Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 214 Prisoner of War Riot
"Go out and find the prince!"

"Fight with these smart dogs, even if grandpa is chopped into meat paste, don't be buried alive here."

Chen Lin raised his arms and called out, and all the Wu army prisoners in the pit responded. They all waved their fists, expressing that they wanted to work with Chen Lin.

Looking at the rising emotions of the people around him, Chen Lin understood that the morale had come, and now everyone was in a desperate situation. Death would make everyone burst into potential. This is the best time to start a riot.

"Brothers, come with me, go up from the slope, as long as we hit the ground, there is hope of escaping back." Chen Lin made a decisive decision and decided to go out now.

Otherwise, after a while, the Ming army will realize their intentions, and maybe they will hurry up and dispatch heavy troops. In fact, even if they have twice the fighting power before everyone broke out, it will be useless.

Because the Ming army had armored swords and guns and was fully armed, but they had nothing, and they could only die if they confronted them head-on. No matter how hard a human fist is, it is not as strong as a sword made of steel.

Right after Chen Lin said these words, the prisoners of war of the Wu army who wanted to survive began to crowd towards the slope.

But since the Ming army can defeat them on the battlefield, they can also defeat them here.

The Ming army guarding the slope was full of spears, and every time the Wu army prisoners of war approached, four or five people would be killed. After a while, the corpses left by the Wu army prisoners of war formed a parapet here.

However, under the wave after wave of attacks by the Wu army prisoners of war, the Ming army's physical strength gradually increased, and there were more and more Wu army corpses at the entrance of the slope. Slopes, just stepping on dead people can leave the pit.

"Get the crossbowmen quickly." A Baihu guarding the pit ordered his men to call the crossbowmen.

Although the status of crossbowmen was very low in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the power of long-range shooting was not comparable to that of firecrackers and cannons, but fortunately, it saved money, and it was the most cost-effective when dealing with poorly equipped and large numbers of enemies, such as Now the Wu army prisoners in the deep pit.

After Chen Lin commanded Wu Jun's prisoners to charge for a few rounds, a hill of corpses were dropped on the slope, and crimson blood was everywhere around them. It looked horrifying, like a purgatory on earth.

Gradually, the prisoners of war of the Wu army in the deep pit were tired and unwilling to rush up the slope. The thick shields, heavy armor, and long spears of the Ming army on the slope were so powerful that no matter how hard they hit, they remained motionless.

"Brother, let's take a break. The brothers seem to be immobile. The Ming army's gun array is too hard, and the terrain is not good for us." Dongzi noticed the tiredness of the prisoners, so he persuaded Chen Lin to stop for a while. .

"No, if we don't rush out now, we will be buried here alive when the sun goes down." Chen Lin firmly rejected Dongzi's proposal.

Wars are sometimes like this, fight for one breath, although the equipment difference between the two sides is huge, but as long as there is one breath, it doesn't matter how many people are afraid of death.

But once the breath is gone, and the soldiers can't lift their spirits, even a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals will collapse at the touch of a finger.

However, Chen Lin also knew that there was almost no chance of success in such a head-on rush. If he wanted to get out of this deep pit, he could only think of other ways.

Just as Chen Lin glanced across the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood on the slope, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea.

"Yes." Chen Lin thought of a good way.

"What's up." Dongzi didn't know what nonsense his elder brother was talking about.

Chen Lin didn't have time to explain to Dongzi, only to see that he summoned the prisoners of war in the deep pit again, "Brothers, the Ming army's spear formation is too powerful, we can't charge anymore, otherwise none of them will be able to get out."

Everyone understood what Chen Lin said. They all saw how their fellow brothers were knocked down one by one by the Ming army's spears just now, and they were afraid in their hearts.

Although they now have the courage to sink their boats, and the awareness to put them to death and survive, but if they sacrifice their lives, it will be of no use, at most they will dye the tip of the Ming army's spear red.

Then it would be better to lie in the deep pit and wait for death with less effort.

In fact, people are not afraid of death, only that death is meaningless. If you die casually, ten out of ten people will not be willing.

But if death is meaningful, or if one's own death can be exchanged for a good price, then most people will die willingly, especially in this chaotic world where life is so cheap.

"Now we have only one way. The corpses have been piled up almost as high as the ground. We only need to climb up the corpses to escape to the ground." Chen Lin pointed to the hill of corpses on the slope and said to everyone.

"Let's fight out now before it gets dark," Chen Lin suggested.

He only took advantage of everyone's emotions to direct them to attack the Ming army's spear array. According to each person's position and rank, there are many people here who are more qualified than him.

"Why didn't you go out after dark?" Someone asked after Chen Lin finished speaking.

Chen Lin knew that he was not qualified to order them, so he explained patiently, "We don't have time, it's been a while since we killed them, and the Ming army might already be approaching here."

"If we delay any longer, they may bury us alive right away, and we won't be able to escape even at night. The pit is not very large. The Ming Army can send thousands of people to seal this place, and we can't escape at all. .”

Chen Lin's words make sense. They don't have the advantage in numbers, and they don't have much time to make a choice.

If you want to get out from here without being killed by the Ming army, you can only use all means to leave this deep pit.

"Everyone who wants to survive, come with me!" After finishing speaking, Chen Lin walked in front of the crowd, and was the first to climb up the mountain of corpses, using both hands and feet, climbing up quickly like a vigorous monkey.

Seeing that Chen Lin took the lead, the rest of the prisoners followed suit one after another, preparing for the last fight.

……

After hearing the news of the prisoner riots, Yang Pu immediately decided to send out all five hundred households of the standard guard's crossbowmen.

You don't need too many people to suppress the riots of prisoners of war. The original guards plus these five hundred crossbowmen are enough.

After all, the prisoners of war had no weapons, no armor, and were bare-handed. Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wearing leather armor and holding bronze swords, an army like primitive people could easily beat these prisoners of war.

Weapons cannot determine the combat effectiveness of an army. This is true in many cases, but without weapons, the army must have no combat effectiveness. This is also certain.
