Chapter 274: The Meat Shield Before the Battle

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly, urged the horse to rush towards Jin Cheng, and shouted: "Little thief, I met your uncle today, count your fate short, take your life!" While speaking, he rushed to Jin Cheng and stabbed him with a gun.

Jin Cheng hurriedly dodged and shot back.

He had a back hand for this shot, and he didn't use all his strength, but even so, when Zhang Xiao blocked his shot, he still took three steps back with a horse and a horse, and his heart was shocked, this person is not very old, but he has such a high cultivation!

Seeing that although the enemy was rampant, but the strength was mediocre, Jin Cheng gradually put his mind at ease, circled with Zhang Xiao, and after a few rounds of fighting, he suddenly exerted his strength, aimed at the opponent's upper and middle two key points, and fired three shots in a row.

The three shots were all in one go, almost at the same time, Zhang Xiao couldn't take care of the top, Gu couldn't take care of the top, and before he could figure out how to crack it, the spear came close again.

"Pounce, pounce, pounce!"

The three shots were not empty, and they were all slashed at Zhang Xiao's body, who didn't even scream, his body was cut into four pieces, and he fell under the horse.

Ren Tong, who was watching the battle behind, was taken aback, and the tragic death of his companion made him sad, hateful and angry, and he screamed proudly, urging the horse to rush towards Jin Cheng with a knife.

It turns out that the strength of the wooden general is only like this! Jin Cheng's confidence is getting more and more full, and seeing that another wooden general is also rushing over, he wants to try his skills again, and the silver spear suddenly shows a dazzling golden light, and the killing move is released.

The golden air currents were like crossbow arrows shot out of hundreds of crossbows together, splitting their heads and covering their faces, shooting towards Ren Tong.

Ren Tong had never seen such a strange skill, and in a hurry, he didn't have time to think carefully, and subconsciously met it with an optical chain network.

But when the optical chain network encountered the light god extinguished, the light chain network was shattered, and the light god was extinguished. Keep flying forward.

Poor Ren Tong didn't even figure out what skills the other party used, and he was confused by the oncoming dense air flow into a meat sieve, even people and horses, and his body was covered with rough blood holes, and he was soft on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Killing two enemy generals in one go, Jin Cheng's confidence has never been so full. He picked up his gun and laughed twice, waved his spear forward, and shouted: "Our soldiers, kill the enemy with this commander!" As he spoke, he took the lead in rushing to the opposite wooden army.

The main general was brave and won consecutive battles, and the excitement of the soldiers below immediately overwhelmed the fear in their hearts, and they followed Jin Cheng with shouts and rushed forward to kill.

Tens of thousands of people charged with great momentum. The momentum was like a sea of mountains, and the wooden army that had lost its main general was already cowardly, and when he saw the other party flocking to him again, his morale collapsed instantly, his fighting spirit was gone, and people invariably turned around and were defeated.

They want to escape back to Crouching Tiger Pass, but it is easy to get out and difficult to go back.

When they ran back, they ran into Zhang Bufan and Bai Phosphorus who were following them. 5,000 wooden troops, there is a fierce god in front of them. After there were vicious pursuers, there was no way to fight, and they couldn't escape, and before and after the enemy soldiers rushed to the front, the 5,000 wooden troops took the initiative to throw away their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Bufan and Bai Phosphorus's 3,000 men and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army took advantage of the situation to surround the 5,000 Mu Legion. Jin Cheng and Zhang Bufan also ran into one place, and he asked in surprise: "General Zhang, General Bai, why are you two here?"

"My lord, I saw the defenders of Crouching Tiger Pass go out of the city to seek battle, and specially sent me to intercept and kill!" Bai Phosphorus replied with a smile.

Zhang Bufan did not answer, and raised his eyes to look at the corpses of the two wooden generals in front of him. asked: "Jin Cheng, have all the enemy generals been killed by you?"

Although Jin Cheng is already the commander of the first army, in terms of qualifications, he is still a big gap compared to Zhang Bufan, Jin Cheng will respectfully bow his hand and reply: "Yes, General Zhang, the last general just won by luck." ”

"Yes! That's good!" Zhang Bufan rarely praises others, and it is not easy for him to say the word good

After receiving Zhang Bufan's praise, Jin Cheng was also very excited and asked, "General Zhang, what should be done with these prisoners of the wooden army?"

Zhang Bufan glanced at him and said, "Follow the old rules." ”

"Old rules?" Jin Cheng didn't know what the old rules were, and looked at him puzzled.

"Our army does not have the extra strength and energy to take care of so many prisoners, and they will all be executed!" Zhang Bufan replied simply.

Jin Cheng was secretly speechless, and his brows furrowed. In his opinion, the enemy is no longer an enemy as long as he lays down his arms, and it is too cruel to slaughter captives who have lost the ability and will to resist.

He pondered for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "Do you want to report to the adults first, and let the adults decide?"

"No need!" Zhang Bufan said coldly: "Even if it is reported to the adult, the adult's decision will not be any different. ”

"But ......"

"Where did you get all that nonsense? Listen to my orders and execute all the surrendered wooden troops...... Zhang Bufan's voice did not fall, and a person rushed to the rear, Ling Wuya.

Ling Wuya hurriedly came with a whip, the soldiers of the Jin army retreated one after another, let go of a passage, he rushed directly to Zhang Bufan and Jin Cheng's side, and then hurriedly reined in the war horse, and the horse turned around in place before stopping.

Zhang Bufan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wuya, why are you here?"

"General Zhang!" Ling Wuya arched his hand on the horse, and said with a straight face: "My lord has an order, take all the captured wooden troops to the front of the Fifth Legion and make meat shields!"

Zhang Bufan was stunned, then laughed on his back, patted his head, and praised: "It's still an adult's thoughtfulness." "Instead of killing all the captives, it's better to push them to the front of the formation, the wooden army's arrow array is powerful, then let them shoot their own people first.

He turned to Jin Cheng and said, "Jin Cheng, do you hear clearly?

"Yes!"

After Ling Wuya finished speaking, he arched his hand at Zhang Bufan, turned his horse's head, and retreated to the Chinese army behind.

The five thousand Mu army were captured and divided into two parts by Jin Cheng, one part was placed in front of the formation on his side, and the other part was escorted to the front of Song Yu's side. Five thousand people have become hostages of the Jin army, and they have also become the shields of the Jin army, as long as the arrow array is released on the city, then the first person to shoot is the Mu army's own people.

Lin Haotian's methods can be called despicable and indecent, but in his concept, as long as he goes to the battlefield, there is no noble existence, and the purpose of the battle is only one, to exchange the minimum price for the maximum victory.

The battlefield is a hell of life and death.

Seeing that the Jin army pushed all their surrendered soldiers to the front of the battle to make meat shields, the bows and arrows raised by the wooden army were put down one after another, and the bowstrings that were pulled away were slowly loosened, and for a while, people didn't know whether to continue to shoot the arrows in their hands.

When his own arrows stopped, Cao Xiong was furious and yelled at the left and right: "Why don't you release the arrows?

"Your Excellency...... a wooden general said in a trembling voice, "Jin Jun...... The Jin army pushed all the brothers of our army to the front of the battle as a shield......"

Cao Xiong is not blind, and he can see the actions of the Jin army clearly, but if he appeases the lives of his surrendered soldiers at this critical moment, the battle will not be fought. He shouted angrily: "Those who are afraid of the enemy and surrender should be killed according to military law, how can we mess up our tactics because of these damned surrendering troops? Release arrows! Continue to release arrows for me! If there are any mercy from his subordinates, they will be punished by military law!"

He gave the death order, and the wooden soldiers below did not dare to slack off any longer, raised their arrows again, drew their bows, and shot arrows at the Jin army camps on the left and right.

The Mu army's arrows kept shooting, but the five thousand Mu soldiers who surrendered were bitter, they had no shields, no weapons, they were tied together by the Jin army in strings, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to, and they watched their own arrow rain falling from the sky, unstoppable, unavoidable, and could only grit their teeth and stand firm.

Although the steel armor on the wooden soldier's body is strong, it can't prevent the arrows from firing, only to hear the sound of arrows breaking through the armor in the crowd, and then there is a wail, because the wooden army is tied together, some people have been shot into hedgehogs, but the people on both sides did not fall, and the corpses are still standing, bearing more arrows.

The tragic scene in front stimulated the nerves of every soldier of the Fifth Army behind them, and also made them deeply realize that once they chose to surrender on the battlefield, no one would see themselves as human beings anymore, not even pigs and dogs, whether it was the enemy or their comrades.
