Chapter 733

~5 min read 912 words

It was the sound of soldiers moving and their armor clanking!

At this moment.

Everyone's face turned pale.

Finally, they believed His Highness Maoshi.

Previously, they had thought His Highness Maoshi was scared out of his wits.

Now it seemed they were the ones who were too naive.

His Highness Maoshi had insisted and suspected there was an ambush here.

They hadn't listened and had even mocked him.

Now it was too late to regret.

It was too late.

The sound of armor friction all around was getting closer.

The Xiongnu looked at each other.

Beads of sweat the size of beans streamed down their foreheads.

Some wanted to rush back to their horses to escape.

But the Great Qin soldiers were very fast.

They quickly charged down and arrived at the side of the warhorses.

The Great Qin soldiers bypassed the horses and continued to surround the Xiongnu.

This Xiongnu prisoner camp was in the center of a huge basin.

The Great Qin soldiers were effectively surrounding them from the rim of the bowl.

It was understandable that the Xiongnu vanguard hadn't discovered their existence earlier.

Hiding in such a concealed place, and in the middle of the night.

Unless one was very familiar with the environment here,

it was absolutely impossible to discover the Great Qin soldiers hidden in the dark.

"What do we do? What should we do?"

The Xiongnu generals became nervous.

An old general smiled bitterly: "Now there are only two choices."

"Fight them, but that's certain death."

"The other choice is to be like them, surrender and become prisoners."

The other generals' complexions were ugly.

They were truly unlucky.

At this moment, they regretted not listening to His Highness Maoshi.

They had thought he was scared out of his wits and suspected him of being paranoid.

This wasn't paranoia; this was vigilance!

But it was useless to say anything now.

Surrounded by dense Great Qin soldiers.

Other than surrendering, the only option was to fight hard.

But to fight tens of thousands against hundreds of thousands was just courting death.

Those whose ropes had been untied were so weak they could barely stand.

They didn't know how long it had been since they last ate; they were so weak that fighting was out of the question.

Originally, they had thought that even if they were weak, it didn't matter.

As long as the Qin soldiers didn't discover them, they would just walk out after untying the ropes.

Once they were out of the Great Wall, they would have a chance to survive by scattering.

Now, they hadn't expected to be dragged into this themselves.

"Drop your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed!"

"Drop your weapons, surrender and you won't be killed!"

The Great Qin soldiers shouted loudly.

They were shouting in broken Xiongnu.

The shouting shook the sky, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

This was the result of their practice over some time.

"Surrender."

"There isn't a single chance."

"Resistance means certain death."

"I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die."

The old general threw down the weapon in his hand and sat down.

The other generals saw this and smiled helplessly.

Their hearts were filled with bitterness, while they hoped His Highness Maoshi could escape.

They also threw down their weapons and sat down.

The remaining Xiongnu cavalry also had pale faces.

Under the illumination of the torches, they could see countless Great Qin soldiers.

There were too many of them, dense and packed; how could they fight this?

Some soldiers were even trembling with fear.

Fortunately, seeing the generals surrender, they didn't dare to make any more moves.

They threw down their weapons one after another and sat on the ground.

However, some who thought they still had a chance rushed out with their weapons.

But the result was tragic.

Those Xiongnu soldiers who rushed out hadn't even gotten close to the Great Qin soldiers

before they were pierced through by the Great Qin soldiers' long spears.

A few unlucky ones were even lifted into mid-air by the spears.

The blood flowed as if it were worthless.

A closer look revealed that the Great Qin soldiers were using the ground's leverage,

planting the spears on the ground and, while piercing the Xiongnu soldiers, using force to straighten the spears.

The Xiongnu soldiers were naturally lifted up.

This move was very intimidating.

The Xiongnu cavalry who saw this scene didn't dare to step forward again.

They threw down their weapons and sat on the ground.

This wasn't a joke; no matter how long their swords were, they weren't as long as the Great Qin soldiers' spears.

Dying meaninglessly was not as good as preserving their useful bodies for the future.

Those Xiongnu who were too hungry to have strength finally understood when they saw so many Great Qin soldiers.

So... this was all just a trap.

And they were the bait.

Many gave up resisting and just laid down.

They were too weak to stand, so they might as well lie down.

In any case, there was no hope of escape.

"Tie up all these fifty thousand people!"

Meng Tian ordered; these fifty thousand were strong and vigorous.

They just didn't dare to resist because they were outnumbered.

Let them starve for a bit first.

"General, there aren't enough ropes."

"Do we need to go to the Great Wall to get more?"

Vice General Qian looked troubled. ===== CHAPTER 735 =====
