Chapter 94 How she killed five hundred people
In the picture:
Inside the commander's tent.
Good news keeps coming in.
"Report, General! The First Battalion's assault was a success! The enemy was caught completely off guard and suffered a crushing defeat!"
"General, the enemy commander-in-chief was defeated in his battle against the second battalion commander!"
"We have wiped out their camp, and now their commander has fled with the remaining thousand men!"
This is a great victory!
Su Xiao, clad in armor, laughed heartily, "Hahaha, after two years of fighting, we've finally driven these northerners out of the Great Xia territory."
Standing beside him, Si Yao, dressed in a close-fitting outfit, held a long whip, her high ponytail swung, and she smiled in agreement:
"Yes, it was worth leaving our homes. This military achievement will surely lead to a collective promotion for all of us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.
Promotion? They risked their lives to achieve military merits, wasn't it all for the sake of promotion and a better life for their families?
Just then.
The second battalion commander returned, clutching his chest and coughing up blood.
Su Xiao and the others rushed forward to help him up, their faces grim. "What happened? Weren't you seriously injuring the other party?"
"I severely injured them, but that commander is truly formidable. I severely wounded him, but I'm not much better off myself. They've already fled north. General, I'm powerless to pursue them. We must send men to finish them off as soon as possible!"
After the second battalion commander finished speaking with difficulty, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Su Xiao quickly ordered someone to take him to find a military doctor.
He then solemnly instructed, "More than a thousand of the enemy have escaped. If we send two more battalions, our chances of victory will be the greatest!"
"Where is Si Yao from the Seventh Battalion! Where is Wang Sheng from the Sixth Battalion?!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
The two stepped forward together.
Su Xiao solemnly ordered, "Your battalion has five hundred men, which is exactly one thousand. Immediately head north to intercept and kill the enemy. Make sure you take their heads!"
With all 1,000 enemy soldiers at low health and 1,000 of our soldiers at full health, we are certain to return victorious without any casualties.
Wang Sheng and Si Yao immediately accepted the order and mobilized their troops to set off.
They first took a shortcut, ambushing the enemy with arrows and boulders along their likely route.
More than a thousand people, armed and ready to go, were gathered together.
The two battalion commanders then lay in ambush at the forefront.
Although Wang Sheng had been quite dissatisfied with Si Yao before, he would put aside his personal grudges and cooperate with her when faced with a formidable enemy.
"Commander Si, if we ambush them here, we probably won't be able to wear them down much. We'll use the boulders and arrows to weaken their forces, then send the other half down to finish them off in the chaos! The remaining half, continue preparing boulders and arrows, and protect your teammates in case of emergency."
Wang Sheng stared resolutely ahead.
Si Yao said worriedly, "But won't the boulders and arrows hurt our own people?"
Wang Sheng glanced at her helplessly and patiently explained, "Of course we'll wait until we've used up the first wave of boulders and arrows before going down to harvest!"
He had already explained it very clearly, so he couldn't understand why Si Yao would ask such a stupid question.
It was only because she was Su Xiao's concubine that she was able to become the battalion commander.
This battle is bound to be won, which is why Su Xiao sent her to collect military merits.
Although Wang Sheng was dissatisfied, he was certain of victory, and Si Yao had manpower, so they could win no matter what.
"Don't treat me like a fool, I know that," Si Yao retorted, then gave the order.
"Then your Sixth Battalion will go down to harvest in a while, and our Seventh Battalion will prepare bows and arrows and boulders to protect you."
That's how it was agreed upon, and Wang Sheng didn't object.
Because he knew that Si Yao's martial arts skills were very average, and even if he sent her down to reap the rewards, she might still be killed by the enemy.
soon.
The remaining thousand enemy soldiers, all wounded, made their way over.
The mountain path was rugged and narrow, so they could only pass by in very long lines, quietly.
The head coach laughed loudly: "Hahaha."
The strategist asked, "Why is the commander-in-chief laughing so loudly?"
Commander-in-Chief: "That kid Su Xiao is still too young. With such good terrain, what would happen if an army were to ambush us here?"
military adviser:……
The words had barely left his mouth.
Si Yao scoffed, "Dare to underestimate us? Fire arrows! Fire boulders!"
With a wave of her arm, the men of the Seventh Battalion obeyed her command, pushing down boulders and arrows to shoot at them.
Wang Sheng's eyes widened, and he scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing? Their line is so long. If you attack so quickly, you'll only seriously injure the people at the front!"
There are only a few people ahead of us.
As soon as they hid, the people behind them became alert and fled, making it difficult to harvest them!
Si Yao said with a disdainful look, "I'm going to teach him a lesson, he dared to look down on us!"
Ignoring Wang Sheng's advice, she continued shouting, "Smash all the boulders in your hands, and let's see if that commander-in-chief can still laugh!"
"You idiot, you don't understand any military strategy at all! They haven't even come in yet, and you're already smashing things!" Wang Sheng cursed angrily.
"You dare to insult me? I am the General's wife. Be careful, or I'll have Brother Xiao punish you!" Si Yao said with a sneer.
Wang Sheng gripped his spear tightly in anger, his breathing heaving violently.
A perfectly good ambush was ruined by this idiot.
There was no other way; the first wave of boulders had already been used up, and only a little over a hundred people had been killed.
The remaining nine hundred men need to be fought by them personally.
"Where are the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion? Follow me and charge down to annihilate the enemy!" Wang Sheng raised his spear and led the charge.
The 6th Battalion of over 500 men clashed with 900 enemy soldiers.
The scene was one of fierce fighting.
At this moment, Si Yao's soldiers jumped down and asked, "Commander Si, we still have bows and arrows, but we can't dig out the boulder anymore, what should we do?"
Si Yao said impatiently, "Then let's use the bows and arrows brought by the Sixth Battalion. Anyway, we're just cleaning up the mess."
"But Battalion Commander Wang and his men only have five hundred men. They'll have a hard time fighting. Should we abandon the ambush and go down to fight directly?" The soldier looked worried.
Si Yao's hand, gripping the long whip, trembled slightly as she watched the battle below and the highly skilled commander.
She was a little scared.
"No need, we can handle the aftermath. Isn't Wang Sheng very powerful? He was even rude to me just now, so let him fight it out himself."
The soldiers had no choice but to return to their ambush and ordered everyone to take away the bows and arrows of the Sixth Battalion soldiers.
Down the mountain.
Wang Sheng led five hundred men in a fierce battle against the enemy, his armor splattered with countless drops of blood.
Although the enemy was exhausted, they were no pushovers.
The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion fought two against one; some won, and some died.
Soon, three hundred soldiers from their sixth battalion had died.
They took away four or five hundred enemies.
The enemy still has four hundred men!
However, the Sixth Battalion had less than two hundred men left.
Wang Sheng shouted towards the valley, "Si Yao, quickly bring people down!"
None of the five hundred men under Si Yao's command came out.
If they come down now, they can definitely wipe out all the enemy and save the remaining soldiers of their six battalions.
Who knew?
Si Yao sneered.
"Didn't you just scold me for being impulsive? I won't be impulsive this time. I'll follow your instructions. How should I go down?"
She'll never feel right if someone like Wang Sheng doesn't die.
Enraged, Wang Sheng unleashed his full potential and continued the fight.
Soon, their numbers increased from two hundred to one hundred.
In the end, only thirty people remained.
Thirty men stood back to back, huddled together, and watched as more than a hundred enemy soldiers surrounded them.
Their faces were filled with despair as they all looked at Si Yao, tears streaming down their faces.
"Battalion Commander, you actually watched us die! I'm going to report this to the General!"
"The enemy still has more than a hundred men left. Even if you didn't come down, you could have shot them all down with your bow and arrows, but you remained indifferent. You are not fit to be a general!"
"You're despicable; you'll be punished by heaven sooner or later!"
Si Yao said smugly, "You dare to say such things even when you're begging me."
Then she should make her move.
She raised her hand.
The five hundred soldiers behind him all drew their bows and arrows.
Those were the bows and arrows brought by the Sixth Battalion.
Si Yao thought that if they returned alive, she would definitely be punished.
There are only thirty people left on both sides, so why don't we—
Her eyes hardened, and she gave the order:
"Fire arrows! Shoot indiscriminately!"
