Chapter 437: Defeated like a mountain

The two sides were still pushing each other, and when they didn't give in to each other, bows and arrows fell behind them, and they were falling into the Miao army facing each other, and for a while, I don't know how many people fell to the ground with arrows.

"What about our archers? Fight back. Seeing the arrows falling from the sky, Zhang Zeng, who was commanding the war in the rear army, shouted loudly. With his shouting, some scattered archers also began to return fire, hitting the shield of the second echelon of the Yang family's army, and almost no damage was caused except for the sound of ping-pong impact.

Following the faint counterattack of the Miao army, the soldiers of the first echelon of the Yang family army took out their crossbows and bows and began to counterattack, and at close range, an arrow was fired, accompanied by the fall of one of the opponent's figures, or the screams of the other.

The third echelon also took this opportunity to quickly catch up, and then the big swords and spears danced wildly, and the Miao army, which had already been frightened, how could they resist?

Zhang Zeng was still sitting on his horse and wanted to command, but a bow and arrow from nowhere was being thrown and landed on his left shoulder, eliciting a cry of pain from him.

"General, the general is wounded, quick! The general was wounded, and the general was protected to retreat. Seeing that the protected boss was also hit by an arrow, dozens of soldiers around him shouted and stepped forward, and then pulled him off his horse without saying anything, and retreated to the rear with support.

Even the pro-soldiers saw the defeat and even the irreversible defeat ahead, so why couldn't Zhang Zeng see it? Taking this opportunity, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, did not say anything, and let everyone carry him to the rear and retreat.

"Those who surrender on their knees will live, or die!" The shout from the loudspeaker seemed to ring in the ears of the chaotic Miao Jun, and the shout caused many people to look stunned, and they stood in place a little overwhelmed.

"Da-da-da... Da da da..."The Yang Jiajun of the fourth echelon also arrived, and even Leng Feng, who was holding the 95 style, finally hooked the board machine, and what followed was the scene of people falling to the ground one after another.

This sudden gunfire became the last straw that oppressed the chaotic Miao army, and the situation on the battlefield was also settled at this moment. The Miao family's choice is only to flee and surrender.

"Run..."Some Miao Jun, who reacted quickly and was in the rear, turned around and ran as soon as possible. And some of the Miao soldiers who wanted to run, but were surrounded in the middle, were not so lucky, and when mercenaries had begun to appear around them, these people seemed to have only one way to choose, that is, to surrender on their knees.

The gunfire continued, and the clash of cold weapons also occurred from time to time, but it was clear that the movement was getting smaller and smaller, and the battle was coming to an end before it officially began...

In the base camp of the Miao army, although the king Miao Jinlong was still sitting at the top of the military tent, his expression was obviously not so calm. The moment he heard the explosions one after another, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't want to admit everything when he didn't receive the battle report from the front.

"Report!" The curtain of the military tent was lifted from the outside, and then the scout general who rushed in fell to his knees with a thud, "Report to the king, our army has been ambushed by the other party and is retreating in defeat." ”

"Ambush? What kind of ambush? Didn't it mean that the mercenaries were resting and sleeping? Miao Jinlong stood up from the chair abruptly, stared at a pair of red eyes, and said in a cold voice.

"We still have to find out the specifics, but it is a fact that the army is retreating, please break it quickly." The scout general didn't know how to explain everything he saw, he only remembered the moment the fire flashed, his eyes seemed to be spent, and then not long after, what he saw was the image of the Miao army retreating frantically.

"If you can't find out, what's the use of you?" Listening to his subordinates' answers, Miao Jinlong was angry, although he had already felt bad just now, but when the answer appeared, he found that he was still a little unbearable.

Miao Jinlong had already lost his square inch in anger, but fortunately, Zou De and Zou Xiucai's mind was not messy, after all, this was the ending he had expected a long time ago. It's just that others are soft-spoken and can't stop it, and he also wants Zhang Zeng to suffer a big loss, so as not to continue to be so arrogant in the future.

Now that he saw that the front was really defeated, he immediately stood up in the queue and said to Miao Jinlong: "King, if you lose in front, you should immediately send a general to meet you, so as to reduce the loss." At the same time, closing the camp gate and preparing for defense is the best way. ”

Miao Jinlong, who was in a mess of his mind, heard Zou De's words, as if a drowning man had caught a dead wood, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, just do what Zou Xiucai said, do what you said." ”

This was originally the countermeasure that had been discussed before, after all, it is also the art of war to seek defeat before winning. Of course, these suggestions were put forward by Zou De, and it was also under his persuasion that this time the Miao army only dispatched 20,000 people, otherwise, maybe more people would be sent, and the natural losses might be greater.

After having Miao Jinlong's order, the Miao army camp soon moved, it was necessary to save people to save people, and those who should defend the camp stepped up their defense, and finally did not lose an inch in the chaos, and more importantly, Kuang Ye, who originally wanted to find an opportunity to send troops, could not find a suitable opportunity.

Kuang Ye saw that the Miao army was going to steal the camp, and it was precisely because of this that he thought about what he should do, for example, if the mercenaries were defeated, they would have to guard the city gate, on the contrary, if the mercenaries won a big victory, could he also take the initiative to attack, for example, to smash Huanglong, capture the Miao army's camp, and capture or kill Miao Jinlong alive?

Of the two options, he also focused on the second item to prepare. With his understanding of the mercenaries, of course, he thinks that Yang Chendong's hope of victory in this battle is greater.

In fact, after bursts of fire and roar, the Miao army was defeated. In this way, Kuang Ye sent people out of the city urgently to watch every move of the Miao army's base camp, and at the same time, in addition to leaving a part of the troops to Guan Ying to defend the city, General Ma Wei and General Yu Guang were gathered by him, and fully prepared a thousand soldiers to steal the camp.

However, after the strength was still too small, and after getting the result that the Miao army's base camp was not chaotic and the defense was orderly, Kuang Ye could only give up the practice of taking military action with a disappointed face.

First, his own troops are too small, and stealing the other party's 60,000 military camps with 1,000 looks no different from looking for death.

Second, Yang Chendong was not informed in advance, and if he attacked without someone to assist him, it was likely that there would be no return.

Kuang Ye stopped all military operations, and only sent scouts to investigate the situation outside, and he still had a glimmer of hope, that is, whether the mercenaries would take the opportunity to kill the Miao army's base camp, if so, he would definitely intervene.

To Kuang Ye's disappointment, the mercenaries had no intention of storming the Miao army's base camp. After only two miles of rushing, he stopped, and then turned back to clean up the battle, and group after group of prisoners were bound by ropes and brought back to the mercenary barracks; Pile after pile of fires burned, directly igniting the corpses of those dead Miao soldiers. This is not to destroy the corpses, but to prevent any plague from appearing in so many dead people.

Zhang Zeng still escaped back, and there were 8,000 Miao troops who fled back with him, and when they withdrew to the base camp of the Miao army one by one in shock, they couldn't take a step with their feet as if they were filled with lead, and they sat on the ground like this.

The soldier can pretend to be a bear, but Zhang Zeng, who is a general, cannot, he climbed into the main tent and knelt down in front of Miao Jinlong, asking for punishment.

Looking at Zhang Zeng, who was still injured on his left shoulder, although Miao Jinlong hated it in his heart, he still didn't punish too much, this was the general who followed him to get into trouble, he was a hero, and he was the purest Miao person, so he just reprimanded him for a few words and let him go down to recuperate.

Regarding Miao Jinlong's nostalgia, Zou De, who watched everything from the sidelines, both admired and hated.

Appreciating a sentient and righteous master is exactly the goal he should follow, and following such a person, at least he doesn't have to worry about being ruthlessly abandoned; What I hate is that I pay too much attention to feelings, it is difficult to achieve anything big, and nepotism is easy to do bad things.

Zou De was still analyzing Miao Jinlong's character and the advantages and disadvantages of doing things, and one of the kings of the Miao clan over there had already spoken to him: "Mr. Zou, this time our Miao army has suffered a big loss, in your opinion, what should we do next?" ”

"The King." Zou De quickly put away his wandering thoughts, and said with a very serious look, "After tonight's events, we have seen that the strength of this mercenary is indeed very powerful. Such an opponent, it's better not to hit hard, otherwise, it can hurt the king's roots, it's better to defend first, and report the matter to the king, and the king will deal with everything. ”

"Is this loss just recognized?" Miao Jinlong seemed to ask with a hint of unwillingness.

"Of course, we can't admit it like this, but if we try our best to defeat the mercenaries at this time, I'm afraid that we will fall into the hands of some people, and it is not a good thing to hurt a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred ourselves. It's better to respond to all changes with the same and look for opportunities in the slow picture. "How could Zou De not see that this was simply the performance of Miao Jinlong's fierce inwardness? Obviously, he saw the strength of the mercenary, and he didn't want to be an enemy of it, and he was worried that others would say that he was cowardly. That is, it is good to help him find an excuse and find a staircase to go down.

Zou De has lived in the Miao nationality for so many years, and he does understand the situation enough. Just this sentence hit Miao Jinlong's mind, making him nod his head incessantly, and his originally cold expression eased a lot.
