His face was covered in bloodstains, his clothes were tattered and worn out, and his eyes had a dull, lifeless gaze. This was the current state of Ha Chigu, one of the top generals under Yuanping Zhang Nianhehua.

  He is now being roughly escorted to the execution ground by the Ming soldiers, with hatred in their eyes. Some of them even subconsciously grasped their weapons, and if it weren't for their companions stopping them, they would have rushed forward to kill him.

  Of course, these people were the old soldiers who went to the front line, while the new recruits were still resting. The hatred between these old soldiers and the Northern Yuan was even greater, some of whom had their relatives killed, some of whom had their comrades die miserably, and the blood feud between the two countries was deeply reflected in the eyes of this group of old soldiers.

  They were already resentful of not being able to take the field earlier, and now they had to deal with these captives in front of the army. How could they not come to take a look? Wouldn't it be delightful to see the Northern Yuan bandits' heads and bodies separated?

  At this time, Hachigu was already in a state of collapse, the 20,000 cavalrymen led by Ping Zhang had been exhausted, the city of Gaozhou had not been taken, and the grain supplies of the Northern Expeditionary Army had not been destroyed. He was a criminal, a criminal of the Northern Yuan.

  He failed to live up to the expectations of his own family, failed to live up to the expectations of the elderly and children at home, and even more so failed to live up to the expectations of tens of millions of people in Beiyuan. But he didn't understand why the surprise attack on the tunnel would fail, as only a handful of people knew about it, and if it weren't for this battle mission, Ping Zhang wouldn't have leaked the information.

  But Ming army seemed to have anticipated this and not only did they prevent any disturbance, but also used it as bait to lure him into a trap. Unexpectedly, he himself was momentarily enraged and sent away many brave soldiers of the Great Yuan Dynasty...

  "Kneel down!" With a thud, Ha Cheku was pressed to his knees by the soldiers escorting him. On either side of him were also captured Yuan army officers, many of whom he recognized.

  That is Musan, a qianhu in his army. His archery skills are divine and he hits the target with every shot. On the battlefield, he takes the enemy general's life silently...

  Next to Musan is Tumon, an ordinary soldier under his command. He often does chores for everyone, such as washing clothes. Quiet and taciturn, he unexpectedly now only has one eye left...

  There are many more, Ha Chigu can be considered a qualified general, he is familiar with most of the 20,000 cavalry under his command, but he cannot be considered a wise commander. Ha Chigu, who knows that it is impossible to do so, is just a stupid pig, and this group of pigs will have their heads chopped off now...

  "Lao Zhou, have you found someone good to behead? Those dolls didn't come forward voluntarily to be the executioner?"

  "Never mind, they've just recovered from their exhaustion, one by one with pale faces, vomiting endlessly. Don't even mention asking them to chop heads, seeing today's porridge makes them feel nauseous, let alone taking the initiative."

  "It's the same on my side, one by one they're all timid and not like men at all. Even if there are a few who have some guts, they don't dare to take charge. And then there was this little brat who told me something about 'killing prisoners is not clear', 'injuring heaven and reason'. At that time, I spat a mouthful of saliva in his face."

  "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. How can there still be such a person in the army? It's also quite surprising that he hasn't been killed by others yet. And to think that he even kills prisoners... Oh my god, I'm dead from laughing..."

  "Who says it's not? The two armies are sworn enemies, either you die or I perish. You can't let him go and spare his life, expecting him to show mercy next time he tries to kill you? Does he think he can reform this group of Northern Yuan barbarians with kindness? These kids are really naive."

  Just then, two qianhu under Tang Yun were chatting in the main seat of the execution ground. Zhang Feng came before them, bowed and said: "Two qianhu masters, I am willing to be the executioner for this prisoner!"

  "Oh? I know you, Zhang Feng, the general under Old Qiu Fu. You're quite the sensation today, single-handedly turning the tide of battle and leading those new recruits to drive the enemy back." Zhou Yuan Cheng looked at Zhang Feng with a smile and said: "Kid, are you interested in joining me? I've got a vacancy for a hundred-man unit leader here. Don't follow Old Qiu anymore, he's too rigid and you won't have any prospects under him."

  "Don't worry, I'll tell you, Old Zhou is all talk, he's lost a bunch of new recruits this time, three thousand casualties and he's responsible for half of them. Who knows how Commander Zhang will deal with him? It's better to follow me, my side has all veteran soldiers, they can guarantee your future achievements won't be inferior to mine." Another qianhuo, Huo Zhen, joked with a smile.

  Speaking of Huo Zhen, it's quite interesting. His original name was Huoli Huozhen, a Mongolian, and by rights, he should have been a mortal enemy of the Great Ming Dynasty. However, his identity was that of a special military unit in the Yuan Dynasty, the Nu Jun, similar to the Xingying Camp on the borders of my Ming Dynasty, but while the Xingying Camp at least gave one a way out, the Nu Jun had no chance of survival.

  Huojian, who had previously surrendered to the Ming army with his men during a battle against the Mongol army, was appointed as a hundred-household officer at that time when our dynasty was just established and needed people. He gained merits in battles against the Yuan army and was promoted to thousand-household officer. This time, when the Prince of Yan set up the three guards, he was transferred over.

  Zhang Feng smiled and declined the invitation of the two thousand households, Xu Sheng's invitation he did not respond to, now the invitation of the thousand households of the Imperial Guard he naturally also will not agree to, otherwise wouldn't it be unreasonably offending his former superior, can only politely decline the good intentions of the two thousand households.

  However, Zhang Feng did not know that his last unauthorized entry into the military camp had already made Qiu Fu displeased. Even though he performed exceptionally well this time, there was no encouraging sign from Qiu Fu's family. If it weren't for Zhu's persuasion, Qiu Fu might have even punished Zhang Feng for disobeying military orders and leaving the camp without permission to watch the horse race.

  Zhou Yuancheng and Huo Zhen didn't mind Zhang Feng's refusal either. They just made a gesture earlier, if they succeeded in prying him away, then that would be great, but if they failed, there wouldn't be any loss anyway. Now, let's get back to the point, since Zhang Feng wants to be the executioner, they naturally agreed, and besides, except for Zhang Feng, no other new recruits came forward to ask for permission.

  There were three rows of captured soldiers, Zhang Feng and a group of old soldiers came to their respective positions with the large knives from the camp, this kind of knife was originally used for cutting wood and breaking fences, now it's just right to use as an executioner's knife.

  As for the Northern Yuan captives kneeling on the ground, the Ming army did not have any preferential treatment for them. They would not be given a last meal or anything like that. After all, they were not Ming people. Now there was only a group of murderous old soldiers and Zhang Feng.

  It just so happened that Zhang Feng's execution target was none other than Ha Cigu himself. He slightly turned his head to take a glance at the person who would soon be taking his life, but suddenly discovered that it was actually that brave young man from the city gate tower, and this youth was now staring at him with deep hatred, no, he was staring at his original identity.

  Ha Chigu understood that this young man was definitely another person with an irreconcilable hatred towards Dayuanren.

  Alas... my great Yuan dynasty has many enemies, the original Taizu was different, leading our ancestors to conquer in all directions. But now the nobles in the country only know how to indulge in pleasure and internal strife, wasting national strength, my great Yuan dynasty is hopeless...

  Thinking of this, Ha Chi Ku's unused inner fury, he raised his head and shouted "Yuan!" This cry was cut short under Zhou Yuan's icy execution voice.

  Like a spring gushing out fresh blood, the headless corpse slowly fell to the grass, Zhang Feng's face expressionless as he stared at the corpse whose head he had chopped off, silently thinking in his heart: "This is the first one..."
