"We don't kill you, that's why we're here, because we're people, not animals." Shang Wu said.

"The difference between humans and animals is that they have feelings, people can express their feelings through their own language, people have reason and sensibility, and it is precisely because of these sensibility that we have humanity." Shang Wu said.

"Humanity. Human nature. Many prisoners of war said it over and over again. yes, they're not human anymore. It's beasts, they make a fortune for some money, for their promotion, and their superiors drive them to do something killing.

At the beginning of the killing, they were also human. They don't want to kill, but if they don't, their commander will kill them. In desperation, they had no choice but to do it.

After the killing, they went crazy. I became no longer self. They think that killing is nothing more than that, they become fond of killing, but as a result, they gradually change. It's become someone they don't think they're themselves. They are no longer human. They are beasts, and beasts do not do that.

"We still have our own parents and relatives, if it were our own relatives, would they still do it?" Humanity is still at work in the most hidden places hidden beneath their hearts. They are inherently human beings, and war is also the place where humanity is tested the most, and they just hide their humanity. Now, Shangwu needs their humanity, and they need to bring their humanity into play. Unleashed.

"Haven't you thought about it? Are you the fault of your own making? Shang Wu asked.

The POWs did not speak. They have thought about it themselves, but the problem is that they are all big and coarse and can't figure it out at all.

"You used to be respected and admired by others, because you protected the country and defended your loved ones. When foreign enemies invade, you are the first to stand up, you are heroes, you are amazing. Shang Wu said. Yes, a lot of them think about things like this, and once, they thought about these questions too.

"But now, you have aimed the way you should deal with the enemy, at your own people, at your parents, brothers and sisters like you, are you still human?" Shangwu asked.

"Your parents pay for food. As a result, is this how you treat people like your relatives? Shang Wu scolded loudly.

Many prisoners of war bowed their heads. Their feeling now is that it is better to kill them, this way is very difficult for them to bear, after all, this situation is too uncomfortable. They had never been through such a difficult situation.

"I know you're having a hard time, and I'm sorry." Shang Wu said.

"Sir, don't talk about it. We know we were wrong. But we don't want to do such things, these are all forced by those superiors to do it, we are not people, we are not people. Many prisoners of war bitterly said that some of them had already slapped themselves in the mouth.

"These, it's not your fault, it's your government's fault, it's your Emperor's Majesty's fault." Shang Wu said.

"A government, first of all, should be the spirit of contract, what is the spirit of contract, that is, the government should do what it should do, protect the safety of your family, and maintain the normal operation of social order, but now, what has your government done, although the country is safe for the time being, but your emperor is crazy to increase taxes in order to make his life better, maybe when you destroy a family, your family has reached the point of not having enough to eat. If you don't have enough to eat, this is the government's fault, and the government has the obligation to guarantee your most basic right to life, and now, your most basic rights have been taken away. If you don't resist, what else can you do? It's not your fault, it's the government's fault. Shang Wu said.

Some of the soldiers began to nod their heads in agreement. Shang Wu didn't continue, because he still had some things to do, and the next two classes would be handed over to the others. At the same time, it was time for the meal. Only by having enough to eat can those officers and soldiers know what their situation is like. Only by eating enough can they feel the meaning and value of life.

"What's wrong?" Shang Wu looked at the anxious Jia Xu and asked.

"I don't know if several military districts are colluding or not. They all sent reports that they wanted to attack the county seat, and they said that their preparations were very complete. Jia Xu handed Shang Wu a report. Shang Wu took the report and looked.

"What do you think about this?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu after reading the report. Several military districts in the report were very excited, and they all said that their ranks were expanding rapidly, the soldiers' combat enthusiasm was very high, and the development of the surrounding areas was very good, so they almost solved the problem of county seats. If the county seat is laid, their base area will develop even better. It seems that the situation is really as it is reported, but Sangmu feels that this may not be the case. There are also things that Shangwu didn't notice, and Shangwu couldn't decide to do so at will.

"My opinion is, I feel like we're doing this a little too fast." Jia Xu said.

"I feel that way, too." Shang Wu said.

"Huangfu Song's main force has not been hit too hard, they have only been severely defeated, we should see that the combat effectiveness of the official army is still very strong, and on the contrary, our combat effectiveness, at this time, is still very weak, many things, not as simple as we imagined, for example, let us attack Julu City now, maybe we will fail. Moreover, the reserve of ammunition is also a problem. Shang Wu said to Jia Xu. He had many, many thoughts, but unfortunately, this battle was not really over, and the troops had to get out of here as soon as possible, and the officers and soldiers should rush up to fight them at any time.

"Oh, looks like we thought of going together. This battle has allowed us to see a lot of things that we can't see, for example, although our combat effectiveness has been improved to a certain extent, Huangfu Song does not have an in-depth understanding of us. In addition, we have just had some contact, and the two sides do not really understand each other, once we are overconfident that we can defeat each other, we will suffer a big loss, we should retract, study ourselves seriously, and make ourselves progress faster. Jia Xu said.

"I agree with this, Huangfu Song is not that easy to deal with, if it was really that easy to deal with, we would not attack like this." Shang Wu said.

"That's right, in addition to that, I think there are some things that we need to be aware of, and that is that we don't have the experience of conquering a large city once, just like this time, if we hadn't conducted a drill in advance, a careful plan, we might have failed. In addition to Huangfu Song's research on us, this situation will become more unfavorable to us, in such a situation, what kind of problems can we solve, this is obviously impossible to do a thing, in this case, the best way is to summarize by ourselves, seek progress by ourselves, or study carefully. Jia Xu said.

"That's right, our military reform is not very successful, war is a process of learning from each other and improving each other, this time, we were able to defeat Huangfu Song There are many things that are lucky, but in fact, we should clearly see our own shortcomings, and it is right to retreat at this time." Shang Wu said.

"What's more, if the county town we attack is too powerful, Huang Fu Song's target is still us, and the emperor will notice our movements, in that case, Huang Fu Song will bite us to death, and we should let the other party suppress the Yellow Turban Army, not us." Jia Xu said. Jia Xu is still very sober about the assessment of the overall strength of the Red Turban Army, he knows that in the current situation, the Red Turban Army still cannot fight head-on with the official army, this time it is only experimental, so that they have a deep understanding, they still need to learn some rules of war. Despite the victory. But there are too many elements of fluke.

The strength of the Yellow Turban Army has not been completely eliminated, and at this time, the officers and troops should pay more attention to the Yellow Turban Army, or in other words, put more vital forces on solving the Yellow Turban Army. In this way, the Red Turban Army can get a certain respite, rest, and recovery, which is a very important thing for the Red Turban Army, and for the officers and soldiers, it is a disaster.

They fought continuously, defeated the Yellow Turban Army near Luoyang, then defeated the Red Turban Army near Cangting, and then launched an attack on Guangzong, the soldiers have been fighting for a long time, physically and mentally tired, if they launch another attack on Zhang Bao's Quyang, their situation will reach an inflection point, and the fatigue of the soldiers will make them increase more war weariness. On the other hand, the Red Turbans can use this short break to improve your battle, because they have a rare combat experience, and this combat experience is a major improvement for them. With such progress, especially some veterans, it will have a great impact on them. Because they are the essence of the battlefield.

The danger of attacking the county seat is still too great. Shang Wu felt that he should not attract the attention of the emperor, after all, it would be too dangerous to do so.

In Huangfu Song's army, the troops were still slowly retracting, some soldiers took the opportunity to escape, some soldiers could not find a place, and some soldiers were found to be prisoners, and the collection of the army was still slow. Plus just having experienced a defeat, morale is also an issue.

"Have you collected what Jean and the others have collected?" When Huang Fu Song was on the battlefield, he had already let his subordinates start collecting the weapons used by the other party from the *** that had not yet exploded, as well as the wreckage of the *** explosion, as well as rockets, weapons and equipment of dead cavalry, etc., all of which were carried out to the range of soldiers, if it wasn't for the fact that they finally lost control of the battlefield, maybe Huang Fu Song would have gotten some prisoners, and he could get what he wanted to know from those captives.

"The last general has been collected." A general arrived.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Huangfu Song took a group of officers to visit. Collecting these weapons was the point, because they were the first troops to use firearms.

"General, look." A general led Huangfu Song to the place he visited, and then presented a stirrup. And some horseshoe.

"What are these?" Huangfu Song asked curiously. He didn't know what these things were, but what he did know was that they were in a lot of trouble.

"General, these are the things on the other side's cavalry, those horses are dragged back by us with a lot of effort, we see those cavalry stepping on these things, can only let go of their hands, our cavalry has seen their riding skills, very ordinary, but they have such things, they can step on horses, have a force. You can then use spears to charge, and only the higher calibres of our army can do this. The general introduced.

"Well, it seems that this thing has a lot of effect." Huangfu Song looked at the stirrups, and he suddenly guessed the role of the stirrups. After thinking about this. Huangfu Song had to be surprised that the other party's cavalry was able to come up with such a solution.

"This thing should be vigorously imitated, equipped with a batch for cavalry use, see how the effect is, if it is good, a large number of imitations." Huangfu Song gave the order.

"The last will obey." The general said.

Then Huang Fu Song looked at the rocket, and ***.

Rockets such a weapon, lies in the large-scale intensive killing, Huangfu Song for such a weapon, can only use a shield to prevent, however, the other party can be launched on a large scale, a launch is a large area, if the army is deployed after the shield hand protection is good to say, what I am afraid of is that the troops in the charge of the encounter with such a weapon, because ancient operations, are large-scale group charge, so that there is greater lethality, however, such a group charge encounters rockets, but it is a big trouble. This kind of rocket is cheap to manufacture, but its launch speed and scale are quite large, if the Red Turban Army makes more, dense rockets fly down, their situation will be very unfavorable. Huang Fu Song was very worried about this, because he didn't know how to deal with such a situation, after all, this weapon caused them a great offensive problem.

Huangfu Song got two complete ***, and this weapon is even more threatening than rockets. Rockets can be regarded as weapons in the middle of the transition from cold weapons to ***, after all, the current combat is still a large number of cold weapon weapons, but the appearance of *** is completely different, and his lethality is still very amazing. It can fly to a distance of 500 paces, and there will be more at a distance of 1,500 paces. This kind of ultra-long-range weapon has greatly exceeded the understanding of Huangfu Song and all the generals. This means that when the two armies are engaged, the distance of safe combat must be 1,500 paces. Offensive operations are going to get incredibly tough. However, the opponent has control of the battlefield, because they have the advantage of the range of their weapons, which is a combat distance that cannot be reached by any of their crossbows, which will inevitably attack at the cost of soldiers' lives. This weapon has completely turned their conventional wisdom upside down.

"Anything else?" Huangfu Song asked the general.

"General, the last general also seized some clothes, shoes and socks worn by the thief army, which are also a little different from our army." One of the generals said.

"Oh. Go over and take a look. Huangfu Song said. Huangfu Song took the wooden stick in his hand and examined his seized boots.

The boots of the Red Turban Army are also different from them, and their boots are all left and right. And the level of comfort is not too good, only the officer can get a pair of cowhide boots, although the other party's boots are made of cloth, but the material of that cloth is noticeably different. The boots are divided into two models of the left and right soles, and there are some iron nails underneath, which can make their boots more non-slip.

"What are these strips of cloth for?" Huangfu Song asked, leggings. Because he noticed that the soldiers of the Red Turban Army all had such things.

"I don't know." The general replied. Huangfu Song didn't get the answer he wanted, but he could let his soldiers give it a try, and after getting the exact benefits, he could let them experiment. In addition to that, there are their backpacks. It's cleverly designed. It also contained some personal belongings.

"General, the last general also found this." That's when it happened. A general handed over a small notebook, which was very crudely made, just a simple sewing of some paper together, and the words on it were also very distorted, if you didn't look carefully, you might not be able to read it. Huangfu Song looked at it carefully.

The above records are all trivia, and this is the backpack of a Red Turban officer. This was the officer's notepad, on which some of the soldiers' views on tactics were written, such as organizing death squads to launch a death charge and open the way forward.

After Huang Fu Song saw it, he felt that it was terrible, the official army was defeated under such an attack, and it was impossible for him not to know this.

In addition to this, there are also some rank charts, such as, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, sergeant, corporal. These were all words that they had to know, and the officers copied them on them.

This is the first time that Huang Fusong has a preliminary understanding of the establishment of the Red Turban Army and the title of officers.

In the back is the content of some infantry drills, such as, how to use the ** bag, the assassination technique of the spear, and the arrangement of squad and platoon tactics, which is a simple six-person combat group, but the combat effectiveness of the group exerts great combat effectiveness with the cooperation of six people. Huangfu Song attaches great importance to this booklet.

Judging from the content, this is a notebook of a junior officer, and there are many things on it, although the handwriting is not good, but the officers all know the words. And their soldiers are also learning, which greatly exceeds Huangfu Song's understanding.
