After this battle, only a few thousand of the 60,000 He Lu soldiers remained.
On Meng Tian's side, she had lost close to 2,000 soldiers.
They had lost close to five thousand elite soldiers, including infantry and cavalry. Now, they had less than three thousand people in all the troops.
A loss of 7,000, killing more than 50,000 enemies, this was a huge gain.
But in reality, it wasn't the case. Not to mention personal guards, even the soldiers of the direct army were much stronger than He Lu.
In Meng Tian's opinion, the loss of such an integrated army in a one-on-three battle could be said to be a lose-lose situation. After all, the quality of the soldiers was not equal.
Now that He Lu could no longer stir up any trouble, Meng Tian was no longer in a hurry. She stopped and quietly watched the army continue to kill.
Compared to his personal soldiers, although He Lu was not as strong, he had a backbone. Only a few thousand people were still stubbornly resisting, and none of them came out to say that they wanted to surrender.
Looking at He Lu's stubborn resistance to no avail, Meng Tian could not bear it.
Qiu Qing was the only one who was unhappy with Meng Tian. As for the soldiers, there was nothing to be unhappy about. After all, it was a civil war between the two races. The ordinary soldiers only had to obey orders and obey commands. They just had to fight until they were convinced. They did not have to be ruthless like in foreign wars.
"Ah, Helu, are you still not surrendering?" Meng Tian asked.
"Hehe, surrender? He had never thought about it! On the battlefield, He Lu would rather die standing than live kneeling.”He Lu sneered.
"En, this one has no intention of letting you go. It is fine to let these thousands of soldiers go.”Meng Tian said seriously.
All the soldiers present had more or less heard of Meng Tianfan's reputation of killing anyone who resisted.
After knowing that victory and defeat had been decided, none of the Helu soldiers present thought that they could survive, so they all risked their lives. Now that they heard that they had a chance to live, they couldn't help but feel a little tempted. Who would be willing to die if there was a chance to live?
Surrendering to Meng Tian was at most disloyalty to the king, not betrayal to the people.
Seeing that the Helu soldiers were wavering, Meng Tian waved her hand, indicating for her soldiers to retreat and stop fighting.
At this moment, the remaining Helu soldiers all looked at Helu. In the end, he still had to nod.
He Lu saw the behavior of these soldiers. There were no barbarians. If he was just a soldier, he would also want to live.
However, he was not. He was a general, a marshal.
As a general, he had suffered a great defeat and lost a hundred thousand soldiers. Even if Meng Tian let him go, Zhao Kuangyin would not let him go. He would die anyway.
As for surrendering and joining Meng Tian's camp? He had never thought that he would rather die than bear the reputation of betraying his master and defecting to the enemy.
And before he died, his order could save thousands of lives, which was the last value.
He Lu thought so in his heart. He then looked at the soldiers beside him and instructed," I can allow you to surrender, but you can only return to your hometown. You can't join the Great Sui. If you can do it, put down your weapons."”
Clang!
The spear fell to the ground. It was a soldier whose left hand was almost crippled.
Clang!
With the leader, there were more and more people. In the end, there were still more than a hundred people who had not left. These were the old subordinates who had been following Helu.
He Lu looked at them and advised,"You guys should go too."”
These hundred over people were also determined and said in unison,"We swear to follow the marshal!"”
" You guys..." He Lu still wanted to persuade her, but Meng Tian interrupted him. "Alright, since you're loyal to your master, I'll fulfill your wish.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his bodyguards and subordinates fired arrows at the same time.
He Lu and his loyal subordinates fought with all their might, thinking of counterattacking and dragging a few of them down with them before they died. However, the arrows of the bodyguards were fired continuously. Although they were much stronger than ordinary soldiers and could resist for a long time, they could not get close at all except for constantly fighting.
After resisting for a while, someone finally found a loophole.
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
The sound of arrows piercing flesh rang out one after another, and one after another, these people were killed by arrows.
After persisting for five minutes, the excess people were finally cleared, leaving only Helu standing alone in the same place, with some injuries on his body.
At this moment, Meng Tian pointed her sword at He Lu.
The deputy general took a step forward and said," The Great General personally killed him. This is an honor for the enemy. He Lu is not worthy of this honor. This subordinate is willing to do it for him."”
Meng Tian looked at the Deputy General and then at He Lu's Piercing Cloud Arrow. In the end, she shook her head." It's not worth it, but I have the right."”
For a person who was about to die, it was indeed an honor for the enemy commander to kill him personally. Meng Tian did not want to give He Lu this honor, but he had the Piercing Cloud Arrow. Anyone who went would be killed by him.
If the army were to surround and kill them, even if they were his personal guards, they would be killed by him. It wasn't worth it.
Everyone said nothing more and retreated.
He Lu wasn't prepared to die.
He had shot so many arrows earlier. Although he had not been able to kill Meng Tian, he could still feel that Meng Tian's cultivation had been greatly depleted due to the large number of arrows.
"If it's a human, it can definitely be killed!”He Lu thought that if he could kill Meng Tian, the outcome would be reversed.
With this thought in mind, He Lu went up to Meng Tian, a black spear appearing in his hand.
The tip of the spear shook, and a sharp cold light flashed, piercing people's eyes.
Within the light, a fierce and furious dragon roared out!
Meng Tian's eyes narrowed in shock. She swung her sword forward in a 180-degree arc, and the sword light shot out!
Bang!
The spear radiance and the sword arc collided, and an explosion resounded!
In the next moment, the howling of the wind suddenly came from behind her. Meng Tian turned her head slightly, but before she knew it, He Lu had already appeared behind her. The spear in his hand exploded with countless attacks, as sharp as a knife!
Ding ding dang!
Chaotic explosions rang out endlessly.
At this moment, He Lu once again took out his Piercing Arrow, nocked it on his bow, and quickly released it.
Bo!
A crisp sound rang out. The arrow pierced through the shield as easily as a knife cutting through a piece of paper. It then pierced through Meng Tian's body and quickly returned to the arrow gourd.
Bang!
He Lu was also a smart person. He quickly understood Meng Tian's intentions and immediately retreated. At the same time, he raised his bow and arrow.
However, although his speed was not as fast as the Piercing Cloud Arrow, he was much faster than He Lu. Before He Lu could load the arrow, he was already in front of him. Meng Tian immediately slashed out with her sword.
Weng!
The sword brought with it a whistling sound as it slashed towards He Lu's head. He Lu no longer dodged and blocked it with his backhand spear. Immediately, he flipped backwards and was about to hook Meng Tian with his leg.
Meng Tian leaned back and took a step forward. Her sword turned from a sweep to a stab, stabbing towards the spot where He Lu was about to land.
He Lu, who was in mid-air, felt the killing intent below him. He immediately slapped down with his palm, and a force rushed down. With the help of this reaction force, his body did not fall in the end.
