The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 626 Persuading Surrender

Nantianmen, prison

Due to the collection of 40,000 prisoners, the prison was overcrowded, with dozens of people crammed into each small room.

Today, many prisoners were forced out of prison and sent to clean up the battlefield. This work is hard and tiring, and these prisoners eat and drink for free every day. Instead of letting the Qingzhou army do it, it is better to let the prisoners do some work.

In response, most of the Ningchuan Army did not resist, and the light in their eyes had already disappeared. The battle yesterday had made them stupid, and their cognition was overturned.

The army of 100,000 was crushed from beginning to end against the enemy's 40,000 troops. Even in their 100-man brigade, they might not be able to find a single person who had killed a Daqian soldier.

The pitch-black armor, the cold blades, the flames all over the ground, and the remains of their comrades appeared in their dreams, waking them up in the middle of the night.

"The casualties are counted. One hundred and forty Qingzhou soldiers were killed, twenty-three Xianzhen soldiers were killed, and seven hundred and fifty-two Yantian soldiers were killed."

The vanguard soldiers were almost all covered in iron armor, even their horses were no exception. An ordinary blade could only leave a scratch on them.

Coupled with the tacit cooperation between the soldiers, although they were the first army to launch the charge, they suffered the least casualties.

The Qingzhou Army was mainly infantry, responsible for finishing the job. When they entered the battlefield, the tough guys had been almost cleared out, with only a few resistances, so although they were a little inferior in terms of weapons and armor, few people died.

When the Yantian Army entered the battlefield, they first encountered a wave of confrontation with dozens of personal soldiers led by Lu Jin, and then encountered more than a dozen waves of resistance in succession, each time with hundreds or thousands of people.

Although Lei Zhenzi opened the way and the enemy's formation was not well formed, they could still take advantage of the momentum, but the Ningchuan soldiers were more numerous and it brought them a lot of trouble, so the number of casualties was also higher.

Daqian lost a total of more than 900 people in this battle. Of the 100,000 troops of Ningchuan Kingdom, some died, some surrendered, and some fled. Only dozens of people followed General Lu He to fight. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out.

Daqian won a great victory.

Jian Feng led the way and came to the innermost prison with Lin Xiaofan.

A little light came from the small window on the wall, dispelling some of the darkness in the prison. In the small room, there was only some straw.

Among them was a man in dirty and ragged clothes with disheveled hair, with shackles on his legs and hands. He was eating from a bowl in the sun.

The food in the bowl was almost the same as what the Qingzhou army ate.

When he saw the two people coming, Lu Gou just looked up, glanced at them, and continued eating, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Squeak."

The door opened and two people walked in.

"How was the meal?"

Jian Feng asked.

"good."

Lu Gou's unclear voice was heard, mixed in with the sound of swallowing food.

Lin Xiaofan was not in a hurry. He signaled the jailer to bring three chairs. The three of them sat down, and the only sound left on the field was the sound of Lu Gou eating.

After a while, Lu Gou put down the empty bowl and burped.

"Untie General Lu."

Jian Feng spoke with a kinder smile on his face.

Several soldiers stepped forward and untied the shackles. Lu Gou looked at Lin Xiaofan who was standing aside. He looked like a scholar, but there were some signs of martial arts training, but not much.

Isn't this Jian Feng afraid that he will suddenly attack Lin Xiaofan?

"A complete victory?"

Lu Gou asked.

"Lü He escaped with dozens of people."

Jian Feng shook his head slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the result.

Lu Gou was stunned, with a hint of surprise and more of disbelief in his eyes.

He knew the strength of Lu Jin and Lu He. It could be said that there were no more powerful generals than them in the entire Ningchuan country.

Of course, Jian Feng, Jian Bai, and Lin Xiaofan are far stronger than the Lu family father and son, and he has also thought about the defeat of the Ningchuan army.

But no matter how big the strategic mistake was, it would be impossible for only a few dozen people to escape from an army of 100,000, right?

Even if there were 100,000 pigs running around in panic, there wouldn't be only this many people walking out.

"More than 900 brothers died."

Lin Xiaofan sighed.

Lu Gou could no longer hold back his excitement. He stood up and stretched his head out of the prison gate. Looking outside, he could barely make out several prison cells around him, each of which was filled with dozens of people.

And in such a prison, you can hardly see the end at a glance.

"Take you out for a look?"

Jian Feng spoke. Now Lu Gou had no weapons on him, and his hands and feet were all tied up, so he posed no threat to them.

After a moment of silence, Lu Gou nodded, and a voice as thin as a mosquito sounded:

"Ah."

Walking on the road to the prison, he was surrounded by Ningchuan's soldiers, whose hands and feet were tied and whose faces looked miserable, like a group of dead people.

He saw hundreds of such rooms along the way.

Even after he walked out of the prison and the sun shone on him, his mood did not improve at all.

Looking up, I saw countless Qingzhou soldiers patrolling with high spirits.

The three of them left the city. Lu Gou looked outside the city. The flames of war had been extinguished, and there were countless deep pits and broken limbs on the battlefield. Many prisoners were cleaning up the battlefield, and the Qingzhou Army was patrolling outside.

If anyone wants to escape, he will definitely not be able to escape the Qingzhou army's crossbows.

After roughly estimating the number of prisoners, he knew that Jian Feng and Lin Xiaofan were not lying.

The Ningchuan army was defeated, and it was a complete and crushing defeat.

But he still couldn't figure out how these people did it.

"General Lu is a skilled warrior, but he only holds a minor position in the Ningchuan Army. Why don't you come to my Qingzhou Army?"

Jian Feng invited.

"Haha, I can't be called a general. In front of General Jian, I can't be called a martial arts expert." Lu Gou rarely smiled and said, "If I don't agree, what should General Jian do?"

Looking at Lu Gou who looked calm and composed, Jian Feng said, "If General Lu disagrees, just leave. But General Lu, your personality and temper suit my taste, so I want to keep you."

Lu Gou narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

A breeze blew, lifting his hair, and his rough face was full of sadness.

Scenes from the past appeared in his mind, and the last thing that froze in his mind was the blurry smile of his parents and sister.

"General, please kill me. Living is too tiring."

Lu Gou seems to have accepted his fate.

"Why did the general seek death?"

Lin Xiaofan asked.

It would be fine if Lu Gou didn't agree to Jian Feng's persuasion to surrender, but he even refused to leave when asked to. Why?

"I was born in an ordinary family. When I was thirteen years old..."

When Lu Gou talked about the past, it was unclear whether he was telling it to the two of them or to himself.

At the end of his speech, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Jian Feng and Lin Xiaofan were also silent. Everyone who heard about Lu Gou cried. There were many such incidents during the war years.

Not to mention massacring a village, even massacring a city was a common occurrence. When Zong Wenfu attacked Daqian, he massacred a city every time he captured a county.
