Chapter 294: Breaking through Xiangchuan Castle (3)
The bushido spirit of the Toei people is a sharp double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can turn the tables in adversity and overturn more powerful enemies. If it is not used well, not even an elite samurai will survive. The spirit of bushido does not focus on choosing to surrender in desperation after a strong battle, but instead requires soldiers to die in the service of their families. I don't know if Dongying's labor cost is too low, usually two full meals, and even meat is rarely seen, so he deceived a group of dead soldiers.
The spirit of bushido is not omnipotent, although it can brainwash normal warriors into killing machines without fear of death, but it also depends on who the opponent is. In the Cold Weapon Age, this spirit is an extremely terrifying beneficial buff. In the era of thermal weapons, the effect of this spirit will constantly weaken, and with the development of thermal weapons at night, this weakening will become even stronger. The bushido spirit of the Toei people was determined to be useless during World War II.
Not to mention fighting against the Mi and Soviets behind, they were beaten into dogs by the torrent of Soviet armor, and their backbones were broken by the saturation blow of the Mi. It was in the Huaxia Continent that their weapons were still in a superior state, and they were still fully defeated after being held for eight years. The key lies in the spirit of bushido, which caused all veterans to die in battle, even adult men died in battle, and in the end, even children under the age of sixteen and old people over forty were forcibly recruited into the army.
If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been semi-colonized by the United States. For many years, I don't know how many Dongying women have been violated by soldiers of the United States, and it is not impossible to torture and kill. However, the weapons in the hands of the Xinghanhui warriors did not form an absolute suppression of the Dongying people. The Hall M1819 is much more powerful than the front-loading musket in all aspects, but it is not free from the limitations of being the original rear-loading rifle. Even if it is covered by the company, it can only be loaded with up to three rounds at the same time, and can only be reloaded after firing.
The only one that can be counted as automatic fire in front of it is the sparse box gun. A hundred samurai and two hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the alleys on Toei's bantam horses, and there was a little commotion among the soldiers of the Xinghan Society who had fought a formal battle for the first time. Wei Ming hurriedly commanded the troops to defend, but the haste did not cause much effect. The remaining more than 200 Dongying warriors on war horses broke into their camp like this. Fortunately, Wei Ming kept these fighters on their muskets just in case.
These soldiers, many of whom were outlaws of the Field Society, were panicked at first, but under Wei Ming's constant shouting, they immediately calmed down. Rushed into the array by the cavalry, escaping can only expose his back and die faster. Only by fighting back can we survive the attack of the cavalry. Besides, they are not without the power to resist. The steel helmet and steel plate body armor on the body are not easy to break through with the cold weapons of the Dongying people, and not everyone's katana is an artifact that has been painstakingly made by famous people to cut gold and break jade.
Especially the steel plate body armor, the outer cloth layer is also borrowed from a little stab-proof clothing technology, and the defense against assassination is also very strong. After being attacked by the Dongying people, some infantry were surprised to find that they had nothing to do, and they immediately calmed down, and even raised their Hall rifles that turned into spears in their hands to attack the Dongying people on their horses. Because it was a Xinghan society that mainly fought against cavalry-based enemies in the future, these Hall rifles were equipped with bayonets and the overall length reached two meters after the butt was pulled open.
At this length, it can deal with the Manchu cavalry riding Mongolian horses, not to mention that the war horses of the Dongying people are shorter than the Mongolian horses. There is a blood groove on the bayonet, and a piercing is a big hole, and the blood will not stop, and soon the enemy will lose its combat effectiveness. It's just that you can't beat the agile enemy cavalry, and it's no problem to hit the war horse with a larger target. The Dongying horse has not yet been reproduced by the Arabian horse in later generations, and its short body does not have any leather armor chain mail on its body, and if it is stabbed, it will also die slowly.
However, even if the soldiers slowly began to resist, these Dongying people had no intention of leaving. Yuu Mikami and Watanabe Hayato wear ancestral armor together and fight on the front line. At this time, they didn't plan to run away. If a battle is fought like this, even if they escape, they will be regarded as a disgrace by the main family, synonymous with incompetence, and it is already good to be ordered to apologize for their crimes, and they will not even affect their families.
Even if they used to be bad to their families, but at this time, they don't want their descendants to bear the shame with them. As Asians, under the influence of Huaxia, they are still very good for their sons. Therefore, they would rather die in battle here, at least they can be positioned as a tragic hero, and their families can still get some of the Lord's family pensions. Under the leadership of these two supreme commanders, these Dongying people are only concerned with slashing the enemy in front of them.
Under their mad dog-like attacks, the body armor on some of the fighters has been damaged on a large scale, and it will not take long to resist before they will be severely damaged and cut down by them. A soldier who was a bandit who had not had a helmet attached to it before because of the heat was cut off by Yuto Mikami, and then his head was cut off. Wei Ming didn't like these bandits' adapted warriors, and they didn't want to make progress one by one, so they knew that they would eat and wait for death, and they would be lazy if they could be lazy in training, and the rules in the association would not be followed.
Now that he has killed himself because of his cleverness, Wei Ming will not feel a little sad for him. Even, he has decided that in the future, he can't put all the bandits in the main force to train, at least those who are not hopeless, will become soldiers, or go to the third-line troops. The death of the first comrade in battle made the morale of the surrounding Xinghanhui soldiers drop a little, Wei Ming saw that it was not good, and hurriedly prepared to go into battle himself to prevent his fighters from collapsing.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed from behind, picked up the weapons in their hands, and fired at the Dongying people on their horses. The ferocious firepower caused all the cavalry to be beaten out of blood, and then poured down. When Wei Ming saw it, it turned out that the navy of the kingdom had come up with submachine guns and light machine guns to support. Wei Ming hurriedly shouted to the people around him, telling them not to accidentally injure friendly troops in a nervous situation. And the naval soldiers, who did not pay too much attention to them, gathered fire on the Dongying cavalry in groups.
Because the warriors of the Xinghan Society were infantry, no matter how short the horses of these cavalrymen were, their bodies would be easily exposed. As long as the muzzle of the gun was raised slightly, they were not worried about accidentally injuring the soldiers of the Xinghan Society. Slowly, these warriors approached within fifty meters of the Dongying cavalry, a distance at which the weapons in their hands could exert their full strength, and they did not need to exert their strength to control the muzzle of their guns to prevent bullets from splashing and injuring friendly soldiers.
Even if they are not regular land soldiers, the military literacy of these people is not comparable to the soldiers of the Xinghan Society. Lin Xin and the others learned the kingdom's military training methods, but without the kingdom's material conditions, they couldn't completely replicate it. It is already very good to be able to build such a Xinghan army. Although it was the first time on the official battlefield, he was stronger than the elite Green Battalion soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even compared with some degenerate Eight Banner soldiers.
With their help, the morale of the soldiers of the Xinghan Society was restored, and Wei Ming's command arrangements were also listened to by them. At this point, Dongying people can't turn the tables at all. As soon as the fighters regained their composure, and there was another experienced commander, they would be divided one by one, and then shot down and dismounted. Yuu Mikami and Hayato Watanabe wanted to die, but because of their gorgeous armor that distinguished them from the others, they were considered worthy targets by the warriors, and a group of people pounced on them and crushed the two who had died on their horses and captured them.
The naval leader brought Cameron's request, and Wei Ming didn't care about training slowly. On the battlefield, all of a sudden, the words of "surrender and don't kill!" rang out everywhere. All the fighters learned this phrase specifically after planning it, and now it is just right to say it. The samurai and cavalrymen died, the captured were captured, and the ashigaru lost their spiritual support at once. Most of these were forcibly conscripted into the army and completely lost the will to fight.
The sound of surrender without killing sounded, and these people began to lay down their weapons and kneel on the ground, waiting for their next fate with a weak heart. Wei Ming would not kill these people, how could they also be adult men, and selling them to the kingdom would also be a large amount of income. They were all brought together in one area, leaving five hundred people to guard, and the remaining soldiers began to suppress Aikawa Castle. Some opportunists took advantage of their attack and began to riot, and many merchants were robbed by them.
Wei Ming himself was embarrassed to directly plunder, and someone did it for them. As long as these rebellious Dongying people are exterminated, a large amount of wealth can be harvested. Some of the bitter masters were killed by them, and the property accumulated over a lifetime completely went into the pocket of the Xinghan Society. And the bitter master is still alive, Wei Ming also returned half of it, and the rest prevaricated because they didn't have time to recover it. Anyway, they only have weapons in their hands, and the black and white are all defined by them, and these people don't dare to question it.
If they can get half of what they lose, they won't go bankrupt. Wei Ming and the others quickly eliminated the rebels, and the warriors began to take over the city's defenses. As long as they don't storm people's houses, burn and loot, they won't encounter much hostility. This is the case with the Dongying people, who have acquiesced in their ruling power since they defeated the defenders here at a very small cost. Wei Ming also learned the kingdom's means of appeasing people's hearts, and began to quickly enter the state of government officials.
