Chapter 371: Heavy Snow Drifts and Kills the Quartet (7)
Ling Yi listened to Gundam Clive's willingness to trade his life for the safety of his soldiers, and he felt very uncomfortable.
But this is the battlefield, and now letting the tiger return to the mountain will only attract more jackals, Ling Yi did not open his mouth to agree, in this way, Ling Yi felt very cruel, he didn't know how to face such a situation!
Just when Ling Yi hesitated, Ding Lifeng opened his mouth behind him: "Ci is not in charge of the army, you should understand that the mercy to the enemy here is cruelty to yourself, your relatives, and your compatriots, when they come back with their weapons wielded again, can you still resist their attacks?"
"Then what should I do? I can't do anything to kill them, they've already put down their weapons, I don't know what to do!" Ling Yi really can't make a decision, as two hostile sides, the only way to stop the war is to scare the opponent, and even wipe out their living force, but as a person, a person with emotions, Ling Yi can't do it.
Ding Lifeng nodded slightly: "It is already rare for you to face killing and the last benevolence, but war is war, and we must ensure the safety of the country!"
Ling Yi asked suspiciously: "Ensuring national security does not mean endless killing? This is not in line with my original intention of joining the army, when I joined the army, it was for protection, not killing!"
"Okay, very good!" Ding Lifeng praised and said: "Your idea is also the idea of many soldiers, so there are a lot of ways to deal with prisoners in Dongsheng, not all of them are massacres, for the enemy who has committed unforgivable sins, we are killed; the remaining ones can be taken as slaves to atone for their sins; of course, if the enemy is willing to pay for ransom, we don't mind if the enemy spends money! So your concerns do not exist, and the question now is, is your decision to release or take prisoners?"
Ling Yi was anxious for a while, in the face of the life and death of so many people, he forgot Dongsheng's treatment of the captives, and now after Ding Lifeng's reminder, he instantly understood.
Ling Yi turned to Gundam Clive and said: "It is impossible to release people, it seems that we can only wait for the Northern Wilderness Empire to come to ransom the prisoners, if they don't come for half a month, I will sell these people to those big families and farms as slaves!"
Although he was unwilling, Gundam Clive nodded helplessly, as the defeated side, he was not qualified to make conditions!
Gouda Clive sighed, that's all he can do, it's better to be alive than to die here!
Turning around, Gundam Clive said to his soldiers, "Live well!"
After speaking, Gouda Clive slowly fell to the ground, he did not intercede for himself, but cut himself off, he knew that everything he did to Dongsheng even if he was alive now, when he arrived in Dongsheng's territory, he would be judged by Dongsheng, and what was waiting for him could be a more painful life.
Ling Yi didn't know what to say, from his own point of view, Gouda Clive was a criminal of aggression and a demon who slaughtered his compatriots, but from another perspective, he was a great general, a general worthy of the respect of his soldiers!
Ding Lifeng knew what Ling Yi was thinking, and stepped forward and said: "This is the belonging of a soldier, if it were me, I would also give my life for the soldiers, and I don't want to be captured, suicide is the ultimate belonging." You may say it's cruel, but it's the greatest thing to do than to mutiny!"
Ling Yi listened to these words and understood in his heart, but he was still a little confused, but Zou Peng interrupted the conversation between the two.
I saw Zou Peng hand over the captured soldiers of the Northern Wilderness to the Bingzhou cavalry in Beiwei Pass, so he came to Ding Lifeng and Ling Yi and said: "The defenders of Beiwei Pass have just reported that Han Ce can't be blessed in the city of the Far East, and the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness Empire has attacked Yanjing Pass, and now Han Ce's situation is extremely unfavorable, and Yanjing Pass has failed to rescue him many times!"
"The whole team, get ready to go!" Ding Lifeng hurriedly ordered.
Then the two discussed for a while, ready to go to support non-stop.
Now that Tongshan and Beiwei Pass have successfully lifted the siege, as long as the Yanjing checkpoint can also repel the enemy army in the Northern Wilderness, this crisis will be over, but the Yanjing checkpoint lacks the garrison of Han Ce's army, and he is also concerned about Han Ce's safety, so he can't repel the enemy army at all, but is tied up!
Everyone discussed for a while, and the solution they came up with was to go to support the Yanjing checkpoint first, and then wait for the opportunity to rescue Han Ce.
Compared with Han Ce, the Yanjing checkpoint is more important, it's not that Ding Lifeng doesn't want to deal with Han Ce, but if they rush directly to the city of the extreme east, they may also become the same fate as Han Ce, and their 100,000 troops will travel a long distance to directly face the more than 200,000 troops in the city of the extreme east, and the 100,000 troops who attack the Yanjing Pass, that is, to die.
So the most important thing now is to save Yanjing Pass, and then give Han Ce a way to retreat, the enemy is too strong and can only retreat!
After the plan was made, the 100,000-strong army advanced at full speed, and it took a day and a half to finally reach the outside of the Yanjing checkpoint.
"We only have half a day, and now it has been eight days since Han Ce was besieged, according to Ling Yi's previous estimate, Han Ce only has five days of food at most, and I don't know if he can hold on, from here to the city of the extreme east, it will take two days to move forward at full speed, that is to say, Han Ce has to hold on for at least two days!" Ding Lifeng marked Han Ce's location while looking at the map.
Zou Peng took over: "I am going to go directly to the rear to attack the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness, if the defenders of Yanjing Pass cooperate properly, adding up to about 150,000 troops, the battle should be resolved quickly!"
Ding Lifeng replied approvingly: "You are right, as long as we attack from the front and back, we will be able to solve the battle quickly, the most important thing is that we are only repelling the enemy army, not completely annihilating the enemy army, it should not be difficult to say!"
Zou Peng looked up at the sky and said: "There is no problem with the battle, the only thing that is not favorable to us now is this weather, it has been gloomy for two consecutive days, today there is suddenly no wind, and the temperature is also a lot lower, I estimate that the snow will fall!"
Ding Lifeng replied: "In this weather, if it snows, it will definitely be goose feather snow, and in two days, the grassland in the extreme east will be covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, which will not be conducive to our march!"
"By the way, Tiangong is not beautiful, you can only take one step at a time, by the way, while sending someone to Yanjing Pass to send a letter, let the supplies be light and simple, and bring more salt!"
Zou Peng immediately went to arrange according to Ding Lifeng's arrangement, at least to solve Yanjing Pass before the heavy snow fell.
Arriving at the predetermined position, as soon as the planned hour arrived, Ding Lifeng and Zou Peng led 100,000 cavalry to directly attack the rear of the Northern Wilderness cavalry.
With a period of fighting, the Yanjing checkpoint also opened the city to meet the enemy, and for a time formed a flanking attack on the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness.
Kill all the way out, Lingyi and they are also killed, and the halberd is invincible.
Ling Yi didn't lead the ruffian to the front too much, because the previous intelligence showed that there were martial saint powerhouses in this army in the Northern Wilderness.
Facing the Martial Saint twice in a row, although Ling Yi achieved unexpected results and did not cause too much damage to himself, it does not mean that Ling Yi is not afraid of the Martial Saint.
Even if he has the power of thunder and lightning, Ling Yi does not have much expectations, because the power of thunder and lightning is only the last one, and before the time of life and death, the means of signing up are still relatively safe.
Besides, the first two times were to take advantage of his unpreparedness to achieve results, and now both sides are in a non-stop battle, and the enemy's martial saint will not give himself a chance to attack him!
However, Ling Yi was a little relieved that Ding Lifeng said that it had passed, and Yanjing City also had its own Martial Saint, since the Northern Wilderness could not attack Yanjing City for a long time, the Martial Saint who wanted to come to Yanjing City had already arrived here, and the Martial Saint would be handed over to the Martial Saint to deal with!
The battle followed the cavalry attack in the checkpoint, and the Northern Wilderness cavalry gradually dispersed, and after more than an hour, both sides had losses, and the Northern Wilderness cavalry had only a way to retreat.
The battle continued, and the sky finally slowly fell snowflakes, which were sparse at first, but in just a few breaths, the sky was covered with heavy snow, blurring the vision, and the whole grassland became like a poetry and painting, but the blood spraying in the sky destroyed this beautiful picture.
The earth under heavy snow should be white, and the air should be clear with snowflakes.
But at this time, there was blood and stumps everywhere, blood filled the entire space, and the sound of killing filled the vast grassland.
Such a battle, at least heavy snow for a month, can hide the traces of the battle, and next spring, the blood and water will melt away, and the verdant and quiet of this grassland will be restored!
In such a battle, the ruffian qu is like a sharp knife, there is no obstacle everywhere he goes, even if he meets the martial arts powerhouse of the Northern Wilderness, he can't stop the ruffian qu from moving forward.
This kind of fight is like a human flesh cutting machine, and the ruffian song once again let the soldiers of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou witness their strength.
After fighting for a while, Ling Yi saw that in the Northern Wilderness Army, close to his side, there was a group of well-equipped soldiers, who were surrounding a man wearing the armor of a general, breaking through to the east.
Ling Yi knew at a glance that it was the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness who was going to escape, and immediately launched a beheading operation with the brother of the ruffian, as long as the commander died, the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness would definitely become a plate of loose sand.
Ling Yi and they rushed forward and backwards, and with just a few impacts, they beheaded the generals who were about to flee from the Northern Wilderness. Until the end of the battle, the Martial Saint that Ling Yi was worried about did not appear, thinking about it, it should be that the Martial Saints of both sides restrain each other and will not interfere in the affairs of the army's war.
After solving the battle, Ding Lifeng and his party did not dare to stay, changed their mounts with the defenders of the Yanjing checkpoint, fed the mounts with concentrate feed, borrowed 20,000 cavalry, supplemented their vacancies, brought enough supplies, and prepared for the cold, a total of 110,000 cavalry marched at full speed towards the city of the extreme east.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the goose-featherlike snowflakes are constantly falling, Ling Yi looked at the grassland gradually covered by snow, which reminded him of the snow on Shenwu Mountain, where the snow is whiter than here, but it is not as cold as here, there are the footprints and laughter of his sister, there are ten directions entrenched above his head, and there is a loving uncle in the majesty.
At this moment, Ling Yi misses a lot!
However, his mount continued to move forward, and there was no time to stop to reminisce and sigh!
