Chapter Twenty-Eight: Falling from the Wind
"Give it to me!"
Looking at the two figures that slowly emerged from the smoke, Zhu Peng was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he hurriedly pulled out the big knife on his waist, and shouted with the front finger of the blade.
But Zhu Peng was the only one who was excited, and instead of acting according to Zhu Peng's orders, some of his big-headed soldiers quietly took two steps back.
Everyone is not blind, everyone has seen the spell that Zhou Ping just issued, and the strength shown is obviously not an ordinary person, even if there is a saying that ants bite to death, then no one wants to be the first to die. In a sense, these regular soldiers who receive salaries are not as fierce as the bandits, the former can get military salaries even if they don't fight, while the latter live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and if they don't work hard, they will really go hungry.
And just when these soldiers hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, Zhou Ping and Dong Bai made a move, the two of them one after the other, the axe blade in front of them swirled, and the lightning flashed in the back, like a hungry wolf that pounced on the sheep, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed into the enemy formation, tearing open a huge gap, causing many soldiers to retreat one after another.
If you talk about the strength on paper, these two people can't fight these soldiers, but morale is a very wonderful thing, the defeat is like a mountain, these soldiers have already given up too many opportunities and chances of winning when they retreat at the beginning, and now, no matter how much Zhu Peng whips and scolds, the morale that has dispersed can no longer be gathered.
"Rice bucket! It's all a bunch of rice buckets! ”
Zhu Peng scolded one after another, obviously the credit is in front of him, but the soldiers under his command are really useless, if it goes on like this, let alone the credit, it is fortunate that there will be no accidents.
It can't be like this anymore!
Zhu Peng secretly gritted his teeth, he spat on his hand fiercely, and clenched the big knife, but it was a soldier who pushed away the crowded retreat in front of him.
Regardless of whether you can beat it or not, you have to stand up and maintain the broken morale.
"Drink!"
"Boom!"
Dong Bai was concentrating on manipulating the flying axe, and when she felt that someone was attacking her, she didn't have time to take a closer look at the black light, she just regarded it as an ordinary soldier, and subconsciously manipulated the axe to fly over there. After the impact of gold and iron, her flying axe was bounced away, and the big knife in Zhu Peng's hand was also knocked away.
Dong Bai couldn't see it really, but Zhou Ping behind her could see it clearly, although he didn't know Zhu Peng, but the other party's outfit was obviously something that an ordinary soldier could wear from time to time, seeing that Dong Bai effortlessly solved one of the other party's generals, he turned his mind and immediately shouted.
"Surrender or kill!"
The soldiers were forced to retreat step by step, and when they saw that the main general was not able to fight under the opponent, they didn't even have the heart to retreat and regroup.
Zhou Ping also didn't expect that he originally wanted to break in and save people, but who knew that the other party was so vulnerable.
However, it is also due to the timing, if this pass is not raided, but Zhou Ping and Dong Bai come to the pass to call for battle openly, then it is not these soldiers who descend in the wind, but Zhou Ping and Dong Bai are shot into a sieve.
Dong Bai also didn't react a little, she originally had the idea of fighting a vicious battle, but she didn't expect that none of these regular troops were forbidden to fight by bandits, at least the bandits could still muster up the courage to face her and force her to a deflated situation, and the so-called Tongguan defenders surrendered like this?
"What should I do?"
With the axe in hand, Dong Bai put on a defensive posture, she tilted her head slightly, and asked Zhou Ping in a low voice.
What to do? Even if Zhou Ping had made a very detailed plan and alternative plan before, he couldn't imagine that things would develop to this point, but now is not the time to hesitate at all, what else can he do, take a step at a time.
……
The east is white, the morning light of the light shines on the city of Tongguan, the flag is still Zhu Peng's flag, but the person sitting on the commander of the big camp has changed from Zhu Peng to Zhou Ping.
Tongguan was taken over by Zhou Ping, and Zhu Peng was naturally put in prison, but no punishment was imposed, first, Zhou Ping hadn't figured out how to deal with him, and second, Zhou Ping, who was born in a civilized society, had a natural resistance to punishment.
And those laborers who should have been taken away naturally returned to Tongguan, and controlling such a pass naturally requires manpower, and Zhou Ping is not big enough to use those soldiers who have just surrendered. But it's not too bad, although a few days of labor have been tortured, but after all, the foundation is there, after collecting the weapons and armor of those soldiers, the daily maintenance of order can still be done.
"What do you think we should do?"
In the study of the guards in Tongguan, Zhou Ping sat on the original Zhu Peng's chair with his chin crossed, he shook his legs, although unconscious, but also exposed the bottomlessness in his heart. But it's not just Zhou Ping, whether it's Liu Scaryan or Ma Dali, both of them have a helplessness on their faces that can't be concealed, these two are the masters of Wuthering Mountains, and it's okay to rob houses and houses, but in the face of such a big Tongguan, it is the first time in their lives.
The only ones who showed composure were Dong Bai and Han Ji, the former was the lord who lived in the Han family's palace as his own home, and the latter had seen a lot of big battles with Qin Shihuang before his death, but Han Ji went to guard Zhu Peng, and now only Dong Bai was present.
"What else can I do, if someone else lets it out, you will take it."
Dong Bai sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs and casually agreed, after the initial shock, she had now fully reacted.
"If you can't believe those who have surrendered, take half of them and send them back to the cottage, and then transfer half of the brothers from the cottage."
Not only put forward opinions, Dong Bai even thought about how to implement it.
Listening to Dong Bai's suggestion, Zhou Ping unconsciously stared at Dong Bai's upturned toes and thought, and realizing Zhou Ping's gaze, Dong Bai had a heart attack, but he wanted to save some face for Zhou Ping in front of outsiders, so he could only silently withdraw his toes.
"Virtuous teacher, I feel ...... Inappropriate. ”
Zhou Ping was thinking about it here, but Ma Dali over there spoke, and he was tortured a lot with a lot of bandages wrapped around him, which looked a little funny.
"After all, this Tongguan is the gateway to the pass, if we occupy it like this, Chang'an will definitely come to recover it, and we people may not be able to defend it."
Ma Dali said as she looked in the direction of Dong Bai, but Dong Bai obviously didn't care that her opinion was refuted, she frowned slightly, but she was also thinking about Ma Dali's opinion. Everyone present knew that if Li Dao and Guo Yan came to call, not only would they not necessarily hold it, but they would not be able to hold it at all.
It also makes sense......
Zhou Ping looked at Liu Scareye while thinking about it, and motioned for her to say something too.
"A good teacher...... The subordinates felt that it would be okay to combine the opinions of Commander Ma and Miss Dong. ”
"What do you mean?"
“…… Those of us in this industry know that if we become bigger, we will definitely not be able to avoid contact with the officers and soldiers, and the best way to deal with the officers and soldiers is not to defeat them, but to become a family with them. ”
The gap between Ma Dali and Liu Scareye is revealed, one is the remnant of the yellow turban disguised as a bandit, and the other is a regular bandit, this idea is different.
"A family of officials and bandits?"
Zhou Ping chewed on Liu Scar's proposal, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt chewy.
