Chapter 145: Defense (2)
"What? Let me take these defeated soldiers over?"
When Liu Hong heard the commander's words, he was stunned, "Did you make a mistake? It's understandable to go to our camp, but what's the use of them in the past? Look at their current situation, they are all absent-minded. When the war starts, people will still look at them."
"This is Your Highness's order. Captain Liu just needs to implement it. Other things are not what you should be responsible for."
The commander was silent.
This sounds like nothing wrong, but Liu Hong always feels angry in his heart, but he doesn't know what to say. Who made him just a little captain? In the end, he only utters one word, "Okay!"
At this time, the matter of gathering the defeated soldiers was coming to an end. All the ones that should be retrieved were found. If they were not found, they had to give up.
"I just counted it and collected a total of 3,055 people. They are the elite troops of the Zhenguo Army. The situation of these defeated soldiers is not too serious. After this period, some of them have barely recovered. Although they are not in good spirits, they can communicate, but they are very resentful to us."
He Zhang walked to Yang Zongcheng Sheng and the others, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"It is certain to have resentment. Defeat is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is to be regarded as an abandoned child. Anyone who encounters such a thing will be difficult to accept."
Yang Zong sighed, What a great soldier, they are all veterans on the battlefield. What a pity, as an old man who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he knew very well that even if these soldiers could recover after they returned, it would be difficult to return to their original state. If they trust such things, it would be difficult to repair once cracks appeared.
"You say that our second prince is really cruel. Not only is he cruel to the enemy, but he is also the same with his own people. He doesn't take human lives seriously. Do you want to be afraid that the people below will rebel against him? Is there a mutiny?"
Cheng Sheng had been holding this in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't help but say to the two of them.
"You dare to say such words, disaster comes from the mouth!"
Yang Zong immediately glared at him.
"Brother Yang, don't worry, I only said this in front of you."
Cheng Sheng looked around and looked at you with confidence.
"Since ancient times, kings are so lucky, they are the most ruthless emperor's family! As long as they have power, there is no shortage of people who work hard. Perhaps because of this, those noble people do not take human lives seriously."
He Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
"I like Lao He's words."
Cheng Sheng immediately gave a thumbs up, and scholars' words were different.
"Everyone said a few words, you-"
“Woo~”
Before Yang Zong could finish his words, the sound of gathering horns sounded not far away.
The three of them looked up and immediately rushed towards the other side with their respective subordinates.
"You are back just in time. His Highness the Second Prince asked us to bring the defeated soldiers to meet with them."
When Liu Hong saw the three people coming, he immediately spoke.
"What are you doing with the defeated soldiers? Can they still fight?"
Cheng Sheng looked at Liu Hong.
"What are you looking at me? This is the order of the second prince."
Liu Hong spread his hands.
"Why do I feel a little uneasy when the second prince's order is a little uneasy?"
Cheng Sheng touched the stubble on his chin.
"Let's not worry about so many things for now. The military orders are like mountains. Let's go there quickly."
Three thousand uneven armored soldiers and 1,200 elite infantrymen from Liu Hong's troops formed a long team and marched quickly towards the direction where the second prince was.
The mountain road was rugged, and although the distance was less than six miles, the entire team still walked for about half an hour due to the failure of the defeated troops.
In front of the team, Cheng Sheng rode a tall horse on a tall horse, pointed the camp with a flag flying in front of him and said, "Look, you have not started fighting yet. There is a camp of thieves in front of him. The camp has a good location. It is difficult to unfold the army there. There are also elite black armored troops in the thieves. It is not easy to capture it."
"The shield wall of the Black Armor Army is indeed powerful."
Liu Feng was deeply touched by this. He turned to look at Yang Zong and asked, "Brother Yang, you have been through the battlefield for a long time. I wonder if you have come up with any solution?"
"Person Liu, do you have any ideas?"
He Zhang, who was standing beside him, said.
"Of course I have an idea. Look, after we came here, we did not make any contribution. If we could break through this camp, it would be a great achievement. After we returned, I could ask for merit for you in front of Wuwei Hou."
Liu Hong looked at Yang Zong with a serious face. He was not satisfied with being a little captain now.
"There are ways to solve it. No matter what kind of military formation it is, there are ways to crack it. The shield formation of the thief is indeed very strong, but it moves slowly. If we have a large number of crossbows, they are just a target, and can be broken by a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, we did not bring such supplies at all when we crossed mountains and ridges and entered Tangyuan Mansion. However, there is still a way that is not a solution at the moment."
"What's the solution?"
"Use wood! Remember how we broke the city gate when we attacked the city?"
"Of course I remember, huh, this method is good!"
Liu Hong looked excited and began to think about whether he should find an opportunity to ask the second prince for a fight.
As soon as the three of them arrived with their troops, Liu Hong, the captain, was called to the second prince.
"How many defeated soldiers have been gathered?"
Li Jun asked directly.
“3055!”
"Um."
Li Jun nodded, then glanced over the generals around him, "Who are you willing to lead the army?"
Hearing this, the generals around him lowered their foreheads and no one responded. After all, this was driving the three thousand soldiers to die, and they were all the troops in the country. Once such a thing was done, the people's hearts would be gone and the team would be difficult to lead in the future.
"What, are you all mute?"
Li Jun had a dark face.
There was still silence around. Not only did no one dare to speak, but even the sound of breathing became smaller.
"Your Highness, I do!"
At this moment, Liu Hong took the opportunity to stand up.
"you?"
Li Jun looked at Liu Hong with a smile on his face, "Okay, then you can take your troops and lead these three thousand defeated soldiers to attack first!"
"What? Your Highness, I heard it right. Those three thousand defeated soldiers were also on the way? But their current state is simply unable to fight."
Liu Hong suddenly understood why all the generals around him did not speak out. It was a big pit. If he really brought these three thousand defeated soldiers to fight, he would not have thought of continuing to stay in the Zhenguo Army in the future. No one would be willing to follow a general who forced his robes to die.
"It doesn't matter whether you can fight or not. Just follow the orders. Captain Liu, go and prepare immediately, otherwise even if you are the son-in-law of Wuwei Hou, you will be beheaded if you violate our military orders!"
The second prince Li Jun did not give Liu Hong the chance to refuse, so he decided on this matter.
Chapter completed!
