13. Smoke everywhere
It is a beautiful little village with a population of no more than six or seven hundred people. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info their lives were pretty peaceful. But on this day, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves awakened the calm of the small village.
See the hundreds of heavy cavalry that appeared in front of you, the tall horses, the shining heavy armor, and the sharp spears. All the villagers closed their eyes very familiarly, they understood that in the face of such a heavy cavalry, needless to say that they were unarmed civilians, even an elite military with the same strength would be doomed.
"We are troops of the Whirlwind Battalion of the Pegasus Legion of the Tiger Kingdom. Guys, I'm sorry, I'm going to burn down your house, from now on, I'll give you half an hour, you can move as much as you can, we don't rob. However, everyone, please remember that the reason why we don't kill is because our Pegasus Legion commander is a benevolent man, doesn't mean we won't kill, and I hope you will refrain from letting your blood get on our hands. β
Thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, everyone understands this, it's good to meet a little better military discipline, if it is an official army with bad military discipline, not only rob, but also rob men and women, and even, slaughtering villages is also a common thing. Now this army does not rob, does not kill, but only burns houses, which is already very merciful.
Resist, or don't want it, it will die. The house was burned, the people were still there, and they could still be rebuilt, but there was only one life, and when they died, they were gone. The villagers knew each other very well, and even if they fought desperately and died, they didn't want to hurt this group of heavy cavalry. Of course, as for whether these enemies really don't kill people, that can only be hope.
I saw the villagers leaving the village one by one in fear. The fighters of the Whirlwind Battalion began to set fires. In a short time, the flames burst into the sky, burning the entire village to the sky, and thick smoke billowed up into the sky.
Ma Mengshi divided the whirlwind battalion into ten teams and ran to ten roads. Before the enemy's army arrived, each destroyed the small towns of all the villages they encountered. As for the city, she was in no hurry to destroy it.
Not killing people, of course, is because Ma Mengshi doesn't want his subordinates to have too much innocent blood on their hands, but in the same way, this is also a poisonous plan to kill people without seeing blood. A large number of civilians are not able to bring out much food because their homes have been destroyed, and these people still have to eat, and after their homes are destroyed, when they are homeless, they can only flow into nearby cities, putting heavy pressure on the survival of nearby cities. A large population consumes a large amount of food in the surrounding area, and also poses a heavy burden on the enemy's army in the future.
It's cruel, but it works, doesn't it?
1,600 infantry, 300 cavalry, facing the elite iron cavalry of the 500 whirlwind battalion led by Ma Mengshi, just a charge, this rabble that had been gathered together had already dispersed in a hurry. An officer led by Ma Mengshi asked Ma Mengshi to split a sword from a space of twenty zhang, and even the people and horses were split into four pieces, blood splashed, and internal organs flowed all over the ground. The rest of the people naturally scattered and fled for their lives, only hating their father and mother for missing two feet.
"Dad, Mom is so cruel, there is so much blood, I'm so scared." Through the telescope in his hand, Ma Guohua saw that Ma Mengshi split the enemy into four with a sword, and the enemy's death was extremely miserable, so it was strange that he was not frightened.
In the high sky, Yang Siqi sat on Pegasus with his son in his arms, his left hand circled, and Ma Guohua's small body was held in his arms, and life energy entered his son's body. Seeing Ma Guohua's little face turning pale for a while, Yang Siqi's heart trembled with pain, so that a four-year-old child saw his mother killing, and his little face turned pale with fright, and even the telescope in his hand almost fell off. This is indeed very, very cruel, and he himself wanted to slap himself twice, but he still hardened his heart.
"Hua'er, don't be afraid, Dad holds you, Dad protects you, don't be afraid." While comforting his son, he used his mental power to help his son soothe his heart. Slowly, Ma Guohua regained his composure.
"Dad, Mommy is so cruel." Ma Guohua said a little scared.
"Yes, killing people is a very cruel thing. It's not just your mother who kills people who are cruel, but so are your uncles and uncles, most of the enemies they kill are incomplete corpses. β
"Dad, let Mom stop killing, okay?" Ma Guohua's idea is very naΓ―ve.
"Hua'er, do you know why your mother came to this place to kill people?" Of course, Yang Siqi will not scold his son, but guides him very patiently.
Of course Ma Guohua doesn't understand.
"Because these people are enemies, they want to storm our homes, kill our compatriots, kill our brothers and sisters, rob my belongings, burn our houses, and if we don't intercept them, many of our compatriots will die. You don't want Xiaoju and Xiaoqing to be killed, or the uncles and uncles you usually see are killed. "Xiaoju, Xiaoqing and others are the maids who serve Ma Guohua, if you say that other people Ma Guohua will definitely not have too many feelings, but if you say that the maids who have played with him since childhood, he will have feelings.
"Dad, is that really the case?"
"Yes, Hua'er, Dad will never lie to you. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening, your mother had to bring her uncles and uncles over and kill them first. β
"However, they also have their parents, and when they die, won't their parents be sad?"
"Hua'er, Dad is very glad you can think so. Life is precious, and when everyone dies, their parents will be sad. Now, Dad will teach you another lesson, and you will have to listen to it. β
"Dad, what's the point?"
"Dad beat you, it hurts you so much, but did Dad beat you for no reason?"
"No, my father beat me because I didn't work hard in my cultivation."
"Then do you hate Daddy?"
"I used to hate it, but now I don't hate it, my dad is for my good." Although Ma Guohua is only four years old, he has become much more sensible after studying for more than half a year.
"If you've been cultivating and studying very hard, but your father still beats you, then do you hate your father?" Yang Siqi further guided.
"Is Daddy doing it for me?"
"No, Daddy just wanted to hit you."
"I hate it."
"It's best if you understand. We did not offend these enemies below, but they wanted to storm our homes, rob our belongings, burn our houses, and bully our sisters. So, they should be taught, and they deserve to be killed. β
Ma Guohua seemed to understand and said: "But, Dad, I still think it's not good to kill people." β
"Yes, war, it kills, of course it's not good. Taibai, do you remember who Taibai was taught by your father? β
"Remember, it was the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, who was known as the poet immortal. He has written many famous poems, and my father taught me "Silent Night Thoughts", "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall", and "Gift to Wang Lun". β
"Taibai has a poem "Zhan Cheng Nan", the whole poem of this poem Dad will teach you later, the last sentence of this poem is: 'Those who know the soldiers are murder weapons, and the saints must not use them.'" Bing refers to weapons, such as knives and swords, and by extension, refers to force, armies, etc. The meaning of this poem is that the army will bring endless slaughter to mankind, and those in power should try to solve problems in a political way, and not use excessive force, and only use force when they are forced to do so. It can also be simply understood that force is the last resort, and should not be used until the last moment. As long as force is used, there will be casualties. β
Of course, Ma Guohua doesn't understand such a profound truth. Yang Siqi didn't expect to be able to teach his son now, just to leave an impression on his son, anyway, there will be time to teach slowly in the future.
Yang Siqi in the sky is teaching his son, but Ma Mengshi on the ground has already created countless killings. The Iron Cavalry of the Five Thousand Whirlwind Battalion coincided at the same time, constantly destroying Wanshan Province of the Great Wu Kingdom.
In just three days, the Cyclone Camp has burned thousands of villages, destroyed more than sixty towns, and created at least hundreds of thousands of refugees. It is directly inserted into Wanshan Province and is more than 500 miles deep. Everywhere you go, no one can beat you.
On this land of tens of thousands of square kilometers, the Great Wu Kingdom also has cities, and the defenders in the cities plus the private armies of the nobles also have 10,000 or 20,000 people. However, seeing the front of the whirlwind battalion, those generals who defended the city had already been frightened, this was a heavy cavalry, and it was still the elite of the elite, with their local defenders, there were no more than ten times the strength, and they didn't want to fight, so they knew each other very well and closed the city gate, held out, and let the whirlwind battalion wreak havoc on this land.
The Whirlwind Battalion is strong, but the siege is not its forte. Besides, Ma Mengshi has no intention of attacking the city now, if she really wants to attack the city, as long as she summons the Pegasus Mountain Battalion to come over, with the flying ability of Pegasus and the elite of the Mountain Battalion, it will not be difficult to break the city. It's just that Ma Mengshi has already made a plan, and now she has to destroy a large number of villages and towns, create a large number of refugees, and make the army of the Great Wu Kingdom carry a heavy burden before it arrives. As for the breakdown of these small cities, it is not too late to fight when the enemy army arrives.
Such a divided cooperative battle requires a high level of intelligence system as support, and the air-flying demonic beasts raised by Yang Siqi happen to be able to do this, don't even think about it if you change to others.
The biggest trouble in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is intelligence, and it is relatively easy to obtain intelligence on the basis of fighting guerrilla warfare on one's own territory, but in guerrilla warfare in the depth of the enemy, intelligence has become the most fatal problem.
If it weren't for Yang Siqi's ability to strengthen a batch of fifth-level Demonic Beast Sky Falcon in the past few years, which could fly at an altitude of seven thousand meters, and his ability to recognize the way was superb, and could be used to transmit information between the two armies, it would be enough to fight guerrilla warfare with the backward communication methods of this alien planet.
And it is precisely because of these inconspicuous things that it has completely changed the combat mode of the Pegasus Legion, and this tactic of using elite cavalry behind the enemy's back, attacking the enemy's logistics transportation lines, and cutting off the enemy's logistics supply will definitely make the enemy unable to eat and walk around.
"Dad, Mom is so heroic." Ma Guohua saw Ma Mengshi behead a high-ranking enemy general under the horse with a sword, cheering for his mother in the air. After three or four days of watching the battle in the air, seeing the battlefield again, Ma Guohua was no longer too afraid, and no longer thought that his mother's killing was cruel, on the contrary, he thought it was heroic. This is used to it, and the second is that after Yang Siqi's education, it is well guided.
"Yes, your mother has always been very brave, in order to protect her family, she has always been at the forefront of the battle, killing countless enemies. You'll have to be filial to your mother in the future. β
"Well, I am filial to my mother, and I am filial to you."
Although he knew that what his son said was still a blank check, Yang Siqi's heart was still as sweet as drinking honey, and it was already very good to let his son know the word filial piety.
Duke Fu Anning, the commander of the northern route of the Great Wu Kingdom's Tiger Killing Army and the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, received a snowflake-like call for help, and he almost couldn't believe his eyes. Ma Mengshi dared to enter Wanshan Province with thousands of cavalry? And, causing them so much trouble? What should I do? Now, his army on the northern route is still more than 700 miles away from the border between the two countries, and more than 300 miles away from Ma Mengshi's whirlwind battalion, although the light cavalry can arrive in two days, but only send a small force over, is it useful?
Rescuers cannot but be sent, and if they are not sent, they are afraid that the important town of Sand Iron City, which must be passed to the border, will not be able to be protected. Duke Fu'an looked at the map and set his eyes on the iron city. Ordered: "Order the 1st Cavalry Division to set off at full speed, and be sure to arrive at Sand Iron City before noon tomorrow, and hold Sand Iron City for me." β
