At this time, the battle in the swamp was coming to an end, and a large number of officers and soldiers were killed. In the end, Ye Ying had to give an order not to kill officers and soldiers who were unable to resist and who had been captured.
This time the officers and soldiers attacked Fuhu Mountain and killed some bandits from Feiyinghui, but Ye Ying still couldn't bear to kill all these officers and soldiers.
"Master, we found this thing on a horse." A bandit hurried over from the swamp and handed Ye Ying a leather bag. Ye Ying opened the leather bag and took out something inside. After examining it carefully, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then he handed the thing to Zhuge Ying who was standing aside.
Zhuge Ying picked up the thing and saw that it was actually a token. Then he looked at the "Zhaowu Lieutenant" people behind the token and started to laugh.
"Finally found this thing. While Lord Sima is injured and slow to move, we can put him to great use." Zhuge Ying was a little excited at this time, because this will be the first step in the qualitative change of the Flying Eagle Society.
The bandits of the Flying Eagle Society fought very well in this battle. Guangwei General Zeng Yi led nearly 30,000 Crazy Lion Army soldiers. Except for a few dozen people led by Sima Chi who left smoothly, the rest were almost wiped out. Even Zeng Yi himself was captured alive.
However, Ye Ying did not have time to celebrate this victory. At this time, he had already rushed to Fuhu Mountain with most of the combat personnel, because there were still four to five thousand officers and soldiers guarding the Feiyinghui's stronghold, so he could only drive them away and hide. More than 20,000 bandits who entered the mountains could return home.
The commander who stayed at the Feiyinghui's stronghold in Fuhu Mountain was the deputy commander of the bandit suppression and the commander-in-chief of one of the two armies that came to Fuhu Mountain.
Daning military system, 5 people per corps, commander corps leader, 5 corps (25 people) is one mile, commander li is long, 5 miles is one team, commander team is in charge, 5 teams one battalion, commander battalion command Envoy, 5 because of one unit, commander Xiaowei. Further up are the armies, with an army consisting of 5 to 10 units. The commander is usually a general or a governor.
The number of more than 4,000 officers and soldiers left behind in the stronghold was actually smaller than the number of bandits hiding in the mountains, but they were well-equipped and extremely powerful, so they were not afraid of the bandits' attacks.
In order to avoid being attacked by bandits in the mountains, the governor who stayed in the village to take command did not take the initiative to search for traces of bandits in the mountains. He waited hopefully for General Zeng Yi to kill the escaped bandits before going into the mountains to suppress the bandits together.
But the Governor never dreamed that the General of the Mad Lion Army, who had many soldiers, well-equipped and fierce fighting, would be defeated by a group of bandits. Even Guangwei General Zeng Yi would be captured by the bandits.
Zeng Yi led most of the soldiers to pursue Ye Ying's troops who had escaped. The governor was very relieved. The powerful Mad Lion Army had chased down a few bandits, but they were not easy to capture.
It was precisely because of the governor's mentality that led to his tragedy. As soon as he defeated the officers and soldiers led by Zeng Yi, Ye Ying had people block the news. He immediately led the Qinglong Army, the strongest force in the Flying Eagle Association under his jurisdiction, and joined the Xuanwu Army led by Qi Jiao and Shan Fu, and rushed to Fuhu Mountain as quickly as possible.
By the time Ye Ying led the bandits to the mountainside of Fuhu Mountain, it was already dusk. At this time, he did not rush into the Feiyinghui village to fight with the officers and soldiers, but stationed his team on the mountainside. At the same time, people were sent to intercept the returning officers and soldiers to prevent them from bringing back the news of the defeat.
During the first watch, two fires burned on the mountainside of Fuhu Mountain. The fires were very conspicuous at night. After Chen Gang, Fan Lingyan and others hiding in the mountains saw the two fires, they finally felt relieved. Because this means that Ye Ying has achieved a big victory.
"Brothers, it's time to take back our mountain stronghold and drive away the invading jackals. Come down the mountain with me to kill the enemy!" Fan Lingyan stood on a steep slope and shouted to the densely packed bandits below. Then he and Chen Gang He took the lead and headed down the mountain in the direction of the flying eagle returning to the village.
Although they had only been hiding in the mountains for a few days, the conditions here were so bad that the bandits could no longer bear it any longer. When they heard that they were going to take back their homes, everyone felt extremely excited and rushed out following Fan Lingyan and others.
"Captain, the bandits are coming!" The governor who stayed behind was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by the soldiers on duty.
When he heard that the bandits were attacking, the governor did not panic. He ordered the soldiers to stand up and line up immediately. With the fighting power of the Mad Lion Army, even if the bandits that came were two or three times the number of officers and soldiers, he was confident that he could kill them all.
At this time, there was movement from the bottom of the mountain. Judging from the sound, a large group of people came up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Brothers, Master Zeng has returned after killing the escaped bandits. We just happened to kill all the invading bandits." Hearing the sound at the bottom of the mountain, the commander leading the army was not surprised but overjoyed. He excitedly headed towards his soldiers shouted.
The governor never dreamed that those rushing up the mountain were not the soldiers of the Mad Lion Army led by Zeng Yi, but the King of Hell who came to demand their lives.
The Qinglong and Xuanwu armies rushed from the foot of the mountain to Feiyinghui's village as fast as possible. They killed the officers and soldiers mercilessly when they saw them along the way, catching the officers and soldiers off guard.
By the time the governor discovered that it was not Zeng Yi who came up, but the bandits led by Ye Ying, it was already too late. He and the soldiers of the Mad Lion Army he led were already caught in a two-sided attack.
"Brothers of the Mad Lion Army, I am Ye Ying, the master of the Flying Eagle Association. The army led by Zeng Yi has been completely wiped out. Even your Guangwei General Zeng Yi has been captured by us. You should quickly put down your weapons and surrender. Bar!"
Ye Ying stood under several torches so that all the Crazy Lion Army soldiers could see him clearly, and used ten layers of internal power to send his voice to the Crazy Lion Army soldiers.
"What, our people were defeated, Master Zeng was also caught." Hearing Ye Ying's shout, the soldiers of the Wild Lion Army suddenly panicked, and everyone started talking.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He must have escaped from defeat and wants to make money from us. Brothers, don't be fooled." Seeing the commotion among his soldiers, the governor immediately shouted to stop it.
After listening to the governor's words, the soldiers began to calm down. They thought what the governor said made sense. How could those bandits armed with kitchen knives and hoes be able to defeat the Mad Lion Army soldiers, let alone capture Lord Zeng.
But the next moment, these soldiers were completely in a greater panic. A bandit pushed out a tied man from the crowd. Under the light of several torches, many soldiers could clearly see the tied man. Isn't it their Guangwei general Zeng Yi?
"Oh my god, it's really General Zeng. Our people were actually defeated." For a moment, the officers and soldiers were filled with despair. The commander-in-chief was captured by the enemy. How could we still fight this battle?
Zeng Yi looked at his men across from him with a face of shame. He was not afraid of death. At this time, he even wanted to shout to the soldiers, encouraging them not to care about themselves and work hard to kill the enemy, but in humiliation, the bandits blocked their mouths with a piece of rag. .
"Brothers, kill all these damn officers and soldiers and take back our homes." The morale of the officers and soldiers dropped to freezing point, but the bandits were passionate at this time. They shouted and rushed towards the officers and soldiers who occupied their homes.
"The sword and shield soldiers are in the front to resist the enemy, the spear soldiers are in the center to support, and the crossbow soldiers are at the end to attack from a distance." Seeing this situation, the commander-in-chief of the army had no other choice but to have his soldiers form a defensive formation.
In normal times, the governor's method here is very suitable for the current situation, but now, the officers and soldiers and even the commander have been captured by the enemy. They really can't muster the energy to fight the bandits, so they have to fight and retreat, and they are quickly attacked from both ends by the bandits. Surrounded, they had to retreat to a high ground and defend by danger.
In just one or two hours, many young lives disappeared in the war. Of course, most of these people were officers and soldiers of the Mad Lion Army.
If it were another team, many of these officers and soldiers would have knelt down and surrendered long ago, but this group of Crazy Lion Army soldiers was different. Although they stepped back step by step with anxious looks in their eyes, they were still in neat formation, without any trace of A sign of surrender.
"Look at this situation, if we want to kill all these people, we have to pay a big price." Fan Lingyan stood with Ye Ying, Chen Gang and Zhuge Ying, watching the battlefield quietly. Seeing this scene, she Couldn't help but say.
"Brothers are proud enough to be able to defeat a team like the Mad Lion Army. As for the sacrifice, I think it is worth it." After hearing Fan Lingyan's words, Chen Gang couldn't help but say.
"Commander, do you have any idea? It can completely destroy their morale." After hearing what the two of them said, Ye Ying turned his head and said to Zhuge Ying who was standing aside.
The most surprising thing was Zhuge Ying. After hearing Ye Ying's words, not only did he not show any anxious expression, but he looked at the confident person with a smile.
"I think the boss has already figured out a way, so Zhuge doesn't have to do whatever he wants." Zhuge Ying's words left Fan Lingyan and Chen Gang on the side confused.
"Stop everyone!" After hearing Zhuge Ying's words, Ye Ying quickly took a few steps forward, then quickly jumped onto a roof and shouted at the two sides fighting.
With the blessing of inner strength, Ye Ying's sound was as loud as a bell, which could be heard clearly by everyone fighting at the scene. Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked at Ye Ying who was standing high up.
"Brothers of the Mad Lion Army, this war has been going on for so long. We have all lost so many brothers. They are all good men. They did not die on the battlefield fighting the invaders. They did die on the battlefield. Do you think it's worth it for Ning compatriots to fight among themselves?" After Ye Ying said this, he looked at everyone present quietly, wanting to give them some time to think.
After hearing what Ye Ying said, not only the officers and soldiers surrounded in the middle, but also the bandits standing on the outside fell into deep thought.
"My brothers from the Flying Eagle Congregation are not extremely evil people. You can go out and ask around. People in several nearby counties know that we have the title of righteous bandits. In fact, we are a group of self-sufficient common people who do not want to be exploited by the court. But this is not the case. What kind of justice is this for having some people's interests at stake and sending you to destroy us, causing so many brothers on both sides to bleed and die?" After a pause, Ye Ying shouted again.
What Ye Ying said was very simple, but it was the most practical and true truth. Some officers and soldiers lowered their heads in shame, while the bandits surrounding the outside were filled with indignation.
"Brothers, our Flying Eagle Society is already sure of victory, but we don't want our hot-blooded men from Daning to sacrifice their lives like this. I am ordering my brothers to make way for a passage. If you don't want to fight anymore, you can throw down all your weapons and armor and leave. , if you still want to continue the war, then our brothers in the Flying Eagle Society don’t care about another bloody battle.”
After Ye Ying said this, he quietly looked at the people below for a long time. News came back a few days ago. After the new king of the Northern Barbarians, Heihan Mugu, came to power, he has gradually consolidated his power and started to mobilize his troops. A new war between Daning and the Northern Barbarians is imminent. He really does not want to consume a lot of strength due to internal fighting at this time. .
After hearing Ye Ying's words, the bandits felt a little unwilling, but they followed his instructions and made way to the bottom of the mountain. Their eyes fell on the officers and soldiers surrounding them in the middle, waiting for them to make the final decision.
