Chapter 63 Victory

The generals of the tent are worried about arrows. There are only more than two million arrows saved in the southwest for thirty years. It sounds like a lot. If you really fight, you can shoot light in a few days.

300,000 arrows a day? How can it be fooled? They are all long-time generals in the army. How can they build arrow clusters be clear? They can't imagine how the daily output of 300,000 arrows was produced.

Renault did it for three days and didn't want to do it anymore. This work was too boring. Seeing others busy, he just looked at the data of God of Wealth and increased the carbon content a little. As for those who had exceeded the carbon content, he really gave up. He hadn't thought of a way to reduce carbon.

Even so, with the continuous investment of manpower, the output in three days has reached 1.5 million arrow clusters, and the human sand turbines have also increased to 300 units, which is not enough. Casting and forging are incomparable.

In fact, Renault also knew that the arrow clusters cast in this way were quite scammers. The iron ingots should be refined into steel ingots first, and then the forging process was carried out before the arrow was cast. Isn’t this a problem? Besides, even if the process is simplified, the products produced are far better than those manufactured by Dachu.

In Renault's eyes, the Dachu Manufacturing can be directly classified as garbage, and no one can pick it up if it throws it away.

"I said Sun Lei, it's almost enough. Today, there will be more than two million arrow clusters in one day." Renault was really annoyed.

Sun Lei was even more obedient than Sun Zi in front of Renault, and he didn't say anything without saying goodbye: "Sir, please help more and cast more arrows, and maybe one less person will die in the sergeant ahead."

Look at what you said, it seems that Renault became a murderer if he didn't help with his work. This made Renault, who was eating and drinking for free, didn't know how to refute it.

You said that so many arrows are tiring to shoot. Renault has tried it. The crossbows here are very hard, and it will be exhausting to shoot continuously.

This is not a bow and arrow in the gym, it is for sports, it is for murder.

"Sir, why not pass on the smelting technology to us? If we learn it, there is no need for the hard work of Mr. Sun Lei is quite shameless, so he is embarrassed to say this?

Renault really wants to teach...

He won't!

Shaking his head, "Sun Lei, it's not that I don't teach, it's that you can't learn it. I looked at Tiexue and knew what was missing. Can you tell me?"

In fact, Sun Lei was just a temptation. He had been with Renault for the past three days. He couldn't understand how Renault judged. There was no trace. Perhaps this was the magical art of the secret master, how could mortals learn it?

The result of the test is indeed like this. It’s not that the teacher doesn’t teach it or that he can’t learn it!

"Sir, the decisive battle has begun. All the ambush troops have arrived. The 200,000 trapped beasts of the barbarians are still fighting. The death is right in front of you. Please help me to work hard for a few more days." Sun Lei saluted repeatedly.

In this decisive battle, General Zhu... openly...

The command of the entire army to fire bows and crossbows at the same time, scatter freely, and shoot as much as possible. The Southwest Desert Legion has never lived so generously, and even if life is too long, there is no such way of fighting.

On the first day of the decisive battle, 350,000 arrows were consumed, 700,000 arrows were consumed on the second day, and 650,000 on the third day.

This is to flood the barbarians with arrow rain. It is said that on the battlefield, arrow branches are like forests and fall like rain. After three days, I don’t know how much the barbarians have lost, but the desert legion battle is less than 3,000.

This kind of decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, with less than three thousand losses, even General Zhu could not believe it. Several counts were counted, and this was the loss.

People lose less and arrows consume a lot. That's really open to shoot arrows. When you're tired of shooting, you'll replace people. You shoot in batches one by one, and keep shooting day and night. The soldiers of the Desert Legion were all crazy.

This battle was unique. It was a siege battle, fighting the ambush of the barbarians, and the cavalry formation was not used. The desert legion used crossbows to open the way, compressing the barbarians' space step by step.

The armor of the Desert Legion is better than that of the barbarians, especially the armor. The difference is not a little bit, and the result of shooting is naturally that the Dingxi Army takes advantage.

"Okay, then I'll be busy for a few more days. If you have time, please help me tell the general and end the battle quickly." Renault said helplessly.

Since he had toilet paper, Renault has not been easily angry. He not only looked at the carbon content of molten iron, but also took care of the pair of Tianpeng eggs.

As for manganese steel, chromium steel, etc., he no longer cared about it. He could only ask a few questions every two days. When he was idle, he held paper and pen and thought hard, and prepared to design a set of armor by himself. He was not interested in weapons, so the armor must be good.

The armor of Dachu is designed so extensively, with gaps everywhere. Such armor is useful. When encountering a sharpshooter, no matter how good the armor material is, it can easily kill you.

In the next two days, Renault continued to guide the casting of arrows.

In the evening, just after a furnace was cast, a tsunami-like cheer came from a distance.

Win, Da Chu won, Dingxi Desert Legion won, and the barbarians surrendered!

This is the strangest war in the history of Great Chu. It took forty days from the discovery of the barbarian army to the end of the war. The real decisive battle was only six days and five nights, which was shorter than any war with more than one hundred thousand people.

This is just the feeling of ordinary people. When it comes to Zhu Chongjiu's level, the information received dozens of times more than that of ordinary people, and the cognition is completely different.

If the calculation starts from the attack of the Ninth Princess, the time will be extended for fifteen days. If the calculation starts from the assassination of his eldest son Zhu Fu, the time will be extended for twenty-five days.

Even, it may be necessary to continue to push forward for a few months, or longer.

This war started with a conspiracy and ended up like a farce, and all of this seemed to be related to the secret master in the General's mansion. If he had not appeared suddenly, even General Zhu could not judge. If he had thought about it carefully, he would be terrified.

Zhu Fu died, the Ninth Princess was robbed, Zhu Chongjiu was seriously injured or died, Lu Fei rebelled, forty-eight countries occupied Dingjun City, and even... were rebelling elsewhere?

There is no way to confirm these. At least from the recent letter from Feiyan sent back from Da Chu, the ancient wells in Da Chu are not rippling, and even those who originally jumped fiercely have become very calm.

"General, the battle report has been counted." Yang Feng walked into the tent and said.

"My dear." Zhu Chongjiu was a little confused, and his mind was full of Renault's figure and the flying bull god armor.

"This battle lasted for 41 days and there were three battlefields. The main battlefield was fifty miles west of Dingjun City. The second battlefield was Qiandingburg in the south and Mangniu Castle in the north. This battle killed more than 86,000 enemies, more than 113,000 prisoners, and less than 40,000 escaped."

"Well, continue." The victory was undoubtedly a great victory that shocked the past and the present, but General Zhu was not excited. The enemy's marching maps, supply maps, and formation maps were all in his hands. If this is the case, he could not win, Zhu Chongjiu thought it would be better to commit suicide directly. Not to mention that he was commanded by Zhu Chongjiu, with this information, no matter how Tiger General was commanded by him, it would be impossible to lose.

The difference is just the price of victory and the harvest, so Zhu Chongjiu couldn't be happy.

"Our army suffered a total of 13,800 casualties, of which 4,600 were killed."

It was indeed a great victory. He killed nearly 200,000 prisoners and suffered only 10,000 casualties. This was a 20-1 victory. Looking through history books, I am afraid that I can't find a few such victories.

But... Zhu Chongjiu still couldn't be happy. He looked at his orders over and over again, and always felt that such casualties were unacceptable.

Especially after the order to shoot with all your strength without restricting the crossbow, six days later, the Dingxi Desert Legion shot out five million arrows, five million...

How many people are there in the Plateau Barbarians? There are less than 250,000 people. After an average share, each person can get twenty arrows...

Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. When recording history, this war was probably not because of a great victory or a war loss ratio between the enemy and us, but because of the unprecedented five million arrows.

The Eight Legions of the Great Chu and the Desert Legions are not the ones who prepare the most arrows, nor are they the least ones. After a battle, the other seven generals will probably be jealous.

Five million arrows, perhaps only the Yulin Legion controlled by His Majesty has such reserves and can shoot them all in one battle.

Four thousand and six hundred people died in battle, not too few, but too many, which made Zhu Chongjiu a little unbearable. This was his incompetence.

In fact, we cannot blame General Zhu all, after all, the change of thought is the most difficult. Even if we have all the enemy's intelligence in advance, lure the enemy into depth, and siege it, no matter how correct the strategy and tactics are, the final victory will still depend on the soldiers of Da Chu to kill with one sword and one halberd.

Before the decisive battle, General Zhu thought that if he could achieve 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 is twenty-to-one, he felt... it was so uncomfortable.

The key is the arrows. Who has ever heard of the unlimited arrows? Not to mention the commanders of the Eight Legions, even if His Majesty the Great Chu commander in person, it would not be possible to issue such an order.

"General, this is a great victory." Yang Feng's consideration was obviously not as good as Zhu Chongjiugao. In his opinion, such a great victory was the first time in history of the Great Chu, including the founding Taizu, who had never been able to win.

"What are you busy with sir?" Zhu Chongjiu didn't respond at all, feeling uncomfortable.

"Sir, I heard that Dasheng was the one who took people out of the city." Yang Feng said.

Zhu Chongjiu rubbed his temples: "Sir, can the guards beside him be comprehensive?"

Although no one dared to attack the secret master, the teacher never admits that he is the secret master. This is a loophole that is not a loophole. Zhu Chongjiu has to be careful. If something happens to the teacher, Zhu Chongjiu is a sinner, and no matter how great the contribution is, it will be invincible.

To be honest, as a general, Zhu Chongjiu has a limited understanding of the secret master. He has heard various rumors before, but rumors are just rumors after all, and they are easily mythological.

But this time, he personally experienced the magic of the Secret Master, and naturally understood that no matter how much he respects, protects, or worships the Secret Master, he even felt that he had done too little.

"Don't worry, General, there are five hundred feather forests and five thousand deserts around the sir. Now, there is nothing but some broken barbarians." Yang Feng said confidently.
