Generally speaking, this kind of blackmail on the battlefield is unlikely to be effective.
Whether it is the Nanliang Frontier Army or the Northern Wei Frontier Army, after any chief general dies in battle, his deputy general will take over as soon as possible. If the deputy general dies in battle, the lower-level general will take over.
Compared with the Southern Dynasties, most of the troops in the Northern Wei Dynasty were particularly tough. If such a situation occurred and the general was captured, it was very likely that the general would give an order and the archery army would directly fire arrows and kill him directly to avoid shaking the morale of the army.
.
However, this army is obviously not a normal frontier army.
A normal Northern Wei frontier army would never abuse precious arrows like this, and it is absolutely impossible for an army to consist mostly of archers.
If it weren't for a normal army, such a blackmail might be effective.
Just as Lin Yi hoped.
When his voice rang out on this hillside, there was no sound of arrows piercing the air.
An army composed almost entirely of archers, fighting without arrows is no different than cutting off both hands.
The Tie Ce army charged above, and the Southern Dynasty army counterattacked below. The Northern Wei archers on the hillside did not know how to fight back, and were immediately defeated.
These Northern Wei soldiers fled toward the mountains and forests on both sides, but they obviously did not dare to flee far.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yi placed the Northern Wei general on a rock.
This Northern Wei general fell down and sat down. His face was as white as a sheet due to a large amount of blood loss. However, he was at least a practitioner of the Ming Palace realm, and his vitality was much stronger than ordinary people. He would definitely not die directly from such an injury.
"I am King Baosheng."
The Northern Wei general looked at Lin Yi, his eyes were a little confused, a little frightened, and a little resentful.
"King Baosheng?"
Lin Yi was shocked. He had been with the military since he was a child, and he knew the official system of the Northern Wei Dynasty very well. The Southern Dynasty was different from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Some people in the Southern Liang Dynasty who had established enough military merits could also be crowned kings. However, most of the power of this kind of crowning of generals and ministers was only
It is equivalent to the governor of a state, and some are even worse.
But the Northern Wei Dynasty was different. There were very few kings with different surnames in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Almost all the kings of the Northern Wei Dynasty were relatives of the king.
Judging by common sense, if the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the battlefield, it would be absolutely impossible for him to follow him with such strength.
"Who are you from the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Lin Yi couldn't believe it. He looked at this man and said coldly.
"I am his ninth brother."
The Northern Wei general hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said.
"Xue Jiu!"
Lin Yi turned sideways, and at this time Xue Jiu and others had already rushed down from above and rushed to his side.
"Have you ever heard that there was a King Baosheng in the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Lin Yi asked directly without caring about the feelings of the Northern Wei general.
Xue Jiu couldn't even breathe. He wanted to speak but couldn't. He coughed violently.
"I haven't heard of it." Xue Jiubian replied while coughing, and then he coughed violently again.
In just this moment, the army of the Southern Dynasty below had already rushed up the hillside, but the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which retreated to the mountains and forests on both sides, never left. Two people actually walked out of the forest, raising their hands to show that they had no weapons.
Come forward.
"Are you Tiecejun?"
The Nanchao sergeant who rushed up from below had already recognized the attire of Xue Jiu and others.
"Are you guys?"
Lin Yi was stunned when he saw the dozen or so young people rushing to the front.
These young men were slightly older than him, did not wear the standard military armor, and were not practitioners, but their skills were much better than those of ordinary soldiers, and they were obviously proficient in martial arts.
"We are students from Liutong College in Liutong County, Rongzhou, and they are the government troops of Liutong County."
"Liutong County?"
Xue Jiu sneered.
The prefect of the county is ranked in the tenth class, and he has a lot of weight. Logically speaking, he should be capable of running the army, but this army looks almost the same as the soldiers of some wealthy merchants.
These young people clearly saw the change in Xue Jiu's expression, and their eyes were full of anger for a moment.
They were called to join the army and naturally had little battle experience. However, even if they understood the situation just now, they would naturally have to fight to the rear with certain casualties to break out of the encirclement.
However, the general of this army, Gao Ce, delayed issuing military orders, just because he was afraid that if he retreated, he would be completely dispersed.
This is just a typical battle without bravery, and she just wants to comfort herself with numbers.
"King Baosheng?"
"Could he be King Baosheng?"
At this moment, several of the Nanchao sergeants behind these young people exclaimed.
The two people quickly separated from the crowd, their armors jingling, and they eagerly squeezed in.
Looking at these two people, the students from the sixth grade college all had expressions of hatred on their faces.
These two generals wearing lock plate armor are Gao Ce, the leader of this army, and Zhao Langsiao, the military advisor.
"See you, sir." Seeing the clothes and armor of these two people, Xue Jiu had to bow and salute, although there was still a sneer on his face.
Lin Yi also bowed slightly and saluted.
He is also very familiar with the military official system.
These two people have tiger talisman patterns on their armor. After the change of dynasty, those with talisman marks on their bodies are the generals of the twelfth class. They can already command thousands of troops, and they can also use local rankings to compare
They are lowly military attachés.
Xue Jiu and himself were several levels behind the official positions of these two generals.
Hierarchy is the most important thing in the army. No matter how low-level generals look down on the generals above them, they must obey orders.
"You are Tie Cejun, you have done a good job."
Gao Ce looked very majestic, at least half a head taller than Lin Yi, with a square face and a burly figure. Seeing Lin Yi, Xue Jiu and others saluting, he waved his hand and smiled, "Your fighting methods are reasonable and cooperative.
Our Sixth Army has achieved such a great victory, I will definitely help you report it."
Hearing this sentence, Lin Yi's heart was not very shaken, but Xue Jiu and other iron soldiers were furious and dared not speak out.
This kind of statement is obviously a grab for battle merit, and the main credit will be attributed to oneself.
In the situation just now, if Lin Yi had not taken a huge risk to rush into the enemy army and seize the commander, the entire army led by Gao Ce would have been completely destroyed, and there would be no military merit.
At the same time, the students from the sixth college also became more angry and cursed shamelessly in their hearts.
"Tell me, are you really King Baosheng? How can you prove it?"
However, Gao Ce did not say much to them, and jumped up to the Northern Wei general, calling for help to stop the bleeding.
Just by his leap, Lin Yi could tell that he was not a practitioner.
The Northern Wei general gritted his teeth, his head still hanging, but he picked it off his waist, and there was already a gold seal hanging on his finger.
This gold seal is only the size of a thumbnail, but the seal is very delicate. It is a long-lived turtle.
"Golden Turtle King Talisman!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Gao Ce was overjoyed and said three things in a row, "With this golden seal, even if you are not King Baosheng."
This sentence is even more embarrassing.
Any smart person can understand what he means.
This royal seal proves that even if this person is not King Baosheng, if he kills him with one sword, he can be said to have killed King Baosheng and receive the reward according to his merits.
The faces of the young students from the sixth college were as gloomy as water. Some of them couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and spat hard.
"Stop, what do you want to do?"
Gao Ce shouted again, and the two Northern Wei sergeants who came empty-handed were already less than fifty steps away from them.
"Let him go, and we will ensure you leave safely."
A Northern Wei sergeant spoke up, his voice extremely cold.
Lin Yi recognized the armor on his body. He should be one of the guards holding the black shield just now.
"How dare you speak like this now that your Baosheng King is in our hands?" Gao Ce laughed fiercely.
"If he dies, we won't be able to survive. If he doesn't allow it, we will drag you to be buried with him." The Northern Wei sergeant took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Gao Ce.
Gao Ce felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and his smile suddenly disappeared.
"Sir, please allow me to ask you a few questions before making a decision." Lin Yi paused and then added softly, "What will happen then, it is up to you to decide. I, Tie Cejun, still have military affairs to attend to, so I don't care.
I'm sorry to share more of the credit with you, sir."
Lin Yi couldn't make it more clear.
Gao Ce only had military merit in his heart, but for him, he was more concerned about why this man dared to be so confident here as if he were hunting.
