At this moment, there were still more than 10,000 people in the large Rinan army leaving along the mountain road. As time went by, they gradually reunited. In the early stage, Wu Yi's situation of using more to fight against fewer people turned into using less to fight against more.
Even though he couldn't eat them completely, Wu Yi kept hanging behind them, making surprise attacks from time to time, making it difficult for them to retreat.
Gradually, the Rinan army retreated to the mountain pass and formed formation again. However, their posture was completely different from the way they entered the mountain pass before. Every one of them was lifeless. If they had not managed to raise their fighting spirit due to the desire to survive, they would probably all be paralyzed at this moment.
On the ground.
Fighting and retreating, the Rinan army left the mountain pass in an orderly manner. Behind them was a vast plain, and they could return to Tianlang City to rest. At this moment, Wu Yi seemed to know that there was little point in continuing the pursuit, and did not let his men continue to harass them.
The Rinan army thought they had escaped. Even if there were no enemies behind them, they would not stop until their energy was exhausted before they collapsed on the ground. It seemed that Wu Yi had intimidated them quite a lot.
Wu Yi was standing at the first line of defense at the mountain pass, looking ahead with a calm expression. At this moment, the two thousand people he had ambushed in advance were probably already fighting. It would be impossible to say that he was not concerned at all, but
At this moment, no matter how panicked I am, I can't affect the war.
This place is quite far away from where the Rinan army rests, so it is naturally impossible to see the actual battle. There are many mountains. As long as one mountain blocks the view, it will not help.
Behind him, Gan Tianba beamed with joy. After all, he won the battle. Everyone was happy. He said to Wu Yi: "Commander, once this battle is over, the military reports of your achievements will go directly to the emperor's desk!"
Wu Yi smiled slightly and did not answer. Judging from the results, there should be nothing wrong. With such illustrious military exploits, all the "rebellious" things he had done before would be in vain. His status above the court would also be lost.
Take advantage of the trend and take it to the next level.
If you, as a newbie, just enter the house, you will probably receive a lot of criticism in the future, so you need to be careful.
An hour later, the ambush troops sent by Wu Yi to intercept reported back that 3,000 enemies had been killed and wounded, and the number of surrenderers was no less than this number. Only less than 4,000 enemies escaped.
More than 20,000 people were killed and injured before and after. This can be called a great victory no matter what, but at the same time, there is also a question before Wu Yi: how to deal with these prisoners?
In the previous battle behind the scenes, 5,000 enemies were captured. In addition, this time, the number was nearly 10,000. If not handled properly, they would be burned. At this moment, the number of prisoners was even greater than the number of Wu Yi's troops. If anyone
Instigation is a disaster.
The simplest and crudest method is to kill and surrender. Only the dead are the quietest and will not make a fuss.
But Wu Yi is sure that if he does this, those Qingliu who only know how to talk in the court will be able to scold Wu Yi bloody, and get the reward at a discount, but also bear the burden of rudeness and cruelty.
reputation.
Therefore, killing and surrendering is not an option, it is the last resort.
As a strategy, Wu Yi could cut off a few of their thumbs or toes, let them go back, and save their lives. This would significantly reduce their combat capabilities, and at the same time consume the enemy's food.
However, this road is not easy. First, it will arouse the opponent's desire to fight to the death. Even if there is a chance to surrender in the future, he will not surrender. Wu Yi may have to pay a greater price for this.
At the same time, in the eyes of those old masters who have never been on the battlefield, this is also a cruel act, and they still have to be scolded.
The best strategy is of course to subdue them and use them for my use. It can also solve Wu Yi's problem of insufficient soldiers and gain both fame and fortune.
However, all fools know that the best policy is the best, but in terms of execution, it is the most difficult. It is not an exaggeration for Wu Yi to say that he went deep alone. There is no support from the rear. If there is a rear, he can just leave this difficult problem to the rear.
In this situation, it is entirely possible for the Rinan tribe garrison stationed in Tianlang City to gather a large army again. By then, there will be strong enemies in front and unstable elements behind. How should Wu Yi deal with it.
Two thousand men escorted three thousand captives, marched into the new camp in a mighty manner, and were treated like heroes. In fact, in addition to these three thousand captives, Wu Yi also gained about a thousand horses.
These horses are all horses that grow in the prairie with rich water and grass. They may not be the fastest, but in terms of patience, they are the best in the world. There is no problem. Like the horses, the people who grew up in the soil and water there are also extremely strong, even at this moment.
Even though he is behind bars, with bare hands, he still behaves like a tiger or a wolf.
Such prisoners are really dangerous.
Day and night, after a great victory, and eating the remaining food and wine, Wu Yi relaxed the restrictions in the army. Even so, there were more wolves and less meat, but it was still not enough.
Compared with the soldiers, the area where the prisoners were imprisoned was deserted and desolate. The soldiers guarding them were also worried that they would rise up to resist, and they kept their eyes wide open, worried that something might happen.
However, what was supposed to happen was still going to happen. The celebration banquet was not over yet. Wu Yi heard the report from the guards around him that some prisoners tried to escape. After being killed by the soldiers, the prisoners moved strangely. The crowd was passionate and wanted to resist, which was difficult to suppress.
.
If it was a normal movement, they would be prisoners! It was normal, and they would not be reported to Wu Yi's desk. Since they were reported to Wu Yi, it would obviously have caused a big fuss!
He was really worried about what was happening. After learning about this, Wu Yi put down the documents he was drafting and went to the prisoner camp with a group of people, preparing to appease them.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually just an open space, simply surrounded by wooden thorns on all sides. There are no quilts or toilets.
To feed, just throw it in from the outside. On Wu Yi's side, there was not enough food and wine for the celebration banquet, and it was even less for the captives. Therefore, if these captives wanted to be full, they had to steal food from their own clan. In this incident,
This is why it was born.
The life here is the same as the pigsty, or even worse than the pigsty. At least the pigsty is cleaned on time, but no soldier can't think of entering it. He might be killed by these people, and he won't even be able to reason with him.
There is no place, these soldiers who are former gangsters are all very smart!
When Wu Yi arrived at the prisoner camp, almost all the soldiers had already arrived. Only in this way, the number of people on both sides seemed to be about the same. Otherwise, if there were more prisoners, they might really take the opportunity to resist.
Torches are burning in the Northland at night. Although spring has arrived, the cold wind at night is still very cold and penetrates the skin.
Wu Yi refused the request of the people around him, pushed aside everyone, and came to the front. He said it was the front, but there was still enough space left. It was impossible for the prisoners to take the opportunity to behead them.
