The attack on the city was so smooth that with a few light shots, Apos's elite soldiers and horses could not bear it, and they retreated from the city wall and hid. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Li Shilang, this is the famous elite guards under the command of Apos? That's just it, I couldn't help fighting, so I took a few shots and fled. ”

Duan Xiushi felt bored.

Since the Tang Army's equipment has been unprecedentedly improved, he has found that fighting is becoming more and more boring, to put it simply, it is not challenging.

He thinks that he is talented and can become a pillar of the country against foreign enemies, so he is admired by future generations, but with the current equipment of the Tang Army, even a general with very ordinary qualifications can win every battle.

This is like a game, the one-sided game is really not interesting, only the two sides are evenly matched, and they do their best to fight, in order to make people feel exciting, and it can greatly stimulate the fighting spirit of both sides.

"Why, General Duan thinks it's not interesting to fight like this? Want to play something fresh? ”

Ang Lee also didn't think it was very interesting.

"Fresh? What does Li Shilang want to say? ”

Duan Xiushi didn't quite understand what Ang Lee meant.

"Zero casualties."

"There are no casualties, this is really very difficult, the sword has no eyes in the battle, it is not easy to ensure that the soldiers under his command have no casualties."

Duan Xiushi has not won a battle recently, but every time there are casualties among his subordinates, at most there are hundreds of casualties at one time, and nearly 100 people are killed, and there are very few cases where there are no casualties at all, unless the opponent is very weak and has no ability to resist at all.

"Don't you think it's boring to win? Pursuing zero casualties is a challenging task, and you can work on it, and it is great to have fewer casualties if you don't seek to be realistic, and there are no casualties. ”

Li An said.

Since ancient times, generals have never had this kind of pursuit in war, after all, in the era of cold weapons, it is impossible to achieve zero casualties, even if they are well-equipped and well-trained, it is impossible to avoid casualties, and many military victories are piled up with the lives of the soldiers under their command.

A general's success is withered, this is the truth, the military general won the battle, won great merits, at the cost of a large number of soldiers and horses under his command, can win the war with fewer casualties, can be called a famous general, if there are no casualties, it is impossible.

To really ensure zero casualties, even the most powerful armed forces in later generations can not do it, but can reduce casualties as much as possible, and now, the Tang Army should also pursue zero casualties, after all, the strategy of the Tang Dynasty has changed, from regional powers to begin to dominate the world, more and more interests need to be maintained, which requires a lot of arms and manpower, if every conflict loses a lot of soldiers and horses, it will be more difficult to replenish, if you do not pay attention to reducing casualties, there may be a shortage of troops in the future.

Duan Xiushi frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Don't hide it from Li Shilang, this humble position is really not the slightest certainty, but the casualties of our army in this battle will not exceed fifty, and this humble position can be completely guaranteed." ”

Li An looked at the city in front of him and said: "Every time you fight in the future, the fewer casualties the better, you have to work hard in two directions, the first is to win every battle, and the second is to reduce casualties as much as possible, so that the soldiers can survive, and can win the battle with the smallest casualties, which is the demeanor of a famous general, the Tang Empire is going out step by step, the strength will become more and more tense, and the loss of every soldier is a great loss." ”

"The pursuit of zero casualties will lead to fear, just afraid that it will delay the fighter, which is too difficult."

Duan Xiushi frowned.

He has fought for many years, and has never encountered a battle without casualties, and every battle will lead to casualties, but after the equipment is ready, the casualties are getting fewer and fewer, and it is not possible to completely eliminate casualties, if the casualties can be completely eliminated, it will inevitably greatly increase the morale of the army.

"Huh! Don't you think it's too easy to win, it's not interesting, and isn't it interesting to pursue fewer casualties? How challenging. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Duan Xiushi thought about it carefully for a while, and had an epiphany: "What Li Shilang said is too reasonable, he has not been able to find a further way of thinking, and the pursuit of the lowest casualties is not it, the ancients said, the siege of the city is the bottom of the attack, if the enemy in the city can be forced to surrender, our army will naturally not have the slightest casualties, so that zero casualties will be achieved." ”

"It's a good idea to teach, but there are still many ways, just summarize it slowly."

"Humble duty, send someone to persuade him to surrender."

Duan Xiushi said that he would send a subordinate to the city to persuade him to surrender.

Looking at the empty city wall, the young general of the Tang army loudly persuaded him to surrender, although he could not see the shadow of the enemy in front of him, but these enemies who could not withstand the artillery fire must still be in the city, they have been surrounded, where else can they run.

Maybe the foreign language of the young general of the Tang Army is too non-standard, maybe the voice is too small to hear, or maybe the enemy army in the city has no intention of surrendering, in short, it took a long time to talk to no effect, the city was quiet, and there was no reaction.

"Li Shilang, the enemy army has no reaction."

"Won't it run through the tunnel?"

Li An looked at the minister of Shi Guo who was following.

"No, no, this city is full of sand, and there is no tunnel at all, so it must still be in the city."

"These guys, thinking that if they don't make a sound, they will be fine, and the artillery is ready."

Duan Xiushi was angry, and the consequences were serious.

Another heavy bombardment caused even more damage to the already impregnable walls, with a section of the wall half collapsed.

Under the fierce firepower, the hundreds of enemy troops in the city looked a little confused, thinking that the firepower of the Tang army was too terrifying, and from such a long distance, they were able to project firepower, and they lost a lot of men and horses, and the Tang army itself naturally had no casualties.

As a result, the hundreds of soldiers and horses under the command of Apos were suddenly stunned, they were frightened by the sudden artillery fire of the Tang army, what could they do if they didn't surrender, waiting to be all blown up, the warriors have never been afraid of death, but they are afraid of death in vain, if it is meaningless to die, they would rather live.

In the face of absolute power, these elite soldiers and horses lived up to Apos's expectations, and surrendered to the Tang army before they could rush out and desperately became prisoners of the Tang army.

"Tall! This is Datang's soldier who surrenders without a fight, it is really very powerful, amazing! Terrible. ”

"The Tang Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, how can it be compared to our small Stone Kingdom."

"With Datang soldiers and horses stationed in my Shiguo, I will no longer have to worry about being bullied by my neighbors in the future, thank you Datang."

Several of the accompanying ministers of Shiguo were excitedly full of chrysanthemums blooming.

Li An just smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, he didn't like these ministers of Shiguo who didn't have the slightest stench of wind and bones, he didn't like them very much from the bottom of his heart, just like the so-called imperial army in later generations looked down on the flattering traitors in his bones, and just used them.

"Duan Xiushi, what do you think?"

Li An looked at Duan Xiushi and asked.

"Li Shilang, he has benefited a lot from his humble position, if it weren't for Li Shilang's reminder, there would be at least dozens of casualties under his humble command today, so their families would definitely be heartbroken."

Watching the captives walk out of the city one after another, Duan Xiu was quite emotional.

"Through this battle, this officer also knows in his heart, Apos's elite soldiers and horses are just like this, there is a big generation gap with our Tang army, and then you only need to use artillery fire to intimidate, you can easily capture these soldiers and horses."

Thinking of Apos's appearance with black lines, Li An's heart couldn't help but feel very comfortable, sour and sour.

"Li Shilang, what should we do with these captives?"

Li An thought for a moment and looked due west: "With the march together, when persuading them to surrender, let them come forward, the effect must be better than our persuasion to surrender." ”

"Li Shilang has a high opinion, but our transport vehicles are limited, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fit."

"That's right, with so many prisoners, the car will definitely not be able to accommodate it, but if you run behind, it will definitely delay a lot of time, and besides, there are many wounded among these prisoners, and they will definitely not be able to go fast."

After thinking for a while, Li An left most of the prisoners behind and locked them in a closed courtyard in the city, leaving thirty soldiers in charge of guarding, and only twenty who followed the Tang army to set off, which could be easily taken down.

Under the deterrence of artillery, the god of war, the elite soldiers and horses of the Great Food Country in several cities all surrendered, and more than a thousand elites, except for a few who were killed, most of them were captured intact.

Of course, these elite soldiers and horses originally planned to have a good fight with the Tang army, but unexpectedly, the Tang army hid behind and did not come out, and bombarded them with powerful artillery from afar, so they could not achieve the purpose of teaching the Tang army a lesson, and they also had to withstand the bombardment of artillery, and they would not be able to stand it on any soldier and horse.

It was so inexplicable to be bombed to death, it was really too embarrassing, plus they were invading this time, and there was no sense of justice to defend their homeland, so it was better to surrender than to be bombarded to death.

"Li Shilang, the few cities lost by the Shi Kingdom have all been recovered, and nearly a thousand enemy soldiers have been captured, and our army has not suffered any casualties."

"Haha! Yes, very good, you have to pursue it like this when you fight, so you can just set up a few cannons and conquer the elite under the command of Apos, so that the big food country is nothing more than that. ”

Li An looked a little inflated, thinking about the braided dynasty of later generations, it was called a miserable, the western yellow-haired monkey could force them to submit by casually driving a few ships and erecting a few cannons, shame, shame, shame.

Now, Datang has a powerful artillery, and it can completely emulate the yellow-haired monkeys of later generations, go out to teach the unconvinced countries, conquer all countries, and build a new world order that is completely in line with the interests of Datang.

"Li Shilang, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Apos, this time I have suffered a loss, I don't know what the reaction will be, whether I will be annoyed and angry, and send the main army to come, so that my Shiguo will suffer."

The accompanying minister of Shi Guo was slightly nervous.

"What are you afraid of, with my Tang soldiers and horses stationed here, if Apos dares to come, he will definitely let him come and not return."

Duan Xiushi seemed very confident, with artillery in hand, he didn't have to be afraid of the outdated Aposian army at all, and in addition, there were many ironclad command vehicles, which were completely invincible.

After listening to Duan Xiushi's words, Minister Shi Guo's heart was a little relieved.

The previous invincibility of a thousand soldiers and horses made Apos quite excited, and he even imagined in his heart that these soldiers and horses under his command would beat the Tang army all over the ground to find teeth, and the scene must be beautiful.

But the reality poured cold water on Apos, how fast the victory came, how fast the defeat was, and even, the speed of the rout far exceeded the speed of the victory, which made Apos feel gloomy and extremely annoyed.

Of course, the most humiliating thing for him was that all these soldiers and horses surrendered, instead of dying on the battlefield, which made him unacceptable, how could the elite warriors under his command who had been in a hundred battles surrender without a fight? Is the Tang army really so terrible that the soldiers and horses under his command will be so frightened that they surrender directly, and they don't even have the courage to fight?

If the soldiers and horses under his command surrendered without a fight, Apos's mood would definitely not be good, and the ministers understood this, so no one dared to speak first, so as not to anger Apos and bring unforeseen disasters to themselves.

"Maybe you're right, the Tang Army is stronger than we imagined, it's not cost-effective to fight them, fortunately, the Tang Dynasty is far away in the east, otherwise it must be a very terrible enemy."

"The king has figured it out and wants to cooperate with Datang to build a railway?"

The minister asked excitedly.

Apos looked helpless and beat his spirit: "I think Datang's proposal is still very good, the conditions they offer are still acceptable, if they can strive for greater benefits, it will be even better." ”

"King, as long as you agree, we can slowly negotiate with the Tang Dynasty court to fight for more benefits for us."

Apos breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the minister, and said: "If the Tang army is sincere, the captured warriors must be released, and also, the Womaya dynasty cannot be recognized, only us, this is a must." ”

"King, I am willing to go to negotiate immediately, let Tang Jun enter, and then negotiate a cooperation plan."

"Okay, good, you go! Go now, and a few of you with you. ”

Apos completely gave up confrontation and planned to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, only in this way can he obtain greater benefits, he doesn't want to do something that he is not sure of, so as to ruin the country that he has won so hard.

After a beautiful victory, the Tang army did not leave the border of Shiguo, but stayed, and the prisoners were taken to the city closest to the border.

Li An had already predicted Aps's intentions, he was now staying in the border city of Shiguo, waiting for Aps's reaction, he believed that Apis would not let him down, no matter how powerful and horizontal the hero was, he would also be soft in the face of absolute strength, this is a qualified hero, and only then can he have the hope of making a comeback.
