I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 281 Nie Bei was captured and Kun Jun surrendered

King Ma Ling of the South led an elite cavalry and charged back and forth in the Kun army's formation. He charged with a purpose and in circles, thinning out the guards around Nie Bei layer by layer along the way.

To capture the enemy commander, it is not possible to just kill him directly. The enemy is not a fool. The commander must be surrounded by the elite of the elite, who will make them bruised and bloody.

Ma Ling made full use of the mobility of the cavalry, constantly killing enemy soldiers and circling around. Soon, only about a thousand people were left in the guard corps around Nie Bei.

At this time, Ma Ling gave the order to surround the enemy and charge directly.

Several cavalry teams fiercely attacked the enemy's weak defense line, divided the battlefield, surrounded the enemy's battle formation, and strangled the enemy.

Ma Ling brought his most elite guards to Nie Bei's platform.

On the platform, Nie Bei's guards roared and rushed towards Ma Ling.

These guards are the most loyal, and they will never surrender without the commander's order.

Ma Ling led his men to dismount, swung their swords, and attacked the guards.

Ma Ling is extremely powerful and is a top-notch warrior.

The uncle of the Emperor of Great Yan showed his bravery generously on the battlefield.

Soon, all the guards were slaughtered by Ma Ling and his men.

Nie Bei was the only one left on the stage.

Ma Ling held the knife and walked up the stairs step by step.

Behind him were guards holding knives, staring at the commander of the Kun army with murderous eyes.

Nie Bei sighed to the sky, took out his sword, turned around, faced south, with his back to Ma Ling, and put the sword to his neck.

"Your Majesty! I have done my best! I have served my country faithfully and sacrificed my life for the people. This is a worthy death!"

I hope Your Majesty will work hard to govern the country, strengthen the military, and recover our great kingdom!"

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and was about to wipe his throat.

Suddenly, two big hands stretched out from behind.

The right hand behind him grabbed his right wrist, preventing him from slashing with the sword no matter what.

The left hand behind him strangled his neck directly from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Nie Bei felt dizzy and then fell to the ground with a thud. The sword in his hand fell out of his hand and he was pinned to the ground.

"I learned this move from that guy surnamed Shen."

Ma Ling vaguely remembered that time when he had a duel with Shen Changgong, Shen Changgong did not follow the ethics of martial arts and choked Ma Ling from behind, defeating him.

This time, he learned it.

If you want to commit suicide, just do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?

He handed the knife directly to the guard, tiptoed over, and captured Nie Bei.

The guards rushed forward and tied Nie Bei up.

Ma Ling took the knife and cut off Nie Bei's big flag with one stroke, then shouted loudly,

"Listen, Kunjun! Your commander has been captured. Surrender immediately! You will not be killed if you surrender!"

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

Countless Yan troops around shouted in unison.

The Kun army turned to look at the flags, but found that the large banner was gone.

The banner is the symbol of the commander-in-chief. If the banner is gone, it basically means that the commander-in-chief is gone too.

The head coach is gone, so why am I still making a move?

I voted. I voted.

The morale of Kun's army was in chaos and they had completely lost their spirit. Many soldiers on the front line laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Surrender without killing!"

"Hold your head and squat down!"

“Line up!”

Seeing that the Kun army began to surrender, the Yan army also slowed down its offensive and only attacked the Kun army that had not surrendered.

Things like surrender basically spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people.

Soon, large groups of Kun’s army surrendered, followed by entire organizations.

Just less than five minutes.

All the remaining Kun troops surrendered.

The surrounding Yan troops were jubilant and shouted victory happily.

With 500,000 troops against 400,000, the Yan army completely wiped out the enemy and once again achieved a feat in the history of war.

Under the command of the Yan army, these Kun army soldiers were lined up in long lines and driven into the outside area.

Fortunately, this place is all desert and the area is large enough.

The Yan army used local materials, picked out the wood from the Kun army camp, threw it to the Kun army soldiers, and then asked them to pull it towards the Yan army camp, building a prisoner-of-war camp for themselves. It was extremely insulting.

If you want to raise cows and horses, the owner has to build a pen for them. But if you want to raise cows and horses, you just need to let them build the pen themselves.

Another part of the Yan army picked up the weapons dropped on the battlefield, gathered them all together and took them away to the Yan army camp.

Because it was late, no one cared about the bodies on the ground.

Prince Shen said that the army would rest for three days, and the prisoners of war would be brought here tomorrow to clean up the battlefield themselves.

The Yan army looted all the useful things such as weapons, tents, food, supplies, documents, etc. and took them all to the Yan army camp.

Only useless corpses were left, exposed in the wilderness as the sun set.

These matters were commanded by his generals, and Shen Changgong took the guards directly back to the central military camp.

In the general's tent, Shen Changgong and Ma Ling, with the help of the guards, took off their armor, washed their faces and hands, and cleaned the blood off their bodies.

"Brother Nan Wang, our army has won a resounding victory in this battle. The Kun army has been completely wiped out, leaving only the 300,000 central troops in Shengjing. The Kun Kingdom is on the decline, and its demise is imminent.

Brother Nan Wang deserves credit for this. The final battle was all thanks to your Zhennan Army showing its might and disrupting the battlefield."

Shen Changgong sat down with a smile.

Ma Ling sat on the chair, looking at Shen Changgong expressionlessly, and said,

"First, I am your uncle. If you continue to disrespect me, I will report you to His Majesty.

Second, this battle was not the achievement of our Zhennan Army alone, but the result of the entire army's life-saving and bloody battles. It was you, Shen Changgong, who personally went into battle to kill the enemy, consolidated the defense line, and commanded properly, which was the key to victory.

Third, if you continue to praise and criticize the Zhennan Army, causing dissatisfaction among the other legions, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Ah, yes, yes, we won a great victory, so everything you say is right."

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"But you can't deny the credit for capturing Nie Bei alive, right? His Highness the Southern Prince is unparalleled in bravery. He is truly the greatest warrior of Great Yan."

"That's natural."

Although Ma Ling still had a stern face and pretended to be dignified, the wildly raised corners of his mouth still betrayed his inner thoughts.

Capturing the enemy commander alive is the greatest honor in war.

Shen Changgong looked at the generals in the tent and said,

"Rest first tonight. Tomorrow we will clean up the battlefield and count the casualties and results of the battle. The army will rest for three days. Let the brothers have a good rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The generals responded to the order, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't the prince tell us to go back and rest?"

Zhang Yide spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, someone, bring Nie Bei up here!"
