Chapter 1532 Zou Soldiers
When Lin Tao heard this, he sneered disdainfully, "You mercenaries have also suffered losses? Look at yourself, how many people have you lost?"
This sentence instantly awakened the twenty or thirty soldiers of Zou State.
The soldiers of Zou Kingdom swept around the chaotic battlefield, and saw that on the dense battlefield, the fallen soldiers were basically their companions.
Although there are also mercenaries, they are definitely very rare in number, and they are simply rare animals.
This is actually understandable. The mercenary group is full of money to fight for people to fight, but in fact, it is a group with the least integrity.
They are the species that knows the most about life-losing. Once they really fight, there are often only two strategies. The first is to fight if they can beat them, and the second is to find a way to save their lives if they can’t fight.
Of course, they were unwilling to spend their lives in vain for a little commission. They clearly realized that being a mercenary is essentially just a business. If anyone takes this business seriously as glory, that person is definitely the first to receive a lunch box.
The soldiers of Zou State found that they had hired nearly 200 mercenaries in total, but now there are still 40 or 50 mercenaries left, and the losses are nearly three-quarters.
At first glance, this seems to be a very large battle casualties, which can basically be called "heavy losses" and "annihilation of the entire army".
However, there is no harm without comparison. I believe that the survival rate of the mercenaries is almost the same as the probability of an accident in an airplane.
This time, Zou State mobilized nearly 10,000 advance troops from other places to go to Zou State's second largest city to regain the newly occupied city.
As early as the day when Yingcheng fell, a fast horse ran out of the city and went to Huicheng, the capital of Zou State, to inform us.
The State of Zou was originally a small country, and the news quickly spread back to the capital. The information obtained by the capital was that it basically did not have enough equipment to seize the huge army of Yingcheng. Even after occupying Yingcheng, it only had enough equipment to seize the material reserves of Yingcheng.
In short, although their army was terrifyingly large, they were completely a group of peasant soldiers with bare hands and no heavy weapons.
The so-called heavy weapons not only include mass destruction weapons such as catapults and cannons, but also enclose giant n-ǔ arrows. When launched, these n-ǔ arrows can instantly tear the enemy's formation, penetrate combat chariots, armored cavalry, etc.
Faced with such a force, although Zou Guo did not occupy a large number, he had a chance of winning.
Therefore, the king of Zou State immediately made a decision and immediately mobilized an elite force to kill the peasant army in the cradle.
Of course, this elite force should act quickly and completely strangle them before this peasant army captures more cities and gains more armed forces.
This is where the well-equipped army of Zou State, led by a general who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, rushed to Yingcheng and was attacked by a monster army again.
Their troops originally had 10,000 people, but now there are only twenty or thirty survivors left, with a surviving rate of less than one percent. Compared with the surviving rate of one quarter of the mercenaries who are afraid of death, the gap is immediately revealed.
This made the soldiers of Zou State feel particularly uncomfortable and even angry!
You have survived so many people, and you even want to plunder the bodies of our companions. You are riding on your neck and peeing!
Lin Tao knew that if he had made some practical moves now and voluntarily gave up the right to pick up the battlefield, the mercenaries would be untenable, so he said to the mercenaries and the soldiers of Zou Kingdom, "Okay, since you said that, let's leave here now."
"Let's go." Lin Tao said lightly to the others, as if this matter was no big deal, and then turned back to the fortress.
"Wait a minute!" A voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Tao. Lin Tao had long expected this voice.
I saw a man slowly standing out among the soldiers of Zou State. Judging from the leather armor on his body, this man should be a "sergeant" among the soldiers of Zou State.
The sergeant commander is the smallest grassroots commander in the military organization, and the subordinates are in charge of five people.
Now, this youngest grassroots chief is the largest official among the survivors of the entire Zou Kingdom. Without a higher-level chief, this person can only stand up and speak.
The chief suddenly called Lin Tao, glanced coldly at the mercenary not far away, and repeated, "Brother, wait a moment, I have something to say."
"You are right. The corpses of our compatriots lying here are basically the bodies of our compatriots. Even if we are really careless and make money from these dead people, it is not the other person's turn to get a share of the pie."
When he said this, the chief stared at the mercenaries coldly, and these words were said to the mercenaries inside and out.
The sergeant slowly stepped forward and said to Lin Tao, "Brother, I want to make a deal with you. You help us drive away these borers and wild dogs. We can give up half of the place as a reward."
"Aren't you afraid that we will be alone after driving away these mercenaries?" Lin Tao asked with a smile. It was hard for people to see that he was just talking, or that was really thinking.
The sergeant was obviously stunned for a moment, and then calmly smiled and replied, "Of course we have been worried about this problem, but... I saw you voluntarily withdraw, and I could see that you didn't seem to covet these things, and..."
To be honest, the sergeant's keen insight has exceeded the average level of an officer at this level.
The officers of this level have very limited things in their heads. They can only barely remember the names, looks, and even where their hometown lives.
They do not need to consider the issues at the top, such as the trends of the army or the overall strategic deployment. They are all the work of the superiors of their superiors.
But no matter what, the "soldier" in front of him can still distinguish the pros and cons in front of him without going with the flow. For example, their choice to cooperate with Lin Tao without allowing the mercenaries to plunder the bodies of their companions is a relatively wise and proactive choice.
Because the mercenary only has the interests in his eyes, he keenly discovered this.
Lin Tao blinked and said, "And what?"
The sergeant paused and said, "Let's drive away these annoying bugs first, and then talk about other things?"
Lin Tao thought it made sense, so he stepped forward, clenched his fists, and made a creaking sound.
Lin Tao smiled viciously and showed a vicious and extremely intimidating smile. "Are you going to get out of here, or are we good at you?"
At this time, behind Lin Tao, everyone in Qingcheng Sect holding a long sword and a spear rushed forward, and each of them obviously overwhelmed the mercenaries in their physical condition.
If not long ago, these mercenaries, plus twenty or thirty soldiers from Zou Kingdom, had a total of seventy or eighty people, and perhaps they could have fought with Lin Tao and the others.
But now, the situation has completely reversed. Forty people who became Lin Tao and twenty or thirty soldiers from Zou State, a total of sixty or seventy people, and they are still fifty or sixty.
Losing the numerical advantage, they became in vain in an instant.
"Let's go!" The mercenary gritted his teeth hatefully, with an unwilling expression on his face, and finally took everyone away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say a harsh word, saying, "Okay, okay, you all wait for me, and don't let me meet you in the future."
The sergeant suddenly called him and said, "Wait a minute!"
Then, he and the soldiers blocked the retreat of the mercenaries and said, "You have left the things, those things that do not belong to you."
The captain of the mercenary showed a harsh and fierce dangerous gaze in his eyes, but looked at Lin Tao again, and his gaze immediately shrank back and disappeared.
He was afraid of Lin Tao's actions.
"Put down the things and let's go!"
The mercenaries threw down their things, and the sergeant watched the scene coldly, and then watched the mercenaries leave coldly.
Lin Tao suddenly appeared behind the sergeant, and gently pressed one hand on his shoulder, "You can say now, are you and the words behind?"
"And what comes later?" The sergeant looked at Lin Tao in confusion.
"What's your purpose in choosing to believe us besides seeing that we don't covet these wealth?" Lin Tao asked with a smile.
They did have no interest in the things on these corpses.
Because in the past, when they were in the fairy world, they had no concept of money or wealth.
Therefore, even when I see the golden gold and silver, I am indifferent.
What's more, their most concerned issue now is to take down a base, and before the next "Moon View Night" arrives, everything else will be clouds.
"Oh, it turns out you were talking about that," the sergeant suddenly realized, and said, "and... you suddenly appeared here, proving that when the Moon Watch Night came, you were also in the wild, maybe, somewhere nearby."
"Actually, when you first appeared here, I was already suspicious."
"You are not wearing military uniforms, and there are women in the team. You should not be the army of Zou or Teng, but you are more like... deserters."
"I can see, or guess, that you actually have difficulties and must have other purposes. No matter what the purpose is, at least there will be no conflict with us. Therefore, compared with those mercenaries, we still choose to believe that you should be better. In short, where we have no conflict of interest, the side of our cooperation is larger than the side of our enemy."
The sergeant paused and said, "Now, you can tell us, why are you here? And, who are you?"
