Chapter 513: Coming in handy
When the spear pierced into the chest of the first row of local soldiers, who were mainly ruffians and hooligans, a bloody massacre began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The contest between the armies in a state of war is nothing more than reflected in two aspects, one is the combat strength of the armed forces, which is hard power, and the other is the use of strategy.
Strategy also includes the use of weather and terrain, which is the full embodiment of the commanding art of the army's commander-in-chief, which belongs to the army's hidden soft power.
Now that two seemingly disparity in numbers are facing each other head-to-head, this puts aside the influence of soft power and is a contest of pure combat power.
Although SEG's local army has an absolute advantage in numbers, they are at a disadvantage in terms of training intensity and equipment, and their morale is low.
The short knives in their hands couldn't cut through the armor on the opponent's spear and shield hands, and they couldn't even get close, and they fell down in an instant!
"Hey, what's going on with these guys? Aren't they afraid of death? And Tom, they're just down? Don't come here, don't come here!"
"You bastards are all up, the opportunities for promotion and fortune are all in front of you, don't squeeze me, who is squeezing me? ā
"What are you kidding, who is going to have to deal with their own lives? Isn't it just dealing with unarmed peasants? Where did these guys come from?"
In the face of the persecution of the spear and shield men, these ragtag troops who were not ready for life and death at all kept retreating, and their eyes were full of fear.
"You guys usually know how to bully civilians, and you know how to be afraid? Didn't you just want to kill us all? Don't run now!"
"My lord, you must not let go of these brutes, they all carry the blood debt of innocent civilians on their bodies, and they have slaughtered several villages!"
"We must avenge the innocent people who died in vain, my lord, don't let them escape, let them pay the due price for their actions!"
The townspeople of Tarun shouted at this, and they were all indignant, and many even picked up their hoes and planned to join the battle.
However, he was stopped by the guards behind Lin Ye, and blindly letting these civilians in the past would affect the formation of the gun and shield men, and they would be sent to death in vain.
"You are all soldiers of the empire, you can't be so cowardly, we are so powerful, how many can they kill no matter how powerful they are? Don't be afraid, rush forward!"
Saige's face changed suddenly when he saw the scene in front of him, his body began to tremble, and he involuntarily took a step back, but still gritted his teeth and gave orders.
"Saige, you bastard, this is not the same as what was said, we are here with you to make a fortune, not to give your life, these guys are too powerful!"
"Lao Tzu just spent money to get in, what kind of bullshit imperial soldiers, or their own lives are more important, I won't do it, run away!"
"Ouch, who tripped me, don't come here, I'm a good person, but I haven't done anything bad, don't come here, please, poof!"
In just a split second, at least thirty soldiers were stabbed to death with spears, and their brute force suddenly collapsed.
The fear of death spreads in an instant, and the ragtags flee in all directions, but this only accelerates their deaths.
"Incompetent people who have not experienced the tempering of war, the sword in the hands of a real soldier is waved to protect the people, not for greed!"
Lancelot swung his sword to slash the two fleeing soldiers, and as his gestures changed, the formation of the spearmen and shieldmen changed from advancing to charging.
They raised their spears and threw them forward, and in an instant dozens of soldiers fell to the ground as they lowered their bodies.
Ready to charge, they drew their sharp short blades pinned behind their shields and sprinted with all their might towards the fleeing motley army.
Trained to the test of life and death, they leap high and plunge their daggers into the back of their enemies' necks.
The moment the short blade was pulled out, blood gushed out, and ordinary people would definitely be frightened when they saw such a murderous scene.
But they didn't react to this, their vigorous skills were even on the ground in complex terrain, this was a completely one-sided slaughter!
"You bastards, don't run, hold them back, hold them back...... Plop, sir, spare me, spare me. ā
Saige saw a large number of corpses on the ground, and even though many soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape, there were still bows and arrows aimed at their backs in the rear.
The only twenty or thirty motley soldiers who escaped from the range of the bow and arrow were overtaken by cavalry who came out of nowhere.
These cavalrymen with superb horsemanship raised their swords and slaughtered all the deserters without much effort, which made people's scalps tingle when they saw this scene!
"If Duke Ben remembers correctly, didn't Your Excellency still want to arrest Duke Ben just now? Why are you kneeling on the ground now?"
Lin Ye walked up to Saige, who was already facing ashes and trembling all over, obviously frightened and begging for mercy.
"It's all a misunderstanding just now, a misunderstanding, a small infantry captain, where do you dare to attack the Duke, your lordship, just spare me. ā
Saige was not a strong man in the first place, and all he was thinking about at this moment was how to save his life, where could he care about anything else?
"At first glance, this person is a villain who does evil, my lord, it is better to kill him on the spot, and it can be regarded as a harm to the people of the Iron Wall Province. ā
Lancelot swung his sword across Sege's neck, so frightened that the latter trembled so much that he almost fainted, but he still valued his own life very much.
"This general, Xia Guan has offended a lot, you just let Xia Guan go, kill Xia Guan and dirty your hands, Xia Guan should die, damn it!"
Saige kept slapping himself, this greedy appearance of being afraid of death, and the arrogant energy that ordered the killing not long ago were basically the same as the two of them.
"Sege, you bastard, you usually do a lot of evil, but today you finally hit the iron plate, right? ā
"That is, his hands are stained with the blood of innocent villagers, it is simply unforgivable, he must be put to death to avenge the innocent!"
"Saige, you also have today, my lord, you are really the savior of our Tarun Town, without you, we would be all done today!"
While scolding Saige, the townspeople thanked Lin Ye from the bottom of their hearts, especially the old town elder who was in tears and kept wiping his tears.
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency Saige, you have also seen it, it's not that Duke Ben doesn't want to spare your life, but everyone asks for this, which makes Duke Ben very embarrassed, what do you say now?" Lin Ye quietly made a stop motion, signaling Lancelot not to do it for the time being.
And he looked at Saige with a smile, even if he is a person who does evil, it will still come in handy at some point.
