Chapter 1045: demobilize captives

Popular recommendation:

"Hahaha, there was a soft guy kneeling in front of me last night begging for mercy."

"As a result, Uncle Ben cut his throat with a knife, watched his body twitch, drained the blood in his veins and died."

After the weather cleared up the next day, there was a festive atmosphere in High Court City. They survived the catastrophe and defeated their enemies in an almost impossible way.

Heros Targaryen's army suffered heavy losses, and the casualties were unknown. They were soaked in the water and marched overnight to retreat in the direction of King's Landing.

A knight from Stormland was brag loudly with a wooden wine glass, which attracted a lot of laughter in the audience.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Empire who put down their weapons and surrendered last night cast hostile glances here.

Now they are cleaning the battlefield and doing some dirty work. After all, they are prisoners, and they were enemies the day before, so it is normal for them not to be seen.

"Bah, if it weren't for that heavy rain..."

"They are already dead these bastards!"

A young imperial soldier's eyes were a little red, and he said bitterly.

His friends in the barracks all died in the siege last night.

"Okay, kid!"

"If you don't want to get that guy poking your **** with a stick, you better keep your mouth shut!"

And when the young imperial soldier was about to say something unconvincing, a gray-haired prisoner with a wrinkled face behind him stopped him.

Although the vocabulary and tone of his speech were a bit rough, it just happened to help him.

Because on the other side, the storm knight who was bragging happened to look over, as if he had just heard something.

His duty now is to supervise the work of these captives, and after he found nothing, he withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with his friends beside him.

"Thank you, uncle."

And the imperial soldier, whose eyes were flushed just now, was a little angry, and his throat rolled when he saw this scene.

Then he turned his head and thanked Bronn.

"If you just let this guy hear it, at least you'll get a whip."

The supervisor did not know his name, but only knew that he was a knight from the Errol family.

The other party has a hot temper and likes to beat people, especially for them prisoners of war. Although it was only for one night, many people already resented or feared this guy.

And although Bronn's hair is already white, he still has a lot of strength, and he does not slack off in his work.

thump--

He dragged a soldier's body and threw it into the hole of thousands dug in advance. Hearing the other party's thanks, he just snorted and didn't care.

"Ah, that's right."

"Uncle, which army are you from?"

Then the young imperial soldier also did his chores, looked up and down at Bronn curiously, and then asked strangely.

Because according to his understanding, there seem to be few people as old as Bronn in their legion, and these are also good cooks.

Unless the general is insane, how can the cooks in the legion rush to the front line and be captured? Haven't eaten yet?

"Don't think too much, I'm not from you."

"I'm from Teck Village."

However, the gray-haired Bronn glanced at the other party, snorted again, shook his head and said.

"You adults have said that as long as we can break into the High Court, we will be set free and given three golden dragons to each of us."

After that, Bronn shrugged his shoulders slightly, and several young farmers behind him nodded hurriedly after receiving his hint.

"That's right."

Teck Village is a Reach Village.

Although the soldiers under Helos have always ridiculed that Yin Meng's army is composed of farmers, how can the two armies fail to capture strong men in wars in this era.

And what Bronn said was the norm in war.

They grabbed some strong men from nearby to make up the number. During the war, some people pushed them to the front, and they were allowed to be cannon fodder with great profits.

Otherwise, where did the word cannon fodder come from?

Even if the generals of Zaihutu are fighting, it is impossible to directly send elites to attack the city. It is not a good exchange to exchange the lives of their elite soldiers for the enemy's bows and arrows.

The young imperial soldier was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face was filled with guilt.

"Sorry, uncle..."

"Everyone! Come here!"

But before he could finish speaking, a messenger under the second prince ran over.

He brings good news to the descendants of them...

…

The second prince of the Empire, Inmon Targaryen, decided to release all the prisoners captured last night.

Anyway, their weapons and armor have been put away. In this era, a complete set of armor is worth more than a human life.

And just as Oberon expected, Yin Meng captured so many prisoners, but there were not enough people to take care of them, but he couldn't let it go.

Otherwise, once the army starts chasing the enemy, Gao Ting's hometown will change hands immediately.

Therefore, Yin Meng dismissed all the captives and let them return to their hometowns~www.NovelMTL.com~ Thank you His Royal Highness Yin Meng. "

And the captured soldiers were very excited when they heard the news.

After all, you only know the value of freedom when you lose it, and life as a prisoner is not easy.

However, although the person who called the summons claimed to ask them to leave the High Court and return to their hometowns, no one actually listened to this sentence.

Because the empire is now a professional army, these people are soldiers, and they receive fixed salaries.

And once they leave the army, they don't even have basic life skills. Today, mercenaries in Westeros are not very popular. If they want to find a job, they have to travel across the ocean to the East Continent.

After all, what's more, many of them have accumulated military merit and are about to be knighted, or they were originally officers.

After this incident, there are not many people who want to give up and go back to their hometown. Most of them focus on chasing after the large army after leaving the High Court.

"The Golden Dragon Lao Tzu they promised is going to come back!"

And Bronn whispered in a low voice.

Many soldiers around him looked at him, although they secretly laughed at the old guy for not being afraid of getting money but not spending his life, but he didn't doubt anything, instead he believed in his fabricated identity.

Afterwards, the group of surrendered troops who were arrested last night were released, and all their weapons and stomachs were confiscated, but they were given food rations for a few days, even including the expenses on the way back to their hometown.

This group of surrendered imperial soldiers was grateful to Dade, and thanked the second prince Yin Meng from the bottom of their hearts.

However, after leaving Gao Ting with the return travel expenses gifted by Yin Meng, most of this group of soldiers immediately embarked on the journey of chasing after the large army.
