The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 21: The soldier’s crisis
With the death of De Nair, the barbarian coalition began the collapse of the whole army, and about thirty or forty people escaped. Only Anderson's 30-odd people remained standing there.
The remaining movable soldiers summoned by Zhong Yu are about forty. Slowly surrounded them. Although the number of soldiers on the two sides was not much different, the morale of the two armies was very different.
The combat effectiveness of an army is never measured by its number, or even its advanced weaponry. I am determined by the combat morale of an army, especially in the cold weapon era when there were no firearms, and that is even more so.
Why was the Japanese pig tactics so useful during World War II? It hit the Russians, the British, and the Americans, and the troops were dizzy for a while. It's not that Japan's tactics are not afraid of death.
The high morale of our own troops surrounded the low morale barbarian coalition forces. Waiting for the arrival of Zhong Yu.
is at the periphery of the encirclement circle, Zhong Yu said loudly to the barbarian coalition inside: "surrender, when I need to hire people now, if you surrender, I can guarantee your safety."
After hearing this, many savages clearly showed heartbeat expressions on their faces. But still did not answer, but looked at the leader who was protected by them in the middle-Anderson.
Being watched by everyone's eyes, Anderson felt a pain in his heart, although he knew that as long as he nodded his head, all the barbarians would put down their weapons and surrender to him.
They have been smashed by those yellow-skinned people. They have no trace of courage in their chests. They fight with the enemies in front of them. If they didn’t use their kindness and prestige to let them stay, I’m afraid they would immediately. Turn around and leave, run away in embarrassment!
Although he wanted to nod his head and let them surrender immediately, he still couldn't make up his mind for the dignity of being a leader and the honor of a barbarian.
In the end, he still selfishly chose to resist, and let the warriors go with him to meet the ancestors, for the dignity of the barbarians, or for the sake of having an extra companion on Huangquan Road.
As the second leader of this war, he deeply understands that anyone can surrender, but he can't, and the enemy has already lost so many troops. If you don't kill yourself, then the local army that has killed so many people will not let it go. It won't kill itself or quell military grievances.
What's more, as a leader who has ruled the Eisen tribe for decades, his prestige has been deeply rooted. If you let yourself pass this period of time, wait for the loss and fear in the heart of the army to disappear.
Then, when they have a very prestigious self in their hearts, they will give a shout at any time. These hundreds of tribesmen will follow themselves and fight against the brutal rule of the yellow-skinned people. No one will let this huge hidden danger stay under their rule.
So, Anderson refused to surrender. He already knew that he had no retreat and could only fight to the death. Although, he also understood that if he had just fled with the group of people, he would be able to escape back to the tribe. Then he would be able to gather a group of people and continue to resist the attack of those yellow-skinned people.
But what about that? Those yellow-skinned people can still recruit another army at any time, and their own tribe can't resist, instead of letting the people of their own tribe suffer heavy casualties.
Those who were killed in the end were not yellow-skinned people, and the one who was killed was not left. It's better to take it now, the warriors of these tribes, together to resist, can pull a back, and it will end well.
may also be able to make them understand that we barbarians are forced to kill, maybe this can also be the fear of those enemies, let the people of our tribe get better treatment!
Anderson’s resistance did not last long. The group of barbarians who had lost their morale collapsed completely after half of them were killed and injured.
And Anderson, also knowing that he had failed completely, pulled out the dagger from his waist, stabbed him in the heart, and committed suicide.
Since his body fell, the few remaining individuals also gave up resistance, letting the enemy's blade rest on his body, and died with him. He can have such a loyal warrior. Can be regarded as a good leader!
There were a dozen people left. They looked back at the situation on the battlefield and fled even more desperately. And Zhong Yu also ordered the remaining people to go and kill, but don't chase too far, about five miles is enough.
An hour later, the people who had been chasing and killing them came back, and they probably brought back the first level of about ten people. Everyone's face was full of the pleasure of revenge, the joy of victory in the war, and a trace of happiness for surviving.
Everyone's face was covered with tears, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths formed a weird picture. I don't know if they are crying or laughing.
, too, they had never experienced such a tragic war before, and suddenly faced with such a high-intensity war, no one could clearly explain the fear in their hearts.
The previous barbarians experienced only a few battles of a dozen people, but now they have experienced a war of hundreds of people, and it is still so cruel.
Zhong Yu counted the number of soldiers who were still down. There were only 24 soldiers. Among them, only six were left in the Yellow Turban soldiers. Perhaps some seriously injured people were not included.
But those people are no longer worth saving. Those who are seriously injured, even if they recover, are still disabled. They have to waste food in the territory to feed them. Asking special people to take care of them is a fortune. A business that is not worthwhile will not be adopted by others.
Before the war, I had an army of 129 people. After the war, I only had an army of 24 people. I lost more than 100 people. It can be said that my vitality has been severely damaged.
The most important thing is that his foundation, the group of thirty-nine Yellow Turbans, has only six people left. It is already difficult to suppress the group of barbarians and refugees.
Although forced by their long-term majesty, they dare not make trouble for the time being, but if they find out that they are weak, they will hate themselves to their bones, wishing to eat their own flesh and **** their own bones. He will never let go of the opportunity to take a bite on his weak body.
So Zhong Yu's face, with a full face, kindly comforted them and made many promises to them. It was the dissolution of slaves, the more rewards of servants, and the original Yellow Turban army added officials to the ranks.
In short, they calmed down their nerves that were so tight due to the war, and their faces were obviously relaxed. Zhong Yucai took them back to the territory ~IndoMTL.com~ for a rest.
On the way to , Zhong Yu found a very harsh reality, that is, the group of yellow turban soldiers showed hatred at him. The barbarians seemed to have noticed the abnormal movements of the Yellow Turbans, and they were also a little bit ready to move.
With Zhong Yu Rumang on his back, sweat couldn't help dripping, but he said that his face was still expressionless, trying to maintain his cold face.
's calm complexion can make people awe, let them know that they are dependent, and rely on their past majesty, they dare not change.
In this way, with Zhong Yu's calmness, he returned to the territory without any risk.
After , 100 of Zhong Yu's three hundred young soldiers who returned to the territory went to clean the battlefield, while the rest were transferred to maintain the safety of themselves and the territory.
tuned in to guard him tightly, and finally relaxed heavily and exhaled. It was too dangerous, following the extremely unstable group of surviving troops on their way back to the territory.
I have to worry about whether they can't turn their heads for a while, and when there is no one around me to protect them, I will turn back. When that happens, I will be ineffective every day.
The first year of the first year, February 20th, the Lost Land, the Edra Tribal Alliance, determines the hegemony of the Edra Tribal Alliance, a part of the Barren Land, and the battle launched by Zhong Yu won At the end, the Aisen tribe and the Mengla tribe were defeated and the leader died.
Note: The Barren Land, because the barbarians do not understand farming, they still live a primitive life of fishing and hunting. The place where Zhong Yu is located does not have any special products, such as salt, iron, or some special resources. It is called the Barren Land, but in fact, the land is very fertile and is a good place for cultivating food.
