Chapter 802: The Frontline
Winter goes to spring, and the weather is getting warmer day by day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After receiving good news one after another, Xiao Ming was in a big mood, he went out of the staff headquarters, Niu Ben and Luo Quan followed, and he should claim to be as he walked.
Obviously, it is impossible to capture the six cities in a short period of time, the war takes time, and this vast land in the northeast will take several months to go around from south to north.
However, because of this vast area, if the entire northeast is under the control of the Great Chongqing State, the rich resources and land of this land will provide a lot of help to the industry of the Great Chongqing State.
The three of them climbed the steps to the city wall of Shanhaiguan, and Niu Ben continued to ask: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, what should this Qi Guangyi do?" ”
"Now that the barbarians are newly defeated, they must be panicked and have no intention of conquest of Qi Guangyi, not to mention that Luo Hongren has gone, which means that Qi Guangyi now has an impregnable camp, so he doesn't have to worry about supplies and retreats, so let him stay in Jinzhou and continue to disrupt the barbarians' spring ploughing, but this time it can allow him to expand the scope a little more, and he can go farther away to plunder." Xiao Ming said.
Luo Quan also said: "That's right, and Liaozhou and Pingzhou are in our hands, Qi Guangyi can also go to these two cities at any time, so that the three places are connected to the city, and the life of this barbarian will be even more sad." ”
With that, the three of them burst out laughing at the same time.
The strategy of occupying the northeast was set, and at noon that day, Xiao Ming, Niu Ben, and Luo Quan went to Pingzhou City under the protection of the guards, and at the same time, Xiao Ming asked the accompanying newspaper reporters to pass the news of Pingzhou City's victory back to Qingzhou.
This battle has touched the hearts of countless people in the court, and it is time for them to cheer.
At noon the next day, Xiao Ming and his entourage arrived in Pingzhou City.
After a busy day, the Pingzhou battlefield was basically cleaned up, and except for the blood stains on the ground, it was back to normal.
Knowing that Xiao Ming had come to Pingzhou, Lu Fei and the others were already waiting outside the city.
"Ministers and others see the emperor. "
In front of the city gate that was being repaired, Lu Fei and the three of them bowed and saluted.
"Excuse me! “
Xiao Ming looked at the trench in front of the city gate, and this scene made him frown.
Trenches are rarely used by the army in the cold weapon battle array, but it is not without history that the trenches dug by the barbarians are not at all comparable to the trenches of the First World War.
For Xiao Ming, this is just a similar battle of the trench in 627 years of history.
In that year, the Bedouin tribes of O-Thufang and the Jewish mercenaries of Khaibar, led by Abu Sufyan, laid siege to Medina.
Outnumbered, the guardian Muhammad organized a siege of the city by enemy cavalry and infantry by digging trenches around the outskirts of Medina and defending it.
So it is not surprising that this method was taught to the barbarians by the British, after all, Europe has been entangled in that region throughout history.
"This is the barbarian trench?" Xiao Ming sighed.
Lu Fei nodded, "Exactly, if it weren't for these trenches to stop our attack, we wouldn't have needed to take Pingzhou City for so long." ”
"Did you see the British in this battle?" Xiao Ming asked.
"See, at first, this Englishman has been hiding in Pingzhou City and has not shown up, but after we entered the city, we saw him flee on horseback in a hurry, this person's appearance is very different from that of the barbarians, it will not be wrong." Lu Fei was categorical.
Lu Fei's words once again confirmed that the British were involved in the war between the Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians, which was tantamount to a provocation for him, because of the malice of the British, he now paid more than ever to defeat the barbarians.
Clenched his fists tightly, Xiao Ming hated it so much that when he stabilized East Asia was the time for him to fight with the Western powers, and at that time he must make the British lose everything.
While speaking, Xiao Ming and his party walked towards the city, and the soldiers along the road showed excited expressions when they saw Xiao Ming arriving at the club, and stood on both sides of the road to salute Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming smiled, and also returned the military salute, now he is the emperor of the Great Yu State and the commander of this campaign.
After the end of the battle in Pingzhou City, the soldiers were stationed in the city, and in order to comfort the soldiers, Xiao Ming deliberately walked along the city with everyone.
When he came this time, he also asked Niu Ben to prepare a lot of mutton and pork, and whenever he went, he would ask Niu Ben to distribute these meat to the leading generals, and let them boil meat porridge and distribute it to the soldiers.
Along the way, Lu Fei and the others couldn't keep their mouths together.
For a soldier, the most chilling thing is to bury his bones in a foreign land but no one cares, and now the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom personally came to Pingzhou City to visit the soldiers of this battle, how can they not be excited?
After condolences to the soldiers, Xiao Ming went to the camp of Lu Fei and the others.
At this time, Xiao Ming asked a heavy question, "How many barbarians were killed and injured in this battle, and how many of our soldiers were killed or wounded." “
At the mention of this issue, the joy of victory faded on everyone's faces, Lu Fei was silent for a while and said: "Yesterday we cleaned up the battlefield, this time the barbarian cavalry lost more than 40,000 people, our cavalry killed and wounded about 8,000 people, and the infantry barbarians, including slave soldiers and barbarian soldiers, found a total of 170,000 corpses, and we lost 13,600 people. ”
Niu Ben heard this and said: "Your Majesty, this is already incredible for the war. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Yu Kingdom, no one has been able to kill more than 200,000 barbarians at the cost of more than 20,000 casualties." Luo Quan said excitedly.
They had expected heavy casualties, but the result was not what they expected.
Xiao Ming was a little distressed, these were all his soldiers, but he also understood that war would kill people, and his soldiers could not be invulnerable.
"Let the bones of every soldier who died in battle return to their hometown, and don't let the families of the soldiers feel cold."
Xiao Ming said solemnly, he understood that this battle loss ratio was very exaggerated, and the loss ratio between the two sides had basically reached the level of ten to one, and with such a small number of casualties to achieve such a huge strategy, the emperor of any generation of Great Yu would probably wake up with laughter.
But this was not enough for him, after all, this was only a barbarian in the era of cold weapons, and if he fought against the Japanese state, the losses in the battle with the Western powers would be even greater.
At this moment, he finally understood how much his ancestors had paid in order to win a peaceful and prosperous world.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Fei responded, "According to what the emperor said, every soldier now has his own badge around his neck, and we will find their family members according to the badge." “
Xiao Ming nodded, this badge is what is often called a dog tag in modern times, in order to identify the identity of the soldier.
Looking at the map spread out by Lu Fei on the table, Xiao Ming's expression became resolute, "This time, we must get rid of the northern border troubles, and no longer let the people of the Great Yu Kingdom suffer from the slaughter, and the blood of the soldiers cannot be shed in vain." ”
