Chapter 350: Counterattack
sacrificing his private soldiers to encircle and suppress those mercenaries, Zhou Tian must have been reluctant at that time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But it is impossible to give up a large number of private soldiers to surround and kill those mercenaries, but Zhou Tian will definitely not mind sending his own men to hunt down those mercenaries. According to the situation at that time, in a way, it was impossible for Zhou Tian to leave all those mercenaries behind, but if he only wanted to leave some enemies, then there would definitely be no pressure.
As a result, when those mercenaries fled, Zhou Tian directly issued an order to chase and kill.
Facts have proved that although Zhou Tian's order at that time may not be correct, the results of his action did not disappoint him. Just when Zhou Tian gave an order to let the strong men under his command chase and kill those mercenaries, because those mercenaries did not have the courage to look back at the battle, when facing the attack of Zhou Tian's side, they could only be beaten passively.
In a head-on battle, although the strong men under Zhou Tian are not weaker than the other party, they may not have much chance of winning. But like now, if you only need to keep attacking the other party, then no matter how strong those mercenaries seem to be at that time, when they continue to deal with the attacks of Zhou Tian's side, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for them to be okay at that time.
As a result, some of the mercenaries succeeded and escaped back at that time, but more mercenaries were forced to stay on Zhou Tian's side at that time. Then, according to the situation at that time, the part of the mercenaries that Zhou Tian and they could leave behind would inevitably face the siege of Zhou Tian and his strong men.
"The victory is divided, surrender!"
Although he was very unhappy with the other party's previous attack on him, Zhou Tian would not really hate those mercenaries because of this, after all, the other party only did it for money, in essence, Zhou Tian actually had no hatred with those mercenaries. In this way, if he can not fight hard with the other party, Zhou Tian has no idea of killing those mercenaries.
Compared with paying a certain price to kill those mercenaries, Zhou Tian at that time still hoped to subdue the other party. After all, the strength of those mercenaries was there, if Zhou Tian could really subdue them, then with the help of the group of mercenaries at that time, Zhou Tian's next battle would be much easier.
It's just a pity, although it is not denied that if Zhou Tianru can subdue those mercenaries, the benefits he can get will not be less. But obviously, according to the situation at the time, the situation was unfavorable to them, but if Zhou Tian really wanted to subdue those mercenaries, it still depended on whether the other party was willing to agree.
Undoubtedly, those mercenaries are usually 'heads and faces' characters outside, not to mention that they think they are the kings of heaven, but according to the status and strength of those mercenary powerhouses, let them take refuge in the powerful, especially those who were enemies before like Zhou Tian, if there is no special reason, it is estimated that it is unlikely.
In fact, in addition to self-cultivation, the strong people in the general mercenary group are indeed very few of them who take refuge in the powerful. In this way, although Zhou Tian had a reason to recruit those mercenaries at that time, judging from the situation at that time, Zhou Tian wanted to recruit those mercenaries, but he was afraid that he would not be satisfied.
"You want us to surrender?
As expected, after listening to Zhou Tian's words, those mercenaries didn't even think about it, and directly rejected his proposal as soon as they heard it.
Seeing the performance of those mercenaries, although Zhou Tian knew that he might not really have any hope of recruiting the other party, it was obvious that Zhou Tian did not have the intention of wasting too much time on those enemies. In this way, it was best to be able to recruit those mercenaries at that time, and if you can't recruit the other party like now, it won't affect Zhou Tian's follow-up actions at all.
"If you refuse to surrender, then die!"
There was no surprise, since those mercenaries refused to surrender at that time, Zhou Tian directly ordered a final attack on them.
"Boom, boom!"
The result was not too much of a surprise, although the strength of those mercenaries was indeed good, but the strong people on Zhou Tian's side were not weaker than them at the moment. What's more, at present, Zhou Tian's side has an absolute advantage in numbers, so according to the situation at that time, when they launched an encirclement and suppression of those mercenaries on Sunday, the end of those mercenaries who could not escape was actually doomed from the beginning.
In this way, it was the use of absolute strength and numerical superiority, after Zhou Tian and his strong men killed those mercenaries together, this time the matter could be regarded as a reluctant end.
It's just that......
Although in terms of results, Zhou Tian can be said to be the ultimate victor, after all, he not only escaped the defeat of those mercenaries, but even left some members of the other party in the end. But even if he achieved the same victory at that time, Zhou Tian didn't think that the battle between him and those mercenaries really ended like that.
Even if Zhou Tian killed a lot of high-level mercenaries, even if the other party's high-level combat power suffered heavy losses, all this still could not be changed, and the overall strength of those mercenaries at that time was not damaged too much.
In this way, even if some of the mercenary high-level let Zhou Tian kill them, it is estimated that it will still not be able to dispel the other party's desire to attack. According to their agreement with the Goblin Empire, even if their previous operation failed, and some members of the team were killed by Zhou Tian's side, but the mercenary offensive was still not affected.
"Kill!"
It's as if Zhou Tian's confrontation with those strong mercenaries has never happened at all, when Zhou Tian finally solved some of the mercenaries, looking back, he found that during the period when he fought with those mercenaries, the mercenary side's offensive against them didn't seem to have any impact at all, how to attack his territory, and those mercenaries were still attacking his territory at that time.
Undoubtedly, even if Zhou Tian didn't fight those mercenary high-level for a long time, but in that short period of time, after the war between the two sides at the bottom for so long, it was clear that the losses of both sides at that time were impossible to reduce from any point of view.
According to the situation at that time, after Zhou Tian reacted and knew how the war was going during that time, he felt extremely dissatisfied. After all, he was still thinking about how to ensure that his private soldiers would not lose too much, and just as he was working in that direction, he suddenly learned that his private soldiers had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle.
It can even be said directly that when he learned the news, Zhou Tian was so angry that he wanted to fight with those mercenaries. After all, he just didn't want to lose too much of the power in his hands, so he kept holding back and didn't make a move on those mercenaries. But now, when they have been enduring a full-scale war, those mercenaries have already taken the lead in causing their private soldiers to suffer heavy losses. Now that the results that Zhou Tian hoped for are no longer possible, once the jar is broken, no matter how much he directly fights with those mercenaries, that kind of situation is really not impossible.
And if Zhou Tian really made that kind of decision, it was conceivable that although it was not easy to annihilate those mercenaries by his means, it was really not an impossible thing to do.
It's just that if Zhou Tianzhen decides to do that, he will be able to clean up those mercenaries who offended him at that time. But after cleaning up those mercenaries, I don't know how much power is left in Zhou Tian's hands. And that kind of ending, that is what Zhou Tian can't accept no matter what.
It was precisely because of the reason for the consequences that would be caused if he did it like that, so although Zhou Tianzhen had that idea under impulse, in the end, after thinking about it for a long time, he still had to dispel that idea and directly decided to continue to resist the attack of the mercenary side according to the original line of defense.
Of course, Zhou Tian made such a decision, in addition to avoiding the excessive loss of his own private soldiers, more because he knew that the layout he had made before had begun to work.
Regardless of the reason for those mercenaries to attack their territory like madness at the moment, the arrangements made before Zhou Tian would not be so easily affected. And for the sake of money, I believe that the nearby mercenaries have already rushed to his territory, and when those new mercenaries attack those mercenaries who attack his territory, it is estimated that even if those mercenaries are not chaotic, it is estimated that they will not have much energy to continue to deal with him.
Anyway, there was no way to avoid the loss at that time, and he was reluctant to really fight his family. So in the face of the situation at that time, Zhou Tian had no choice but to wait.
Fortunately, although Zhou Tianping lost part of his strength because of the arrangement of the goblins at that time. However, after Zhou Tian fought with those mercenaries, no matter how much strength they lost, after they blocked the attack of those mercenaries, after a period of time, the mercenaries who had been rushing towards the battlefield where they were inevitably began to enter Zhou Tian's territory. And with the arrival of those mercenaries, it is natural that the respective arrangements of Zhou Tian and the Goblin Empire will inevitably play their due role at that time.
"Soul Fade, why did someone attack us?"
"Which mercenary group are you from, and why are you attacking us?"
“......”
Seriously, the strength of those mercenaries who rushed over from outside at that time may not be strong, but as Zhou Tian thought, in the general environment where those mercenaries originally united to deal with Zhou Tian, they must not be too wary of other mercenaries who are allied with them. In this way, when those mercenaries were not defenseless against their companions at all, they suddenly encountered the attack of their companions at that time, and they didn't care about the loss or anything, and the emergence of that situation at that time was enough to cause the civil strife of those mercenaries.
When those mercenaries found out that the other mercenaries who were supposed to be their allies were likely to suddenly attack them when they were unprepared, then not to mention peacetime, even when they were fighting with Zhou Tian's side, it was estimated that those mercenaries would definitely be on guard against other mercenaries walking near them!
And according to the situation at that time, they were united and had not been able to take advantage of Zhou Tian's hands, if they were to guard against each other in that situation, then no matter from which point of view, the strength that the group of mercenaries at that time could exert was quite limited.
As a result, according to the situation at the time, if the mercenaries had maintained that posture of defensiveness against each other, it was almost certain that there would be no need to continue the next battle at all. Because as long as those mercenaries still want to live, then they will be more careful to guard against their comrades than to attack the enemy, and in that situation, even if Zhou Tian does not fight back against them, it is estimated that it will be difficult for those mercenaries to continue to attack their territory.
But the question now is, is it possible that Sunday will not do something?
Obviously, according to the relationship between Zhou Tian and those mercenaries, no matter from which point of view, it was impossible to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight at that time, because Zhou Tian knew very well that even if his arrangement really played its due role, it could only have a certain impact on those mercenaries at most, so according to the background of those goblins, if he wanted to influence the layout of the goblin empire according to the means at that time, it was probably a little difficult.
And although he is not short of money, but Zhou Tian is clear that the Jing Empire is even richer, if he knows what he has done secretly, then it is conceivable that those goblins will inevitably take action next.
Even if Zhou Tian's current layout seemed to be working well, as long as they knew what he had done, then according to the strength of the Goblin Empire, it might only take a short time for them to react, and then they would be able to figure out how to deal with it. And when those goblins reacted, it was estimated that soon, the mercenaries that Zhou Tian had attracted with a lot of money at that time would be used by those goblins in turn.
In this way, according to the situation at that time, if Zhou Tian did not want to have a worse situation, then he could not wait, even if the interests could not be maximized, then it was inevitable to take the initiative at that time.
In the general environment where the mercenaries began to be unstable at that time, I believe that Zhou Tian will attack at this time, and he will definitely be able to defeat the other party in one fell swoop. And as long as those mercenaries themselves are messed up, even if Zhou Tian's actual strength is not much stronger than them at that time, it is estimated that they can easily win in that environment.
In this way, as long as Zhou Tian took advantage of the opportunity he created to defeat those mercenaries in one fell swoop, then it is conceivable that it will be difficult for those mercenaries to form such a large-scale team in a short period of time.
Then, even those mercenaries reacted in hindsight, and estimated that they would regret it then, but they were afraid that there would be no way to take Zhou Tian.
