"What should we do? If we surrender, the King of Nanyue will definitely peel off our skins!"

"Well, Zhao Tuo can indeed do this, but the key to the problem is what should we do now? If we don't surrender, we will be dead now!"

"Yes, we are lucky that we are not cavalry, otherwise we would have become ghosts by now...!"

"Gulu..."

Just when the people inside the pass were hesitating whether to surrender or not, a very dissatisfied voice rang out.

One person rubbed his belly and felt worried, "Alas...! We don't have enough to eat here anyway, so we might as well surrender to save our lives. Whether we can survive in the future depends on fate!"

"Yes, a war is about to begin, and Zhao Tuo actually deducts our food and wages and makes us only eat corn porridge. Can that stuff be enough to satisfy us?"

"In the past, when I was in my hometown, even though I couldn't eat rice, corn could still fill my stomach. It's better than this!"

"Yes, Zhao Tuo oppresses the people and deducts food and wages. He is not a wise king or saint. He might as well go back to Xianyang!"

"right……!"

This stomach growl was the last straw that broke the willpower of these soldiers.

"Clang!"

A soldier dropped his weapon.

"Go to the special girl, you're still hungry anyway. If you follow the young master, you can still have a full meal if you don't have enough money!"

"Clang!"

Another person threw away his weapon.

"Clang!"

"Clang...!"

More and more people are laying down their weapons.

After a few others threw away their weapons, they worked together to open the gate of the pass and welcomed Xiao Shota and others!

"I promise everyone that if you follow me, you won't go hungry even if every meal has meat!"

Shota's hearing is several times better than that of ordinary people. Even if those people muttered in low voices, Shota's ears could not escape.

"Okay, let's follow the young master!"

Everyone inside the pass shouted in unison.

Han Xin and Ying Bu stood on the city wall and secretly gave a thumbs up to the young lady.

With the addition of these people, the battlefield will be cleaned up very quickly!

From the dead enemy soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the Flying Eagle also found a lot of property, which was all put into sacks and thrown onto the carriage.

"Although Wang Li and Peng Yue did not participate in this battle, they are going to do another very important thing. When everyone gets together, the spoils will be divided equally among everyone!"

"Thank you young master!"

After listening to Xiao Shota's words, the soldiers of the Flying Eagles suddenly became full of energy.

They already had a generous salary, and ten gold each was waiting for them when they returned to Xianyang City. They didn't expect that they would still have a share of the confiscated loot.

Are you going to die next?

Of course, Xiao Zhengtai's purpose of doing this is also to show those who have just surrendered that as long as they follow him, they will never lose anything!

…

Ten miles away, an army of 20,000 people was advancing at full speed.

As usual, the cavalry is walking in front, and the infantry is trotting behind!

After receiving the smoke, the team immediately set off and headed for the Nanhai County Pass at full speed!

This has been arranged by Zhao Tuo before!

Even if the imperial court sent an army of 200,000 people, those who died from various reasons on the way, those who were not acclimated to the climate and lost their fighting strength, and those who were poisoned by various miasma in the forest, only had 150,000 or 60,000 troops left who could actually reach Nanhai County.

!

Nanhae County is surrounded by high mountains and low valleys, and the roads are narrow. It can be said that one man can't pass the pass without ten thousand men opening it.

They equipped the soldiers at the gate of Nanhai County with a large number of arrow feathers. If the Ying Zheng faction's army attacks, as long as the soldiers stand on the city wall, the archers alone can resist it for a long time.

After all, no matter how large the army is and the mountain road is narrow, it cannot be attacked at once. You can send a signal to the reinforcements thirty miles away and ask them to come for support!

According to the estimates of Zhao Tuo and a group of military commanders, no matter what, the imperial army will not be able to pass these two levels!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhengtai did not follow the routine and led a few people to climb over the wall of someone else's house, attracting them out of the city and annihilating them in one fell swoop!

The arrow feathers that Zhao Tuo prepared for them also became the trophies of the young lady!

"General, why do I smell like stew?"

The reinforcement cavalry came closer and closer, and suddenly there was a smell of meat.

"Don't talk nonsense. We have already set off as soon as the smoke was released from the front pass. How long has it been before they can eliminate the enemy and start stewing meat?"

As a general, Pang Mang scolded the man angrily.

Even if they want to stew meat to celebrate, they still have to be talented!

They were ordered to garrison, and even he, the general, had not seen meat for several days. How could there be a large amount of stewed meat at the front pass?

"General, it seems to really smell like meat, I can smell it too!"

Another soldier in armor also kept twitching his nose and said.

"Um?"

The general raised his head suspiciously, facing the wind, and sniffed vigorously.

"It seems to really smell like meat?"

Now even Pang Mang could smell it.

"Is it possible that we really won the battle at the previous pass?"

"Then shall we go?"

"Go! We must go. Let off smoke to prove that there is an army attack at the pass in front. No matter what the situation is now, we must go and check it out!"

Pang Mang said righteously.

"But...this meat...?"

The soldiers on the side began to reach out their hands and rub their stomachs in frustration.

Before going to bed, each person was given only a bowl of porridge, saying that the funds were not enough and they would have to stay here for several months, so they had to save food!

As a result, he was called up to fight again in the middle of the night, and he had no energy at all!

Now I can smell the tempting smell of meat again, and my mind is filled with the taste of roasted leg of lamb. How can I still think about fighting?

As the distance got closer, more and more people behind me smelled the tempting fragrance, and their noses kept twitching, showing expressions of enjoyment!

Those cavalrymen were okay, riding on horses consumed less physical energy.

But the infantrymen at the back were in dire straits. They were already hungry, and with this alluring fragrance, their legs now seemed like they were no longer their own, and they couldn't run no matter what!

"Tell those behind you to run faster. If the military plane is delayed, all their heads will fall to the ground!"

As a general, Pang Mang naturally discovered this and quickly issued an order.

"yes!"

After receiving the order, a soldier next to him immediately galloped back on his horse to convey the order.

"Alas...! You don't want people to eat enough, but they also make people run away!"

"No! It's like a well-fed man doesn't know what a hungry man is hungry for. They are not tired when they ride on a big horse. If we run behind them on two legs, how can we keep up?"

"Oh, it's useless to say all this. Once we fall behind, General Pang is not soft-hearted and will definitely deal with it in accordance with military law!"

"I really hope there's no war ahead. We're here just to eat pots of fragrant mutton!"

"Are you dreaming? The last time we ate meat was when Zhao Tuo ascended the throne, right? After that, we have to count how many full meals we have!"

"Shh...! You don't want your life, how dare you call the king by his name?"

"Humph! Sooner or later I will starve to death. It doesn't matter if I take my life or not. If anyone gives me a pot of meat to eat now, my life will be his!"
