Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274
Ten thousand cavalry wearing ghost masks stood quietly outside the city. When Di Qing gave an order, there was a sudden burst of howling ghosts and wolves among the originally silent ten thousand cavalry. They all raised their swords in their hands. The next moment, the hooves of tens of thousands of war horses trampled on the ground caused the sound of thunder!
"Woooooo!"

Waves of strange cries came from the mouths of these ghost army cavalry, as if they were all ghosts rushing out of Jiuyou, they rushed towards the trembling Cao Jun!

Cao Hong watched the ghost cavalry rush towards him in panic. He closed his eyes in despair, and the two lieutenants beside him hurriedly grabbed Cao Hong, and one of them said:
"Let's go, General!"

The other's bloodshot eyes glared at the front and said, "I'll kill this enemy general first!"

Seeing that the lieutenant general was about to slash at Zhang Xiu with his saber, Cao Hong strode forward, grabbed the shoulder saber from the lieutenant general's hand, and cursed:
"Bastard!"

"If we kill him, we are really doomed! If we keep him, maybe we can survive if we are captured!"

The lieutenant general: "."

The lieutenant general asked: "General, you said you were captured. Since you are captured, what's the point of living?"

Cao Hong glared at the lieutenant general, then cut off the rope on Zhang Xiu's body with a knife, and said, "Meng De is a Hanchen, the general is also a Hanchen, and we are also Hanchens. The surrender of the Hanchen can be said to be a prisoner." , Can it be said that it is living?!"

At that moment, Cao Hong yelled directly at the ghost cavalry that was forcing him: "Stop fighting, we surrender!"

However, not everyone who surrendered could get good treatment. Cao Hong's magnificent words were ignored by Di Qing like a fart.

The ghost army cavalry that swept across suddenly rushed into the army formed by Cao Jun soldiers and the rebel cavalry, and one by one, the elite cavalrymen wearing ghost masks raised their knives and slashed at the enemy in front of them mercilessly. Enemy, Di Qing watched all this coldly from behind, and touched his face mask.

"The enemy general has decided to surrender, why continue to kill?"

This time, Gao Shun didn't hold back, and asked Di Qing.

Di Qing kept watching the one-sided massacre on the battlefield through the eyeholes on the face mask, and ignored Gao Shun. Just when Gao Shun thought he would not answer his question, Di Qing said flatly:

"Just now, did you hear the shouts of killing in the city?"

"Those Liangzhou soldiers who died in the battle in Anyi City, their souls are now watching from the sky."

Gao Shun met Di Qing's eyes and looked at the battlefield ahead. He found that even in the middle of a fight, the ghost army cavalry only let out a strange howl, and no one could clearly say it. Even if it is a sentence or two.

"Don't be curious, I'll tell you."

Di Qing seemed to be aware of Gao Shun's doubts, and he explained to Gao Shun: "None of these ten thousand ghost cavalry can speak."

"Are they all dumb?"

Gao Shun asked Di Qing, then smiled to himself, and said, "It's hard for the general to find so many strong dumb people."

Hearing what Gao Shun said, Di Qing smiled slightly behind the iron mask, but of course Gao Shun couldn't see this smile.

While Di Qing was talking with Gao Shun, Cao Hong's side was full of heads and howling.

The massacre of Cao Hong's soldiers by the ghost army didn't last long. When Di Qing came to the battlefield and raised his halberd, all the ghost cavalry slowly stopped their movements. The red-eyed Ghost Army continued to slash for a long time in a daze before stopping what he was doing.

Gao Shun looked at this scene, and his expectations for this special cavalry were lowered at once. An army with insufficient discipline, no matter how powerful it is, will eventually have very big hidden dangers.

But thinking about the aura of the ghost army charging just now, Gao Shun frowned again.

Soon, the battlefield calmed down, Cao Jun soldiers who were lucky enough to survive stood together in groups, and Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu were brought to Di Qing.

At this time, Cao Hong's eyes were bloodshot. He had just watched his soldiers being harvested like grass. He asked Di Qing:

"We are all willing to lay down our weapons and surrender, so why kill so many of our soldiers?"

Di Qing's tone seemed unchanged for thousands of years, and he said to Cao Hong in a flat voice:

"General Cao, the general has an order that if you surrender, you will not die, but none of the soldiers of the Niu Fu Army under your command who have betrayed the general can be left behind."

"The great general once said that he did not want to kill each other with the Han people, but the great general also said that whoever caused his soldiers to bleed, he will definitely pay with blood."

As he said that, Di Qing threw a knife to Cao Hong and said:
"You still have more than 1 people under your command, and Niu Fu's rebel army has more than 8000 people. Every time you and your men kill a Niu Fu rebel, one of you will survive."

"Listen clearly, every time you kill one, you can live one, that is to say, you can only live up to 8000 people, General Cao, let you decide who you want to live and who you want to die."

Cao Hong's whole body trembled, and he tried hard to say to Di Qing: "It is really our fault to offend the general this time. I, Cao Hong, wish to die, and I only hope that the general will let go of my soldiers!"

Said, Cao Hong knelt in front of Di Qing's horse, and kowtowed heavily to Di Qing.

Di Qing looked at Cao Hong coldly and said, "General Cao, if General Zhang begged you this way in Anyi City today, would you let his Liangzhou soldiers go?"

"The two armies are at war, and each is the master. If they lose, they will have to pay the price."

"Besides, the reason why you have the chance to save 8000 people today is because you didn't kill General Zhang Xiu. Otherwise, the land today will be a mass grave for tens of thousands of people next year."

As soon as Di Qing's words fell, Cao Hong's face turned ashen. After a long time, he picked up the knife that Di Qing threw on the ground, and was about to turn around when Zhang Xiu, who had been silent all this time, spoke:

"General, although I have never seen you in the general's tent, today I, Zhang Xiu, want to ask for favors from the general, and I ask the general to be lenient."

Di Qing looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Say it."

At this time, Zhang Xiu was ashamed and said: "This incident in Anyi is my incompetence. It has caused my lord to lose nearly ten thousand soldiers, and it has also delayed my lord's important event of sending troops to merge with the state. An elite teacher, otherwise, I'm afraid I will live in guilt in the future."

Di Qing thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "In that case, write a letter in hand and ask the Lord for his opinion."

After Di Qing finished speaking, Cao Hong turned to look at Zhang Xiu, and saluted him very respectfully.
