528 Rekindle the soldier's faith in battle
Caring for wounded veterans.
Xiao Ruxun's ideas were widely spread in his own army, and he often taught officers to send wounded soldiers to military doctors for treatment in a timely manner, to care for wounded veterans, not to treat wounded veterans as a burden, and repeatedly punished officers who mistreated wounded veterans.
This became the main factor for the soldiers to respect Xiao Ruxun and be willing to obey his orders.
And this reputation has also spread widely with the end of the Korean War and the return of a large number of troops to their original stations, and the armies of many factions know that there is a general Xiao who loves to take care of his life and does not make unnecessary sacrifices, and he fights with General Xiao and his life is guaranteed.
Xiao Ruxun is very concerned about the establishment of the military medical system is an important factor in the survival rate of veterans to surpass the Ming army.
Each military doctor is equipped with three apprentice assistants, which means that Xiao Ruxun has a mature medical team of 120 people, and there are five such medical teams in the Zhennan Army, which are supported and trained by Xiao Ruxun, and they are also the bulk of military spending.
Then a large number of medicinal materials were added to the capital, and a group of doctors who were good at treating sword wounds were forcibly tied up to accompany the army, and together, Xiao Ruxun had a medical team of about 150 people to treat the soldiers' injuries.
By the way, those doctors refused at first, with a tsundere face, but Xiao Ruxun just pulled out a knife in front of them to show off, and they followed with integrity, and now they are working happily in the big family of this medical team.
The lightly wounded soldiers were properly re-bandaged, and after the seriously injured soldiers were diagnosed, there was basically no need to continue to stay here, especially Xiao Ruxun planned to continue to march after that, and it was really unnecessary to take them with them, and I couldn't bear to fend for them.
So after consulting with the military doctor, after about 2,500 or 600 seriously wounded soldiers were urgently bandaged, Xiao Ruxun directly ordered the Liaodong cavalry to divide 500 people, prepare a large carriage, and escort these soldiers back to the capital to be properly settled before the army broke through the Mongolian cavalry.
This move is a killer move for the Beijing soldiers to completely change their attitude towards Xiao Ruxun and be willing to continue fighting.
Not a single soldier wanted to die in battle, but not a single soldier dared to say that he would not die in battle.
It is true that the survival rate of fighting with a strong general is higher, but if a strong general still cares about their lives, they will be happier and more willing to fight for the general.
Seeing those seriously injured comrades-in-arms who could only wait for death in despair to be properly treated and sent back to the capital, an unprecedented feeling swept through the hearts of the soldiers in the Beijing camp.
The flame of hope for a new life was rekindled in their hearts, and many soldiers wept bitterly, and when the hope of survival tilted towards the fighting side, not many people thought about how to escape.
Then Xiao Ruxun's last step was taken.
In order for the soldiers who have never been in contact with themselves to have the least trust in themselves, it is also a very important way to show strong force and show the strength of the general himself, and when all the preparations are made, show the strength of the general, and let the soldiers have hope for the general, the soldiers will rekindle their belief in battle.
Twenty Hongyi cannons were transported to the city wall one by one in front of the soldiers, and when the soldiers looked at these large cannons one foot long, they were very shocked, not to mention the soldiers, even the officers were extremely shocked when they saw these cannons.
At present, in the army of the whole Ming Dynasty, the best equipment is Xiao Ruxun's Zhennan Army, and the weapons used are all the most advanced at this time, and even some of the weapons that surpass this era, but with the current manual industrial system, Xiao Ruxun can only do so much, if you want to continue to develop below, you must not have mechanical industrialization.
That's not what Xiao Ruxun can do right now, after all, he doesn't have a system, and he can't wear it back and forth.
Twenty Hongyi cannons entered the vision of the Ming army decades in advance, and the huge cannon body compared all the artillery used by the Ming army before, such as the Franco machine gun, the tiger squat gun, the general's gun, etc., that is, the Zhennan army was used to it, and the Liaodong cavalry that came with the Zhennan army was also the first time to see such a big guy.
Naturally, it was the first time for Nurhachi to see such a big guy, and when he saw such a terrifying cannon, Nurhachi was stunned, looking at the huge cannon body stupidly, and then kept swallowing saliva.
Oh my God, how powerful is that big guy? How many people will die in one shot?
Is this the new standard artillery of the Ming army? Was the Ming army that strong? How could this Xiao Ruxun always do such unexpected things?
Undoubtedly, such a huge cannon made everyone present want to know about it quickly, and he was very quick to add a sense of victory to everyone here.
The scales of war are swinging again.
"Admiral, what is this?"
Chai Guozhu ran to Xiao Ruxun's side with a cup of steaming potion in his voice and asked Xiao Ruxun about the origin of the Hongyi cannon, which obviously shocked these cannons.
"This is the Hongyi cannon, the latest artillery made by the Francois people, I captured it when I was fighting with the Franco Jiyi in Nanyang, and then found someone to copy it successfully, compared to the Franco cannon, the Hongyi cannon is more powerful, the range is longer, and it is much easier to use than the Franco machine gun in the siege."
Xiao Ruxun patted the body of a Hongyi cannon and smiled slightly.
"Oh my God, how many people will die if this cannon goes down? There is no value in continuing to use the Furlong machine gun at all! Admiral, when will this Hongyi cannon be installed on the nine sides? ”
Xiao Ruxun looked at Chai Guozhu's greedy face, and said with a smile: "Don't look at this guy's big size, in fact, he also has big shortcomings, the biggest problem is that this guy can only play solid bullets, not flowering bullets, and if you deal with the enemy's army, the power is limited." ”
"Can't hit the blossom bomb?"
Chai Guozhu obviously did not understand the scientific principles of artillery.
"Yes, this cannon is long, the inner diameter is naturally larger, and the more gunpowder is needed, as soon as the cannon is fired, both the temperature and the momentum inside are greater, so it can hit farther, more accurately, and more powerfully, but the shell of the flowering bomb is too thin to withstand the momentum here, if you forcibly launch the flowering bomb, the flowering bomb will explode here, and it will explode."
As soon as he mentioned the bombing, Chai Guozhu shrunk his neck, obviously frightened by the explosion.
"Exploding again?"
Xiao Ruxun laughed.
"Yes, so at present, we can only use solid bullets to fight, the power is limited, there is no way to kill more enemies, we have not tried to use a thicker shell of the flowering bomb, but the shell is thick, the gunpowder is not enough to blow up the flowering bomb, it can only be broken into a few pieces, it is not as effective as using a solid bullet.
Loaded with solid bullets, at least the siege is very powerful, you see this guy is bulky, right? The effective range was more than double that of the Franc gun, and those Mongols didn't know it, thinking they had dodged the range of the Franc gun, but we changed the cannon, and I called their trebuchet and bed crossbow all finished in one round of shooting! ”
