Chapter 190: News
As the big boss shouted "surrender", all the bandits threw down their weapons and sat down in place, but they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Each of the three bandit armies has its own master, and it is impossible to say who commands whom. Before the battle, the nobles discussed the general plan and assigned tasks to the three leaders, and they only had to complete their part of the responsibility.
What if the development of the plot does not follow the set script?
Cold!
To put it nicely, these three teams are required to cooperate with each other and adapt to the situation. The old man is a dignified nobleman, and he is not a big soldier who leads the army to fight, so it is already very good to be able to set a strategy of "frontal blocking, ambush and outflanking on both wings". If we still need to worry about other side matters, what's the use of raising you people?
Therefore, it stands to reason that the big boss can only make one-third of the bandits surrender. But the actual situation was that as soon as the words of "surrender" fell, no matter which way the bandits belonged to, everyone threw away their weapons and gave up resistance.
In fact, the will to fight of all the bandits has long been on the verge of collapse, and if this "surrender" comes a little later, maybe they will have broken up in an uproar and fled for their lives.
They are private soldiers recruited by the family, not dead soldiers who have been brainwashed since childhood. In such a dangerous situation just now, fighting desperately against the enemy who could not be defeated, it is already very worthy of the money issued by the noble lords. Do you want to die for them senselessly? Why?
Not to mention ordinary bandits, even the leader of the ambush on the left has no doubt about surrendering, and tacitly agrees. He was panting at the moment, sitting on the ground without an image, and even the wound on his left arm that was bleeding could not be treated for the time being.
He is also a bronze fighter, and he can be counted as a master among the more than 1,000 bandits. But in the chaotic scene just now, his situation was not much better than that of ordinary bandits. The still bleeding scar on his left arm speaks volumes.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain, but they seem to be sandwiched between two mountains that are about to topple, and they are crowded with people on the left and right, and there is no place to escape.
But he's lucky, at least he's still sitting here feeling the pain all over his body. The leaders of the other side were much more unlucky. In the melee, he was first squeezed by his own people. Before he could distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, he was hit by a rampaging soldier, and several spikes pierced through his chest, and he was extremely aggrieved to die.
This battle is fought like this, is there any other way out than surrender?
The battle was over, and the nobles who were far behind slowly leaned over to this side.
Whether they like it or not, accept it or not, they can't change who they are losers.
Of course, on the surface, they are part of the bandit force, and they are also on the winning side.
But this identity makes them even more uncomfortable. Seeing the heavy casualties of the professionals who were finally recruited by the family, he had to make a cheerful victor. This kind of kung fu is really not something that any nobleman can do.
The nobles reluctantly stepped forward, and here the troops of the mission were cleaning up the battlefield.
The bandits, who could still move, threw down their weapons and squatted together with their heads in their hands. The warriors were replaced, pointed inward, and surrounded them.
The nobles walked to a nearby stop while the third young master and several nobles of considerable status walked towards Princess Yalina.
The families of several people can be regarded as the best among the nobles, and the cultivation of the city government and the nobility is extremely deep. Even though their respective losses also hurt their flesh, they were personable and had a gentle smile on their faces, which made it impossible to see the slightest clue.
As soon as he got closer, he happened to hear Tang Feng reporting the battle damage.
“…… A total of about 1,800 bandits were dispatched, about 700 were killed or seriously wounded, and the remaining 1,000 people surrendered. Our army fought 301 men and 28 were wounded, 3 of whom were seriously wounded. Casualties: Zero! ”
The fighters were small in number and well-trained, and their statistics were extremely fast and accurate. The bandit army is much more troublesome, and even their own leaders can't figure out how many people are under their hands in each family, not to mention that one of the three major leaders has died. In a short period of time, Tang Feng could only get a rough number.
Tang Feng did not lower his voice, and even deliberately raised the volume with excitement. He was well aware of Anthony's purpose and intentions, and he took this opportunity to throw his dazzling achievements at the nobles who came over.
Tang Feng's scheming was not in vain.
The Third Young Master and the others paused, staring at Tang Feng with frightened and inexplicable eyes.
It was a one-sided battle, from beginning to end, and the nobles had expected this. And the facts have proved that this view is not wrong, and the only slight deviation is that this reversal is reversed.
But no matter how smooth the battle situation is, no matter how brilliant the battle record, it is impossible to kill hundreds of enemies and capture thousands of enemies, right? Not to mention, none of our own soldiers died in battle.
You know, they're only 300, 300!
What about their opponents? Listen to what Tang Feng said, there are 1,800 people! There are hundreds more than the number of people the nobles said before, and they are all added by each family, and I add a little more.
The already safe thing can be regarded as another insurance, even if there is a small accident, there is no need to worry about it at all.
Where did I think that no accident happened, and people just relied on the knife in their hands to get themselves down.
At this moment, the various families can be regarded as broken and weakened, and the losses are great.
If it weren't for the fact that the momentum was not right here, and he hurriedly signaled the big boss to surrender immediately, the remaining more than 1,000 people would probably not be able to keep it. Next, they have to worry about how to get these people back from Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The third young master and the others were stunned and continued to walk forward, leaving only a sigh.
It's not that we don't work hard, it's that the enemy is too **!
Seeing several nobles coming, Her Royal Highness the princess took the initiative to greet her.
"Your Excellency has come just in time, thanks to the brave soldiers who killed the enemy, our army has fulfilled its mission and has broken all the main forces of the bandit army. According to rough statistics, there are about 1,800 bandits here. After this battle, it is estimated that the bandits in the mountains and forests here have been wiped out. ”
Several aristocratic lords accompanied the smiling faces and congratulated them repeatedly, and their respectful attitude towards Princess Arlina was much more real than before.
Face is earned on your own.
After today's battle, everyone has seen the strong strength of Her Royal Highness the princess, and no one dares to treat her as just a beautiful vase sent by the royal family.
The Third Young Master was about to speak, when suddenly a spherical object was thrown over with a sudden thud and rolled to his feet with a grunt.
Several aristocratic lords looked at each other, and they were all frightened, and they took a few steps back one after another.
It was a bloody human head!
A warrior in armor strode up, the armor on his head long removed from his head, revealing a wild but youthful countenance.
"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure! Are there any other bandits in this forest? ”
As he spoke, the young warrior looked at the pale nobles opposite, his knife-sharp gaze aimed maliciously at their necks, and anyone could see that he meant, "I haven't killed enough."
The third young master was a little younger, and he reacted faster than the others, so he quickly shook his head and waved his hand.
"No, no, really no!"
The relationship between the nobles and these bandits is well known to everyone. Looking at the undisguised killing intent in the eyes of this warrior whose armor was full of blood, the third young master was very skeptical that the red-eyed young man would be slashed as a bandit.
Anthony on the side frowned and shouted, "Paul, what are you doing?" Say how many times you've been so frizzy. You scared a few adults, you know? Don't apologize yet! ”
The young man named Paul was obedient, and immediately bent down and said, "I'm sorry! ”
Several nobles hurriedly waved their hands: "It doesn't matter, don't ......"
I was about to politely express my generosity, but I didn't think that this damn boy had turned to Anthony and put aside a few high-powered, majestic and stable nobles, and the scene was extremely funny. Where did they think that Paul was just taking the apology as an order, and as for sincerity, it was not at all.
"Chief, this is one of the leaders of those bandits, and I killed it with my own hands. Do you think you should take credit for my first credit? ”
Anthony didn't frolic with him, and said with a straight face: "Wait a minute, don't you see that I'm discussing important matters with a few adults?" Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”
"Yes."
Paul drooped his head, listlessly responded, and turned away.
Anthony bowed his hand to several nobles and said apologetically: "I am not strict under the emperor, and let a few adults see the joke." Please also have a lot of adults, forgive me. ”
A white-bearded nobleman smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Mr. Anthony's command is all straightforward and bold warriors, who are originally different from ordinary people, understandable, understandable." Hahaha! ”
Praise, like manners, was a compulsory course for aristocrats. Even a dirty sow can be praised by them to the sky. In response to Paul's offense and rudeness, the white-bearded aristocrat finally expressed his generosity and tolerance in front of Anthony.
As for what he really thought in his heart, only he knew.
Anthony nodded slightly, looking serious and focused. Several elderly nobles and gentlemen saw that he was gentle and polite, and their attitude was respectful, and their hearts couldn't help but have a good impression of this young man.
The nobles were amazed by the warriors' achievements, and Anthony said that it was the accurate and meticulous information of the nobles; The old men praised the warriors for their bravery, and Anthony said that it was because of the nobles and their guards sitting in the rear, stabilizing the morale of the army and giving the soldiers no worries......
After a few words, the atmosphere between the two sides became more and more harmonious, and there was a sense of rare bosom friends and hating to see each other.
The Caton Sword Saint stretched out his finger and gently stabbed Princess Yalina beside him, and whispered in a strange tone: "I really didn't see it before, your Anthony's kung fu of thinking one thing in his heart and saying one thing in his mouth is not much better than those hypocritical nobles." You should be careful in the future, but don't be foolish enough to let him be deceived. ”
Arinna's face was slightly red, and she gave him a blank look, "What do you call my Anthony?" ”
Then he turned his gaze to the young man over there, and the appreciation and admiration in his eyes could be felt even by the blind.
"Still, I believe him!"
What else can Caton say? I had to roll my eyes.
At this moment, Tang Feng walked over with a soldier and a bandit.
"Your Highness Princess, this is the leader of this group of bandits. He said he had very important news for us. ”
