Chapter 893
"Surrender or die!"
Zhishi Sili brought back the last reply from Emperor Qin.
There was a dead silence in the castle of Junzhen on the mountain.
"Break through, the whole army breaks through!"
Jie Li roared with red eyes.
But no one responded to him.
They went south from early summer, and autumn was already coming.
August is almost coming, and at this moment, the morale of the 100,000 people and horses on the mountain was low. They ate half of the horses, and there were still many horses left, but each of them was all thin and thin, and the horse hair was not covered at all.
Even if Turkic horses are recognized as easy to raise, they have enough endurance and are not short of outbreaks, and they don’t pick on feed, but if they don’t add any feed, they can’t stand it if they eat some leaves and grass roots every day. What’s more, they have been gnawing here for so long, and all the grass roots and leaves are going to be eaten up.
It is not easy for these horses to be alive now, but riding is definitely not as good as before. Maybe after a fierce battle, many horses will probably be exhausted.
There is no news about Kang Sumi yet.
Li Yuan, Dou Jiande and Liang Shi did not come to help either.
They have no hope.
But Jie Li still didn't want to surrender. He wanted to break through. As long as he could run back to Mobei, even if all the troops here were gone, he still had a chance to make a comeback.
It's just that no one responded.
Everyone looked numb and full of despair about the future.
The Emperor of the Qin Dynasty was extremely ruthless and cold this time, and refused their request for reconciliation, and even refused to allow them to surrender. In the past, if he was defeated, a surrendered letter could end the war, but this time, the Emperor was already extremely tough.
The generals disperse.
Jie Li sat helplessly in the tent.
Princess Yicheng comes in.
"Ke Dun, do I really want to kneel down and beg for mercy to Luo Cheng?"
"It will not be useful if you kneel down and beg for mercy. Luo Cheng will definitely kill you and then destroy the Turkic Khanate." Princess Yicheng pointed out mercilessly.
Jie Li clenched his fists, "What should I do? Will I sit and wait for death?"
"Shank you, you can only break through."
"Those who cannot break out have all the passes were guarded to death, just like the beginning of the year, there was no way out." Jie Li said in a defeat.
"As long as you are willing to break through, there is still a chance. The Great Wall Pass is only intercepting large groups of troops. If it is just a light cavalry team, then there are some animal paths and paths to walk around the mountains and cross the Great Wall to get out of the gate."
"How can only escape the Qin army's pursuit with only a small team of light cavalry?"
"That's better than being self-pitying here. If you don't try it, you will have no chance. Jie Li, cheer up. As long as you return to Mobei, you will still be the great khan of the Turks. There are hundreds of thousands of tents in Mobei, and you can still summon an army of 100,000 or even 200,000."
Jie Li shook his head.
"Hundreds of thousands of tents? It's true, but how could there be so many young and strong Turkic men? Shibi went south and lost 300,000 troops. This time I went south and lost 200,000. Even if the 50,000 people of Kangsumi were still there and returned to Mobei, there were no more strong tents in the tents of the tribes in Mobei. They were all young and old, and the rest were women and children."
"Young people can fight with the elderly, and even women can ride horses. As long as they are in the desert, Luo Cheng will not be able to kill us. We can't defeat us, but we can escape or run. The vast grasslands of more than ten thousand miles north of the desert cannot gather hundreds of thousands of people to encircle us like in Daibei. There is no Great Wall pass there, and no one can stop the Turks on the grassland. Ten years later, the young men became strong warriors, and their bows and arrows and spears were the minions that grew again by the wolves."
night.
The Turks broke through at night, and there were fires everywhere, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.
That night, about half of the Turkic people rushed down the mountain, trying to break through the barriers of the trench, and the battle continued until dawn.
After dawn, the Turks were driven back to the foot of the mountain again, leaving behind thousands of corpses.
When the Turkic Shijin returned to the mountain, they suddenly found that Jie Li Khan and Ke Dun were missing.
"Did you die in battle?"
But when I asked around, I didn't hear that they died in battle.
Finally, an injured Fuli Wolf Guard told them that after the battle began last night, Jie Li and Ke Dun and others changed into Qin army's clothes, armor and flags, and then took a Fuli Wolf Cavalry who also changed into Qin army's armor and went down the mountain in the chaos.
As for whether they had succeeded in getting out, he didn't know, because he was injured, abandoned, and then rescued back to the mountain.
"Has the big sweat ran away?"
The little Khan Ashina Suni was stunned on the spot. He was Jie Li's uncle and the brother of Qimin Khan, and was named Little Khan by Jie Li.
He never expected that Jie Li would leave everyone alone. Even if he wanted to break through, he would still break through together.
"What kind of khan he is!"
Suni was furious and shouted loudly.
"Changshengtian abandoned us, and Jie Li betrayed us!"
After a long time, nearly 50,000 people fought for a night last night, but Jie Li just lied to them to cover him and escape.
Now Jie Li may have run away, but they are not trapped here.
Half of the people who broke through last night were not involved, and they didn't want to fight at all because they knew it was useless.
Now that Jie Li ran away, everyone's morale plummeted.
"Surrender, otherwise everyone will have to starve to death here." Last night, thousands of people died, but tens of thousands of horses died.
Those hungry war horses are already exhausted.
Everyone looked at Suni.
As soon as Jie Li ran, Suni was most respected here because of his loss of status.
Suni was gasping for a long time and couldn't calm down.
In the end, after thinking about it, I couldn't find a better way.
"Subsequent."
After Suni Shi said these two words, his whole body collapsed there as if his muscles and bones were removed.
Zhidui's soul was asked by everyone to go down the mountain to ask for a descending place.
He rode his horse through the battlefield left after the breakout war last night. There were feather arrows everywhere, and a thick layer of them was inserted into the ground, as if strange crops had grown overnight.
Under these feather arrows, there are layers of corpses of Turkic warriors, and many dead war horses. Some of them were killed by arrows, and more were vomiting blood and foaming.
The earth was stained with dry blood with a dark purple color.
Flies were flying in groups, buzzing, and there were vultures hovering in the sky.
Zhishi Sili held a white flag high and came to the trench wall alone and wandered.
He shouted to the Qin army poked out behind the earthen wall.
"I am Zhishishili. I am on the order of the young Khan Ashinasuni to surrender on behalf of the Turkic soldiers on the mountain."
"Let's drop."
After hearing this, the head of the team behind the earthen wall turned around and ran backwards.
a long time.
A general came to the wall.
"Put down your weapons, take off your armor, raise your hands and hold your head, line up to go down the mountain, surrender unconditionally."
The loud voice echoed, and Zhidui's soul was a little lost in his mind, and he was stunned for a long time without answering.
The general didn't say anything anymore, and the air was extremely quiet for a moment.
a long time.
Zhishi Sili finally came to his senses. He nodded with difficulty, "We surrender unconditionally and we will go down the mountain immediately. Please do not shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows!"
