Chapter 308: Recruiting Junjie
Chapter 308: Recruiting Junjie
"Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!"
General Li's words made the former soldiers dare not retreat at all, but they already felt a little chill in their hearts.
The Shura army fired thousands of arrows in the front, and just by taking advantage of the heavy fog on the river, they were able to eliminate the enemy's 10,000 troops.
"General..."
"Stop making noise! This will use up all their arrows!"
The Shura army had stopped shooting arrows at this time.
"A, B, C, D, listen to my orders. Prepare your swords!"
The Shura soldiers standing closest to the river obeyed the order and passed the bows and arrows backwards. The people behind them also passed them quickly. The front row raised swords and waited for the first enemy troops to land.
"Listen to my orders, Wu, Ji, Geng, and Xin. Prepare the munitions! Block the enemy in the rear!"
After passing the bows and arrows in the middle, the Shura army collectively circled from the left to the rear, with oil artillery placed behind them.
"Ren Gui, listen to my orders. Retreat back to the city walls and shoot arrows to stop the enemies on the river!"
Mr. Ying personally commanded the battle on the city wall, Chu Yao led the Shura Army to fight in the front, and the twelve guards were scattered in different teams to command the battle. The first batch of enemy troops who survived the crossing of the river had just landed, and before they could gain a foothold, they were killed by the Shura Army by surprise. Four Shura armies surrounded the dock, but the dock seemed particularly small, and the Shura Army behind was almost bored to the point of putting down their swords and resting on the spot.
Chu Yao, who had been chopping for an unknown amount of time, began to pant a little, perhaps because he had not practiced martial arts for a long time. He put down the knife and took a breath, then waved his hand.
"The brothers at the back have made up for it, let's switch! The ones in front have a break, don't get too tired."
The Shura soldiers at the back became excited when they heard this, and they all picked up their swords and rushed forward. Some of the Shura soldiers in the front were reluctant to retreat, but were patted on the shoulders by their companions behind them.
"Give me a chance bro!"
On the other side of the river, the situation was completely different.
The arms brigade has already fired artillery at the other side of the river. Although there is a certain distance between the two sides, the mechanical skills that Mr. Ying is so proud of are not exaggerated.
The artillery fire fell on the other side of the river. Some unlucky enemy soldiers had just stepped onto the boat when they were blown into the river or onto the shore. The luckier ones managed to get on the boat, but they still had to go to the river to catch arrows with their bare hands.
"General! The fog has not completely dissipated yet, and we still don't know the situation on the other side of the river, but it is obvious that we are at a disadvantage! I request that you order the entire army to retreat, preserve some of our forces, and make long-term plans!"
General Li was furious after hearing this. He held a knife in his right hand and grabbed the general's collar with his left hand, pulled him to his side and glared at him, but he couldn't say anything to refute. He thought this expedition was a good job! Tai'an hadn't noticed before that Musiguo and Miaojiang had borrowed the road.
Suddenly General Li thought of something and turned to look at Teng Qiao and others.
"It's you! You must have tipped off the people! Otherwise, how could the people of Tai'an have noticed it? "
Teng Qiao was confused.
"What? General Li, you can't frame us. We in Miaojiang are counting on you to defeat Tai'an's army and help us expand our territory. How could you betray you!?"
"Hmph! Save this for your conversation with our Emperor!"
General Li threw the pot away and turned to look at the river again.
"General, give the order quickly!"
"..."
General Li hesitated for a moment, but finally had to give the order.
"All troops, listen up! Retreat three kilometers and rest!"
When the soldiers who had not yet boarded the ship heard this, it was as if they had heard the emperor grant amnesty to the world. The soldiers who had just been forced to board the ship also jumped off the ship, tumbling and crawling.
General Li saw everything, snorted coldly, and turned away under the escort of his elite troops, leaving only the young general who had been begging him for orders to clean up the mess.
On the other side, on Chu Yao's side, the remaining enemy troops discovered that no follow-up troops had landed, and they knew that their companions behind them had retreated.
"stop!"
Chu Yao stood on a big rock not far from the shore and shouted loudly.
"Do you still want to fight?"
The dozens of surrounded enemy soldiers looked at each other, looking terrified and ready to be slaughtered.
"I'm asking you, Cang Yan!"
The enemy then realized that the spirited young man in front of them was asking them. It was obvious that Chu Yao also wanted to give these abandoned people a way out.
"Soldiers of Cangyan, swear to be loyal to Cangyan until death!"
One of the Cangyan soldiers suddenly raised his broken sword and shouted, but the next second he was chopped to pieces by the Shura Army.
"Is there anyone else who wants to swear allegiance until death? I'll grant your wish!"
The remaining soldiers had only fear in their eyes, originally there might have been an intact body, but now it was likely that the man couldn't even pick out a large piece of his body.
When the first person began to put down his knife, the others also put down their weapons one after another.
"Hey~ That's right! What's the point of swearing allegiance until death? Only those who know the current situation can be heroes. Besides, you are not traitors, it is your generals who abandoned you first. Even if you die for the country, you can't change the war. But think about your parents and family members. Your life and death will have a great impact on them."
Chu Yao made those dozens of soldiers cry with just a few words, and they began to complain bitterly about General Li and Cang Yanguo.
"Eh? What's going on? Okay, Yunlou, take them back to the city and tell us. The more details the better! They are the heroes we want to recruit~"
Yun Lou curled his lips. He was asked to do this troublesome task again! "
Boundary Canyon
Just as the two armies were facing each other, an eagle flew in from outside the valley, circled in the sky for a while, and then landed on Yun Feng's arm.
Pang Hong and Hu Cheng were shocked.
"Tai'an has mastered the art of falconry!?"
Yun Feng took the small bamboo tube from the eagle's claws and handed the note inside to his master: It's so easy, so simple
Xiao Zuochen curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Pang Hong and Hu Cheng below with a smile. Pang Hong had already guessed it from his expression.
"It's over, General Li is defeated!"
"what?"
Hu Cheng was stunned. Didn't they say they would attack Tai'an by surprise? How did they lose?
Chu Yao below looked at Xiao Zuochen. Xiao Zuochen nodded at him. He then raised his hand to his face and then tore off the human skin mask on his face.
"This...you are not Chu Yao?"
"Of course, Master Chu led the Shura Army back to Wangyan City to fight with you Cangyan. In order to confuse you and make you think that the master did not see through your plan, he asked me to pretend to be Master Chu."
"...As expected, Prince Yun is extremely wise and brave. We cannot match him. It is worth losing. But, Your Highness Prince Yun, can you please have a word with me?"
Xiao Zuochen was stunned and looked around.
"What do you want to say?"
Pang Hong lowered his head, and then spoke with some pleading words.
"Your Majesty, please come down and talk. I have something to tell you."
"Master, you must not do this!"
Yun Feng objected, but Xiao Zuochen raised his hand to interrupt him.
"It's nothing. Come with me. With you here, why should I worry that he might want to eat me?"
Yun Feng thought so too and followed him obediently.
