Chapter 7798
7798 Chapter 7796 – 800 versus 2000
There was no sound of weapons clashing in the forest, not even a scream. What about those who had stayed behind to cover the retreat?
The leader of the ambushers broke out in cold sweat.
He could clearly see fresh blood dripping from the armor of the pursuers!
And these drops of blood did not belong to any of them!
In other words … The 800 pursuers had instantly killed 1000 of the ambushers without any resistance!
How did this happen?
There shouldn’t be such a huge difference between the two sides ‘combat strength!
The leader of the ambushers was confused. What had happened in the forest?
Lin Yi looked at the thousand soldiers in front of him carrying the disassembled armor-piercing crossbows and suddenly lost interest. These guys were so weak!
Would this have any training effect?
“Kill them!”
Lin Yi waved his hand casually and ordered the guards unit to attack. He paused for a moment before adding,”Leave a few alive for questioning!”
The eight-hundred personal guards responded in unison, and the five-man teams charged towards the enemy with high morale, who was at a loss.
Before they experienced it themselves, they would never have imagined that the five-man battle formation Lin Yi taught them would be this powerful!
The ambushing troops were indeed not as strong as them, but the difference was not too great. At least, there was no sign of them being crushed.
Under normal circumstances, 800 against 1000, it would take at least 3 to 5 minutes to determine the winner. To completely annihilate these 1000 people, the guards unit would have to pay a heavy price.
And the result?
Under the operation of the five-man battle formation, those one thousand people did not even have the ability to resist. All of them had their throats cut and beheaded, not even able to let out a single scream!
The guards unit’s respect for Lin Yi had reached a whole new level, and they had completely acknowledged and obeyed Lin Yi as their leader.
At the same time, their confidence in themselves was completely off the charts!
Were the 1000 people in front of him the enemy? No! They were just a thousand lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
“Destroy the armor-piercing crossbow!”
The leader of the ambushers came back to his senses and suddenly shouted,””Hurry, destroy it!”
The armoring-piercing crossbows were powerful and not easy to make. They were the ultimate weapons when two armies faced each other. They could die as an ambush, but they couldn’t leave the armoring-piercing crossbows to Lin Yi!
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers in ambush did not hesitate and prepared to destroy the armor-piercing crossbows in their hands.
Some wanted to lift them up and smash them on the ground, some wanted to use their knees to hit the crossbow parts in their hands, and some wanted to draw out their short knives to cut, perhaps thinking that they could block the attack of the guards unit after cutting them.
In short, these one thousand people didn’t want to defend themselves at first, but to destroy the armor-piercing crossbows.
From this point of view, they could all be called death Warriors!
Lin Yi’s lips curled up into a mocking smile-were these guys crazy?
At this time, he was still thinking about destroying the armor-piercing crossbow?
With that amount of time, it’s enough for you to die two or three times!
As expected, the 800 personal guards instantly cut into the enemy formation.
And those guys were only focused on destroying the armor-piercing crossbows, not even putting up a trace of defense!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!
Each guard killed at least one enemy, the faster ones killed two, and a small number of them got three!
Lin Yi stood calmly outside the forest, his hands behind his back as he watched the one-sided slaughter.
These people were prepared to be killed from the moment they decided to ambush Lin Yi, weren’t they?
Therefore, they were not worthy of sympathy!
War had always been a synonym for cruelty!
“Marshal! There are still three survivors here, should I interrogate them?”
The Vice commander of the guards unit brought the three soldiers who were still alive to greet Lin Yi. Their eyes were no longer as unruly as before, only respect and admiration for Lin Yi was left.
The Vice commander Wu yucao was also the commander of the newly formed Guards unit. She was left behind by Lin Yi to take charge of the central Army, so this vice commander was the actual person in charge of the guards unit.
“You go! Find out which side they’re on! Send more people back to clean up the battlefield and count the spoils!”
Lin Yi nodded and ordered.
The Vice commander of the guards unit bowed and accepted the order. He immediately arranged for someone to go back and report. He also had his men bring the three captives into the forest and interrogate them.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, scanned the battlefield-it wasn’t even a battlefield, it was more like a slaughterhouse.
Facing the massacre of the guards unit, the enemy was no different from sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
A portion of the guards unit soldiers were currently cleaning up the armor-piercing crossbows that were covered in blood.
These were all good things, and they would’ve collected them carefully even without Lin Yi’s orders.
This kind of bow and crossbow was famous on the sub-Island, but the Hongshang Commandery itself did not know how to make it. It was a weapon unique to the black magic Commandery.
It was not easy for Hongshang Commandery to buy it, so there was very little equipment in the Army.
The protection of the armor-piercing crossbow in the black magic Commandery was very good, so it was not easy to seize such long-range weapons. Once they found something wrong, they would rather destroy the crossbow than leave it to the enemy, just like what had happened just now.
They didn’t think that Lin Yi’s guards would be this strong, not even giving them a chance to destroy, killing them all like they were chopping vegetables.
Lin Yi didn’t really care about the armoring-piercing crossbow-it didn’t matter.
In the war of the northern border, Hongshang Commandery was the defender of the city. Ordinary longbows and crossbows were enough. It was the same for ambushes.
Unless it was like today, a sneak attack from six or seven miles away, the crossbow would be useful, but Lin Yi didn’t think he’d fight from that distance.
So after one look, Lin Yi’s eyes quickly moved to a distant Hill, where there was a herd of horses like a dark cloud!
The Black Spirit Ferghana horse!
Lin Yi couldn’t help but get a little excited when he saw the group of Black Spirit Ferghana horses.
Out of the 20000 people from the garrison of the king’s city, only 4000 cavalrymen were on the expedition. They were all black Spirit Ferghana horses, and a portion of them were ordinary horses.
However, there were a total of two thousand Black Spirit Ferghana horses in that Col!
Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh. How was this an ambush?
They were clearly reinforcements!
Just as he was thinking of commandeering more cavalrymen from the cities he passed by, they sent over two thousand Black Spirit Ferghana horses. Did they have to be so considerate and generous?
After a short while, Jin Yuan Bao brought two thousand soldiers to clean up the battlefield and check the spoils.
The Vice commander of the guards unit came back to report the results of the interrogation.
“Commander, after the three were interrogated separately, one of them committed suicide and didn’t give any useful information. The other two said something, but after verifying it with each other, we didn’t get much information.”
The Vice commander raised his head and looked at Lin Yi. He hesitated for a moment before continuing,”According to their confession, they are the spies of the seitong Commandery who have been lying in ambush in our country. They usually act as merchants, mercenaries, hunters, and so on.”
