Chapter Forty-Nine: One Prisoner

Outside the Bone City, the fighting lasted from early morning to noon, and corpses were everywhere.

For the attacking Goguryeo army, the battle ended an hour ago, and the next hour was the time for the Yanbei army to pursue. Facing the melee of the impact, resisting four times the enemy army and constantly advancing slowly forward the front, even with the help of stone artillery arrows, the thousand troops under the command of Dian Wei still suffered heavy casualties, and the best equipped Yan Zhao warriors were killed and wounded, and the soldiers who finally withdrew to the city were less than two hundred, and they were still wounded, if it were not for Yanbei to finally lead the troops out of the city as reinforcements, I am afraid that there would not be even two hundred people left, and they would not be able to carry Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to kill.

Yanbei has not personally caught a knife in battle for two or three years, and even because of the many mundane things in the past two years, he has even been a little slack in practice...... In such a tragic battlefield, if it weren't for the protection of enough pro-troops around him, I am afraid that he would not be able to wait for victory.

The difficulty of this battle can be seen.

However, the pressure is only relative to the sparse soldiers in the east of the city, the battle in the south of the city can be described as overwhelming, with the cooperation of Zhao Yun's cavalry, Lu Yi is rampant, and the cavalry in the abdomen and back of the containment makes the enemy army in the front line can not resist with all their hearts, Lu Yi led more than 2,000 people only a few hundred casualties, as well as many soldiers who are out of strength, which is even smaller than Zhao Yun's cavalry casualties.

In this battle, Zhao Yun's performance made Yanbei even more blue-eyed...... The near-perfect personality allows this white-robed young general to cooperate with any of his subordinate generals, and the results are obvious.

Don't grab credit, don't fight for the wind, don't complain about the hardest and most tiring errands, and get on the horse with a gun.

Such a demeanor makes it difficult for the unruly Lu Yi to praise him, thinking that Zhao Yun is a person who can take on great responsibilities.

In this regard, Zhao Yun just arched his hand and stepped aside.

Yan Beizheng urged the military medicine craftsman to bandage the wounds of the guards sergeant, but he was not injured in this battle, only a few traces left by the arrows on the red armor, but his guards were wounded...... The general can't participate in the battle at will, obviously just by looking at this bright battle armor, the enemy knows which way the arrow rain should be thrown, which definitely attracts the attention of the enemy, and where the arrow rain falls, which makes the sergeant next to Yanbei miserable.

With this experience, as soon as Yan Bei returned to Susheng Bone City, he took off the red armor on his body, and ordered Lu Yi to also take off the green armor, and took out two sets of rusty simple black armor from the baggage and divided it with Lu Yi. Even if the five-pattern armor is indeed strong, it is too conspicuous on the battlefield, and it doesn't matter if you wear it idly in Liaodong, but on the battlefield where the sword has no eyes, the more plain it is, the better.

He didn't want this kind of trivial matter to cost him a general.

"What are the results, I heard that you captured the Goguryeo Dajia Tiger Division?"

Yan Bei bandaged the wounded guards in the camp, smiled and clapped his hands and motioned for the soldiers to go to the side to rest, and then sat on the stool and asked the troops: "How many prisoners have you captured?" ”

"Captive? General, you didn't say you wanted to be taken prisoner! Lu Yi stared wide, there were still blood stains on his face that had not been wiped off, and he was panting heavily, obviously not relieving, and said with a grin: "Koji's horse died, so he let the soldiers pursue, and the brothers killed everyone, so they left a tiger master." ”

Yan Bei frowned, nodded slowly, looked at Zhao Yun, and asked, "Is this the case over there?" ”

Feeling the displeasure in Yan Bei's eyes, Zhao Yun bowed his head slightly and said, "The subordinates did not capture the prisoners. ”

Yan Bei let out a sigh slowly, and wanted to lean back but remembered that this was not a couch, scratched his nose and said angrily: "In other words, out of eight thousand Goguryeo soldiers, only Yan captured more than 400 people and came back?" How many of you killed everyone, how many did you run? ”

"One, more than a thousand."

Yanbei understood that Zhao Yun's cavalry killed wherever they went, which was normal, but Lu Yi's subordinates actually killed all the enemy prisoners who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, which was a bit abnormal.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of capturing the tiger master, but Yan Bei already knew how to catch it, Zhao Yun chased the tiger master and picked a shot on his leg to stab him off the horse, and then went to pursue other enemies, Lu Yi picked up the tiger master and escorted him back to the city, and the two of them captured this prisoner.

Obviously, the murderous nature of this group of subordinates seems to be a little too great.

Guo Jia sat aside and sighed secretly in his heart, quietly pinched a handful of hawthorn, and ate it slowly. The slaughter of the city was done once and for all, but these soldiers could not change their minds for a while. Yanbei has a strong binding force on his subordinates, but it is based on long-term restraint and prestige. Although Guo Jia didn't know why this army was different from the other princes from the beginning, at least when they were in Han China, they would never harass the people.

But this is Goguryeo, especially this time Tu Susheng Bone City, which directly broke all the previous constraints.

Yesterday, Guo Jia saw Pan Ling, the bandit leader who covered his buttocks, and now he has received the order to supervise the slaves, and he can't fight and make meritorious contributions, and the grass will grow in his idle heart. When Guo Jia saw Pan Ling, the guy was whipping a few Goguryeo slaves and forcing them to learn how to bark on their stomachs on the ground. Guo Jia wanted to go to Pan Ling's side to find a few obedient Jian Nu to help him carry the books, but at that time, he glanced at it from a distance and dispelled this idea.

Fortunately, Yanbei found out early, although Guo Jia was reluctant to sue behind others' backs, if Yanbei didn't feel that there was a problem with this warlike army when he returned to Liaodong, I am afraid Guo Jia would have to say a few words.

Thousands of years of well-dressed and righteous education are not worth the slaughter of the city, turning all these samurai with swords into inhuman beasts.

"Zilong, you go to find the military chief Xia Houlan, and ask him to formulate a reward and punishment for me to effectively restrain the soldiers, I don't want my sergeant to return to Liaodong to be like this."

For some generals in this era, the more fierce and off-road the men, the better, such as Dong Zhuo's subordinates. But Yanbei is unwilling to put tens of thousands of madmen by his side, even obedient madmen.

"General Koji, bring the Tiger Division up, I want to ask this fool why he must attack the city today."

To tell the truth, Yanbei didn't believe that a Goguryeo Daga, a scholar who stood at the top of the kingdom, would not even know when to attack.

In fact, the Tiger Division was defeated and captured, and he was also full of regret. First, he underestimated the combat power of the Han army, and secondly, he insisted on doing it his own way. Even if he had a reason to attack, he only reacted at this time, if he was killed by Yanbei after the defeat, everything he was pursuing would be gone.

The tiger master was brought to the hall, and looking at a group of Han army generals with blood-stained armor surrounding a young man in simple and unpretentious battle armor, he heard the fierce general named Lu Yi next to him scolding sharply: "When you see my general, why don't you kneel!" ”

The tiger master turned a deaf ear, just his eyes swept around Yan Bei's body, he had long known that this young Han Duliao general had incomparable wealth, but he had not seen any exquisite ornaments on his body except for the ring knife.

Someone behind him kicked him in the crook of the leg, forcing Goguryeo, who was nearly fifty years old, to kneel on the ground, but the tiger master didn't seem to notice the pain, and only when he saw the fist-sized Yu Jue hanging from his waist, his heart suddenly tightened with bitterness...... Susheng Bone City, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight Goguryeo back.
