Chapter 144: Losing streak, border! (5,000 words!) )
The team of six hundred state soldiers was frightened.
Seeing that the battle had begun, they immediately hurried over.
Who would have thought that before they could reach the place, the battle on this side would be over.
Their men were slaughtered and defeated!
It was a team of 500 state soldiers, 200 cavalry, 300 foot soldiers, and half of them were killed back and forth by a hundred cavalry!
How terrifying?
Their men were only a hundred more than the 500 state soldiers...... In terms of strength, it is not much stronger than the team of 500 state soldiers, and for a while, they are not advancing, nor are they retreating!
"Boom—"
But at this moment, Deng Shihu and his party moved, and the entire cavalry quickly rushed towards this team of six hundred state soldiers!
"Cavalry Charge! Shieldhand...... Archer...... Crossbowman...... Get ready! ”
In a panic in his heart, the leader of the 600 state soldiers had to hurriedly shout.
Offensive!
Only attack!
At this time, you must not retreat!
Otherwise, they will only have the power to be killed!
"Boom—"
This time, the cavalry battalion led by Deng Shihu did not plan to shoot arrows around the other party again, but rushed directly towards the other party's cavalry, with a coldness in his eyes.
Five hundred meters, the real impact, only twenty or thirty seconds!
And the opposing cavalry is also rushing!
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two sides bumped together!
"Bell—"
"Poof—poof—"
Limbs flying!
Deng Shihu's side passed through this cavalry completely, leaving behind a corpse.
Fifty mid-level horse thieves are the leader, plus the horses of the entire team are all intermediate-level war horses, and the average cavalry is not their opponent at all!
There is no stop.
Deng Shihu's side continued to rush towards the foot soldiers not far away.
It's also a blink of an eye.
"Poof! Burst! ”
Without waiting for the high-ranking members of this team to give orders, they were shot one by one, and the entire team was scattered in an instant.
"Kill!"
Deng Shihu roared.
The long cleaver was placed on one side, and where it passed, amputated limbs flew up, and no soldier could resist it.
This is the impact force of the intermediate war horse, one after another, one knife after another, even if the high-level martial arts figures, or even more powerful figures, face such a formation, they dare not say that they can block it, they can only avoid the edge.
There is only a dead end that cannot be avoided.
One rush!
Eighty or ninety people died!
Two-punch!
Seventy or eighty people died!
Three-punch!
Sixty or seventy people died!
The whole team is completely broken!
Flee and flee, surrender and surrender!
At this time...... In this state soldier team, those cavalry who rushed out at the beginning only organized their ranks in the distance, and when they saw this scene, they were shocked one by one.
They just put the team together...... The enemy's cavalry had already killed the rest of them, killing and wounding nearly half of them!
At this time, you can see the gap between the elite cavalry and the ordinary cavalry!
"Run! Run now! ”
"The strength of this cavalry is too strong! We are not opponents! ”
"If we don't run away, once we let them free our hands, we won't be able to escape, their horses are all good horses, and our horses are not as fast as each other!"
The cavalry panicked one by one.
The next moment, they rode their horses, turned and fled.
Those foot soldiers who were rushed to the ground had no choice, most of them chose to surrender, and most of the people who fled far away were shot one by one by the marksmen in Deng Shihu's team, even if the people were one hundred and fifty meters away, they did not escape!
Yes, Zheng An, Qian Xiaoer and the other three senior hunters are also in this team.
It was precisely because they shot the high-ranking of the two teams in advance that Deng Shihu's cavalry battalion was able to break the two teams so smoothly!
"Drive!"
"Stepping on ......"
At this time, Li Yi rushed over with Li Ling.
"Emperor Qi, Deng Shihu is fortunate not to be dishonored!"
Deng Shihu dismounted, saluted on one knee, and said excitedly.
It's so exciting!
It's too much fun!
It turned out that when he was a horse thief, he would never have imagined that there would be such a day!
1,100 state soldiers, let him lead a hundred people to a big crush!
In less than two quarters of an hour, half of the enemy was killed, but there was not much damage to himself, which can be described as a super victory!
"You have meritorious service in this battle, what are the casualties of our army?"
Li Yi nodded slightly.
After saying that, he immediately dismounted and walked quickly towards the wounded soldier who was helped over.
On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes, even if they are as strong as Deng Shihu and his party, there will inevitably be casualties.
Otherwise, to fight a war is to fight a man, to kill a thousand enemies, and to lose eight hundred.
Fortunately, Li Yi attaches great importance to everyone's fatal parts, and most of them are injured...... However, two people still died, and several others lost their arms and legs...... The impact of the cavalry was too great, and it hurt not only the enemy, but also themselves.
Seeing the two dead subordinates, Li Yi's mood was slightly heavy.
Although, as more and more battles are fought, there are more and more such things sooner or later, and he has been prepared in his heart, but this time, this kind of thing happened, and his heart is still a little uncomfortable.
He immediately applied instant healing to the wounded soldiers.
These people are very credible men, and there is no problem with using instant healing.
Those who had broken arms and legs, Li Yi asked people to find those broken arms and legs, identify them one by one, and after they were indeed correct, they would be treated instantly.
However, the two dead soldiers could no longer be saved.
A beginner, an intermediate.
Li Yi asked them to take their bodies with them.
Seeing the corpses of these two people, Deng Shihu's expression was also gloomy, and he walked up to Li Yi and said that he didn't take good care of his brother, Li Yi waved his hand and said that it was none of his business.
One hundred battles against one thousand, killing as many as half of the enemy, only injuring a dozen people and killing two people, this is already a super victory, Deng Shihu has no merit.
"Li Da is in charge, how's that?"
Qin Jiu and Qin Thirteen wanted to protect Qin Wan, and they didn't go over, and when they saw Li Yi coming back, they all greeted him and asked.
Because of the distance, they only saw the defeat of the two groups of state soldiers, but they did not know the specific battle situation.
"The two state troops were defeated, we were wounded a dozen people, and two brothers died."
Li Yi sighed and said.
"What?"
Qin Jiu and Qin Thirteen's bodies were shocked, and they said with shocked expressions.
Previously, when Deng Shihu reported the enemy's situation, they were also present, but they knew that these two groups of state soldiers, one group of 500 people, and the other group of 600 people.
Looking at it from a distance, most of these data can be seen.
Deng Shihu led a hundred cavalry to attack, and they also knew it, but they didn't expect that there would only be such a small damage!
In other words, with such a small injury, why do you still look like you are sighing and sighing? We thought we had a lot of losses! This is...... What mentality?
Qin Shisan's constipated expression was incomprehensible in his heart.
Could it be because two people died and more than a dozen people were injured?
But isn't war about death?
Defeated the enemy Qianyi, he only killed two people and injured a dozen people, what is there to be dissatisfied?
"Master Li, please mourn!"
After being silent for a long time, Qin Shisan could only spit out these few words.
However, Li Yi also nodded.
Then, Li Yi looked up.
At this time, the captives were gathered and the news came to report.
"Your Majesty, all the captives have been gathered, a total of three hundred and eighty-nine people."
1,100 people, except for the more than 100 who escaped, there are only so many people left!
The damage can be seen to be terrible!
"Your Majesty, what do we do with these captives?" At this time, one person asked.
Qin Jiu and Qin Thirteen immediately became nervous.
They were afraid that Li Yi would move the idea of taking prisoners again, and at this time, they were still being chased and killed, and there was really no time to take prisoners...... Even, if they delay here for a while, a large number of state soldiers may surround them again.
Now, the most correct thing for them to do is to quickly sort out what they are looking for and immediately set off towards Baiyue.
This place is far away from Baiyue, and there are only more than 20 miles left.
If it's fast, it only takes about half an hour.
As long as they go out of the territory of Dashang, their situation will be much better.
"It's better to ...... Kill it...... Stay here, sooner or later it will be our enemy...... If we are co-opted by the surrounding team, we may immediately become our enemy......"
Seeing that Li Yi was thinking, Qin Shisan hesitated.
"I'll go over and have a look!"
Li Yi took a deep breath and spoke.
With that, he rode over.
This time, Qin Wan, Qin Jiu, and Qin Thirteen also followed.
Captives outside the herd.
Looking at the numb, nervous, scared, living faces......
Li Yi's expression was calm.
"Our strength, you have seen, if you choose to follow me, soon, you will also have such strength, I will take you to expand the territory, make achievements, and worship the generals...... If you are willing to follow me, go ten steps forward, and if you are not willing to follow me, I will not kill you, and when we are gone, you can go away on your own!" ”
For a moment, Li Yi looked at the people in front of him and said slowly.
Hearing Li Yi's words, the group of captives instantly became in an uproar, one by one in disbelief.
Li Yi saw that the eyes of many captives lit up.
"General, are you really willing to let us go?"
"General, we follow you, can we really have that kind of strength? Can you really take us to the throne? ”
Some of the captives couldn't help but say.
"Feng Hou worships the general, it's just a trivial matter, okay, you choose to stay here and continue to be a small soldier, I don't know when Hou dies on the battlefield, or follow me, have stronger strength, Feng Hou Bai General, I will give you sixty numbers of time, you choose well."
Li Yi said lightly.
Immediately, a personal guard beside Li Yi began to report the number.
Sixty counts passed, and about a hundred people came out, and more than two hundred remained in place.
"Since you choose to follow me, you must not betray, wait a while, you will choose a horse in each of our teams, and those who can't ride a horse will ride with others......" Li Yi looked at those who came out and nodded slightly.
These people don't necessarily follow him sincerely, and even most of them don't, many people just want to live, afraid that staying where they are is a dead end, but as long as these people go with him, he will have enough time to subdue these people.
Li Yi walked over to the captives who had remained where they were.
"I will let you go, but I hope you will remember one sentence, those who fight against my big cadres and soldiers, surrender and do not kill."
Li Yi said calmly.
Qin Shisan was originally a little hesitant to persuade Li Yi to kill these people, but when he heard Li Yi's words, his expression was a little dazed, what does this mean?
Qin Jiu was thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.
Qin Wan's eyes lit up.
Originally, she was also inclined to Li Yi to kill these captives...... In fact, she likes Li Yi's benevolence to all living beings, but she knows what to do is beneficial to Li Yi, and she can't help but think about Li Yi, however, with Li Yi's words, she instantly thought of another direction of thinking.
These people can't be killed!
Different from ordinary green forest forces!
Li Yi is the one who wants to open up a new dynasty!
These people are captives, if Li Yi kills these people, once this matter spreads, Li Yi's reputation will be completely ruined!
In the future, who will fight against Li Yi's men again, and who will dare to surrender? It must be fought to the death!
On the contrary, Li Yi let these people go, and then spread the message that he would fight against the big cadres and soldiers and surrender without killing...... If the soldiers of Dashang fight against Li Yi's men again, they may have to lose three points of courage first, and it is not impossible to surrender immediately if they are slightly defeated!
Therefore, Li Yi let go of these people, which seems to increase the possible risk...... In the long run, it is a very advantageous thing!
She believes...... Li Yi let go of these people, and he really gave birth to a trace of mercy!
But at this moment, Li Yi thought of a way to get the best of both worlds!
"Is the general really willing to let me go?"
"Don't worry, the general, when I go back, I will erect a monument to the general's immortality......"
Those prisoners who didn't move in place, when they heard Li Yi's words, they were excited one by one, many people said it well, but I don't know how much it is true or false.
"Alright, let's go!"
Li Yi said lightly.
And the captives ran away.
After a while, these captives ran two or three hundred meters away, and Li Yi and his party still did not move.
At this time, some of the captives who chose to follow Li Yi were also a little uneasy, and some of them had regretful looks on their faces.
"General, we ...... Can I still leave ......?"
A man asked boldly.
Immediately, many people looked forward to looking at Li Yi.
"Are you going to regret it?" Li Yi said lightly.
"Just now, I have already given you a chance, since you have chosen to follow me, you are my men, betrayers, there is only one way to die." Li Yi looked at that person and said calmly.
"Don't dare, don't dare ......" The man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted.
The others also shrunk their necks and didn't dare to speak again.
Li Yi turned around and returned with these people.
In fact, Li Yi did this for a reason.
On the one hand, the reason is not mentioned as Qin Wan guessed.
The reason why many spineless and even slippery people are chosen to stay is precisely because of this character of these people.
Those people before, knowing that they chose to stay put, were likely to be killed by them, but they still stood there.
Either people who are very loyal to the Great Shang Dynasty are people who have all kinds of scruples, and even if they force the other party to follow, they are more likely to betray.
Everyone's situation is different, and their personalities are also different, previously, the people who surrendered on the racecourse, after their team left the racecourse, some people wanted to find a chance to leave, but they were discovered early by those prisoners who were loyal to Li Yi, and finally they were disposed of by Li Yi's order.
Since he chose to follow him, he could no longer choose betrayal, and although Li Yi was merciful to many captives, he was not pedantic.
The opportunity has been given to the other party, and since the other party chooses to give up, he can't be blamed.
Such a person is not easy to accept.
On the contrary, people who are a little smarter are more likely to be subdued.
Smart people, they know what kind of situations to make smart choices.
Or, some people really want to follow Li Yi, want to become stronger, and want to be a marquis and worship general, that's the best.
In short, later, after he uses the power of faith on these people, it will be easier for these people to increase their loyalty.
There are too many captives to bring, and the power of faith is limited, so Li Yi can only make a choice that is more beneficial to himself.
Qin Shisan opened his mouth, he still didn't understand why Li Yi did this.
At this time, Qin Jiu figured it out, he looked at Li Yi with some shock, he had never seen anything like that in their Qinglong Village, fortunately, his wisdom made it not difficult for him to figure out this kind of thing.
Without waiting for Qin Thirteen to speak, Qin Jiu grabbed Qin Thirteen, and then whispered the wisdom of this matter.
After listening, Qin Shisan was also dumbfounded.
I never thought that things between friends and enemies could be operated like this.
"This Li Yi is worthy of making such a big noise in a short period of time, and he is very powerful in grasping people's hearts......" Qin Jiu looked at the two corpses in Deng Shihu's team with a complicated expression.
On the battlefield, in order to reduce the drag, many forces are likely to ignore their seriously injured people, and if they don't give you a knife, it's good to let you die a happy death, how can they care about their own corpses? If you win, you have plenty of time to clean up the battlefield and burn your corpse so that you don't expose the corpse wilderness, which is already considered benevolence!
Li Yi, I just did it!
"You mean, he did it on purpose?" Qin Shisan also saw the two corpses, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Not necessarily intentionally, after all, he is a scholar...... At the age of thirteen, he was admitted to Xiucai, familiar with the scriptures and righteousness of the saints, and it is normal to have the benevolence of the saints. Qin Jiu shook his head and said.
"yes...... He was admitted to Xiucai at the age of thirteen, which is not something ordinary people can do...... However, his skills ...... How do you practice......" Qin Shisan said with a wry smile.
He thought of the scene on the horse farm, where Li Yi showed his martial arts.
Li Yi didn't show his skills many times, but that scene made him remember it deeply.
That hand was as good as he could have said.
Li Yi's force is probably no worse than him.
However, Li Yi was only sixteen years old, which was the time when he was extremely malleable.
"Perhaps, this is genius!" Qin Jiu sighed.
Genius, there are in this world.
Just like their eldest brother Qin Yi.
The age is not a few years older than them.
Born with divine powers.
Nine-star arrows, shooting masters, like killing pigs and sheep.
Soon, Li Yi and his team set off again.
After losing two state teams in a row, for a while, a big gap was vacated in front of them, and they began to rush towards that big gap.
More than twenty miles, compared to the whole team of horses, they are actually not far away.
Especially, when horsepower savings are not required.
It didn't take long for the border between Dashang and Baiyue to appear in front of them.
However, a contingent of state soldiers also appeared densely on the border, and at a glance, there were thousands of people.
