After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 424 The end of the hero
With the death of "Gu Hanzhou" and Gu Mingfeng, the Liehuo Army's morale was broken and they were defeated one after another.
However, the core soldiers still insisted on fighting to the end. After all, they were an army that once dominated the desert, and they definitely had the strength.
Mu Linlang sounded the retreat, and Jiang Xue Ning's Xiang-Chu army also retreated temporarily.
The three parties confronted each other at a distance of two or three feet. Mu Linlang rode forward and looked up at Han Ting who had been standing on a high place to give orders. Behind him, a raging fire was burning on the Luming Mountain.
"Gu Hanzhou is dead. Does General Han really want to fight for him to the end?"
Han Ting looked at her with a sullen face and said nothing.
"These soldiers have fought bravely on the battlefield with General Han. Do you really have the heart to bury them in this battle?"
Han Ting was conflicted. Looking at the surrounded Fiery Army, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Xue Ning also took a step forward. She knew too well that generals like Han Ting, who had been tempered on the battlefield, were the most ambitious.
"Facing the enemy and not defending the country until death is a noble act and a courageous one, and is worthy of admiration. But he is still stubborn and unrepentant, which is disloyal and unfilial, and is a great treason!"
These words hit the nail on the head. He shook his body and looked at the Fiery Army below and said, "Do you want to go home?"
The young soldier who was closest to him said with red eyes, "If someone attacks Mobei, I am willing to die for Mobei. But now, what's the point..."
"My wife and my daughter, who was born last year, are still waiting for me to come home. How could I become a traitor..."
"I joined the Fiery Army when I was sixteen, and have been with the Prince General for eight years. I have fought with all my might every time on the battlefield, and have been injured many times, but I have never regretted it. But this time, why?"
"I, Liu Dachui, am not a coward, nor am I afraid of death. But this time, I'm afraid I will die with regrets..."
Gradually, more and more people spoke up. He closed his eyes in pain, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
The King of Mobei may not have been strong enough when facing Gu Hanzhou for various reasons. But it must be said that he is a good monarch. Under his rule, Mobei basically lived and worked in peace.
So even though the royal family and the Regent Palace were fighting overtly and covertly, the people actually had no intention of rebelling. As for the soldiers, they were always on the battlefield, not in the court. Most of them were away from home all year round, and they didn't care about or feel sensitive to the filthiness of the court and the open and covert struggles of the powerful.
Although the Fiery Army was controlled by Gu Hanzhou alone, he had also fought for Mobei.
Even this time, except for the core generals, most of the soldiers only knew that they were here to attack Xiang and Chu.
Having come to this point today, going against Mobei and becoming so-called rebels, most people are mentally devastated.
Han Ting looked at the young woman on the horse and asked in a deep voice, "These soldiers have driven out foreign enemies and expanded the territory. Will the princess be able to treat them well in the future?"
He knew that the young woman would be the new generation king of Mobei in the future, so he needed a promise.
Mu Linlang said loudly, "Heaven is above, and the earth is my witness. I swear in the name of the Princess of Mobei that as long as they lay down their weapons and surrender, I will never kill them. Those who are willing to continue to be soldiers can be incorporated into the other three armies after returning, and those who are unwilling can disarm and return to the fields according to the rules.
"They have fought for Mobei over the years, and Mobei remembers all of that. They will not wipe out everything they have done just because of this incident."
She is very courageous and responsible. He thinks it is a blessing for Mobei to welcome such a queen, and Gu Hanzhou's loss is not unfair.
He raised his military token and shouted, "I order everyone to lay down their weapons!"
The soldiers laid down their weapons one after another, so that the battle would not end too tragically.
After Han Ting said this, he seemed to have lost all his energy and looked old in an instant.
He looked at the flag of the Fiery Army flying beside him and reviewed his life. Born in a poor family, relying on his tall stature, he joined the army at the age of fifteen for the sake of military pay.
It has been sixteen years now, and he earned his position as "General" by fighting his way through the battlefield.
He fought with a clear conscience in every battle, defending Mobei as well as invading other countries.
This time, he was really tired.
Mu Linlang stepped forward and continued, "The general has made great contributions to Mobei. When this matter returns to Mobei, father will certainly consider how to deal with it. The merits and demerits will be offset, and the general will not be wronged."
It was almost like a hint to him that his life would not be taken. Of course, it was impossible for him to continue to lead the army as a general. Most likely, he would be allowed to retire with dignity and become an ordinary citizen again.
"I have fought in many battles, won and lost. Half of my life so far has been spent on the battlefield. I have lived my life with no regrets."
If there is an afterlife, I don't want to be a soldier anymore. I just want to live an ordinary life with small bridges, flowing water and people around.
A smiling face flashed through his mind. She came to see him off on the day he was leaving for the war, and the hairpin on her head was very beautiful.
But he didn't dare to give her any promise because he was afraid that he would not be able to go back.
When he left, he looked back at her figure. He wanted to finish the battle and then go to her house to ask for her hand in marriage.
After all, there is no going back. She is still young and deserves better...
Han Ting picked up the sword that had accompanied him in battles for many years, and resolutely committed suicide in front of the flag of the Fiery Army, ending his magnificent life.
"General...general..."
Soon there were screams and cries. This legendary general in the desert, once the backbone of Mobei, ended his life in this way.
Jiang Xue Ning thought of the Gu family members who also became victims of the imperial power and died on the battlefield with their eyes wide open. She sighed softly and said, "I am most afraid of the beauty withering bones and the hero's end."
Mu Linlang walked up to him, tore off the Fiery Army flag and covered him with it, and had his body collected and prepared to be taken back to Mobei so that he could have a dignified last journey.
At night, the soldier who was disguising him found a string of red bean acacia bracelets in his arms, with the word "Rong" engraved on the bell.
The soldier guessed that the bracelet had special meaning, so he gave it to Mu Linlang.
Mu Linlang looked at the bracelet in silence for a while and said, "I have seen Miss Rongrong at the banquet. She is a kind girl who is gentle as water and tenacious."
Gu Tangli sighed, "She can't wait for him anymore..."
There is one more sad person in this world. Separation and death are too common in troubled times.
Nine out of ten romances in troubled times are tragic.
Mu Linlang took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the red bean acacia bracelet, preparing to give it to Miss Rongrong after returning to Mobei.
The soldiers outside were still cleaning up the aftermath of the battlefield. Many secret guards came to say goodbye to Qiu Ling, but more of them disappeared silently into the night.
"They all left to pursue their new lives."
Yun Que also smiled with relief, "It's great, everything is over."
Xiao Cao said, "Let's leave tomorrow."
"Okay, we'll leave together tomorrow and start our new lives."
When the sun rises, a new day begins.
