Chapter 118 It’s too late
Why is Su Yao's advance so rapid?
Then we have to mention another strange visitor they encountered shortly after they drove away the messenger.

It was a prairie man with his hat off, barefoot, shirtless and his hands tied. He was seen kneeling in the road, yelling:
"Captain Su! I, Hu Yanjun, am guilty!"

Hu Yanjun cried loudly

"The sinner has blind eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. He actually fought against the heavenly soldiers and charged against the governor. I hereby bear the thorn and apologize, and I am willing to surrender unconditionally!
I just hope that Governor Su can give me a chance to change my ways and make meritorious service! "

"."

Su Yao touched his chin and felt a little speechless. He didn't expect this barbarian to be so capable of kneeling. Is he really going to surrender unconditionally?
"Do you have any misunderstanding about the five words of unconditional surrender?" Su Yao wondered.

Unconditional surrender, as the name suggests, means that the losing party unconditionally ceases all hostile activities, completely places itself under the victor, accepts all conditions, and its ultimate fate depends on the victor's whim.

Generally speaking, in the True Three Worlds, such a request can only appear after wiping out all the opponent's main forces, occupying the capital, and maxing out the opponent's war exhaustion level.

After all, the camp that accepts unconditional surrender not only means that all its troops will be disbanded, and its generals will be dismissed or collected, but its territory can even be swallowed up entirely if the victor does not care about the notoriety.

Therefore, it is difficult for Su Yao to understand that this NPC came over to perform this act.

And what else did he say about committing crimes and making meritorious deeds?
"No, Hu Yanjun is willing to accept any treatment!"

Hu Yanjun, the second prince had his wings completely broken by Su Yao.

In the end, his men only gathered less than two thousand demoralized remnants, which made him feel deeply precarious. He only felt that the insidious big brother might strike at any time.

When foreign enemies are present and they continue to fight among themselves, it will be completely over.

So Hu Yanjun immediately thought of running away.

However, he initially wanted to flee to Shuofang and rely on his prestige to rally his troops for a final desperate resistance.

Yes, stubbornly resisting. As long as he thought about Su Yao's appearance of killing everyone, he really didn't think that his temporarily mobilized herdsmen would be the opponent of Governor Su who was fighting more and more fiercely.

However, the shameless big brother Hu Yanming's approach opened up a new way of thinking for him!

If the eldest brother can choose to surrender, then he can even more.

Humphrey was the legitimate heir, and the false king currently on the throne did not deserve their death.

As for the Han Dynasty, they have respected them for hundreds of years, so surrendering is a matter of course.

Rather than leading his troops to fight against this terrible governor for the sake of face, surrendering while he is still of some use is obviously an extremely wise choice!

Ever since, for Hu Yanjun, it was like being a man, and when he thought about it, he suddenly felt that the world was vast.

He hurriedly arranged for his men to guard the east gate, and then led his soldiers to perform a trick of rushing out of the gate and caught up with the envoy who was familiar with him.

After asking about Su Yao's conditions, he immediately took off his clothes, tied them up and ran to surrender in front of Su Yao's army. He reached the point in one step and knelt down to the end.

After Hu Yanjun's brief explanation, Su Yao finally understood it.

Of course, Su Yao would not refuse such a good thing that was given to him for free.

After finding someone to confirm Hu Yanjun's identity and figuring out the reality in the city, Su Yao immediately ordered:
"Zhang Liao leads 1000 riders to the west gate, Cheng Lian leads 1000 riders to the north gate, Jin Fangyan leads 1000 riders to the south gate, and the rest follow me into the east gate.

We must catch all these traitors today! "

After the general gave the order, the troops who had been slowly wandering around driving sheep and cattle just now picked up their spirits and attacked at full speed.

Then, there was news that Hu Yanming had already entered the city just as he was about to inspire Su Yaotian's soldiers.

"kill!"

Su Yao raised his spear and charged while shouting.

The red devil entered the city.

Fortunately, this time they were in the right position! As Su Yao rushed all the way after entering the city, the Hu soldiers who raised their flags and surrendered at the east gate also started to kill madly.

They wore red armbands, brandished sabers and spears, and fired bows and arrows to mercilessly massacre the bewildered fellow defenders.

Especially those who were sent by the eldest prince to monitor the army. They never expected that these friendly soldiers who had greeted them with smiles and collected their property suddenly went crazy and turned against them.

Not only did he open the door to let Han soldiers into the city, he also hacked and killed them crazily.

In fact, the reason is very simple. These barbarians did not expect that Su Yao only brought a few hundred riders into the city, but there were still nearly 4000 hostile troops in the city!

Although I know you are strong, you can't take it so lightly, right?

Hu Yanjun, who was also speechless, thought he understood what Su Yao meant on the way. This was forcing him to surrender his name!
So after entering the city, he immediately ordered his nearly 2000 subordinates to start a killing spree.

These Hu soldiers who had raised their flags and had no way to retreat had no choice but to fight desperately.

This shameless behavior also completely angered the defenders in the city. They couldn't stop the red-robed monster, but they could beat these demoralized remnants.

So the two phases fought like crazy, and for a while they killed each other and caused more casualties than Su Yao had killed all the way.

"That damn traitor, how dare he betray us?!"

On the road in front of the governor's house, Hu Yanming, who was leaning on a cane and being supported by his own soldiers, scolded his younger brother for his despicable shamelessness.
Seeing the Su-Chinese flag in the city approaching rapidly from the east, Hu Yanming knew what was happening no matter how stupid he was.

"The eldest prince is in trouble. Evacuate quickly. If you are late, it will be too late!"

On the battlefield, breaking into a city can have a huge impact on the morale of the defending side.

Especially in the Eastern Classical Age, the layout of the city and the structure of wooden buildings made street fighting a very unfavorable choice for the defenders.

Therefore, the attack and defense of the city are all about fighting for the city walls and city gates. Once the city gates are breached and the enemy troops enter the city in large numbers, the situation is over.

Except for a heroic fight knowing that they will die, most of the defenders' choices will be to abandon the city or surrender.

"Evacuate, go to the east gate!"

Although he was lame on one leg, Hu Yanming was not slow at all when running. He got into the carriage and was jolted around as he ran wildly. It was a pity.
"Oops! There are more than a thousand Han cavalry arrayed outside the east gate."

"What?! Go to the north gate!"

Twenty or thirty cavalry soldiers protected his carriage and ran northward. As a result.
"It's bad! There are also more than a thousand Han cavalry arrayed outside the north gate."

"What, go."

Hu Yanming was half-finished and was stunned on the spot.

Su Yao, who was wearing a white horse, a silver helmet and a red robe, was looking at him coldly.

"Young man, you can also ride in a carriage. It's quite enjoyable."

"I, I vote."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Yao's spear coming out of his hand, roaring towards him!

Immediately afterwards, his face was pierced by a huge force, and he flew up and was knocked out of the carriage!

At the moment before his death, Hu Yanming finally deeply regretted that he should not have cared about face in the first place, and he should have simply surrendered!
However, there is no regret in the world, the encirclement has been completed, and what awaits these rebellious fates will be bloody and cruel suppression.

Su Yao led his hundreds of horses to plow the fields wildly, fighting from the east to the west of the city, from the south to the north of the city, and everyone who knelt slowly had their heads cut off.

After the First World War, more than half of the nearly 6,000 barbarians in the city were killed or injured.

The threat from the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu was completely eliminated.
