Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 30: No one who resists will be spared!
"Don't run away, Nanqing!"

"A reward of 10,000 gold will be given to anyone who captures Li Chengru alive!"

The thunderous sound of cavalry and the commander's loud shout came at the same time.

More than ten thousand cavalrymen rushed over at an extremely fast speed. The overwhelming murderous aura frightened the Qing cavalry so much that their horses began to shake violently.

"General, we will cover your escape. You are a prince and must not be captured by Northern Qi!"

"That's right, Your Highness, you must not be captured. We will rush out with you!!"

Li Chengru listened to the anxious shouts of the generals around him, but he didn't feel much and just closed his eyes in silence.

He felt so tired just because of his identity as the eldest prince.

He had never enjoyed the rights of a prince, and after finally making a name for himself in the army, people's first impression of him was still that of the eldest prince of Qing.

It is obvious that he is just a person with an empty title, a person who couldn't even get enough food to eat when he was a child, but he has to carry this title for the rest of his life.

Li Chengru shook his head: "Put down your weapons. There is no need to make a fearless sacrifice."

"Once they charge, more than 10,000 cavalrymen will be unstoppable."

"You should all understand this. We are generals and we are responsible for our soldiers. Their families are waiting for them to return home!"

His words caused several generals to fall silent.

The envoy from the Inspection Institute also bowed his head and remained silent, but his lowered face was filled with murderous intent.

Li Chengru turned around and glanced at the beautiful figure beating the drum.

Although the rhythm is a mess, it makes people feel excited when listening to it.

Maybe it’s because that person is the queen?

The queen did not stay in the palace, but came to the border instead, beating drums to cheer on the soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

This was a level of courage he had never seen before.

"He is also a wonderful person. No wonder he can say that all land under heaven belongs to the king and all people in the world are his subjects."

Li Chengru suddenly smiled, then shook his head and rode forward: "Put down your weapons, this battle... we have lost!"

"Your families are still waiting for you to come home, there is no need to make fearless sacrifices!"

His voice was strengthened by his inner strength and carried clearly to everyone's ears along with the wind.

Upon hearing this, many of the soldiers who had already lost their will to fight dropped their weapons.

"Clang! Clang!"

The sounds of weapons falling to the ground could be heard one after another.

Soon, half of the soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered.

They are the elite, but even the strongest elite can have times when their morale is low.

Their god of war, the eldest prince Li Chengru, has given up, so it would be unnecessary for them to resist further.

And what Li Chengru said was right, they still have families waiting for them to return home and reunite.

But some soldiers still refused to surrender: "The Northern Qi bastards killed my brothers, how can we surrender?"

"If we surrender, how can we face our brothers who died in the battle? How can we return home with dignity?"

"What kind of army are you guys joining if you don't even have the courage to fight the Northern Qi bastards?"

The hysterical roars made many soldiers who were ready to lay down their weapons hesitate.

Seeing this, Li Chengru stopped trying to persuade him and just shook his head silently.

These people may be truly loyal, but the enemy on the battlefield will not spare your life just because of your loyalty.

Sure enough, as soon as he shook his head, the Northern Qi soldiers from all directions drew their swords without hesitation.

They are already in a weak position, and now there are few people who resist to the death.

Faced with the Northern Qi swords coming from all directions, they had almost no power to resist.

Almost in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred soldiers were killed.

When the soldiers whose enthusiasm had just been aroused saw this, their blood instantly cooled.

They all laid down their weapons and surrendered, and the Northern Qi soldiers had no choice but to stop their swords. On the battlefield, prisoners must not be killed without military orders, otherwise it would cause a riot among the prisoners.

So no matter how much they hated the soldiers of Nanqing, they had to put down their swords.

Seeing this, Li Chengru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, at least thousands of families will not be able to wait for their loved ones to return.

But Uesugi Tora spoke at this time.

"Kill those who resist stubbornly, not a single one will be spared!!"

"Since they want to die for Nanqing, let them do it!"

"We, Northern Qi, can accept prisoners, but we will also help those who want to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Li Chengru widened his eyes and shouted anxiously: "No..."

But just as he started shouting, he heard screams in his ears, accompanied by the sound of a knife entering flesh.

As well as verbal abuse and loud noises.

Nanqing invaded a border city and killed more than 3,000 of them.

They have not forgotten this grudge. It would be fine if they didn't have the chance, but how could they hold back if they did?

Li Chengru and the Nanqing soldiers saw the soldiers falling one after another.

Their eyes turned red with anger, and they looked at the Northern Qi soldiers with eyes that seemed to wish they could cut them into pieces.

"What? Are you angry? Then pick up your weapons and fight us. We are ready to fight you anytime!!" Uesugi Tora raised his spear, and his voice, accompanied by the sound of war drums, spread throughout the battlefield.

The surrounding Northern Qi soldiers also raised their weapons and pointed them at the Southern Qing soldiers, looking eager to try.

Just at this moment, the cavalry charging from a distance also arrived.

The leading general held a big axe and waved his hand to stop the cavalry.

He leaned forward on his horse and said, "Didn't you listen to what our general said? Pick up your weapons and fight!!"

"Aren't you very powerful? Didn't you initiate the war? Why are you so cowardly now?"

"This general and the 10,000 cavalrymen behind me are coming for your heads!!"

The general raised his axe, his voice full of provocation.

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind him immediately shouted, "Fight!!"

The sound shook the wild fields, drowning out the sound of Chen Luo beating the drum, and also made the people in Huwei City look in that direction.

Although the provoked Nanqing soldiers looked grim, no one dared to stand up and fight.

If they really wanted to die, they would not have surrendered in the first place.

They have families waiting for them, and they all want to survive!

Li Chengru said angrily: "We have surrendered, what else do you want?"

"Are you going to kill the prisoners who have laid down their weapons? Aren't you afraid of being despised by the world?"

He was angry, but also powerless.

Sometimes the feeling of powerlessness caused by being weak can make a person lose all desire to resist.

Even the soldiers were like this when they captured Shanhai City before.

They are the same now.

"A loser should have a loser's attitude!"

"Even if I kill all of you, it won't matter. What does it matter if people all over the world despise me? I am a rough man, I don't care about these things!"

Uesugi Tiger swept his spear and beheaded three surrendered Qing soldiers.

His action drew cheers from the Northern Qi soldiers, and also made the Qing soldiers terrified and angry.

Li Chengru tightened his grip on the reins, knowing that this was Uesugi Tiger warning him.

But he couldn't help but compromise!
