Chapter 1281: Surrender or resist? Are there too few Great Qin people?

"Why should we resist?"

"Can you bear the consequences of not surrendering?"

"The Touman Chanyu has already abandoned us, so why keep resisting?"

"Resisting is a dead end; are you still going to throw your lives away for the Touman Chanyu now?"

"Resistance has lost its meaning."

"If you want to resist, go ahead, but don't you dare drag me down to die with you!"

"I would rather live like a dog than die. The Touman Chanyu has abandoned us; must we still throw our lives away for him?"

"I don't want to die anyway. If you want to die, go die yourselves!"

"As long as we lay down our weapons and surrender, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival."

"There are too many Qin soldiers; if we don't surrender, we will surely die."

"I am going to surrender. If you don't want to, then go ahead and resist!"

"In that case... I'll surrender too!"

"Ergou is right. The Touman Chanyu has already abandoned us, so why bother throwing our lives away for him?"

"Surrendering means we won't die, and we'll have a chance to keep living."

"Why don't we all just surrender together!"

After some exchange, the Xiongnu soldiers suddenly fell into chaos.

The soldiers who had originally intended to resist wilted.

No one wanted to die; a miserable life is better than a good death.

They were people abandoned by the Xiongnu King, so they should no longer serve him.

Many among them had been loyal to the Xiongnu Touman Chanyu Prince Modu.

If Prince Modu had not retreated, many of them would have fought to the death, even if it meant perishing.

But Prince Modu had left, completely abandoning them.

This left them without hope, so what was the point of resisting?

Soon—

A soldier threw away the weapon in his hand.

The weapon hit the ground with a crisp sound.

The first person threw his weapon.

Soon there was a second, a third, a fourth...

This surrender was like a contagion.

"Clang..."

"Clang..."

The vast battlefield was filled with the dense sound of metal clashing.

Before long.

All the Xiongnu soldiers had thrown down their weapons.

The cavalrymen sitting on horseback also dismounted and stood on the ground.

Not a single person wanted to flee.

After all, facing so many Qin people, where could they possibly flee to?

They could not break through the Qin soldiers' blockade, and the Great Wall blocked their path behind them.

They could not escape; only by surrendering was there a path to survival.

"Why are these Xiongnu so obedient?"

"Shouldn't they be fighting to the death at a time like this?"

"This extreme contrast is truly baffling."

"I was even about to have people prepare for a slaughter."

"But as it turns out, all the Xiongnu soldiers have surrendered."

"That's simple; perhaps their Touman Chanyu abandoned them."

"Because of that, their hearts grew cold and they surrendered directly."

"Otherwise, it's really hard to explain why they surrendered so quickly."

"They didn't use to surrender so easily in the past."

"That's great, though. Since they surrendered, we avoid having to fight another battle."

"It's just that with so many people surrendering, how should we deal with them?"

"This is going to waste countless rations again!"

"With so many people, it will surely cost countless grain and fodder."

"Nothing to worry about; these are not matters for us to consider."

"It is all up to His Highness to make the decision."

Deputy General Qian and the other generals began to discuss among themselves.

The sudden surrender of the Xiongnu caught them off guard.

However, the surrender of the Xiongnu soldiers was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.

"Your Highness, will you make the call?"

General Meng Tian walked up at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 1283 =====
