Chapter 1009
"Speak!"
Zhu Daqing said solemnly to the messenger who came in to report the situation.
"Lord, the barbarian army has come to Luoyun City, and they are also holding the surrendered Iron Guard prisoners."
"What?"
Zhu Daqing frowned. Although he knew that what was coming would come, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
However, he didn't know how the barbarians planned to deal with the prisoners.
Not long ago.
The barbarian army led by Amobazhen successfully surrounded the Iron Guard.
After Xilin learned that the main general and deputy general of the Iron Guard had fled, and the other generals were all drunkards, he decided to capture all these soldiers who had no intention of fighting.
So he found Amobazhen and explained the situation.
In the end, Amobazhen followed his advice.
They not only captured 30,000 Iron Guards, but also removed all their weapons and equipment.
Then, when the army was assembled to go to Luoyun City, they were taken along.
And this news was also passed to the City Lord's Mansion.
"This Iron Guard is really useless!"
Tao Le sighed lightly, wasting these 100,000 troops, just coming here to join in the fun, and then all of them are gone.
Why did you come earlier?
Zhu Daqing was also very sorry.
You know, they are super short of people now.
If all these 100,000 troops were given to them.
"I estimated the time, and this Iron Guard didn't even last an hour."
But fortunately, they were already prepared, so the only role of the Iron Guard was probably to buy them some time.
Zhu Daqing waved his hand and let the messenger leave.
After the messenger left, Zhu Daqing said: "Let's go, we'll go to the city gate."
"Okay, Lord City Lord."
Zhu Daqing took them to the city wall together.
When they reached the city wall, they saw that the mountains and plains outside the city were full of barbarian troops.
In addition, in front of the barbarian army, there were tens of thousands of Iron Guard prisoners.
"What are they doing?"
Zhu Daqing and others were confused when they saw this situation. What did these guys want to do?
"Not good!"
Tao Le saw something wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid these prisoners will either be used as cannon fodder or be "sent" back to the city."
"What?"
It's okay to use them as cannon fodder, but if they enter the city and the barbarians enter, wouldn't it be the end?
Also, even if the barbarians don't enter, if these Iron Guards attack them when they enter the city, they won't be able to withstand it.
"Military Advisor, what should we do?" Zhu Daqing was a little panicked.
This is not good!
"City Lord, whether it is letting the captives into the city, attacking the city, or anything else, it is not good for us. So..."
Tao Le stopped talking after this.
Zhu Daqing frowned and said, "Okay, I understand."
Zhu Daqing did not intend to accept these captives, but he did not make a decision immediately: "Let's see the situation first."
"Yes!"
At this time, a barbarian cavalryman walked out from the opposite side and shouted at the city gate.
"Hey, everyone on the city wall, listen up, these tens of thousands of captives are yours. Now, we are willing to return them to you. Come, please accept them."
"Don't worry, we will not attack you during your acceptance process."
After saying that, the cavalryman retreated.
Then, the captives walked slowly towards the city wall, without any impatience.
Zhu Daqing, who saw this scene, looked gloomy.
"They are really using these captives." Tao Le said gloomily.
"Yes." Zhu Daqing sighed and said to the general guarding the city next to him, "Let them stop."
"Yes!"
The general guarding the city waved his hand, and the archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows and arrows, waiting for orders at any time to shoot arrows.
The general guarding the city came to the parapet and shouted loudly to the outside: "All captives stop, if you dare to move forward, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
This also scared the captives. After all, they were always paying attention to the situation on the city wall.
Now, they also saw that the archers were ready.
Besides, they were unarmed and had no protection. If this rain of arrows came down, they would either die or be injured.
However, some captives disguised as barbarians hiding inside began to speak.
"You can't kill us! We are also from Wuyang Kingdom."
"Yes, if you kill us, you will be slaughtering your colleagues."
"General, please let us in!"
"General, we just want to go back, and the barbariansI've said that they won't attack us by surprise."
...
However, the generals defending the city had already received orders from Zhu Daqing.
"All archers, get ready!"
The generals defending the city said in a cold tone.
Instantly, all the archers raised their longbows.
And Amobazhen and others who were watching from a distance were also a little surprised.
"Hey, I didn't expect these people to not care about these prisoners. It seems that, Xilin, you miscalculated." Wu Wang Khantar laughed.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. Just use their lives to consume Luoyun City."
Xilin said insidiously.
Since they are not his own people, he doesn't feel sorry at all.
"Haha, Xilin, you are still the one who hurts." Khantar said with emotion.
Amobazhen also agreed with it.
"Okay, we have also seen the situation on the opposite side. Amobazhen, let's retreat first! I will deal with these prisoners first."
"Okay, pass on the king's order to retreat. "
"Yes!"
So, the more than 30,000 Iron Guard prisoners were also called back from the battlefield.
And this time, Amoba really planned to arm them well.
However, before that, these prisoners had to be brainwashed to make them willing to really fight for their lives.
Xilin was very good at this, so he took care of this matter.
"Why did they all retreat?"
At this time, Zhu Daqing and others felt a little puzzled.
Not only did they retreat, but they also called back the prisoners.
Because Luoyun City did not accept them, it was impossible for them to go back now.
Next, these prisoners will accept Xilin's ideological work.
And all this was unknown to everyone in Luoyun City.
But at least, they have temporarily passed the test.
Only Tao Le felt worried.
"Military Advisor, what's wrong?"
"This time, the barbarians came and retreated as they said, very straightforward. I wonder what they are waiting for? "
"What can we wait for?"
Tao Le looked at the captives and shook his head. He couldn't be sure now, but he had some guesses.
"Okay, let's strengthen our deployment here before they attack."
"Okay."
They quickly strengthened their defenses, and Xilin personally met with the more than 30,000 Iron Guards and began to brainwash them, turning them into a barbarian army.
