Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 313: Surrender

However, no matter how the border army officers paint a rosy picture, their previous bad deeds are all obvious.

No matter how honest the soldiers were, they knew they were afraid.

Moreover, I had long heard about the generous treatment of the Qingshui Army and the prosperity of the people.

After a night of repeated consideration.

Many border soldiers wanted to escape from the camp.

During the day, generals such as Li Yu and Kong Jin gathered in Cui Yong's central military tent and strongly requested to go into battle.

Even the injured Song Yi was supported and brought into the big tent.

He looked furious and demanded to fight despite his injury.

They didn't believe that with only 40,000 border troops, they couldn't defeat thousands of Qingshui troops?

Cui Yong glanced at the generals in front of him.

These people have all suffered at the hands of Lin Feng, some more than once.

Seeing that the general remained silent, Mo Yong hurried forward.

"Generals, please remain calm. The Qingshui Army's actions are intended to force us to leave the camp and engage in battle. We must not fall into their trap."

Song Yi sneered: "They've already knocked on the door, we can't just be so cowardly, right?"

Mo Yong sighed, "General Song, the Qingshui Army is even more ferocious than the Tartars. How can we defeat them?"

When the Tartars were mentioned, the generals fell silent.

They all turned to look at General Cui.

Now we are surrounded on three sides, although there is only one path left.

Obviously, they cannot retreat. If they are chased and attacked, the border troops will collapse even faster.

However, holding on is not a solution either.

Not to mention the insufficient supply of food and fodder, this ideological offensive alone is bound to undermine the morale of the soldiers.

Cui Yong also felt that he was forced into a desperate situation and was at a loss for a moment.

He waved his hand irritably, "Everyone, go down, appease your troops, and wait for the general's orders."

Several generals had no good ideas in their minds, so they could only hang their heads in silence.

Everyone slowly left the tent.

Mo Yong walked alone among the military tents in the camp, looking lonely.

If General Cui had not listened to him and led his troops away earlier, there would not be the current trouble.

I'm afraid I have to make some plans for myself. A leader like this really makes him helpless.

Cui Yong sat in the tent and let out a breath of foul air.

Cui Ying quietly walked in from the back tent.

She gently massaged her father's shoulders and neck.

"Father, let your daughter go and talk to Lin Feng. They are all large armies, why can't they join forces to fight against the Tartars?"

Cui Yong immediately frowned and scolded.

"Hmph, how are you going to talk? Are you going to ask Dad to give in to him?"

Cui Ying has let go of his pride.

"Dad, how did we treat him before? It's just a few nice words to him. It's not difficult, right?"

"What a joke! Your father is an important official in the imperial court, a general of the second rank. How can you say nice things to him?"

Cui Yong's words were still very tough.

Cui Ying said anxiously, "I'm not asking Dad to give in, but to praise Lin Feng more, that is... not to say anything unpleasant."

Cui Yong stopped talking, pondered for a while, and shook his head dejectedly.

"Dad can't tell."

Cui Ying became anxious.

"Dad, we can't leave now, and we can't fight back. The army is about to be demoralized. If we don't do something drastic now, it will be too late."

Cui Yong gritted his teeth.

"At worst, we'll die. I've been a soldier all my life, so who am I afraid of?"

Cui Ying was helpless and frowned.

"Dad, don't you think about your family and your daughter?"

Cui Yong was stunned, his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Seeing this, Cui Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, let me go talk to Lin Feng. As long as he lets the border troops go, I will agree to anything he asks."

Cui Yong's body trembled, and his eyes became moist.

He never expected that Cui Yong would one day ask his daughter to sacrifice herself to fulfill his wish.

Cui Ying also felt her father's emotions and hurried to comfort him.

"Dad, let me be fair. Lin Feng is indeed resourceful and capable. Looking across Zhenxi, there's no man who can compare to him."

Cui Yong suddenly understood.

"Ying'er, have you been longing for this for a long time?"

Cui Ying was both embarrassed and anxious.

"No, Dad, I'm just being fair."

Cui Yong sighed.

"Ying'er, go ahead and take your men with you. If it doesn't work out, don't come back. Or go to Kyoto and stay with your grandfather temporarily."

Cui Ying glared.

"Dad, I won't leave. Let's see what Lin Feng can do to me."

"Hey, Lin Feng's method..."

Cui Yong shook his head and said nothing more. He waved his hand tiredly, indicating Cui Ying to go.

Cui Ying then turned around and left from behind the tent, and immediately ordered his guards to assemble.

Then he mounted his horse and was the first to leave the camp through the west gate, heading straight for the Qingshui Army camp.

The person guarding the west gate was Zhang Changyou, who heard border troops coming out of the camp gate.

Immediately came to the front of the camp to observe the situation.

Not long after, he saw a team of about 200 horsemen slowly walking towards his camp.

"Archers, advance and line up to meet the enemy."

Zhang Changyou shouted calmly.

The soldiers of the Infantry Battalion immediately rushed forward, lined up in front of the camp fence, climbed up the partitions, drew their bows and arrows, and prepared for battle.

When the border troops had walked less than a hundred steps, Zhang Changyou saw clearly that the leader was Cui Ying.

He frowned and thought, afraid that he was here to negotiate.

With so many people here, it’s impossible for him to have any other ideas.

Zhang Changyou felt a little excited. The boss's psychological offensive seemed to be very effective.

After just one night, the border troops could no longer stay.

When Cui Ying led the team to the front of the camp, he immediately looked at the camp fence where the Qingshui Army was stationed.

Neat, solid and heavy.

Cui Ying sighed, no wonder he was so strong in fighting.

Just looking at this camp fence can give you a glimpse of the whole situation.

Cui Ying raised his hands to show that he had no hostility.

"On the other side, may I ask which general is the leader?"

Zhang Changyou straightened up, stuck his head out, waved his hands and shouted.

"General Cui, it's me, Zhang Changyou."

"Oh, General Zhang, I want to talk to Lin Feng, I wonder..."

"Oh, the boss is not here."

Several senior generals of the Qingshui Army were very familiar with Cui Ying and spoke to him freely.

"Is he in Lingdouzi Castle?"

"Yes, yes, the boss is directing the battle from the rear."

Cui Ying was also very confident in himself, knowing that these clean officers would not make things difficult for him.

"Can I go talk to him then?"

Zhang Changyou said with a hearty laugh.

"Of course you can. Just go straight over there. No one will dare to stop you."

Cui Ying clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Zhang."

Zhang Changyou waved his hand: "You're welcome, go ahead."

Cui Ying pulled the reins of his horse, waved to the guards behind him, turned around and ran to the left side of the camp.

Two hundred guards followed closely behind her, raising a cloud of dust and rushing past the Qingshui military camp like the wind.

When Zhang Changyou was talking to Cui Ying in the camp, he used gestures to tell his men under the camp fence to hurry up and report the news.

The soldier in charge of delivering the message rode out from behind the camp first.

After receiving the report, Lin Feng stood there for a moment and sighed.

Knowing Cui Ying's purpose in coming here, she must want him to let the border troops go, and more importantly, let her father Cui Yong go.

However, having come this far, how can I let go so easily?

Among the border troops, no one can be spared except Song Yi, and those senior generals. These people are always stirring up trouble around Cui Yong. Not only do they embezzle military funds, but they also secretly collude with the Tartars.

If we don't sentence them to immediate execution, it would be unfair to the soldiers who died in the battle.

Bai Jing knew what he was thinking.

"Brother, please step aside and let me handle it."

Lin Feng sneered.

"No, there's nothing I can't say. When it comes to major issues, no one can shake my bottom line."
