Ye Xing was dumbfounded. In his understanding, siege warfare meant siege outside and defend the city inside.
The attacking party can come and go freely, fight or retreat, and it has never been heard of the defenders being able to come out and kill people.
And if you come out, come out. What's going on with those soldiers riding horses and wielding swords? Why are they so impactful? Why do they have so many weapons on them? How could they be so fast? How do they not fall off their horses?
"General! Let's go!"
When the commander saw Ye Xingzai in a daze, he was so anxious that he shouted loudly.
If a general is killed, as a subordinate, he will be held accountable even if he escapes.
The commander originally wanted to pull Ye Xing, but when he saw several horses on the opposite side charging towards Ye Xing, he did not dare to pull him.
If there is accountability, then accountability is better than losing your head.
He turned around and ran away, calling his soldiers and horses to flee together. He no longer cared about the life or death of Ye Xing, the idiot.
Ye Xing was riding on a horse, and when he saw several horses in front of him charging towards him, he finally came to his senses and immediately swung his sword to attack.
Nie Chen was the fastest to charge. Nie Chen swung his steel knife and slashed at Ye Xing with all his strength.
when!
A harsh sound of gold and iron was heard, and the iron knife in Ye Xing's hand was immediately broken. There was no saddle or stirrup under his crotch, he sat down on the smooth horseback, and fell backwards without any resistance.
Ye Xing hit the ground hard with a plop, feeling like all the bones in his body were falling apart.
Nie Chen rode his horse back and got off the horse. When he saw Ye Xing struggling to get up, he kicked him directly.
Nie Chen was covered in steel armor and weighed dozens of kilograms. Even the soles of his boots were made of steel plates. With one kick, Ye Xing was kicked until he vomited blood.
"Don't move, you've already lost."
Nie Chen put the tip of his knife against Ye Xing's neck, and someone came from behind and tied up Ye Xing.
At this time, the battle was almost over. The enemy's 8,000 men outnumbered more than 1,000 and captured more than 1,000 alive. Almost all the rest died in the battle.
This kind of battle loss ratio is also very exaggerated in the history of war.
The people in Qingfeng Village were used to fighting and knew what to do without command. They escorted the prisoners back to the school grounds for custody, then moved the bodies, cremated them collectively, and cleaned the battlefield.
Nie Chen took Ye Xing to the Juyi Hall and threw him to the ground.
Ye Xing snorted coldly and said with dignity,
"Don't waste your breath, I won't surrender to you!"
Hearing this, Nie Chen laughed and said,
"I have no intention of recruiting you. Why are you being so sentimental?"
Ye Xing glared at Nie Chen, looking at this young man who was about the same age as himself, with contempt in his eyes.
"Hmph, you are just a bandit and a grassroots, and you are worthy of talking to this general. Let me go quickly, otherwise our Ye family will not let you go. When the time comes, you and your whole family will be skinned and cramped!"
"I suddenly want to kill you again."
Nie Chen sneered and said to Ma Niubi,
"Old Ma, beat him."
"Okay!"
Ma Niubai immediately stood up excitedly and started punching and kicking Ye Xing. Ye Xing fell to the ground with his kicks, screaming repeatedly.
While beating the horse and cattle, he praised Ye Xing as if he had smeared honey on his mouth.
"What the hell, you dare to threaten us even though you are already a prisoner. You don't care what kind of person you are. You have become such a bad person in the war and you still have the nerve to call yourself a general. How can you still have the nerve to survive?
If I were you, I would have fallen to death a long time ago. A piece of shit like you would only suffer a lot in this world.
It's a pity to kill a useless dog with thin skin and tender flesh. There are many good brothers of Longyang in the village, and they like you the most.
I’m not going to beat you to death yet, just clean your butt and let the brothers have some fun.
But you, a loser like you, will probably be killed if you can’t play for one night. Hey, you are such a loser..."
Ma Niubai kept hearing all kinds of filthy words, and everyone present felt ashamed to associate with him. But Ye Xing was also a man. He screamed after being beaten, but refused to beg for mercy.
But when he heard that Ma Niu was staring at his butt, his expression changed drastically and he started to panic.
Shi Ke cannot be humiliated. If his butt is really exploded, it will be worse than killing him.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, don't you just want money, I'll give you money, let me go!"
Hearing this, Ma Niubai stopped, picked him up, and looked at Nie Chen.
"Don't... don't hit me. I give up. How much money do you want? I can't give it to you!"
Ye Xing's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he said with runny nose and tears.
Nie Chen smiled slightly and said,
"I wanted to kill you, but you said you could get the money back, so I have to ask, how much do you think you are worth?"
"I... I can get one hundred thousand taels of silver and give me my freedom. Do you think that's okay?"
Ye Xing gritted his teeth and quoted a sky-high price.
This price is indeed quite good. Nie Chen's previous kidnapping of Liu Chong only cost 5,000 taels.
Although the Ye family's property is much larger than that of the Liu family, it is not bad to be able to spend one hundred thousand taels for a family member.
However, Nie Chen was not satisfied and shook his head and said,
"That's not enough. A descendant of the Ye family with a distinguished status is worth a hundred thousand taels of silver?
Moreover, if I ask for money from your Ye family, your Ye family may become angry and come over to attack me.
Let's do this. You write a letter to the county governor Liu Hu and ask him to prepare 200,000 taels of silver to redeem the person. Give him half a month. When the time is up and there is no silver, we will break up.
By the way, I’ll write this down by the way. If we break up the vote, we will spread the word that it was because Liu Hu was unwilling to take the money that he killed you Ye Xing. When the time comes, how will the Ye family deal with Liu Hu and let him go on his own? Think about it. "
Nie Chen walked up to Ye Xing, smiled slightly, and asked,
"Tell me, can it be done?"
Seeing Nie Chen's eyes with a knife hidden in his smile, Ye Xing swallowed hard, thinking about saving his life first, and said,
"Okay, I can write the letter, but you have to promise that during this period of time, you can't hurt me anymore, and you can't let this person hit me again."
Hearing this, Nie Chen smiled brightly and said,
"You are worried about your butt. I didn't expect that you value your butt more than your head."
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
Ye Xing gritted his teeth and roared.
Nie Chen smiled even brighter,
"Okay, not only will I not hurt you, I will also feed you with good food and drink."
"You swear you can't hurt me during this period, and you have to let me go after you receive the money!"
"Hurry up and write a letter. We in Qingfeng Village are all heroes who uphold justice for heaven and will not break our word."
Nie Chen smiled.
"Don't laugh..."
Ye Xing gritted his teeth with some grievance and said,
"Whenever you smile, I always feel like you're holding something back!"
