Chapter 41: Surrender
"General, the results are out!" Guan Ying came to Liu Chen, who was sitting on the grass casually and taking a nap, and said with a fist bow, "In this battle, more than 900 enemy horsemen were annihilated, more than 700 people were captured, and more than 1,200 war horses were obtained!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Chen's face was neither happy nor sad, but asked rhetorically: "What is the loss of our army?" ”
As soon as these words came out, a trace of gloom flashed on the baby's face, and he said in a low voice: "Our army has lost more than 400 people and more than 200 people have been seriously injured. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
A trace of sadness flashed on Liu Chen's face, eight hundred knights, there were so many casualties, I only heard him say: "That is, now we still have more than two hundred knights, right?" What about those captives? Are there any adverse reactions? ”
Nodding, Guan Ying said: "Our knights are almost as good as these combat forces, the seven hundred captives have no weapons at the moment, all gathered in the low-lying place over there, two hundred crossbowmen are guarding, Luan Bu and Zhang Fei are also there, there is nothing at present." ”
"Hey!" Liu Chen sighed, although he won this battle, the cavalry he had finally formed was almost disabled, but fortunately, he got a lot of war horses this time, as long as he was given time, it would not be a problem to form a cavalry team of two thousand people.
"Go to Xiaolianggou, assist Meng Yi, solve Pan Feng and the hundreds of remnants, the soldiers want to surrender, accurate, but Pan Feng must die, after beheading Pan Feng, send his head to the cholera who is coming, and then the whole army will return to the foot of Qi Mountain." Liu Chen said to the baby.
"No!" Guan Ying answered, and didn't ask why, in his heart, Liu Chen's words were the truth, so he immediately took the war horse and rushed towards Xiaolianggou with a small team of cavalry.
Seeing Guan Ying leave, Liu Chen also got up, and then walked towards the low-lying land, where there were seven hundred captives.
"I've seen the general!" Liu Chen approached, and Luan Bu and Zhang Fei clasped their fists at the same time.
"I've seen the general!" And the two hundred crossbowmen here also shouted at the same time.
In the low-lying place, the more than 700 captives had already fallen asleep on the ground exhausted, and they were awakened by this shout at this moment, and their faces showed a look of panic, after all, they were captives, and if the other party wanted to kill them, it would be easy.
Liu Chen nodded at Luan Bu, Zhang Fei and these soldiers, and said, "Hard work brothers!" ”
"I am willing to die for the general!" There was a hint of fanaticism in the eyes of all the fighters.
Liu Chen pressed his palms weakly, all the soldiers were silent, Liu Chen also looked at the prisoners who had stood up and were a little panicked, only to hear him say: "I am the founder of the Han army, my name is Liu Chen, the two armies are fighting, the king is defeated, you are my prisoner, I can do whatever I want with you, but you can rest assured, I will never kill you." ”
Hearing Liu Chen's words, the tense hearts of all the captives also relaxed slightly.
Seeing the looks of these people in his eyes, he only heard Liu Chen say again: "You are soldiers, you are soldiers of Weihai County, I don't know what kind of mentality you have, watching our fathers and villagers being ravaged by the Dongying people, not only did you not stop or resist, but also united with the Dongying people to deal with us, these are all over, and I don't care anymore, after all, as a soldier, obeying orders is my duty!" ”
After a pause, Liu Chen continued: "Now I will give you two ways, one is to take off the armor on your body, go home, and don't join the army again in your life, especially don't fight against our Han army again, otherwise there will be a next time, you will not be spared, and the other is to put on the military uniform of our Han army, join our Han army, fight against the Dongying people, fight against ****, protect our fathers and villagers, you have a pillar of incense time to consider!" ”
Liu Chen said that, he didn't look at these captives, but turned around and left.
When Liu Chen said these words, many knights showed a look of shame on their faces, and a small number of people didn't know what they were thinking with expressionless faces, and soon, these people looked at each other and began to discuss.
Due to Liu Chen's explanation, in the face of the captives who had already been discussed, Luan Bu and Zhang Fei did not stop them, but at the same time asked all the soldiers to be vigilant.
A quarter of an hour later, a dozen people left, and with the first batch, soon there was a second batch, and when the time for a stick of incense came, of the seven hundred captives in this low-lying place, there were more than five hundred left, and two hundred chose to leave.
"It seems that you are all ready to join my Han army, very good, but to join the Han army, you must follow the military discipline of our Han army, one, burn and kill the looters! Second, rape and captives kill! Three, kill those who escape! Now, tell me, can you do it? I don't know when, Liu Chen came here again, only to hear him say loudly.
"Yes!" There was a lethargic sound from below.
Liu Chen's face was expressionless, and he said loudly: "I can't hear it, are you all women?" If it's a woman, go back, the Han army doesn't need warriors like women! ”
"Yes!" Five hundred people answered loudly at the same time, and there was a flash of fire in their eyes.
Nodding, Liu Chen pointed his hand, and then said: "This is like a gentleman, go over there, get your weapons, find your own war horse, the whole army is ready to set off immediately, the armor will temporarily wear your own, and when you reach Chengshan, I will give you the armor of the Han army!" ”
This next time, these five hundred knights who belonged to the Yu Han army did not dare to delay any longer, nor did they dare to leave at will, but consciously lined up and walked in the direction of Liu Chen's finger one by one.
Seeing this scene, Liu Chen was also relieved, although the five hundred cavalry were prisoners, but their combat effectiveness was not weak, if it weren't for this time they were too tired, this battle, whether the Han army could win or not had to say, Liu Chen now has only more than 200 Han cavalry in his hands, if you want to grow from a recruit to a qualified cavalry, it will take at least a month, and now you are still at war, there is not so much time, with the attachment of these five hundred knights, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
In two quarters of an hour, all the soldiers were ready, the corpses of the enemy who were killed in battle, Liu Chen had already ordered someone to dig a big pit to bury them all, as for the knights who died in the battle on the side of the Han army, Liu Chen let the remaining seven hundred knights and two hundred crossbowmen sit on a simple wooden cart, transport these bodies back to Qi Mountain, and cremate them collectively next to Qi Mountain, as for the two hundred wounded, Liu Chen asked the lightly wounded to take care of the seriously wounded, and marched slowly on horseback.
With Liu Chen's order, nine hundred intact warriors and two hundred green knights with different injuries slowly pulled out and marched in the direction of Qi Mountain!
