Great Tang Southern Emperor

Who would know if you deducted one or two thousand captives casually? One or two thousand captives are not conspicuous in an army of 40, but even if calculated according to the price of ten guan for one effort, it would be [-] guan——[-] guan is considered average Spread it out to the brothers below, that's enough for each of them to get a consistent share, which is equivalent to their salary for several months.

And don't feel nervous about seizing captives and selling them privately, because this is acquiesced in the army-guarding prisoners of war is a hard job, and if you don't allow them to search for a little money, it's really too much.Of course, you can't go too far, and you can't get too much greed. If half of the 40 captives are stolen, then you are really looking for death, and no one will say anything if you kill you.But it's impossible for ordinary people to do such a stupid thing.

"That's how it is. Du He, you stay and hand over to General Li, and we will lead the people to move on." Seizing the flag and beheading the commander, the army in the barracks is only half of Li Zhen's goal. He intends to keep all the Chenla army. Those here, after all, are said to have an army of 40, but in fact there are only 10,000+ in the barracks, and the rest were either killed in the chaos, or lost in the vast mountains at night, or took advantage of the chaos. Run away - most of these are recruits.

"Yes." Du He nodded in response, then turned around and started handover with Li Yuanzhang.

"Let's go too."

"Yes." Everyone suddenly agreed.

"This time we must keep all the Chenla army, and we must not let one go."

"Yes."

It is basically impossible for the 40 troops to stay here, but it seems to be as easy as picking something out of a bag at Li Zhen's place - you must know that this is a mountainous area.

So where does his confidence come from?

In fact, the reason why Li Zhen has such confidence is that when he carefully studied the maps and information in this area, he found that the terrain of this generation is very interesting-although there are many mountains in this area, the connection with the outside world is actually not very close. Not many, there are only five, and one of them is a waterway. The rebel army fled in a hurry. How could they prepare ships?So this path is actually impossible.

In other words, there are only four main roads leading to the border of Chenla, and two of these four roads are small roads, not to mention uneven, rugged, and there are many cliffs along the way. Will fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces-such a road is very dangerous even during the day, let alone at night?

Li Zhen only sent dozens of people to guard these two roads - he didn't think there were too many of them.

As for the remaining two major roads, the situation is much better, and the walking army should not be a problem.But one of the main roads needs to cross the river. The river is fast, and there is only a huge bridge connecting the two banks. In the northern part of Lafa, Bafavalman should not go here, so there is basically no need to worry - of course, there may be a lot of routs passing through here, so just in case, Li Zhen also arranged 1000 people here guard.

There is only the last one, which is the road that the Chenla army took when they came. Not only is the road condition the best among all the roads, but it also leads directly to Angkor Thom, the country of Chenla. If there is a road, this road should be the best choice.

In fact, this is also the case. At this time, the only narrow place on this road has gathered tens of thousands of Chenla soldiers. The formed fortress cut off the entire road.

At this time, the side of the fort facing the battlefield was already crowded with a large number of corpses, all of which were from Chenla's broken soldiers. As hard as it was, they were sometimes knocked down by cannon before they even reached the fortress.

What's more terrible is that after such a long period of adjustment, the panic on the face of the rout soldiers has been replaced by daze - they don't know what they have experienced, let alone why they appear here, they only know that they are After going through a big chaos, I lost my mind, and appeared here after I woke up.

There were also people who recalled what they had done before, and suddenly covered their faces and cried loudly, because they found out that they had killed their own robes, and even more horrified to find that their own brother had been killed by themselves , At that time, some people lost control...

Emotions are contagious. The crying and wailing of some people can't help but drive the crying and wailing of most people. What's more, they are ashamed and commit suicide.

"My lord, the situation is just like this." On a small high ground not far from this narrow place, Zhu Yunrang was reporting the situation to Bafavalman. After introducing the information, Zhu Yunrang persuaded: "My lord, the target on this road It's too obvious that Li Zhen's army is likely to follow, so let's choose another route."

Bafavalman categorically vetoed it, saying: "No, maybe what you said is reasonable, but the remaining roads are really not suitable. There are dangerous narrow places. The Tang army only needs to seal there in advance, and we can only Sitting and waiting... I can't gamble, and I have no capital to gamble.

Only this way, if our strength is strong enough, we may be able to break through this line of defense, as long as we pass through here, then we will be able to leap into the sea and let the birds fly in the sky. "

"Your Majesty means..." Zhu Yunrang's eyes flickered with horror. If it was really what he thought, then many people would die, maybe all these soldiers would die here...

Chapter 299 The Flame Burns the City

"That's what you think." Bafavalman said coldly with a trace of ruthlessness on his face, "These people were defeated without fighting against less than three thousand enemies—they have lost their qualifications as fighters, and even more so There is no need to live anymore... Now it is their honor to pave the way for me with their blood."

"..." Zhu Yunrang involuntarily fought a cold war. Bafavalman's meaning is very simple, that is to use the tactics of crowds, fill the fort with human lives, and fill the fort alive-more importantly, this is It is possible to do it, the fortress is only three feet high, and there are at most 1 young troops inside.

But on my own side, there are a total of 8 or 10 rout soldiers at the scene, and there are still a steady stream of rout soldiers gathering here, plus Baffar Walman's personal soldiers, at most one hour here You can gather 10 people... [-] people, if you really want to rush in there, even though the young army is elite, it is very likely that they will not be able to hold it.

"But these routs may not listen to us." This is what Zhu Yunrang is most worried about. Bafavalman thinks well, but routs are human, and they want to live, otherwise why would they be deserters?Now that they have finally seen a way out, why should they die for you?

"This is simple..." Bafarvalman was full of confidence, and he was about to speak, but a "woo woo woo" sound interrupted him.

"What's that sound?" Bafavalman asked curiously, but before Zhu Yunrang could answer, the flames and screams that erupted from the rout in front told him the answer.

"what!"

"My clothes, my clothes are on fire."

"Who will help me?"

"Ah, it hurts me to death, it hurts to death."

"Where is the water? Give me water quickly."

"No, kill me, kill me quickly."

"..."

The screams one after another were endless, and Bafarvalman, who was standing on a high place, could see them more clearly.After the sound of 'woo hoo' fell to the ground, a ball of flame burst out suddenly, and the flame splashed in all directions under the force of the explosion, covering a radius of [-] feet.

The people near the explosion point were better, they were directly burned to death by the flames, and they didn't feel any pain at all.But people who are on the edge will be in bad luck. Even if only one hand is touched, the flame will bite it like a maggot on the tarsus bone. Will set the other hand on fire... unless you cut it off.If the hand is burned, it can be cut off, but what if the head or other important or large-scale organs are burned?

Bafavalman saw with his own eyes that a man's back was on fire, and several colleagues nearby tried to help him put out the fire, but instead of extinguishing the fire, the clothes of another man were also set on fire, and others threw fire on him. He poured water, but the flames burned more vigorously, and flowed to more places through the water... In the end, everyone could only watch him being burned alive.

What's even more frightening is that there are not only one such flames, and more than once. The large cannons on the barrier are still spraying the same flames. Maintain a state of continuous fire suppression.

With each spray, there is a howl within a hundred feet of the shell's landing point. Looking at the shell's landing point, some people want to avoid it, but the people here are too dense, and it is impossible to avoid it. In the end, only I can just watch the flames hooking my soul away like the chain of the god of death.

The artillery bombardment lasted for half an hour before it stopped—it was not because they felt pity, but because there was no need to continue the bombing, because within the range of the artillery, there were no living people... Those who could escape had already escaped Those who fell, and those who couldn't escape, were already buried in the flames.

At this time, night had fallen, but the open space in front of the fortress was brightly lit, because there were endless 'humanoid torches' burning... The entire fortress had completely turned into a Shura field.

There was silence in the Shura field, only the crackling flames, the movement of the body that caused the muscles to constrict and twitch due to the burning, and... the smell of meat that permeated the entire battlefield...

But the smell of meat did not arouse anyone's appetite, but instead made many people look pale and retch.

Baffarman's face is also not good-looking. Rao is known for his ruthlessness. He has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he claims to be used to the smell of blood, but he still feels his stomach churning in the face of such a tragedy. As for Zhu Yunrang - he had already fainted from vomiting.

"Your Majesty... let's surrender..." This was Zhu Yunrang's first words when Youyou woke up.

In this case, if it were half an hour ago, Bafavalman would have definitely killed Zhu Yunrang with a single knife, but now, looking at the battlefield like a Shura field in front of him, and seeing a few miles away who was frightened by the fierce flames and went crazy again After the troops were defeated, Bafavalman only left a silent sigh...

Of course he is not reconciled, but now that the situation is like this, surrender is his only choice - as I said before, the biggest difference between a hero and a hero is that a hero values ​​his promises and despises his life and death, such as Xiang Yu.But Xiongxiong cherishes life even more, reputation is nothing in their eyes, and they can do anything to save their lives, such as Liu Bang.

And usually a hero can't do a hero, because a gentleman can bully him, and a hero is a gentleman.And the heroes are even more shameless, they don't care if what they do is moral or not, as long as they can achieve their goals.

Undoubtedly, Bafavalman is indeed a hero. He knows very well that there is hope only when he is alive, and he is nothing when he dies. A person may leave a good reputation when he dies, but compared with his own life, What's the use of fame? ——Someone once commented that in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is a hero, Cao Cao is a traitor, and Sun Quan is a hero. Let’s not mention the evaluation of the latter two, but Liu Bei is absolutely unworthy of the title of hero. Compared with the latter two, he is More like a hero.

Abandoning his wife and children in order to survive, he is almost exactly the same as his ancestor Liu Bang-if he is really a descendant of Liu Bang.

Such behavior cannot be compared with a hero.

Faced with the choice between survival and dignity, Baffarvarman obviously chose the former...

Although Baffarman didn't make a clear statement, Zhu Yunrang still understood what he meant, and quickly took out a white flag that he didn't know when he had prepared: "My lord, I'll go test the other party and see what they really mean to you!" manner?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bafarman to agree, he took a deep breath, and under the respectful or excited eyes of everyone, he walked down the hillside with a trace of sadness and entered the Shura field.
