Chapter 44: The Benevolence of the Healer
"Boss, I didn't see what happened to that man! It seems like it's just a fall......"
Xia Donghai, who was very calm just now, was restless at this time, because he couldn't determine whether he had shot the general, so he could only ask the old foreman next to him.
The old foreman clenched his long sword and glanced at him: "You can't see it, my old man can still see it, don't care so much, as long as he doesn't get on the horse again, he will die!" Quick, shout! Shout hard! ”
"Uh-oh." Xia Donghai was not ambiguous, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "The leader of the thieves has been shot by me!" The thieves surrender and don't die! ”
However, although he shouted very hard, everyone was in a mess, and no one paid attention to him at all, Xia Donghai was also anxious, and asked the old man: "They don't listen to me!" ”
The old man frowned, now the people on both sides have been inseparable, even if the two of them really killed the general of the army, I am afraid that they will not be able to hit the morale of the thieves.
Thinking of this, the old man shook his head and said, "Don't care, I'll show you, if you continue to shoot, shoot at those who are riding horses." ”
"Hmm!" Xia Donghai responded, and then continued to draw his bow and arrows, and entered the state again as soon as possible.
He has always been quick and cautious, but without interference, he really missed his arrows, and hit the enemy several times in a row.
Although there was no longer the fatal effect of the first blow, the cavalry that broke into the army was already in danger......
When the old man saw that it was time, he quickly opened his throat and shouted: "The leader of the thieves has been punished, surrender and avoid death!" ”
Originally, the morale of the successive defeats of the army was not high, there was not much food, and the wheel war was tired enough, and it was even more frightened to be attacked by the Qin people's "reinforcements" on both sides.
So under the old man's constant shouting, many invading troops began to surrender, and this also triggered a chain reaction, causing more and more invading troops to lose their armor...... Finally, a quarter of an hour later, none of the intruders continued to resist, and they were all really tired.
In fact, the situation on the Qin people's side is worse than that of the Chuang army, after all, the Chuang army has an advantage in terrain and equipment, plus it is a bandit for many years, and there are many casualties to the Qin people.
So much so that the old foreman counted the number of people and found that there were less than 800 people left in the 1,250-person grain transportation team, and the casualties were more than one-third!
You must know that this is an ancient time when the loss of more than one achievement was able to achieve a complete rout, and this casualty ratio is still in the Minfu army, which is unimaginable!
On the other side, there were nearly 600 prisoners, and the Qin people didn't know that there were about 1,000 people in total.
Moreover, Li Zicheng also took away a hundred personal guards, so not counting the opportunists who slipped away just now, the Qin people also eliminated nearly three hundred enemies, and the exchange ratio was 3:2.
After a simple bandage, the face of the tree was blue and said: "Old foreman, how can we transport grain and grass with such heavy casualties?" ”
The old foreman was also silent, although he had long expected that the loss this time would not be small, and even thought that he might be wiped out by the whole army.
But now the situation is not too great a loss to transport grain and grass, but how to ensure that you can transport grain and grass while watching these captives......
"Uncle Qiao, my lord, the kid just saw that most of the thieves don't have much food on them, and this time they probably came out to grab food. In that case, why don't we hire them with grain and give us carts? Xia Donghai suggested.
Qiao was about to laugh when he heard it, but he accidentally pulled the wound on his face, and could only praise with a strange expression that couldn't be bitterly smiling: "Xia Gongzi is smart, this method is too good!" ”
The old foreman looked at the dejected Chuang Jun, thought about it and nodded in agreement: "You can try, but we have to watch carefully." ”
"Hey!" The two responded with a fist hug, and then went to both sides to inform them of the matter. Naturally, there is no big problem on the Qin side, but there is a big problem on the side of the army.
As soon as Xia Donghai finished speaking, a small leader of the army scolded in the crowd:
"What? Let us work and get paid? Isn't that turning back again? Lao Tzu was pushing carts for people back then, how to build... After so many years of uprising, you still have to push carts for others? ”
A thin man next to him hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Brother Leopard, don't you say a few words, aren't they all captured?" If the court arrests you, do you dare not give you a cart? ”
The leopard's two copper bells glared at each other and said: "If the court is caught, you have to be appeased according to your grade, but the master has been the one who broke into the king's personal guard Xiaoqi, what are you doing, and you are worthy of a cart with me?" ”
Saying that, he raised his hand and was about to fight, but the people next to him hurriedly stepped forward to pull people, and this operation really attracted Xia Donghai.
Xia Donghai hurriedly brought someone forward with a sword and stopped: "What are you doing here?" Don't blame me for killing people without blinking an eye! ”
Although Xia Donghai is loyal, he has never killed an unarmed person, and even today is his first time on the battlefield......
But the way he was angry with his sword really frightened everyone, and even the leopard with a "master" was much more restrained, and he was still afraid of death when he looked at him.
Xia Donghai put away his sword at this time, and learned the reason from a few people next to him, and then pulled out his sword and shouted:
"That's it? This son tells you that even if your king is arrested, he has to come to push the cart! And I, Daqin, forbid private fights! ”
The leopard and the others looked at the angry appearance of this little boy, and they didn't dare to brush the tiger's whiskers, so they could only keep their heads down and be silent.
Just when Xia Donghai wanted to continue to ask them to push the cart, a few horsemen suddenly appeared on the hillside!
The old foreman hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, the enemy still has reinforcements, everyone gathers and closes up, ready to fight!" ”
The Qin people deserve to be a model of all the people being soldiers, and as soon as the old man's words fell, everyone had already assembled in the direction of the car array.
In just a few minutes, there was a group of stunned prisoners left in the same place, and they all wondered, did they still have reinforcements?
Among the captives who were standing here and not sitting or sitting, the thin man who had just been beaten asked in an unkind tone: "Wei Leopard, didn't you ever be a little flag?" Do we have any reinforcements? ”
Wei Bao also had no anger, and scratched his head: "Then how do I know, I am a small banner, not a general, and besides, I have been a substitute for a total of three days......
The thin man was speechless for a while, and just as he wanted to taunt him, he heard Wei Bao suddenly speak: "Look, those people are down!" ”
As he said, the cavalry on the hillside hesitated up and down for a while, and the Qin people were impatient to wait, and they finally came down.
However, the speed of these cavalry descent was obviously not fast, and it did not look like a charge at all, and even halfway through, one of the riders even tore a piece of cloth and shook it vigorously, shouting as he swayed:
"Don't fight, don't fight, we've surrendered! But please save us from the king! As he spoke, they threw their weapons on the ground, and if they hadn't been able to move immediately, they might have even taken off their armor.
The old foreman glanced at Xia Donghai: "It seems to be true, let them come over first." ”
Xia Donghai nodded and shouted, "The one at the front dismounted and came over!" ”
When the cavalry who took the lead heard this, his face was anxious, he really asked for help, who knows if King Chuang can hold it up if he walks slowly for a while!
The leader of the cavalry hurriedly responded: "We are waiting for a sincere surrender, and King Chuang is seriously ill, the situation is urgent, and I can't wait any longer, please ask your army to send someone who understands medical skills to save King Chuang!" ”
Now the old foreman didn't dare to believe it, and just wanted to discuss it with the big guy again, but Xia Donghai next to him stood up alone and saluted him:
"Elder Engineer, my family has been a doctor for generations, and this rider's face is the same as that of a patient's relatives, and let the boy go to see the thief chief first."
"East China Sea Kid! What if it's a plan? Aren't you going and never going back? The old foreman hurriedly persuaded him.
Xia Donghai saluted again: "The doctor is benevolent, and there is no delay in curing the disease and saving people, and he should be real!" ”
Then, without waiting for everyone's persuasion, he turned his head and headed towards the intruding horseman. The man who praised him for his cleverness just now couldn't help but be angry:
"You elm head! I'm not worried, I'm going with you! As he spoke, he hurriedly ran two steps to keep up with Xia Donghai's pace.
The old foreman looked at the backs of the two of them and didn't say anything good, but could only pray for them silently in his heart......
