The attack was sudden, everyone had no time to react at all, several people were directly shot down by the arrows, Ye Shikai wanted to save people, but the crossbow arrows as dense as raindrops came in an instant, and even the shield didn't have time to stand, no matter who it was, they were powerless, so they could only watch the sergeant die with an arrow.

"Damn. Ye Shikai ordered the shield soldiers to form a shield array, but the sergeants who came were not trained and were suddenly attacked, and they were already in chaos without a fight, only caring about retreating backwards.

At this time, the enemy suddenly heard a trumpet, the wolf clan heard this trumpet, they stopped, retreated backwards, evacuated along the complex and dense alleys, never in love with war, Ye Shikai has not even reacted, everyone has disappeared, the north of the village is a deep mountain, if the wolf clan enemy army drills into the forest, it is "like a fish in water", not to mention one or two hundred people, even if it is one or two hundred people, even if it is one or two thousand people, to this deep mountain, it is like a bowl of water spilled out in the dog days, and soon there will be no trace.

"Damn. Ye Shikai couldn't help but scold, the enemy is dark and I am clear, even if they chase into the mountain, thousands of mountain roads, I don't know which one they are going, if they divide the troops to pursue, I am afraid that they are not the opponent, and the casualties will only increase, and the task of these two thousand sergeants is to rush to Yandu as quickly as possible, not to chase and suppress these sneaking wolf clans.

Five minutes later.

"Chief, what about them. "Man Cang arrived with a large group of Qin soldiers, but only saw a dozen corpses of the Qin army on the ground, and a group of soldiers who were timidly cowering on the ground.

"Let them all run. Ye Shikai was also unwilling, if it weren't for the cold of these sergeants, at least there would not be so many people, and he could even catch these people.

"Bastard. Seeing this, Man Cang was angry, and among the soldiers who died in battle was his brother of the former Wei Wushu, holding a long knife in one hand, and directly lifting the three elders who were cowering in the corner into the air with the other.

"Old thing, you dare to fornicate with the enemy army and kill so many brothers of Lao Tzu, according to Qin law, it is enough to break your car, I will kill you. Man Cang was so angry that he raised his long knife, wanting to cut the three elders in two to relieve the hatred in his heart, indeed, if he hadn't concealed it and didn't report it, Ye Shikai would not have been ambushed, and he could even annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"The adults spare their lives, the villains are also coerced by them, and the lives of the young women and children in the village are in their hands, and the villains are really ...... It's really helpless. ”

"Harboring the enemy army, but also secretly helping them, according to the Qin law, your whole village will be executed, you are afraid of the wolf clan, are you not afraid of us, there are two thousand people outside the village, as long as you give an order, you will all be executed." Mancang was also excited, if the whole village had to be punished, it would be too serious.

"Stand down. Ye Shikai scolded, and Mancang let go of the three elders.

"My lord, my lord spares my life, we are also forced to be helpless, if we want to be punished, I ask my lord to punish only one person, and don't punish others. With tears in his eyes, the three elders knelt at Ye Shikai's feet.

"Tun Chief, this old man must not be forgiven, otherwise the brothers will not die in vain. ”

"Okay, I will personally discuss the punishment with Shangguan, you don't need to say much, let Shangguan bring people in, the whole army will cook and rest, and then send a team of people to patrol the village to prevent there from lurking wolf clans. ”

"What are you going to do with this? Shangguan Jian's face was solemn, the death of more than a dozen soldiers, although the loss was not very large, but after all, they had just set off, and they suffered this kind of thing, which was somewhat damaging to the morale of the army, and the most important thing was that this time the matter was very bad.

"This time, even the three elders colluded with the wolf clan, if you don't deal with him, I'm afraid the anger of the army will not be calm. Ye Shikai listened beside him, silent, hesitated for a long time, and Shangguan Jian muttered.

"I have no opinion on the outcome of the third elder's disposition, and this time he is the most responsible. In the end, Ye Shikai spoke, the three elders have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, although Ye Shikai is kind-hearted, he also knows that this is not the original intention of the three elders, but after all, this is the Qin State, and if you do something, you have to take responsibility.

"There are also those soldiers, according to the military order, who escaped from the battle and caused the death of their comrades, and they should be beheaded according to the law, and their families must also serve in conscription. ”

"Lao Ye, you don't have any opinions. Shangguan Jian asked.

"I don't have an opinion, now the morale of the army is still not cohesive, and some people will flee in small battles of dozens of people, and if they go to the battlefield, these people will kill thousands, or even tens of thousands. Ye Shikai was also angry, he was at the scene at the time, and he was almost about to cut people directly with a sword.

"As for those villagers, they are all people who harbored the wolf clan, according to the laws of the Qin State......"

"There were many women, children, and children among them. Before Shangguan Jian could finish speaking, Ye Shikai interrupted him.

"I know you're not the kind of person who likes to kill innocents. Shangguan Jian said lightly.

"These women and children may not even know that the wolf clan is coming, and this is also something done under their coercion, if it is a matter of responsibility, this village is controlled by the infiltrated wolf clan, and the local county garrison is not responsible. ”

"So, don't you want to punish other people. Shangguan Jian asked.

"I'm just on the facts, and the final decision is still in your hands. ”

"Since you don't approve, then it is enough to execute one of the three elders this time, and as for the new three elders in the village, just find another person to serve as them. ”

"Old Ye, you said that if we really meet the wolf clan, with our current people, can we have a chance of winning. Shangguan Jian suddenly asked.

"If we have an advantage in numbers, we have a 60% chance of winning, if we have an equal number of people, we have a 30% chance of winning, and if we have a disadvantage in numbers, our chances of winning are almost zero. "Although Ye Shikai said that it sounds ugly, it is also objective, they are not a border garrison force that has experienced a hundred battles, but just a group of peasants who have no actual combat experience, if they can give Ye Shikai two months, at least they can train them to fight with the wolf clan, but now, where is there two months.

"My lord, it's not good, the wells in the village have been poisoned, and the army can't replenish the water source, so how can we march. At this time, Mancang suddenly walked in, and the river outside the village was poisoned by the wolf clan, causing part of the well water to be poisoned.

"The third elder once said that the source of some well water is mountain springs, and these spring veins are buried deep in the mountains, and the wolf clan should not be so easy to find. ”
