Chapter 15: Encirclement
Coming out of the cave, Li Tai and Lin Sha returned to the barracks.
In order to keep the secret, Lin Duxue was arranged in the cave, and with her current strength, under the urging flying sword, it is estimated that only the innate master can oppose her.
And the innate masters of the Blood Moon Valley are at most two, the Great General and the King of Wu, Wu Ba!
As soon as he returned to the barracks, Li Tai was summoned by his adoptive father.
At this time, the general had a solemn look on his face, looked at Li Tai and ordered:
"Wu Guo attacked me before, and he suffered a lot of losses."
"Recently, spies reported that a part of Wu's army was transferred."
"Right now, there are less than two thousand soldiers on the other side of the Blood Moon Valley, so it's an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack."
"Tiger father has no dog son, as my righteous son, I want you to lead the vanguard army, bypass the mountain, and eat the two thousand defenders."
"When the time comes, I will also respond to you from this side and try to kill them all."
"In this way, you can be regarded as having military exploits in the frontier, and it is natural to marry a talented woman from the country."
Lead people around behind each other and then go around and kill them.
It's a good idea, and if it works well, it's perfect.
But as soon as the other party finds them, then this siege becomes suicide!
Under the flanking attacks from both sides, it is estimated that before Li Tai and the others can react, they will all be shot!
It's just that looking at the appearance of his father-in-law, this task is considered a strong faction, and disobedience is not good at all.
Li Tai did not have the slightest reluctance at this time, and immediately opened his mouth to promise:
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely strangle them all this time!"
"Okay, come back this time, your father-in-law will definitely give you credit!"
After laughing, he sighed, looking unbearable.
"I know it may be a bit rushed, but you are also considerate and considerate of your father-in-law, after all, your identity is a pioneer, you have been here for more than a month, and you are not in the barracks most of the time!"
"The subordinate soldiers have a lot of complaints about this, and I have nothing to do."
"It's dangerous on the surface, but I've planned it all and there's nothing wrong with that."
"The father-in-law is too worried, the child came to the army to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, how can he stay in the barracks all the time."
"Actually, when I came back this time, I came to ask for war."
"Okay, good, my father-in-law didn't mistake you, go back and prepare well, and take the opportunity to set off tonight!"
"Those 1,000 people don't have to return to the team after this battle, and in the future, they will all listen to your orders, and they will be regarded as gifts from your father-in-law!"
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Leaving the military tent, Li Tai's expression immediately became gloomy.
The last time he was hunted down, this stepfather didn't save himself.
This time, arranging for him to risk his life, Li Tai felt that there was a very high probability of a trap.
In case someone spreads the news that they are going to sneak attack to Wu Guo's side, I am afraid that they will be surrounded by others before they have been surrounded by others.
Thinking like this, Li Tai couldn't help but be full of contemplation.
Lin Sha, who was following beside him, saw that there was no one around, and immediately spoke:
"Major General, I feel that the general is difficult for a strong man!"
"If something goes wrong, then we are killing ourselves!"
"I know that, but we don't have a choice."
"Let's go see the soldiers first!"
It was only a moment's effort, and the soldiers who followed Li Tai's sneak attack were already ready.
They have been placed outside the barracks, ready to go at any moment.
It's just that after seeing these people, Li Tai's eyes sank in an instant, and Lin Sha next to him couldn't help it, and he was instantly furious.
Before he could speak, he was stopped by Li Tai!
"Major General, look at the soldiers they gave us, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, how can this be fought!"
"Even if I haven't learned to fight, I know that the equipment for sneak attacks should be a bow and crossbow!"
"Look at them, wooden shield broadsword, this is going to sneak attack, or to send them to death!"
At a glance, the number of people is indeed not a small number of people.
However, there are 100,000 soldiers stationed in the Blood Moon Valley in both countries, and a thousand sneak attacks can only be the elite of the elite.
But these people, most of them veterans, many of them have gray hair, and there are less than two hundred teenagers, and their strength is simply not enough.
Take these people to fight, and send them to death is almost the same.
As for the twenty to forty-year-olds, there are only a few, and they are all skinny, as if they have been abused.
It was not easy for the general to gather this group of veterans for him, and he gave them all to him as a personal guard, I am afraid that they were given to him for his funeral.
At this time, these people also seemed to know what they were about to face, and one by one they were depressed, and only those veterans regarded death as home.
Li Tai's eyes swept around and shouted:
"All the soldiers obey the order, and those under the age of twenty will be listed!"
Hearing this, nearly two hundred teenagers stood in front of Li Tai, looking at these immature and frightened faces, Li Tai opened his mouth and said:
"Do you think that you will die this time, that's why you look dead!"
"If you have this thought, you will surely die."
"Now I ask you, what are you people here for?"
"It's to defend the country!"
The young man at the front spoke firmly, and when he heard this, many veterans showed mockery in their eyes.
Hearing this, Li Tai sneered equally and shouted angrily:
"Nonsense!"
"Are you soldiers to defend your family and country, for yourself!"
As he spoke, his tone paused, and he continued:
"In the beginning, you were just a soldier to eat, and when you were full, you wanted military pay, and if you died in battle, there was a pension."
"Can anyone tell me how much your pension is?"
"It's fifty taels!"
It was still the young man who spoke, and at this time everyone else showed puzzled looks, why did they get the pension?
Hearing this, Li Tai slowly spoke:
"I'll calculate an account for you, a piece of baked bread is two cents, and one tael of silver is equal to one hundred cents, that is, you can buy fifty pieces of baked cakes, which is almost enough for one person to eat for a month, and fifty taels is five years."
"Five years later, there's nothing left!"
Speaking of this, Li Tai's eyes froze, and then Zheng Di said in a loud voice:
"Now it's different, you follow me, from now on each of you will have fifty taels of silver per month, and the one hundred people who have killed the most enemies will be rewarded with five hundred taels each."
"And the ten people who have killed the most enemies can be promoted to my personal guards, and I can also pass on the family exercises to you!"
"As long as you practice that exercise, I will guarantee that you will enter the third rate in five days, the second rate in one month, and the first-class in one year."
"If you are unfortunately dead, then I can tell you that there is no pension."
"I have prepared some bows and crossbows for you, and they are hidden in the mountains not far away, and you can come with me to get them!"
After saying that, he led everyone to the top of the mountain.
Lin Sha, on the other hand, went to the cave in advance, threaded the bow, crossbow, and shield together with hemp rope, and took as much as he could.
The people who originally had no hope suddenly became extremely excited when they heard that the monthly military salary would be fifty taels of silver, and that the first 100 people who killed the enemy in this battle would get 500 taels of silver, and that the top 10 would have more exercises to cultivate!
Even if that exercise can't make them advance to a first-class master, even if it's a second-rate little master, it's enough for them to use it for a lifetime.
Especially when he saw the bow and crossbow shield that Lin Sha brought, his confidence suddenly doubled!
Now their first thought is to survive, and then receive a military salary of fifty taels of silver every month.
If there is a chance to kill a few more people, it will be better to get the five hundred taels
As for whether the major general will break his promise, as long as the major general does not die, they can ask the general for it, and all the responsibility will be attributed to Li Tai, the major general.
For fear of being ambushed, Li Tai deliberately walked through the mountains and forests.
This will reduce the damage of the opponent's crossbowmen!
After a night of traveling, it was just to the top of the mountain, Li Tai was not in a hurry at this time, and directly arranged for everyone to rest in place.
As for the exploration, Li Tai did not, and now that the exploration alarms the Wu soldiers who are in ambush, it is very likely that the two sides will directly fall into a fight.
The other party waits for work, and he suffers a lot.
And Li Tai has no intention of retreating, there are too many people here, and there is no foundation here, Li Tai also wants to get some personal guards for himself.
It is also in the mountains and forests, but there is a group of Wu soldiers ambushed here.
At this time, the leading general looked at the startled lone bird in the distance, and couldn't help but show a smug smile.
When night fell again, Li Tai did not march immediately, but arranged for Lin Sha to open the way, and he led people to follow a hundred meters away.
Lin Sha, who strode forward, could be said to be extremely confident in his strength, even if it was a close-range crossbow arrow sneak attack, he could dodge.
I'm covered in rough skin and thick flesh, even if I get shot, it won't be too much of a problem.
Suddenly, Lin Sha was stunned and felt that there was danger around him.
"Woooo
Before he could take a closer look, three sharp arrows were shot head-on.
Lin Xu screamed, even if he fell to the ground.
Immediately after that, I heard a loud roar from the dense forest:
"Everyone, immediately surround and kill!"
"Crossbowman, aim and shoot!"
"Block the back, you can't let them escape!"
In an instant, dense figures rushed out of the surroundings, and they had already surrounded Li Tai's thousand people.
Everyone was immediately shocked, but when they saw Li Tai's expression unchanged, they shouted:
"Everyone is gathered together, two layers of shield defense, crossbowmen aim and shoot, and when they get close, the inner and outer layers of defense alternately slash and slash!"
"Don't mess around, there aren't many of them!"
"Even if you die, I'll be with you!"
As soon as Li Tai let out an angry roar, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and sharp arrows were shot at the shield.
Except for a few who were unlucky, the others were unharmed.
The soldiers of Wu who were in ambush around immediately rushed over, and seeing that they had entered the shooting distance, Li Tai gave an order, and crossbow arrows were shot out one after another.
These people gathered around, and some of the crossbowmen did not have shields and were naturally shot.
At this moment, Lin Sha, who had already fallen to the ground, suddenly jumped up, rushed into the crowd close at hand, and swept the mace in his hand, smashing a large piece of air.
Then it was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, smashing those people away!
Originally, it was a crescent-shaped encirclement, but it was cut off by Lin Sha in the middle.
Seeing that Lin Sha was unstoppable, the general commanding in the distance was suddenly furious and shouted:
"The soldiers on both sides must not hesitate, immediately surround and kill!"
"In the middle area, kill this reckless man for me!"
"Bow and crossbow gather together, aim and shoot!"
