Su Letian smiled bitterly when he said this: "So once the battle is fought, as long as the situation is slightly wrong, they will probably be afraid and the battle will not be fought."
"Finally, this time the Generalissimo of Zhao State came with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he was far more numerous than us, so we really have no chance of winning this time."
Ning Changping and Ning Guzhou had fought many battles, and she knew that it was definitely not easy to defeat more with less on the battlefield.
When Ning Guzhou and Linyuan fought, if he wanted to win with less than he had, Ning Guzhou had to make extremely careful arrangements, which was not easy.
Not to mention the ones Su Letian analyzed earlier, they don't seem to have much chance of winning this battle.
She asked him: "Then shall we still fight this battle?"
Su Letian's face was full of solemnity: "Whether there is a war at this time is not decided by us, but by them."
"One hundred thousand of Zhao's elite troops are ahead. In this situation, we have no chance of winning."
They have too few troops and too many people. If a fight breaks out at this time, these people will be in bad luck.
Ning Changping asked him: "What should we do now?"
Su Letian looked at her and said, "If we just abandon these people and leave, we can all survive."
"They are all citizens of Zhao State. Zhao Yan should not embarrass them too much."
Ning Changping's eyes widened: "On our way from Guiqian, we have seen many corpses lying on the roadside."
"If they really cared about the lives and deaths of the people, they wouldn't let them die on the roadside."
"If we abandon these people, they will probably die."
Su Letian's eyes deepened: "So you want to take these people with you?"
Ning Changping also knew that this matter was difficult, so he asked: "Is it okay?"
Su Letian felt a little embarrassed when he met her expectant eyes.
In essence, the people of Zhao State are not their responsibility, and they can not care whether these people live or die.
But these people are here because of them.
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's do our best!"
Although Ning Changping has witnessed war, she has always been simple-minded.
In addition, she fought behind Ning Guzhou and was always the winning side, so she never thought about what would happen if she lost.
So three days later, when their group was beaten to a pulp by Zhao's 100,000-strong army, and the people were brutally killed by the soldiers, she was still a little unable to recover.
It was also at this moment that Ning Changping realized how terrible the war was and how tragic the defeat was for the defeated side!
In the past few days, she had also seen with her own eyes what efforts Su Letian had made to save these people.
But everything was very close to Su Letian's analysis. Although those soldiers fought desperately against the army, they were no match for the army.
No matter how Su Letian deployed them or stimulated their potential, they could not do their best like Qinzhou's soldiers.
When they really couldn't defeat them, their morale plummeted and they surrendered directly.
It's just that they were bandits. Even if they surrendered, in the eyes of Zhao's generals, they were still rebels.
Those who rebel against the Party shall be punished!
Ning Changping saw with her own eyes that the surrendered soldiers were beheaded by Zhao's generals, and her mind was buzzing.
She was about to rush forward with the knife in her hand, but Su Letian held her back: "Changping, you can't go there!"
He had just seen that a military formation had been formed over there. If they went there, no matter how high Ning Changping's martial arts skills were and how good he was in fighting, he would be strangled by the military formation.
He had already suffered serious injuries in order to respond to her, and the wounds on his body were still dripping with blood.
Ning Changping was very strong, so it was not difficult to break free from Su Letian's hand, but at this moment, she couldn't break free.
She looked at Su Letian and asked, "Why do they kill even their own people?"
Su Letian's eyes dimmed: "Because in their eyes, these people are traitors and rebels against the Party, and those who rebel against the Party should be killed."
Ning Changping asked him: "Is it the same as when my brother and I escaped from the palace in order to survive, but my father wanted to kill us?"
That matter was a pain in Ning Changping's heart, and she wouldn't mention it anytime soon.
Su Letian thought for a moment, nodded and said: "There are some differences, but they are essentially the same."
Ning Changping asked again: "If we had not established this village, although these people would have lived in poverty, they would not have died like this? Right?"
Su Letian's eyes narrowed slightly and he said softly: "If they had not come to seek refuge with us, no matter how perverted Zhao Yan was, he would not have used a butcher's knife to kill ordinary people."
"But in order to defeat Zhao Ye, he imposed exorbitant taxes. The people simply couldn't afford it, and they would become corpses on the roadside."
"Although they won't die so quickly, they will suffer more."
Ning Changping's eyes were red. She knew what Su Letian said was true, but she still felt very sad.
Because in the final analysis, this cottage was built because of her playful temperament.
She had heard Tang Miaoxin talk about being a bandit before, and she thought it was quite fun, so she wanted to try it too.
But after she tried it, she found that this thing was not fun, on the contrary, it was extremely difficult.
Because whether it is dealing with the government's suppression, settling the people who come to seek refuge, or training soldiers, it is all a technical job.
She can't do any of these things well.
She used to think that she could handle the government's killings and could protect ordinary people with a knife.
But when the Zhao army swept in, she realized that her power alone was very limited.
No matter how good she is at fighting, she will be overwhelmed when she rushes into a lethal military formation.
If Su Letian hadn't led a group of guards to fight hard and fight his way out to rescue her, she might have been killed by the huge military formation.
This was an experience she had never had before. When she was in Qinzhou before, she would charge in front and the people behind her could keep up.
But this time she found that it was difficult for the soldiers behind her to keep up with her pace, and they were quickly separated and killed.
At this time, she finally understood one thing, that is, the soldiers who followed her back then were the most powerful soldiers in Qinzhou.
Ning Guzhou knew that she would rush forward if she started a fight. He tried his best to keep her safe.
In the past, Ning Changping never thought about these things. She always thought that it was because of her own strength that she could do these things.
Although Su Letian gave all the most capable soldiers in the village to Ning Changping, those soldiers had only been trained for a few months.
No matter what, they cannot compare with Ning Guzhou's hard-trained and experienced soldiers.
