Chapter 67: Running Out of Bullets

There is a saying in later generations that it is easy to provoke a war, but how to end it is very difficult.

According to current calculations, the Elders have absolute strength to overturn ten Vietnamese, but that is at the expense of other things such as unifying China economically or sacrificing the speed of overseas colonization.

Therefore, in any case, it was impossible for the imperial capital to invest too much in Vietnam, and the total number of troops sent in the initial period was only 500 people, a battalion, and after preparing to stabilize the port bridgehead, it slowly used manpower from Liangguang to make a layout.

That's the planning conundrum.

In the layout of the "center", what is hoped is that after the Vietnamese civil war is provoked, the more tragic the fight, the better, not to seek to be as miserable as the Vietnam War, but at least for the first half of the year, the strength and potential of the Zheng clan in the north will be completely exhausted, and the presbyterian church will be able to pick peaches in a beautiful manner.

If the game is really played as a trick for the rich and noble brother to help his father-in-law ascend the throne and become the emperor, it will be extremely bad, judging from the fact that after accidentally sitting back and watching the reunification of Vietnam, he began to arrange the anti-Chinese behavior in the country without even a break, and it is inevitable to be pitted.

For the Presbyterian Church, anything can be done, but the things that are pitted are not done.

Wargaming is a very interesting thing, pointing out the country on the map, is a favorite thing for children, but when it comes to specific matters, the so-called soldiering can be limited everywhere, because there are always unexpected situations that you can't think of.

But since the battle has begun, there is no possibility of ending, imitating Lord Wei in Hongji to make a vote, after losing his life and desperately on the trick, Zheng Zhun's soldiers are also united, the action is very fast, under the command of the old commander, the queue is crooked and began to pull out, of course, this kind of marching army column wants to pay attention to front and rear cover, it is difficult to support each other, fortunately, their enemies are very weak, but it is also a model of rookies pecking each other.

Even if he is not a veteran, Mu Rongshan also understands his situation, he did not continue to stay on the Xiangshuai, but directly led the team and followed Zheng Zhun by his side, which can be regarded as a gesture of support, of course, in order to prevent Zheng Zhun from suddenly rebelling under the inspiration of his relatives, Mu Rongshan also took Hu Tiehua Ji Bingyan with him, and left the Xiangshuai to Bao's father-in-law, and also made a special joke, saying that as long as Bao's father-in-law started, the women on his ship could be casual.

Father-in-law Bao was bullied and could only roar and fight back, but the progress of the war was very fast.

The two sides fought an encounter in the field, and because the battlefield was one-way transparent, the forward troops under Zheng Zhun had already prepared in their hearts.

The winter in Vietnam is really not cold, but compared to the heat of summer and the tall meadows, the land is empty, but it is not flat, so the battle is not a distance and queue to be shot, but a post-war dog-tooth scuffle.

Relying on the advanced weapons in their hands, a squad of the Mauser battalion retreated after repelling several times the enemy, or retreated, this is the first actual combat of the Vietnamese army, in fact, not only is not frightened after killing, but very excited, the guilt of killing is nothing to these men who originally licked blood with a knife, but felt extremely relaxed, of course, Hu Tiehua on the side took the opportunity to reprimand these guys who wasted bullets.

"The co-authorship is from you shooting targets, do you know how much a shuttle bullet is, ten bullets are one or two silver! In the countryside, a tael of silver may be able to take away a yellow flower girl, and as many women you shoot out, you will save some bullets in the future. ”

In order to seize the right to speak, Mu Rongshan naturally supported Hu Tiehua to occasionally exert his power like this, not for anything else, but for the right to speak.

The team was angry, and his subordinates were reprimanded by "outsiders" like this, so they naturally said: "Instructor Hu, the brothers are fighting very hard, and there are still a lot of bullets. ”

"A lot?" Hu Tiehua said: "Do you understand, now that the port behind is blocked, at least it will take an unknown number of days for Lord Zheng Zhilong to open up the communication line and send the follow-up ammunition in, you are so wasteful now, what if you run out of bullets!" ”

Hu Tiehua looked anxious, and let Zheng Zhun, who came to see the results of the battle, look at it, although it was not very comfortable, but he also understood that according to what Mu Rongshan said, it would take time for Zheng Zhilong to open up the communication line, and a rifle that ran out of bullets was almost like a burning stick.

Since his rebellious ambition was stimulated, it has basically gone all the way to the dark, especially the dragon robe, after wearing it on his body, he feels that the pores all over his body exude a refreshing breath, and once he gets on his body, it will be difficult for him to give up. At this moment, in order to avoid becoming a target, Zheng Zhun is still wearing a military uniform, but he already has the emperor's style, he is fully aware of Hanoi's true strength, as long as the new Mauser gun is ready, it will really be chasing and fighting.

However, what Hu Tiehua said suddenly was also right, ten people used up the five hundred bullets they carried with them in one go, and finally came back bare-handed, and these five hundred bullets, but they were replaced by seven or eight corpses, from the perspective of the battle damage ratio, a very perfect exchange ratio, but for Zheng Zhun, he quickly understood the meaning.

The bullets were transported to Hongji, even with the support of Mu Rongshan, it would cost one tael of silver and ten bullets, that is to say, these people actually spent fifty taels of silver on him to die.

A life is more than ten taels of silver, which is really ......

So, many times, human life is so expensive, as in the days of American imperialism, usually the infantry was huddled behind the wall, and then fired hundreds of bullets into the air, and finally, "Lao Tzu was suppressed by the terrorists, coordinates ...... Call for air support! ”

After a while, A-10 came over and threw a few balls and eliminated a few terrorists who were armed with no more than a hundred dollars......

Or is it that question, war in the era of hot weapons is money, you give the money for missiles to the terrorists, and you are sure that the terrorists will soon become real supporters of US imperialism, believe it or not?

The risk of defeat forced Zheng Zhun to worry: "There won't be any problems." ”

Mu Rongshan said with a smile: "It's nothing, didn't we see it before, General Zheng Zhilong's ship has arrived off the coast of Guangdong, that is to say, it can be reached within three days, even if there are so many warships outside the port, for Lord Zheng, it can be destroyed with a single move, I estimate that within seven days, the line of communication will be unblocked, so, father-in-law, we only need to be careful within seven days, the enemy hurts, and runs away, and after seven days, they understand our strength and are afraid, and we have enough ammunition, Just to take them down in one fell swoop. ”

The weak fight with the strong, the weak is conducive to taking advantage, and the strong is conducive to wrestling; The rich sue the poor, the poor are happy to settle the matter quickly, and the rich are happy to last.

Historically, if the weak side wants to defeat a strong enemy, it has often to prepare secretly for a long time, seize the opportunity of the strong side to slack off and pay no attention, strike a fatal blow, and knock out the strongest part of the strong man's strength, and then seize the strong man's land or other things in a fair way.

And for the strong side, there is no need to take risks, as long as you slowly figure it out.

Zheng Zhun was a little more tender in the end, but he was also attracted by Mu Rongshan's steady strategy.

Next, the team of Mauser Battalion confronted the crusading army of Hanoi on a meadow, of course, this is by no means a plain, but a complex area with ditches, hillsides, and jungles, fortunately, both sides are old drivers, although the number is scarce, but Zheng Zhun's Mauser gun is really superior in performance, for those infantry in the agricultural era, seeing the people around him, obviously can't see the enemy, but suddenly he fell to the ground and died, that kind of shock, people can't hold on.

After the many mutinies brought about by the frightened heart, he finally managed to hold his ground, and the Hanoi side finally remembered that Li Zhongxun kept screaming about the enemy's powerful weapons, and that Zheng Zhun had gone to inquire about arms procurement on behalf of the imperial court in the first place.

However, Zheng Zhun obviously reached some fatal agreement with the evil Celestial Empire, and even obtained their arms, this fact also made people who knew the situation silent, although according to the investigation, the opposite side was still dominated by Zheng Zhun's 1,000 people, with some people.

In other words, the number of troops that Hanoi can use is definitely dozens of times more, but if it wants to win, it must have huge casualties accumulated by countless flesh and blood.

Who will pay?

It's hard.

The reason why Zheng Zhun can pull the flag and rebel is because the soldiers themselves are from his tenant background, and they have been brought for many years, although there are not many people, but they are united, and everyone else is also in this mode.

This is also in line with the characteristics, after the corruption of the government soldier system in the Tang Dynasty, it was replaced by the forbidden army system of my Great Song Dynasty, as we all know, this Great Song Dynasty is no different from the Great Send-off, the reason is that under this system, the soldiers have no fighting spirit and combat effectiveness.

And I relied on the military household system in the early Ming Dynasty, in fact, there are still some veterans, the military household system does not say that there must be soldiers from generation to generation, but several families to produce a soldier, however, the essence of the military household for decades, are buried in a failed civil fort war, this is also the moment of the rotation of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes, since then, the Ming Emperor has almost lost the real military power, and the checks and balances on civilian officials have also been completely lost.

After that, basically the Ming Dynasty was playing a mercenary system, but it was a mercenary that was completely unruly.

It is often a famous general, such as Qi Jiguang, or Huang Degong, who goes to his hometown, or a place where produces soldiers, to recruit his core troops, and the villagers help the villagers.

Even during the First Sino-Japanese War, there were still treaties that had been signed, and there was a group of Hunan veterans who took their fellow villagers who were eager to get rich to the imperial capital to prepare for war, which was also chilling enough.

This is the relief of the system, for a feudal court, this may be the most efficient and cost-effective choice, otherwise, using the national system to recruit people, it may be countless greedy ink and strong men, and you spend money to exempt yourself from being a soldier, otherwise, hehehehe.

This is the difficulty, the empire is too big, it is not a vegetable market under the management of the underworld, not to mention a vegetable market, you can't clear every stall.

Vietnam's military system, which has never stopped fighting wars, has maintained this mechanism, which is more efficient than the state directly raising troops.

But it can't stop a possible rebellion, which is why the Zheng family has never been able to win the Southern Dynasty, you have no talent.

There is a Water Margin, which has a very accurate description of this, asking, why is Shuibo Liangshan finished?

One hundred and eight brothers, after the door was set up from the beginning, no matter how many leaders died, there was no one to make up for it, that is to say, in Shuibo Liangshan, you are the leader, you are the leader for a lifetime, you are a minion for a lifetime, and you can't change it.

If it's a feudalized place like Japan, it's okay to say, for a place like China, where the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, play this set, if you don't die, who will die?

After nightfall, Mu Rongshan was naturally not idle, he also watched a lot of movies about the Vietnam War, and remembered how the Vietnamese attacked the poor American soldiers at night, not to mention anything else, Zheng Zhun himself came out from the opposite side, naturally it was a matter of guarding against night attacks and touching the sentry, and building a simple defensive position was also started in an orderly manner.

These 5,000 people were found with the help of the local Han merchants, who had too few manpower in Hongji, and barely helped maintain the security of the port, and they had done their best, so all kinds of messes, Mu Rongshan also had to appear in the second-line position, nominally to protect his father-in-law, but in fact he was ready to do things with a big killer at any time.

Suddenly, there was a voice in the distance, naturally a shout in Vietnamese, although Mu Rongshan couldn't understand it, he also knew that it was not a good word.

Soon, Hu Tiehua said categorically: "Elder, they are saying that Zheng Zhun should not fall for the Han people's plot to sow discord, as long as he is willing to go back, he can say anything, and he will definitely not regret it, they swear by the mountain god!" ”

Mu Rongshan's face is not good, if Zheng Zhun really falls for this......

In other words, killing your father-in-law during the New Year is not a bit unreasonable? This is also a little too difficult, but unfortunately Zheng Zhun's son is too young and not enough to convince the public, otherwise, Mu Rongshan, who has already been brought bad in the Council of Elders, will definitely not be afraid to be a bad person.

Of course, soon, he helped Zheng Zhun make up his mind: "Take the night vision device out and aim at it." ”

The night vision device is naturally a high-end product of the original time and space, and the gun is also a good gun, even if it is not in the hands of a front-line veteran, at a distance of five hundred meters, although there is cover from the night, it is enough to hit the target and clean everything up.

The others only heard a loud snapping sound, and the screams ended.

Mu Rongshan sighed, he must hurry up to help them find the point of hatred, there are still too few people who died before.

What he didn't know was that this shot gave everyone in Hanoi a huge shock.
