Chapter 595. The era of Lao Tzu

In classical history, the battle with the greatest casualties in a single day was Hannibal's Battle of Cannae, in which more than 80,000 people died in one day! In normal history, this casualty record was not broken and surpassed by the Battle of Verdun until World War I, but in this time and space, Dongjiang broke this record in advance.

Only in the daytime, under Li Zicheng's frenzied attack, the two armies were killed and added to more than 30,000 people, and the Tianban in the evening completely defeated the Dashun army, and then entered the slaughter time of the Liaodong knights, because of the hatred in his heart, Mao Jue did not order the knife to be sealed for an hour, and fell under the Dongjiang saber The Shun army was like a cut leek, and the blood and corpses spread out of more than 30 kilometers messily, and how many people were killed, Mao Jue couldn't remember, but more than 100,000 was certain.

It wasn't until midnight that an urgent letter from Shanhaiguan pulled Mao Jue back from the edge of the killer demon king.

But no matter how ruthless Mao Jue behaved in this war, after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the era of Dashun ended, and the era of Liaodong came to this East Asian land.

Early in the morning, the elite cavalry of Liaozhen, who had been fighting for half the night, was holding the banner high, and in the eyes of those infantry, they rushed out, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way to the west to Jizhen, and the line of Juyong Pass to block the road for the Shun army to flee westward, all the way directly to the south, and went straight to the Jingshi.

In this battle, the Shun army was completely frightened, and finally the lord of Liaozhen stopped killing! Shouting for them to surrender, where can anyone dare not know each other? Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, a large number of Shun troops were lost and immediately knelt on the ground, some heard that the Liaozhen soldiers were surrendered, and even ran back dozens of miles to raise their hands to surrender, Liu Chong and Liu Xingqi's cavalry only marched west to the south for two days, and then it became bloated, each cavalry captured at least more than 100,000 Shun troops, the good and bad Shun troops could not go fast at all, and filled more than 200,000 mouths, forcing a few grumpy guys to grin for the first time and hurriedly report to the rear and ask for support.

One of the reasons for Li Zicheng's defeat in history is the plague, which is messy with more than 100,000 corpses, in case of illness, the first unlucky one is the Liaodong army itself, so although the war has just ended, one by one Liaodong Ruishi is still forced to clean up the stinky battlefield by the "unkind" Liao King.

Ahead, more than a dozen soldiers with bayonets carefully passed through those messy corpses, if they met their own people, they immediately notified the soldiers behind them to carry back, whether they were dead or seriously injured, and when they met the Shun army, then they were sorry, and then they went up to make up a bayonet directly, and then dragged aside by those tun troops, and dug a big pit on the spot to bury it.

This is not cruelty, on the contrary, this is the greatest mercy, whether it is artillery fire or bayonets, it is basically fatal wounds, Liaozhen itself is also limited in resources, it is impossible to rescue most of the resources to these Shun troops, rather than let them suffer for two or three days and then die, it is better to send them to death now.

Puff~ Another bayonet, the convulsive Shun army immediately stopped moving, nodded with satisfaction, the Dongjiang army in charge of the search had just withdrawn his hand, but the corpse moved again.

I was really startled, and turned around and took another bayonet on my chest, but this was really like seeing a ghost, not only did the corpse not settle down, but several other corpses also shook up, and it was completely hairy, and the Dongjiang sergeant shouted, and more than a dozen soldiers around him all made do, or the team was well-informed, looking at the pile of corpses that were shaking, he shouted calmly.

"Boy urine can suppress evil spirits, which of you is a boy chicken?"

Dongjiang social atmosphere is open, not to mention that there are really not many chickens in this boy, after twisting for a long time, four newly recruited young men and an old bachelor untied their crotch, and the five roots of the evil holy water went straight down, who knew that in the eyes of everyone, these things twisted even more.

This time, the team was also furious, and with a loud shout, a dozen soldiers took out the whole strip and threw bullets into the barrel of the gun, and it seemed that it was about to bloom in all directions, and finally, all of a sudden, the top corpse was turned over, and a person with a bloody face and urine came out of it.

It's really an old fritter on the battlefield, after slaughtering three or four cavalrymen in a rage yesterday, seeing that the Guan Ning Army was already in a catastrophe and could not be saved, Wu Sangui simply got into a battle pit dug by the Hegang Army, and covered himself with a few corpses, which really allowed him to avoid it as the battlefield was formed and pushed north.

Last night, the fighting and screaming sounded in the middle of the night, and the corpses fell down one by one nearby, and he didn't dare to come out until this morning, listening to the footsteps gradually empty, he didn't dare to come out, but now it was stacked several layers, and he was sleepy and hungry all day, and it was not so good to get out, and the hiss tried his best for a long time, and he crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Just wiped a handful of unknown liquid on his face, and finally opened his eyes, this famous dog traitor in history immediately saw the muzzle of the black hole around him, and he didn't need to be taught, Wu Sangui directly knelt on the ground with a weak leg, and raised his hands high, shouting anxiously.

"Don't shoot! Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan! Own! I have an old relationship with the King of Liao, please introduce you brothers on your behalf!"

People say it so slippery, it shouldn't be a zombie! Several soldiers of the Shenyang Left Guard Regiment couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't believe Wu Sangui's words at all, and the team looked up, and at the same time shouted sternly: "Kneel down and be honest, don't play tricks!"

"It's ......, oops......"

Before Wu Sangui could finish agreeing, he was hit with a rifle butt on the back of his head.

When I woke up again, half a day had passed, and the sunset was hanging lazily towards the western sky, but this time there was no murderous aura of yesterday, the saber rattling, a fire was burning, and in the dark marching pot, the rice cereal and the canned food were churning together with the aroma, rubbing the back of the head, Wu Sangui got up with difficulty, and was just about to stretch out his hand against the cauldron, who knew that a bamboo canned food bottle was stretched out in front of him.

"Thank you, brother!"

At this time, he didn't dare to have a little general soldier's shelf, Wu Sangui thanked him while holding the bowl, and then he wanted to pour this fragrant porridge into his mouth when he was hungry, who knew that he hadn't eaten it yet, but he couldn't help but tremble when he heard it.

"Brother don't dare to be, Chief Wu Dabing, Ma has missed you for a long time!"

Looking for the voice, Wu Sangui raised his head sadly, and the first thing that caught his eye was a long face, in Jingshi, Ma Bao, the small leader of the army who was fooled by him to save Mao Wenlong, and on the side, there was a piece of horse harrier Wang Fuchen who fell into him with him, and the two of them looked at him with a sneer while rubbing their fists.

"Mr. Wu, don't be stunned, eat! When you're done eating, we'll count the ledger again!"

was originally hungry and faint, but looking at the sneer of the two of them, holding the canned scalp, Wu Sangui couldn't swallow it for a while.

…………

The bustle of the prisoner of war camp Mao Jue didn't have time or heart to pay attention to it, although this battle was brilliant, but the same loss was not small, especially the biggest hero, Sun Chuanting's Hegang Corps. In the past few days, he has put all his mind on the Hegang Legion, this is only the first battle of entering the customs, and he doesn't know how many wars there will be in the future, he must give an explanation to the whole army first.

More than 10,700 martyrs were collectively buried in this land full of blood by cement and bricks transported from outside the customs, and a new cemetery was densely arranged under the towering Shanhaiguan, and the desolate atmosphere made Mao Jue once again deeply experience what it was like to be successful and ten thousand bones withered.

It's just that if he can choose again, Mao Jue will still choose to sacrifice the Hegang Corps.

The Liaozhen army is different from the Qing army in history, although the combat effectiveness is amazing, but it is undeniable that the Liaozhen army is in long-distance combat, it is absolutely not comparable to the eight banners of the tiger and wolf division, after the battle of Shanhaiguan in history, Duoduo's light cavalry wrapped in Wu Sangui's remnants, along the way by burning and plundering to supplement logistics, half a year defeated Li Zicheng's subordinates left in Henan and Shaanxi, and directly occupied the north, but if it is replaced by Mao Jue's Liaozhen army, then it will take a long time, under the premise of inconvenient transportation and lack of water transportation, The pace of movement of the firearms unit is simply too slow.

Sacrificing the Hegang Corps as a bait and finishing its work in one battle, the Liaozhen Army could at least fight a dozen battles and sacrifice a few fewer 10,000 people. More importantly, it saved precious time, and now there is no second force in the entire north that can compete with Liaodong, and the northwest, which has always been known as the source of trouble, only needs to be received by Wen Meng's Tieshan Corps.

With a heavy heart, in front of the whole army, Mao Jue wore a white belt on his head, and bowed heavily to the towering monument that had just been built and still smelled of cement, especially the third bow, and he bent down for a few minutes.

has borne such a heavy loss, if you want to say that there is no resentment in your heart, it is impossible, but in this era, there has never been a king or emperor, who has never been so grand and respectful to the nameless soldiers who died in battle.

Especially Mao Jue turned around, faced the whole army, raised his fist heavily, and shouted high and sincerely.

"Veterans don't die! Survive forever with the country!"

It's not just a slogan, it's a promise! As long as there is an empire in the day, their exploits will not be forgotten! With Mao Jue's promise, Sun Chuanting once again gave a neat military salute to the ground led by Sun Chuanting, and with that fierce action, the armor was full of armor and steel.

…………

After the construction of this huge monument and the completion of the opening ceremony, the huge Liaodong Army also completed its rest and restarted.

On June 12, the Liaodong Corps, which had experienced the bloody battle of Shanhaiguan, also arrived in Beijing, with the creaking sound of the door shaft rubbing, the capital of the ancient empire once again opened its arms to him, looking at the swarthy doorway, and the opposite of the doorway, the former Ming officials who knelt on the ground under the black pressure, and the same as Li Zicheng at the beginning, Mao Jue's heart was also surging.

When he traveled to this last world, he just wanted to save his life and live with dignity, but now, the era of his Mao Jue has come!
