Chapter 33: Swear to Death
Fierce battle! Fierce battle! Beautiful battle!
Liu Jingxiao himself did not expect that Lu Da’s baggage company could fight so well, and he fought so beautifully!
First, he defeated a vanguard company of the Rouran people, and then cooperated with friendly troops to break into the North Pass a regiment that broke into the North Pass, and the subsequent troops were unable to follow up. Then, he cooperated with friendly troops to break into the first company of the Rourans to break into the ground and forced him to break out.
The Rouran people also found that so many combat units appeared on the battlefield at the same time, and there was a big problem in command. Each team often had to fight on their own and lacked the most basic cooperation. Even after opening a breakthrough, two companies rushed forward, but in the end they blocked the breakthrough. The Dingbian Army concentrated its firepower to shoot and killed. Rouran suffered too much loss and could only withdraw from the breakthrough.
However, this is not a big deal for Babu Dhabu. The Rouran Army is best at battalion-scale harassing wars, and has serious lack of experience in formal warfare.
It was the first time that so many troops were used to attack. In the end, after more than 300 casualties in the Northern Pass of the Rouran Army, he found nothing in the other three passes and had to stop the attack.
Broken limbs could be seen everywhere, the entire ground was stained with blood, and broken weapons and clothes were everywhere. Liu Jingxiao looked at all, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Murong Xuehai also complimented: "Fortunately, I didn't transfer the baggage company to me, otherwise it would be dangerous."
Liu Jingxiao was proud. As he expected, the baggage company really played a mainstay role at the most critical moment. If this company entered the battle in advance, Beiguan would be really lingering!
This time, in addition to calling three battalion commanders, he also specially invited two battalion commanders of Chen Zhenlong and Ruijun to see their talents and increase their capital in the future. He patted Lu Da's shoulder and raised his big hunk and smiled: "Whether it is useful or not, you can tell when you try it!"
Lu Da didn't say anything, but he was also happy. After the battle, everyone looked at him with admiration.
At this time, Liu Jingxiao glanced at Wanyan Yuzhuo who was about to follow him. She saw that her face was pale and thought that Rouran was suffering too much in this battle. She felt uncomfortable, so she said, "Yuzhuo, and Junqing, you can take care of the prisoners. I am familiar with each other, which is the most convenient way."
When Wanyan Yuzhuo heard this, she hurriedly pulled Guo Junqing away as if she had received an amnesty order. The scene was so bloody that she was so scared that she was so scared that she had forgotten how many Rouran people Liu Jingxiao killed, she had long forgotten it.
This time, more than 20 prisoners were captured, and together with some of the prisoners captured yesterday, there were more than 30 people. These people were very tough and did not produce any useful information. Liu Jingxiao's sect had no hope, but just took the opportunity to send Wanyan Yuzhuo out.
Chen Zhenlong looked at the hundreds of corpses on both sides and praised Liu Jingxiao for a few words. At this time, a messenger ran over and said breathlessly: "Roran people want to send envoys into the city."
Chen Zhenlong nodded and said, "Let's take a look!"
A group of people walked to the front of the position. After some negotiations, a Rouran man raised a white flag in his hand and wore a glossy costume. Under the guidance of the lower-level soldiers, he walked to the group of officers. When the envoy saw that Chen Zhenlong had the highest military rank, he saluted respectfully and said to Chen Zhenlong in his skillful Chinese: "I have seen the envoy of Chen, and now our army is approaching. In order to avoid the disaster of war, please let the guards make you understand the situation and make wise moves."
Before Chen Zhenlong could reply, Liu Jingxiao asked, "What is a wise move?"
The man was eloquent and said, "Please hand over your weapons. Of course, the cold weapons worn by the officers can be retained, and personal belongings can be retained. We promise not to abuse your officers and soldiers. All warriors captured by your army should be taken care of..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Jingxiao shouted: "Since we are asked to surrender unconditionally, our army can only fight to the death to the end! I have not forgotten the Coulomb bones of the twenty-one Republic!"
Liu Jingxiao's words were equivalent to blocking the way to surrender, and the critical reason was that the Rouran people had always had the reputation of killing prisoners.
It should be noted that since the Republic of China, both the north and the south have a reputation for preferential treatment of prisoners. Soldiers who fought to the last moment are often respected by both sides. Both sides reiterated that they are not allowed to kill prisoners without authorization. Of course, in wartime, a small number of prisoners without authorization are inevitable, and even a few middle and lower-level officers are involved in the matter. This is an inevitable thing.
Generally speaking, if a prisoner of war is executed, unless you can prove that he is "unforgivable crime" and is tried through a military court, the prisoners of war will generally be exchanged one-to-one prisoners of war through the Shen family at sea. If the number of prisoners of war is disproportionate, the other party may redeem the prisoners of war in money or other ways.
Of course, this system also has many flaws, because at that time, the military courts did not have the third-instance final sanction system, but the first-instance final sanction system. In the form, it was also very hasty and did not have the existence of a defense lawyer. Generally, only one judge could make a judgment, and the defendant usually did not get the opportunity to appeal, so a large number of unjust cases were also generated.
Of course, there is a more popular form of military personnel in the melee between the north and the south, that is, the so-called "exit civil war". It first appeared during the "New World War of Independence" during the twenty or thirty years of the Republic. During this period, domestic wars continued, and many troops were not at an absolute disadvantage. Therefore, they were unwilling to bear the reputation of surrendering without fighting and would rather fight to the end. On the other hand, the Republic and Albion jointly participated in the war in the New World, requiring a large number of volunteer soldiers, or cheap cannon fodder.
The Shen family negotiated with various factions in the north and south, and launched a strange "exit civil war". "Exit civil war" actually means "participating in foreign wars". The troops that exited the civil war must withdraw from defense and hand over all their weapons and equipment to their opponents, then they will arrive in Shanghai, then take a boat to the New World to re-arm, and be responsible for suppressing the independence movement of the local people.
However, this is a matter that benefits both parties. For the winner, he can get fruitful fruits without paying a price of blood. For the loser, he can not only not bear the reputation of surrender (even a reputation of "expanding territory for the republic"), but also save his own life and earn a considerable income after the war, so why not do it?
For the Shen family, this is simply wonderful! These cheap cannon fodders have been through military formations for a long time, are quite capable of fighting, and are also cheap, which is very helpful to the family's career!
After the end of the "New World War of Independence", this "exit civil war" became a routine. With the outbreak of a large-scale independence movement in the Carthaginian-controlled areas in the south of the New World, the need for cheap cannon fodder further increased. "A republican country helps an imperial country to suppress the bloody war of republicans" revealed the essence of the so-called "exit civil war".
Of course, as time goes by, "withdrawing from the civil war" may not necessarily go to the New World to participate in the war. They will also defect to a relatively neutral domestic force after the troops are disarmed. Wang Shancheng is a good example.
But Rourans treated prisoners of war in the Middle Ages. As long as the defenders said the saying "fight to the end", even if the defenders surrendered, half of the officers and one-fifth of the soldiers would be randomly executed.
In the twenty-two years of the Republic, about 2,000 people stationed in the 12th Division of Kulun surrendered to the Rourans, but because they had strong resistance, the Rourans violated their promises and massacred all of these prisoners.
Liu Jingxiao’s Suzaku School happens to be one of the remaining veins of the 12th Division. Liu Jingxiao is quite clear about this matter. He believes that he will definitely die after surrender. Only by fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of hope.
