In front of Haizhong City, 20,000 troops lined up. A burly middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes frowned and paced back and forth. This man was Lu Ming, the defender of Haizhong City. He really wanted to surrender. Ning Chen, the Great Xuan God of War, was invincible and had never lost in the wars. Originally, I thought Xiang Xiuming could stop him. But it was only a short time? The city was broken and the people died. When he learned that Xiang Xiuming had died in the battle and Linhai City was broken, he made up his mind to surrender. It was not that he was cowardly, but he really couldn't win. In addition, Li Wenshu and He Guanyu came back and told him about the Showa Army... 30,000 troops, no one survived.
How can this battle be fought? Xiang Xiuming's 50,000 troops, plus 30,000 Showa troops, 80,000 people couldn't stop Ning Chen's footsteps, and he only had 20,000 people, so what was there to fight. Lu Ming knew very well that if he wanted to survive, he had to surrender. But Ning Chen told Li Wenshu and He Guanyu to come back and wait for news... This made him sleepless these days. What if Ning Chen didn't accept their surrender and slaughtered them all? Lu Ming was panicking now! He Guanyu and Li Wenshu were also worried. They didn't know whether Ning Chen would accept their surrender? As for fighting? Forget it... If it were someone else, they would definitely not surrender, but they were facing Ning Chen. Nanyue, Xiliang, Tuo Luo Kingdom... all suffered at the hands of Ning Chen. Their 20,000 people didn't even have the courage to fight Ning Chen. "Report... General Ning Chen's army is less than three miles away from us." The scout rode his horse, galloped over, and shouted loudly. Lu Ming and his men trembled and immediately became nervous. "Is my dress okay?" Lu Ming looked at Li Wenshu and asked. Li Wenshu shook his head, "No problem!" "Deputy General He, take off your weapons quickly. When you meet Ning Chen later, don't bring weapons with you. Don't let him misunderstand that you are provoking him." He Guanyu hurriedly took off the sword at his waist and handed it to the soldier next to him!
Lu Ming looked at the neatly lined soldiers, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Soldiers, it's not that I, Lu Ming, am afraid of death, but I just don't want to increase casualties." "Some of you have followed me for a long time, you should know who I am? This general doesn't want to see you bleed and sacrifice... We are all sons of Daxuan, there is no need to fight and kill each other." "I believe you have heard of General Ning Chen Ning's name... When you meet General Ning later, don't show hostility to avoid misunderstandings." "General Xiang Xiuming was defeated and killed, and the 30,000 troops of Showa were slaughtered by General Ning... We can't stop General Ning's cavalry, saving your lives is the only thing I can do!" "Now, put down your weapons and follow me to respect General Ning into the city." Twenty thousand soldiers put down their weapons. As a soldier, who hasn't heard of Ning Chen's name and his glorious achievements. "General Lu, here he comes!" Lu Ming turned his head to look. At the end of the horizon, battle flags fluttered, and tens of thousands of troops stretched across the land. The hooves of horses clanged, and the ground shook. The army was still a hundred feet away from the city, and Lu Ming, Li Wenshu, and He Guanyu trotted all the way to meet them. Ning Chen raised his hand, and the army slowly stopped. "I am Lu Ming, the defender of Haizhong City, and I pay my respects to General Ning!" Ning Chen rode Diao Chan, looked down at him, and took out the surrender letter from his arms, "Did you send them to deliver it?" Lu Ming looked up, clasped his fists and leaned over, "Yes, we are sincere in surrendering, and I hope General Ning will raise his hand and give us a chance to atone for our crimes!" Ning Chen sneered, "You can rebel if you want, and surrender if you want... You take yourself too seriously, don't you?" Lu Ming trembled, "I am deeply favored by the emperor, and rebellion is really a last resort. I have parents above and a wife and children below. , are all in the hands of King Rui...It is difficult to be both loyal and righteous. I know I am wrong and am willing to be punished! " "Are you willing to be punished?" Ning Chen slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist, threw it casually, and stabbed it under Lu Ming's feet. He said coldly: "Rebellion is a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of your family. How can you get away with it just by saying you know you are wrong?" "Lu Ming, I will give you two choices. First, if you commit suicide to apologize, I can spare the lives of 20,000 soldiers under your command. Second, if you refuse, I will lead the army to charge, and you and your 20,000 soldiers will die here. " Lu Ming's face turned pale, and he stared at the dagger on the ground with a dull look. Li Wenshu and He Guanyu fell to their knees, kowtowed and begged: "General Ning, please raise your hand, please raise your hand..." Ning Chen looked at them expressionlessly, and said calmly: "The crime of treason should be punished by the execution of nine generations of the family... Now only one person is dead, isn't this considered as raising your hand?" "General Lu, make a choice quickly? I don't have time to waste with you here." Lu Ming raised his head, his face pale, "Thank you General Ning, I just hope that after I die, General Ning can keep his promise and not implicate others." Ning Chen said coldly: "Of course, this general is as good as his word." Lu Ming's fingers trembled as he pulled out the dagger on the ground. He Guanyu rushed over, pressed Lu Ming's wrist, looked at Ning Chen and begged: "General Ning, I am willing to die for General Lu, please help me."
"You are a loyal and brave man." Ning Chen turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward, and said calmly with his hands behind his back: "In this case, then you will die with General Lu." He Guanyu was stunned for a moment. Lu Ming's face was filled with horror. "General Ning, this matter has nothing to do with Deputy General He. He was just following orders. The treason is all my fault." "General Ning, I'm going... Please let the others go." After saying that, Lu Ming's eyes were determined, and the dagger in his hand stabbed his neck fiercely. Dang! ! ! A stone knocked the dagger out of Lu Ming's hand. Lu Ming looked at Ning Chen blankly. Ning Chen was playing with a few stones in his hand, looking at Lu Ming and said, "The distance between you and me is only ten feet. You only need to take a step forward to assassinate me. Why don't you do it?" Lu Ming was stunned and leaned over hurriedly, "I dare not!" "Don't you dare? Or are you not sure?" Lu Ming said, "I dare not! As a military general, I know what an invincible general means to a country?" "As long as General Ning is here, the surrounding countries dare not invade our Great Xuan... General Ning alone is better than thousands of The army is thousands of horses, Daxuan needs you. " "I am just a small figure. Even if I die with the name of treason, not many people will remember it... But if I kill General Ning, it will definitely be infamous for thousands of years." Ning Chen smiled, stepped back two steps and got on the horse. He leaned down and looked at Lu Ming, "You have a bit of the courage and blood of my Daxuan son. Although you took the wrong road, you are not hopeless." "I will give you a chance to make up for your sins." Lu Ming's face was full of disbelief, and he immediately knelt on the ground. "Thank you, General Ning!" He Guanyu and Li Wenshu also knelt down. "Thank you, General Ning!" Ning Chen pointed to the dagger on the ground, "Who will pass the dagger to me?" He Guanyu hurriedly picked up the dagger, pinched the blade, and respectfully handed the handle to Ning Chen. Ning Chen raised his mouth slightly, "Lu Ming, listen to my order!" "I am here!" "Lead the way in front, enter the city!"
