Chapter 63: The Great Victory
The generals are worried about the arrows, and the arrows saved in the southwest for 30 years are only more than two million, which sounds like a lot, and if you really fight, you can shoot them all in a few days.
300,000 arrows a day? How can it be bluffing? They are all veteran generals in the army, and how to build arrow clusters are all clear, and they can't imagine how to produce 300,000 arrows a day.
Renault didn't want to do it after three days, this job was too boring, watching others busy, he just needed to look at the data of the God of Wealth, add a little carbon content and finish the job, as for the carbon content exceeding the standard, really give up, he didn't think of a way to reduce carbon.
Even so, with the continuous investment of manpower, the output of three days has reached 1.5 million arrow clusters, and the number of manpower sand turbines has increased to 300, which is not enough. Casting and forging are incomparable.
In fact, Renault also knows that the arrow cluster cast in this way is quite deceptive, and the iron ingot should be made into steel ingots first, and then after the forging process, the arrows can be cast to produce good arrows, which is not a trouble. Besides, even if the process is simplified, the products that come out are far better than those made by Dachu.
Made by Da Chu, in the eyes of Renault, it can be directly classified as garbage, and no one will pick it up if it is thrown away.
"I said Sun Lei, it's almost enough, if you cast it for another day today, there will be more than two million arrow clusters. "Renault is really annoyed.
Sun Lei was more well-behaved than his grandson in front of Renault, and he didn't salute or speak: "Sir, please help more, cast one more arrow cluster, maybe the sergeant in front will die less." ”
Look at what he said, as if Renault didn't help with the work, he became a murderer, which made Renault, who ate and drank for nothing, not know how to refute it.
You say that so many arrows are tiring enough to shoot. Renault has tried, and the bows and crossbows here are very hard, and continuous shooting of the bow will exhaust people.
This is not a bow and arrow in a gym, it is for sports, and it is used for killing.
"Sir, why don't you pass on the smelting technology to us, if we learn it, naturally there is no need for Mr. to work hard. "Sun Lei is quite shameless, is he embarrassed to say this?
Renault really wants to teach......
He won't!
Shook his head: "Sun Lei, it's not that I don't teach, it's that you can't learn, I look at the molten iron, I know what is missing, can you see it?"
In fact, Sun Lei is just a temptation, he has been following Renault for the past three days, and he can't understand how Renault judged it at all, there is no trace of it, maybe this is the magic of the secret master, how can mortals learn it?
The result of the temptation is really like this, it's not that the gentleman doesn't teach, it's that he can't learn!
"Sir, the decisive battle has begun, all the ambushes are coming, the barbarian 200,000 trapped beasts are still fighting, the time of death is just around the corner, please Sir work hard for a few more days. Sun Lei saluted again and again.
In this decisive battle, General Zhu ...... Clear......
Command the whole army, bow and crossbow in unison, scatter freely, shoot as many as you can. The Southwest Desert Legion has never been so generous, even if the days are over, there is no such way to play.
On the first day of the decisive battle, 350,000 arrows were consumed, on the second day, 700,000, and on the third day, 650,000.
It is said that on the battlefield, the arrows are like a forest, falling like rain, and after three days, the barbarians do not know how much they lost, and the desert army lost less than three thousand.
This kind of decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, with a loss of less than 3,000, even General Zhu couldn't believe it.
There are few people to lose, and more arrows are consumed, so it's really open to release arrows. When they were tired of shooting, they were replaced, and they shot in batches, day and night, and the soldiers of the desert legion went crazy.
This battle is different, it is an encirclement war, the ambush of the barbarians, the battle formation of the cavalry is not used, and the desert legion uses bows and crossbows to open the way, and gradually compresses the space of the barbarians.
The armor of the desert army is better than that of the barbarians, especially the armor, the difference is not half a point, and the result of the shooting is naturally that the Dingxi army has an advantage.
"Okay, then be busy for a few more days, and when you have time, help me speak for the general, and end the battle quickly. Renault said helplessly.
Since he had the tissue, Renault has not been easy to get angry, except for looking at the carbon content of the molten iron, which is to take care of the pair of Tianpeng eggs.
As for manganese steel, chrome steel or something, he doesn't care anymore. Only the flying cow broke the iron and asked a few words every two days. When he was idle, he took a pen and paper and meditated and prepared to design a set of armor by himself, he was not interested in weapons, and the armor must be good.
Da Chu's armor design is too rough, there are gaps everywhere, such armor is useful, when you meet a marksman, no matter how good the armor material is, it can easily kill you.
For the next two days, Renault continued to instruct the casting of arrows.
In the evening, just after the casting of a furnace, a tsunami of cheers could be heard in the distance.
Won, Da Chu won, Dingxi Desert Legion won, and the barbarians have descended!
This is the strangest war in the history of Great Chu, starting from the discovery of the barbarian army to the end of the final war, which lasted a total of forty-one days, and the real decisive battle was only six days and five nights, which was shorter than any war with more than 100,000 people.
This is just the feeling of ordinary people, and at the level of Zhu Chongjiu, he receives dozens of times more information than ordinary people, and his cognition is completely different.
If it is calculated from the attack on the ninth princess, the time will be extended by fifteen days. If the assassination of his eldest son Zhu Fu is calculated, then it will be extended by twenty-five days.
It may even have to be pushed forward for a few months, or longer.
This war began with a conspiracy and ended up like a farce, and all of this seems to be related to the secret master in the general's mansion, if there is no sudden appearance of him, what the result will be, even General Zhu can't judge, thinking about it carefully, it will make him creepy.
Zhu Fu died, the nine princesses robbed, Zhu Chongjiu was seriously injured or died, Lu Fei rebelled, and the forty-eight countries occupied Dingjun City, and even ...... Still rebelling somewhere else?
These are no longer certain, at least judging from the recent biography of the flying geese that came back from Dachu, the ancient wells in Dachu are not wavering, and even those who originally jumped very fiercely have become very calm.
"General, the battle report has been counted. Yang Feng walked into the tent and said.
"Read. "Zhu Chongjiu is still a little bit of a wanderer, his mind is full of Renault's figure, and there is also the Flying Bull Divine Armor.
"This battle lasted a total of forty-one days, three battlefields, the main battlefield is fifty miles west of Dingjun City, and the secondary battlefields are Qiandingbao in the south and Mangniu Fort in the north. In this battle, more than 86,000 enemies were killed, more than 113,000 were captured, and less than 40,000 escaped. ”
"Well, go ahead. "A big victory, there is no doubt about it, this is a great victory that shakes the past and the present, but General Zhu can't get excited, the enemy's marching map, supply map, and layout map are all in his hands, if so, if you can't win, Zhu Chongjiu thinks it's better to commit suicide directly, let alone be commanded by him Zhu Chongjiu, with this information, it is impossible for any general Hu Ben below to command.
The difference is just the price of victory and the gain, so Zhu Chongjiu can't be happy.
"Our army suffered 13,800 casualties, of which 4,600 were killed. ”
Sure enough, it was a big victory, nearly 200,000 people were killed and captured, and their own casualties were only 10,000, which was a big victory of 20 to 1.
But...... Zhu Chongjiu was still not happy, and examined his orders over and over again, always feeling that such casualties were unacceptable.
In particular, after the order to shoot with all your might, without limiting the bow and crossbow. In six days, the Dingxi Desert Legion shot out five million arrows, five million......
There are less than 250,000 people in the plateau, and each of them can get 20 arrows......
Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this war, when recording history, is probably not because of a big victory, nor because of the proportion of battle losses between the enemy and us, but the unprecedented five million arrows.
The Eight Great Legions of Great Chu, the Desert Legion is not the one with the most arrows, and it is definitely not the least, after a battle, the other seven generals are afraid that they will be red-eyed.
Five million arrows, maybe only the Yulin Legion in His Majesty's hands has such a reserve, and he will shoot them all in one battle.
4,600 people were killed, not too little, but too much, so much that Zhu Chongjiu was a little unbearable, this was his Zhu Chongjiu's incompetence.
In fact, we can't blame General Zhu entirely, after all, the change in thinking is the most difficult. Even if you have all the information of the enemy in advance, lure the enemy deep, encircle and squeeze, no matter how correct the strategy and tactics are, the final victory still depends on the soldiers of Da Chu, killing with a knife and a halberd.
Before the decisive battle, General Zhu thought that if he could play a five-to-one result, it would be acceptable, and if it was ten to one, it would be a big victory. But now it's twenty to one, and he feels ...... It's so uncomfortable.
The key lies in the arrows, the unlimited supply of arrows, who has ever heard of it? Not to mention the commanders of the eight major legions, even if His Majesty the Great Chu is personally on the expedition, it is impossible to give such an order.
"General, this is a big victory. Yang Feng's consideration is obviously not as high as Zhu Chongjiu, in his opinion, such a big victory, Da Chu is the first time in history, including the founding ancestor, has never had a big victory.
"What is Mr. busy with?" Zhu Chongjiu didn't respond at all, feeling uncomfortable.
"When the gentleman heard of the great victory, he went out of the city with his men. Yang Feng said.
Zhu Chongjiu rubbed his temples: "The guards around Mr. are thorough?"
Although no one dares to attack the secret master, Mr. never admits that he is a secret master, which is not a loophole, Zhu Chongjiu has to be careful, if something happens to Mr., Zhu Chongjiu is a sinner, and no matter how great the credit is, it is not worth it.
To be honest, as a general, Zhu Chongjiu's understanding of the secret master is also limited, and he has heard all kinds of rumors before, but rumors are just rumors after all, and they are easy to be mythologized.
But this time, he personally experienced the magic of the secret master, and naturally understood that no matter how much he respected, protected, and worshipped the secret master, it was all right, and he even felt that he had done too little.
"Rest assured, the general has five hundred feather forests and five thousand deserts around him. Now that Dingjun City is thousands of miles away, there is nothing except for some barbarians who have been scattered. Yang Feng said confidently.
