Buzz! There was a loud sound of bowstrings. Dozens of archers hiding behind had already bent their bows and were waiting. After the order was given, the bows and arrows shot out like rain. Although there were only more than forty archers here, these two
The distance of less than ten steps is enough for the bow and arrow to exert its maximum effectiveness. When shooting at close range, the opponent's formation is dense, and the arrows are almost useless. After two rounds of arrow rain, the bandits killed and injured nearly fifty people. The person who was hit by the arrow
Rolling on the ground, wailing.
Zhang Kang cursed and urged loudly. The bandits could only rush forward. The distance of twenty steps was only enough for the opponent to shoot two rounds of arrows. The follow-up was a hand-to-hand fight, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Array of three and three, kill!" Lin Jue shouted sharply in front of the bandits coming like a tide.
One hundred and eighty Luoyan Army soldiers heard the sound and moved into action, forming a three-man battle formation. Using swords, shields and spears at both near and far, this was a tactic they had practiced every day for more than a month, and now they were finally used in actual combat.
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing drew an archer to form a battle formation and rushed into the opponent's crowd. Gao Muqing took a shield and turned into a sword-and-shield pawn, specifically to cover Lin Jue and the archer, allowing the two of them to
Use the tortoise box to blast the opponent, and one of them shoots the opponent with an arrow. He kills all the way, with dead and injured people rolling behind him. During the meal, he kills and wounds dozens of people, and he is invincible.
The performance of the rest of the Luoyan Valley soldiers is also impressive. For more than a month, they have been scrambling and throwing on the training field every day, and have become quite proficient in practicing the three-three battle formations. Many of them still have some doubts in their hearts.
After all, training is training, and actual combat is actual combat. Maybe in actual combat, it may not be as useful as the military advisor demonstrated. But at this moment, they truly realized the power of this battle formation. They also truly understood the instructions written by the military advisor in the demonstration.
The meaning of the large slogan on the edge of the military field.
“Sweat more in training and bleed less in war.”
This slogan is simply a wise saying, because the soldiers of the Luoyan Army started a melee with their opponents and almost crushed them all the way. These people were also experienced in hundreds of battles, but never once did they feel that today's opponents were so weak and vulnerable.
.The Luoyan Army soldiers suffered only twenty casualties, but they had already crushed and killed nearly half of their opponents like a meat grinder.
What makes the bandits in Shiren Mountain even more frightening is that they were already at a disadvantage against the opponent. But they tried their best to use their weapons to attack the opponent, only to find that the opponent was unscathed. The only ones that were slashed were themselves.
The clothes, and the black armor was exposed under the tattered clothes. Many Luoyan Army soldiers simply tore their clothes to pieces after their clothes were tattered, revealing a complete set of standard armor. Seeing this scene, the bandits almost collapsed mentally.
What kind of group is this? Their number is obviously twice that of our own, but they are extremely powerful in combat. Moreover, they are wearing standard armor. The 500 guards in the bandit's main village in Shiren Mountain are actually very well equipped.
. Zuo Zongdao attacked the garrison of Shannan County and got a lot of various armors. There were some cloth armors, leather armors, chainmails and scales, and these armors were basically all equipped to the five hundred guards. It can be said that,
These five hundred people are the best equipped and most powerful in the Shiren Mountain stronghold. Looking at the major strongholds in Funiu Mountain, they are enough to be proud of themselves.
But now, they truly understand that compared with the people in front of them, the armor on their own is simply rubbish. In terms of equipment, they are not as good as the opponent, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they have hundreds of casualties in half a stick of incense, and the opponent's casualties are not enough.
20%, everyone knows that this battle cannot be fought. Many bandits have begun to flee, and they are about to be defeated. "Stop, brothers, stop! Armistice! Armistice!" Du Chengjiang shouted loudly: "
We have admitted defeat and can no longer fight."
Lin Jue shouted an order and the battle came to an abrupt end.
Zhang Kang was covered in blood and had been stabbed several times. But he was really lucky. These stabs only wounded his skin and did not kill him.
"Du Chengjiang, why did you admit defeat? We still have the strength to fight. We still have the strength to fight." Zhang Kang shouted.
Du Chengjiang frowned and sighed: "Brother Zhang, we lost. Look at the situation. Can't you see? We have already lost."
Zhang Kang looked back at the remaining two hundred or so men. Each of these men had a look of fear on their faces, their faces were pale, and their eyes looked like frightened rabbits, helpless. Looking at the battlefield, his brothers lay down for a while.
On the ground, some were motionless, while others were wailing and rolling, and it couldn't be more miserable. Zhang
"Brother Zhang, those who know the current affairs are heroes. We are no match for them. Their combat power and equipment are much higher than ours. Why let our brothers lose their lives? At this point, Shirenshan Dazhai has exhausted its strength and there is nothing we can do.
." Du Chengjiang shouted while swallowing his foam.
There was a dull pain in his shoulder. Just now, with the idea of capturing the thief and the king, he led a group of brothers to rush towards the group of Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, and almost died. Lin Jue's tortoise box was aimed at his
Face, when he thought he was about to die in a bloody mess like the others, the other party did not kill him, but just hit him on the shoulder with the firearm. Even so, the iron firearm
It almost broke his shoulder bone. But he knew that the other party spared his life.
Zhang Kang knew that what Du Chengjiang said was true, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
Du Chengjiang walked towards Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, and several Luoyan Army archers bent their bows and pointed arrows at him. Lin Jue waved his hand, and the archers lowered their bows and stepped aside. Du Chengjiang walked up to Lin Jue and Gao Muqing and bowed their hands in salute.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Du, for not killing us. We have surrendered. You can kill or chop us as you please. But please let me, my brothers, go."
Gao Muqing looked at him coldly and said: "Commander Du, isn't it too late to admit defeat now? I tried to persuade you just now, but you just didn't listen. Now you have not only killed dozens of your subordinates, but also caused us losses."
He killed more than 20 people. He is really stupid."
Du Chengjiang was speechless and sighed: "If you want to kill or chop me, you can do whatever you want. I have nothing to say."
Lin Jue said: "Where is Leader Zhang? Surrender or not?"
Du Chengjiang looked at Zhang Kang. Zhang Kang wanted to say a few harsh words, but finally sighed and said: "That's all, my skills are not as good as others, why bother to hurt the lives of my brothers. It's me, Zhang Kang, who doesn't know the limelight, so you guys killed me.
That is, don’t hurt my brothers.”
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Now you care about the lives of your brothers. Don't you have the dream of being the leader of your village?"
Zhang Kang was ashamed and speechless, and regretted endlessly in his heart. Just now, he was really tempted and wanted to be the leader of Shiren Mountain. It turned out that this was just a dream. He woke up before it started. He returned to the cruel world.
in reality.
"You are willing to surrender. Our Luoyangu Dazhai is not a murderous person. We would like to accept your surrender. But how do we know that you are sincerely surrendering? What if you deceive our trust and stab us in the back?
Aren't we the benevolent women?" Lin Jue said.
Du Chengjiang said: "Although we are not gentlemen, our words still count. Otherwise, how can we still be human? I, Du Chengjiang, swear to God..."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "It's better to forget about swearing. Oaths are the most unreliable."
Du Chengjiang said: "Then how can you believe it?"
Lin Jue held his chin and thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. If you are really willing to surrender to us, you need to show sincerity. Chief Du, I will let you go to the deputy stronghold to persuade you to surrender, and let you lead a hundred people there. If you can persuade us to surrender,
Lieutenant soldiers and horses, tell them to stop resisting, put down their swords and bind themselves, come forward and surrender, then I will believe you."
Du Chengjiang said in astonishment: "The soldiers and horses of the deputy village may not listen to my words. How can I do it?"
Lin Jue said: "If you fail to persuade us to surrender, I will cut off fifty heads and come back. I also believe that you are sincerely surrendering."
Du Chengjiang looked at Lin Jue in astonishment, with an expression on his face. Lin Jue said coldly: "There is no room for bargaining here. You can also escape with a hundred people. But I want all the heads of the more than a hundred people left here.
Cut them off. Their lives will be entrusted to you. If you fail to fulfill my orders or run away, then the account of these lives will be counted on your head."
Du Chengjiang said angrily: "Aren't you forcing me? What kind of order is this? Seriously, I am willing to stay here and let Chief Zhang go."
Du Chengjiang understood that the tricky conditions put forward by the other party were actually forcing him to break with the Shanzhai. Whether it was to persuade him to surrender or to kill people, he would not be able to look back.
Lin Jue sneered: "He? I don't believe him. I still have some trust in you. As for this leader, if you let him out, he will disappear without a trace immediately. You must know that I value you. I might as well
I will tell you my plan. If you can prove that you sincerely surrender to me, we will treat Shirenshan Dazhai leniently. Shirenshan Dazhai will also be retained, and we can even assign you to garrison here. Of course, Shirenshan Dazhai
Renshan Dazhai will come under the jurisdiction of our Luoyan Valley Dazhai and become one of our branch villages. This condition is generous enough. You see, this leader Zhang’s eyes are gleaming. It’s a pity that he is not qualified. He will not be like this
I will not kill him, but I have land to cultivate in Luoyangu Valley, and he will become a self-reliant farmer and support himself."
Du Chengjiang frowned and hesitated, but Gao Muqing said coldly: "Commander, I don't think it's so troublesome. Why are my defeated generals nagging them? If you don't want to go, you are deliberately pretending to surrender, and you immediately found out. Brothers of the Luoyan Army,
Kill them for me. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed cleanly without any further trouble."
The soldiers of the Luoyan Army agreed in unison, and they were about to take action with angry eyebrows. Seeing this situation, Du Chengjiang knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only sigh and said: "That's all, I just agreed."
The soldiers of the Luoyan Army confiscated the weapons of the surrendered soldiers and escorted them to the front hall for centralized guarding. These people must not be trusted until the situation stabilizes. Confiscating their weapons can prevent them from turning against each other at any time.
Gao Muqing led dozens of brothers to search the main stronghold, and found out more than 30 bandits who had escaped and hid in nooks and crannies, as well as dozens of family members of bandit leaders, and put them all under guard.
At the same time, Lin Jue led people to reinforce the gate of the main village. There, Yuan Lang had repelled several bandits' attacks. The bandits began to build ladders to climb up on the cliffs on both sides of the main village. Yuan Lang's men
It wasn't much, and it was already somewhat undefendable. But Lin Jue and his men arrived and immediately stabilized the situation, suppressing the opponent's fierce attack.
