The seven thousand soldiers behind Liu Deng began to become silent. Apart from the occasional neighing of war horses, only the rumble of horse hooves was left.
Liu Deng has made it very clear,
In this battle, no one will be left alive!
Tarika was really unlucky. He was chased by the Han army all the way. In a panic, he rushed up an isolated mountain in the middle of the night. Only after going up the mountain did he realize that this was a desperate place.
On the other side of the top of the mountain is a cliff nearly a hundred feet high. The other two sides are full of dense woods and jagged rocks. Infantry can still barely walk, but cavalry can't even think about it.
Five thousand cavalrymen firmly blocked more than 10,000 Huns cavalry on this nameless solitary mountain.
By the time they came to their senses, the Han army had already laid out dense snagging ropes at the foot of the mountain, waiting for them to come and die.
Tarika was completely desperate this time. There were only two days left before him, either to die in battle or to surrender.
He is the right general of the Xiongnu. If he surrenders, this will be the biggest scandal since the war between Han and Xiongnu.
The furious Chanyu will definitely kill his tribe, but if they all die in battle.
He could imagine with his butt what those old, weak, women and children would face.
Where are the rules of the Great Huns? The strong owns everything, and the weak can only rely on the strong. His tribe will be divided up quickly, and then disappear without a trace...
Looking at the lifeless soldiers around him, Tarika understood that this time he was completely finished.
These soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore. At this time, they are simply a group of lambs ready to be slaughtered.
Just a few days ago, the entire Han Dynasty was still letting them take whatever they wanted. Why did things become like this in just a few days?
Tarika didn't understand it until now, but compared to the fear of death, he finally decided to surrender. Anyway, these Han Dynasty people are easy to fool!
The Han army had no intention of attacking. He knew that the opponent was waiting for subsequent reinforcements to arrive.
But it doesn't matter, I have decided to surrender anyway, as long as I am still alive, it doesn't matter anything else!
As for women and children, as long as they are still alive, they can naturally get them back if they find an opportunity to escape back to the grassland!
However, he really thought too simply, if he met other princes and kings.
As long as he is willing to surrender, this is of course a great thing. Those people will treat him as a treasure. This is a treasure that can be presented to the Ancestral Temple as a prisoner!
The great ancestor Liu Bang was a second-rate man all his life, and he suffered a lot of cowardice in his life. However, he died in depression shortly after he escaped from Baideng and returned to the palace.
It can be seen that this incident had a great impact on Liu Bang, and this was a real achievement!
But what a pity!
What he met was Liu Deng who didn't play by the rules at all...
It was just after noon, and I chewed two pieces of dried meat randomly, but it was too dry. When Tarika was about to take a drink of water, she suddenly heard a commotion of people and horses down the mountain.
"Reporting to your lord, a group of Han troops came down from the mountain. It looks like there are thousands of people!"
Tarika now understood that reinforcements from the Han army had arrived, and it seemed that they were about to start attacking the mountain.
"I know that you are all warriors of the Huns, but we are desperate now. This general is determined to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Are you willing?"
At this time, it was time to stare. Tarika spoke very directly and didn't care whether these people would object.
The Han army is at the foot of the mountain. If you don't want to, you can just go down and kill the enemy.
Sure enough, after a week of patrolling with the handle of the knife in his hand, no one had any objections.
"Your Majesty, these Huns have been surrounded on the mountain. They cannot escape this time!"
"May I have your name?"
Liu Deng asked expressionlessly.
"Back to your Majesty, the last general, Su Jian, is Captain Ying Yang of the imperial court's Jian Zhang Army!"
Su Jian knelt down in front of Liu Deng's horse with an excited look on his face. He had gotten a big deal this time. With such a big contribution, he could laugh even in his dreams.
"Is that Su Jian? Send the order and start cutting down the wood for me from the bottom of the mountain. The new army will surround the perimeter and everyone will be on guard in a three-stage firing formation!"
Liu Deng's voice was calm and gentle, but Su Jian shuddered when he heard it;
"Your Majesty, you are..."
Su Jian asked softly.
"Give me the order to cut a three-hundred-step passage for me. All the trees will be piled up on the way down the mountain!"
Liu Deng's face was covered with frost. Su Jian didn't dare to continue speaking, so he had to bite the bullet and go down to give instructions.
Like a precise war machine, the Han army began to operate rapidly.
Now that he was ready to surrender, Tarika stopped talking nonsense and directly tore off a piece of white cloth from his clothes, bit his finger, and wrote a letter of surrender in white letters. He selected a few of his confidants and ordered them to surrender directly. Send it to the Han army camp.
Seeing that his confidants had safely entered the Han army's camp, he felt relieved. Now he was waiting for the Han army to come up and surrender. What kind of official position should he get from the Han Dynasty?
He has already begun to admire it!
"Reporting to the king, Tarika's envoys have arrived. They want to meet the king and present a letter of surrender to the king in person!"
The soldiers on guard outside were all Su Jian's cavalry. After receiving the news, Su Jian was so excited that he felt like he was walking with wind.
However, there was no reaction on Liu Deng's face.
"King?"
Su Jian asked softly again.
"Let them in!"
Liu Deng finally ordered softly.
"Are you the acting king Liu Deng?"
The three Huns were finally brought to Liu Deng, but they had been ordered before they came not to lose Tarika's majesty.
Tarika also understood that it would be too worthless if he groveled at this time.
Although he surrendered, he still had more than 10,000 elite cavalry, and these people were his greatest capital.
"Don't your knees buckle?"
Liu Deng never paid attention to these things before, but today, he felt that he should teach them well.
"The warriors of the Great Huns will only kneel before the ancestral gods and the Great Chanyu!"
The three guards said in unison.
"Very well, come here, behead this guy on the spot!"
Liu Deng stared at the three Huns and pointed at the guy at the front.
"You, you can't kill me! The two countries are at war, Buza is here to envoy!"
"Hahaha, you are desperate, what do you think your mother is going to do? Kill her on the spot!"
Liu Deng laughed angrily, and several of his guards rushed forward, dragged the guy up and stabbed him!
He cut off Liu Deng's head with a knife right in front of his horse!
The remaining two Huns originally wanted to resist, but after searching their bodies for a while, they remembered that the scimitars had been left outside the camp gate.
"I think you have the same backbone as him. Come on, chop this one down too!"
With a sneer on his lips, Liu Deng pointed at the vicious-looking guy on the left and gave the order again.
"Me! Wu-wu-"
Just as the guy was about to speak, he was held down by several guards with a grin on his face and a knife in his pocket!
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
The remaining Huns were so frightened that they kowtowed like garlic. Damn it, in front of your life, what is face but not face? What is face?
"Hahahaha! You chickens and dogs, go back and tell Tarika that I will not accept surrender and order him to prepare for war. In this battle, I will leave no one alive! Get out!"
