"Put down your weapons and go out and surrender."
After receiving the promise from the desert empire, Qin Yongzhi, the Chief of Government Affairs of Ganquan Mansion, sighed, and then took the lead to walk out of the village.
"Obey orders, put down your weapons and surrender!"
Although Gao Jie, the general of thousands of people, is extremely reluctant, but now they are in a desperate situation, and the desert empire threatens the people, they have no choice.
They can continue to fight for their dignity, but they still cannot escape death, and the people outside will probably die as well.
Gao Jie threw away the saber in his hand, followed Qin Yongzhi, Chief of Political Affairs, and strode out of the village.
The cavalry of the Desert Empire detained hundreds of people and stared at the village.
Seeing Qin Yongzhi and others walk out of the village empty-handed, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the cavalry of the Desert Empire.
"My lord, they have come out, when will they do it?"
An officer approached the leading general and said murderously.
"Do you want to break our desert empire's word?"
The general who led the army glared at the officer and reprimanded him.
"Since they have surrendered, we must keep our promise to ensure that their lives are safe."
"But they fought against us and killed so many of our soldiers. This is a blood feud!" the officer said in great bewilderment.
"The leader is the chief executive of their Oasis Mansion. He is a high-ranking official. It is better to keep his role than to die." The general said.
"And His Majesty has taught us many times, that is to expand our land, we can't just know how to fight and kill."
"For those who resist us to the death, we must be resolutely eliminated. For those who surrender to us, we must provide them with delicious food and drink, and let them do things for us. This will make the empire stronger and stronger."
After hearing what the general said, although the officer was unwilling, he could only suppress his own idea of ??ordering the killing of Qin Yongzhi and others.
Because the desert empire has a vast territory but a small population, they have been very particular about strategy while actively implementing expansion policies throughout the dynasties.
They know that if they want to turn the newly occupied area into their territory, they can't just rely on blind killing.
What they are implementing is a policy of killing and appeasement in parallel. Those who can be recruited will be recruited, and those who cannot be recruited will be brutally slaughtered.
It is precisely because of this strategy pursued by the desert empire that they occupied the Wild Wolf Valley in the Far East, the Red Sand Province and other places, and quickly occupied these places firmly, turning them into part of the empire's territory.
Because they are different from the Holy See's strategy of suppressing the local Far Easterners in St. Lei City, they implement a policy of equality and even preferential treatment for the Far Easterners in Wild Wolf Valley, Hongsha Province and other places.
Moreover, instead of raising taxes in the newly occupied areas, they reduced or exempted some exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes.
Precisely because of this, although the desert empire occupied these areas by force, it quickly won the support of local big families and common people.
This time the desert empire rashly invaded Daning Province in the Far East. Before they sent troops, Emperor Ashinayun also issued an order, requiring all ministries to focus on attacking the vital forces of the Far East Army and not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
After all, what they need is a relatively complete Daning Province, not a Daning Province that is devastated.
The desert empire soldiers at the bottom do not understand the high-level strategy of the empire, but they do know the middle and high-level officers.
"I have met Mr. Qin."
Seeing that Qin Yongzhi and others came out empty-handed and surrendered, the desert empire general who led the army also got off his horse and took the initiative to greet him.
As if the two sides were not enemies in a bloody battle, but old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, everything seemed so harmonious.
"It's just a general of a defeated army, so it shouldn't be such a big gift."
Qin Yongzhi said: "I just hope that the general can fulfill his promise and release these common people and the soldiers behind me."
"These soldiers are also acting on the orders of my Qin. If you want to kill or cut, you can just target me, Qin. It has nothing to do with him."
"Master Qin was joking. Our desert empire has always been a state of etiquette, and we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. When soldiers meet on the battlefield, they are just masters of each other."
"Now that you have put down your weapons, we will naturally not kill innocent people indiscriminately,??Master Qin please rest assured. "
The cavalry general of the Desert Empire is also polite, which undoubtedly makes people feel good.
"Come here, escort Master Qin and the others to Daning City."
After the cavalry general had a few words with Qin Yongzhi, he let a team of cavalry detain Qin Yongzhi and the people, and headed towards Daning City, the capital of Daning Province.
After solving the relatively tenacious resistance of Qin Yongzhi and his team, the cavalry of the Desert Empire continued to march eastward, and soon reached the west bank of the Ganshui River.
Because Qin Yongzhi and the others fought against the vanguard of the Desert Empire all the way, which slowed down the advancing speed of the opponent, a large number of people were able to flee to the east of the Ganshui River.
Now when the vanguard cavalry of the Desert Empire arrived at the Ganshui River, they found that the Far East Army on the other side was already in full swing.
Seeing the entire army stationed on the other side with flags flying, the cavalry troops of the Desert Empire who arrived here were also taken aback. They did not expect the army of the Far East Empire to come so quickly.
While they urgently sent people to investigate upstream and downstream, they also quickly sent people to report the enemy situation in Ganshui River.
Hu Lu, the general of the First Frontier Army of the Desert Empire, first learned that the Far Eastern army had arrived at Ganshui River, so he urgently sent troops to Ganshui River for reinforcements.
Soon, tens of thousands of troops from the Desert Empire arrived at the Ganshui River in a rapid march, and the two sides faced off across the river.
The Sixth Far East Field Army did not dare to rush westward, because they are the only field army in the northwest region. Now they do not seek in vain, only in vain. They just need to block the desert empire on the Ganshui River and wait for the next step of the imperial court. command.
The Desert Empire has just occupied Ganquan Mansion, Mingluo Mansion, Nanqing Mansion, Xiqiu Mansion, Nongshan Mansion and Daning City in the area west of Ganshui River, and it will take time to digest.
Now that the Far Eastern Field Corps has deployed on the front line of the Ganshui River, the weak First Frontier Army has also given up its previous plan to occupy the entire Daning Province, and instead advances to the Ganshui River and deploys defenses on the spot, waiting for reinforcements .
After all, this time it was only the first frontier army deployed in Hongsha Province that was attacking Daning Province. Its strength is still limited, and there are still so many occupied areas.
Therefore, the army of the Desert Empire and the Sixth Far East Field Army faced off on the Ganshui River. The scouts of both sides continued to infiltrate each other to investigate the situation.
When the Desert Empire ordered the First Frontier Army to attack with lightning speed, their trump card main force, the White Feather Army, also set out from Xijing to join the battle on the front line.
The White Feather Army is the trump card meritorious force of the desert empire, and it is also the direct descendant of Ashinayun, so whether it is soldiers or equipment, it is now a priority supply, and its combat effectiveness is very strong. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
