Meunier glanced at the sun that had reached noon, and finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked Lin Haoda, who had just ordered him to prepare lunch: "Your Excellency Lin Haoda, the gunfire outside has stopped since early morning, why is our delegation not allowed to come to the battlefield to observe in person?" ”

"Your Excellency, I am also for your safety, the peasant rebel army is very well prepared for this night raid, and its strength far exceeds our army. You know, except for the first regiment to defend the village supplies, I have already mobilized all my troops to the front line, and I can't allocate a small number of additional troops to protect the delegation to the battlefield, just to satisfy the curiosity of the gentlemen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lin Haoda replied indifferently, as if you don't know how to share my troops to escort you to the battlefield to get first-hand information......

Of course, if Meunier and others insist on going to the battlefield to see the progress, Lin Haoda cannot be intercepted in legal theory, which will give the authority and have a negative impact on the subsequent cooperation with the French government.

The premise is that Meunier and the others really have the courage to go to the battlefield in person without the protection of the guards.

As gentlemen and aristocrats who thought their lives were noble, Meunier and others were naturally unwilling to put their lives in danger for this kind of thing.

The task of Meunier and the others was not to catch Lin Haoda's pigtails, but to monitor whether he was really suppressing the peasant rebellion.

If they can easily grab Lin Haoda's handle, Meunier and the others will naturally enjoy it, but if they pin their lives on luck to go to the battlefield in person, they are not willing.

At this moment, a dusty herald ran in, stood up and saluted in front of Lin Haoda, and did not avoid the meaning of Meunier and the others and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, after a bloody battle, our army has completely annihilated the main force of the peasant rebel army, except for the destruction of the second infantry regiment that was initially attacked, the losses of other troops are extremely light. ”

Lin Haoda held his eyes without a trace, and asked indifferently: "How many people have the main force of the peasant rebel army been annihilated, and how many mobs have surrendered?" ”

"Report commander, due to the excessive number of deaths in the peasant rebel army, no specific data has been counted for the time being, but it is conservatively estimated that the peasant rebel army killed in battle is armed with more than 10,000 people, and none of the peasant rebel army surrendered, and all of them fought to the death!"

"Impossible!"

As soon as the herald finished speaking, Meunier and the others immediately stood up from their seats in surprise and shouted: "Those mud-legged armed men are just a group of farmers, how can there be tens of thousands of people fighting to the death and not retreating?" Also, how could you completely annihilate so many peasant rebels, in the suppression battle of the National Guard, it was not difficult to defeat the peasant rebels, but there was not a single example of total annihilation! ”

Meunier turned to Lin Haoda and asked with an angry look of humiliated intelligence: "Are you telling me that tens of thousands of farmers who fight with farm tools have the consciousness to fight to the last man?!" ”

"You can tell His Excellency Mounier briefly about the process of the battle, the National Guard can't do it doesn't mean that the French Foreign Legion can't do it!"

Lin Haoda replied with a proud look.

"Your Excellency Meunier, although the attack of the peasant rebels was relatively sudden, because their commanders made a stupid tactical mistake and delayed the fighters, our army had time to besiege them in the camp of the former 2nd Infantry Regiment, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment used their heroic fighting to win precious time for the tactical trap of the army, and it was because the main force of the peasant rebel army was besieged, they would fight to the death until the last man, after all, if they did not fight, there would be no place for them to escape, Perhaps this is the fighting spirit that people burst out in times of despair. ”

The herald explained blandly, and the smooth sentence was obviously preceded by the corresponding wording......

"However, the main force of the peasant rebel army that was surrounded and annihilated, it is impossible that no one surrenders, when the National Guard forces suppressed it, they captured a lot of prisoners!"

"Haha, Sir Meunier, have you followed the French Foreign Legion for so long, and have you not learned that the French civilians hate me? You know, I almost slaughtered entire towns and villages, and burned down the hometown of the peasant rebels.

Taking a step back, with the tragic deaths of those innocent male villagers, do these peasant rebels still dare to surrender to the French Foreign Legion? “

Lin Haoda explained with a smile.

For someone like Meunier who has never been on a real battlefield, it is still very useful to tell him a logical but not necessarily true truth.

People like Meunier tend to be confident and even conceited in their own common sense judgments, believing that everything can be reasoned by rational logic, and it is very difficult to change such people's minds as long as no one comes up with a real proof that his logic is wrong in front of his eyes.

Meunier had never experienced or seen with his own eyes how brainless and stupid those who thought they had grasped the hope of survival in a desperate situation, and naturally they could not understand why those peasant rebel soldiers chose to surrender on their knees knowing that they would be killed......

According to normal logic, in the face of an enemy army that does not take human life seriously and loves to kill, it is quite reasonable for the peasant rebel army to fight to the death, but it is just ......

"Tens of thousands of peasant rebels have been killed, and our army has only lost one infantry regiment of less than 3,000 people? How did you do that?! “

Menier questioned again unwillingly, he subconsciously felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to seize another incriminating evidence of Lin Haoda, no matter how arrogant Lin Haoda was, he must rely on the support of the French government, and if he grasps some of Lin Haoda's incriminating evidence, he will undoubtedly gain a greater advantage in the exchange of interests in the future!

The massacre of tens of thousands of peasant rebels who laid down their arms and surrendered, and the massacre of villages of hundreds of people, are completely different in nature!

Unlike the strict distinction between generals and civilians in later generations, in this era when wars are frequently deeply rooted in the common sense of the common people, there is no difference between prisoners of war who lay down their arms and civilians!

Naturally, generals who can slaughter captives will not hesitate to slaughter civilians, and distinguishing civilians from unarmed prisoners of war is nothing more than the imagination of ignorant people who are accustomed to living in peace.

On the real battlefield, there are only two kinds of people in the eyes of soldiers, one is the enemy with weapons, and the other is the 'harmless people' without weapons, civilian identity is not a guarantee of not being killed, and there is no difference between soldiers who lay down their arms and weak civilians in the eyes of soldiers!
