Chapter 294: A True New Command
Captain Zhang Depei's howl came into play, and the stormtroopers noticed the signal of the tricolor signal flag------ most of them could understand the order and immediately obeyed it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The corpses on the ground also hindered their formation, but the basic defensive line formation came out.
At that time, Captain Zhang Depei took the lead in throwing all the hair grenades on his body at the enemy cavalry who were still reinforcing in the distance.
Boom, boom, boom!
After dozens of grenades rang out one after another, the enemy cavalry suddenly panicked even more.
This bought time for the Goryeo archers, who lined up behind the spearmen and swordsmen and began to shoot on their backs at the enemy on both sides.
The Tatar cavalry always placed the archers at the front of the ranks, and as a result, their rear could only be attacked by bows and arrows in vain, constantly retreating------
Captain Bowie sighed and paused as he said this.
Wang Zheng and Xiao Er glanced at each other and sighed.
Wang Zheng said: "If they can have 5,000 people and be equipped with muskets, they will definitely deal a greater blow to the Tatar cavalry!" ”
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "In the end, they couldn't withstand the enemy's attack on both sides, and Zhang Depei was in danger-------"
Captain Bao Wei said slowly: "It was very dangerous at that time, especially after our main force completely defeated the enemy's front troops------- it was okay, when the main force arrived, they had already withdrawn to the mountains and forests under the leadership of Captain Zhang Depei!"
We are chasing down the corpses of our stormtroopers------- and they have already suffered seventy percent of their casualties! ”
The specific data after the war were: 563 people died, including 151 Japanese samurai; 143 Goryeo warriors; 130 for black East Africans; 124 white slaves.
Forty people were completely disabled by their injuries-------
In terms of proportion, this is a huge loss, and in terms of effect, the use of mercenaries is also very great!
After receiving the report of this battle, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, made up his mind: while expanding the recruitment of the Liuqiu Guard, he also increased the formation of the stormtroopers!
Subsequently, he ordered his men to go to the slave markets in Goryeo, Japan, and Cairo, Egypt, whether it was recruiting, buying, or exchanging, as long as it was a healthy man who could participate in the war, he would find a way to bring it to the Badaohe area of Liuqiu Island, and let the remaining stormtroopers train them!
He did not allow Yang Youxing to disclose the casualties of the SA in the Liuqiu newspaper, which may be a detail that ordinary people do not know.
Zhang Guoan's order to the island owner invisibly promoted the buying and selling of the slave market in this space-time world, increased and accelerated the scale and speed of population flow, and the benefits and disadvantages brought to the world cannot be evaluated one by one.
Did it promote the exchange of civilizations, or did it cause a catastrophe of life?
Let history judge all this.
The owner of Zhang Guo'an Island increased the military resources of all the surviving stormtroopers, and all of them were promoted to one rank------- and of course the slave status of some of the team members had long been abolished and became free people with status.
The power of example is endless.
Later stormtroopers were very envious of the glory and wealth of their predecessors, they obeyed orders, trained hard, and eventually became one of the main forces of the Liuqiu Guard------- of course, all this is a story for later.
This time the battle ended beautifully: the cavalry brigade formed by the Mamluk cavalry and the Liuqiu cavalry had the effect of surprise soldiers, who completed the final pursuit and fiercely bit off a large piece of flesh from the enemy.
On the contrary, they are the unit that captures the most enemy prisoners and war horses!
On a dignified battlefield, what can really kill and injure cavalry on a large scale is the cavalry itself------- infantry can only sneak attack or block, and they cannot complete continuous attacks.
The results of this engagement battle were enormous.
They defeated an enemy of 50,000 horses, of which by counting the corpses on the battlefield, they eliminated more than 6,000 living forces of the opponent and captured more than 9,000 people------ not counting the last followers they captured------- those who were originally ordinary people, who often followed far behind the fighting ranks, trying to make up for their losses.
In fact, behind the Liuqiu Guards, there were also the people of Shandong following them------- but if the Liuqiu Guards won, the people of Shandong became hunters.
Not to mention, it was really useful, they ganged up and caught quite a few escapees on foot, and some even caught horses in the woods!
Of course, they mainly caught a lot of ordinary people who followed the opposing team.
Fortunately, they did not kill people indiscriminately, and almost everyone in Shandong knew that there was a shortage of labor.
The Tempus Guards could only turn a blind eye to their sneaking advantage on the battlefield, but they were not allowed to take their horses or what they called prisoners!
Of course, they also gave the people some compensation, a few pieces of cloth, a few pairs of shoes and some dead horse meat were enough to satisfy the people.
In this era, the common people did not have the courage to hide war horses and captives.
A total of 3,863 Hui and Tatar horses were captured, and except for some frightened, they were all completely healthy and could be used immediately after conditioning.
There are another 1,270 wounded horses, and these can only wait to see the effect of the treatment.
There are also many regrets in this battle: they were only one step away from capturing the main generals of the opposing side; The results were not as great as expected; Among the captives, they screened only more than three hundred Tatars, which was too small in number.
Xiao Er sighed when he heard this: "You have hanged more than 300 people at one time------- it is really ------- spectacular!" ”
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for those laborers!" Each of them has a blood debt------- our lord is right, they can cause the current situation, I really don't know how many people have been killed, they want to kill people in their bones! ”
They treated the captives differently, and the civilians who were captured with them were counted as petty theft, and they were all sent back to Liuqiu Island, and they were allowed to participate in the construction of the cities of Qidaohe and Jiudaohe------- the scale of Badaohe City could no longer be expanded, and they needed to build another city.
The city on the island of Ryukhu has no walls, so it is very easy to build.
The original slave soldiers were all sent to the Zaozhuang area to dig coal or burn coke, and were guarded by the Liuqiu Guard.
The coal and coke produced in Shandong are still in short supply------- their output cannot even be supplied to Liuqiu Island, and some merchants in the Great Song Dynasty came to buy them at high prices!
Captain Bao Wei did not care about these follow-up arrangements, he only cared about his guards, and the losses of his main force were minimal, with no more than three hundred casualties.
Liuqiu Island quickly replenished his ammunition and sent him some fresh power.
Captain Bao Wei and his companions are together again, and they are ready to deal a hard blow to the two people behind them, at least double the results!
At this time, they received a new order from the island of Liuqiu.
This new order was somewhat unexpected and, so to speak, completely changed the course of the war.
Captain Bao Wei and his companions were a little unconvinced, and they had to ask Zhang Island Master for reconfirmation.
As a result, that new order was real.
