Those on the outer layer were busy fighting with the Ming cavalry, while those in the middle didn't know what happened. Looking at the fallen comrades in front of them, they were already so frightened that they had no intention of fighting.
Attacking from inside and outside, soon, more than half of the tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry were killed or injured.
The remaining small group, seeing that they couldn't beat them, held up their weapons and shouted loudly.
"We surrender."
"We concede defeat."
"Please forgive the Ming army."
A voice sounded, and countless people began to respond. The cavalry in the middle had dropped their weapons, got off their horses and knelt down on the ground, begging the Ming army to surrender.
Seeing this, the outermost cavalry also dropped their weapons and raised their hands.
"No more fights, we surrender."
"We surrender."
Soon, all the Tatar cavalry dropped their weapons, dismounted and knelt down on the ground to ask for surrender.
Daming's cavalry also stopped what they were doing, and walked around them on horseback with knives in hand.
At this time, Zhu Di approached slowly on horseback, looking proudly at the Tatar cavalry kneeling on the ground.
These are the Tatar cavalry who killed [-] elite Tatar cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. These are the Tatars who have been rampant in the territory of the Ming Dynasty for the past year, and even tried to occupy the Central Plains and rebuild the Mongolian Empire.
How arrogant he was at the beginning, how humble he is now.
It's a joke to be so vulnerable and dare to go so far.
No wonder Lu Lin would say that Benya Shili and Alutai are the kind of people who are penniless but have the courage to think about the world.
Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.
The King of Han was slightly injured, but it did not hinder his excitement at all.
"Father, it's better to kill them all on the spot, so as to save trouble, we still have to go after Ben Yashili and the rest of the Tatars."
When Lu Lin heard King Han calling his father, he twitched his lips and said nothing.
I didn't hear the two brothers call him the emperor along the way, and the other generals didn't call him the emperor, probably because they did it on purpose.
Since he didn't want to say it clearly for the time being, Lu Lin didn't continue to ask. He said that he would lead Lu Lin home after winning the battle, and see where he wanted to lead Lu Lin.
Zhu Di really has this heart, their war has only just begun, and it is impossible to bring so many prisoners.
Not only do you have to work hard to watch them, but you also waste food and water into the grasslands. These things are precious, and there are many of them.
Lu Lin saw what the two of them were thinking, so he said, "Take away their horses, armor and weapons, and then let them go."
Without horses, armor, and weapons, they couldn't attack with bare hands.
Besides, looking at them like this, I was scared out of my wits. If I could escape, I would burn incense and worship Buddha, and dare to turn around and attack?
Seeing that Zhu Di didn't speak, Lu Lin said, "It is inevitable that people will die in war, but dying on the battlefield and killing prisoners are two different things."
"If you really killed these tens of thousands of captives, not to mention fighting Wuliangha and Waci in the future, even the remaining two-thirds of the Tatar soldiers and Arutai, they would all know that surrender is useless. Only by fighting to the end can we win a way out."
"This is undoubtedly digging a hole and burying myself."
Chapter 231
The king of Han wanted to kill all these captives, but Lu Lin objected.
These people had no intention of fighting against them, and now they were defeated and captured. If they could manage to survive and escape before it was too late, how could they turn around and attack them.
What's more, they were also deprived of weapons, armor and horses. Even if they had the heart, they didn't have the strength.
"Don't forget, they murdered one hundred thousand elites of my Ming Dynasty." The King of Han objected to letting them go, and even used them as an excuse to murder the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
They can be so ruthless, why should we be soft-hearted?
"This is the difference between us and the Tatars, and even the people of the Yuan Dynasty." If we are all so bloodthirsty and easy to kill, then what is the difference between us and them?
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, but decided to obey Lu Lin: "Take their weapons and let them go."
"Father." The King of Han obviously didn't expect that the old man would really listen to that brat Lu Lin.
He is the real son, right?
"If we really let them go, even if they don't resist this time, what about the next time? If it's a big Khan, they'll have to come out and act like demons again."
Zhu Di glanced at him: "Then can you finish the killing? Unless you massacre the city and the clan, if you kill this group, there will be new Tatar cavalry."
It is too unreliable to rely on killing to stop the war.
The king of Han was so blocked that he had no choice but to let them go.
The benevolence of women.
Zhu Di asked people to deal with these captives quickly, and he led 2000 people to chase Ben Ya who had escaped.
"How many people did he take away?"
"It seems that there are only seven." The scout came back and reported.
seven? !
The dignified Khan, who used to be so glorious, now flees with only seven people, even leaving behind his own son.
"You said he has only this little strength, how can he have the face to clamor for war with us?" Zhao Wang didn't quite understand, what kind of things are these people thinking in their heads.
It's really puzzling.
"Bring yourself to shame." Han Wang said with great interest.
Lu Lin didn't speak, and followed Zhu Di to pursue him, all the way to Onan River.
Zhu Di suddenly stopped and walked to a high place, overlooking this beautiful grassland.
The strong wind was blowing the slightly yellowed weeds, mixed with the blurred halo reflected from the Onan River, it was quiet and beautiful, unaffected by the fierce battle just now, beautiful alone.
Lu Lin and the others followed. They didn't know why he stopped suddenly and looked at the land quietly.
"Father." The King of Han reminded him that if he didn't chase him, he might not be able to catch up.
But Zhu Di suddenly pointed to the grassland and said, "This is the Onan River, the place where Genghis Khan rose up."
