More than an hour before the fight, the night was very quiet, just like the night should be, and even the sounds of insects in the grass did not seem noisy.
Facing Lin Ye who insisted on camping in this depression, Qi Rige became a little anxious.
He said: "General Lin, there are only fifty people around you, and they are all new recruits. Why do you think they can fight against horse thieves who kill without blinking an eye?"
Lin Ye just looked up at the night sky, seemingly not interested in answering his question.
What's wrong with fighting with horse thieves? Fighting with horse thieves is just the starting point.
Qi Rige became even more angry.
He knew that he should not offend the beauty, let alone one of Dayu's generals.
But if he doesn't offend, everyone here may die, including him and his two soldiers.
"General Lin, you have not experienced the battlefield, and neither have your soldiers. I am not afraid that speaking out will hurt you and myself. I think you are arrogant and willful."
After saying these words, Qirige felt that Lin Ye would scold him.
But Lin Ye is still the same.
Fortunately, Lin Ye spoke.
Lin Ye said: "You want to tell me that if I die here and you don't die, you will be implicated and die, and your family will also be implicated. If I die here, you will die here, and your family will die too."
They won’t be implicated, but they will also lose their support for survival, and their lives will probably be miserable in the future.”
This time it was Qi Rige's turn to be silent, because everything Lin Ye said was right.
Lin Ye asked: "Why don't you leave?"
Qi Rige opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.
Lin Ye said: "Because you left, you will still be implicated."
Qirige looked at Lin Ye, with a little hatred in his eyes.
Lin Ye: "You can't control anything and you are unwilling to accept it, so..."
He looked into Qige's eyes: "Why don't you accept it?"
Qi Rige opened his mouth again.
Lin Ye didn't wait for him to speak and answered for him: "Because you don't believe that these new soldiers of mine can win."
Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the night sky again. He didn't speak for a long time. Qi Rige also stood there without speaking, but the more he looked like this, the more annoyed he became.
After a long time, Lin Ye withdrew his gaze from the night sky and looked at Qi Rige: "Do you think I'm selfish?"
Qi Rige nodded immediately.
Lin Ye: "Yeah, if I'm not selfish, why would I do this?"
He looked into Qi Rige's complicated eyes: "I know I am an annoying person, because I know that I don't need to think so much about others."
Qi Rige: "What if I were not from Dongbo, what if I were a beautiful woman, would you still care so little about my life or death?"
Lin Ye: "If you were a beauty, I wouldn't even bother to say these words to you."
He pointed at the dozens of scouts from the Qi military camp: "They are all beauties. I have never explained to them."
His day was stunned.
Lin Ye said: "Those who wear military uniforms fight with others. How many of them do you think are fighting for the sake of war? They are killing because they like to kill."
Qi Rige shook his head: "Probably not many."
Lin Ye said: "Not much."
He stood up straight, took a few slow breaths, and then said as he walked past Qi Rige: "But I am."
Qi Rige's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Lin Ye said: "Zhentian has the virtue of living well. That is Zhentian's business. I am here to fight."
There was one more thing Lin Ye didn't tell Qirige because it was unnecessary. People like Qirige were just insignificant passers-by in Lin Ye's life.
Using a love of war to nourish fighting spirit, a love of killing to nourish murderous intent, and practicing in actual combat are the cold and domineering qualities that Lin Ye must have for the path he wants to take.
Lin Ye has always said that he is not a good person, let alone a selfless person.
When the horse thieves came, so did the fighting, in a way that Rige had never expected.
Lin Ye and the dozens of new recruits under his command showed a murderous heart that did not look like new recruits at all.
Qi Rige had a hard time understanding how General Lin could train the new soldiers like this.
There were hundreds of horse thieves assigned, and they were also warlike and easier to kill.
However, they were frightened by Lin Ye's fighting style. At this moment, they were no longer warlike and did not want to kill anyone. They just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and leave this herd of cattle and sheep.
Hundreds of people were attacked and killed, and nearly 200 were killed. The remaining people gathered together and urged their horses to leave and find their leader.
This depression was seven or eight miles in radius, and it was still night time.
Lin Ye didn't want them to leave.
Pang Dahai followed Lin Ye, with the faint smell of blood in his nose, but at this time the smell did not make him feel sick at all.
Before the war started, General Lin said... What the battlefield looks like is not only what you can see with your eyes, but also what you can hear with your ears, and what you can smell with your nose.
This tastes right.
General Lin also said that the eyes will see the killing, the ears will hear the screams, and the nose will smell the blood.
Adapt to it. If you can't adapt, take off your military uniform when you go back. I will give you a sum of money to farm, raise silkworms, hunt, whatever you want, don't become a soldier.
General Lin also said that I need a group of soldiers who are ruthless enough.
He said...I didn't like this originally, but I'm a general, so I have to tell you what it should be like.
He said, I will kill very fiercely and I will not look like a human being. You can remember my appearance and learn from it.
He kills very fiercely. He really doesn't look like a human being. He has no mercy at all. He will kill any enemy who encounters him.
These dozens of new recruits probably didn't expect that they would adapt to the battlefield so quickly.
They use whatever they can to hide themselves, and then kill their enemies with one blow at the most opportune moment.
They are not just scouts, at this moment, they are more like a group of assassins.
At first they looked really inferior to Qi Rige, but after only half an hour, Qi Rige began to be unable to keep up with them.
Qirige remembered that when he had an argument with Lin Ye before, he asked Lin Ye angrily, you are a general, but your soldiers are recruits, have you ever taught them how to kill?
Lin Ye said, I didn't teach them how to kill, that was taught by another general. I only taught them how to survive on the battlefield as much as possible.
There are many things that can be taught about how to survive on the battlefield, but the first thing is always...kill the enemy.
You can win by avoiding war. War is not the only way to play games. But as long as a war breaks out, killing the enemy should always be the first priority.
Qirige took a deep breath. He was just stunned for a moment. Lin Ye and the dozens of scouts were already hunting down the remaining horse thieves.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that dozens of new soldiers could kill hundreds of horse thieves.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. It turned out that there was a way of fighting called sheep fighting.
All the hundreds of people assigned by Su Sang died. Lin Ye gave a gesture to Pang Panghai, who then imitated a cow and brayed.
They are very similar to each other, more like a cow than a cow.
Dozens of scouts scattered around immediately gathered here. They knelt on one knee and gathered around Lin Ye.
"It's a good fight, but don't be too quick to be happy."
Lin Ye said: "The team of horse thieves will come over soon, and more people will come. I told you how to beat them next, has anyone forgotten?"
Everyone replied in a low voice: "I haven't forgotten!"
Lin Ye hummed: "Go ahead as I have arranged."
"yes."
Dozens of people quickly dispersed and soon disappeared into the darkness.
On the other side, Suesang led a large group of horse thieves to hunt down the people from the small tribes, but these people were not their targets.
After dispersing most of the people, Suesang returned with his team. At this moment, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Che, who he sent out, didn't come back. He asked Chi Yan to go see what was going on, but Chi Yan didn't come back either.
The most important thing is that so far they have not found a beauty.
He had previously visited a small tribe's camp at night at Xingyue Lake and captured a prisoner for interrogation.
The prisoner told him that those who came were indeed beauties, and they were carrying a large amount of gold, each carrying a bag on his back.
This gold is the deposit for buying cattle and sheep, and the remaining money will be given to them when they arrive at the border.
There were about fifty people, and everyone was carrying a bag. If it was all gold, it would be a lot of money.
So Su Sang ordered before taking action that those beauties must be found.
In addition to robbing the gold, the more important thing is that no one is left alive.
At this moment, no beauties were seen, either those beauties had already run away in advance, or they were hiding among the cattle and sheep.
Lin Ye hoped that they would come looking for them. If he wanted to find them in this depression, the horse thieves would have to send people out.
As long as the horse thieves disperse, Lin Ye and his scouts will have plenty of opportunities.
"A team of one hundred."
Suesang ordered: "Turn the beauty out. If you see it from anywhere, send a signal immediately."
"yes!"
The little leaders under him immediately responded and dispersed with their team. Their team seemed to have formed a huge bamboo basket, looking for the beauty like a leaf.
At this time, Lin Ye had already set his sights on Su Sang.
That guy looked like a leader, the kind of enemy who must die first on the battlefield.
But I have to say that this man has some ability to lead an army.
Hundreds of people form a team, and a team is divided into groups of ten people. These ten people do not move forward side by side, but form a straight line with ten people connected.
In this way, the horse thieves, one after another, can completely separate the herds of cattle and sheep.
Although the leader of the horse thief didn't know yet, Lin Ye and the others hid in the sheep and killed hundreds of his men.
But his caution and ability to lead troops were enough to prevent his team from being attacked by surprise like Tebetsu did.
If Lin Ye's men were still hiding among the sheep as before, once they were exposed, they would definitely be between the two rows of cavalry.
If we continue to fight like before, Lin Ye's people will definitely be completely killed in a very short period of time.
So in this world, not everyone can be a leader, and not everyone can be a general leading troops.
However, Shu Sang, a sufficiently qualified general, met someone like Lin Ye this time.
Just when they were about to enter the bottom of the pit and prepare to cut up the cattle and sheep, a fire suddenly broke out.
What was burned were cattle and sheep, especially the sheep, which were numerous and easy to ignite. They would run around when burned.
This is a very cruel thing.
But it does not matter.
The scouts scattered by Lin Ye set fire to the sheep around them as quickly as possible. Looking down from the night sky, you will find that the firelight quickly turned into a sheet of light from the stars.
