794 Biggest Miracle in the Wilderness (1/2)
Chapter 794 – Biggest Miracle in the Wilderness
Luo Shixin's words totally moved all the Alliance Army generals present. If Zhang Xutuo was still unwilling to surrender now, these generals would still surrender to Shanhai City.
Who knows, they might even tie up Zhang Xutuo and hand him over.
As the Alliance Army commander, Zhang Xutuo was not so important that the generals here would all be willing to die for him.
Zhang Xutuo only had two choices at hand; he could either surrender or kill himself like he did in history.
However, the wilderness was not like history, and Zhang Xutuo was not as loyal to his current Lord as he was to the Sui Emperor.
All things considered, Zhang Xutuo decided to surrender.
With that, both sides were naturally delighted.

Along with the various Alliance Army generals surrendering, the remaining 60 thousand Alliance Army troops all surrendered.
At basically the same time, news about Wuqi, Tian Dan, and the Yanhuang Alliance Army generals retreating spread out amongst the formation. The Yanhuang Alliance Army soldiers did not hesitate to surrender as well after seeing that the Alliance Army that they fought side by side with had surrendered too.
All of a sudden, 150 thousand men all surrendered, scattered across the battlefield, a majestic sight. The battlefield that was still in intense battle moments ago became deathly silent.
When Baiqi saw this scene, he led his troops out of the fortress to get ready to receive all the surrendered troops.
150 thousand surrendered soldiers were like a massive oil barrel. If one was not careful, conflicts would start and cause absolute chaos.
Baiqi had mingled amongst the barracks for his entire life and understood this point. Apart from arranging 30 thousand troops to take down the 10 thousand Alliance Army troops that were still disturbing the grain route, the remaining 60 thousand Dragon Legion Corps troops were sent to watch over the surrendered soldiers.
As for the Wenshan City situation, the Dragon Legion Corps did not need to play a part in it.
The truth was exactly that.
The Tiger Leopard Cavalry rushed under the Wenshan City gates. When Ma Chao saw that the gates were locked shut, he knew that he could not siege the city simply by relying on this purely cavalry force, so he went around the west gate and went south.
The current Lianpo led 70 thousand Yanhuang Alliance troops to rush back to Wenshan City. Behind them was Feng Yi's legion, which was chasing closely behind.
The arrival of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry gave the Lianpo army a fatal blow. They were like a sharp arrow cutting the Yanhuang Alliance Army that was entering the city into two, breaking their escape route.
When the Yanhuang Alliance Army soldiers saw this situation, they squeezed through the city gates and tried to enter and hide. However, the city gates were rather small, and there were so many soldiers. At the crucial moment, military rules and orders had been tossed aside.
Betrayals and scenes of people climbing over one another played out. There were countless people who were stepped on by their allies.
All of a sudden, the city gate was in chaos.
Luckily, Lianpo had entered the city earlier on, or he might have been buried in the chaos.
Di Chen made the Lianpo army return to Wenshan City because they were the closest to Wenshan City but also out of a little selfishness.
The military generals were obviously precious but the soldiers were too, especially high ranked elite soldiers. Di Chen and the others held the hopes that they could take back a portion of them.
Who knew that Ma Chao would be so decisive; he did not hesitate at all and immediately took a detour when he found out that the city gates were shut. He coordinated with the Feng Yi legion to try and take down Lianpo's army.
As the Tiger Leopard Cavalry moved swiftly, only 10 thousand of the enemy managed to retreat into the city in the end.
After suffering a pincer attack on both sides by the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Feng Yi's legion, they had even lost their general. With no way out, the remaining 56 thousand odd troops could only surrender.
At basically the same time, the Guards Legion Corps 1st legion on the west and the City Protection Legion on the north had arrived, officially surrounding Wenshan City.
When Di Chen and the others saw this situation, how would they dare to stay? They brought their Yanhuang Alliance troops to escape, battered and beaten. The Wenshan City Lord, Summon Wind, was also with them.
As for the other Lords in the City-State, when they saw that their generals had not returned, they could only leave alone.
