Here, Bai Luoqi and Liu Yunxuan got rid of the Shuixia Kingdom's army and rushed to a semi-hilly area one mile outside Mengcheng as quickly as possible. The terrain was low in the middle and high on both sides, with sparse woods and mixed rocky landforms.
, which is a good ambush point.
After arriving, Bai Luoqi saw that the remaining Red Dragon Army had already ambushed the surrounding hidden terrain under the command of Qin Fengming.
"Commander Bai, Deputy Commander Liu..." As soon as Qin Fengming saw Bai Luoqi and Liu Yunxuan appear, he immediately stepped forward and shouted respectfully.
"How many troops are left now?" Bai Luoqi immediately asked Qin Fengming.[
"Less than three thousand." Qin Fengming responded.
Bai Luoqi's eyes narrowed. This small force might not even be able to defeat the Shuixia army that was chasing them, let alone other troops from the Shuixia Kingdom.
"Even if we ambush, if we cannot repel the enemy, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us." Liu Yunxuan worried.
"Where are the people who evacuated together now?" Bai Luoqi certainly understood this, thought for a moment, and immediately raised his head and asked.
"It's just under the hillside over there." Qin Fengming pointed to the hillside not far away.
"Commander Qin, please cooperate with the deputy commander to continue to command and deploy the ambush. Shuixia Kingdom's pursuers will come soon. Only by repelling them can we have a chance to evacuate safely." Bai Luoqi said to Qin Fengming, and then,
He glanced at Liu Yunxuan again.
"You go ahead." Liu Yunxuan seemed to have guessed what Bai Luoqi was going to do, and said understandingly.
Bai Luoqi then turned around and walked towards the hillside.
"Deputy Commander Liu, Commander Bai, what is he going to do?" Qin Fengming couldn't help but ask.
"Our current troops are too small to repel the pursuers, so we must strengthen our troops." Liu Yunxuan responded calmly.
"Strengthen the troops? How to strengthen them? Our troops obviously only have these..." Qin Fengming didn't react for a while.
"Temporary recruitment!" Liu Yunxuan said with a focused look.
"Temporary recruitment? Could it be that Commander Bai wants to recruit troops from the people who have just escaped? I'm afraid this is impossible. Those people are already scared to death. What's more, they have not received any training. Moreover, I think those people
I'm afraid there are already a lot of complaints against our Red Dragon Army..." After Qin Fengming understood the situation, he said with great peace of mind, feeling that recruiting troops at short notice at this time may not be able to solve the crisis at hand.
"He must have his own way. He is a person who is good at making the impossible possible." Liu Yunxuan has full confidence in Bai Luoqi.
"Speaking of which, Commander Bai is really young! But now he is the new commander-in-chief of the Red Dragon Legion. However, is he really a savior who turns decay into a miracle as the rumors say? It is said that Yicheng Yi
Commander Zhan Bai managed to secure Yicheng despite twice the enemy's strength, and also severely defeated the enemy..." While Qin Fengming was amazed, he was still a little unbelievable, because he felt that such a thing could not be done by humans.
of.
"You'll know soon." A slight smile appeared on Liu Yunxuan's charming face, with a bit of expectation.
On the other side, Bai Luoqi had already reached the bottom of the hillside, and saw the Mengcheng people crowded in a dark crowd on a grassland at the bottom of the hillside. They were sitting, standing, lying or leaning. There were about three to four thousand people, including the elderly and the weak.
Women and children accounted for half of them. They all looked very frightened and their bodies were trembling. They seemed to have not woken up from the nightmare of war. Many of them were crying because they had lost their relatives, and they were surrounded by children.
There were cries and the whole scene seemed extremely desolate!
"I am the commander-in-chief of the Red Dragon Legion. I have a few words to say to you. I hope you can listen to them." But Bai Luoqi's eyes condensed, showing a strong momentum, and he was born to be a hegemon.
Feng Feng strode forward and shouted loudly.
Bai Luoqi's words immediately caused the originally noisy crowd to burst into silence. The eyes of the people in Mengcheng were focused on him, and they all looked shocked, as if they were also attracted by his momentum.
Shock.[
"I know that everyone has just lost their home, and many people have lost their loved ones, so they are very sad. I am as sad as you, but the dead have passed away, but the living continue to live. This Shuixia Kingdom
The pursuers are about to arrive, but the current strength of the Red Dragon Army is not enough to repel the pursuers. Therefore, I hope that some of you can stand up and fight side by side with the Red Dragon Army..." Bai Luoqi spoke passionately.
said.
"What nonsense is the Red Dragon Army? They are just a bunch of bastards. They don't even care about us people and just run away for their own lives. Who will believe you..."
"Humph, you just want to say something nice. Don't you just want us civilians to be cannon fodder and send us to death? We won't be stupid enough to be taken advantage of by you!"
"Isn't your army meant to protect us? Why should we let us fight with you..."
"We have just escaped, and they are asking us to die again! You Red Dragon Army are really not human beings!"
…
Bai Luoqi's words suddenly aroused the grievances of these Mengcheng people. All kinds of complaints and even vulgar insults were heard incessantly, because when they withdrew their troops before, the Red Dragon Army in Mengcheng had been in chaos and there was no one at all.
Taking the protection of the people as their responsibility, they are all trying to escape for their own lives. Therefore, these people who have just escaped from the hot water are full of complaints and have developed great distrust of the Red Dragon Army.
Bai Luoqi also expected that the people in Mengcheng would have such a reaction, so he was still very calm. However, it was not easy to persuade these people. But there was not enough time at the moment, so it seemed that he could only do something violent.
It's "medicine".
"Have you said enough?" Bai Luoqi suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly.
When the people in Mengcheng saw this, they seemed a little frightened. They hurriedly shut up, and suddenly became quiet again.
"Yes, the Red Dragon Army did make mistakes this time, but do you think now is the time to hold people accountable? If the Red Dragon Army that can protect you in the end is destroyed, these complaints will be your last
Complain! So, if you don’t want to die, stop complaining, think about your relatives who are still alive around you, and think about your future. Your fight is not for the Red Dragon Army, nor for the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
But for you to survive, for
Your relatives can survive! If you die, but your wife, your mother, and your children can survive because of this, then you will definitely feel lucky. At least, you can still see them continue on the road to hell.
Live..." Bai Luoqi is like a speaker, every word is like a hammer hitting the hearts of the people in Mengcheng in front of them, letting them understand that their current situation is not just complaining, but
