The battlefield was covered with reddish-black soil and corpses. The battle had lasted for more than 20 days. There was no time to clean up all the corpses of the Qing soldiers. It was February now, and the temperature had risen a lot. The flesh gradually rotted, and the stench immediately assailed the nose. It was disgusting.
" Kill…Ah, kill???"
A few hundred brave Green Camp Han soldiers ran to the front of the Qin army. They were prepared to receive a storm-like attack, but unexpectedly, no guns were fired.
What did he mean?
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"The Han people in front, listen up. The King of Qin has ordered that you have a chance to start anew. Surrender and we will not kill you. If you are still willing to be the dog slaves of the Tartars, the Qin army will kill you without mercy when they attack!”
……

"The Han people in front, listen up. The King of Qin has ordered that you have a chance to start anew. Surrender and we will not kill you. If you are still willing to be the dog slaves of the Tartars, the Qin army will kill you without mercy when they attack!”
Thousands of people shouted at the same time. Their voices gathered together and spread across the battlefield, reaching the ears of hundreds of green camp Han soldiers.
Surrender allowed?
Everyone looked at each other and felt cheated by the Tartars.
If it wasn't for the Tartars saying that the Qin army never accepted surrenders and that all prisoners of war would be killed, they would have surrendered long ago. Would they still have to brace themselves and charge when they knew they would die?
"Go ahead, the Qin army won't kill us!”
"The Qin army won't kill us, but have you ever thought about whether the Tartars will kill our family?”
“……”
As soon as he said this, the hundreds of people fell silent.
With a wolf in front and a tiger behind, wasn't it too difficult?
However, they were lucky. Just as they were hesitating, a dark shadow appeared in the wilderness behind them.
"Yes, General Qi and a few Commanders, what are they doing?”
Soon, the vanguard arrived in front of them. A bearded man in cotton armor looked up at the Qin army's position not far away and asked,"You guys weren't attacked by the Qin army?"
" General Zhang, the Qin army has persuaded us to surrender. They said that surrendering will save us from death. If we don't surrender, we will kill without mercy. This…"
"Alright, as long as you can accept our surrender, hahahaha!"
" Let's go. Raise the white flag. We'll go to the Qin army's camp and explain our intentions…"
200 meters ahead.
Seeing the Han soldiers from the Green Camp move out in full force, the commander of the 2nd Division, Wang Jinyang, was so frightened that he immediately ordered them to open fire. Fortunately, he was stopped by a sharp-eyed soldier.
"Commander, the white flag, the green camp Han soldiers are fighting the white flag, they should be surrendering, don't shoot!”
Hmm?
Wang Jinyang raised his binoculars and saw a few people in armor raising white flags and heading back to the camp. Judging from their expressions, they were nervous, expectant, and excited. They were basically here to surrender.
There were too many people, so he couldn't make the decision on his own.
He put down his binoculars and turned around to pull the soldier beside him."Quickly go back and report to the King of Qin that all the Green Camp Han soldiers in the Qing army camp have surrendered.”
"Yes."
……
Ta, ta, ta.
Zhang Xiong and the others, who had been waiting at the Qin army's camp for half an hour, immediately jumped up and lowered their heads in fear when they heard the sound of hooves. They knew that the King of Qin had arrived.
Black Wind walked elegantly and carried Qin Jun to stand in front of everyone.
"You want to surrender?"
Yes!
Shua.
Zhang Xiong and the others responded, pulling out their sabers and cutting off the braids on their heads without a word. Their attitudes were very decisive.
"King Qin, we were forced to be scoundrels. The Tartars threatened us that if we didn't attack the Qin army with all our might, they would exterminate our families. They even lied to us that you weren't allowed to surrender and that even if we surrendered, we would be executed.”
" We…King Qin, please do us a favor. Please don't kill the 270,000 Green Camp Han soldiers in Tongren Camp. This…"
Alright!
Qin Jun understood what they meant and interrupted them with a smile.
"I accept your surrender, and I can guarantee that the Tartars will not harm your families. The Qin army is about to counterattack and seize the south. Within three months, we will definitely be able to eliminate all the Tartars in the south. If you are willing, you can work hard to join the Qin army.”
Join the Qin Army?
Zhang Xiong and the others widened their eyes, wondering if Qin Jun was joking.
A few months ago, they had heard about the recruitment in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. More than 1.4 million young men had been recruited. After many rounds of screening and some " political review ", less than 120,000 soldiers had joined the Qin army and were given firearms. One could imagine how difficult it was to enter the Qin army.
However, the military policies and benefits that they didn't even dare to dream of were tempting and confusing their minds. Joining the Qin army seemed to be the same as being a superior.
"Qin Wang, we will work hard. Oh right, there is another piece of information that I want to report to you.”
"Speak!"
"Tartar General Fu Huan secretly led 80,000 Tartar Cavalry to attack Spring City from Gui Province last night…"
"Oh, about that, I've already prepared for it. I'm just waiting for them to come. 80,000 Tartars…hehe ~"
