"I promise you."
"I will definitely send you home for burial."
After a long time, Su Yang wiped away his tears.
He had no choice but to agree. This was the last request of the soldiers, and it was also their simplest hometown sentiment.
More than half of the more than 8,000 soldiers in Xishan have been lost so far. Whether they are alive or dead, they all hope to return to their hometown and return to their roots.
You can die, you can die on the battlefield, you can be wrapped in horse leather, but you can't die on the battlefield without anyone caring about you.
In that case, they will not be able to return to their hometown, they will not be able to enter their ancestral graves, and they will become lonely ghosts!
Su Yang stood up, took the white cloth from Xu Xiang's hand, and then covered the soldier's face.
He turned around and looked at all the soldiers in the trench. All the soldiers were watching him silently at this moment.
Su Yang wiped away the tears on his face and shouted loudly: "We do have reinforcements, and they are on their way!"
"The King of Yan, Zhu Di, went to Daning in person and fought to the death with Daning soldiers to fight for a way out for our Yan army!"
"The Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, is defending Peiping with his old, weak, sick and disabled people. Facing the main force of the Confederate army of two to three hundred thousand, he is still defending the city with all his strength so far!"
"As for our Xishan army, with eight thousand against fifty thousand, we killed nearly thirty thousand Confederate troops. We are also fighting with all our might!"
Su Yang's voice was not loud, but it fell into the ears of all the soldiers clearly.
yes!
Everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion is working hard!
King Yan Zhu Di personally led his troops to kill Daning. After the bloody battle in Daning, he also led his troops to fight back from Daning!
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, led the old, weak, sick and disabled to defend Peiping, fighting against two to three hundred thousand elite Southern troops. So far, he has been holding on for nearly more than a month!
The life-and-death danger they face is far more dangerous than Xishan!
"No one in the Yan army flinched!"
"Everyone in the Yan army is fighting to the death!"
"No one in the Yan army is a coward!"
"I, Su Yang, cannot guarantee that you will survive, because I will also die in Xishan!"
"But if you die in the battle, I will personally take each of you back to your hometown!"
"If I, Su Yangruo, die in battle, I will also send a letter to His Highness King Yan, asking him to send each of us home!"
"This is my promise, Su Yang's, and even more so, my Prince Yan's Mansion's promise!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers struggled to stand up.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Su Yang solved their worries after dying in battle.
They no longer have any worries.
People die and birds fly to the sky!
Just die!
Su Yang bowed to the soldiers with tears in his eyes and refused to get up for a long time.
The soldiers did not just accept it, but knelt on one knee and swore an oath to their commander.
In the following time, the soldiers treated the wounded soldiers, collected Paoze's body, strengthened the trench fortifications, and took advantage of the break to eat dry food and drink water.
The Southern Army also strangely did not launch an attack. Several hours had passed since the last attack, which gave the Yan Army soldiers a rare chance to breathe.
There was temporary peace and tranquility on the battlefield, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
The next attack by the Southern Army will be even crazier and the war will be even more brutal!
They are all dying here!
There was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats, and the peace and tranquility was directly broken.
Su Yang hurriedly gave orders to prepare for battle, and personally carried a three-eyed gun.
However, they did not attack because the Confederate army was not here to attack this time.
I saw a Confederate general holding the royal flag high, appearing two hundred steps away from the fortifications.
This distance is within the range of bows, arrows and firecrackers.
So Xu Xiang couldn't hold himself back, and suggested in a low voice with murderous intent: "Young master, just kill him?"
The soldiers were about to take aim with the standard fire system, but Su Yang raised his hand.
"Look what his purpose is!" Su Yang shook his head.
If you ride alone, you must be envoys.
When two armies are fighting, it is a rule on the battlefield not to kill the envoys.
Su Yang also wanted to hear what Ping An's envoy had in mind at this time.
The general of the Southern Army raised the flag and shouted loudly: "By order of General Ping'an, I invite the Yan Army's chief general Su Yang to come out and make a statement."
Ping An knew about Su Yang's existence, which was not something difficult to understand.
The Xishan army and the Ping'an army have been fighting fiercely for so long. It is inevitable that some soldiers will be captured alive by the Confederate army.
It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Once it falls into the hands of the Confederate Army, the fate of the Xishan soldiers can be imagined.
They revealed some information about Xishan, and Su Yang was not surprised.
Xu Xiang nervously grabbed Su Yang's arm and said in a deep voice: "Young master, you can't go, I'm afraid there's a scam..."
Su Yang shook his head and said with a chuckle: "The situation has reached this point, why should the Southern Army set up another deception?"
"What's more, this is an invitation from the famous general Ping An. Su also wants to meet this famous general of the Southern Army. I believe that Ping An will not do anything dirty."
But that being said, when Su Yang accepted the invitation, he didn't really believe in Ping An, and he didn't even have any preparation measures.
So Su Yang set the meeting place about two hundred steps in front of the two armies' formation.
This location happens to be within the range of the Xishan Fire Gun.
Once something changes, the Xishan soldiers behind him will use firecrackers to protect him and cover his evacuation in time.
In addition, Su Yang also brought Jia Yi and Chu Xiong with him, but he really couldn't defeat them.
An hour after burning incense, Su Yang and Ping An officially met.
Before seeing Ping An, Su Yang had been thinking about what kind of person this famous Confederate general was.
After seeing it with his own eyes, Su Yang was a little disappointed, because Ping An's appearance was indeed a bit unremarkable and completely inconsistent with his reputation.
Ping An is not very tall, about 1.75 meters, slightly shorter than Su Yang.
Chinese character face, short beard.
The sword eyebrows are raised, and the eyes are not angry.
This is a face that is concerned about the country and its people.
Ping An has a well-proportioned figure. Although he is nearly fifty, he still looks tall and strong.
He walks in small steps. If you observe carefully, you will find that the distance he walks is exactly the same with each step.
From this point, we can see a person's temperament. Ping An must have extremely strict requirements for rules.
When Ping An came closer, Su Yang panicked a little, and his heart rose in his throat.
Because of the temperament of Ping An, people are subconsciously afraid of him.
This kind of cold and hard temperament that makes people feel uncomfortable can only be formed if his hands are stained with the blood of countless people.
He just stood there, even if he didn't speak, his stillness was intimidating.
Is this the style of a famous Ming general?
Su Yang admired secretly.
While he was observing Ping An, Ping An was also looking at Su Yang carefully.
There was a trace of surprise and horror in his eyes. Ping An did not expect that the man who led the Xishan army and crippled Ping An's army would be such a young boy!
Judging from his appearance alone, the only thing that makes Su Yang stand out is that he is as handsome as a jade, so handsome!
The appearance of such a young young man on this battlefield was originally very unconventional.
He should be a dandy, wandering in the brothel and Chu palace ten miles away from Qinhuai, instead of leading eight thousand soldiers to fight to the death with him in Xishan!
In front of the confrontation between the two armies, the Confederate soldiers had placed a low table, two futons, and a pot of steaming tea.
Ping An made a "please" gesture to Su Yang, and then sat down.
When Su Yang saw this, he was not timid and sat down on his own.
"Su Yang?"
"Safety?"
"Why don't you surrender?"
"Is it so straightforward?"
