Chapter 435: Purging (continued)
Buzz! The sound of the bowstring was loud, and the dozens of archers hiding in the rear had already bent their bows and waited, and the bows and arrows were fired in unison, and the arrows rained down. Although there were only about forty archers here, the distance of less than twenty paces was enough for the bow and arrow to be used to its fullest effect. Shooting at close range, the opponent's formation is dense, and it is simply a missed shot. After two rounds of arrow rain, nearly 50 people were killed and wounded. The one who was hit by the arrow rolled to the ground, wailing.
Zhang Kang scolded repeatedly, shouting loudly and urging. The bandits could only rush forward, and the distance of twenty paces was only enough for the opponent to shoot two rounds of arrows, and then hand-to-hand combat, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Three-three array, kill!" Lin Jue shouted loudly in the face of the mountain bandits surging in like a tide.
Hearing this, one hundred and eighty soldiers of the Luoyan Army moved and formed a three-man battle formation. Swords, shields, and guns are far and near, this is a combat method that has been practiced every day for more than a month, and it is finally used in actual combat at this moment.
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing pulled an archer to form a battle formation and rushed straight into the crowd of opponents. Gao Muqing took a shield and turned into a sword and shield pawn, specially covering for Lin Jue and the archer, and let the two of them use the Wang Ba box to bombard, and the other to shoot the opponent with arrows. Kill all the way, and the dead and wounded behind them tumble and roll. In the meal time, dozens of people were killed and wounded, and they were invincible.
The rest of the soldiers in Luoyan Valley also performed well. For more than a month, he has been on the training ground every day, and he has been quite proficient in the three or three battle formations. In fact, many people still have some doubts in their hearts, after all, training is training, and actual combat is actual combat, and maybe actual combat may not be as useful as the military division's demonstration. But at this moment, they really realized the power of this battle array. They also truly understood the meaning of the large slogan hanging on the edge of the exercise ground written by the military adviser himself.
"Sweat more in training, shed less blood in wartime."
This slogan is simply a wise saying, because the soldiers of the Falling Goose Army and their opponents engaged in a scuffle, almost crushing them all the way. These people are also experienced in many battles, but not once do they feel that today's opponents are so weak and vulnerable. The soldiers of the Luoyan Army suffered no more than 20 casualties, but they had already crushed and injured nearly half of their opponents like meat grinders.
What made the bandits of Shiren Mountain feel even more terrifying was that they were already at a disadvantage in dealing with each other's formation. And tried his best to summon the blade to the opponent's body, only to find that the opponent was unscathed. It was only their clothes that were torn apart, and black armor was revealed under the tattered clothes. After many of the soldiers of the Luoyan Army were in tatters, they simply tore their coats to reveal a whole set of standard armor. Seeing this scene, the mountain bandits were about to collapse.
What kind of people are this, the number of people is obviously twice as small as their own, but their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. And people still wear standard armor. The five hundred guards in the main village of the bandits in Shiren Mountain are actually very well equipped. Zuo Zongdao attacked the defenders of Shannan County and made a lot of various armors. There are some cloth armor, leather armor, chain mail, and scale armor, and these armors are basically all equipped to these five hundred guards. It can be said that these 500 people are the best equipped and strongest in the Shiren Mountain Village. Looking at the major cottages in Funiu Mountain, it is enough to be proud.
But now, they really understand that compared to the people in front of them, the armor on their own people is simply rubbish. In terms of equipment, it is inferior to the other side, and it is not as good as the other party in terms of combat effectiveness. There were hundreds of casualties in half a pillar of incense, and the casualties of the other side were less than half of their own, and no one knew that this battle could not be fought. Many mountain bandits have already begun to flee, and they are now in a rout.
"Stop, brothers! Armistice! Armistice! Du Chengjiang shouted loudly: "We admit defeat and can't fight anymore." ”
Lin Jue gave the order in a loud voice, and the battle came to an abrupt end.
Zhang Kang was covered in blood and was stabbed several times on his body. But he was really lucky, these knives only hurt the skin, and they didn't kill him.
"Du Chengjiang, why admit defeat, victory or defeat is not scored, we still have the strength to fight." Zhang Kang roared.
Du Chengjiang frowned and sighed: "Brother Zhang, we lost. Look at the situation. Can't you see? We've already lost. ”
Zhang Kang looked back at the remaining two hundred or so subordinates, all of whom had frightened faces, their faces were pale, and their eyes looked like frightened rabbits, panicked and helpless. Looking at the battlefield, his brothers lay on the ground, some motionless, some wailing and rolling, and they couldn't be more miserable. sheet
"Brother Zhang, those who know the times are Junjie. We are no match for them. They are much higher than us in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment. Why let the brothers give their lives. The matter has come to this point, the number of Shiren Mountain Dazhai has been exhausted, and there is nothing to be done. Du Chengjiang swallowed and screamed.
There was a dull ache in his shoulder. Just now, with the idea of capturing the thief and the king, he rushed to Lin Jue and Gao Muqing's group with a team of brothers, and almost died. Lin Jue's Wang Ba box was aimed at his face, and when he thought that he was about to die like the rest of the people, the other party did not kill him, but just smashed his shoulder with the firearm. Even so, the iron firearm nearly broke his shoulder bone. But he knew that the other party had spared his life.
Zhang Kang knew that what Du Chengjiang said was true, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he sat on the ground with his butt and gasped.
Du Chengjiang walked towards Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, and several archers of the Luoyan Army bent their bows and arrows at him. Lin Jue waved his hand, and the archer lowered his bow and retreated to the side. Du Chengjiang walked up to Lin Jue and Gao Muqing and bowed.
"Du, thank you for not killing. We admit defeat and want to kill or take whatever you want. But please spare me, brothers. ”
Gao Muqing looked at him coldly and said, "Leader Du, isn't it too late to admit defeat at this moment?" I have good words to persuade you, but you just don't listen. Now you have not only killed dozens of your own men, but also killed more than 20 of us. It's really stupid. ”
Du Chengjiang was speechless and sighed: "If you want to kill or chop you, you can dispose of it casually, I have nothing to say." ”
Lin Jue opened his mouth and said, "What about Leader Zhang? To fall or not to fall? ”
Du Chengjiang looked at Zhang Kang, Zhang Kang wanted to say two hard words, but finally sighed and said: "That's it, the skills are not as good as others, why should you hurt the lives of your brothers in vain." It's me Zhang Kang who doesn't know the limelight, you just kill me, don't hurt my brothers. ”
Lin Jue sneered: "At this time, I will spare the lives of your brothers. Don't dream of your big village master? ”
Zhang Kang was speechless and regretted in his heart. Just now, he really moved his heart and wanted to be the master of Shiren Mountain. It turned out to be just a dream, and I woke up before it started. Back to the harsh reality.
"You are willing to surrender, we are not murderous people in Luoyan Valley Dazhai, we really want to accept your surrender. But how do we know that you are sincere in surrendering, and if you deceive our trust and stab us in the back, then we are not a woman's kindness. Lin Jue said.
Du Chengjiang said: "Although we are not upright men and gentlemen, what we say is also counted, otherwise can we still be human?" I, Du Chengjiang, can swear to the sky......"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "It's better to swear, the oath is the most unreliable." ”
Du Chengjiang said: "Then how can you believe it?" ”
Lin Jue pinched his chin and thought for a while, "In this way, if you are really willing to surrender to us, you need to show sincerity." Leader Du, I will let you go to the deputy village to persuade you to surrender, and let you lead a hundred people to go. If you can persuade the soldiers and horses of the Lieutenant Village to stop resisting, and all of them lay down their swords and come to surrender, I will believe you. ”
Du Chengjiang was stunned and said: "The deputy soldiers and horses don't necessarily listen to me, how can I do it?" ”
Lin Jue said: "If you can't persuade you to surrender, you will cut off fifty heads and come back, and I also believe that you are truly surrendering." ”
Du Chengjiang looked at Lin Jue in amazement, his face embarrassed. Lin Jue said coldly: "There is no room for bargaining here. You can also run away with a hundred people. But I'm going to cut off the heads of the 100 or so people who are left here. Their lives are on you. If you fail to fulfill my orders or run away, then the sum of these lives will be on your head. ”
Du Chengjiang said angrily: "Aren't you forcing me? What kind of order is this? If that's the case, I'm willing to stay here and let Leader Zhang go. ”
Du Chengjiang understands that the tricky condition proposed by the other party is actually forcing himself to break with the cottage. Whether it is persuasion or murder, you will not be able to turn back.
Lin Jue sneered: "He? I don't believe him. I still have some trust in you. This boss, let him out, he'll disappear in no time. You know, I value you. I might as well tell you my intentions, and if you can prove that you are truly surrendering to me, we will be lenient with the top and bottom of the Shiren Mountain Village. The Shiren Mountain Village will also be preserved, and we can even appoint you to garrison it. Of course, Shirenshan Dazhai will be under the jurisdiction of my Luoyan Valley Dazhai and become one of our sub-villages. That's good enough. You see, this leader's eyes are glowing, but unfortunately he is not qualified. He will not have such preferential treatment, I will not kill him, but I have land to cultivate in the valley of Luoyan Valley, and he will go to be a self-reliant farmer and support himself. ”
Du Chengjiang frowned and hesitated, Gao Muqing said coldly: "Military advisor, I don't think it's so troublesome, what are the defeated generals talking to them about?" If you don't want to go, you deliberately surrender, and you will try it out all of a sudden. Brothers, kill me. Those who do not descend will be killed cleanly, leaving no trouble. ”
The soldiers of the Luoyan Army promised in unison, and they were about to make a move with their eyebrows and angry eyes. Seeing this situation, Du Chengjiang knew that he was helpless, so he had to sigh and say, "That's it, I agreed." ”
The soldiers of the Falling Goose Army collected the weapons of the surrendered soldiers and escorted them to the front hall to concentrate on guard. When the situation does not stabilize, these people absolutely cannot be trusted. Having their weapons confiscated will prevent them from turning their backs at any time.
Gao Muqing led dozens of brothers to search in the main village, and searched out the more than 30 mountain bandits who had escaped and hid in the corner, as well as the families of dozens of mountain bandit leaders, and concentrated on guarding them.
At the same time, Lin Jue led people to reinforce the main village. There, Yuan Lang had already repelled the onslaught of the mountain bandits several times. The mountain bandits began to build ladders to climb up at the drop cliffs on both sides of the main village, and Yuan Lang did not have many people, so he couldn't hold it anymore. But Lin Jue led people to arrive and immediately stabilized the situation and suppressed the momentum of the opponent's onslaught.
