I am a bastard in the Three Kingdoms Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Total Defeat In ancient wars, field battles were the most difficult, because if a team suffered more than 70% casualties, it would basically collapse. This was inevitable. Only a very small number of elite troops could fight to the death. Those who could hold on until more than 50% of their troops collapsed were already elite troops! Even the strongest elite troops were still human beings, and they would also be afraid. Collapse was the most normal thing. Even modern armies would collapse, let alone ancient armies.

Therefore, when Lu Ming and Jiang Qin launched a joint raid, the Yellow Turban bandits had already shown some signs of instability. They are strong as a dog with the wind in their favor, but run fast against the wind. This is the characteristic of bandits. They just rush forward in a rush without any rules. It is no wonder that the officers of the regular army all sneered at the Yellow Turban Army. From an expert’s perspective, these bandits are not a threat at all!

“You bastard! Who do you think you are? Take my sword!” Hu Long roared and chopped at Jiang Qin. He was angry and humiliated by being besieged. If he lost this battle, even if he escaped, he would be a dog for others without soldiers, and his life would be worse than death. There were factions fighting inside, and he had offended so many enemies before, they would tear him to pieces!

Jiang Qin is a second-rate general. Even if he is ranked second, he is still one of the top ones. Those with a strength of 80 to 90 are second-rate generals. Even if they are second-rate generals, there is only one in ten thousand, and they are still extraordinary figures. Therefore, when he saw Hu Long dare to challenge him, he would wake up with laughter in his dreams, so he picked up his sword and fought the opponent head-on!

Bang! Swoosh! Jiang Qin stood still, and Hu Long was shaken back and forth. His palm was a little painful, and a trace of blood flowed out from the broken palm. Just a fight was enough to shake his palm to pieces. How horrifying was this strength!

Before Hu Long finished retreating, Jiang Qin stepped forward and chopped off his head alive in front of Hu Long’s desperate eyes!

“No!” Hu Long screamed, and his head was chopped off. He was caught in Jiang Qin’s hand, and his consciousness gradually faded away, leaving only endless darkness.

Jiang Qin lifted Hu Long’s head, took a deep breath and then shouted loudly, “The leader of the bandits has been killed, and those who surrender will not be killed!”

Lu Ming chopped off Pang Bo’s right arm with a spear, and ordered his personal soldiers to tie him up. He also shouted, “The leader of the bandits is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!”

More than 1,200 bandits surrendered after only 200 of them died. They didn’t even have a bit of backbone, and they all looked at Lu Ming with fear. Obviously, Lu Ming’s killing spree made them feel very scared. It was obviously a long spear, but it could create a fragmented picture, just like a murderous demon.

“Tie them up, leave some of them to dig pits, chop off the heads of the dead bandits, this is our credit. Bury the bodies on the spot, don’t let the plague spread.” Lu Ming ordered, and took Pang Bo to the side to interrogate. If he hadn’t seen the red dot on the map, he would never have discovered this ambush. Who would have thought that the bandits would ambush officers in Luoyang!

“Yes, my lord.” Jiang Qin was still a little excited and ordered the soldiers to tie up the surrendered bandits to prevent them from surrendering. At the same time, he asked the soldiers to supervise these surrendered bandits to dig pits.

At first, these bandits were a little hesitant, thinking that they were buried in a pit. This was not without precedent. At least Dong Zhuo had done this before, and even Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had buried prisoners alive. Firstly, there was no extra food, and secondly, these bandits had already rebelled and were no longer human beings. It would be okay to kill them and save energy.

Jiang Qin had to let the soldiers pass on the message that they would only bury the dead, not bury them alive, and that they still had a chance to redeem themselves. If they performed well, they could join the ranks of officers and soldiers and clear themselves. This statement made people half-believing and half-doubting. Although they did not dare to believe it completely, at least it would not make them have wild thoughts anymore.

Pang Bo, whose arm was broken, was sweating profusely from the pain.

The blood on the broken arm had dried up, and he looked extremely creepy.

Lu Ming’s spear was against his throat.

“Tell me who sent you here, and I will kill you.

I will let your family live, and they do not deserve to die.

If you hide it or do not tell me, I will kill everyone you know.

Starting from your family, your brothers, cousins, uncles, and then your village, I will kill everyone you know, and finally you!

”

Pang Bo was also stunned by these vicious words.

The Han troops he had fought in the past were not so cruel.

At most, they would just kill directly.

There was no threat, and they were not so vicious.

Looking at Lu Ming’s cold eyes, Pang Bo was sweating profusely, and he didn’t know what to say.

He moved his lips, and after seeing Lu Ming’s impatient eyes, he burst into tears and said, “Sir, please spare my life.

I really didn’t know.

Two days ago, someone sent a letter to our stronghold, saying it was for me and Hu Long.

It said that the lord would pass by here, and asked us to ambush here, kill all the officers and soldiers, and rob the gold and silver treasures that the lord transported.

We really don’t know who it is.

Whoever that person is, he must be one of the big families in Anyi City.

There are only two big families in Anyi City, the Jin family and the Yang family.

”

Lu Ming touched his chin, not sure whether the incident was true or not. If it was true, then one of the two families, Jin and Yang, was responsible. The Yang family was a branch of the Hongnong Yang family. There were many branches of the Yang family, and these branches would also control part of the power of a place. They had to pay a lot of salary to the clan every year. Outstanding talents would be absorbed into the clan and into the ancestral hall for future generations to worship.

“Hmph, I’ll spare your life for now. If what you said is true, I’ll let you go and take you away.” Lu Ming waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to hold Pang Bo down. He wouldn’t die in a short time, and if he died, he died, he didn’t care.

Soon, the dead bandits were buried and the wounded soldiers were bandaged.

Lu Ming brainwashed these captives, promising that if they performed well, he would reward them by joining the officers and soldiers and fighting bravely.

After returning to Luoyang, they could choose to leave or stay.

If they left, they could join his industry and work, and have a job so that they would not starve to death.

These are not unconditional, but they have to work hard to get them.

If they don’t perform well, what awaits them is beheading, after all, they are rebelling!

This is a beheading!

It is reasonable and there is not even a single fault to find!
