Chapter 453 Convergence slaves to establish authority
At the beginning, these gangsters fought against each other in a húnluàn. No one could walk out of the fighting circle with their heads. Often, they would be killed by others before they had even taken a few steps in the húnluàn after they had just collected two heads.
Slaughtering and cutting off the head is also a troublesome task. After all, not everyone has a sharp knife or sword.
But as time passed, bloodied Luan soldiers continued to run out of the Luan soldiers fighting with two bloody heads. They threw the heads of their former comrades in one place with relief, and were controlled by the Fire Dragon Army again.
Throwing the weapons in their hands somewhere else, they all stared blankly at the hellish battlefield, waiting for Chang Xiao to give up.
The area close to the foot of the mountain, which was not too wide, was piled with layers of corpses. When the last soldier dragging two heads climbed out of the mountain of corpses in exhaustion,
, a ray of warm sunshine happened to shine down from the eastern sky, shining on this pile of corpses, making the color of this bright red pile of corpses, all without heads, more and more gorgeous.
These Luàn soldiers who crawled out from the mountain of corpses should have preserved their lives, but there was no trace of joy on their faces. On the contrary, their expressions were dull, as if their souls had disappeared, and they were different from their comrades-in-arms from yesterday.
Such a cruel fight and killing completely numbed their hearts, and their whole people seemed to have turned into a piece of wood. However, when they saw Chang Xiao's armor stained red with blood, their hearts suddenly jumped.
, the original numbness will immediately turn into terror, which makes their eyes glow with the look of life again.
Chang Xiao's soldiers counted the numbers. Unfortunately, there were only 8,000 soldiers who survived and were not seriously injured after getting two heads. The rest were not lingering, breathing the last few breaths of air in their lives.
, has completely turned into a cold corpse.
When Chang Xiao thought about it, 8,000 men was still a bit too much. His Fire Dragon Army had to maintain a dense formation to maintain firepower and avoid being scattered. It was bound to be impossible for a formal soldier to enslave dozens of people like they did against bandits before.
A slave.
And in the past, the purpose of enslaving soldiers was to rush into battle, which was a real bloody battle, but now Changxiao's Fire Dragon Army no longer has to fight on the battlefield, and can basically kill the enemy by shooting from a certain distance.
, it used to be called fighting, but now it is just a simple massacre for them!
Therefore, in this case, these eight thousand soldiers not only cannot bring any combat effectiveness to the Fire Dragon Army, but will instead become an unstable factor and even weaken the Fire Dragon Army's firepower.
However, Chang Xiao had other plans. His Fire Dragon Army had no problem attacking the city. The city that others thought was solid and unbreakable was not a problem for him at all. However, the Qing army in the city was not a vegetarian either.
The city gate is not the only key to a battle, there are countless streets and alleys in the city, where are the real meat grinders!
Once more than a thousand Fire Dragon Army falls into street fighting, it will be very disadvantageous. The Fire Dragon Army's firepower advantage must rely on a certain spatial distance to be fully exerted. Once it enters street fighting, the Fire Dragon Army's firepower advantage will definitely disappear.
, so at this time, these eight thousand soldiers are needed to go up. Although the eight thousand soldiers are not too many compared to Huang Taiji's fifty thousand soldiers, if they face the enemy head-on, they will even be eaten by the powerful Qing soldiers.
.
But the huge firepower of these 8,000 soldiers plus the 1,000 Fire Dragon Army was enough to deal with the defeated army that broke through the city. Moreover, the 8,000 soldiers that Chang Xiao now had in his hands were all the toughest among the toughest soldiers.
Originally, the 40,000 soldiers who followed Li Zicheng out of the city were Li Zicheng's most dominant force carefully selected from among the 100,000 troops. After Chang Xiao filtered them from 40,000 to 8,000, it was equivalent to selecting the best from the best.
.
Chang Xiao looked at these lifeless and numb soldiers, and said calmly: "From now on, you are the slaves of my Fire Dragon Army soldiers. Every eight people follow one soldier. One of my Fire Dragon Army soldiers
The rules are that as long as you kill thirty enemy heads, you can get the status of a formal soldier. Of course, those are the rules for dealing with bandits. For those Tartar barbarians, you only need to kill three heads and you can escape.
If you become a slave, then you will be able to regain your freedom and become a member of my Fire Dragon Army warriors. And you will also own firearms and become the god of death on the battlefield! Either be a slave or a god-like warrior.
, you can make your own choice.”
Chang Xiao's words suddenly revived the hearts of these Luan soldiers, and the numb minds of these Luan soldiers suddenly became active. They are the bravest and most skilled group of soldiers in Dashun. It can be said that they were born.
They are warriors, but they were reincarnated in the wrong person. The previous ten or twenty years were wasted in the crop fields. In their bones, they admire strength and the unparalleled power of the Fire Dragon Army to crush everything, especially in this luàn
In this world, strength is the full strength of speaking, and strength is the possibility of living! If they had such a musket in their hands, they would really become the gods of death on the battlefield, as Chang Xiao said, and master the massacre.
The power is simply the power to dominate everything.
The eyes of these soldiers all lit up. Three heads could be exchanged for a musket. This was a good deal. Moreover, the Fire Dragon Army had given them too many shocks during this period. They never thought that they would also
They can become a member of the Fire Dragon Army, but now, the opportunity is placed in front of them. Maybe it won't be long before they can hold muskets and wear pitch black armor to shuttle among the Luàn Army as if there is no one else!
Some slaves also understood Chang Xiao's situation at this time. They killed two Tatars and took their heads in exchange for their own lives. Killing three more Tatars could exchange for a gun. It was obvious that Chang Xiao was here.
Nothing works except this head.
The one thousand Fire Dragon Army members were well aware of the following procedures, and each selected eight soldiers as slaves. There were still more than 300 soldiers left, so they were taken by Chang Xiao to serve as Chang Xiao's slaves.
The Fire Dragon Army were all experts at distributing slaves, and many of them had been slaves themselves, so they quickly distributed the slaves. At the same time, they also confiscated all the property in the hands of these slaves, turning them into destitute paupers again.
Xiao Xiao knows very well that only those hungry wolves with no way out can fight. These guys whose stomachs are full of wealth are just a group of sheep! Chang Xiao wants them to become wolves again, so naturally he will plunder them.
clean!
No matter how reluctant these slaves are, they dare not speak. After all, their first priority now is to save their lives, money, etc., forget it!
Chang Xiao's words became cold at this time and said: "If you join our army, those who disobey orders will be killed, those who stubbornly resist the orders of the master will be killed, and those who abscond will be killed. If your master dies, you will be buried with him! From now on!
From now on, any stragglers will be killed without mercy!"
Then Chang Xiao didn't wait for the slaves to fully digest these words, and showed a surprised look, and then he started chasing the horse.
Chang Xiao doesn’t need their brains to understand their own words. They only need their bodies to be clear. If they don’t understand now, it doesn’t matter. In the future, Chang Xiao will use real-life examples one by one to ask them to keep these in their hearts.
Go to the core!
Among these slaves, the first one to show off two heads had been resting for half an hour. Because he came out early during the massacre, his physical strength was less consumed. Therefore, his energy was strong at this moment. The last one emerged from the pile of corpses.
After crawling out of the mountain, he could only rest for less than a quarter of an hour. It was the time when he was dying of exhaustion, but Chang Xiao followed the elite route from beginning to end. At this time, he felt that these eight thousand people were still too many.
He didn't need useless slaves in his army, so he just happened to sift down a batch of slaves on the road, so that these slaves would know exactly where they were.
Chang Xiao's authority has been established on people's heads from beginning to end. This has been the case from the very beginning when he selected bandits as slaves. Of course, Chang Xiao himself also possesses incomparable power. Without this, Chang Xiao would not be able to
It is impossible to raise such an army.
Sure enough, there were slaves who couldn't hold on and fell behind from time to time. There were ten Fire Dragon Army soldiers at the end of the team. They basically fell behind a hundred meters away and must have been killed by a single shot.
But what disappoints Chang Xiao is that after killing more than twenty slaves, the remaining slaves didn't know where they got their strength, and they gritted their teeth and chased them all the way, and no one was left behind.
There are many slaves here who are obviously exhausted, but they are still rushing forward, for fear that if they fall behind, they will be shot!
Chang Xiao couldn't help but admire that people's potential is really endless. Chang Xiao also relied on them to fight in the city, so he didn't use all the power to avoid exhausting them all to death when they reached the capital.
Each of these slaves was extremely frightened. Chang Xiao's image changed again in their eyes, turning into a murderous demon king, a bastard, a beast, and an out-and-out evil person! But they admitted that they were afraid.
Such people, as long as they look at them with a smile, they will feel the trembling deep in their hearts!
Seeing that everything was on track and there was no need for him to continue to control it, Chang Xiao recruited Chang Fu and Chang You two, whispered a few words, and the two nodded repeatedly.
After finishing his instructions, Chang Xiao abandoned his horse and left. Chang Xiao was too lazy to accompany such a slow march. He still had many things to do, so there was no need to waste time on the back of this horse.
Killing these bandits is really not a skill in Chang Xiao's opinion. Next, Chang Xiao wants to tell those Tatars who set foot in the Central Plains to count them all and never be able to return home!
