Chapter 96 Retiring After Success (The Finale)
But at this time, the Khitan warriors were already red-eyed. They saw countless compatriots falling in a pool of blood. They didn't know what kind of magic the enemy used, but they would not let the athletes on the grassland die in vain. They wanted to
Use more people to tear the enemy apart.
The number of Liang Jun was obviously less than a quarter of theirs, so they stubbornly believed that they could tear Liang Jun to pieces with the help of human sea tactics, so these Khitan athletes who had just joined Yelu Abaoji couldn't wait until they heard the clarion call for the general attack.
When they charged forward, they had almost no formation. The Khitans on the grassland had not received any systematic training at all. They just used the speed and superb riding skills of the cavalry to ensure victory in the battle.
They have been unfavorable in previous battles, but this time they did not defeat the enemy in one fell swoop as before. On the contrary, their dense manpower just created convenient conditions for the enemy's fire coverage. Rows of howitzers were deployed in the air.
There were explosions in the dense Khitan army, and every anti-personnel bomb would cause huge casualties to the Khitan cavalry.
Today's Zhenyuan General Zhu Zhen has dozens of howitzers in his hands. The power they can exert in field battles when fired in turn is really huge, even far beyond Zhu Zhen's expectation. They are like mountains of corpses and rivers.
of blood, all of this was so unreal, as if it were a dream. Zhu Zhen watched thousands of Khitan cavalry shattered under artillery fire and died tragically under the shrapnel. At this time, he really felt that the war was
The concept is no longer as complicated as before. No matter how elite the army is, no matter how large the number of people is, it is just cannon fodder in front of such cannons and muskets.
He heard the word "cannon fodder" from his third brother who was the emperor a month ago. It turned out that he didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "cannon fodder", but now he understood that the word was so appropriate.
This was a massacre, a spectacular massacre. Two hundred thousand people took the initiative to rush towards the dense artillery fire and served as cannon fodder without any hesitation. Perhaps you can say that the people on their grasslands are ignorant. You can say that the people on their grasslands are ignorant.
Although they have strong roots, this kind of cohesion on their grasslands is something that the Central Plains does not have.
Although various tribes on the grassland also conquered and annexed each other, they showed amazing cohesion when encountering foreign enemies, unlike those in the Central Plains who always like to rebel, and many even like to
They did not hesitate to use foreign captives to achieve their own goals, even if they had to betray the interests of the entire Central Plains. For example, Shi Jingtang who later ceded the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitan, Wu Sangui in the late Ming Dynasty, Wang Jingwei in the Republic of China... they all
They are scum among the Han people, and they intend to give the Han people's great country to foreigners. In order to achieve their goals, they do not hesitate to put the lives and deaths of millions of people at risk.
Although Zhu Zhen didn't know who the Shi Jingtang and Wu Sangui that the third brother told him were, he knew clearly that what the third brother feared most was the invasion of foreign invaders, and what he hated the most were those who lured foreign invaders into the Central Plains.
, it seems that the few people mentioned by the third brother are the ones who lured the foreigners into the Central Plains, and even assigned the territory of the Central Plains to the foreigners. Of course, it is not an exaggeration to kill such people with a thousand cuts.
Of course, when facing these foreigners who coveted the Central Plains, Zhu Zhen was very clear about the harm caused by Li Keyong's evil deeds of plundering near Daizhou, so he would never allow Li Keyong to
Ke Yong and Yelu Abaoji once again looted the Central Plains. The Central Plains had just settled down and needed to recuperate. If it was looted again, it would be a devastating disaster for the people.
When Zhu Zhen left Bianliang, Zhu Wen once told him that he must not have the slightest contempt for the foreigners, let alone the slightest kindness. If you are kind to them, you will be cruel to your own people, those uncivilized people.
The nation will turn the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains into their pastures, destroy all advanced things, snatch away everything that can be snatched away, and burn what cannot be taken away. Just thinking about that kind of result is unacceptable
, so Zhu Zhen will never show any mercy. Although Zhu Zhen's artillery is now suppressing the enemy's cavalry team, he still does not dare to be careless.
Zhu Zhen is not a person who likes killing, but as a military commander, he must protect his people from being invaded by foreigners, so he knows that killing is also a kind of protection. If you don't kill them, they will think you are weak and worthless.
bully.
A large number of cavalry were killed in the artillery fire. Those small groups of cavalry broke through the range of the artillery fire. Before they could celebrate their luck, they were shot to death by the dozens of Gatling machine guns. Many of them were covered with dense bullets.
hole.
The war has lasted for nearly an hour, and Liang Jun has not lost a single soldier. However, the Khitan cavalry and Li Keyong's coalition forces have suffered no less than 30,000 casualties. Even Li Keyong's adopted son Li Siyuan suffered serious injuries.
He was seriously injured and dying. One of his legs was blown away. He had several shrapnel cuts on his body, and the bones were visible. Even if he could survive by chance, he might never have the chance to go to the battlefield in this life. The other two adopted sons, Li Cunzhen and Li Sizhao,
He was killed on the spot. Li Siyuan's adopted son Li Congke was blown up beyond recognition by the shell in order to save Li Siyuan and died on the spot.
The cavalry team under Yelu Abaoji suffered even more heavy casualties, and many tribes' armies were almost wiped out. However, thousands of people still rushed forward risking their lives, because the red-eyed Li Keyong shouted loudly:
"Liang Jun's ammunition is about to run out. We must not stop and give them a chance to breathe. As long as we persist until their ammunition runs out, it will be their doom."
But Zhu Zhen didn't have the slightest worry, because he brought enough ammunition to wipe out the two hundred thousand troops, but he knew that the enemy's attack would not last long, as long as the enemy's elite troops were lost.
After a while, the enemy troops will withdraw without any suspense, because once they know that they cannot win, they will definitely choose to flee. This is also the reason why the peoples on the grasslands are rarely driven out to death. When they are not strong enough, they will
Choosing to escape, their excellent riding skills and long-term ability to make a living on horseback gave them sufficient ability to protect themselves on the grassland.
Sure enough, as Zhu Zhen expected, when nearly half of the Khitan cavalry suffered casualties, Yelu Abaoji decisively blew the retreat horn and gathered the remaining Khitan troops. Many of the red-eyed Khitan people ignored their
The emperor's order to retreat was still directed towards the intensive artillery fire and the flaming machine gun muzzles. Captain Yelu Abao sighed and decisively withdrew from the battlefield one after another with his men.
After General Xue Zhiqin died in the battle, Li Keyong had to withdraw decisively. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice because the enemy's artillery showed him that his troops had no chance of winning, and he would not be able to win in the future.
If we defeat our opponent again, if we don't withdraw our troops now, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to escape in the future.
Zhu Zhen only gave a symbolic pursuit. He did not want to kill all the enemies, because this was what Zhu Wen wanted. He just wanted to drive them away. Zhu Zhen knew clearly that this battle had killed all the enemy's elite troops.
It also reduced the courage of the soldiers of the Khitan and Shatuo clans. In the future, when they see the flag of Daliang, they will turn around and flee. This is what Zhu Wen wants. Since the effect has been achieved, why bother to drive all the enemies away?
Woolen cloth?
The responsibility of a military commander is to protect the people of a place from the intrusion of foreigners and bandits, not to kill indiscriminately. Killing can only bring hatred, but cannot solve any problems. Now that Zhu Wen can't even manage his own territory, how can he be in the mood to occupy others?
Territory?
He just wants the nomads in Liaodong to surrender to the Central Plains, and promise to pay tribute to the Central Plains like the Bohai Kingdom, and pay a certain amount of taxes, so that they can have a high degree of autonomy. This is also the best solution to avoid riots.
Da Weiying, the king of the Bohai Kingdom, requested to be removed from the title of king, and took the initiative to take the official position appointed to him by the Central Plains as the governor of Huhan Prefecture. He was still called the Bohai County King, but he was no longer the King of the Bohai Sea. The king and the county king were
The difference in words is thousands of miles apart.
Yelu Abaoji also retreated to the north of the Greater Khingan Mountains, moved his people to the more desolate and cold Siberia, and conquered the indigenous Tatars, Kazakhs, Ukrainians and other ethnic groups there. Although the weather there was cold, the land was very
Fertile Yelu Abaoji established a new country there with the help of his queen Shuluping, extending the territory to the vicinity of the North Sea...
However, Li Keyong withdrew his cavalry to the far west until he arrived near the Black Sea. There, with the last 20,000 remaining soldiers in his hand, he defeated the Roman Byzantine Empire and occupied Constantine.
Fortress, cut the king of the Byzantine Empire into two parts with a saber, ruled most of the area north of the Mediterranean Sea and south of the Black Sea, and then expanded everywhere, gradually becoming a powerful country in the West - Turkey.
After the people of the Central Plains gradually recovered and recuperated, Zhu Wen gradually moved people from densely populated areas to Liaodong. There was a large amount of fertile land in Liaodong, where relatively poor people and some criminals could go to open up wasteland and farm fields.
, gradually transformed Liaodong from a desolate grassland into a fertile granary. The national boundary of the Liang Dynasty was drawn to the north of the Xing'an Mountains, and the northeastern region, including Sakhalin Island, was completely controlled by Zhu Wen.
Japanese envoys also couldn't wait to come to the Central Plains for trade. What surprised Zhu Wen was that the envoy turned out to be Yamaguchi Meiquan, Yamaguchi Meizi's brother. Therefore, the trade activities between Japan and the Liang Dynasty became more frequent.
A few years later, Zhu Wen moved the capital to Youzhou and called Youzhou City Beijing.
After that, the world was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Zhu Wen simply passed the throne to his eldest son Zhu Youyu and devoted himself to martial arts. Later, several of his wives died of illness. Zhu Wen simply traveled around the world. Later, he enlightened in Huashan and finally broke through the Hunyuan Wuji Mental Technique.
At the ninth level of the realm, he suddenly felt like he had entered another world. He knew that he had become a master of the innate realm and could even rejuvenate his youth and greatly increase his life span.
A few years later, Lu Dongbin also came to Huashan and fought against Zhu Wen. The two men fought for three days and three nights with no outcome. The two immediately became good friends. Zhu Wen didn't want people to know his real name, so he called himself
"Fuyaozi", later someone said his name was Chen Tuan.
It is said that the ancestor Chen Tuan slept for eight hundred years and was still in good spirits when he woke up. Some people said that he had already attained Taoism and became an immortal, and did not eat grains in the world...
