Chapter 2676: The virtue of living well is benevolence
Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted, with a hint of unbearable expression on her face: "I have long heard that the eight-stone running bull crossbow of Jin Dynasty is indestructible and can defeat countless enemies. But when I saw it today, it was so cruel, bloody, and dangerous.
Qian Tianhe and Liu Cheqi, it was not a decisive moment just now, is it necessary to use such a weapon?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "The reason why I ordered Tan Shao to use the Eight Ox Crossbow when the enemy charges is to clearly tell the black robe on the opposite side that the two wings are places where he does not have to hope for a breakthrough. Fire attacks are not advisable. Riding and shooting are not advisable."
If he can't defeat him, if he charges forcefully, I have eight oxen crossbows here, which are enough to kill thousands of his people in a matter of seconds, just like now."
As he spoke, he pointed at the left-wing vehicle formation in front. The second round of Eight Ox Crossbows had fired again. After the first round of shooting, the psychology of the Yan army had been completely shattered. A group of people including Yu Wenmeng had
More than a thousand of the most elite soldiers, with just one volley, were reduced to a large piece of minced meat within ten steps in front of the car formation, with almost no human form left. This made the nearly 10,000 soldiers who were following behind the charge give up any thought.
Instead of charging, they turned around and ran away. However, they were so hasty and too dense that everyone was crowded together, so densely packed that their backs were completely exposed to the Jin army.
More than a hundred broken branches flew out, and almost every branch could penetrate four to five Yan troops, stringing them together and nailing them to the ground. Thirty to fifty steps in front of the Jin army's chariot formation had already
Completely filled with blood mist, both the dead and the living were covered in blood. The screams and wailings of the injured were heard together, and the blood soaked every inch of the land, because of this large area of openness
The wound caused almost all the blood of each deceased person to drain out, far more blood than a small finger-sized wound caused by a knife or an arrow. Some people who were seriously injured but not dead were even soaked in a pool of blood like this.
They were choked to death, and the scene was horrific. Some people who fell to the ground were pushed and struggled to get up, but they were trampled by countless people. After a few twitches, they could no longer move.
Yu Yue shook his head in disbelief: "I'm afraid, even if these Yan troops who fled back are still alive, they will never dare to go to the battlefield again in this life. At least, if I were there, I'm afraid they would faint on the spot.
"
Wang Zhen'e said coldly: "In the art of war, the priority is to injure the enemy urgently. Inflicting maximum enemy casualties in the shortest time will not only benefit the battle situation, but also destroy the enemy's fighting spirit and make him collapse. This is the fire attack.
, flooding, traps, and the power of this kind of eight-oxen crossbow. Of course, if our car formation is breached and then attacked by the enemy with fire, then they will be trampled by their cavalry and they will be massacred.
The other side is our soldiers. Yu Shenjun does not need to show mercy or sympathy to the enemy. War is a cruel matter of life and death."
Yu Yue sighed: "Of course I understand this, but Her Royal Highness the Queen also said just now that such a brutal killing method, will You Qian Tianhe receive retribution in the future..."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Since Yongjia, Hu cavalry has roamed the world, killing and plundering countless Han people, including our Jin army, and they have also suffered greatly. If nothing else, let's talk about the Battle of Wuqiaoze, that is,
In a matter of seconds, the Yan army launched a black fire attack, and nearly ten thousand of my soldiers in Beifu were killed in the sea of fire, and most of them had no bones left. Isn’t this cruel and fierce, and is there no peace and harmony? Also, the last time I attacked Yecheng, Murong
Chui is repeating his old tricks again, and wants to launch black demonic fire in the whole city, killing all my army and the people in the city. These are all things I have personally experienced. May I ask where the reincarnation of heaven is?"
Wang Miaoyin sighed softly: "Liu Cheqi, could it be that Murong Chui's later experience of the Yan State was that during the Battle of Hebei, 70,000 soldiers were trapped and killed by the Wei army, and then the various princes fought for the throne. The seemingly powerful Hou Yan,
It fell apart in less than a year, and in the Battle of Baisi, tens of thousands of armored cavalry were also killed in the sea of fire. Isn't this just retribution for being unkind and unscrupulous?"
Liu Yu did not reply, his eyes were shining with light.
Liu Muzhi nodded: "What Her Royal Highness the Queen said makes sense. Tuoba Gui killed tens of thousands of Yan troops in Shenhebei. In the end, he ended up betraying his relatives and dying at the hands of his own son. It is also a kind of retribution. We
This time it's about criticizing the people. The victory or defeat of this left-wing battle has been decided. The enemy army has collapsed. Even if they escape, they will no longer be able to play a role in this battle. God has a good life, and this third party
It’s better to give up on the round of eight-oxen crossbow attack for now.”
Xiang Jing frowned: "There is no way to fight without killing the enemy. Her Royal Highness the Queen and Fat Chang Shi, this is not the time for women to be kind. Waiting for the enemy to flee back and reorganize may cause harm to our soldiers."
There were unnecessary casualties.”
Liu Yu curled up his lips and said: "Send the order to Tan Shao, stop shooting the Eight Ox Crossbows, seize the time to organize our vehicle formation, check the equipment, place the wounded soldiers, and give the enemy's seriously wounded soldiers in front of the vehicle formation a good time."
Xiang Jing's expression changed and he shouted: "Commander, you must not do this. We can obviously..."
Liu Yu said calmly: "The thousands of enemy troops who escaped have become discouraged and cannot fight again. The Yan army has more than 100,000 people in this battle. It doesn't matter whether they kill these thousands of people. Although the Eight Ox Crossbow is powerful, it can't fight again."
The broken spears are not as numerous as bows and arrows. I need to keep one round of flying spears to fight against the more fierce enemy attacks. Moreover, the purpose of this battle has been achieved. Now the black robe should also know that he wants to break through from both wings.
, it’s just wishful thinking. Next, I’m afraid he will change the direction of his attack.”
Having said this, Liu Yu paused: "The words of Her Royal Highness the Queen are also very reasonable. In this world, there may be God's will, and good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Think about the evil and crazy opponents we have encountered before,
Enemies, those who disregard the lives of soldiers and civilians, and kill in cold blood just for selfish desires, who will end up well? Our Northern Expedition, our past battles, are to protect our country and to liberate the people.
, rather than killing for the sake of killing. The officers and soldiers of the Yan army are also the people recruited into the army here in Nan Yan. After we destroy the tyrannical Nan Yan, they will also become the people of the Jin Dynasty. The wise kings in ancient times even opened the knowledge network.
On the one hand, if anyone is willing to take the bait, we don’t need to increase the number of meaningless killings.”
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "It's not easy for Liu Cheqi to still retain the benevolence and righteousness he had when he joined the army. On behalf of those who survived because of your order, I pay tribute to you. I believe that today, your men
Be merciful and you will surely get good results in the future."
Liu Yu looked at the Linqu City opposite, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Kill that big devil to end all this. I can let anyone go, but I will decide his life. The Jade Emperor will also save him."
