Chapter 731: Preferential Treatment For Captives
Even their own people were taken aback when they first saw the power and momentum of such a powerful weapon, let alone those unprepared enemies?
Naturally, he was so frightened that his mind was split apart, and his fear touched Tianwei.
And the range of the artillery is farther and more accurate than that of the bomber.
In addition, this kind of thing called a telescope is very useful, especially as the army goes deep into the grassland, when the line of sight of an open and flat land will not be blocked in any way, through the telescope, you can clearly see movements of the enemy.
Before the enemy reacts, order the artillery to adjust the angle in advance, and fire two rounds first.
This time the Firearms Department brought up not only artillery but also a small book with lines called formulas.
It is said that this object is used to deal with enemy cavalry. If the target moves too fast, the formula can be used to calculate where the enemy will end in a few breaths or dozens of breaths, so that the artillery can be adjusted in advance to start aiming.
The only trouble is that I don't know the exact speed of the barbarians, but that's okay, the approximate speed of the horses has been marked below, and there are five gears in total. At that time, the general of the army will be responsible for observing and estimating the distance of the horses. The value brought in is handed over to the general who specializes in commanding the artillery for calculation, and it is determined to fire the artillery after a few breaths.
But they don't need this formula written in a small book yet.
Because there are basically no horsemen in the enemy army now, even if there are a few, they cannot be called cavalry. The horses under the crotch have not been trained, and they have long been frightened and ran away.
This thing is used to deal with the rescued grassland army.
As for the only fly in the ointment, that is, there were not many cannons brought up, only thirteen of them.
I heard that it is not easy for the Firearms Administration to manufacture one of these things. It is only a small amount after removing the inventory of the Firearms Administration.
However, such brilliant results can be achieved with only thirteen cannons, what if there are ten or twenty times more?
At this moment, Zhao Hongyu was even thinking that if Chu State could have hundreds of such cannons, would Chu State be worried that it would not be able to realize the unification of the world?
What are the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains? Wouldn't it be possible to lay down a big territory by then?
Whether he cares about the grasslands, the Central Plains, the Western Regions or Dongying, don't they all belong to Chu State?
At that time, you can take the army and tell their king:
From now on, you don't have to pay tribute to our Central Plains anymore!
But there is no need to thank our Central Plains, because your place will soon be the Central Plains as well.
Zhao Hongyu stood on the watchtower, looked into the distance with binoculars, then waved his hand and said: "Order the artillery to stop, and the shield armor to advance together! If there are remnants of the enemy army, tell them that our country of Chu treats prisoners preferentially. Shoot or kill! Don’t hurt ordinary herdsmen, especially women on the grasslands! Anyone who thinks they are of a foreign race can do whatever they want, it happens that the palace still needs people!”
The lieutenant general was puzzled and said, "General, do you have to be so polite to foreigners?"
Zhao Hongyu asked: "Do you know what Wang Hua's way is?"
The lieutenant shook his head and said, "The humble officer has only read two military books, so I don't know much about it..."
Zhao Hongyu said: "If our country of Chu wants to completely control the grassland, we can't do anything to the people living on the grassland. Doing so will only cause them to rebel, educate and educate the people, frame the people with the law, and make them completely submit to our country of Chu. From now on, be proud of the glory of our country of Chu, and be ashamed of the shame of our country of Chu, so that the grassland can be regarded as completely incorporated into the territory of our country of Chu."
The lieutenant general sighed and said: "In the past when we fought against the Zhou Kingdom, the prince would not let us do anything. Now that we have finally fought against a foreign race, the prince still does not let us do anything. In fact, there is less and less blood staining, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will damage the killing momentum of our army in hand-to-hand combat."
Zhao Hongyu said, "Isn't there still a lot of nobles on the grassland? You can just pick them up and kill them?"
The lieutenant said pleasantly; "Kill these princes and don't care?"
Zhao Hongyu said, "If you want to kill a nobleman who often bullies men and women and oppresses common people, it's best to count his crimes in front of the people of the prairie before doing it."
The lieutenant immediately said: "Yes! I understand!"
Zhao Hongyu nodded and said, "It's good that you can understand, has the Khan of Wanyan Department noticed it?"
The lieutenant general said: "According to the time, the news should not reach him so quickly. At this time, the Grassland Khan is probably still fighting fiercely with Zhou Guo, so he has no time to care about it."
Zhao Hongyu said: "Remember to restrain these soldiers when you go down. Our country of Chu is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Don't let them cause any trouble, understand?"
The lieutenant immediately cupped fist and said: "This subordinate understands!"
After the lieutenant went down, Zhao Hongyu continued to use binoculars to watch the steppe infantry soldiers who were going to approach his army.
I have been fighting against the grassland for half my life, and this is the first time I have seen such an easy victory.
Counting the days, Wanyan Khan could receive the news of one day at most and bring his troops back here to help.
It is still necessary to save some artillery shells, after all, it is not easy to transport a batch.
It is impossible for the frontier garrison to produce this thing by themselves. Even if it costs money to transport it from the capital to here, it will not leak the production steps of shells and firearms in order to reduce costs.
Now shells and gunpowder can directly affect the outcome of a war.
At that time, if any frontier general has ambitions and wants to support himself, it will be troublesome.
This is a taboo!
...
After the armored soldiers of the Northern Army of Chu State Town rushed forward, they grabbed the lucky ones who survived the artillery fire like sheep.
Although they survived, they were frightened by the sound and power of the artillery, and each of them looked like a frightened bird.
Unable to speak, let alone resist, they came back to their senses after being locked up for a long time, and their eyes regained their brilliance.
Originally, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army had a grudge against accepting the surrendered prairie people as captives.
People who are not of our race must have a different mind.
It's fine for people from the grassland to treat captives preferentially, but why do these foreigners also treat them preferentially?
Until later, when they set up camp, they no longer needed to do it themselves, and these free laborers would set up the general camp under the supervision of the general's personal soldiers, and instantly felt that the captives were really a good thing.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu originally wondered if he could let these captives do more work, such as helping Lao Cook to cook for the soldiers.
Later, after thinking about whether they would spit in the dishes out of revenge, Zhao Hongyu dismissed the idea again.
