Killing him wouldn't earn many points and could potentially offend another player.
However, if he is captured, there are much more flexible options available.
The first option is to wait for the opposing player to come looking to ransom him after the battle, then demand a hefty sum.
War captives are considered special tradable units with specific clauses.
The second option is to persuade the captive to defect and join your side.
This way, you would gain an additional fierce general under your command.
Either way, it is more beneficial than killing him.
Lu Gi indeed had some thoughts about persuading the opposing general to defect.
Xiaoan's illness along with the injuries of Luo Yong and Gujan made him suddenly realized that the fierce generals he had at his disposal were not as many as he had imagined.
He urgently needed to increase his military strength.
Although doing so might lead to a feud with Jeang Eong, at this point, he had little choice.
In this situation, it was impossible to navigate without offending anyone.
The goal was to develop his civilization quickly, enhance his strength, and shift from not wanting to offend anyone to know one dares to offend him, which is the true way to go.
However, it was clear that the time was not yet right.
It was best to leave Jeang Yao alone for a few days to temper his temperament.
Ultimately, even if persuasion failed, earning a ransom would still be good.
Anyway, it would not result in a loss.
Another two days passed and the player invasion battle had reached its sixth day.
Jeang Eang, who had retreated previously, had not appeared again, likely having given up.
After all, following that battle, his forces suffered heavy casualties.
And with Jeang Yao captured, he simply lacked the capital to continue fighting.
On the contrary, that cavalry leader did not disappoint Luo Gi.
With a sharp whistle, a sentry responsible for waiting outside the camp rushed to Lu G's tent, reporting, "Chief.
" The outer reconnaissance team has sent a signal.
That cavalry has appeared.
So, they really came again.
A cruel smile crept onto Luo G's lips.
This kid actually thought he could do as he pleased here with just a makeshift cavalry team.
Pass the orders.
Prepare for battle.
This time, I want to ensure he returns empty-handed.
End of chapter.
Chapter 161.
There are actually more tricks within tricks.
The fast horse beneath him galloped swiftly, raising a cloud of dust wherever its hose struck.
Just as logic had guessed, the old score between the two of them was not so easily settled.
After a brief rest and adjustment, the cavalry leader decisively led his cavalry squad along the road between the hills and mountains for another charge.
As the distance between the two sides closed, the cavalry leader's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment when he saw Logic and his companions, who had long been waiting at the end of the road.
He had originally intended to launch a surprise attack, but to his surprise, he was spotted before he could reach the enemy trib's camp.
Was it that sound from before? He had clearly heard the sharp whistle from the reconnaissance team.
And although he did not understand how that sound was produced, it was evident that it had alerted the other side.
This time, Logic was fully prepared.
A series of wooden pillars crossed and fixed together, known as Hor's refusal, blocked off the entire passage.
Behind these barriers, 30 m away, stood three rows of soldiers.
The first row held large shields.
The second row tightly gripped stone spears that were more effective against cavalry.
and the last third row consisted of archers wielding long bows.
At this moment, if Jeang Yishing had seen the scene, he would have surely spat blood and anger because at this very moment, the large shields in the hands of the first row of soldiers were precisely the armor equipment of his shielding troops.
Previously, when he had ordered the shielding troops to switch to shield soldiers, these large shields, which were considered a burden, were all left on the battlefield.
After that, he was busy escaping and had no chance to pick them back up, ultimately benefiting Logic for nothing.
However, the cavalry leader seemed unaware of what this formation meant.
The momentum of the cavalry charge did not stop, and it must be said that he was really over a million years behind logic in terms of vision.
In every sense, the poorly informed native simply could not understand the configuration and formation that logic had clearly set up to counter the cavalry.
It was precisely because of this blatant configuration that it could be effective.
Otherwise, if it were a player on the opposite side, it would likely change their tactics and not charge straight in.
80 m, 60 m, 40 m with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Logic stood at the very back of his formation, quietly counting down in his heart.
As the distance grew closer, his right hand was already raised, just waiting for the panicked winnie of the war horses to ring in his ears.
Suddenly, what? What's going on? The cavalry team charging ahead suddenly lost balance from the front of the line, and the ground trampled by their horses actually collapsed, revealing a not so shallow ravine.
The expressions on the faces of the knights sitting on horseback turned to sheer terror.
The entire charge formation instantly collapsed into chaos.
Fire all arrows.
After a long wait, Logic decisively swung his right hand down.
The archers, who were wellprepared, unleashed a volley of arrows as soon as Logic gave the order, marking the beginning of a massacre.
Seeing the dire situation of the cavalry team, Jeang Yang, who was hiding on the other side, couldn't help but burst out a string of curses.
Damn it.
That configuration clearly intended to wipe out the cavalry.
But it turns out there are more tricks within tricks.
Deliberately putting on a front to face them head on.
The natives never expected this guy was sneaky enough to dig a ravine trap in front.
They fell for it completely.
Leader, should we still fight? Fight my ass.
Jeang Yishing grimaced, glancing with a pained expression.
Did you not see the setup from that guy named Logic? The ravine.
The horse's refusal.
The large shield soldiers.
a triple defense.
Even if the native cavalry isn't completely wiped out, they will lose more than half their strength.
I was hoping to see if they could inflict mutual destruction and then take advantage of the chaos.
But now it seems whether that native can escape alive is a question.
Why should we act now? That would just be helping him draw aggro.
And I'm not doing that, though unwilling.
At this moment, Jeang Yishing completely conceded defeat, just waiting for the 7-day deadline to arrive so he could retreat.
He and Logic were only facing each other for the first time.
There was no deep-seated enmity, and there was no need to fight to the bitter end for another week.
Returning to the perspective of the cavalry team, the ravine trap had indeed caused severe damage to the cavalry, and the almost instantaneous rain of arrows resulted in clear casualties.
grinding his teeth.
The cavalry leader's face turned extremely grim.
His cavalry team, which had been invincible since its establishment, was unexpectedly dealt such a blow, which he found hard to accept for a moment.
Not to mention, just a few days ago, he had easily scattered the enemy's forces with a single charge.
The stark contrast between the two situations made it even harder for him to digest.
clenching his legs tightly around the horse's belly.
The cavalry leader suddenly yanked the res in his hand, managing to control the panicked waror and leap out of the ravine.
Logic was not too surprised by this.
After all, time and manpower were limited, and the ravine trap could not be dug too deep.
The initial goal was not to directly annihilate them, but to use this trap to slow down the cavalry's charge.
This was crucial.
What is the most powerful weapon of cavalry? is the charge or rather speed.
A cavalry charge at full speed can unleash devastating destructive power.
But once they lose their speed, the cavalry is like a tiger without teeth with its threat level reduced by at least half.
