Chapter 218: All of them must die
Lu Bu looked at Chen Xiaochu's cautious appearance, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't take too much care of the existence of those heavy cavalry, any heavy cavalry has a fatal flaw, that is, after losing horse speed, it is just a group of iron lambs waiting to die on the spot, and we will not lose this war if we are prepared." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoDidn't General Liang also say before, there is no one in the enemy army who can stop me. Holding Fang Tian's halberd and waving it at will, Lu Bu continued with a smile: "My lord, just watch from behind, those enemy cavalry that look extremely glamorous will eventually crouch in front of you and become prisoners of our army." ”
Chen Xiaochu looked at Lu Bu, who was a little domineering, and said with a smile that stretched his brows a little: "I hope so, I don't want to be like the Xiliang Army, and I will be forced to rest in place after this battle." Promise me, Lu Bu, that you will achieve a complete victory and minimize all losses. ”
Liang Hongyu looked at Lu Bu who responded, and somewhat understood why Chen Xiaochu got along so well with this general who seemed to exude the atmosphere of a warlord, although all of Lu Bu's daily actions made Liang Hongyu look very unorthodox, and he didn't pay much attention when he spoke, but when Lu Bu's strength reached the battlefield, it had to be said that it gave people a very reliable feeling, and the weight was irreplaceable.
After the order began to be issued, some of the materials and tools that had been prepared for building the pontoon bridge began to be unloaded from the baggage trucks, it was obvious that while waiting for the rescue of Liang Hongyu, Chen Xiaochu did not let the army idle, Emily's suggestion Chen Xiaochu completely listened to and trusted, which is why he is now calm. The small river, which was not very wide, was not harassed by enemy troops, and the armies were soon able to build pontoon bridges that would allow thousands of people to cross the river quickly.
"General Liang, use your prestige to gather the people of Yanzhou City outside the city, let them leave this place that is about to become a battlefield, and after our army crosses the river, we can place all the people gathered in the temporary camp." After seeing that the pontoon bridge had begun to be built, Chen Xiaochu said to Liang Hongyu.
Dozens of flags with the word "Liang" written on them were taken off the baggage truck, and after Pei Yuanqing let the flag on the lance ridden by Xuanjia according to the plan, he came to Chen Xiaochu and hugged Liang Hongyu who was riding on a war horse.
"General Pei, thank you for your hard work." After Liang Hongyu saluted Chen Xiaochu, she looked at Pei Yuanqing who came to her and said.
Pei Yuanqing said when he heard this: "General Liang doesn't need to be so polite, this is all for the Chinese people, as the duty of the Tang Army, it is to protect the bloodline of our civilization and protect our country's land and open up Xinjiang, this is our common mission, all in order to let the people who are guarded live and live better." ”
Dozens of battle flags with the word "Liang" written on them were blown by the cool breeze, fluttering and shaking, Chen Xiaochu looked at the departing Liang Hongyu and Pei Yuanqing and his party, and sighed in his heart that he had finally pushed everything to this point. "Hopefully Emily's operation will go smoothly." Popping up the floating screen on his watch, Chen Xiaochu watched Emily's state, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was normal.
Everyone will not deny that they have the right to live, and they have the right to live better, but when all this is suppressed, the hearts of those who are eager to restore what they had before will form morality, and those who hold morality can undoubtedly get a steady stream of reinforcements.
Liang Hongyu, as a representative general who resisted to the end after being suppressed, can undoubtedly inspire the people of Yanzhou City to have memories of the freedom they once had, so it is most appropriate for her to collect the fleeing people, among whom there are many young and middle-aged men, these are important sources of soldiers, in such an isolated place as the southern continent, Chen Xiaochu has decided to rely on his own grain and grass to carry out the strategy of all the people are soldiers, after all, if they lose the war, there will be nothing, and the same result is for these people, Some people are willing to survive, but not everyone is the same, they just lack a chance, a chance for them to vent their pent-up anger. Even if there are thousands of loose people, it is impossible to compete with a well-organized army, but if they are trained, the results are very different.
At the same time, Emily, who Chen Xiaochu was concerned about, crossed the river from the upstream early alone, and rushed towards the nearest mining area, where there were also suppressed civilians, unlike the Chinese people in Yanzhou City, most of the mining slaves in the mining area were her French compatriots.
Whether it is forging weapons or forging armor, it is inseparable from metal mines, and when the mining technology is low, it can only be used to speed up the speed with manpower, so countless defeated and captured soldiers and civilians are forced to plunge into the mining area that devours human life one by one, with shackles and ropes, under the scorching sun, waving rudimentary tools, digging and carrying, like ants, working day after day.
In order to improve the efficiency of mining, the villages around the mining area are planned to be as close to the mining area as possible, and all manpower is devoted to increasing the mining speed.
In every village there was a rudimentary stone tower, and in the heart of all the villages, a small fortress was nearing completion, and its construction allowed the more than 500 English troops stationed in the mining area to attack the villages at any time to suppress the riots.
When Emily reached the vicinity of the mine, she hid her horse in the jungle and slowly approached a village on foot.
It is a small village called Turmo, with a population of just over 200 people, and unlike other nearby villages, Turmo was not forcibly relocated, so many buildings have been preserved, and there is even a small cabin tavern. Due to the small location, the military discipline was not particularly strict, and many English soldiers stationed in the stone tower in the nearby village liked to come here to drink.
"Captain, I heard that the lord has transferred nearly three hundred people from the large army stationed in the fortress in the mining area today, what is this going to do, it won't be another war with the Dongying people." In the wooden house tavern, an English soldier grabbed bread in his hand and said as he looked at the captain of the stone tower sitting in front of him while eating.
"Whatever, those little dwarfs are no match for the lord at all, maybe the lord wants to occupy a certain town permanently, that's why so many troops are needed." The captain of the stone tower said with a casual wave of his hand, then took the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
The owner of the wooden tavern was a middle-aged man with a typical French appearance, and when he saw that Captain Tower's wine glass was empty, he immediately poured wine for Captain Stone Tower with a flattering expression.
"Good wine." The captain of the stone tower drank two glasses in a row, blushing slightly, and burped slightly, and at this moment, the various plates on the table were mixed together, and it was already a mess. "What if there are more than three hundred less, I know what you kid is worried about, recruits are recruits, were you scared by the French who rioted yesterday? It's just a lowly farmer with a forked grass and a farming implement, and you have a sword in your hand, and whoever dares to riot will be hacked to death, these French are just pigs, and even their nobles have been slaughtered like lambs by their lords, not to mention those lowly beings. ”
After the captain of the stone tower said something, he stood up, patted the tavern owner on the shoulder, and said slightly drunk: "You say that what I said is right, you French are pigs, pigs raised by us in England." ”
The tavern owner who heard the words immediately showed a frightened expression, and nodded incessantly: "What the adults said is, I, I, I am a pig,,,,, I am a pig." ”
Just as the tavern owner finished speaking, the closed door of the tavern suddenly shattered, and an angry female voice came into the tavern and said: "You English hillbillies, you dare to trample on the dignity and glory of noble France, and you will all die." ”
