Chapter 121: The Williams' Findings
The first attack was repelled by the enemy so easily, and they didn't even touch the other party's wall, which made those flag owners feel extremely embarrassed, and those ordinary flag people are different, these flag owners are a group of more pursuing and self-motivated people, otherwise they would not stand out from so many flag people and become the flag owners of each flag. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn their opinion, this time the Beast God personally watched the battle, it was a good opportunity for them to show their abilities, as long as the battle was fought to the satisfaction of the Beast God, they might be able to continue to climb up.
However, all of this was ruined by those subordinates who were greedy for life and afraid of death, with such good equipment, in the face of that group of rebels born with mud legs, they were actually repelled so easily, which was simply a shame on their entire Eight Banners Army.
In order to ask the Lord Beast God for their guilt, they personally took action, arrested the few banner men who took the lead in escaping, and escorted them to Zhang Haofeng.
"Lord Beast God, these guys are generals, but they took the lead in escaping, and they are bad for the morale of our army, which is a great crime, please let us push them out of the camp gate and behead them, with the heart of the army!"
After escorting the flag men who took the lead in escaping in front of Zhang Haofeng, the flag owners pleaded to Zhang Haofeng.
Faced with this unexpected scene, Zhang Haofeng was stunned for a moment, and then said to those flag owners with a strange expression on his face: "Ahem! You really have a heart! But that, I think it's better to forget it! It's the first time for everyone to go to the battlefield, and it's normal to behave unsatisfactorily, so there's no need to behead or something, just pull it out and hit the 20 boards for a little punishment! ā
"Lord Beast God is magnanimous, he is really a generation of masters! You guys, don't you hurry up and thank the adults for not killing! ā
"Yes! Be! Thank you for the grace of the beast god not to kill! ā
After thanking the other party for not killing the grace, these flag people quickly retreated one by one, but at the same time they were scolding their mothers in their hearts, those flag owners are too unrighteous in the eyes of the table, everyone is the same flag people, the table is just lucky, and the beast god has taken a fancy to it, and there is more of a banner master's name, why kill them at every turn, but fortunately, the beast god did not listen to their slander, so that they escaped a catastrophe. But then it seems that the next thing is to fight with heart, lest those guys get caught again and have an excuse to punish them.
As for the next 20 boards, they didn't pay attention to it at all, in this army, in addition to their bannermen, only their domestic servants remained, those bannermen were all in the same camp as them, and if they were to execute them, they would definitely show mercy, as for those domestic servants and slaves, let them start beating their own masters, do they have the courage!
After some repairs, the banner owners gathered 5,000 soldiers and launched a second attack. If you want to say that they are also bloody, this time they attacked, they actually used those artillery captured from the hands of the Qin army to bombard the cottage first, because they don't know how to make shells, that's one less shot!
However, in order to prevent the Eight Banners Army from becoming bigger, Zhang Haofeng did not give these Diao people too much artillery, and the entire Eight Banners Army was only allocated ten. The number of artillery pieces is very small, and the soldiers who operate the artillery have little experience, so it is strange that this shell can hit accurately, and dozens of shells either hit far or close, and not a single one hit the wall. This made the rebel soldiers in the cottage laugh more than once, and felt that these Eight Banners Army were just some rabble, and the weapons of mass destruction such as artillery were in their hands, and they were no different from scrap metal, and they could not exert any lethality at all.
With contempt, the rebels in the cottage opened the gate of the fortress without waiting for the other party to rush to the wall, and rushed out a group of about 100 light cavalry and more than 500 light infantry, and took the initiative to meet the opponent.
Relying on the advantage of speed, the light cavalry of about 100 people split up and pounced on the enemy soldiers pushing battering rams and carrying ladders before the enemy could react. Because these enemy soldiers were carrying siege equipment, they couldn't spare their weapons to resist for a while, and the more than 100 rebel light cavalry completely defeated these enemies with just a charge. Those siege engines were thrown to the ground in a mess.
The next hundred or so light cavalry did not stop, and immediately together with the more than 500 infantry who arrived on their side, they attacked the remaining enemy troops in front and rear.
The difference between the soldiers who have seen blood on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield is really huge, and this gap is not only reflected in the combat effectiveness, but also in the momentum of both sides. When those rebel soldiers who had really seen blood were holding their swords and screaming like fierce wolves rushing at them, most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners who had only undergone some simple training were so frightened that their heads went blank in an instant, and they didn't even know how to raise their weapons to face them.
Knowing that the enemy's weapon had slashed into their bodies, they were awakened from their stunned state by the severe pain, but at this time they had no time to do anything, they could only watch as the enemy pulled the bloody war knife from their body, and then howled and pounced on the next prey.
In this way, the entire 5,000 soldiers of the Eighth Banner Army were defeated by more than 600 people of the rebels, and this time they were defeated even more miserably and even more embarrassed than the last time, after all, the last time they were only defeated by the enemy's long-range attack and immediately collapsed. In the end, most of the soldiers were able to escape back to the camp with their weapons and equipment intact, but this time, because of the face-to-face white-knuckle battle between the two sides, most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army were frightened by the fierce fighting style of the rebels. It's a pity that the enemy has about 100 light cavalry troops on the enemy's side! These light cavalry troops are the best at chasing and killing the router, even if you lose all the equipment on your body, but the two-legged ones will never be able to outrun the four-legged ones! Therefore, the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army who were able to escape back to the camp in the end turned out to be less than a thousand, and most of the people in it also seemed to be stupid, one by one, their eyes were blank, and they did not react at all even if their comrades roared in their ears, and they could no longer fight.
For the soldiers of their Eight Banners Army to be so vulnerable, those banner owners felt a little unacceptable, after all, the equipment of both sides was similar, and they had all received a few days of formal training, but most of the rebels on the opposite side were born with mud legs, and they had never even touched a sword once except for burying their heads in the land before, let alone receiving any formal military training. In this case, how could more than 5,000 people on their own side not be able to win the battle even with more than 600 people on the other side!
However, whether they could accept it or not, this was the case, and in the end, in desperation, these banner owners decided to suspend the attack on the enemy, anyway, now that the whole mountain was surrounded by them, the enemy could not swim out if he wanted to carry out guerrilla warfare as before. And in this barren mountain range, without reinforcements and supplies sent, the other party will definitely not be able to hold out for long in the cottage. So they can continue to wear down with each other, and finally trap these rebels alive in the cottage.
While the banner owners of the Eight Banners Army were preparing to implement their siege tactics, Shi Jinshui finally returned to Xianyang with his two wives. And as soon as he returned, he heard the good news, that is, Angel and William had made significant achievements in their research on those war beasts.
After getting the news, Shi Jinshui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately rushed to the laboratory with his two wives, wanting to see this so-called major research result for the first time.
Faced with the request of the king Shi Jinshui, Angel and William naturally did not dare to refuse, and they immediately began to report to each other the results of their research during this time.
"Your Majesty, you should also know that most of our current creatures have their own lifespans and their own growth limits, but now according to our research on those Inca God Kingdom war beasts, the creatures on the earth may not have these two things from the beginning."
"It has taken a long time for the creatures on Earth to evolve from the simplest single-celled organisms to the most complex multicellular organisms we have now, but in the process, they are undoubtedly evolving in the direction of bigger, stronger, and more intelligent. Among them, the enormity of body size is the best way to make a biological strength grow rapidly, so the question arises, why is the largest animal on the earth now only a few tens of meters long, not hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters. Tens of thousands of meters! ā
Shi Jinshui: "Do you need to say this!" That's because food is limited, and it simply can't afford to support such a huge animal. ā
"Your Majesty, what you said is right, it is simply to the point, it is precisely because food is limited, so now the size of animals on the earth has its limit, just like a person, no matter how much he eats, he can't eat himself like a giant five or six meters tall."
And why is this happening? That's very simple, because our ancestors also discovered this problem, so in the process of evolution, we set a lock in our body, let's call it a gene lock, this gene lock limits the size of our human beings, so that it can not grow without restrictions, but to a certain extent, it will be completely stereotyped, so that our human race will not become extinct because of food shortage. ā
"And this genetic lock not only controls our body size growth limit, it also limits our human lifespan. In the process of evolution, all organisms will unconsciously adjust their genes with the changes of the environment, and then leave those genes that are more suitable for the living environment to their offspring, so that their offspring will become more intelligent and powerful than themselves, and more adaptable to their living environment. But if those creatures of the older generation have no limit on lifespan and have been alive and occupy a lot of survival resources, then those new generation will not grow up because of the lack of survival resources! As a result, our ancestors also limited our lifespan in our genetic locks, so that when we reached that limit, we died of natural old age, making room and resources for the new generation to survive. ā
"But the problem is that in our research on those Inca God Kingdom war beasts, we found that the beast god may have broken the secret of the genetic lock, so he can transform those animals according to his own needs at will, and transform them into extremely powerful war beasts one by one!"
