Chapter 778: Training
The plan discussed by Liang Cheng and Sheng Ze was to kill as many brave and skilled fighters as possible on the front battlefield, while weakening the enemy's strength, preferably causing those people to suffer varying degrees of injuries.
Then other troops would lay siege and drive the remaining enemy troops into the mountains.
As for what happens after entering the mountains, it depends on Shengze.
The 20,000 new recruits were activated this time, not only because the front battlefield had depleted the enemy's strength, making it less difficult for them to intercept them, but also for the purpose of training troops.
Those guys have been training for so long, it's time to pull them out for some practice.
Shen Yong lay on the ground for a long time, and moved slightly to prevent his hands and feet from becoming inflexible.
Ma Laosi next to him also imitated him. He originally wanted to speak, but no one around made a sound, so he had to hold it in.
Chen Yong actually wanted to ask clearly, why did Ling Yun ask them to try to keep the people? Shouldn't they kill all the foreigners?
Moreover, they have been lying here for an hour and haven't heard any movement. Will those people really come?
Just when Shen Yong was about to feel unable to lie down any longer, there was finally movement from the front.
"Here they come! Everyone, be alert and wait until they come in before you take action."
Before the person in charge could finish his words, someone running fast approached the encirclement, and he immediately stopped talking.
After a while, Shen Yong and others suddenly got up from the ground and stopped the first group of people who entered the encirclement.
"kill!"
Although we cannot actually kill people, we still have to shout slogans.
Those who were deliberately sent into the mountains were dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that the Hubei Northern Army would actually ambush so many people here to surround them!
At the beginning, these people naturally fought to the death. Some of those with bad tempers were quickly dealt with by masters like Ling Yun and Sheng Ze, while others began to hesitate when the supervising officer shouted to surrender.
They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw that the first group of people who were captured were all taken away safely.
Some who thought themselves clever even pretended to be weak and were captured.
"Ma Laosi, are you stupid? Why are you following him?" Shen Yong stopped Ma Laosi who was about to chase him. "With Chengyun here, we don't need you."
He now realized that Cheng Yun and Cheng San were here to prevent these people from being let go.
Before Ma Laosi could say anything more, a new group of enemies came and the two continued to fight.
At the beginning, the soldiers in the new recruit camp thought that tonight's mission was easy. After all, with Ling Yun and Sheng Ze to scout the battle, the chances of them getting injured were very small.
But as time went on, more and more enemies were driven into the mountains, and the pressure on the new recruits' camp became greater and greater.
If it weren't for Sheng Ze, Ling Yun, and the gunpowder net developed by Shen Xiao, they would have let many people go.
The gunpowder net was made by Shen Xiao in the past few days according to Sheng Ze's reminder. Simply put, it is to load gunpowder on the grid, and it can be dropped from a high place to have the effect of throwing firecrackers. However, the power of this firecracker is much greater than that of children's toys, and it is definitely enough to injure people.
Shengze had people set up this kind of gunpowder net all around the encirclement. Those who tried to escape not only had no way out, but were taken away with injuries.
"Oh my God, why are there so many people?" Shen Yong's hands holding the big knife were shaking, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Ma Laosi was already breathing heavily and could barely speak clearly. "Oh, I can't hold on any longer."
