Chapter 16: Cleaning the Battlefield

The dazzling light destroyed the sight of Lisheng and his remaining soldiers, leaving them blind, which was also a very important part of the offensive process designed by Cheng Lei. Then Cheng Lei ordered the firing of flares, and after a few flares rose to the sky, the dilapidated temple and the camp of the Fangs Army were illuminated inside and out like daylight.

The previous wave of attacks organized by Lisheng must be said to be very ferocious, but the portable radar under Cheng Lei had already detected their movements, and everyone withdrew to a safe range. When the Fangs stopped attacking and half of their forces attacked the dirt slopes, several powerful flashbangs became the last straw that overwhelmed the big camel of the Fangs.

When the flare was rising, Lisheng's eyes were still blank. Two Fangs soldiers, unaffected by the flashbangs, stepped forward and raised Lisheng's arms.

"The second leader, the people sent out and most of the people who are still here have fallen under the demon spell of those people, and they can't see it. Let's go quickly, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! One of the soldiers said eagerly.

Although Li Sheng can't see with his eyes now, he is still very unconvinced: "Leave me alone, pick up a weapon and kill one by one, I don't believe they are really monsters!" ”

Another soldier said, "Second Leader, everyone else who can be seen has run away, and if it weren't for the beheading squad receiving your many favors, the two of us would have run away a long time ago." Come with us! ”

"They have come down from the hillside, you take the second leader and leave quickly, I am here to cover you!" The soldier who had spoken before saw that the situation was critical, and he could not tolerate the slightest hesitation, so he said this, and then he hid on the side of the broken wall.

Another soldier stumbled towards the temple wall behind him, and the other escapees all ran over the wall, and if they went out of the gate on horseback at this time, they would undoubtedly be killing themselves.

The soldier who was left behind watched the two of them climb out of the wall under the dazzling flares, and then turned around to carefully observe the situation on Cheng Lei's side. A total of twelve people came down from the dirt slope, all of them wearing very heavy clothes, this style of clothing this kind of fanged soldiers had never seen in the mercenary market or various city-states, so they were a little surprised.

The soldiers on the other side did not kill the fangs who were wailing on the ground after being affected by the flashbang one by one, as they imagined, but tied them up one by one. They left six soldiers there to tie people up, and the other six quickly ran towards the temple.

The soldiers who had left behind them immediately ran towards the wall behind them, and by this time some of the less affected soldiers in the temple had regained their sight and fled with him. The morale of the army is completely weakened, and there is not even a person who dares to shoot, and they are afraid of provoking the group of Hades who can use demon magic on the other side.

Such a strong mercenary army that could rank in the top ten in the Scorching Sun Federation mercenary market was completely defeated by the Lion King Squadron in just one hour, making Cheng Lei and his special forces completely feel the power of modern technology.

Twenty-one soldiers of the Fangs were captured, all crouched by the walls outside the temple. At this moment they saw a thin young officer followed by two equally young officers walking towards them. However, the three men did not speak to them, but strode into the temple.

In the Buddhist hall, Cheng Lei silently stared at the Buddha statue covered with spider webs, and the Buddha in this world was similar to the Buddha statue in the previous world. Although Cheng Lei is an atheist, he still prefers to believe that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded, and he has a great interest in Buddhist culture.

After worshipping the Buddha statue, Cheng Lei instructed the captain of the War Eagle squad behind him: "Let the instructors pay close attention to the situation in the city, and we will pack up our things here and go back." ”

"Yes!" Yin Kaicheng took the order and went.

"Pan Jin, you take people to gather their horses, guns and other supplies, and prepare to take them away. Let Shao Qian interrogate the captives to see if there are anyone who can use them, and if not, send them all to Duke Dozan for processing. ”

"Yes!" Pan Jin revealed a sense of joy after the victory, and also turned away. This guy has always been a belligerent, and today's fight has made him addicted.

However, Cheng Lei feels that after today's battle, there may be some pride and complacency in the Lion King squadron, which is absolutely unacceptable. The armed forces and equipment in this world are just the same as in the early 20th century on the earth, but they are special forces in the 21st century, with advanced weapons and equipment and combat skills that are ahead of the curve for a century.

But Cheng Lei knew that morale still had to be boosted, so he didn't say these words to anyone, but put them in his stomach. He lit a cigarette and slowly felt the smell of tobacco, the two forces in Silver Tower City were probably alarmed by now, and their tanma might be nearby.

Cheng Lei didn't move those thoughts of exploring horses, and after this battle, let the two forces see the strength of the Lion King squadron. At that time, no matter who wins on both sides, it is impossible to underestimate the Lion King squadron, so that you can bargain with those people and raise conditions.

Now Cheng Lei's most urgent thing is to build a base, because without a base, they are like rootless duckweed. Silver Tower City said that it was impossible to become theirs, this was the result of their meeting to study and analyze the current situation in Silver Tower City.

Although Silver Tower City is now a competition between two forces, and the war is about to break out, I am afraid that this battle here tonight will become the fuse of the Battle of Silver Tower City. However, if Cheng Lei and the others show that they have thoughts of having a bad idea for Silver Tower City, I am afraid that at that time, whether it is the two sides of the competition or the high-level leaders of the Scorching Sun Federation, they will join forces to kill these outsiders first.

There are only about fifty people in the Lion King squadron, and a hundred people can't beat you, what about five hundred? What about a thousand? In the face of absolute numerical superiority, no matter how advanced the weaponry is, it is only a flash in the pan. So now Cheng Lei is very eager to have a base, and then slowly develop his own power, and when they become a behemoth, then they don't have to worry about so much.

I don't know how today's battle will affect the battle situation in Yinta City, Cheng Lei is still thinking about it, but he firmly believes that if the city learns the exact news, there will inevitably be another negotiation of verbal swords. It's just that I can't predict the outcome of the negotiation, praise the old fox, I, Cheng Lei, live up to my expectations, presumably you won't disappoint me, right?

The corners of Cheng Lei's mouth flashed with a smile, this battle was equivalent to breaking an arm of Baili's group. Although these people are mercenaries and will not fight to the death like the soldiers under Bairi, their combat effectiveness is stronger than Bairi's men, so that the two can be considered to be five or five.

"It was reported that the supplies and firearms had been counted and the wagons had been loaded, and all the war horses in the stables had been registered. Among the captives were two soldiers who were good at raising horses and three soldiers who were good at operating the small cannons they used. "Shao Qian, the leader of the Night Lion Squad, summarized all the information before reporting to Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei's train of thought was interrupted, but he didn't have any expression, took a puff of cigarette and said, "These people are all left, and a few soldiers who are good at riding horses are left." Tell them that they will have money every month, and they can go home to visit relatives every other time...... Let's set 10 silver coins a month! ”

"As for the others, just leave it to Duke Dozan when you return to the city. There were also horses, and forty better ones were left, and the rest were sold to the Duke of Dozan. We don't need money, as long as Duke Duozan makes us a sufficient number of bullets! ”

"Yes, I'll go out and make arrangements!" Shao Qian gave a military salute and went out.

When Hu Yang, who was squatting in the corner of the temple wall, heard the imposing-looking officer say that he would leave them to raise horses, his heart was filled with boundless waves, was it a blessing or a curse? What is the real purpose of these people to leave themselves, is it really to raise horses? But there was nothing else in him that they could use, so he believed it.

After an hour of fighting, in Hu Yang's heart, these soldiers on the other side were simply killing gods from hell. Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Poison Fang Army was very strong in the mercenary market, but it was not the opponent of these evil stars at all, and there was not much resistance at all.

At most, a counterattack was carried out under the command of Lisheng, but nothing was achieved, and most of the personnel who participated in the counterattack were captured here. And the second leader Li Sheng, who claimed to be one of the best marksmen in the mercenary world, left their soldiers behind and fled.

Now the man who appeared to be the leader of this army said that he should stay and help them raise their horses, ten silver coins a month. Ten silver coins, now the meat on the market is expensive and cheap, a pound of pork can buy ten pounds of fine grain, and a pound of fine grain is worth two pounds of coarse grain.

Ten silver coins are three hundred copper coins, which can buy one hundred and fifty catties of two pork, or 1,500 catties of fine grain, or 3,000 catties of coarse grain. This is a great asset to the inhabitants of the city-states on the edge of the desert, which have been in a state of flux in recent years.

Hu Yang's home is in Silverstone City, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from Yinta City, and his ancestors have been herdsmen herding horses and sheep outside Silverstone City for generations. Just three years ago, he ate the last dead sheep because there was too little water and grass, and he was forced to join the Poison Fang Army in order to feed himself, just to feed his wife and children for that pitiful military salary.

The Poison Fang Army gave him a monthly salary of two silver coins, which made him very content, and he could buy six hundred catties of coarse grain, and his wife and half-grown son could barely make ends meet. But now the heroic officer in front of him opened his mouth to ten silver coins a month, which made him a little excited.

He stretched out his foot and kicked his companion Wang Danian, who was still squatting on the ground without saying a word, and couldn't kick a fart with three feet, so that he could get up and squeak. How do you know that Wang Danian is not obedient, or squatting on the ground honestly, making Hu Yang cry and laugh.

Of course, Hu Yang agreed to Shao Qian's request, for them mercenaries, where to eat is not to eat! It's just that there is a difference between being full and not being full, and now that there is an opportunity to eat enough and eat well, how can Populus euphratica not seize it?
