660, Lanzhou meat grinder (down)
"The firearms brigade stops firing and the whole army charges!" Jingwen began to order.
"Boom-boom-boom-" The firearms brigade was ordered to fire less and less frequently, and finally stopped firing altogether.
And those Tubo people didn't react at all, so they were dumbfounded at the scene, without the slightest joy of escaping. And while he stayed, and with Jingwen's order, all the armies rushed forward, ready to carry out the final harvest. The current Tubo people, that is, the living crops, are waiting to be harvested with knives with everyone! And at this time, they didn't have any ability to resist at all, waiting for their heads to be cut off and given credit to the Tang Army.
"Kill—"
"Wipe the ...... and wipe the " There was a sound of cutting meat, and many Tubo people were killed one after another.
And although some of the Tibetans are still organizing resistance, these are all in vain. The "Heavenly Punishment" just now had broken their sense of resistance, in their eyes, Tang Jun was a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, how could their group of mortals be the opponents of heavenly soldiers and generals? Therefore, they immediately closed their eyes and waited for death, not daring to resist at all. Although they can obviously resist, they can't raise the courage to resist at all, and they would rather die than resist, I have to say that they have broken their courage. And even if they live, they are all wasted. And this is what they have just brought out of their dreams, although their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Turks, but their civilization is too low to withstand such a big blow. Although the Turks are nomads, they have thousands of years of nomadic cultural accumulation, but what the Turks lack is these. The power of civilization can sometimes support a person's beliefs, but the historical civilization of the Tibetan people is too short to support a nation's beliefs. So once they get a brutal blow, they will completely lose their faith.
"Happy!" "What a pleasure!" "This group of Tubo people is really boring!"
Xue Rengui had just hacked a Tibetan to death, and as a result, those Tibetan people also fled. There were even many people who didn't dare to run away and waited directly to be killed by Xue Rengui. And Xue Rengui raised the Mo knife and advanced with his subordinates, obviously all the stumps and broken arms were all under the knife.
"Brother Xue, we've stepped up our speed, today we're going to see who kills harder!" Gao Kan said.
When Dugumou saw this situation, he immediately shouted: "Brothers of the crossbowmen, the time has come to beat the water dogs, everyone will charge with me!" ”
Now everyone, even the crossbowmen, and even the people of the logistics baggage troops are rushing to "grab people's heads". If you don't grab the head at this time, do you still want to be a soldier for the rest of your life? If you participate in killing, although you will divide the heads evenly at that time, if you participate in the killing, you will be able to spread more heads.
A few hours later, everyone rested on the spot, and the staff officers who were responsible for counting the merits of the battle began to work, and they were responsible for counting the results of the battle.
"Commander, we have annihilated a total of 45,000 enemies, and actually killed more than 40,000 enemies. And the last five thousand. All surrendered. A staff officer in charge of counting the results of the battle said.
But Pei Xingjian, who was next to him, said: "There are more than 40,000 net kills, which is simply too much." According to the so-called annihilation of the enemy on the battlefield in ordinary times, in fact, those who surrender and flee the battlefield. There are many other people who have disappeared for various reasons. If you want to talk about actual killings, I'm afraid you don't even have a tenth of the total number of enemies. The vast majority of the enemy was unable to hold on, and in the end they either fled or surrendered. He can kill 40,000 enemies at a time. are enough to be called rare in the world. But we actually killed 40,000 enemies this time, which is already very remarkable. But isn't it too harsh to do so? ”
Pei Xingjian felt a little ruthless. Because generally speaking, when fighting is to take the initiative, take the initiative to promise the other party to lay down the weapon and survive. This is actually a kind of mercy, because there are still very few people in this world who like to kill. Now he actually killed 40,000 enemies at once, which is actually very rare in many battles in history that claim to destroy hundreds of thousands of enemies. Hundreds of thousands of enemies were annihilated, including prisoners and escapees, and the actual number of enemies killed was only tens of thousands. And if it is a domestic war, in fact, it is possible not to kill people or not to kill people, because these people are soldiers who can be collected for their own use and can allow them to join their own army in turn. Therefore, in domestic warfare, it is generally not possible to kill people without killing, but to encourage and persuade them to surrender. And Pei Xingjian was also the first time to participate in such a ferocious battle, and more than 40,000 lives were lost at once.
And Jingwen smiled, the reason why he killed so many enemies was actually Jingwen's intention. According to the convention, if Jingwen had taken advantage of the firearms bombardment at that time to let the Tubo people surrender, then maybe they would simply surrender. But Jingwen deliberately continued to let the soldiers grab people's heads, and as a result, those soldiers who grabbed people's heads and had red eyes, how could they bear it! If these enemies were captured at that time, it could actually be regarded as a war feat, but Jingwen deliberately made it a killing of the enemy, not a prisoner.
Jingwen wanted to weaken Tubo, because the current population of Tubo was only a few hundred thousand, and these 50,000 troops were almost the army that Tubo's economic strength could support. Their domestic army was only one or two thousand, and the main force came to Datang to take advantage. If Jingwen chooses to be captured, then he will eventually have to enter the negotiation process between countries at that time. With the urine nature of those guys in China, I am afraid that they will also directly show benevolence and righteousness, let them return to China, and even don't want a ransom.
How could Jingwen tolerate this, if these soldiers returned to China safely, then they would still be able to maintain the stability of Tubo with little loss. Although they may not dare to continue to invade the Tang Dynasty, they can still maintain stability. At that time, Tubo did not receive much impact, and it was still able to stabilize the development of dìng. Therefore, Jingwen deliberately took advantage of the battle to kill and kill, anyway, he hoped to kill and injure the enemy's living force as much as possible, so as to reduce the potential of Tubo. It only takes a knife or even a small shrapnel to kill a person, and it takes only a second. But to feed one person, it is ten or twenty years, and the cost of this is consumed by Jingwen. If the Tubo people want to restore the population of 50,000 again, I am afraid that in terms of their population base, it will be impossible for more than ten years, and the cost of it is incomparable.
Jingwen already regarded Tibet as one of the important enemies, so naturally he would choose to consume the enemy's population as much as possible. (To be continued......)
