From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 136: Cockcrow

In fact, letting Gongsun Zan and the people in Changsheng City go was not a bad thing for the Yu Dynasty.

At least the Yu Dynasty can easily take Changsheng Town.

When Gao Shun saw that Gongsun Zan had already evacuated all the civilians, he stopped fighting with Cheng Yu's two thousand troops and led the Xianzhen Camp to flee the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Changsheng Town is now an empty town, and Wen Pin led his army into Changsheng Town easily.

He now controls two of the three western towns. If he takes over Xianhe Town, the three western towns of the Dameng Dynasty will be completely under his control.

After the towns of Buzhou and Changsheng were captured, they became the two bases of the Yu Dynasty in the Dameng Dynasty.

At the same time, Le Jin's army also began a frantic attack on Xianhe Town.

Yu Jin could no longer withstand the pressure, Xianhe Town was in danger, and the people in the city had long been transferred to Jiming Town. However, Yu Jin did not choose to slack off on defense just because the city was empty.

Le Jin's army was still invading frantically. After three consecutive days of attack, his main force of 2,000 people had lost more than 500 people. The battlefield was particularly fierce.

Half of the 500 men that Yu Jin was responsible for guarding the town had been lost, and Xianhe Town was in imminent danger.

"General, retreat."

Several old soldiers who fought bravely in the battle were now covered with wounds. It was not that they were afraid of death, but there was really no point in staying here.

Yu Jin shook his head and said, "As a general, we must obey military orders. There is no order to retreat. Even if it costs us our lives, we must defend Xianhe Town."

Yu Jin was a general, not a commander after all. He did not know the strategic significance of the entire Xianhe Town. So unless there was an order to withdraw, Yu Jin would never retreat lightly.

All the soldiers were exhausted, but at this moment, the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty started a new round of crazy invasion.

The soldiers of Xianhe Town were not allowed to rest and they continued to fight with their weapons in hand.

puff!

An arrow shot towards Yu Jin.

"General, be careful!"

Yu Jin's personal soldiers blocked the arrow for Yu Jin, and the arrow pierced his neck, and blood spurted out continuously.

"General...I, I..."

Yu Jin's eyes were filled with tears.

At this moment, a soldier rushed from the city and said to Jin: "General! The order to withdraw has come. Let us retreat to Jiming Town."

Yu Jin said sternly: "Okay! Withdraw! Go!"

Holding a crossbow, he shot three arrows in a row towards Le Jin's face.

Le Jin had already seen Yu Jin's archery skills, so he didn't dare to be careless at this time. He had been paying attention to Yu Jin's every move. When he saw the arrow coming, he immediately took out his shield to block it.

"What about people?"

When Le Jin looked up at the top of the city again, Yu Jin was no longer there.

"General, they seem to have withdrawn their troops. There are fewer and fewer defenders on the city walls."

Le Jin gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let them retreat!"

So many of his subordinates had died, and Le Jin would feel very aggrieved if he didn't wipe out this group of people.

"Charge in! The advance team should speed up the climb and open the city gate!"

"Here!"

Half an hour later, the gate of Xianhe Town was opened, and Le Jin took the lead and rushed straight into Xianhe Town.

"Go to the East Gate!"

If the other party wants to escape, the only way out is the east gate.

All the horses rushed madly towards the east gate. Boom boom boom!
All the cavalry in front fell into the deep pit.

In their eagerness to charge and chase, they did not notice that the road under their feet had been camouflaged. The grass on the ground was no different from ordinary grass, but underneath was a solid pit!

"Fuck! Fuck your mother! If I catch you I'll cut you into pieces!"

Le Jin was extremely heartbroken when he saw the soldiers falling into the trap and being stabbed to death by the bamboo spikes.

"Report the battle situation!"

A personal soldier came over and said to Le Jin: "General, we lost more than 800 people in this siege."

Upon hearing this number, Le Jin's heart bled. They had only brought a total of 6,000 troops, and now they had lost almost one-sixth of them, just to capture a town.

Next up are even tougher bones to chew, Jiming Town and Yuhuang Town.

If we push our troops forward again, I wonder how much more troops we will lose in these two towns.

Le Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Occupy Xianhe Town and strengthen the defense. I will go to Buzhou Town to meet General Wen."

"Here!"

……

Jiming Town.

Yu Jin successfully joined up with Pan Feng and Gao Shun. In these battles, the Dameng Dynasty sacrificed more than 300 people, which was still within an acceptable range.

The main force of Daming Town is close to 10,000. It is not easy for the enemy to capture Daming Town!
at the same time.

In Changsheng Town.

Le Jin met with his lord Wang Yu and commander-in-chief Wen Pin.

"General, my lord, we lost nearly 800 people just to capture a town."

"If we continue to push forward, I'm afraid we won't have enough troops."

Le Jin expressed his concerns. Although it seemed that the Yu Dynasty was on the rise and had captured three towns in succession, it encountered almost no resistance in the first two towns. The real war with the Dameng Dynasty should be the Battle of Xianhe Town.

In this siege alone, more than 800 people were lost. Now we are sieging the enemy's home ground. If our troops are not twice as strong as the enemy's, we will not be able to capture the enemy's main city.

Le Jin even began to feel that the decision to attack the Dameng Dynasty was wrong, and he should wait until he had sufficient troops before continuing the attack.

Li Su glared at Le Jin fiercely, signaling him not to disrupt the morale of the army.

"My lord, what General Le said makes sense. We don't have enough troops right now."

"However, if we take over Jiming Town, we must not hurt their people. These people... can be used as weapons to attack the city!"

Wang Yu was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Su said: "Use the people as a shield and let this group of people attack the city. If the other side kills their people, they will become disloyal. If they don't kill them, we will slaughter them in front of them. In this way, we can enter the main city of Dameng Town without any soldiers."

Hearing this, Wen Pin frowned slightly and said, "No! This is too immoral. Since we are at war, we should defeat them fairly!"

"If there are not enough troops, we can continue to send troops from the rear."

"Aren't the rear already training new soldiers?"

Wang Yu shook his head and said to Wen Pin, "General Wen, the new soldiers in the rear are weak in combat effectiveness. We are now at war, and mercy is a taboo on the battlefield."

"As for the harm to heaven and earth...if we succeed, then we will have the initiative in public opinion. As for those people who know about this, if we kill all of them, then no one will know about it, right?"

"Since ancient times, winners have always been kings and losers have always been bandits. History books are always written by the victors. Don't be too soft-hearted."

Wen Pin said: "But..."

Wang Yu pressed his hand and said, "Just follow Mr. Li's plan! Don't say anything more."
