RPAGF Chapter 212 Rescue 2
Chapter 212 Rescue 2
The miserable plight of the people intensified the hatred between the two sides.
Xia Yuanchen raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes like swords, stared at the enemy general, and asked Jiang Yue in a low voice:
"How confident are you of your people?"
Jiang Yue: “Seven or eight points.”
She was being conservative, and this trip must be foolproof.
"Hmm?" Xia Yuanchen became even more cautious when he heard it.
"If you take another step forward, I will kill them!" The leading enemy general was terrified.
He said this in a cold voice, with his sword at the neck of an old man, threatening him in an attempt to escape with his life.
Xia Yuanchen waved his hand, and Jiang Yue and others stopped their horse stance immediately.
He said, "Release the people, and I will let you go!"
After hearing this, the people were very grateful.
"Hmph, you can only fool a three-year-old child with this kind of talk." The young enemy general obviously did not trust Xia Yuanchen's words.
"All we want is food. Give us food and we will release these ants. Otherwise, their bodies will pile up into a mountain."
Even at this time, they did not forget to ask for food.
Xia Yuanchen thought to himself, he never changes his bad habits.
Jiang Yue knew that this enemy general wanted to delay time and wait for their reinforcements outside to help.
Little did they know that their reinforcements had already been dispersed by Xia Yuanchen.
"If you want food, you can." Jiang Yue said, glancing at Xia Yuanchen.
Then Xia Yuanchen continued:
"When our army came, we brought a lot of food with us."
After hearing this, the soldiers around him hurriedly shook their heads, especially the little horse. If the food was given to them, what would their own soldiers eat?
The enemy is greedy and wants all the food.
Soldiers know better than anyone what food means in the army.
However, Jiang Yue and Xia Yuanchen were thinking,
They need food, but they also need to be alive to eat.
"Hand over the food in one hand and the people in the other!" The young enemy general said this with confidence.
He despised the Donglin Army's womanizing kindness.
"Okay!" Xia Yuanchen spoke with some seriousness, and then looked at Jiang Yue beside him.
"You must return quickly and bring the food here to exchange for the people."
"Yes!" Jiang Yue clasped his fists and retreated, carefully observing the enemy's expressions.
Finding the right moment, she suddenly made a gesture,
Then I heard a loud noise breaking through the air.
There was hardly even a scream.
The enemy general who was leading the kidnapping of the old man suddenly had a long arrow between his eyebrows.
shhhhhh...
The enemy was terrified.
At the same time, almost all of the enemy soldiers who were holding the civilians hostage were shot by arrows, and their bodies fell to the ground one after another.
The Xuanwu Army's archery skills, thanks to Jiang Yue's devilish training, were so accurate even on live targets.
What's more, these enemy troops were standing still, only alert to Xia Yuanchen and other soldiers behind them.
The enemy soldiers who were still alive were about to kill the civilians, but Xia Yuanchen had already prepared for this and stepped forward.
"Protect the people!"
He punched with his left hand and held the sword with his right hand.
Wherever he went, the enemy fell down.
The Donglin soldiers followed the order at the same time, first forming a circle around the people to protect them, while the rest of the soldiers engaged in a melee with the enemy...
It is hopeless for the enemy troops to threaten the civilians.
They began to flee in all directions.
The enemy's numbers were limited, and in an instant they were all bloody.
Jiang Yue, together with the Xuanwu soldiers who had completed their mission and had already rushed over, began to cut the ropes on the people's hands one by one.
This scene was so sudden that it took the people a long time to react.
Their red faces from crying were filled with gratitude.
At this time, because they had not eaten for a long time, their weak bodies accidentally fell to the ground, and after falling to the ground, some of them could not stand up.
Compared with previous battles, this battle went much more smoothly due to preparation.
The battle was over soon, and every enemy soldier beside him was killed...
The people were lucky enough to have saved their lives, and they had smiles on their faces that they hadn't seen in these days, or even in these months.
They knelt down at the feet of Xia Yuanchen, Jiang Yue and other soldiers, their eyes blurred by tears.
"Our soldiers are our reborn parents..."
"..."
People who have not experienced tragic events will not understand the gratitude that the people feel towards their own soldiers at this moment.
If possible, they really wanted to build a temple to worship all the soldiers in front of them.
"Fellow villagers, please stand up and do your part." Xia Yuanchen was a little overwhelmed when facing the people.
After he finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers around him,
"Send them home."
...After two battles today, Xia Yuanchen's originally angry heart was relieved because of the rescue of the people.
And the little pony, thinking about the self-blame that the military advisor had felt day and night, thought to himself, now that the people have been rescued, their military advisor can finally sleep peacefully.
The first thing Xue Wen said when he saw Jiang Yue was to take credit for it.
"Jiang Yue, I was the one who shot that enemy general just now! I just shot and killed twenty enemy soldiers in one breath, and every arrow in my quiver and bow hit its target."
Jiang Yue smiled with satisfaction and replied, "You have done a great job in shooting and killing the enemy general. From now on, you will be my deputy. I will propose to the deputy general in the future to promote you to the centurion of the Xuanwu Army."
"Thank you, Captain!" Xue Wen's lips were stretched to his ears. The happiest thing in the military camp, besides being well fed and warmly clothed and killing enemy generals, was getting promoted.
His brilliant smile made all the Xuanwu soldiers envious.
The Xuanwu Army began to talk among themselves.
Telling how many enemy soldiers he had shot.
Finally, Wu Fei came over with more than a dozen heads in his hands.
"Jiang Yue, I killed all of them."
His honest smile formed a sharp contrast with the head in his hand.
Jiang Yue looked at it and said, "Wu Fei will take over Xue Wen's position. From now on, you will be the captain of the ten men."
Wu Fei's eyes were red with excitement. Although the early bird catches the worm, he was a stupid bird and relied entirely on Jiang Yue's support, otherwise he would never have had a chance to succeed in the army.
"Soldiers, you all have a chance. Your future military rank will be at least a captain of a thousand men." Jiang Yue believed that all the soldiers he led were capable.
After hearing this, the Xuanwu soldiers looked more confident.
...As per previous practice, Xia Yuanchen ordered the enemy camp to be burned down to ashes.
Following the lead of the pony, the army continued to move forward towards the Youlan camp.
This time, there are no more obstacles.
The army stopped outside the camp.
At the east camp, the military advisor was in charge. Upon hearing the news that Xia Yuanchen was leading his troops, he went out to greet them early.
Compared to the past, Yun Yi's expression, although still firm and unwavering, was obviously much more haggard.
Xia Yuanchen got off the horse. Apart from his pale face, there was no sign of injury on his body.
Yun Yi smiled when he saw the 10,000 troops of the Donglin Army.
This means that their help has increased by another 10,000.
"Major General, I heard that you are extremely brave and have recaptured the three major county towns of Xiangyang, Yongquan, and Pingchuan. This is truly rare!"
You know, their major general had never led troops to fight alone before, and had always been protected by General Xia Qi.
General Xia was famous for doting on his youngest son.
Thinking about it, I shed a tear of sadness.
"I can't compare to Military Advisor Yun in planning and strategizing." Xia Yuanchen said modestly and began to instruct the soldiers to set up camp on the spot.
