deep worry and concern for his country and his army. He did not know if they would be able to resist if such an army attacked their country one day.
Lin Xiaofeng rode over, his figure looking particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. Maude and the others saw him from afar, and their hearts tightened slightly, and they moved closer to each other. They looked at the figure riding over, and their hearts were filled with complicated emotions.
Lin Xiaofeng, the Marquis of Jianye, always had a smile on his face, giving people the impression that he was as kind as Jingjiang. However, their performance on the battlefield was jaw-dropping. Their incomparable fighting power, as well as Lin Xiaofeng's calmness while lying at the front watching the battle, made them feel in awe.
At this moment, a thought flashed through their minds: Would he be so excited about killing that he would come over and kill me too? Although this thought flashed through their minds, it left a deep impression in their hearts.
Lin Xiaofeng had already pulled the reins and dismounted, his movements were graceful and neat. He walked slowly in front of the crowd, his deep eyes revealing a calmness and composure. Everyone instinctively stepped back slightly, as if they felt a little uncomfortable under his aura, and then felt that this action was a little awkward.
Maud mustered up his courage and took the initiative to walk forward, wanting to talk to Lin Xiaofeng. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, due to the long-term tense nerves, his throat actually made a womanly sound, which made him blush on the spot. Lin Xiaofeng pretended not to hear it, and still asked with a smile: "Why are you so far away from me? Why are you so estranged after a battle?"
Everyone laughed awkwardly and the atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.
Lin Xiaofeng continued, "The war is over, and now there are many more prisoners to deal with. But our army does not have the energy to take care of them. I wonder if you are willing to send these prisoners back to the previous town for me in Jingjiang? I will leave you five days of food and grass as a thank you."
After hearing this, Mod and the others were stunned. They didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng to make such a request, and they didn't expect him to consider their needs so considerately. Then someone stepped forward and asked tentatively: "How does Jingjiang plan to deal with the prisoners?"
Lin Xiaofeng said with great sorrow: "I don't have any plans. If you are short of people, you can take them back to your own country. If not, just stay in the town and help them solve the problem later. Too many people died today. This is not what Jingjiang wants to see. These surrendered soldiers are innocent people. They were just forced to be involved in this war." (End of this chapter)
