Chapter 1463 Conquering the Empire (9)

"My lord, this is the head of the enemy commander."

Zhao Hu glanced at the leader who was still puzzled, nodded and said: "Very good, it's hard for you to complete it in such a short time, and the reward will be doubled as usual."

Under Zhou Wen's rectification, the secret guard system has been completely formalized, and various systems have been implemented, and the meritorious service system is the earliest to be completed.

These secret guards will automatically receive rewards after completing the tasks, and Zhao Hu doesn't need to bother at all. Of course, those who can be rewarded by Zhao Hu in person are all great achievements, so other secret guards are eager to appear in front of Zhao Hu. If the merit is great, the Lord can get additional rewards at any time when he is happy.

"Thank you, Lord, for your generous reward."

There was no emotion in the secret guard's voice, but his eyes showed joy. After he handed over the head to the inner guard, he disappeared mysteriously as usual.

Zhao Hu looked at the chaos spreading out from the enemy army with the general flag as the center, nodded, waved his hand, the horn sounded, Zhao Hu's colonel flag shook violently a few times, then pointed diagonally forward, followed by Zhao Hu pressing On the front line.

Hearing this horn, which was different from an attack, the soldiers of the Qin family immediately became excited.

The sound of this horn means that our army has an absolute advantage, and now is a good time to expand the results of the battle. When I turned around, I found that the general flag was actually advancing!

This scene shows that the protagonist has entered the battle line, my God!The great time to show off your feats in front of the lord has finally come!Everyone couldn't help roaring immediately, and rushed to fight bravely and a little crazily.

The Lu family's front line, which seemed a bit disintegrated due to the lack of people and strength, was unable to maintain the front of the Lu family's army after the commander was killed and the enemy's crazy double blows, and immediately collapsed completely with a bang.

All the Lu's army fled in all directions, but the Lu's army had been charging to the death for a while, and their strength was almost exhausted, and most of them were infantry, so they couldn't run very far. It can be said that their fate has been decided.

As for the cavalry of the Lu family army who had just fought against the marines, after hearing the news of the death of the main general and seeing the collapse of the front line, a thought suddenly came up: they are cutting-edge troops, even if they are defeated, the soldiers will not suffer much. The punishment, even to appease people's hearts, will be rewarded instead.

As for the officers?It is a dead end for them to run back by themselves, but to bring the cavalry back safely, at most they will be reprimanded, and they will even be rewarded for keeping the cutting-edge troops.

So now is not the time to think about killing the enemy or taking revenge, the safe retreat to the lair is the most important thing.

With this thought in their minds, the officers of the Lu family's cavalry immediately ignored the approaching Zhao Hu cavalry and the marines who were desperately pestering them, and yelled, "The whole army retreats!" They turned around and ran away.

The cavalry were not slow either, they followed closely after the officer made his move, it seems that the same thoughts as the officer appeared in their minds.

Seeing them escape, the marines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Infantry vs. cavalry is really a life-threatening job.But Zhao Hu cavalry is not happy, you just ran away when you came?So disrespectful?

The cavalry officer said with a grim expression: "A peasant soldier is a peasant soldier. How dare you form a cavalry army with only one horse! Go after them! Take all these horses!"

Upon hearing this, the cavalry immediately got their eyes glowing with excitement, shouting and chasing after the enemy cavalry.

No wonder they were so excited. To the cavalry of the Qin family, ten heads of the enemy army are not as good as one war horse. If you kill them, you can get thousands of horses immediately.

Seeing that the enemy's battle line had completely collapsed, and there were almost no resistance on the entire line, Zhao Hu waved his hand: "Send an order to surrender."

The horn sounded immediately, and others could only hear the rhythm was different, but they didn't know what it meant, but the Qin family soldiers who were ferociously chasing and killing the enemy knew it.

Although they are more looking forward to beheading more enemy troops so that they can gain more meritorious service, but disobeying orders will invalidate all their meritorious deeds, so they had to shout reluctantly: "Kneeling and surrendering is not enough!" kill!"

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Lu family, who had been chased so weakly and were even more frightened, immediately collapsed to the ground, and then, fearing that they would be inspected because they didn't kneel down, they immediately struggled and knelt down on the ground.In an instant, when the words of persuasion to surrender sounded, the Lu family troops running around were unexpectedly shortened by half.

Don't be surprised how the soldiers of the Lu family surrendered so easily. Although being a soldier of the Lu family has a better life than the people under the Lu family, in any case, the Lu family is a warlord, and the soldiers at the bottom are very strict with the Lu family. There is no loyalty, what is great is eating your family's food and working hard for your family. Meal money alone cannot reach the point of foolish loyalty.

Moreover, it is very common for warlords to fight in a melee, and it is very common for the soldiers below to surrender. Isn't the Lu family's army also owned by annexing other small warlords in this way?
For these reasons, the soldiers of the Lu family surrendered with peace of mind, but they were still a little scared.

It stands to reason that in the warlord melee, the captured soldiers were all incorporated into the army to increase their strength, so they should not hurt their own lives.

But looking at these guys who kept the imperial uniforms, one or two looked vicious, and when they shouted to surrender instead of killing, they actually had a reluctant expression.

What is even more frightening is that even after they surrendered themselves, they actually showed the eyes of "run away quickly, so that I can hack you to death". Resigned to his fate, he lay on the ground and waited for his punishment.

Zhao Hu's cavalry looked ferociously at the Lu family cavalry who had fallen off his horse, and there was a look of regret in his eyes.

Seeing this expression, the Lu family cavalry who thought he was hopeless couldn't help blinking, but when he found that the enemy cavalry's regretful eyes were for his own foaming horse, he couldn't help but feel chilled.It seems that I am not as good as a horse in the heart of the enemy.

Zhao Hu's cavalrymen couldn't help being ferocious. The mounts of those cavalrymen who were shot to death by him during the pursuit were fine. After a period of recuperation, they were still qualified war horses.

But these guys who don't want to accept their fate, actually ride the war horse until it foams. Even if such a war horse recovers, it can only be used as a draft horse, and can no longer take on the task of charging into the battle. It can be said that it has completely dropped a level!
"You **** bastards! Are you still a cavalry?! How dare you abuse your mount like this?! Go to hell!"

The Zhao Hu cavalry raised their sabers angrily, while the Lu cavalry closed their eyes bitterly, knowing that they were doomed.

Seeing how angry the enemy was, it was impossible to surrender. Just now, several brothers opened their mouths to surrender, but they were killed as if they hadn't heard them. They could only accept their fate.

Realizing their situation, several Lu family cavalrymen who still had strength immediately started cursing.

"Damn it, who doesn't know that war horses are the life of cavalry?! Especially in this empire where horses are rare, every excellent war horse is very precious, and we usually don't have enough time to take care of it! If it weren't for you guys The bastard is chasing after him desperately, will we hurry like this?!"

"Hey, it's our fault according to you? Huh! Losers have no right to complain, kill!"

A Zhao Hu cavalry officer waved his hand indifferently.

Just when Zhao Hu's cavalry were about to attack, the sound of horns came to their ears.All Zhao Hu's cavalry stopped their movements suddenly, and then said with an expression of extreme reluctance: "Kneel down and surrender without killing!"

The Lu family cavalry was taken aback when they heard this, why are they suddenly willing to surrender?
Seeing that they were all in a daze, the Zhao Hu cavalrymen immediately raised their sabers with joy on their faces. This action and expression immediately scared the Lu cavalrymen to get up and kneel on the ground.

Even cavalry officers are like this, although their salaries are much higher than soldiers, and their families are controlled by the Lu family, but after wandering between life and death once, they suddenly understand that everything is false, only their own life is the most real .Just save your own life and let others die!
After the battle was over, Zhao Hu didn't have to bother about recruiting prisoners and cleaning the battlefield. Naturally, someone under his command would take care of it, so Zhao Hu took Zhou Wen and hundreds of inner guards to stay on the high ground, resting quietly.

The marines, who were all in a daze, did not participate in cleaning the battlefield, but hid aside to rest under Liu Ming's leadership. They did not dare to get too close to Zhao Hu's location to avoid being misunderstood.

"That's how we won? And we won a complete victory by annihilating the opponent? Isn't it too fake?

How many people did we kill? !And the action is too fast, only a few hours? !It's not even dark yet! "A Marine Corps officer murmured.

Liu Ming sighed: "Don't be surprised, just look at the expressions of the soldiers of the Qin family and how they don't take this victory seriously, and you can know why this battle ended so easily and quickly."

An officer carefully looked left and right, and then whispered with a sneaky look: "Sir, there are only a few hundred people in Zhao Hu's place now, and his troops are cleaning the battlefield. There is a whole regiment on our side, and the distance is still so long." Not as close as we..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew what he meant. Most of the officers had a cold look in their eyes, because they were not defeated by the Qin family and were willing to take refuge in them. Boss, the dissatisfaction and resentment in my heart have existed from the beginning.

"Hey, I didn't dare to attack the sea and the Qin family's land before, but now this is our land, we can't let go of such a good opportunity!" An officer clapped his hands and said with a ferocious face.
