"So, this person has no value in recruiting?"
Nie Chen asked.
Wang Hao shook his head and said,
"He would rather die than surrender. He is different from me and Lin Guang. I come from a lower class background, and he is the only one in Lin Guang's family. He can come and go freely.
But as the old family under King Anton, the Ye family has their dignity and honor, and they will not allow anyone in their family to defect to the enemy.
Moreover, King Anton also valued the loyalty of these families the most. If Ye Xing dared to surrender to the enemy, the Ye family would also be punished by King Anton. If the Ye family was implicated, they would probably have to find a way to kill Ye Xing first to show their loyalty.
On the contrary, if Ye Xing died in battle, then the Ye family would still be praised. After all, they were heroes shrouded in horse leather. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen touched his chin and said,
"Then why do I think that this Ye Xing is more valuable alive than dead?"
"Oh? Why do you see it?"
Wang Hao asked curiously.
"What other crooked ideas are you making?"
Weng Qiuchan also came over and asked curiously.
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"I think it would be a help to us if such an idiot general stayed in the enemy's camp. If he dies in the battle, it will be our loss if a powerful person who knows how to fight comes in."
"Then what do you mean, let him go?"
Wang Hao asked curiously.
"Oh, how can we let him go so easily? This guy belongs to a big family, he must be very valuable. Let's capture him alive and then go ask the county guard for money.
The Ye family sent their children to Weihu County. If they died in the battle, how could he, the county guard, not be implicated? Let's give him a chance to redeem himself.
When we get the money, we will let him go back and let this idiot continue to lead the army. "
"Hahahaha, the second boss is really smart!"
Ma Niubi laughed loudly on the sidelines. He liked this kind of kidnapping and extortion the best.
The offensive and defensive battle was still going on. Apart from being too bloody, the scene was not interesting. Ye Xing did not bring any surprises to them.
After an hour passed, Wang Hao looked at the battlefield and said,
"Now that nearly half of the enemy's troops have been damaged, our casualties are very small. At this time, Ye Xing should withdraw his troops, bury pots to make rice, reorganize the formation, and let the soldiers take a rest.
Now the enemy's soldiers are exhausted and sleepy. If they continue to fight, their morale will be destroyed first. If they dare to fight like this for a day, they will probably mutiny by night. "
The boss on the side also nodded and said,
"Yes, the enemy has lost all fighting spirit at this time. You can see that their charging pace has been slow. After entering the shooting range, they hesitated and did not dare to go forward. The corpses on the ground greatly delayed their charging. At this time, we really should take a rest and clean up the battlefield."
The two generals said so. It seemed that it was really time to let the soldiers and horses rest, but Ye Xing did not. He was already on top, charging with a roar and a red face.
"General! General!"
The commander pulled Ye Xing's armor and shouted,
"Let the brothers retreat and have a rest. The brothers have been fighting for most of the day, and they are already exhausted. Now the formation is in chaos, the fighting spirit is completely gone, and we can't continue to fight.
Our army has already suffered more than half of its casualties. If we continue to fight, even if we manage to break through Qingfeng Village, how can we be the opponent of the large armies inside? "
"Let me go! What a fart! As long as I can fight against a group of bandits and grassroots bandits, I can chop them to death like melons and vegetables with a swing of my sword. How can I not fight them!"
"General! Why do you still think of them as bandits? Look at the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands. They are far more elite than us.
Their crossbows can shoot through two or three of us with one arrow, but our bows and arrows can't penetrate their iron armor. We can't fight anymore. It's too late to withdraw now. We can still take our brothers back and regroup in the future to mobilize the army. It’s never too late to fight again! "
Ye Xing kicked the commander away, drew out his sword and roared,
"Go away! If you continue to mislead the public and undermine the morale of the army with your monstrous words, I will definitely kill you. It is because of cowards like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death that I will lose the first battle! It's all your fault!"
"All the soldiers obeyed the order, the rear troops pressed forward, the whole army charged, and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop!"
Seeing Ye Xing's crazy order, the commander sighed, stood up, and quietly leaned back.
He knew that this battle was lost, but he didn't want to accompany Ye Xing to die. Being able to dissuade him was already fulfilling his duty as a subordinate. He didn't want to fight this battle to the death anymore.
On the wall of the stronghold, Nie Chen saw that the enemy troops had no intention of retreating, but the rear troops rushed forward, and he immediately smiled and said,
"Okay, since they haven't collapsed yet, let's add fire to them. Open the gate of the village. The leader will charge out with the cavalry first, disrupting the enemy's formation. Then the sword and crossbow soldiers will charge, and the spearmen will press on. .”
"As you command!"
"Master, don't forget to capture that Ye Xing alive and keep it to sell for money."
"knew."
The headmaster nodded in agreement, but suddenly felt something was wrong, turned around and glared,
"I have become your subordinate? I still obey your orders. Why are you staying here? Go to the battlefield for me!"
"Hey, here we come."
Nie Chen laughed sarcastically and followed the others down the wall, not forgetting to shout towards the wall,
"Qiu Chan, stay here and don't go down. Wang Hao, stay here and take command. Don't go down to charge. Leave the task of defeating the enemy to us."
"knew."
"As you command!"
The leader, Nie Chen, Lin Guang, Ma Niuhuo, and Da Zhuang all went down to lead the horses. After getting on their horses, they opened the gate of the village with the cavalry that had been prepared, and charged outside in a mighty manner.
The enemy troops attacking the city outside had already lost any formation. When they were attacked by the cavalry, they were immediately defeated. The officers and soldiers, who were originally low in morale, now had no fighting spirit at all. Facing the cavalry's butcher knives and repeating crossbows, , they only hated their parents for missing two legs and allowing them to run so slowly.
When some people are escaping, they will push their companions down, so that the cavalry behind them will slow down and kill their companions, giving them time to escape.
A thousand cavalrymen charged into three thousand infantrymen, slaughtering them as if they were in an uninhabited land, chopping melons and vegetables. Nie Chen did the same, leading his cavalry to continuously attack the officers and soldiers.
"The cavalry in front, slow down, leave a few with us, just leave a few for us!"
Behind them came the heartbreaking "screams" of the crossbowmen. They were filled with grief and anger. It was like this every time. The cavalry was killing in front, while the crossbowmen were picking up the slack behind. They couldn't get any big credit at all, and they only hated themselves. Run slowly.
The pikemen smiled and said nothing. You crossbowmen are pretty good, but we pikemen can hardly get a fight.
