Many people think that apart from the endless tundra, Tibet only has snow-capped mountains.
This is actually a misunderstanding. At least in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, the warm and humid air flow from the Indian Ocean to the north is blocked by the mountains. As a result, this area has abundant rainfall, a mild climate, and is covered with grasslands and forests.
This contrast of completely different landforms and scenery is very obvious in Yadong. With Zhuomulari Snow Mountain as the boundary, the natural landscape of the entire Yadong region is completely different.
The soldiers of the second echelon of the British army knew this very well. The green grass before crossing the snow-capped mountains made the gray lichen everywhere after crossing the snow-capped mountains look particularly desolate.
From soldiers to officers, they all had doubts: What are we doing occupying such a place? The world is so big, and there are so many fertile lands waiting for the empire to conquer, why does Her Majesty the Queen insist on attacking this inhospitable place?
This doubt, together with the altitude sickness that spread among the troops after crossing the Zhuomulari Snow Mountain, seriously threatened the morale of the British army. The carcasses of cattle and sheep that were burned by the vanguard and then dumped on the roadside further increased the risk.
This aggravated the soldiers' uneasiness.
The officers are all worried, especially judging from the current situation, the battle on the front line is not going well, and it does not look easy to win this war.
To be on the safe side, many officers wrote letters to their families after crossing the snow-capped mountains, preparing to hand them over to the returning supply teams to take back to the rear.
But no one expected that bad luck would come so quickly.
On December 22, 1903, a signal flare trailed thick smoke into the sky.
The experienced officer immediately identified the type of flare and realized that it meant "the goddess is coming from the air."
So almost the same command was shouted from the mouths of hundreds of officers wearing brochures: "Disperse, load up and use rune bullets against Shen Ji!"
As if deliberately echoing the British officer's command, a firework exploded in the blue sky in the distance, and the red spiral pattern of the Firebird temporarily overshadowed the brilliance of the sun.
It was a gorgeous fireworks made by ancient techniques that no British citizen had ever seen. Many British soldiers even temporarily forgot about the training they had received, standing on the dry tundra dirt road and looking up at the coat of arms composed of red sparks.
Until the officers spoke to remind them how serious the situation was at this time: "Move quickly! The goddess is coming!"
The general army is not helpless when facing Shen Ji. The first thing is to spread out as much as possible, because Shen Ji cannot attack individual soldiers with long-range weapons that consume very mental energy. Therefore, Shen Ji mostly uses sticks when massacring ordinary troops.
The ground machine uses progressive weapons to attack. This gave birth to the standard action of ordinary troops when facing Shen Ji: disperse. This will greatly reduce Shen Ji's killing efficiency, and Shen Ji will not do it in order to save mental energy.
How much time is spent on the troops that have completely dispersed.
Because of this, there have been cases in history where Shenji and cavalry units fought together. When the infantry faced the cavalry, they needed to unite and form a square formation. At this time, Shenji was used to break into Kaiwushuang.
In addition to these special battle cases, when using Shenji to attack conventional troops, they usually choose situations where the target is difficult to disperse, such as a sudden attack on a moving dense queue, or an attack on a well-defended fortress or position.
etc.
In modern times, with the great development of force-guiding technology, the task of massacring conventional troops has fallen more to the generals whose ability to continue fighting is much stronger than that of Shen Ji. Shen Ji's deterrent effect on ordinary troops is only reflected in "
"Hard to be defeated". As long as Shen Ji is determined to massacre the ordinary troops, almost no one can stop her. All the ordinary troops can do is to use the scattered formation and the few rune ammunition in their hands to kill as much as possible.
Consuming the precious mental power of the goddess - in other words, using your own flesh and blood to slow down and exhaust the opponent's goddess...
But that situation often occurs when one party has a goddess and the other party does not.
"Don't worry!" Because of this, veteran officers who have experienced wars such as Afghanistan are already comforting their frightened subordinates, "Their target should be the baggage train, and they won't be interested in you trembling recruits.
"
"But..." one of the recruits said tremblingly, "What if they are also equipped with machine guns like the Royal Knights?"
"Idiot, as long as you lower your head, the machine gun can't hit you... Oh my God, what is that?"
The roaring Chinese goddesses wore equipment that even veterans had never seen before, and the arcs surrounding their armor gave everyone a bad premonition.
The first Shen Ji landed directly at the front of the scattered British army array, blocking her body with a shield with the words "positive - A" written on it, followed by another shield with the words "negative - A" written on it.
Meishenji fell directly into the British Army Group.
The huge electric arc penetrated the air, generating a large amount of ozone molecules in an instant, which made the British soldiers around the arc smell an indescribable but undoubtedly pleasant smell at the same time.
The smell was then replaced by the stench of burning flesh.
Shenji holding the positive electrode began to move close to the ground, and the electric arc swept across the ninety-degree fan in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the screams, the morale of the British army began to collapse. The soldiers who were lying on the ground jumped up one after another, frantically escaping from the approaching lightning.
At this moment, the second set of electrodes inserted into the British army's queue.
For a moment, the tundra echoed with screams and the crackle of exploding ammunition, and an unpleasant burnt smell filled the entire sky.
The massacre ended quickly, and except for a few lucky people, only the dead and those who were about to die were left on the entire tundra.
After completing the attack, the Chinese Goddess didn't even clean up the battlefield, she just took off and left.
Facing the purgatory-like scene in front of him, a military chaplain who survived the disaster expressed his mood in a concise and concise manner: "Devil, the devil who controls thunder and lightning!"
**
Perhaps the scene was too bloody, so Josephine put down the telescope halfway through.
"There is no glory at all. In the future, Shen Ji will change from a noble knight, a glorious warrior and a symbol of the beauty of the battlefield to a synonym for killing machines. In the past, as long as Shen Ji existed, war would still have beauty and romance.
On the other hand, from now on, it will be nothing but ugliness and cruelty."
"That's its true appearance, isn't it?" Lin Youde calmly faced his wife's sigh.
Josephine was silent for a while, then sighed: "That's right. Although I want to argue a few words, but yes, this is what it really looks like. Even I have killed those who had no power to resist.
The enemy's hands are stained with blood. No matter how we disguise it, we are synonymous with killing, but we are not as straightforward as we are now."
At this time, Nie Xueqiu also put down the telescope.
"Weak man, why do you have to fight?"
Nie Xueqiu's words shocked Lin Youde.
Damn it, what's going on? Zhang Wufei's famous saying came out right now? But then again, Nie Xueqiu, the younger sister, does feel a bit like a middle school student.
"Xueqiu, five years ago, we were also weak." Lin Youde said to his sister.
Nie Xueqiu's face flushed red and she looked extremely embarrassed.
"I...I didn't mean that..."
"Arrogance will lead to failure."
As he spoke, Lin Youde reached out and touched his sister's head. Although the girl pouted, she still lowered her head obediently.
Josephine looked at Nie Xueqiu's side face and quietly pushed Lin Youde, which meant "you said it too harshly."
Lin Youde shrugged...
Then Josephine said: "Speaking of which, I don't quite understand why you need to cut off the opponent's supply line first. If the purpose is to annihilate the opponent's Shenji troops, wouldn't it be enough to directly attack the main force of the British army near Gyantse?"
"If that's the case, what kind of situation will happen in the UK?" Lin Youde asked his wife with a smile, "It is impossible for this kind of annihilation war to kill people? After suffering such losses, will the UK just let China go? The British Empire will rely on the whole country to
If the force comes, we can't stop it."
"So?" It seemed that Josephine still didn't quite understand.
So Lin Youde continued to explain: "If we raid the supply line like this, where will the British mobilize Shenji for defense? The Shenji on the front line must not be moved to ensure the suppression and deterrence of Zang's army, and the British Shenji stationed in India
The number has been greatly reduced due to this invasion of Tibet, and it is impossible to recruit the British goddess..."
"So they will recruit the Gurkhas." At this time, Josephine finally understood.
In 1857, an anti-British uprising occurred in India. At that time, the British adopted a policy of differentiation and appeasement towards the revolting Indians. After the uprising was suppressed, the Nepalese and old Mughal aristocrats who supported the British authorities at that time received preferential treatment, and they received and colonial
The relatively equal status of the authorities has become a tool for the strategy of "colonizing the locals with the locals". As a side benefit, among the Indian baby girls who are discovered to have the ancestry of the Goddess, those born as Brahmins and Kshatriyas will be kept in India and raised by the locals.
He was raised by the powerful and formed the Gurkhas as a supplement to the British colonial armed forces.
Those goddesses born in lower caste groups will be raised by the British government.
Miraculously, since this strategy was launched, a large number of new goddesses born in India are concentrated in the Brahmin and Kshatriya groups, so the Gurkhas' combat effectiveness is quite good.
Sending the Gurkhas could, on the one hand, ensure the stability of British rule in India, and on the other hand, it could use Lin Youde's help to weaken the power of the local wealthy families. There was no reason for the British not to do this.
If Lin Youde annihilated the Gurkhas who came to support them, then Britain would naturally clearly realize that the Second Royal Knights who entered Tibet were in a very dangerous situation.
If Lin Youde comes up and kills the Royal Knights in front of you, Britain may be at odds with you, but if the ladies of the Royal Knights are only in danger, then even Britain's first consideration should be to rescue them.
This precious fighting force.
This is Lin Youde's wishful thinking.
Josephine, who had completely grasped her husband's thoughts, looked at her husband, the expression on her face was very indescribable.
After a moment, she shook her head.
"I have always believed that the Byzantine palace conspiracy has brought human cunning to the extreme, but compared with the cunning of you Chinese, it really pales into insignificance."
Lin Youde laughed and said: "We have been infighting for four thousand years, don't underestimate this accumulation."
