Chapter 438: The Drawbacks of Cold Weapon Warfare

He is not the only king of the Miao people, only this time there are three very powerful branches with the army of King Min, namely Yang Wenbo, the head of the Miao of Duliao Village, and Wu Yingtou, the head of the Miao of Hengling Mountain, plus himself. Speaking of which, the strength of these two groups is not weak, if he is hit hard, I am afraid that if they know, they will only gloat, this kind of thing that makes relatives painful and enemies happy, he will never do it.

"Okay, Zou Xiucai is reasonable, that is, immediately give an order, block the camp gate, and the soldiers are not allowed to enter and leave at will without an order, and at the same time write the matter here as a war report to King Min, asking for support." Originally, it was just to find a step, but now that the excuse has appeared, Miao Jinlong took advantage of the situation to say. And after this order was issued, the Miao army camp, which had less than 70,000, quickly became quiet again.

Whether it was a mercenary or a Southern Ming army, they were all waiting for the Miao army's response.

In their opinion, it is normal for the Miao army who has suffered a loss to be honest and honest, but it is also normal to fight back frantically in anger. But no matter which one it is, they will not back down, and they will all see the trick.

Of course, if you have a choice, you should not use the knife again. After all, in a certain aspect, the Miao army is only an auxiliary force of the Minwang family, and even if they are really destroyed, it will not play a very important role, but will attract the siege of the Minwang family. Of course, unless you have enough strength to fight them head-on, that will be another attitude and idea.

Closely observing Miao Jun's movements, at dawn, Miao Jun suddenly quieted down, which was both reasonable and unexpected. But anyway? They are quiet, and everyone is safe for the time being. Kuang Ye, who was standing on the tower of Gaozhou Mansion and had been blowing a cold wind almost overnight, finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he still had a worry that he didn't say, that is, Miao Jun saw that the mercenaries were powerful and couldn't be provoked, would he shoot them in anger? If this is the case, then it is still necessary to guard against it.

"Teacher, it's dawn, it's impossible for Miao Jun to come to steal the city, you also stayed here all night, go back to the house and have a good rest." Looking at Kuang Ye, who was over sixty years old, Guan Ying, as a student, said in a very distressed tone.

"Huh." Kuang Ye had a smile on the corner of his mouth, although he stayed up all night, he didn't see how sluggish his spirit was, but said to Guan Ying: "See, this is the power of the mercenaries, nearly three times the number of people, or the means of night raids also did not get the slightest benefit, tell me, why is the court unwilling to reuse such a good general?" ”

"Teacher, the emperor must have the emperor's consideration, you better go and rest first." How Guan Ying didn't know the meaning of Kuang Ye's words. In fact, when he first heard that Yang Chendong also wanted the title of king with a different surname, he was also very angry, in his opinion, this was not a sign of loyalty at all. But then I thought about it, Yang Chendong was not exactly a person from Nanming, if it wasn't for the emperor's invitation this time, people wouldn't even care about the Guangdong Rebellion. Now that the Guangdong Rebellion has been solved under the intervention, and the problem of the Yunnan Rebellion is being solved, how can it be done without paying some price? If he were Yang Chendong, I am afraid that he would also make some requests, or even some excessive requests.

This means that different perspectives from different perspectives will lead to different results.

It's like two people, both look at the palm of the hand, you look at the palm of the hand, he looks at the back of the hand, the natural feeling is different, and there is no so-called absolute right or wrong.

Although Guan Ying knew that Yang Chendong's request was a bit excessive, and even the lion opened his mouth, looking at the current situation, it seems that apart from him, it is difficult for others to reverse the situation in a short period of time.

Let's not talk about how Guan Ying looks at Yang Chendong. It is said that when he helped his mentor Kuang Ye to go down to the city tower to rest, the sixth young master was not idle at all in his military camp.

The battle has ended, and under the efficient operation of the Yang Jiajun, the cleaning of the battlefield is also coming to an end, and the wartime statistics have also been reported with the full cooperation of the regimental political commissar, the battalion instructor, and even the instructor, and now they are on the desk in front of him.

Last night's battle was a battle of preparations, which led to such brilliant results. On the battlefield, more than 5,000 enemies were killed, nearly 7,000 were captured, and only about 8,000 escaped.

It is indeed very gratifying to be able to achieve such a result on the battlefield with 7,000 troops, and it can be regarded as a great victory. It's just that after seeing the battle losses on Yang Jiajun's side, Yang Chendong still couldn't be happy.

Not for anything else, just because it is written that Leng Feng was injured in three people, the auxiliaries were seriously injured in two, more than 20 people were injured, more than 60 temporary auxiliaries were killed, more than 30 people were seriously injured, and more than 300 people were slightly injured.

When this kind of battle damage of nearly 100 people killed and more than 300 wounded was reported in front of Yang Chendong, his face sank unconsciously.

This is still a prepared battle, especially the mines still play an absolute role, but they still have to pay such a big price, which makes Yang Chendong see that it is not so reliable to fight cold weapons with cold weapons.

On the battlefield before, the Yang family's army can be said to have won many battles. Even in the face of the Yellow Bandit Army, which had more than 100,000 troops, when they were destroyed, they did not achieve such a large battle loss, all because of the superiority in weapons.

This time, Yang Chendong deliberately removed the new musket to see the effect of the cold weapon, but obviously the result was not so satisfying.

Some people may have said that under the same cold weapon, with less than 400 casualties, 20,000 people were defeated, and 7,000 people were captured. Such a statement cannot be said to be wrong, but at least it does not apply to Yang Jiajun.

Who are Yang Jiajun, and what kind of training are they undergoing? Let's not talk about the elite Leng Feng and auxiliary soldiers, just say that the temporary auxiliary soldiers have also undergone strict training for a while. Among them, there are quite a few people who have performed well in the jungle warfare exercises some time ago. But now, some people have died on the battlefield, there is really nothing, such a big effort, in the end the soldier died before the real battlefield, how can people be happy?

The history of China has proved that they are more fond of goodness like water, that is, they will not be impatient in doing things, and they are used to changing others in a slow environment to determine their own general trend, which is the main reason why most of the founding emperors were not young.

It is said that with Yang Chendong's age, and taking advantage of the current situation, he first had a good performance, and then became the king, even if it is not impossible to watch the entire world, on the contrary, there is a great success rate, so it is not necessary to become the founding king of a generation.

It's just that this way of boiling frogs in warm water is not what Yang Chendong wants, he is familiar with history, he knows very well what will happen in the future, and he understands that it will not take many years to break the backbone of the Han nationality by only a hundred thousand Jiannu people, and then a reign is hundreds of years, until the unforgettable 1840, the backbone of the Qing Dynasty was broken, and that was the humiliating day of the Han people for more than 100 years. And even later, there are great people, but it is even more difficult to restore the previous strength, the world pattern has been formed, and it will become very difficult to go out, even a small step.

Yang Chendong, who used to be a soldier, knows that history too well. It is precisely because he knows more that his goal in life is to strengthen the Han nation, so that the country dominated by Han people can one day stand on top of the world.

But obviously, this is a good wish, and there may be a day when it will be fulfilled, but it must be achieved through the joint efforts of many generations, and he will not be able to satisfy it in that lifetime.

God gave him a chance, let him come to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, which was still strong, and the most important thing was to give him Okura, an almost perverted existence. If you have these advanced knowledge, science, ideas, etc., but still have to move forward in the gradual order of Confucianism, then you are really sorry for all this.

What Yang Chendong needs is to rise quickly, to stand on top of the world, and to have Hermes-Epitek's ultimate goal above all else. Because of Okura, he has such strength, but how big the world is, and how long it will take to conquer it, even he has no bottom in his heart.

But even if he knows that the world is big, Yang Chendong has to do it. And you can only do it early, not late. It may take many years, but if you just think about it and do nothing, it becomes a task that can be accomplished forever.

Great oaks from little acorns grow.!

Yang Chendong decided to act, so if he wanted to increase his speed, he had to speed up his pace. And now, although it is feasible to use cold weapons against cold weapons, at least in this way, the pressure on the arsenal behind him is not so great, but what kind of price does it need to pay to achieve the goal?

The young soldiers who joined the Yang family's army, all their efforts were to let their parents, wives and children be fed and clothed, so that they could rely on and live a better life. For this goal, they dare to use their lives on the battlefield and win victory after victory.

These people have even paid for their lives, and when they look at Yang Chendong, they actually took their lives to fill in the so-called reduction of the pressure on the arsenal and the reduction of the expenditure on advanced firearms, from this point of view, it is completely putting the cart before the horse. What a good boy these are, even if they can't be bought with any amount of gold or silver, how can they be compared with a musket without feelings?

This battle can be regarded as a big shock to Yang Chendong. It was from this battle that he became more aware of what he needed and what he should give.
