Five hundred and fourteen "True Warriors"
This situation occurred in every alley in every pass of Zijing Pass.
These "supervisors" are the guards brought by Chai Guozhu from Jizhen, and a group of available soldiers under the former general surname Qian, formed the supervision team, which is specifically responsible for killing deserters and using cruel means to force these deserters.
If you rush forward, you still have a chance to survive. If you run back, you will definitely die!
Chai Guozhu looked at Li Chengliang's serious face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He is worthy of being the first Wanli general who won ten times of victory. He is good at using troops and is good at using troops. Even if he deals with these soldiers, he has his own way.
But that's right. Since ancient times, those who are kind-hearted have not been in charge of military forces. They should not only be cruel to the enemy, but sometimes they should be even more cruel to their own people. In that large-scale battle in history, the head coach did not arrange a supervising team? Sometimes the army retreated without reason, and the existence of the supervising team has its necessary significance.
Killing some deserters is also worth it.
After this killing, the first wave of deserters was severely curbed, and a large number of soldiers from the Beijing camp were driven to the city wall to fight the enemy. More and more minced meat and corpses were on the city wall, and blood gradually covered every inch of the city wall bricks. In addition to the roars of the soldiers, there seemed to be countless shrill shouts from unjust souls.
However, Li Chengliang was still unmoved, and did not change his expression at all. He was still serious. His old face was not as good as an ancient sculpture, standing there like a sculpture.
He obviously did nothing, but strangely, just this could make the cowards who were still shouting that they wanted to go home and ask for their mother a second ago to stand up immediately, staring at the Mongolians under the city with tears in their eyes and gritting their teeth.
Even if the shadow of a man's famous tree has not been on the battlefield for a long time, the five words "Li Chengliang from Liaodong" are still a golden signboard.
No matter how politically Li Chengliang is a fence-bearer and how much he loses in moral integrity, Li Chengliang is a famous general in military affairs.
It seems that as long as you stand here and show your existence, the soldiers will have the courage to persist in fighting.
This is probably where famous generals are different from ordinary generals?
Chai Guozhu sighed and continued to command his own battle.
Sometimes, after the period of too strong stimulation is over, people will become numb. After the initial shock and panic brought by the strong stimulation that has never been seen before, the numb emotions will stabilize and no longer be afraid of the things that will scream after a glance, even a little bit of fear.
There were fierce Mongolians in front and fierce supervision teams behind. The soldiers had no way out. They were either killed by their own people, without any pensions when they died, or they were killed by the Mongolians. If they were bad, they could get the title of death in battle. It sounds nice to say it.
Throughout history, countless "brave warriors" have been running towards the path of death with such awareness. Although it is a bit cruel, this is a fate that they cannot refuse.
Of course, after most people were desperate and turned to the battlefield, there were also many soldiers who were determined to escape without any courage to go back to fight. These soldiers who were full of market aura were of no cure and had no other way except to kill them.
"I know Mr. Zhang!"
"I am the slave of the house of Hou xx!"
"My marquis won't let you go!!!"
They shouted such slogans, with a face mixed with tears and snot, and wanted to leave the city wall that was dead every minute and every second. Some people were even mentally ill and held a lot of money in their hands and handed them forward to ask for a way out. They cried while giving the money, asking the men in the supervision team to give them a way out for them.
"I will give you all my money, I will let me go! Let me go! Please let me go!!!"
Swish!
Replying to them was a cold look and a shiny blade that streaked across their necks, a head twisted by fear rose into the sky.
These servants have long been in a state of mind. The twenty-year battlefield career has made each of them a hob, and there will be no obstacles in their hearts to kill people. Whether it is killing Tartars or killing their own people, there will be no obstacles.
Fewer and fewer people wanted to escape, and there were many people who were crying and shouting, exposing their bodies crazy and standing up and shooting wildly at the Mongolians under the city. They had completely lost their minds, with tears in their eyes, and some were even crying constantly. Fear and pain collapsed their spiritual defense line, and they were already crazy.
Some of them were shooting wildly with bows and arrows, and they didn't dodge or dodge at all. In a short while, several arrows were shot through their necks and fell to the ground and died...
Some people were shot with bird guns and shot a shot, but before they could load the ammunition, they were shot and turned into minced meat...
Some people raised the wooden rocks and wanted to smash them down. As soon as they were lifted, they were shot to death by several arrows. The stone that had not been thrown down fell on the city wall with them...
Those who fight crazy are not only brave and fearless warriors, but also deserters who have gone crazy. These people will become even more crazy and desperate, just seeking death quickly and not asking for anything else.
Chai Guozhu looked at these soldiers who were often energetic and shook his head.
Since ancient times, there have been many such soldiers. There are a high chance of becoming like this when you first go to the battlefield. Only veterans who have experienced countless battles can treat every battle calmly and survive hard. Many "brave" soldiers are soldiers who want to die after their mental breakdown and crazy.
But this kind of soldier is very helpful to the army. They do not dodge or dodge, which greatly increases their mortality rate, and also greatly increases the enemy's casualty rate. It is regarded as the most cruel waste utilization in a sense.
Cruelty is just two words, but in the actual battlefield, in order to interpret these two words, I don’t know how many people have to sacrifice their lives.
Li Chengliang didn't care, he didn't care at all. As long as he could defend Zijing Pass, everything was worth it.
On December 13, 25th year of Wanli, Dingxiang City was lost, and most of more than 10,000 defenders were killed in battle or killed in death. A few were captured, and Dingxiang City was burned.
The only thing that is thankful is that Wang Shiyang's tactic of firming the walls and clearing the field was well implemented. In order to escape, everyone ran hard and ran very fast. Even the Mongolian horses could not catch up with them.
On December 17, 25th year of Wanli, after four days of resistance, Xinzhou City was lost, and 20,000 defenders died in battle, and most of the remaining were withdrawn in advance. Wang Shiyang believed that the tactic of stabilizing the walls and clearing the field had been completed, and most of the population had been transferred to southern Shanxi for refuge. It was no longer worth sacrificing and delaying time.
