Chapter 161 Captive
"This is really an accident, is the other side of this hilly and mountain range actually a grassland?" Looking at the marked map in front of him, a small wrinkle appeared between Luo Ji's brows, and they walked on foot. It would take at least three days to travel, and the opponent could run a round trip in almost a day on horseback. The difference here is not that big, and it also strengthens Luo Ji's determination to obtain resources for war horses!
"Is this route the only route from that grassland to our Tiebi Tribe?" While speaking, Luo Ji pointed to the map, then cast a questioning look at Liu Chuan, who was standing by below. .
"No." Liu Chuan shook his head, "You can also go around the other end of the hills and mountains, but if you choose another route, the distance will probably be doubled, and you will have to make a big circle. Most of the roads are rough and narrow, and I am afraid they are not suitable for cavalry."
"Well, thanks for your hard work, go down and rest."
After he signaled Liu Chuan to go back to rest, Luo Ji, who had obtained the exact information, kept calling for the captain of the construction team here, and handed over a previously drawn design to the other party." The things on this blueprint are not complicated to do. I want your construction team to work overnight. Before dawn tomorrow, make at least fifteen for me. At the same time, there is another task for you to do... "
One thing after another, Luo Ji's mind already had a whole plan in mind, completely entering a state of efficiency.
"Leader, Zhang Sheng, Minister of the Medical Department, asks to see you."
"Let him in."
"Leader." Zhang Sheng, who walked into the tent, was about to salute Luo Ji, but Luo Ji waved his hand and asked directly, "How is Zhao Pan's situation?"
"After drinking the medicine, Commander Zhao has woken up, and his condition is now under control, and there is no trend of deterioration."
"Thank you for your hard work." After receiving this answer, Luo Ji's expression softened significantly, and he was secretly relieved, and his tone became a little easier, "Then how long does it take for Zhao Pan's illness to heal? "
"Take the medicine twice a day, and in three to four days, the fever should subside, but..." Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng's voice suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face seemed a little hesitant to speak.
"Speak straight if you have something to say, don't hesitate." Seeing Zhang Sheng's expression of hesitating to speak, Luo Ji, who had always been very concerned about Zhao Pan's condition, asked decisively.
"Yes." Hearing this, Zhang Sheng responded, and then said with a bit of courage, "Commander Zhao fell ill this time, the main reason is due to overwork, although after convincing the medicine, he is expected to be able to retire in three or four days. It's hot, but in a short time, it's really not suitable to work too hard, otherwise the disease may relapse."
"Okay, I got it..." Luo Ji's expression was very succinct about this matter, "You go and tell Zhao Pan, this time allows him to recuperate in peace, the Tiebi tribe's side, I will be in charge for the time being, I don't need it. He's worried."
After speaking, Luo Ji raised his brows slightly, looking at Zhang Sheng who was still standing below, "Is there anything else?"
"There is indeed one more thing. The prisoner you ordered to rescue earlier, the leader, has woken up." When he said this, Zhang Sheng's tone was obviously incredible.
The expression on Luo Ji's face also changed and changed. Speaking of the prisoner, it was indeed a little surprising. The soldiers in charge of cleaning up the battlefield almost treated him as a corpse. This 'corpse' was actually hanging on to the last breath and didn't die.
That person was Zhang Yao who had been defeated by Guo Zhen's brass battle axe before. Later, through Guo Zhen's description, Luo Ji concluded that this person should be a general under Zhang Yisheng's command, so he ordered the medical department to rescue him with all his strength.
Of course, it was said that it was going to be rescued, but everyone actually felt that he was helpless. After all, the injury was too serious. Guo Zhen’s killer was called a ruthless man. His whole body was cut into a bloody man. There were more than 20 wounds, large and small, each of which was deeply visible to the bone. He was able to hang his breath and not die. It can be said that his life was hard, and Zhang Sheng, who was so hard to save him in the end, was saying When this happened, his voice was full of wonder.
But in any case, it is a good thing that people can be rescued, unless the players on both sides are mortal enemies, otherwise, for most players, it is far more useful to capture the fierce generals of the other party than to kill them. You kill him. Less than a few points, it is possible to offend another player to death, but if it is a prisoner, it is much more flexible, there are roughly two ways to go.
The first way is to wait for the opponent's player to find you to redeem people after the war, and then slap the opponent hard. Prisoners of war are special tradable units with special terms.
The second way is to recruit and surrender the prisoner and let the prisoner be transferred to his own command. In this way, he can have one more warrior under his command. No matter which way, it is more useful than killing him.
Luo Ji actually had so many thoughts of recruiting and surrendering. Zhao Pan's illness, and Luo Yong and Guo Zhen's injuries made him suddenly realize that he didn't have as many generals as he had imagined, and he needed it urgently now. Increase the combat power in your hands!
Although doing this may make him and Zhang Yisheng enmity, but now, he doesn't care. Under this situation, it is impossible to want to hang around without anyone guilty, and develop as quickly as possible. One's own civilization, improving one's strength, and changing one's own from 'don't want to offend anyone' to 'no one dares to offend him' is the kingly way!
But now is obviously not the time, let Zhang Yao hang out for a few days, and then grind his temper. In the end, even if the surrender fails, it is good to earn a ransom, and it is not a loss anyway.
Two days later, the player invasion battle has already reached the sixth day. Zhang Yisheng, who had fled and retreated before, never reappeared. Thinking about it, he should have given up. After all, after that battle, the troops under his command suffered heavy casualties. Being captured, this battle, he really has no capital to continue.
On the contrary, the leader of the cavalry did not disappoint Luo Ji. With a sharp whistle, the sentry outside the camp who was in charge of waiting for the signal ran all the way to Luo Ji's camp, "Report to the leader! The reconnaissance team from the outside has sent it. Signal, that cavalry has appeared!"
"Sure enough, it's coming again?" Luo Ji's mouth curled into a cruel sneer, "Boy, do you really think that a half-assed cavalry team can do whatever I want here? Send the order! Prepare to fight! This time, I want him to come and go!"
