The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 294 Absolute Utilization

The archers were all suppressing the enemy from the rear and had little chance to move forward.

This left the rebels in the city with no chance to fight back.

In this wave, Ning Yi used a lot of kerosene, but he didn't care. This wave only caused the barbarians to lose tens of thousands of troops.

The losses were much greater than those suffered in several days of siege.

Looking at the rebels who were retreating in panic and running back one after another, the barbarian Khan's face was very dark.

He looked at the city wall where it was already dark and the shouts of the Wu State defenders were heard everywhere. He knew that he had been tricked.

And he was cheated miserably.

At least tens of thousands of rebels could not return, and only less than 10,000 returned.

Of course, he didn't care about the tens of thousands of rebels and wouldn't feel sad even if they all died.

But if this happened, he would feel that he was at a great loss, as the defenders in the city would suffer almost no losses.

"Little thing, if I catch you, I will cut you into pieces." The barbarian Khan said viciously, biting his back teeth.

Aturu didn't dare to say a word. The Khan was betrayed by his own son-in-law in the city. He must be very angry. No one would be stupid enough to provoke his anger now.

The rebels who came out of the city's inner city walls were all identified as officers.

It was still the same old routine, and the officers were beheaded one by one.

Then the personal guards were also dragged out and beheaded.

The soldiers were terrified and some even panicked. However, they were all dealt with by the defenders.

The others finally cried and kept quiet.

Let them also know that although they have been showing off their power all along, when they really meet the Marshal of Hushan Pass, His Royal Highness the Prince, they will find that he is even more ruthless.

But unlike other people, they won't be given a chance to survive.

People usually capture a large number of rebels and win over the officers first. After all, it is almost impossible to kill all the soldiers with so many troops.

But Ning Yi killed the officers first, and after he dealt with them all, only a group of soldiers were left, which made it much easier to deal with them.

Finally, let them screen one by one honestly.

In addition to the border troops, there are also the northern city defense troops, which also include many vassal soldiers.

The barbarian Khan incorporated tens of thousands of soldiers from the vassal kings.

But what surprised Ning Yi was that among the border troops, it was found that thousands of people had served as cavalry.

Only then did he realize that after many of these border troops surrendered, the barbarians had already confiscated their war horses.

The barbarians have plenty of cavalry, so we don't need them at all, to avoid them running away on horseback one day.

Ning Yi naturally would not miss such a good opportunity and immediately caught them all.

After careful screening, all of them were put down at once, and the next step was to teach them a lesson and educate them carefully.

Slowly brainwash them, and finally absorb them all into his cavalry team.

The reason why Ning Yi is weak is largely because he has too few cavalry. If he had tens of thousands of elite cavalry, who in the world would dare to ignore him?

Most of the large number of cavalry of the Dawu Kingdom are on the border and in the northwest.

One of them was a horse breeder, and the other was there to guard the border town against barbarian attacks.

On the second day, the barbarian army did not attack the city. They suffered heavy losses in the battle yesterday, and almost 40,000 soldiers were lost.

The barbarian Khan needed to take a good rest and regroup. After all, he had been attacking for so many days and saw that Hushan Pass was still impregnable. However, he had lost tens of thousands of rebels he brought with him.

If this continues, not many of the rebels, who are almost getting madly excited, will be willing to continue the attack.

Ning Yi also took this opportunity to reorganize the rebels.

Others are newly captured prisoners and cannot be trusted, so it is easy for something to go wrong.

However, Ning Yi likes to use prisoners who have just surrendered. After screening, he uses former border army prisoners to serve as grassroots officers with those who perform well.

The above are some of the mediocre performances of the last servants in the tenth period.

Moreover, the criminal army at the beginning had suffered heavy casualties recently. After a slight reorganization, with promotions for those who deserved it and rewards for those who deserved it, the combat effectiveness of the criminal army increased sharply after it was reorganized into 20,000 troops.

Everyone sees the hope of promotion, who wouldn’t be happy?

There was also a book boy who performed outstandingly in the criminal army and had been on the battlefield, and he became the backbone of the criminal army.

As for the injured servants, they are extremely precious. Whenever a servant is injured, the medical treatment he receives is enviable.

There are also some soldiers and junior officers who were once injured and served as officers in the newest criminal army.

Once a soldier is injured, he will often receive various kinds of care and attention from Ning Yi. He only needs to personally express his condolences and make the wounded soldiers shed tears of gratitude.

In this day and age, whenever there is a war, many wounded soldiers are abandoned.

There are almost no people like Ning Yi who treats wounded soldiers as seriously as he does.

That's how it is. The wounded soldiers who were educated, moved and brainwashed became Ning Yi's biggest support group.

Once a group of wounded soldiers recover, they will immediately become team leaders. Everyone is willing to follow Ning Yi. Not only can they get promoted, but they also don’t have to worry about getting injured. Who wouldn’t be happy?

Moreover, Ning Yi also promised that after the war, each of them would be given a wife, and after their death, they would be given a family line to continue their family line, and they would be buried in the so-called martyrs' cemetery. They all screamed and fought desperately with the barbarians.

In just a few days, Ning Yi had reorganized an army of 20,000 criminals.

The middle level includes servants who have fought in the battlefield themselves, as well as those who have recovered from injuries.

Below are wounded soldiers serving as grassroots officers.

They were all sent to the front line.

Qin Haifeng said worriedly, "Your Highness, they are newly captured after all. They could easily rebel again. They are not reliable."

He had personally witnessed Ning Yi reorganizing the criminal army several times and making them obedient. More importantly, the criminal army's combat effectiveness was still strong. They were at the forefront, shouting for war and killing.

But can it be possible to send them directly to the battlefield without any training?

Ning Yi said leisurely: "Of course it can be done. After a few days of fighting, they will be able to return home."

"Even more reliable than those Beijing troops."

As he spoke, Ning Yi looked at the few soldiers from the Beijing camp who were still busy.

He knew that most of these soldiers from the Beijing camp, whether inside or outside the city, were loyal to the old emperor.

Unless they are all defeated and injured to the point of being disabled, and then reorganized, only then can they become his own troops.

The battle at Hushan Pass was quite fierce, with fighting taking place everywhere.

Even some small and unimportant passes were fought fiercely.

But this battle is also an opportunity for Ning Yi.

It is also a great opportunity for him to quickly expand his strength.

Once he succeeds, when the war is over, all the more than 100,000 soldiers here can be gathered into his hands.

Including his own private army, he has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. If he goes to the border town again, he can reorganize the remaining tens of thousands of Han Dingtian's soldiers and horses.

Ning Yi had enough confidence to go back and really hold the emperor hostage.

At that time, the old man Wu Huang would never have thought that the army that came to resist would all be willing to follow Ning Yi.
