Chapter Seventy-Four: Guilt in My Heart
There is a difference between the way a soldier fights a soldier and a killer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Military personnel are more familiar with team-based combat, while killers are more accustomed to fighting alone.
In terms of individual ability, a single killer is more lethal than a single soldier, but when the scale of the number reaches a certain level, the lethality of a soldier is a hundred times that of a killer.
The hundreds of enemies who were ambushed in the woods on the hillsides on both sides of the post road were obviously more organized and coordinated than the attack on the outskirts of Kaifeng, and their destructive power increased exponentially.
"Are you always so insidious?" Tan Fengyi forcibly pressed Wen behind the thick poplar tree, looked at the amazing changes on the battlefield, and asked softly.
"What is insidious, I call it planning for a rainy day, holding the pearl of wisdom, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles, what a good word to describe my greatness, you have to use the word insidious........" Wen protested.
"Shut up or I'll throw you out." Tan Fengyi really couldn't stand the boasting of the news, and directly threatened.
A good man does not fight with a woman, and there is no way to communicate normally with an ancient barbarian woman.
Wen who was suppressed by Tan Fengyi behind the tree, forcibly tilted his head, and looked at the battlefield from behind the tree that was fighting fiercely.
This is not an open field, and the more than 100 cavalry led by Pan Mei can hardly use the speed of their horses to toss and turn, and they have become the best targets on their horses.
After fighting bravely, he barely intercepted the enemy troops on one side, so as to prevent the enemy troops on both sides from closing together and entering a chaotic battle.
Shi Shouxin and a dozen personal soldiers formed a goose wing battle formation, resisting the enemy army on the other side, their combat ability is undoubted, a dozen people can suppress the charge of hundreds of enemy troops, but the numerical disadvantage is difficult to make up.
It was the more than 100 students of Wenhua Academy who really played a decisive role and effectively killed and injured the enemy.
The Zhuge crossbow in the hands of the students can shoot three rounds in a row each time, and shoot according to the three-stage attack formulated by Wen, and the rain of arrows is endless.
This is the first time that the students have fought on a real battlefield after months of intensive training with Zhuge repeaters.
Combined with the new weapon of grenades, it will destroy the enemy troops on Shi Shouxin's side and defeat them on all fronts.
What Tan Fengyi said is insidious does not refer to the combat effectiveness of the students, but their way of fighting, no matter whether the situation is favorable or not, the students will definitely not charge ahead.
Hiding behind the goose wing array composed of Shi Shouxin and more than a dozen personal soldiers, he followed suit, Shi Shouxin retreated, the students also retreated, Shi Shouxin attacked, and the students pursued with victory.
Shi Shouxin and the dozen or so personal soldiers were completely used as shields, and resolutely did not cross their defensive line.
This may be difficult to train the students to be brave, but it is the most effective means to avoid casualties in the first battle.
Although these students had already followed and experienced many battles, this was the first time that they had faced the enemy army in this way.
Killing people from a distance, that's just numbers, and the senses won't be too strong.
Killing one person and killing 10,000 people will only feel the change in numbers, and there will be no too strong psychological rejection.
And at close range, killing a person with your own hands will trigger all kinds of negative emotions in humans.
The distorted face, the wail, and the splash of blood of the dying person, especially when the blood of the dying person is splattered on themselves, those with a slightly weaker psychological quality may have various abnormal reactions.
Extreme situations such as vomiting in mild cases, coma in severe cases, and even indiscriminate killing and wounding on the spot without distinguishing between friend and foe can occur.
This is an innate rejection reaction after cannibalism, which is contrary to the laws of nature.
The so-called tiger poison does not eat children, which is the case, if you want to kill the same kind without psychological burden, you need a certain amount of training to erase this nature of human beings.
If you want to kill freely, you need to eliminate all the negative effects such as guilt, fear, and guilt.
This kind of thing that goes against human nature always requires a process of adaptation, and if you adapt to this process on the battlefield, it is very likely to pay the price of your life.
After the crossbow was fully fired, in addition to fewer bullets, the lethality at close range was not much worse than that of the machine guns of later generations, and it was basically killed with one arrow.
After a few rounds of fire, the enemy forces on Shi Shouxin's side had collapsed on all fronts.
The students immediately turned around and began to support Pan Mei, who was fighting the other side.
This is not the first time these enemies have seen weapons such as strong bows, and although the Zhuge Repeater is extremely lethal, it will not be able to defeat them quickly. But this is the first time they have experienced the power of grenades, in fact, in terms of lethality, the current grenades are not as powerful as the Zhuge crossbow. But the advantage is that the weapon is new, and the rumbling sound of the explosion is endless, and if it is the first time to experience this kind of thunder-like sound, its effect is no less than the first killing.
Even the more than 100 cavalry led by Pan Mei, the war horses they were riding, were frightened and galloped in all directions, and they couldn't control it at all.
After only half an hour, the enemy army suffered heavy losses and began to retreat deeper into the woods.
It may be that the enemy did not expect that Pan Mei would lead the army to come to support, resulting in the difference in strength between the enemy and us, but the most unbelievable thing for the enemy is probably that hundreds of soldiers were arranged, and they could not even pack up a team of more than 100 students.
"There is no need to pursue, immediately count the casualties and prepare to treat the wounded." Wen came out from behind the tree with a serious face, stopped Pan Mei and Shi Shouxin's pursuit, and immediately ordered to start treating the wounded.
Although the battle was won, Wen's face was gloomy.
More than 100 students followed and heard that these deaths finally occurred for the first time in a long time.
In fact, Wen has been trying his best to avoid this happening, but the battlefield is ruthless, and some of them have seriously injured more than a dozen students, six of whom have been seriously injured and cannot be saved.
This was a real battle between the soldiers, and in the face of an organized offensive, there was a lot of loss on the battlefield, and accidental casualties were inevitable.
Killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 is the normal state of war.
Seeing this, Shi Shouxin said softly: "Wenjue, don't be sad, the battlefield is ruthless, casualties are inevitable, you have already been a captain, and this time you are going to take over the Yangzhou war again, the kindness of the woman is absolutely unacceptable." ”
Wen Shen said in a deep voice: "The horse leather shroud is the fate of the soldiers, not these students, they should have lived a peaceful and joyful life with their relatives in their hometown, but I brought them out and into this ruthless battlefield." Their sacrifice was caused by me, and it is my iniquity. ”
The battle was won, but the atmosphere was heavy.
These more than 100 students are the same faces, that is, villagers, but also classmates, and they are thousands of miles away, and their feelings for each other will be deeper.
In the face of this sudden death, it was inevitable that my heart was depressed and painful, and I even forgot that I was still on the battlefield full of blood and corpses.
After the battle, the students who began to feel unwell were still vomiting and even fainting blood, but at this moment, because of the departure of their companions, their minds became extremely firm.
"Zheng He, collect the remains of the students, and after the war is over, send them back to their hometown for burial, and their relatives in the family will be supported by the Jue Mansion from now on." Hearing Zheng He, who was beside him, he commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir." Zheng He responded. The red eyes looked at the six corpses side by side on the ground, tears flowed silently, and the dead were all their companions who got along day and night. When I was in my hometown, I didn't have a strong feeling, but after being thousands of miles away from home, I took care of each other to survive in this difficult world, and I knew the value of friendship.
The companions who were still talking and laughing together in the morning are now separated forever.
Looking at the corpses of the students in a row on the ground, he felt even more heartbroken at this moment.
One will succeed, but these students are so innocent, in order to survive in this world, how selfish their choice was at the beginning.
Wen muttered to himself, "I owe them!" (To be continued.) )
