Chapter 59: The War of Expansion Begins (3)
General Craas Williamson led dozens of soldiers and ran breathlessly into the mountains and wilderness.
Looking back, they found that there were more and more pursuers behind them, and their soldiers fell from time to time.
"Run! If we are caught, we will die!" someone shouted in horror.
"I don't want to die! Get out of my way!" another person shouted anxiously.
At this moment, even some soldiers no longer obeyed the general's orders. After all, at the critical moment of life and death, the general was no longer the authority.
Bang, bang, bang... A few gunshots were heard, and several more soldiers from the Windmill Country fell to the ground, dying with their eyes open.
At this time, an officer of Yan State shouted loudly: "Don't run away!"
"This deep forest is filled with poisonous creatures. You will only die if you run around like this."
"Instead of dying in frustration, it's better to fight us head-on!"
However, the people of Windmill Country did not dare to stop.
They would rather choose to run into the deep mountains and forests to look for that slim chance of survival than to confront the Yan people head-on.
"We can't give up! We have to survive!" General Kraas Williamson gasped and boosted morale, but he knew in his heart that it was just empty talk.
"But how can we survive? There are dangers everywhere here!" a soldier asked desperately.
"We can find a way! We can find food, water, and avoid those poisonous creatures."
"As long as we unite, we will find a way out!" The general tried to bring hope to everyone.
But the reality was cruel. As time went on, more and more soldiers fell, and the remaining ones were exhausted.
"It's over, we're finished..." a soldier muttered to himself, his eyes full of despair.
At this time, the Yan country troops who were chasing the windmill country soldiers said as they chased them: "These damn bastards, they always say they are noble aristocrats, but I didn't expect that when fighting, they are so afraid of death that they can only run away!"
"Yeah, they're not as good as us civilians!" another soldier echoed.
"They are running into the deep mountains and forests. Should we continue chasing them?" asked a soldier.
At this time, an officer said: "Keep chasing, but don't chase too deep to avoid unnecessary casualties."
"Yes." The soldiers answered in unison.
The Yan Nation's troops continued to chase General Kraas Williamson's troops.
As General Kraas Williamson's troops fled into the mountains and forests, the Yan Kingdom's troops slowed down but still followed them closely.
After a while, General Craas Williamson's troops were reduced to only a dozen people.
Seeing that the general's troops had gone too deep into the enemy territory, the Yan State's troops gave up the pursuit.
"Report to the commander, the enemy has fled deep into the mountains and forests. Should we continue chasing them?" a soldier asked the officer.
"No need, let them go," said the officer.
Afterwards, the Yan State troops informed the rebels of the situation and told them that there was a big fish in the deep mountains and forests, and asked them to deal with it themselves.
When the rebels heard that there was a big fish in the deep mountains and forests, and that it was a general, everyone was very excited.
After all, they were locals and were very familiar with this deep mountain and old forest. The rebel army of several hundred people set out towards the deep mountain and old forest in a mighty manner.
According to the traces left by General Kraas Williamson, the search was carried out step by step.
After three days of searching, the rebels finally found the general.
When they were about to brutally kill the general.
General Craas Williamson said in horror: "Please let me go, I will give you any money you want."
However, the rebels were not moved by the money. They responded angrily: "You beast, I don't know how many of us you have killed!"
"If we were in it for the money, we wouldn't have come in to search for you."
Then someone shouted, "Kill him!"
This shout ignited the anger of everyone, and they raised their weapons and rushed towards General Kraas Williamson.
General Craas Williamson looked at what was happening in front of him in horror, realizing that he could no longer escape this fate.
He tried to beg for mercy, but the rebels were already filled with hatred and anger towards him.
They attacked General Craas Williamson mercilessly, beating and hacking him with knives, swords and clubs.
General Craas Williamson groaned in pain, but he did not arouse any sympathy from the rebels.
In the end, General Craas Williamson fell in a pool of blood, dying.
But the rebels did not give up. They decided to impose a cruel punishment on him - being torn apart by five horses.
They found ropes, tied General Craas Williamson's limbs to four horses, and then drove the horses in different directions.
As the horses galloped, General Craas Williamson's body was torn into four pieces, blood splattered everywhere, it was a horrible sight.
The whole scene was full of blood and violence, which was horrifying.
The rebels vented their hatred and anger by brutally ending the life of General Craas Williamson.
And this once arrogant general eventually paid a heavy price.
At noon the next day, the sun shone brightly on the ground and the air seemed to be frozen and dull.
A leader of the rebel army, with a face full of joy and gratitude, walked up to a division commander and said sincerely: "Thank you for coming to liberate us. We will be loyal friends. After we rebuild our country, the friendship between our two countries will last forever."
However, after hearing this, Commander Zhao Xuannan showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
He muttered to himself, "Who the hell told them that we are here to liberate them? This is a huge misunderstanding!"
So he decided to speak out and correct the other party's misunderstanding.
Division Commander Zhao Xuannan said to the leader with a stern face, "Leader, I think you have misunderstood."
"We are not here to liberate you, but to occupy this land."
"From today on, this island will be the territory of our Yan Country."
"You only have two choices: either become our citizens or die. There is no other way out."
When the rebel leader heard this, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
He stared at Master Zhao Xuannan with eyes wide open in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "What's the difference between what you did and robbery?"
"What's the difference between you and the Windmill Nation? We have tens of millions of people on our entire island. If we rebel, you can imagine the consequences."
After hearing this, Commander Zhao Xuannan burst into laughter, with contempt in his eyes.
He sneered and replied: "Hahaha, just a bunch of you?"
"If you really had the courage, you would have risen up against the oppression of the Windmill Country long ago. Why did you have to endure hundreds of years of oppression?"
"Now, you can only accept the reality, otherwise you will die."
