Chapter 437

The two sides were still pushing and shoving each other. When they did not give in to each other, bows and arrows fell down behind them and were falling among the opposing Miao troops. For a time, I didn't know how many people fell to the ground with arrows.

"Where are our archers? Fight back." Zhang Zeng, who was commanding the war in the rear army, shouted loudly when he saw the arrows falling. With his cry, some scattered archers also began to fight back. In the direct attack, on the shield of the second echelon of Yang's army, they caused almost no damage except the sound of banging.

After the Miao army's weak counterattack, the soldiers of the first echelon of the Yang family army took out their crossbows and bows and began to counterattack. At close range, an arrow was fired, accompanied by the fall of one person in the other's figure or the scream of another person.

The third echelon also took this opportunity to quickly catch up with and surpass. Then, there were demons with big knives and long guns. What did the Miao Army take to resist?

Zhang Zeng was still sitting on the horse and wanted to command, but a bow and arrow from somewhere was throwing and falling on his left shoulder, which attracted his cry of pain.

"General, the general is injured, hurry! The general is injured, protect the general and retreat." dozens of close soldiers around them saw that the protected boss was also hit by an arrow, shouted forward one after another, and then tore him off his horse, helped him and retreated back.

Even the soldiers saw the defeat ahead, even the irreversible defeat. Why can't Zhang Zeng see it? Taking this opportunity, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, said nothing, and let everyone hold him back.

"Those who kneel down and surrender can live or die!" the cry from the big horn sounded like the ears of the chaotic Miao army. The cry stunned many people and stood at a loss.

"Dada... Dada..." Yang Jiajun of the fourth echelon also arrived. A cold front holding the ninth five-year plan finally hooked the board, followed by the scene of human figures falling to the ground one after another.

The sudden gunfire became the last straw to oppress the chaotic Miao army, and the situation of the battlefield was determined at this moment. The Miao family's choice is only to escape and surrender.

"Run..." some Miao soldiers who responded quickly and were in the rear turned and ran at the first time. Some wanted to run, but some of the Miao soldiers surrounded in the middle were not so lucky. When mercenaries began to appear around them, they seemed to have only one choice, that is, kneel down and surrender.

The gunfire continued, and the impact of cold weapons occurred from time to time, but it was obvious that the movement was getting smaller and smaller, and the battle was coming to an end before the formal start

In the base camp of the Miao army, although the king Miao Jinlong is still sitting at the top of the military account, it is obvious that he has not been so calm for a long time. At the moment when he heard the explosion one after another, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He was just unwilling to admit everything when he didn't receive the battle report ahead.

"Report!" the curtain of the military tent was lifted from the outside, and then the Scout general who rushed in fell to his knees with a plop. "Report to the king, our army has been ambushed by the other party and is retreating in defeat."

"Ambush? What kind of ambush? Doesn't it mean that the mercenaries are resting and sleeping?" Miao Jinlong stood up from his chair, stared at a pair of red eyes and said in a cold voice.

"We still need to inquire about the details, but it's a fact that the army is retreating. Please cut it off quickly." the Scout general doesn't know how to explain what he saw. He only remembers the moment when the fire flashed, his eyes seemed to spend, and then before long, he saw the scene of the crazy retreat of the Miao army.

"I can't find out. What's the use of you?" listening to his subordinates' answers, Miao Jinlong was angry. Although he had felt bad just now, he found that he still couldn't bear it when the answer appeared.

Miao Jinlong has lost his square inch. Fortunately, Zou de and Zou Xiucai are not confused. After all, this is the outcome he had expected. It was just that others spoke lightly and could not be stopped. In addition, he also wanted to make Zhang suffer a big loss, so as not to continue to be so arrogant in the future.

Now, seeing that the front was indeed defeated, he stood out in the queue and said to Miao Jinlong, "king, if the front was defeated, you should immediately send a general to meet it, so as to reduce the loss. At the same time, closing the camp gate and preparing for defense is the way to be all right."

Miao Jinlong, whose mind was in disorder, listened to Zou De's words fiercely. It was like a drowning man caught a dead wood and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. "Yes, yes, just do your preparation as Zou Xiucai said."

This was originally the countermeasure discussed before. After all, it is also the way of art of war to seek defeat before winning. Of course, these suggestions were put forward by Zou de and urged by him. This time, the Miao army only sent 20000 people. Otherwise, maybe more people will be sent and the natural loss may be greater.

With Miao Jinlong's order, the Miao army camp soon moved. It should save people. Those who should defend the camp stepped up their defense. Finally, they didn't lose their square in the chaos. More importantly, Kuang ye, who originally wanted to send troops in search of an opportunity, couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Kuang ye saw that the Miao army was going to steal the camp. That's why he thought he should do something. For example, if the mercenaries lost, they had to guard the city gate. On the contrary, if the mercenaries won, could he take the initiative to attack, such as attacking the Yellow Dragon, capturing the Miao army camp, capturing or killing Miao Jinlong alive?

Of the two options, he also made preparations for the second one. With his understanding of mercenaries, he certainly believes that Yang Chendong has a greater hope of victory in this war.

In fact, after bursts of fire and roar, the Miao army was defeated. So Kuang ye sent someone out of the city to watch every move of the Miao army's base camp. At the same time, in addition to leaving some troops to Guan Ying to guard the city, General Ma Wei and general Yu Guang were gathered by him and fully prepared 1000 soldiers to sneak into the camp.

However, the number of troops was still too small. After getting the result that the base camp of the Miao army was not disordered and the defense was orderly, Kuang ye could only give up the practice of military action with a disappointed face.

For one thing, one's own troops are too few. Stealing the other's 60000 military barracks with 1000 seems to be no different from looking for death.

Second, Yang Chendong didn't know in advance. If he rushed out without assistance, he might be gone.

Kuang Ye stopped all military operations and just sent scouts to inquire about the war outside. He still has a glimmer of hope that mercenaries will take the opportunity to kill the base camp of the Miao army. If so, he must intervene.

To Kuang Ye's disappointment, the mercenaries did not mean to attack the base camp of the Miao army. After only two miles, he stopped. Then he turned back and cleaned up the results. Groups of prisoners were bound by ropes and brought back to the mercenary camp; Piles of fires were burning, directly igniting the dead bodies of the Miao army. This is not to destroy the dead, but to prevent the plague of so many people.

Zhang Zeng still escaped back, and eight thousand Miao troops escaped back with him. When they withdrew to the base camp of the Miao army one by one, they couldn't walk a step like their feet were filled with lead, and they all sat on the ground.

Soldiers can pretend to be bears, but Zhang Zeng, a general, can't. He rolls and climbs into the main account, kneels down in front of Miao Jinlong and asks for punishment.

Looking at Zhang Zeng with a wound on his left shoulder, Miao Jinlong didn't punish him too much in the end, although he hated him. This is the general who started the incident with him. He is a meritorious hero and the most pure Miao man, so he just scolded him for two words and let him go down to recuperate.

For Miao Jinlong's nostalgia, Zou De, who looked at everything, both appreciated and hated it.

Appreciate a loving and righteous master, which is the goal he should follow closely. If he follows such a person, at least he doesn't have to worry about being ruthlessly abandoned; What I hate is that I pay too much attention to feelings, which is difficult to achieve anything big, and cronyism is easy to do bad things.

Zou De is still analyzing Miao Jinlong's character and his strengths and weaknesses. One of the kings of the Miao nationality over there has opened his mouth to him and said, "Mr. Zou, we Miao army suffered a great loss this time. In your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Your Majesty." Zou De quickly took back his wandering thoughts and said in a very serious manner, "After what happened tonight, we have seen that the mercenary's strength is indeed very strong. It's better not to hit hard against such an opponent. Otherwise, it can hurt the king's foundation. It's better to focus on defense first. When the information is up, the king of Min will deal with everything."

"Is this loss recognized like this?" Miao Jinlong asked with a trace of reluctance.

"Of course, we can't just recognize it like this. But if we try our best to lose both sides with mercenaries at this time, I'm afraid we're right in the arms of some people. It's not a good thing to hurt the enemy a thousand and lose eight hundred. It's better to respond to changes with constancy and look for opportunities to make plans slowly." How can Zou De not see that this is Miao Jinlong's fierce and weak performance? Obviously, he sees the power of mercenaries, doesn't want to be an enemy, and is worried that others say he is timid. That is, he can help him find an excuse and go down a step.

Zou de has lived in the Miao nationality for so many years, and he really knows the situation. Just this sentence is in Miao Jinlong's mind, which makes him nod. At the same time, his originally cold look eased a lot.
