Chapter 299 Lay down your weapons and surrender without killing
Just as the rebel leader gave the order and prepared to retreat from Donghua Gate, several seemingly ordinary but murderous weapons suddenly appeared at the door. They were crossbow carts that were carefully modified by the order of Crown Prince Qin Hao. They were quietly waiting there, as if waiting for prey to fall into the trap. These crossbow carts were uniquely designed and could fire continuously. Their sharp arrows were so powerful that they could penetrate almost any defense.
Lu Yi watched this scene with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but admire the prince's strategy. At the same time, he was also deeply afraid of the power of these new weapons.
He thought to himself that if every army in Daxia could be equipped with these sophisticated weapons, then the army's combat effectiveness would undoubtedly leap forward by several levels. At that time, Daxia's army might really be able to dominate the world and be invincible.
When the imperial guards shot and killed the fleeing soldiers one by one, leaving only a few resistances, Lu Yi waved his hand and ordered to stop shooting. He walked slowly to a high ground and shouted in a loud voice: "Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed!"
His words echoed in the air, and the surrounding imperial guards moved upon hearing his words, shouting in unison: "Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Put down your weapons and surrender without killing!"
……
Inside Donghua Gate, the shouts of thousands of imperial guards surged like a tide, deafening and resounding across the sky. This powerful shouting deeply shocked the hesitant rebel soldiers and constantly shook their morale.
Qin Hao, who was deep in the bedroom, tilted his ears slightly and caught the shouts clearly. A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with joy. He knew that at this moment, the overall situation was decided and victory was waving to him.
"Come on, follow me and take a look." Qin Hao's voice was full of heroism and decisiveness, as if everything was under control.
He stretched out his big hand and gently held Wang Yourong's small hand, which was as soft as jade, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
A Yue and Liang Hongyu followed closely behind, and the four of them walked out of the palace together and headed towards Donghua Gate.
When Qin Hao arrived at Donghua Gate, the voices of persuading surrender were still heard one after another. Many of the rebels had already abandoned their weapons and chose to surrender. However, there were still a small number of people who were still hesitant, hoping to find a glimmer of hope, or they held the belief that they would die.
Qin Hao held Wang Yourong's hand tightly and strode towards the high platform not far away. He waved his hand, and the imperial guards immediately stopped shouting, knelt down in unison, and shouted loudly: "Long live His Highness! Long live the Queen!"
Wang Yourong and her two sisters felt the respect and admiration from the imperial guards, and they were filled with indescribable excitement. They all looked at the godlike man in front of them, admiration in their beautiful eyes, and their hearts were filled with great expectations for the future.
Qin Hao's sharp eyes swept over everyone present. He waved his broad hand gently, and his solemn and majestic voice echoed in the night sky: "All soldiers, please stand up! Tomorrow, we will reward you according to your merits!"
The soldiers of the imperial guards were very excited when they heard this. They didn't put in much effort tonight, but they were unexpectedly rewarded. This unexpected surprise made everyone cheer and jump for joy. They praised the prince's wisdom and generosity from the bottom of their hearts.
A trace of satisfied smile flashed across Qin Hao's eyes. It is true that money can move people's hearts. He knows the power of money. Although this means that he will lose some money, in return he will gain the loyalty and support of his soldiers, which is not at all unfair compared to spending money.
At the same time, he hoped that this method would make the soldiers understand one thing: following him would give them meat to eat, but following others to rebel would lead to death.
After Qin Hao calmed down the imperial guards, he turned his gaze to the rebels, his eyes flashing with determination. He decisively issued the final ultimatum, ordering: "Those who surrender, lay down your weapons, hold your heads with your hands, and squat on the ground."
The rebel soldiers looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Under Qin Hao's majestic command, most of the rebel soldiers chose to give up resistance. They threw away their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and knelt on the ground obediently.
However, there is still a small number of people who have an unyielding light in their eyes and stand firmly, as if they are ready to die. Their tragic and heroic feelings are beyond words.
At this time, the leader of the rebels strode out of the crowd, his face was ferocious, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a crazy smile. He laughed loudly and said, "Little Prince, you are really lying to us! But do you think this is all we have? Do you think this will make us surrender? You are too naive, just wait for endless revenge! I curse you to die a miserable death!"
Qin Hao's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He stared at the rebel general with a sharp gaze and asked coldly, "What's your name? How dare you talk about treason in such a high-sounding and exaggerated way? Who gave you the courage, Fish Leong?"
The rebel general stood there in a daze, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment, "Fiona Leong, what the hell?" he muttered to himself, completely unable to understand the deep meaning of Qin Hao's words.
However, before he could think clearly, Qin Hao suddenly shouted, "Do it."
There was a commotion among the rebels. Many people who were squatting on the ground jumped up without warning and knocked the standing rebels to the ground, tangling with them.
The sudden change was like a huge rock crashing into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples. The imperial guards and the rebels who had surrendered, who were waiting in full battle array, now stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. They looked at each other, as if asking, "What's going on? Why are our own people fighting each other?"
However, the facts were in front of them and could not be doubted. Those rebel soldiers who had held their heads high and sworn to fight to the death were now firmly controlled by their own people. They struggled in vain and none of them could escape. At this moment, their faces were full of reluctance and despair, but more of confusion and bewilderment.
Soon after, the group was led to Qin Hao, and they looked at the prince in front of them in astonishment. In the end, in the face of irresistible fate, they had to lower their proud heads.
Because the man in front of them is the one who controls their life and death. However, under the shadow of death, who can be fearless? This is the truest manifestation of human nature.
