Chapter Ninety-One: Defection
David's corpse was cut in two, and Ren Yao didn't look at it, and continued to swing his sword and slash at the others.
Those forces from all sides planted into the Black Armor Army, at the beginning, they still struggled to resist, and they were unwilling to be slaughtered like this. But they were all infantry, and where was the opponent of the cavalry led by Ren Xiaoyao? Soon, most of the 200 men were killed! The rest of the people no longer had the will to resist, and fled in confusion, shouting for mercy.
This is a wilderness, and more than 200 family cronies led by Ren Xiaoyao are all riding horses, how can anyone escape!
The people rushed to kill for half an hour, and killed all the fine work.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were cold, and there was no expression on his face. He looked at the many cronies he had brought, and said, "You are all the elite of the family, and you are also the most trusted people in the family, and no one can disclose these things that happened today after you go back!"
"Yes!" replied in unison to the two hundred family elites.
Ren Xiaoyao took all his cronies and stayed outside for nearly an hour before returning to the Tianchi City camp without hurry.
Returning to Tianchi City, Ren Xiaoyao went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the cavalry who followed him also dispersed and returned to their original posts.
Ren Xiaoyao had no superfluous explanation for today's events, only said that after he brought people to Wuqi City, he didn't see the large army of his army for a long time, so he rushed back with people. As for the whereabouts of David and the "two hundred elite soldiers" he brought, Ren Xiaoyao said that he didn't know at all.
Half a day later, a soldier in charge of reconnaissance came to report: A large number of corpses were found on both sides of the official road ten miles away from Tianchi City, which were verified to be 200 elite soldiers under David and his command!
No one can say the cause of the death of David and those soldiers, but it is speculated that they were ambushed by the enemy, so they were all wiped out!
Regarding David's death, Ren Canglong ordered the whole army to mourn for him, and claimed that he would report David's heroic deeds to the imperial court.
The soldiers of the Black Armor Army also believed that David had indeed died in an ambush. Because David's ambush happened to explain what happened during the day's expedition: at that time, the army was about to depart, but Ren Canglong temporarily decided to cancel the expedition because of a piece of news - it must be because Ren Canglong had already learned at that time that the enemy army would have an ambush on the way, so he canceled the plan of this expedition. The David's army was unfortunate that the "substitute" army was ambushed.
In the barracks, many people were talking about today's events.
"Alas, the death of David's prison army this time is really unjust, if he had known that there was an ambush outside the city earlier, he would not have died. ”
"That's not necessarily, you see our young marshal, he is also out of the city, isn't there nothing to do? This is all fate, it is David whose life is not good, and he can't blame others!"
"Death is death, death is good! Our Black Armor Army was established by Generalissimo Ren Fengshuang back then, and he has always only obeyed the command of the Ren family, he is surnamed Dai, why is he pointing fingers here?"
......
There are all kinds of discussions, some regret David's death, and some think it is a good thing.
And the people behind this matter, Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Canglong, Ah Sheng and others, all feel very comfortable at this moment. Especially Ren Canglong and Ren Xiaoyao, as soon as David died, there would be no Han family's eyeliner by their side, and many things would be much easier to do. At least the situation of having to fight like last time will never happen again.
By the evening, the "David's death" turmoil, which had lasted for a day, had calmed down, and as the soldiers had finished their drills and returned to their barracks, the day was coming to an end.
At the end of this day, a small group of people and horses came to the city of Tianchi City at a rapid pace.
The soldiers defending the city saw this group of people: there were more than ten people in total, all of them were riding horses, wearing dark red Xiliang country soldier uniforms, everyone was murderous, and they were all battle-hardened people!
"Defense, there is an enemy attack!"
The defenders of the city immediately raised their alarms, and the archers standing on the walls lined up, their bowstrings full, aimed at the men below.
"Don't let go of the arrows, we are not enemies, we are here to join your army!" below, a tall and extremely burly exploding man hurriedly waved his hand and shouted loudly.
When the soldiers on the city tower heard this, they were skeptical, and immediately shouted: "Since you are here to defect, first remove your armor and weapons!"
After a while, more than a dozen people in the city reluctantly unloaded their weapons and armor to express their sincerity in defecting. Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city tower also believed it a little.
"For the time being, I believe that you are here to defect, but you are wearing Xiliang armor, obviously from the Xiliang Kingdom, how can you come to join us? Also, which general in our army are you here?"
Below, it was still the strong man with the explosive head who opened his mouth to answer. Not only was he tall and loud, but his voice was also very loud, and his voice came from under the twenty-meter-high city tower, but it was still loud and clear:
"We are all the original defenders of Tianchi City, and after the defeat yesterday, we all fled from Tianchi City. But after we fled to the city of Uqi, the great master Sanjie blamed us for not fighting well and wanted to kill us to make an example! We received the news in advance, so we took the opportunity to escape. As for the generals we are going to defect to...... I don't know his name, I only know that he is not very old, he is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he has a cyan giant sword on his back, and his strength is very strong!"
Hearing this, all the soldiers on the city tower were stunned, and one of them said: "It turns out that you are talking about our young marshal Ren Yao, you wait, I will go and inform you first!"
With that, the soldier was going to hurry down to the city to inform Ren Yao. But at this time, a dashing figure flew up from under the corner of the city, the twenty-meter-high city tower, he only used his feet to tap a few times on the steps of the city, and came to the top of the city tower!
Ren Xiaoyao was wearing civilian clothes, a little less cold than under the uniform, but he was still heroic, and he was more chic and indifferent.
Seeing that it was Ren Xiaoyao coming, all the soldiers saluted one after another: "See the young marshal! There are a group of people outside the city who want to ......."
"Hehe, I just heard that. Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, stopped the soldier from continuing to report, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to go down and open the city gate. He came to the city wall and looked at the people below: "Centurion Zamuhe, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!
Under the castle, the strong man with the explosive head is Zamuhe. He was quite surprised to see that Ren Xiaoyao actually came to greet him in person.
The city gate was opened, and Ren Xiaoyao was already at the city gate to greet him, led by Zamuhe, and the more than ten horsemen and horses entered the city.
Zamuhe took the lead, the first to kneel on one knee, and said: "The defeated general Zamuhe, with thirteen soldiers from the battalion, came to join the general, and I wish the general to take him in!"
"Hurry up, please! I admire the bravery and wisdom of Centurion Zamuhe, and I can't ask for it. Come, come with me back to my tent, and we'll talk a little more. ”
With that, Ren Xiaoyao took Zamuhe and the others back to their tent. On the way, Zamuhe kept sighing: "In the battle that day, I only thought that you were extremely talented, young and promising, but I really didn't expect that you were still the young marshal of the Great Xia Army, and your status was respected. ”
......
Ren Xiaoyao's employment strategy is "no need to suspect people, no suspicion in employing people", since he saw Zamuhe on the battlefield that day, he felt that Zamuhe was a talent, and he was quite heroic, and he was also a bright and upright person. So to be able to take him under the account, Ren Xiaoyao is very happy, and he will not suspect that he has any conspiracy.
In the tent, Ren Xiaoyao still asked in detail the reason why Zamuhe and others took refuge.
As Zamuhe said outside the city, after they fled from the defeat of Tianchi City, they all fled to the nearest city, Wuqi City. In Wuqi City, they met Sanjie, the great master of the Western Liang Kingdom, who was sent by the imperial court to take charge of the war.
Sanjay is a person who acts quite extremely, and he wants to kill all the generals who have fled back from the defeated army, leaving no one behind!
Before he was about to execute Zamuhe and the others, Zamuhe and the others received the news in advance, so they quickly escaped.
After thinking about it, the dozen or so people who escaped felt that they really had no other specialties besides being soldiers, but with Sanjie here, Xiliang Kingdom could no longer tolerate them. In the end, at the suggestion of Zamuhe, they all came to Ren Xiaoyao together, intending to take refuge.
Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao felt that there was no doubt before and after, and there was only one question in his heart, he asked: "Zamuhe, when you left Xiliang, you were also forced by Sanjie's great master, I can understand this." But if you take refuge in me, isn't it tantamount to treason and surrender to the enemy? You must know that now, my Great Xia is at war with Xiliang. ”
"This ...... In fact, a few of us still have a request, I hope the general will agree, otherwise we can't stay. ”
"What request?"
"If we are under the command of the general, I hope that the general will not send us to fight in any war with Xiliang Kingdom. ”
After that, Zamuhe looked at Ren Xiaoyao with some apprehension, thinking that such a request, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the other party to agree. But Ren Xiaoyao's reaction was beyond his expectations, Ren Xiaoyao laughed, and said happily: "Haha, this is just like words! I promise you this request, and in the future, you will follow me and the Ren family, and you don't have to worry about the war with Xiliang Kingdom." ”
"General Xie is considerate!" Zamuhe finally showed his joy, and saluted and thanked the more than a dozen people who had taken refuge.
For Zamuhe and these dozen people, Ren Xiaoyao only valued Zamuhe at first. On the one hand, it is Zamuhe's strategy and courage, and on the other hand, it also values his potential -- Zamuhe's body has a dzi that is rare in the world! With this dzi, Zamuhe's future achievements will inevitably surpass ordinary people.
However, in the next few days, the other dozen or so people surprised Ren Xiaoyao. Each of these people's strength exceeds that of the Refining Body Realm, and they are all extremely insightful in terms of war planning, and their military talents are stronger than the other!
This makes Ren Xiaoyao feel like he has picked up a treasure: a group of people who are disgusted by Xiliang Kingdom and even want to be killed are a top talent!
After a detailed understanding, Ren Xiaoyao learned that these dozen or so people were all the same as Zamuhe, a hermit in the Xiliang Kingdom, and their sergeant strategies were all learned from him.
According to what Zamuhe said, each of the dozen or so of them had learned less than one-tenth of the "Panlong Layman," but they were already all talented generals! It was a pity that these dozen or so people had never met talents in Xiliang Kingdom, such as Zamuhe, who had only attained the position of centurion after ten years in the army, and could be described as depressed.
But when they come to Ren Xiaoyao, they can give full play to their talents!
