Chapter 117

Once the number of deaths reaches one-tenth, it means the casualty rate in the team has already reached half!

Ordinary soldiers will collapse at a casualty rate of thirty percent!

Only elite veterans can possibly maintain an orderly retreat at a casualty rate of fifty percent!

As for troops that can still fight with a casualty rate of over seventy percent!

That is enough to be famous in history!

As for those with a casualty rate of over ninety percent that still have combat effectiveness, Lin Yang only knows of one!

"You find a way to see if you can incorporate them!"

These are all veterans, and Zhang Chao will be nothing but bones in a grave sooner or later!

Lin Yang might as well use the soldiers under his command!

"Yes, my lord!"

Receiving the order, Li Gang turned and left!

Looking at the many injured soldiers outside, Lin Yang realized the cruelty of war for the first time!

Once a battle begins, it is truly a fight to the death!

At this moment, in the camp, there were a large number of injured soldiers, as well as the bodies of some soldiers who died in battle that needed to be taken back for burial!

The ancients valued being buried in the earth to find peace, and bodies after a battle also needed to be dealt with!

Meanwhile, in the camp on the other side

More than three thousand bound soldiers were being held here, each one looking listless!

This group of people were the surrendered soldiers!

In ancient warfare, once defeated, for soldiers, even surrendering was not a good choice!

Because they were surrendered soldiers!

They needed to go through an investigation before it was possible for them to enter the army!

Some might not even be able to enter the army and would be disbanded!

Some might be arranged to become tenant farmers!

But compared to death, surrendering was ultimately a way to live!

"Come, come, come, time to eat!"

Just then, several soldiers were seen walking over, carrying a wooden box, and a rich aroma wafted from the box!

"Come, come, come, taste today's meat, the lord specifically provided it for us to heal!"

The soldiers said, then opened the wooden box, and one could see pieces of roasted meat and braised chicken legs inside!

Watching the soldiers feast, the surrendered soldiers all drooled!

They had been seeing this scene for several days now!

"My god, these people actually eat meat at every meal!"

"No wonder they are all so sturdy!"

"Yes, no wonder they fought so desperately when we were fighting before!"

"Damn, if someone gave me meat at every meal, I would fight desperately too!"

"Sigh, stop thinking about it, it's good enough that we have some porridge to drink!"

"......"

Watching others eat meat at every meal, it would be a lie to say the surrendered soldiers weren't envious!

What was it they ate under Zhang Chao's name!

They could only barely get enough to eat!

Compared to the food of the opponent's soldiers!

The difference was not just a little bit!

With eyes watching longingly, at this moment, everyone was exceptionally yearning for this meat!

"Someone!"

Just then, Li Gang's figure walked over and shouted loudly!

Li Gang's arrival made the soldiers who were feasting stand up one after another!

"The lord has ordered that the army is currently short of soldiers and needs to recruit a batch of surrendered soldiers to expand the army!"

Li Gang, who had arrived, shouted directly with a loud voice!

In an instant!

Hearing that they were recruiting surrendered soldiers to expand the army, the surrendered soldiers were all excited!

"My lord, recruit me, I am strong and sturdy!"

"My lord, don't listen to him, recruit me, I am a veteran!"

"My lord, I know how to ride, recruit me!"

"Me, me, me, my lord, look over here, recruit me!"

"........"

Having been captured by Lin Yang for several days, this group of surrendered soldiers had seen it all!

They had long been drooling over how rich the food was in Lin Yang's army!

Now hearing the news of recruiting surrendered soldiers, a group of people were all teary-eyed and excited!

They wished they could stick to Li Gang's legs to recommend themselves!

It was also being a soldier!

Being a soldier here meant eating meat at every meal!

This was not something ordinary soldiers could have!

Seeing that as soon as he said it, this group of surrendered soldiers was so impatient, Li Gang knew that all of this was the help of the lord's food!

He had deliberately kept them hungry for a few days, and now that he mentioned recruiting, they were all impatient!

"What are you shouting about!"

He shouted angrily with displeasure. Although everyone wanted to join, the army was currently short of soldiers!

Among them were many wounded soldiers!

Li Gang couldn't possibly recruit them all!

"You few, screen them well!"

"If there are any remnants of Zhang Chao among them, show no mercy!"

Zhang Chao was not dead yet, so Li Gang had to be a bit careful!

After instructing the soldiers who were handling the matter, Li Gang turned and left!

Watching Li Gang, the leader, leave, the remaining group of people all looked back at the soldiers responsible for recruitment!

"This lord, look at me, I know how to ride, recruit me!"

"This lord, I can pull a two-stone bow, recruit me!"

"Look at me, I have a younger sister at home who looks good, recruit me!"

"......"

At this moment, in order to join the army, the surrendered soldiers used all kinds of skills!

And among the crowd, a slightly thin man, seeing this group of people, gritted his teeth and said directly!

"This lord, my father is the Separate Commandery Commandant of Guanglingcheng, recruit me into the army, and I will make my father surrender to the lord!"

As soon as the words were spoken, for a time, the large field became silent!

Even the man who had previously brought up his younger sister was stunned!

Hiss!

Good fellow!

This was selling out his own father directly!

"Oh? You say your father is the Separate Commandery Commandant of Guanglingcheng?"

That was a Separate Commandery Commandant!

In charge of two thousand soldiers!

In Guanglingcheng, he was a middle-level official!

"Yes, yes, yes, my father is the Separate Commandery Commandant of Guanglingcheng, Zhao Ye!"

Zhao Zicheng said hurriedly at this moment, the expression in his eyes exceptionally sincere and urgent!
