Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 774 730: Undermining Morale, Execution Required!
As for why they have to bring all the cloud ladders up, there's no need for much explanation.
Once they reached the top of the city wall, Leng Yu began to count the number of people.
After a round of counting, Leng Yu found out that after the previous battle, only three brothers were injured, while the rest were all standing there unhard.
Not only that, the rumbling sound from afar grew closer at the sa ti.
Were it not for the dense forest in front of them, they would most likely have reached right at their feet by now.
Let us set aside the final preparations being made here and speak of the forest in the distance.
A horse carrying a man with a feathered arrow stuck in him staggered up to the advancing main force.
Upon seeing the approaching horse, the general leading the troops waved his hand back.
In an instant, all the cavalry stopped advancing.
Only then did the horse finally reach them.
At the sa ti, the Yan soldier on the horse imdiately fell forward.
Seeing this, soone quickly ran up and dragged the soldier to the general.
Before the general could ask any questions, the soldier frantically began to speak:
"Report... report to the General, we have already discovered the movents of the other side.
We've engaged them, and except for , everyone else was wiped out there.
There's a very strange person among them; anyone he points at dies instantly."
Although his speech was stamring and very weak, the leading general could still understand it.
However, upon hearing this, his brows furrowed deeply, and he looked at the soldier, who was weak to the extre, and sternly questioned:
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could soone from the other side kill just by pointing? Are you hallucinating?"
Yet, upon hearing the general's shout, the weak soldier imdiately shook his head like a rattle.
It had to be ntioned that, apart from Leng Yu, he was indeed the only one who saw Lin Yi act throughout the entire process clearly.
Now, being questioned by the general, he didn't know where he found the strength to amplify his tone and shouted at the general:
"General, every word I say is true. That guy is very strange; as soon as he points, a huge bloody hole appears on the target's head! He also wields the Thunderbolt Power from the heavens."
Upon hearing this, the general's eyes popped with rage:
"Nonsense! Soone, drag this rabble-rouser away and execute him.
The battle is imminent, and yet he dares to disturb our army's morale. Such a cri deserves death!"
Following his order, two n imdiately dragged the soldier away and executed him before the entire army.
In tis of war, the last thing you want is to uplift the enemy's morale and diminish your own.
If the morale becos unusable, then it doesn't matter how many people there are; it's useless.
After executing the deserter, the general imdiately shouted loudly to everyone:
"Sons of the Great Yan Country, do not listen to that deserter's one-sided story!
Who in this world can wield the Thunderbolt Power?
It is simply laughable and absurd.
Facing the sharp edge of Great Yan Country's soldiers, not to ntion non-existent things, even if there were Immortals, we'd slaughter them!"
Admittedly, this guy is quite skilled at boosting morale.
Just as he said this, the 5,000 cavalryn behind him imdiately shouted loudly:
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Indeed, there were only 5,000 cavalryn following him.
It was not the over ten thousand cavalryn Lin Yi had guessed.
After all, as a modern person, he couldn't tell how many people there were just by sound and vibrations.
Of course, even 5,000 cavalryn present a formidable combat force.
These 5,000 cavalryn, even against an army of 20,000, wouldn't easily be at a disadvantage.
This is why they dared to venture here with 5,000 n.
Naturally, the most important reason is that they were not sent here solely to eradicate the last remaining few dozen of Leng Yu's group.
After all, those few escapees were hardly worth their trouble.
The reason they appeared here is obviously for another purpose.
As ntioned before, behind the Great Wall lies the land of the Zhao Country.
The fact they set out at this ti is quite intriguing.
Since they have discovered the remaining forces, it effectively kills two birds with one stone.
While conducting formal matters, they could conveniently deal with them, preventing any secrets from leaking.
Hence, after a brief pause, the 5,000 cavalry began to advance once again.
However, knowing there's still a small force active here, the general did not rashly press forward with the main force but sent a squad of a hundred cavalry ahead to scout.
After all, anything could happen while marching, and the opponent might have laid traps in the thick forest.
If the main force went through, there could be unexpected losses.
The leading general indeed had so skills.
The cavalry squad imdiately surged forward upon receiving orders.
They knew that the escaped National Protection Army should have been about 200 strong.
And many among them were wounded.
Now, their fighting strength shouldn't be great.
Moreover, a previous skirmish with a 30-man squad had likely already reduced their numbers to under a hundred.
Though sent to scout, if they could annihilate those remnants, each would gain so military rits.
After the main force pressed forward, there would be no rits, not even a hair.
Thus, the prospect of military glory right in front of them excited them imnsely.
Seeing the group surge out, everyone in the main force was envious, presented with blatant military glory.
How could those wall defenders, lacking even horses, compare to their well-equipped Yan cavalry?
