From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1131

"I won't give in! I won't!"

"This mountain is so high! So big! So much snow! How can you find me!"

Gumanyev roared and ran to the camp.

Twenty thousand soldiers surrounded him, and there was no respect in their eyes, only murderous intent.

"What are you doing!"

Gumanyev shouted: "Are you going to rebel? Come on! Kill me! Will you be saved if you kill me?"

"We are all citizens of the empire! We are all loyal! Now we are in a foreign country, we should unite even more."

"Brothers! I didn't run away just now! I went to meet the enemy!"

"Now the Jurchen army is coming, we have no other choice, we can only kill them, kill them, we will have food, and we can survive."

"Go home! I want to take you home!"

Huang Taiji's people gradually approached, and the fire gave everyone infinite fear, and this fear made them unite again for a short time.

Face the outside world together and fight for the only chance to survive.

"Kill them! Take their food!"

"We are well-equipped, we will not lose, we..."

As soon as the voice fell, the fire dragon in the distance quickly pushed away, and Huang Taiji actually withdrew his troops.

This bastard, he must wear us out.

Gumanyev was really desperate, he was in a panic, and rushed to the mountain with his cavalry.

The dark world was in chaos. The soldiers of the Tsarist Empire had completely lost their backbone and didn't even know where to go or what to do.

"We can't give them a target now."

Huang Taiji in the distance said calmly, "They are now a mess, just waiting to lose their lives. If we fight directly, they will find something to do in an instant and unite to resist."

"Wait, they will be honest in two days."

"Send a group of people into the mountains to search for Gumanyev's traces. We can't let him really run away."

So, a long tug-of-war began.

The soldiers of the Tsarist Empire would be killed if they fled, and would starve to death if they did not leave. The morale of the army was completely broken, and even a large number of troops took the initiative to run out and planned to surrender.

They were greeted by Huang Taiji's bows and cavalry.

There was no chance to surrender, and the only way to choose death was to starve to death or be killed.

Three days passed, and the heavy snow never stopped, but the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire had been out of food for a day.

In the cold world, there is no heat without food. A large number of soldiers began to fall, and a large number of soldiers killed them.

It was meaningless. These 20,000 people were just lambs to be slaughtered, and they no longer had the ability to resist.

Huang Taiji was still not in a hurry. He just ordered: "Let them continue to starve. Kill those who rush out, and ignore those who flee to the south."

"There is no human habitation within a hundred miles, let alone food. They can fend for themselves."

"The revenge for the massacre has been avenged. The only thing missing is Gumanyev."

"Come with two thousand elite soldiers, follow me up the mountain."

The mountain is not conducive to cavalry pursuit. Huang Taiji brought two thousand infantrymen. They were all warriors of the Donghai Jurchen tribe and were accustomed to the cold.

They went up the mountain and began to search.

On the afternoon of October 2, Gumanyev's trace was finally found.

Huang Taiji led two thousand people to pursue, encircling and intercepting, and constantly nibbling at the opponent.

In just one day, Gumanyev's four hundred cavalrymen were reduced to less than two hundred.

They even abandoned their horses, but it was meaningless. They were encircled deep in the mountains and could not escape the pursuit of the opponent.

"We have been traveling for more than ten days and have consumed too much energy. They are well rested and energetic, otherwise we would not be unable to shake them off."

Gumanyev looked at Ivan and gritted his teeth and said, "Let your men charge. When they charge, they will attract the other side's attention. Let's see if we can escape from other directions."

Ivan pointed to the soldiers around him and smiled, "You can try to order them."

A soldier said coldly, "Captain Gumanyev, we are not pigs. If we can't escape now, we would have sold you out long ago."

"Do you still think we will die for you?"

"You are a complete liar and a coward without any responsibility."

Gumanyev said angrily, "Shut up! You are just a small private. I can shoot you now."

The soldier said disdainfully, "You can try and see who will help you."

The people around him were staring at him covetously, wishing they could eat Gumanyev.

At this moment, Gumanyev lowered his head and couldn't help crying.

He finally felt the taste of being abandoned by his friends and relatives.

He felt despair.

"Brothers... I'm not... I'm not that kind of person..."

He cried, "I just want to live. I'm not that kind of person..."Isn't he very good to everyone?"

"Don't kill me, come home with me, I have money to support you for the rest of your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of snow hit his face, interrupting his crying.

A soldier said coldly: "It's annoying, no one wants to watch your poor performance!"

Huang Taiji whispered: "Yes, he is acting, because he is too afraid of death."

Two thousand troops surrounded him, before dawn, in the darkest moment.

"He is afraid that you will kill him, he is afraid that you will ignore him."

"He is a complete coward."

Gumanyev roared in shock, stood up and continued to climb up the mountain on the snow, but this time, no one followed him.

Ivan took a deep breath and drew the knife in his hand.

He shouted: "Brothers! It's time to be loyal to the empire!"

"Die on the way to the attack! We..."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow hit his forehead accurately.

Huang Taiji put away his longbow and waved his hand, saying: "A group of invaders, what loyalty are you showing in front of me? Kill them all."

Two thousand soldiers rushed over directly and killed all the more than 400 people in just a few dozen breaths.

The blood dyed the snow red.

The east was already white.

Huang Taiji led dozens of guards and climbed up the mountain step by step.

He saw Gumanyev's embarrassed figure and heard his panicked voice.

It's a pity that there is no road ahead.

It's dawn.

The woods have also come to an end.

There is a cliff in front, a bottomless cliff.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole earth.

Gumanyev has reached a dead end. He turned back, his face was distorted, tears were streaming, and he shouted hoarsely: "You have already won! Why do you have to kill me!"

"Let me go! I'll give you money! I'll go back to St. Petersburg and give you all the gold bars! ”

"Killing me is meaningless. You can get a ransom if you keep me alive!"

Huang Taiji said nothing, but picked up the bow and arrow.

"Wait!"

Gumanyev shouted: "Huang Taiji! Do you dare to duel with me!"

He drew out the general's sword in his hand, panting and said: "Duel with me, let me die with dignity."

Huang Taiji said lightly: "You are really pathetic. When you are at the end of your rope, you are still trying to survive."

"Are you going to kidnap me? Let me help you escape?"

Gumanyev said: "Do you dare to fight me? You are the emperor of the Jurchens. If you don't dare to fight me, it means that you Jurchens are cowards!"

"You are all cowards! You are all lowly worms! You don't have the courage of a warrior!"

Huang Taiji said calmly: "Provocation? Ha! Tell these words to children, they like that. ”

“The dignity of a nation does not depend on this.”

“Faced with the invasion of 300,000 troops, we found a way to survive and succeeded.”

“This is dignity.”

He raised his bow and shot an arrow under the windy sky, which pierced Gumanyev’s throat directly.

Gumanyev covered his neck, trembling all over, and finally knelt down and fell to the ground, twitching and trembling, giving out the last strength of his life.

Huang Taiji no longer looked at him.

He just looked at the sky.

The sky was really bright, a rare sunny day, the east was full of rosy clouds, and the snow-white mountains and forests were dyed with golden light.

The overlapping mountains undulated like waves, and every inch of the outline was so magnificent.

This beautiful land has suffered from the wounds of foreign iron hooves, but we finally survived.

“You... go back...”

“The war is over, children, go home. "

His voice was hoarse and desolate.

Dozens of personal guards and two thousand soldiers following behind slowly knelt on the ground.

Huang Taiji knelt down with tears in his eyes.

He kowtowed to these soldiers and said loudly: "The future of the Jurchens depends on you!"

He kissed the snow, kissed the land, and inhaled all the flavors into his mouth.

"No regrets, I hope you will forget me and move towards a new life."

"Cherish this land, it is the blood and sweat of our ancestors. "

He drew his sword.

The sun rose, and the light shone on the sword.

Huang Taiji held it, and without hesitation, he cut his throat.

Blood splattered, and every drop of blood sparkled in the sun.

He laughed, a wanton laugh.

He was free, he was satisfied, and he had no regrets.

So, he spilled blood, jumped, and jumped off the cliff.

The story of a generation of heroes ended here.
