Chapter 462: Estimating the Combat Power Ratio
In just half an hour, the long snake formations on both sides were completely closed, encircling all the thirty-six streams of swarms inside.
Although the two sides of the Yellow Sand Ridge are hilly areas, some flat places can also be found, and now all the rogues on both sides are gathered in these two flat areas, led by a swarm of bees on one side, and led by the one-eyed dragon on the other side.
After this period of completely asymmetrical fighting, the swarm of people has been reduced by a third, and there are still about 1,500 people who are surrounded inside.
A swarm of people asked for surrender many times in various ways, but Sun Hu and the others resolutely refused to surrender, and the rogues had to huddle together to fight the trapped beasts.
It was impossible to break through, and there were a total of five hundred birds facing them on the periphery on both sides, and thousands of sharp bows and arrows ready to be fired.
In later generations, even hunters are not willing to use this thing to hunt, professional hunters who can't get a modern shotgun, and some shotguns are even more powerful than standard rifles.
But at that time, the bird gun was definitely a big killer, and after a round of launch, the lead pellets that hit the face would make people completely desperate, and they couldn't resist at all.
The rogues have always paid little attention to defense, and they do not have the same shields as regular troops, and their tactics are to attack by surprise and quickly leave the battlefield after grabbing property. They never dared to provoke regular troops who needed serious defense, nor did they understand that defense was a tactic.
The reason why they dared to be small and big this time was that they thought that the Han people were sheep, but this kick was not kicked to the iron plate, but into the rat trap, and they couldn't get out at all.
A few of the leaders in charge of the swarm began to shout and scream, meaning to negotiate.
Sun Hu and the others don't understand, even if they understand, they won't pay attention to it, since the adults don't let them stay alive, they still talk about a fart sentence, kill them all and pull them down!
It is true that they are here to negotiate, but they are not negotiating with the rogues, but with the rulers of the prairie.
However, due to the order of zero casualties, their offensive was temporarily halted.
The rogues do not have shields, but they also have bows and arrows, and not to mention the Tatar cavalry on the steppe, even the ordinary herdsmen are also many marksmen, if you are in a hurry to attack, there is no problem in eliminating these rogues, how to ensure zero casualties is nerve-wracking.
Now both sides are a stone's throw away, and they are also open bows to the outside.
"Your Highness, please accept their surrender, right?" A commander said to the situation.
They were below, and they could also know the battle above, and the Tatar cavalry also sent people up to watch the battle, but they didn't dare to join the battle group.
"Why?" Besides, he said with a cold face.
It doesn't matter if the battle is deadlocked, and besides, there is a trump card that has not been used, and the movement of the little finger is enough for them to choke.
His trump card is not Murong Yanran's master and apprentice, relying on the top master to fight a group of rogues is bullying, and such a shameless thing really can't be done. His trump card was that there were still a thousand strong bows and crossbows, and as long as five hundred were allocated to each side, after a few rounds of shooting, the rogues would be strewn all over the field, leaving at most a few dying wounded soldiers.
But he was not in a hurry, first, he wanted to see if Sun Hu and they could come up with a way with their own skills, after all, it was impossible to always be on the battlefield to command, and the battlefield command still had to be delegated, so he hadn't said a word about the war until now.
It's like a drama with an unexpected plot. He wanted to see how these Tatar generals behaved, and he thought it was funny to see them scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry, and looking like ants on a hot pot.
"Your Highness, we are protecting the safety of your people, your people are under our protection, we have the responsibility not to let His Highness's people be harmed, once those rogues do the battle of trapped beasts, your people will also suffer a lot of casualties, which makes us feel uneasy." A commander was in a hurry, so he stopped speaking Chinese and spoke Mongolian directly.
Besides, he could understand it, but he still waited for the interpreters to translate and pretended to think about it for a while.
"yes, how did I think about it, it should be your people who protect us." Besides, he pretended to have a sudden enlightenment.
"Exactly, exactly, so please accept their surrender to Your Highness, if you don't want to take care of the captives, you can leave them to us to take care of." The commander laughed.
"No, I'm not talking now, I'm talking about the beginning, when you know that these rogues are going to ambush us on both sides, why didn't you bring it up to protect us, but were completely indifferent, watching the excitement from the side? The guy said they were summoned by you, and I didn't believe it yet, but now I do. At first you didn't say anything, but now we have surrounded the rogues, but you are pleading for them, are you feeling sorry for your accomplices? Elder Qianfu, what is your purpose in doing this? ”
Moreover, after the interpretation and translation, several thousand-necked and centurions all turned pale like pig's liver.
"Your Highness, that guy's words are slander, absolutely slander, how can we collude with the rogues to deal with His Highness?" A commander hurriedly argued.
Indeed, this kind of thing cannot be admitted, even if the king of Altan knew that they colluded with a swarm of bees and flying on the grass, these rogues would also behead them.
The officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty also communicated with the bandits, but there must be a limit, and no cooperation can be carried out. The same is true here of Tatar.
Zhehan summoned these people just to let them fight with the 10,000 people who were in danger of losing both, and after the rogues grabbed the goods and left, he led 3,000 people to destroy the two bandits in the name of sharing the spoils.
As for the whereabouts of the Liukou's property after the destruction of the rogue, they can push it all out, anyway, they don't know where the rogues are hiding.
"Otherwise, I'll give you a chance, now that the rogues are trapped in a corner, your people in charge of protecting us should go and eradicate them all. Remember, I'm talking about eradication, not letting them go. Besides, he proposed.
"This ......," the three commanders looked at each other.
"We'll have to talk about it." The other commander was a little embarrassed.
"Is this still up to discussion, didn't you suppress bandits before? Did you say that you used to be one with these rogues? And sneered.
"Your Highness, you can't insult us like that?" A commander was annoyed and protested loudly.
"Bold, how can you talk to us adults, pay attention to your identity." Ji Chang stepped forward and shouted with his hand on the hilt of the knife.
He had just taken dozens of prisoners and returned, and he had been reprimanded, and he had nowhere to vent his grievances, but he really wanted to fight these Tatar cavalry again, and this time he would definitely not make a mistake, and promised not to leave a single person alive.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, our status is indeed much worse than yours, but you can't insult us like this, we are the Praetorian Guards under the Great Khan, and we will never have anything to do with any rogues." The other commander hurriedly stepped forward and said humbly.
"In this case, it should be your duty to suppress bandits, why did I ask you to take action, and you still have to study it? What to study? Besides, he laughed.
He also understood that he was slapping these Tatar cavalrymen in the face by killing them like this, just like the Tatar cavalry arrived in the interior, no matter how many bandits he killed, he would not be happy, but felt that his face was dull, this was the blood relationship of the nation. Bandits should be killed, but they can't be done by aliens, they have to do it themselves. It's like a parent hitting a child, you can hit yourself and don't allow others to touch it.
The three commanders are now Wang Ba drilling the stove pit, holding his breath and bringing the nest fire, and he can't vent yet.
In any case, besides, he is now a distinguished guest invited by the king of Alta, and his status is not only equal to that of the king of Alta, but also equal to the little prince Hannaji, which is really much higher than them, and they have to look up to the status of the situation.
Now that Jehan and Monno have fallen, the disparity in status is even greater, and they are about to lose even the right to speak in front of them.
What's even worse is that Batten has defected, if he doesn't defect, it would be better, at least enough, besides, Batten's rank and status are as high as Monnoy, but he doesn't have command.
"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to take it, it's because they're trapped now, and they don't have the will to fight, we will never fight with such a person, it will dishonor our reputation, we Tatars are all warriors, and we won't do such a lack of virtue as falling into a well." A commander found a plausible reason and said with a heartfelt voice.
"Oh, because of this, that's easy, I can lift the siege on them, and then you go and fight them, but there is a prerequisite, a rogue can't let go, let go of a rogue, and you will pay for it with your life." Moreover, after listening to the interpreter's translation, he sneered.
"What? Let's pay with our lives for the escapees? This is an even greater insult to us, I protest, seriously protest. The commander was furious, and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"This elder Qianfu, if you dare to pull out the sword, I will admire you." Besides, Sen Ran said.
He really made up his mind at this time, if this commander dared to draw his sword, he would not mind killing all the Tatar cavalry of 3,000 people, and he had never used a strong bow and crossbow to prevent these guys.
In addition, Murong Yanran did not move, these are all invincible killing weapons.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Baten stepped over and pressed the commander's hand.
The commander of the thousand also understood immediately, and his heart was also frightened, and he almost jumped into the pit that had been dug in the matter.
He had now understood that the Han people were definitely not incapable of fighting, at least not because the guards they brought were not what they imagined. It is said that these guards are all on the battlefield for the first time, but they have beaten the battle-hardened rogues to the ground, and one of them has the fate of being completely wiped out. This is no longer a matter of underestimating the enemy, but a joke with one's own life.
The three commanders were all settling accounts in their hearts at the moment. Although the number of rogues is smaller, but not all of them are on board, but less than two-thirds of them are used. The ratio of their combat power to the rogues at war was about the same, but they didn't say that they had completely annihilated each other.
In this case, if they and the others are fighting with all their might, what kind of situation will it be?
