I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 225: Decisive Battle on Kalimantan Island (Part )

Zhao Xuan looked at the situation and said with satisfaction: "Well, not bad!"

"The situation is very favorable for us. We must strike while the iron is hot and further intensify our offensive to make those people in Dongyang who are resisting completely lose their fighting spirit!"

The generals around him responded in unison: "Yes, Commander!"

Division Commander Zhao Xuannan, as the commander of this battle, commands a total of five divisions.

At this moment, they were pressing towards Dongyang State with tremendous force.

On the other side, the soldiers of Dongyang State watched helplessly as the army of Yan State approached like a tide.

Although they tried their best to fight back, the gap in strength was too great and the results were minimal.

A soldier from Dongyang State was horrified to find that a soldier from Yan State was rushing towards him.

The instinct of survival prompted him to make a split-second decision. He raised his hands and shouted, "Please don't kill me!"

"I surrender, I really do! I just want to dig potatoes, I just want to dig potatoes..."

However, the Yan soldier could not understand the foreign language at all.

However, when he heard the other party repeatedly saying "digging potatoes", he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "How come so many people are rushing to dig potatoes these days?"

With a hint of doubt, he had no time to think about it and continued to advance bravely with the main force.

The main battle tank in front was like a steel behemoth, spewing flames and madly pouring ammunition at the enemy.

The infantrymen following closely behind were extremely vigilant, paying close attention to the movements around them to prevent the Dongyang soldiers from becoming desperate and carrying explosives in an attempt to destroy themselves and the tanks.

The entire battlefield was filled with smoke, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the offensive momentum of Yan State was unstoppable.

The performance of Yan State in this war was simply overwhelming and unstoppable!

Its powerful military strength and excellent strategic deployment made the entire battle situation one-sided.

It is no exaggeration to say that this was not a fair contest at all, but a complete massacre!

Today, the Dongyang State has fallen into a desperate situation. It has been beaten back step by step and has almost no ability to fight back.

If they continue to retreat, they will have nowhere to escape, and their only choice is to hide in the deep and dense mountains and forests.

However, doing so would be tantamount to seeking one's own death.

Most of those places are undeveloped virgin forests, full of unknown dangers and challenges.

Although there may be many wild animals in the forest that can be used to fill your stomach.

But at the same time, countless snakes, insects, rats and ants are lurking there, which may pose a fatal threat to people at any time.

Moreover, these primary forests face many unstable climatic conditions.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

At this critical moment of life and death, the commander of Dongyang State had no choice but to decide to negotiate with Yan State in an attempt to seek a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, Yan State was resolute in its attitude, rejected all requests for negotiation, and made it clear: either surrender unconditionally or bear the consequences!

The commander of Dongyang State was filled with anxiety and helplessness at this moment.

He knew that the battle situation had reached a desperate situation, so he had to urgently summon several division commanders to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, please speak freely and share your views on this situation."

"Now, our troops have suffered heavy casualties."

"What's worse is that the ammunition and food supplies are almost exhausted."

"If we retreat one more step, I'm afraid we will have no choice but to go into the remote and deep forests to seek a way out."

One of the division commanders had a sad face and responded in a low voice: "Commander, even if we escape into the deep mountains and forests, we can't escape death!"

"In my opinion, it would be better to surrender to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

Another division commander immediately echoed, "That's right, Commander, I hold the same view."

"Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to lay down your weapons and perhaps save your life."

"After all, digging potatoes is better than dying in vain."

Hearing these remarks, the commander of Dongyang State looked at the division commanders who had no fighting spirit and were cowardly and retreating. He was filled with disappointment and helplessness, and could not help but sigh heavily: "Are you really so eager to dig potatoes?"

The division commander who first proposed surrender scratched his head and replied in confusion: "Commander, to be honest."

"I don't know why, but I've been thinking about digging potatoes these days. It seems like it has become an irresistible obsession."

The other division commanders also nodded, expressing the same feeling. Some even said bluntly: "Commander, perhaps digging potatoes is our innate talent."

The commander of Dongyang State realized with a heavy heart that the situation could no longer be reversed and any further resistance would be in vain.

He sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, and muttered to himself: "Oh, forget it... now that things have come to this, what's the point of continuing to resist?"

Then, he issued an order in an almost desperate tone: "Pass my order, surrender to Yan Kingdom!"

"Since you are so keen on digging potatoes, from now on, you can enjoy this 'job' to your heart's content!"

"After all, returning to my homeland is probably a luxury."

Several division commanders responded in unison: "Yes, Commander!"

Not long after, several of Dongyang State's once brave and capable divisions laid down their weapons and chose to surrender to Yan State's army.

These divisions had been through the baptism of war, and almost every one of them had suffered heavy losses, with most of the soldiers killed or wounded and exhausted.

Commander Zhao Xuannan, who was standing in the distance watching the battle, was not at all surprised by Dongyang Kingdom's move.

He was well aware of the cruelty of war and the uncertainty of victory or defeat, and he also understood the future fate of these surrenderers - they were destined to spend the rest of their lives in a foreign country, making a living by digging potatoes.

Such an ending may be in line with their current situation and needs, and it can be considered a different kind of destination.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuannan couldn't help but sigh slightly, and looked into the distance, as if he saw the figures of those defeated people working hard in the future.
