Chapter 153: War and Peace
The eagle's eyes, on both sides of the head, its field of vision, almost 360 degrees without dead ends, it must have seen the catapult Li Xu'er, but maybe because the beard was too fast, the giant eagle did not react, just subconsciously clawed with its claws, and was easily dodged by the beard, a shot stabbed the giant eagle's thigh, not to mention, she turned over another harrier and turned over to the back of the giant eagle.
The giant eagle panicked, flapped its wings, turned its head and pecked the whiskers on its back with a hooked beak, pecked several times, the eagle feathers flew around, but they didn't peck, the whiskers had enough, and finally made a move, a shot pierced the back of the giant eagle, the giant eagle screamed, and its body began to fall, piercing the cavalry phalanx of the White Horse Army, and the cavalry hurriedly dodged, poof, the giant eagle fell, raising a burst of dust.
When the dust settled, I saw Xu Er carrying the Liquan spear, jumping off the back of the eagle, and walked towards the scout troops of the Qinglong Kingdom who rushed over without hurry, so frightened that those scouts immediately turned their horses and fled.
"Yay!" The White Horse Army applauded.
Xu Er did not rush forward to kill the enemy, but turned back, mounted his war horse, and returned the Liquan spear to me.
"Xu'er, your surname Li, but from the author of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen?" I asked with a smile.
"Why?" Su'er was puzzled.
"Li Shizhen is handsome!"
“…… Isn't it skin? Don't think I don't read jokes! Xu Er glanced at me, raised her sword, and looked at Ma Dongmei.
Commander Ma understood and ordered the whole army to charge!
Although the rearguard army of the Qinglong Kingdom could not see the demon spirits mixed in the White Horse Army, they also knew that the comers were not good, and they did not dare to be careless, so they turned around, and the rear team became the front team, and soon listed the defensive formation, with the shield soldiers in front, forming a shield wall, and the pikemen in the back, all of which stretched out the long spears from the shoulders of the shield bearers to form a spiked defense, which was the best way for the infantry to resist the cavalry.
When I reached the open field, I ordered the scattered men to form a line and charge parallel to the shield position at a speed of 160 percent.
Arrived at 500 meters in front of the formation, the archers behind the pikemen began to release arrows, they used the conventional 45-degree angle oblique shooting, falling from the sky to kill the arrows, I saw the enemy arrows, quickly ordered to move forward at full speed, because the formation of the White Horse Army is very thin, after the impact speed suddenly increased, most of the arrows were shot behind the cavalry of the White Horse Army, only a small number of crooked arrows hit our army, and there was no shield to block a lot.
After a rain of arrows, I looked behind me, and only four cavalrymen fell to the ground, all of them were arrows from their horses (the shield area was not enough, only to protect the riders), and after the four cavalry landed, they rolled up, unloaded their weapons from the saddle, mixed with the demons, and continued to charge on foot.
Zero battle damage, it would be nice if it could be maintained until the end of the campaign, but unfortunately, it does not exist.
The Qinglong National Guard saw that the White Horse Army was rushing so fiercely, a little timid, part of the front, there was a tendency to slack and retreat, and it became uneven, which was more conducive to the cavalry to break the defense, rushing to 150 meters in front of the formation, and the White Horse Army cavalry began to use their own crossbow machines, foot on the wind, and shoot at the enemy line.
There are only artillery in the demon world, there are no muskets, and the crossbow machine is in the demon world, which is already a high-precision weapon, and I only see the White Horse Army have this configuration, and the other White Tiger Country troops use ordinary bows and arrows.
After firing three rounds in a row, the front-line troops of the Qinglong Army suddenly turned on their backs, but the formation was still good.
"Flip the shield!" I shouted, Ma Dongmei translated at the same time, all the cavalry of the White Horse Army, directly threw the crossbow machine, the shield in the left hand turned over, their shield I have seen, all metal, the inside is a smooth mirror, enough to reflect and strengthen the sun.
At this time, the sunset was still there, and we were rushing to the west, facing the sun, which was an unfavorable situation, but as soon as all the cavalry shields were flipped, thousands of pillars of light strengthened by concave mirrors shot towards the enemy, and the enemy was blinded and freed up their hands to cover it, so that the height of the edge of the spear array dropped a lot.
At the same time, the first wave of demon spirits had already entered the enemy's position and immediately began to act possessively, and the first-line position of the Qinglong Army immediately collapsed after a double blow.
"Draw your sword!" I shouted again, Ma Dongmei interpreted, and the knights drew their swords, this time, not swords, but real swords.
The difference between a knife and a sword is mainly that the knife is heavy, single-sided blade, mainly chopping, the sword is light, flexible and changeable, mainly stabbed, if you pick one, the sword is more suitable, after all, you will win by poking the opponent to death, but on the battlefield, especially the cavalry, the knife is more reliable than the sword, because there is a horse, the power of chopping is far greater than that of a straight stab.
As for the spear (spear), if you fight, it is actually more reliable than the sword, because long, long is justice.
Then why were the cavalrymen not armed with guns, but with swords? Because the gun is easy to get out of the hand, stab the opponent, it is very likely to be the opponent with the body of the gun to take away, the knife is different, cut and go, can continue to kill, so, neutralize the characteristics of the above-mentioned weapons, on the battlefield, the cavalry uses more knives, and the infantry naturally uses guns (spears).
The cavalry machete against the spear, relying on the impact of the horse, and now, the enemy's spear has no effect, they are all possessed by the demon spirit, like a fool, standing in place, these white horse army cavalry, obviously are veterans of the battlefield, the tricks are clean and neat, directly cut the head, one by one, like chopping a turnip.
In an instant, the demon head flew sideways on the battlefield, and in only five minutes, the White Horse Army and the Demon Spirit mixed and matched the troops, and completely tore apart the rear army position of the Qinglong Army, and attacked the artillery position of the Qinglong Army between the middle and rear armies.
This battle was too obscene, it was a massacre, and in order to protect me, Su'er asked me to rush behind, and I followed the troops to the artillery position, and I didn't even shoot a shot, and I felt a little bored.
After occupying the artillery position, I ordered to stop the charge, and in the face of the support of the Qinglong Kingdom Central Army troops who turned around in front of me, I asked the officers and men of the White Horse Army to dismount, press down the muzzle, and change from vertical fire to flat fire, bombarding the enemy troops, the power of the cannonballs is okay, one by one, but the number of cannons is limited, not enough to completely contain the opponent's charge, and when the Qinglong Chinese Army arrives, I will order the officers and men of the White Horse Army to get on their horses, take the demon spirit, and continue to charge.
On the side of White Horse City, seeing the reversal of the situation on the battlefield, after defending the enemy army on the city wall, the city gate was opened, and the whole army attacked, although there were demon spirits assisted, but as the war continued, the vitality of most of the demon spirits was not as good as before, and gradually lost the ability to possess the body, and the two sides became a white-knuckle battle with real knives and guns.
However, whether in terms of morale or numbers, the White Tiger Country has already gained the absolute upper hand, Wu Mei divided two cavalry, detoured from both flanks of the battlefield to support the White Horse Army, and attacked the entire Qinglong army on both sides, blocking their retreat.
The battle lasted from evening to more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the reason why I participated, and even led the battle in a sense, was because my purpose was very clear, that is, to exchange the prisoners for the captured Bao Weier to the Qinglong Kingdom, which was the easiest way to save Wei'er.
Therefore, during the battle, I tried several times to persuade me to surrender, but I did not get a response, and it was not until the remnants of the Qinglong were killed that more than 8,000 people remained, and they surrendered under the leadership of a lieutenant general (the main general was cut down by Su'er).
Annihilated the enemy army, a big victory, Princess Wu Mei was very happy, and went back to the city to set up a banquet to entertain me and Li Xu'er, I directly proposed the idea of exchanging prisoners for Bao Wei'er, Wu Mei hesitated for a moment, and said that she could only give me a hundred people.
"What are you going to do with the remaining captives, kill them?" I asked.
"This army is the ace of the Qinglong Kingdom, the 74th Army," Wu Mei introduced with a wine glass, "You have also seen its combat effectiveness, it is very strong, dare to attack my 50,000 White Horse City with 30,000 people, if it weren't for your help, White Tiger City would have been captured by them." Therefore, this palace cannot release these 8,000 people, because these 8,000 people are all veterans of the 74th Army, and in the Qinglong Army, they are the elite of the elite. Even if they don't kill them, the palace will have to keep imprisoning them, because once they return to the Qinglong Kingdom, use the old to lead the new, and re-form a 74th Army, it will be a fierce force again. Lord Chen, Lord Li, you are anxious to save people, this palace understands, but I also hope that you will understand the distress of this palace. ”
I nodded: "What you said makes sense, but if there are only a hundred captives, the Qinglong Kingdom may not be willing to change ...... Why don't you give me more? ”
"One hundred and fifteen, no more." Wu Mei put down the wine glass and said coldly.
"Eight thousand, why do you have to give me eight hundred!" I'm actively fighting for it.
"No, two hundred!"
"Seven hundred!"
"Two hundred!"
"Five hundred," I stretched out my finger and frowned, "I really can't be less, Bao Weier is one of the top ten yin handsomes in my underworld, Your Royal Highness Princess, don't underestimate her worth too much." ”
Wu Mei stretched out three fingers, and wanted to bargain, but an old general demon next to her (the commander of the White Horse City Guard, the leader of the 50,000 people) said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, five hundred is five hundred, don't chill the heart of the horse master, it can be regarded as giving the underworld a face, in the future, we have to ask the underworld for more help." ”
Jiang is still old and spicy, this old comrade sees the problem more long-term, the White Tiger Country is now facing the Qinglong Country, in a completely defensive posture, and is in urgent need of foreign aid, so they will ask the second leader for help, but unfortunately they were given a cold reception.
If the human race can't do it, they have to ask the ghost clan for help, and they also saw the combat power of the ghost clan just now, it's very powerful, the prisoner is replaced by the yin handsome, this is a good opportunity to deal with the underworld.
As for the matter of the horse, it is just a scene, I don't believe that the monarch of the White Tiger Kingdom dares to compete with the Lord of Yama for the horse, that will damage the relationship between the two countries, the enemy is at present, and the national interests are the first, although I also like Princess Wu Mei.
Princess Bingxue was smart, nodded, thought for a moment, understood the subtext of the old general, raised her eyes and smiled: "According to your wishes, I will give you eight hundred people, including the deputy general of Qinglong." ”
"Thank you, princess!" I picked up my glass and drank heartily.
This rice wine is mixed with red wine, the degree is not high, but I am in good spirits at happy events, plus there are too many generals who come to toast, or drink high, after the banquet, the generals dispersed, I asked Xu'er for instructions, a person came out, went up the city wall, sobered up while walking, I really wanted to smoke a cigarette, but unfortunately there is no tobacco in the demon world, and the half box of cigarettes I brought has long been gone.
The moon was very large, and the corpses had been cleaned up on the battlefield outside the city, but there were still the wreckage of chariots and artillery positions, and the smoke was curling and desolate.
War, a chilling word, an ugly word, a word full of killing.
No one likes it except the crazy ones.
When war is born, it will inevitably be baptized with the blood of the military and civilians.
The roar of the cannon will surely make countless once smiling faces disappear.
There are always people who don't know the blessings in the blessings, scolding the Chinese country, so bad, that bad, one party is autocratic, there are no human rights, freedom, they may not have thought about it, when they eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, do not have to worry about three meals a day, do not have to worry about the safety of their lives, wantonly vent their dissatisfaction with the country and the nation on the Internet, and enjoy the vanity brought to them by the keyboard, what kind of state of mind are those people in the midst of war?
I don't have clothes to cover my body, I don't have enough food, and every day when I get up, I have to secretly rejoice that I didn't die in the midnight rumbling cannons, and I lived one more day. What about those soldiers, after going to the battlefield, many times they can't help themselves, and how much can keyboard warriors know about the fear of facing death at any time?
People can't have no conscience, as long as they work hard, they can make money to support their families, and the people are rich in a society, who gave it? How many war-free countries are there in the world for 70 years?
It is the credit of the people and the credit of our party that these achievements have attracted worldwide attention, and they are not the ones who can slander them by some young people and those with ill intentions, and if they have time to complain about the society, it is better to charge more and make their overall strength stronger, to put it bluntly, let themselves be more capable, earn more money, and live a more tasteful life, which is the right way.
Rich people and successful people will not complain about society, because they know that the national conditions of China are relatively fair, and between various classes, it is far from being solidified like in Western society, and everyone has the opportunity, as long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you work in the right direction, you can probably live the life you want.
If you're in the demon world, hehe, look at the soldiers who are celebrating wildly after winning the battle, are they celebrating the victory?
No, they're just celebrating, they're fucking alive!
This is definitely not the environment you want, but this is very likely to be the environment that some people will bring to you by Mi Guo's father, who is crazy to kneel and lick!
Why? According to the speed of development of China, within ten years, the total economic output will surpass the boss on this earth. The best way is to drag you into the quagmire of war, consume your national strength, let you go back to 70 years ago, and turn all the conveniences and benefits you originally enjoyed into luxury!
Wake up, don't forget your identity, we are the descendants of Yan and Huang, not the grandsons of the United States!
"What do you think?" Someone tapped me on the shoulder and pulled me back from my anger back to the reality of the demon world.
I looked back, it was Wu Mei, she had also drunk a lot, her cheeks were slightly red, she was only wearing a close-fitting white coat in the battle armor, she was holding her arms, trembling.
"Didn't you sleep, why did you come out again?" I asked.
"I'm a little worried about you, come and have a look." Wu Mei pursed her lips and smiled, she came alone and did not bring guards.
I took off my robe and draped it over her: "Don't catch a cold, go back to your room." ”
"yes, okay." Wu Mei leaned into my arms, and the two went down to the city side by side.
"By the way, tomorrow my father will summon you."
"Huh?" I was stunned, "I'll have to go and change prisoners tomorrow, and then I'll go back." ”
"That's leaving?" Wu Mei stopped and frowned.
"What, can't bear me?" I'm kidding.
Wu Mei didn't squeak, lowered her head, and walked silently to the city......
