At this time, Li Yu was urging Youyang soldiers and Mao soldiers to rescue Jiannu who had fallen into the water.

Many people don't understand, in their opinion, they should cut off these heads and directly lead the army. Li Yu explained to Bai Zaixiang and other Youyang generals that Li Jing and Li Shuai said that the people of Jianzhou were also Ming people, although they rebelled, but this was an internal affair of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they laid down their weapons, they could no longer be tortured and killed casually. Prisoners of war are human beings and have dignity, and they cannot be insulted casually.

Not only the founding of the state, but also the Mongolian and other ethnic minorities are also part of China, and they cannot be killed and plundered at will, and the legitimate property of their people must also be protected and bought and sold fairly. Compensation should be given for the requisition of goods and livestock. We are targeting only a few nobles who wage war and those who commit crimes in war. The purpose of our war is to restore peace and order, punish the criminals who started the war, and hold accountable all kinds of violations of the laws of the Ming Dynasty in the war.

It is strictly forbidden to discriminate against minorities/nationalities, and it is strictly forbidden to abuse/treat prisoners as the discipline of South Australia Town. As long as you lay down your arms, you must do your best to treat the enemy's wounded. It's called humanitarianism. Although our soldiers may not be treated the same when they are captured, the Ming Dynasty is a civilized society and cannot do the same thing. If you mistreat and kill the prisoners, no enemy will surrender in the future, and everyone will fight to the death, which will only increase the casualties of our army.

Bai Zaixiang said that he understood Li Jing's humanitarianism, but the Youyang soldiers came out to fight to make a fortune, and the heads of these Jiannu were military merits and silver, and they couldn't explain to them.

Li Yu said that he bought Jiannu prisoners and wounded soldiers from Youyang soldiers. As long as you can save it, you will buy it, and you won't care about the dead yourself. This time, the head that should be assigned to one's own side, one head for one prisoner of war. If it is not enough, it will be exchanged for the armor and weapons captured this time, and it will be exchanged for the captured Jiannu Xiaofrang cannon, and if it is not enough, it will be purchased with silver.

Bai Zaixiang agreed in principle, but she was worried about how to deal with Li Yu so many prisoners, wouldn't it be an enemy if she let go, and she would come back to continue to attack Daming if she was injured, they were as poor as Youyang, and only by robbing Daming would they have a chance to make a fortune. Li Yu said that they would be transported to the Diaoyu Islands to dig guano, and sentenced to different years of hard labor according to the size of the crimes they committed in the war.

Bai Zaixiang agreed, and Wang Gui naturally had no opinion. Li Yu doesn't want to die, the heads belong to them, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for them, although the prisoners of war may have a reward for the imperial court, but the benefits of their own level are too low, and the benefits are all Shangguan's, so it is better to get some silver in private and put it in their pockets.

Since it was the money that gasped, Youyang and Mao Bing happily began to rescue the wounded soldiers of Jiannu, and those who fell into the water were fished up. Those who did not die bandaged their wounds, those who died cut off their heads, stripped off their armor, and took away their weapons. Even those who sank to the bottom of the river were hooked out with hooks and took away their weapons and armor. The one that was scavenged was called a clean. Li Yudu was stunned by the high efficiency, the battlefield had been cleaned in an hour, and even the few usable shield carts were pushed to the other side of the camp to defend against the next attack.

Li Yu made it clear that as long as he lived, he didn't want to die in the wounded barracks. These enemies immediately became golden in the eyes of these people, and they carefully rescued them.

At noon, Sakhalian's men of 9,000 men had finally gathered, and they were now ready to make a desperate bet, this time the hurried march had also thrown away the shield carts, and the cavalry had been crippled before, and this time they had put the heavy infantry in front.

The bitter battle finally began, under the supervision of the white swing tooth soldiers, more than 3,000 slaves were issued weapons and charged to the Mao soldiers' camp, and Jiannu wanted to solve the artillery and reduce casualties. Use slave soldiers to deal with small but lethal firearms units. Six thousand Jiannu soldiers rushed to the Youyang camp without muskets.

The Youyang native soldiers fired thousands of arrows, but their bamboo bows were still not powerful enough, unable to penetrate the triple armor of the red swing tooth soldiers in the front row, and they bounced to the ground one after another, and the archers wearing two pieces of armor were shot down a little. Soon the red-toothed soldier with his shield arrived in front of the trench, and after erecting his shield, he jumped down the trench with the bannermen. Tried to climb the trench into the camp.

Since there was an exploding river behind it, there was no need to defend, and all the Youyang native soldiers were concentrated in one direction. The barbed wire fence was also moved to this side. The trenches and sack fortifications that Li Yu suggested in the early stage finally had an effect. More than five meters high straw bags and sacks loaded with soil piled up ladder type watchtower, there are battlements on the top, traffic trenches below are connected to each other, and the trench formed by digging and filling bags is five meters wide and three meters deep, and the inner side of the outer trench has a breast wall built with barbed wire and soil bags and wooden thorns to resist horses, which better blocks the attack.

The construction of these trenches and the explosion of frozen soil consumed a lot of gunpowder, all of which Li Yu provided free of charge in order to test the tactics of war in the alpine region.

The ditch and the abutment were splashed with water and frozen into ice, very smooth, and it was difficult to climb out if it fell, and it was eight or nine meters high from the bottom of the trench to the top of the abutment, and more than four meters from the breast wall. You can't climb it without a ladder. A large number of slave soldiers fell into the trench, that is, they could not climb back, and they could not continue the attack, and many people gathered in the trench.

Under the orders of the White Swing Tooth Soldiers, the slave soldiers began to climb up the ladder of the human wall, and the Youyang soldiers began to use their spears to stab downward. Throw pieces of wood into the pit. Smash the flags down in a pile. The armor-piercing three/pyramid cross spear also reflects the value, and there are very few broken ones, whether it is the triple armor of the white swing tooth horn, or the two pieces of armor of the ordinary flag ding, they can't block the puncture. Pierce it directly. Regardless of whether the cloth armor or the piercing armor, as well as the chain mail worn inside, the joint is very fragile, and the cross spear will stick to the nail crack when it slips on the armor piece, and then it will stretch open the rope that connects the armor pieces, and the three edges will rotate and pierce in, and it will easily cut off the stumbling armor and squeeze it in. The chain mail is even more unstoppable, and the cross-gun that rotates hard will continue to penetrate.

Youyang soldiers have experience in dealing with armor, and if the armor is covered with the top and the bottom is overlapped, the tip of the spear will be stuck if the tip of the lap is slid up. If the nail plate is pressed from below, slide the tip of the gun from top to bottom and turn the stab inward, and twist the three-edged spiral blade with force to cut the stumbling armor. The nail pieces are scattered.

The heavy arrows of the Red Tooth Horn also show their power. The accuracy at close range is amazing, and the Youyang soldiers were shot in the face one after another and were directly killed. Often, as soon as they show up, they are shot down with an arrow.

Several Youyang soldiers lifted a five-meter-long tree section together and threw it down the trench together, and before they could squat down, they fell to the ground one after another, but the tree segment also smashed the flesh and blood of the bannermen and red swinging teeth in the trench.

The bannerman began to use his knife to frantically shovel out the sockets of his feet on the slope of the trench so that he could climb upwards. There were also bannermen who turned their spears upside down, and put several of them on the back of the Red Swing Tooth Horn Soldier, and together they supported him against the chest wall, and the Red Swing Tooth Horn Soldier slashed wildly with his long knife, like a mad tiger. Gradually, both sides suffered a large number of casualties. The first line of defense was breached in many places, and many places in the trenches were filled with corpses from both sides, and the situation became dire.
