Yang Tianhong is a great Chu Yi and brave, with 3,000 households. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The policy of the Jiedu Embassy towards the victims of the disaster was to turn these people into "state serfs" in the true sense of the word. Yang Tianhong doesn't need so many free people. Of course, it is a good thing that the people are having a better life. However, there is still a need for a real class of rich and poor. Otherwise, there is a high risk that the situation in Anju will get out of control in a hundred years. He doesn't need so many rich people, but the concept of "well-off" is essential. Only in this way will most of the wealth not be allowed to flow to the people, but through various channels, it will be truly in their own hands.

Even in the best of cases, it would take at least twenty years for the victims to become truly free people. Of course, even if they are held back by this land, the benefits of the victims will be far greater than before. Anju has fertile soil, and as long as you are not a slacker, everyone can be self-sufficient. The affluence of a society is often directly proportional to the development of science and technology. There were no steam engines in this era, let alone television and telephones. He really had no better way than to gradually slow down the affluence of the people through power.

Wealth can only be unleashed if it is truly concentrated in the hands of those who are at the highest level of power.

What's more, the development model of Anju is different from any other place in the world. In addition to the need for state serfs and freedmen, Yang Tianhong also needed a large number of workers. And these are definitely not the interests that the nobles or wealthy families of the Chu State are willing to give up. They like to kill, and they especially like to kill people to sacrifice to the sky. Any festival will come up with the extremely barbaric practice of sacrificing living people. Moreover, killing people will be addictive, and competing for wealth has become one of the dirtiest vices of the nobles of Chu State. Your family killed dozens of slaves for sacrifice, and my family killed hundreds at once. If a noble nobleman died, the number of slaves buried with him was in the thousands.

Meng Qi's father, Meng Xiong, talked about this with many nobles in the capital, and expressed his willingness to buy these slaves for sacrifice and burial at a high price. However, the thinking of the aristocracy has been fixed. Although they love silver money. But he can only regret Meng Xiong's suggestion. In this world, the power of the gods is somehow even higher than that of the emperor. They believed that gold and silver could not be circulated in the world after death, and that only the slaves who were buried with them could make them happy forever.

If the strength of the Xuanhuo Legion in Yang Tianhong's hands is as strong as a million people, then he also has the capital to confront these nobles. Yang Tianhong has no doubt that he can do this. However, the biggest problem in front of him is still time.

Jiping County was built into a real fortress. Anzhou Prefecture, Cai County, Jiping three places. Together, they form the most prosperous core area of the whole Anju. As a fortress to protect the safety of the entire Anju, Ji Ping has resettled tens of thousands of victims before and after. The fortifications of the city have been increasing, and the surrounding area has also formed a characteristic type dominated by military camps.

In a few months, it's autumn.

At this time of year, the Yue barbarians would enter and plunder. This year, Yang Tianhong decided to break this fixed pattern, and the Xuanhuo Legion took the initiative to attack and burn and plunder the territory of the Yue barbarians.

The main force of the operation was five thousand experienced veterans. Together with 45,000 well-trained recruits, they make up all the troops that go out to fight. Behind them. It's a huge number of logistical support personnel. Yang Tianhong's idea is simple———— Anzhou's development needs a wider space. Anzhou faces the sea in the east and west, and the road to Chu is blocked by the Panshi Pass in the north. The only way to go is to go south.

Dianjiangtai is a pyramid-shaped staircase platform built of bluestone. Standing at the top, looking at the army ready to go, Yang Tianhong's heart swelled with pride.

He wielded his psionic energy, and his loud and majestic voice resounded throughout the audience: "Many of you are veterans who have been following us for a long time. I believe in your performance on the battlefield, and I believe that none of you will back down in the face of a strong enemy. However. War is a thing full of uncertainties. Remember, it's about victory. To see each of you come back alive. The Flame Legion never wants to die. This kind of thing can only be thrown at our enemies. This is to give you strength and opportunities, and if you want to get honor and wealth, you need to fight for it yourself on the battlefield. The Yue people have never been the people of Dachu, so they don't have any psychological burden. To kill them is to slay the beasts. They eat people, and there is no reason at all. Nor do they deserve to live in this world. In this war, there should be no prisoners, no women and no children. Use the knives in your hands to kill every Yue you can see. ”

......

The 50,000 elite Xuanhuo Legion split into two routes and attacked the Yue Kingdom.

War is not as simple as lip service. Back two years ago. Yang Tianhong sent a large number of scouts to infiltrate the territory of Yue to survey the terrain. Although the Yue people established state power in imitation of the Great Chu, they did not establish a relevant legal basis. The Yue people have the national capital and the city, but they have no relevant civilization. All of them remained in their primitive state before the slave society.

Between this vast area of hills and plains, there are scattered large and small Yue villages. Among them, the largest villages were merged to form the prototype of the city. Of course, in the official correspondence of the Yue people, these large villages are called "cities".

Dien Bien is the closest city to Yue and Chu. There have been several royal families here, of course, the time must go back more than 2,000 years. At that time, the Yue royal family had not yet used the strange double surname "Ruan Chen", just the surname Chen.

Standing on the makeshift watchtower, Yang Hu's fat face showed a fierce and cold smile.

The training level of the Xuanhuo Legion was far higher than that of any army in the Chu State. Yang Tianhong does not recognize people, although Guangping Hou is surnamed Yang, but no one has received special care. From the first day when he was assigned to the new barracks of the Xuanhuo Army, Yang Hu felt that he was simply stupid and took the initiative to jump into hell. The wolf-like instructor made him understand what it means to resolutely obey orders, and made him understand that refusing to resist is worse than death. It's either starvation or confinement. Worse than that, they had to be stripped naked and flogged, and their entire backs were beaten to a bloody pulp. If he can survive, he will still be a member of the Xuanhuo Army. If you can't get through it, you'll die. The next day, another recruit will come in to fill the unlucky guy's place.

The treatment of the Xuanhuo Legion is really good. Not to mention that the military salary is sufficient, it is only the one that has meat. It is enough to attract the poor people to sharpen their heads and get in. In their opinion, hard training and fatigue are nothing at all. As long as you can eat enough and eat well, it is the greatest happiness in the world.

At that time, Yang Hu felt that he would definitely die of exhaustion in the barracks. It wasn't that he didn't think about running away. It's just that before he could implement it, he was frightened by the bloody cruel reality and didn't dare to act anymore.

Like all armies, the Xuanhuo Army had deserters. However, the phenomenon of desertion only exists in the recruit training camp of the Xuanhuo Legion. Many recruits who can't survive the training want to leave, but the strict military regulations do not allow these people to back down. Even if you submit the discharge paperwork to the officer, you will be torn to pieces on the spot by the officer's sneer, and you will be given an extra whip. Some "smart people" with flexible minds have come up with unique solutions. They deliberately got injured in training. Either he injured his leg or foot, or he dislocated his arm. Then, poor Baba begged the instructor to be extra kind and let him go. In the face of this situation, the instructor always called the military attendants at the first time, and used the most simple and effective method to restore the health of these people in the fastest time.

It's normal to get injured in training. Another world has its own way of coping. But no matter what, even if it's a short break. In the future, it is still necessary to make up for the backward training progress. After coming and going, it is much more cost-effective to be honest and trained.

There are also people who are more ruthless. They'll look for a place where no one can see. Deliberately jumping from a height, causing serious injuries such as broken legs and feet. Others gritted their teeth and slammed their arms against the rocks, and then their arms broke. Although it was painful and painful, he held on to his broken arm. He found the instructor, cried and claimed that he had been injured in training, and then begged to leave the barracks.

Whenever this happens, the instructor just raises his fist and beats the guys up. Then, call in a wolf-like military firing squad. Tie up these guys who think they are smart, and then use the iron rods prepared in advance, insert them through the buttocks, penetrate the body, drill through the heads, and turn the living into meat on iron sticks, which will be roasted naturally under the sun.

Regardless of the training of any subject, there are veteran instructors on the side, and there will be absolutely no serious injuries such as hand and foot disabilities. The Xuanhuo military rules are extremely strict: if a recruit is accidentally injured during training, the instructor must be held accountable in accordance with the regulations. On the contrary, if a recruit commits suicide, then the counterfeiter is a mortal sin that will be fatal. Not only did they deprive them of all the benefits, but they also had to hang the corpses high for public display.

In the face of this cold and cruel punishment, Yang Hu was scared half to death, and completely dispelled the idea of escaping.

No one has ever been able to escape the boot camp. The level of guarding here is even far greater than that of the Chu Imperial Palace. In the recruit training camp of the Xuanhuo Legion, there is a joke: as long as someone can successfully escape from this ghost place, they will also have the qualifications to walk back and forth on the rivers and lakes. Even if you sneak into the palace and sleep with the emperor's favorite concubine in your arms every day, it is not a problem at all.

Yang Hu didn't know how many times he cried, how many tears and sweat he shed, and finally got the qualification certificate for graduating from recruit training. Although it was only a thin card the size of a palm, Yang Hu still held it and wept bitterly, wailing for a whole day. That kind of earth-moving scene is even more touching than when he himself bumped into his long-lost father.

If it weren't for Yang Tianhong's help to avenge the Xuan family, Yang Huning would have left the recruit training camp if he died. This kind of life is simply not human. He even felt that there was not a single living person here, just some transformer beasts with human-like bodies.

That's all in the past. Today, Yang Hu has become an officer of the Xuanhuo Legion, commanding ten elite soldiers who are fully armed.

Cousin Yang Jie passed the recruit training early. His current position is much higher than Yang Hu's, and he is a hundred households in the Xuanhuo Legion. If this operation goes smoothly and makes a contribution, maybe he can become the first thousand-household officer among the many children of the Yang family.

Even, it is possible to become a general.

Dien Bien City is right in front of you.

In Yang Hu's view, this cannot be regarded as a city at all. There were no walls, and there was no building that could be admired by itself. As many as 1,000 bamboo buildings stand in the forest, crowding one after another to occupy the valley. A winding river flowed through it, and all the Yue people in the whole Dien Bien ate by the river. Yang Hu didn't know what pollution was, but he felt that these Yue barbarians were really dirty. The upstream side is and peeing, and the downstream side is still boiling water and cooking. The most elaborate ones are probably the stone houses in the center. These Yue people really don't know what architecture is. They did not have the technique of burning bricks, and they were built entirely of stones. among the gaps. Fill with dirt. Although the climate is humid, the surface of the stone houses is overgrown with vines, and there are scattered wildflowers, which looks very wild, but this kind of place is really not suitable for living. In the words of those veterans: after living in it for a long time, I am afraid that grass will grow in the middle of the thighs and in the gap between the buttocks. When the time comes. Put a naked and whitewashed woman in front of you, and you can only be powerless.

The scouts have been released, and the detection radius has expanded to more than fifty miles. There was no movement in several major Vietnamese cities in the neighboring area. This means that in a short period of time, it is impossible for Dien Bien City to receive any reinforcements.

The structure of the trebuchet is very simple, it is a practical version of the principle of leverage. Yang Tianhong led the army to think very carefully, and the craftsmen of the army cut wood in the surrounding mountains and forests, and soon built dozens of improvised trebuchets. Dien Bien did not have a city wall and occupied the surrounding hills. Condescendingly, the range is also longer than expected. One by one, terracotta jars filled with fire oil were removed from the wagons, loaded with fire-starters, and the flames were lit, and as the sergeants shouted the order, the soldiers cut the ropes that bound the trebuchets with all their might, and with an irresistible force of inertia, the pots flew high. Roaring past the light infantry standing at the front, and slammed into the Yueren walled city in the distance.

The fire spread quickly. The oil is specially refined. Flammable ingredients are added to it. One by one, the jars exploded on the Yueren bamboo tower, and the flowing fire oil turned into a flame devil in the city. Countless Yue people fled back and forth in the city, shouting and screaming in their mouths that people couldn't understand. The fire is fierce, and the fuel flows less than it goes. Many Yue people got water and wanted to extinguish the flames, but found that the flames that should have been extinguished when they encountered water on weekdays were completely beyond their own cognition. The more water is poured. Instead, they burn more and more. The terrifying black oil seems to have consciousness and is able to move freely. Somehow, they splattered from where the crockpot had landed, igniting everything around it that could burn, and making everything hot and red.

The whole world is occupied by flames. This is definitely not an exaggeration. It is a reality that every Yue person and every officer and soldier of the Xuanhuo Legion can see.

Hanyu Valley set fire and burned away tens of thousands of troops. Yang Tianhong has truly tasted the sweetness of science and technology warfare. The Xuanhuo Legion has a large amount of fire oil reserves, and special warehouses have been built in Anzhou, Caixian and Jiping to store fire oil. Before the battle on the side of Dien Bien began, Cao Hui organized the people and continuously transported a large number of military supplies from Anzhou. It's just that the trebuchet that can be disassembled has not yet arrived, so Yang Tianhong had to order the craftsmen of the army to make it simpler. Although the number is a little small, as far as the current situation is concerned, the effect is very good, and it also meets the requirements.

There was a strong smell of burnt paste wafting through the air. Yang Hu hurriedly took out the cotton mask issued by the General Logistics Administration, opened the kettle beside him, soaked the mask, and put it on his face.

A gas mask is the best item to deal with this situation. But with Yang Tianhong's current strength, it is impossible to get it out. The anti-smoke and anti-virus effects of the wet cloth mask are not bad. In this day and age, there is no mustard gas, and there are no horror things like phosgene that can kill people with just a little bit.

Yang Hu felt that Yue Ren was simply an idiot and stupid with a rusty mind, and he didn't even understand the truth of using sand to extinguish fire. He saw many fools covered in fire oil, wrapped in flames, screaming and running to the river, jumping into the water in desperation. But even so, the flames could not be extinguished. There are too many stupid and ignorant Yue people, too many to count. Soon, a blackened, stinking corpse floated on the surface of the river. Even when they were dead, the flames on their bodies were still there, and they burned vigorously.

The red flag on the Lord's side was unfurled, and it was waved three times in a row. This was the first offensive order. Yang Hu, who had already come down from the lookout, checked the weapon he was carrying for the last time, raised the long knife in his hand, and made a forward slashing motion. As a result, the whole team of soldiers, who had already been prepared, followed closely behind, and advanced step by step towards the city of Dien Bien, which was engulfed in flames.

Heavy infantry had set up a defensive line on the outskirts of the city. The sapper shovel is clearly not a product of this world, but it has not attracted the attention of others. The farmer's tools for working in the fields are similar in appearance to this thing, and at most they make people think that Yang Tianhong is not doing his job properly, and he is not a real nobleman.

Two trenches were dug along the city of Dien Bien. There is a lot of bamboo in the mountains and forests. The construction of the defensive line is actually a fence made of bamboo more than three meters high, which is carefully arranged along the top of the trench. Five thousand heavy infantry lined up behind the bamboo fence into a wall. They used the thick and sturdy shields in their hands to block all the lines of the Yue attack, and also tightly protected the 10,000 archers set up behind them.

The hoplites are the absolute main defensive force of the Xuanhuo Legion. From the very beginning, Yang Tianhong never thought about creating a comprehensive army that can be attacked and defended. Doing so would only lead the entire Xuanhuo Legion to the hell of death. Every country in the world has hoplites, and their weapons are equipped with no more than two kinds of weapons. One is a tall and sturdy heavy shield, and the other is a spear gun with a length of more than three meters. Thick and heavy armor was of course essential, and this special steel armor usually weighed around thirty kilograms, making it difficult to attack at close range, and even incapable of damaging hoplites. Of course, heavy weapons such as steel hammers and tomahawks are not included. Thick armor, while providing excellent protection for heavy infantry, was only for ordinary swords. If the opponent is strong enough and the weapon is heavy, it can also deal concussive damage to them. (To be continued.) )
