Chapter 210: The Strength of the Wounded

In the face of the many wounded, Ling Xiao did not flicker, but told the truth, "What are the wounded? For some people, it is a burden, a burden, when you escape, you can imagine taking the wounded with you, once something happens, the result can only be that your father dies and your mother marries, everyone takes care of everyone, if you stay, I promise not to abandon anyone." ”

Yes, the wounded are not fools, those who are slightly injured are better, but what about those who hurt their legs? Even if they don't hurt their legs, they can't do vigorous exercise if they hurt their chests or something, they can't run and can't run, and if they want to keep up with the team, they have to score two or three people to take care of themselves, can those leaders do it?

In fact, just thinking with their buttocks, the wounded also know what kind of choice the leader will make, because such things have happened more than once or twice. Not to mention the distance, let's just say that now, several leaders did not send people to pick up the wounded at all, but ran away early with their uninjured men.

Even if there were so many leaders who came over, they just wanted to pick up a few lightly wounded people, as for the injured who lost their athletic ability, not to mention some small organizations, even if they were as huge as the Sword of Freedom, they didn't even send anyone to pick them up, and they said very well that these wounded were handed over to Ling Xiao.

Therefore, almost all the wounded were listening carefully to what Ling Xiao said, trying to find such a way to survive from these words that sounded quite reliable.

Ling Xiao looked at the wounded listening carefully, and his voice couldn't help but rise by three points, "Everyone, in my Ling Xiao's eyes, the wounded are the elite of a team, only the bravest in battle, the most daring to fight and dare to rush will be injured, just imagine how a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is willing to let himself be injured, in my opinion, the wound is a man's medal!"

Such words simply speak to the bottom of the hearts of these wounded, indeed. These wounded are all the number one thugs known as macho men in various organizations, and if they don't fight hard, how can they be injured in the battle of 3,000 against hundreds of people.

And Ling Xiao still has some words that are inconvenient to say, only these people who have really faced blood and fought face-to-face with the enemy on the battlefield of blood and fire are worthy of being called warriors, and among the more than 400 wounded, there are nearly 100 people who are only slightly injured, and after three days of maintenance, there is no problem at all to fight again.

There are only fifty or sixty people who are really seriously injured and unable to act, that is to say, although they cannot fight in front of the battle, there are still more than 240 people who can still act, in the eyes of the leaders of all forces. These people are completely a drag, but in Ling Xiao's eyes, these people are also combat effectiveness, don't forget, Ling Xiao ransacked the armory of Luoyunyi, there are nearly a thousand crossbow machines alone, and crossbow arrows are enough to squander casually.

No matter how heavy the wound is, you still have the strength to pull the trigger and shoot a crossbow arrow, and you don't need to aim very accurately. A covering salvo alone would inflict a large number of casualties on the enemy.

Therefore, although all forces fled one after another, Ling Xiao had made up his mind to stay in Luoyun Station, and no one knew more about the pathways of the Death Swamp than Ling Xiao and Su Qing. Without the protection of Luoyun Station, there is no place to hide in the entire passage, not to mention that there are large armies in front and back to encircle and suppress, trying to find a better place than Luoyun Station. That's a fool's dream.

In Ling Xiao's plan, this incident is the time for the underground forces to reshuffle, and these wounded in front of him are his greatest confidence.

It's just an hour and a half. There were already people in the Luoyun Station, and there was no one except Ling Xiao, Su Qing, Jiang Xian and the wounded, and Ling Xiao's real hole cards began to be opened one after another.

Sixteen giant crossbows were placed in a row on the walls of the post station, followed by pairs of armor taken out and distributed.

The lightly wounded who received the armor looked at these gorgeous and sturdy armors in disbelief, and they couldn't believe their eyes, it was the highest standard of full-body armor in the army, and it was the kind for heavy cavalry.

It is important to know that the hoplites often have to deal with a strong formation of infantry formations, such as the spears of the forest, the strong shields, and the concentrated fire of the archers in the rear, so their armor can cover the whole body correspondingly, and it is extremely thick.

Originally, this kind of armor was worn on the body, and without the horses to travel, there was no need to have any mobility at all, but this combat mission was not to protect the Luoyun Station, and there was no need to move at all. Moreover, in order to make these wounded more labor-saving, Ling Xiao also ingeniously equipped each lightly wounded person who received the armor with a wooden bracket, which was actually a trapezoidal wooden stick, with one end on the ground and the other behind the waist, which was quite labor-saving.

For the more seriously injured wounded, there is only one kind of weapon, that is, a hand crossbow, the range is only more than 300 meters, and the accurate head is not as good as a bow and arrow, but it can't stand a large number of people, more than 240 crossbow archers, and the rain of arrows shot is enough to cover the road in front of and behind the post station.

And for these more than 240 wounded, Ling Xiao didn't plan to let them go up to the city wall at all, just gather in the courtyard of the post station, as long as Ling Xiao gave an order, specified the angle and timing of the shot, it was completely blind shooting, this kind of work, these wounded can still hold on.

And the position of Luoyunyi is also quite a good location for the defending side, although there are passages in front and behind, but this passage is not wide, especially on the side near the border, it is at the entrance of the Death Swamp, and even can only accommodate two carriages walking side by side, there are sixteen giant crossbows and Su Qing to defend, plus fifty lightly wounded people wearing armor is enough.

What really needs to be paid attention to is the officers and soldiers on the side of Linhai City, but with those forces scattered by all sides to attract the enemy's attention, I am afraid that there will not be many troops that are really used to attack Luoyun Station.

The situation has been thoroughly explained, weapons and equipment have been distributed to the wounded, and those who are anxious have begun to put arrows on their crossbows, and everyone understands that it depends on whether they live or die.

Not to mention the Luoyun Station, which was about to stop, the leaders of the various forces who ran out only ran out of less than sixty miles before they ran head-on into the officers and soldiers of Linhai City, and at this time, the officers and soldiers of Linhai City had already joined forces, and eight thousand people rushed up in black, and the visual pressure alone made the confidence of these rabble collapse. Some of the cowards even fled without a fight, turned around and ran towards Luoyunyi.

No one expected the officers and soldiers to come so fast, most of the imagination, the strength of the officers and soldiers to pursue has not been large, they rested in the Luoyun Post for three or five days, the wounded were well injured, and they left immediately, then it was really the sky high and the sea was wide and I could go to the rivers and lakes, but who knows, the news of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers has just come, and it is only then that they ran out of such a distance and met the officers and soldiers, even the most treacherous and cunning leader is a burst of regret, and it is better to stay in the Luoyun Post like Ling Xiao.

However, if the two armies meet, if they turn around and run, they will definitely die without a place to be buried, and these leaders will still fight if they are combined, but they can only fight and retreat, as long as they retreat to Luoyunyi.

I had the idea of retreating in my heart, and the fight was fought, but how could it be compared to the officers and soldiers of Linhai City who had made meritorious contributions and had high morale, and the situation was only a little better than a direct rout, and people were constantly killed by officers and soldiers, which also made the bandit coalition army no longer have any morale, and finally simply threw the guy in his hand, pulled his legs and ran, anyway, when he left, he saw quite clearly, Ling Xiao still had a lot of good weapons there.

In this way, the bandit coalition army was defeated as soon as they came into contact, scattered and defeated, and rushed towards Luoyunyi, not to mention the fight on the other side, maybe these people were a little weaker, but this girl ran away and really didn't cover it, and the officers and soldiers of Linhai City only chased after them to eat soil.

Of course, there are also reasons why the bandits are completely lightly armed in this situation, but this also has a lot to do with the legs and feet that the bandits have trained in the perennial escape.

However, when the bandits who ran faster and faster retreated to Luoyun Station, their hearts were half cold, not to mention the closed city gates, just the wounded soldiers who stood on the city wall with armor and pointed at them with cold arrows made these defeated soldiers dare not act rashly.

Moreover, the seven or eight bloody corpses on the ground in front of them showed that the wounded soldiers on the city wall were not pretentious, but really dared to attack.

Luoyunyi can't enter, and the chasing soldiers behind him are afraid that they will catch up in a few moments, and the defeated soldiers under the city wall are really a little anxious, especially the leaders of some forces have begun to scold, saying everything, and the most scolded is of course Ling Xiao's wolf heart and dog lungs.

However, Ling Xiao pushed them back with a word, in fact, Ling Xiao and they were all abandoned by the big team, and if you want to say anything more about favors at this time, don't even think about it.

Of course, Ling Xiao's goal is not to see death without help, but to take the opportunity to recover this group of defeated soldiers under the city, don't look at these wolves at the moment, but they really have to be used well, and they are not inferior to the officials and queens of Linhai City, at least they will be a few layers higher in cultivation.

Facing the abuse of the leaders of all parties, Ling Xiao spoke leisurely, "Don't say that I Ling Xiao doesn't give me a chance, if you want to enter the city, you can accept my incorporation." ”

As soon as the words came out, the leaders of the city scolded even more, they were all old in the rivers and lakes, who didn't know that the troops at hand at this time were the hope of survival, and some people directly scolded Ling Xiao for not beating the officers and soldiers to beat his own people.

Since Ling Xiao wanted to subdue these people, of course he would not just say good things, not be prestigious, his keen hearing instantly caught the person who scolded him, without saying a word, his arm was extended, and the spiritual power string appeared, and a wind feather arrow was already shot out, almost at the same time as the scolding fell, the wind feather arrow also accurately hit his throat, and he died in the crowd on the spot.

With this arrow, the people under the city really understood that it was no longer their so-called leader who was in control of the situation at this time, but Ling Xiao, who had the support of the fully armed wounded.

Suddenly, under the city wall, people were gloomy for a while, and they no longer dared to hurt people at will, but under the pressure of death, after all, there was still a trembling voice that asked everyone's heart, that is, what to do, Ling Xiao would give everyone a chance to live.
