Chapter 585: Beyond Imagination (Part I)
There is always a limit to the courage of anyone, and the so-called limit is to summon up courage on the premise of knowing what is guaranteed, not to say that it becomes brave unconditionally.
The ethnic groups in Lingnan definitely have a reason to work hard, if they don't work hard, the land under their feet will no longer belong to them, not only will they lose their families, but they will also face the slaughter of the Chinese army at any time.
When it comes to the survival of the race, no race will be without strong warriors, that is the elite of a race, if it can survive the crisis, this race is destined to usher in a golden age of development, because these elites will be in the struggle to obtain high positions, the right to lead the race.
The ethnic groups of Lingnan in the barbarian era did not know many concepts, including what the appearance of elites meant when the race survived. In fact, many ethnic groups do not understand these things, and what the rulers see is a threat, not the existence of those elites who will lead the ethnic groups to rise. The ruler feels that his dominance is in danger or even crumbling, and his first reaction is definitely to kill all the elites who carry the burden when the race is in danger, and whether the race can rise...... To put it mildly, as long as they are rulers, they are selfish and sensitive, and it is far more important to maintain their status than the rise of any ethnic group.
Because the ethnic groups in Lingnan do not understand too many concepts, the social environment is in the wilderness but it is preserved and simple, their social structure is the law of the survival of the strong and the elimination of the weak, and the rulers will withdraw from the stage of history if they are no longer strong. In some ways, the survival and elimination environment of the weak and the strong is also an advantage of theirs, at least the elite part of the race is not something that the ruler can kill if he wants to.
Different from the social system of the Chinese people, the elites of all ethnic groups in Lingnan will definitely be slave owners, large and small, with different numbers of slaves under their hands, and they will also have the courage to calm the scene.
The way of fighting for your life is too brutal, it is completely disregarding that you will be stabbed by the sword, just to hold you and bite you or create an opportunity for your companion to kill you, this style of play is simply terrible.
Lu Zhejun has a natural psychological advantage when facing the barbarians. It was laid down in the wars of annihilation of the Baiyue tribes one after another. When they were against the barbarians, the natural advantage in their hearts always enabled the soldiers to better mobilize their bodies, and their courage was also unprecedentedly sufficient, and every time they killed a barbarian, they would think with contempt in their hearts: "Hey, I easily killed another one." ”
But under normal circumstances, the barbarians they encountered before were indeed quite easy to kill. What now? The barbarians didn't know what inhuman stimulation they were under, how could they have charged to the death for seven consecutive days, and Lu Zhejun should be ...... At least the Lu Zhe army, which had crossed the water and held on to the west bank for many days, their pride was worn away little by little.
Collapsed, there were local fronts under the impact of the enemy at least seven times more than us, and the formation between the soldiers was confused and formed the collapse of the defensive chain. Zhou Dang, who was standing on the arrow tower and watching the battle situation, ordered the flag bearer to shake without even thinking about it, and the wrestler holding the drumstick next to him also sounded the rapid sound of the war drums.
The enemy surrounding Lü Zhe's army on the west bank of the water will definitely not be less than 50,000, and in these seven days, Lü Zhe's army has lost nearly 6,000 men, and when cleaning up the battlefield, it has also removed at least 20,000 enemy corpses.
Lu Zhejun's battle damage? That is really the number of soldiers killed in battle and unable to fight again, on the one hand, Zhou Wen demanded that the camp could not be consolidated, and the Lu Zhe army on the west bank could only rely on hard power to fight with the enemy; On the other hand, there are too many patients, and the barbarians also have a kind of desperate courage that has never been seen before. There are many, many factors in such casualty figures.
There were 20,000 barbarian corpses cleared by Lu Zhejun, according to the normal state of war. The number of brutes who are wounded and run back will be at least three times as many as the number of people killed in battle, and forty percent of them will lose their combat power. Of course, this is the norm of conventional warfare, but now it is an abnormal war. The barbarians fight for their lives in a wave that will continue to fight without exhaustion, except for a very small number of people who escape, most of the barbarians are fighting to the death.
If the Baiyue tribes had such desperate ruthlessness, Lu Zhejun would definitely not be so light-hearted and annihilated so many Baiyue people again and again at a slight cost. This is a fact recognized by all members of the Lu Zhejun army who participated in the war in the West Bank. It was precisely because of this realization, coupled with the difficult fighting environment, that the morale of Lu Zhe's army on the west bank would decline. It was also far easier to collapse than in any previous war.
"Has there been any news from the East Coast?" Zhou Dang's eyelids were jumping wildly, and the reserve team went up to plug the gap and stabilize the battle situation, but their whole battalion only had more than 3,000 people who could fight.
No one answered Zhou Kang's words as a temporary commander, not that they despised Zhou Kang's authority, but that there was indeed no news from the east coast.
"It's not raining, although the river is still turbulent, but the rope nossing connecting the two banks is still there, why can't the reinforcements who should come over today?" Some people will break their thoughts when they are nervous, and Zhou Dang also has such a problem.
The flags on the east bank are still fluttering densely, and when the smoke rises one after another when it is time to eat, an exaggeration can be described as "covering the sky and covering the sun", after all, it is nearly 200,000 soldiers' meals, and according to a pot of 50 people, it is also 4,000 stoves.
Screams, screams, howls, the fight of intelligent life turned out to be more lively and noisy than the hunting and predation of the animal kingdom, and they were also one of the only creatures that did not kill for the sake of catching food.
"The enemy's front is difficult to maintain, and it takes at least a thousand men to tear a hole two days earlier, and now as long as the warriors fight with their lives, the loss of 300 people can destroy a gap." Kaimingpan is really old, so old that he can't see clearly what is in front of him two miles from the battlefield, but he has a special retinue to describe.
Kai Ming Pan came to the battlefield to observe for himself, some of them were wearing clothes without clothes, and the clothes were divided into linen clothes and animal skins, and the tattoo patterns on the bodies without clothes were different, anyway, the leaders of the various tribes who looked messy were also standing around Kai Ming Pan.
The height and characteristics of these people are also strange, some of them have dark skin by nature, and their facial features are completely different from those of the Chinese race. Those with tattoos on their faces were also in a variety of patterns, ranging from beasts of prey to unknown plants. If you understand the tribal groups in South Asia, you must be able to see that these people are not all Lingnan tribes, some of them are probably from the later Burmese region, and more people from Vietnam and Laos.
In fact, the Huaxia ethnic groups have been expanding, and many of the ethnic groups that originally lived in the land of China have been forced to migrate outward, and during the southern expedition of the Qin period, there were indeed quite a few Baiyue ethnic groups who flowed to the southwest.
Lu Zhejun's southern expedition military operations continued the history of Qin's southern Xinjiang army to attack Lingnan, and quite a few tribes in Lingnan, who knew that they could not resist, had begun to migrate to the southwest.
Of course, whether it was Lu Zhe, maybe Sima Xin, Zhou Wen, etc., they didn't know that the various ethnic groups in Lingnan could not resist the soldiers and had started a great migration. Zhou Wen, who was in Lingnan, had the idea that the various ethnic groups in Lingnan were gathering armies in their dying struggles, and he also very much wanted to seize this opportunity to annihilate the assembled ethnic groups in Lingnan, so as to lay a more reliable and smoother foundation for future military operations.
On the east bank of Lishui, the strength of the Lu Zhe military camp that stretched for more than ten miles had actually dropped to 50,000, and the rest of the men and horses were divided into three routes.
All the way was to make a detour to the north, intending to swim about twenty miles upstream from the battlefield, and then turn straight south to cut off the enemy's rear.
The second way is to make a detour to the south, and the intention is naturally to cross the water quietly and join the battlefield when the situation is smooth.
The third way has nothing to do with the main battlefield of Lishui that is being fought, it is the southern army behind a lot of Baiyue people, they are crazy to attack the strongholds, in order to ensure the safety of the logistics line, in addition to strengthening the strength of each stronghold, the people and horses on this road are scattered to destroy those enemies who finally come out of the deep mountains and old forests.
If the arrangement of the southern corps is drawn on the military map, then the current war situation is that the army of Lu Zhe on the west bank is firmly attracting the main force of the enemy, and the army of Lu Zhe on the east bank has become a reserve force, and the military operation route has become a situation in which two big arrows are outflanked in a roundabout way. On some small lines, or 500, 1,000, 5,000 troops, they formed a large encirclement in the eastern part of Lingnan, aiming directly at the enemy forces that had been hiding and were now exposed.
The continuous rain gave the allied forces of the various ethnic groups in Lingnan the opportunity to attack, and at the same time created conditions for Zhou Wen to send the army out covertly, so God is fair to everyone, and the difference is whether they know how to use it or not.
Enlightened Pan has arrived at the main battlefield, which means that the 30,000 troops of the Ou Yu Kingdom have arrived.
For the countries of the Chinese system, Ouluo is estimated to be a small country covering an area of about one county, but she is a well-known big country in South Asia.
This large South Asian country occupies half of the Vietnamese region in later generations, and in more detail, it occupies a radius of 300 miles of rivers and mountains centered on the Hanoi region, and the total population should be more than 1.2 million, but most of them are savages who have not been naturalized for a long time, and the Dravidian people account for at least 50% of the more than 1.2 million, and the rest are ancient Shu people, Ba people, and Aryan people.
It is not a unified area, the environment is too chaotic and complicated, and there are naturally many races.
Among the 30,000 troops brought by Kaimingpan, there were not many Shu and Ba people, and they basically existed as officers, and the soldiers were of all races. So far, they have only sent 1,000 people to participate in the battle, and the intention is, of course, to test what role Lu Zhejun is. The results of the test are very impressive, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army cannot be regarded as the strongest army under Lu Zhe, but it took nearly 600 people to kill and injure less than 300 Lu Zhe's army, which is a gap of two to one......
