[Chapter 301] The scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry are simply devils!
(0301)
The concept of the Eastern battlefield is always the most shameful thing to be captured. Even if you are captured in a serious injury state without even the ability to commit suicide, or if you are captured in a completely undoubted state, it is the same shameful thing. This concept will not change at all even four hundred years later. No matter what great achievements you have before, once you are captured, your life will be destined to be full of stains. Your future life will always be spent in the darkness. Those who have been captured will never be able to raise their heads in front of others.
Xu Xingxia, in his previous life, had some understanding of the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. What impressed him most was probably Glory Bang. Glory Bang was a grenade. It is said that the lead was very short, and as long as the string was pulled, the grenade exploded immediately. When the enemy surrounded him, or when he just fell into the enemy's hands, you just had to pull the string and you didn't know anything. Because, after Glory Bang rang, you only had black and white photos left.
Of course, this may also be a false story, completely fictional. The glory bomb may be an ordinary grenade. However, no matter what, its function is the same, that is, it is to rather die than be a prisoner. Whether it can kill the enemy is not important, as long as it can be killed, it is enough. It can be seen that the shame of captors is absolutely unbearable for Eastern people. Obviously, Xu Xingxia was also influenced by this idea.
"You can't be a prisoner even if you die!" Xu Xingxia repeatedly warned the scout team.
Due to this indoctrination of ideas, the scouts of the White Army are always ready to be martyrs. If they encounter situations that they may be captured, they must decisively end their lives. Therefore, it is definitely not an easy task for the Tatar scouts to capture the tongue of the White Army. At that time, if a person is determined to die, he can always find a way. The key is to have super willpower. Among them, biting his tongue and committing suicide is the most effective method.
Even if you encounter a sneak attack, you will have a chance to bite your tongue and commit suicide during the fight. With the medical skills at that time, it is impossible to stop bleeding from the tongue. After a lot of blood loss, people will naturally die. Of course, if you don’t even have the chance to bite your tongue, it means that the situation is indeed too bad. The strength of the two sides is too far apart, and you are completely at a controlled disadvantage.
In fact, such a situation is simply impossible. Since it is a scout, you must naturally be familiar with the characteristics of the scout. How to capture the tongue, or how to be captured by the enemy, is very familiar with it. Unless you fall into a trap carefully set by the other party, you will not be able to face a crisis where you don’t even have the chance to commit suicide.
The scouts of both sides fought each other. There were scouts who died in battle in the White Army, and there were also injured scouts. However, there were absolutely no scouts who were captured. On the contrary, there were as many as three or four Tatar scouts caught by the White Army scouts. Information about the Tatars was tortured from the tongues of these Tatars.
If the Tatars cannot catch the tongue of the White Army, the Tatars cannot know the details of the White Army. Of course, this is not a good thing for Eriton and Helekin. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can you win every battle! However, for the Tatar scouts, the trouble they encountered was not just these. They were suddenly shocked to find that their opponents, in addition to the White Army's scouts, also had another group of musketeers. The sudden appearance of this group of musketeers made the Tatars scouts almost completely lose their scope and at a loss.
At the beginning, the Tatars thought that the musketeers were also scouts of the white army, and treated them like scouts, but later they found out that it was not. In this process, the scouts of the Tatars suffered a great loss. When they realized the differences between the musketeers, the price they paid was already quite large.
The main task of standard scouts is to obtain intelligence. In order to obtain intelligence, their principles are to avoid alarming the enemy as much as possible. Once the enemy is alarmed, any plan will fail. In order to avoid the exposure of their identity, they generally rarely kill people. Unless they discover valuable targets, they must take risky measures. The killing is very disturbing, and it is impossible not to disturb other enemies. If you have not yet approached the target you want to capture alive, you will alarm the other party. How can you catch your tongue alive?
However, the people encountered by the Tatar cavalry were completely different from those of scouts. They had no need to hide and were not afraid of killing people. They even killed people randomly. It felt that their purpose was not for intelligence, but for pure killing. Yes, it was just killing people. They didn't care about exposing their positions or catching the enemy alive. Although they were in groups of three or five, they were always carrying a fierce murderous intent.
If the Tatar scouts were unfortunately met, they would most likely be shot and killed on the spot. Since they did not need to hide their identities and did not need to catch their tongues alive, these musketeers of the White Army could shoot from a very far place. But the damn muskets had a long range and a high accuracy head. Multiple people fired at the same time, which often caused the Tatar scouts to fall out before they could react.
The unfortunate Tartar scouts didn't know who was shooting them until the moment they died. They could only infer that it was the White Army, but they didn't know which unit it was. Many Tartars were running and suddenly felt that they were bitten by mosquitoes, and then they heard dull gunshots. Then they fell to the ground and lost their sense of personnel. If they were lucky, they might still be able to struggle for a while. If they were not lucky, they would report directly to Changshengtian.
What's even more terrible is that the musketeers of the White Army always disappeared immediately after firing. They couldn't come to check how many people were injured and killed, and how many people were left. Before the other scouts of the Tatars began to chase, they had already run away without a trace. What other Tatars saw was often the white smoke produced after a ball of muskets was fired, or the dust flying up when the horses quickly left.
When encountering such an opponent, the Tatar scouts, they feel very depressed. What they are depressed is not the lethality of the white-clothed armed musketeers, but their coming and going like the wind, and they run away after killing people. You cannot fight back targetedly with such an opponent. God knows where they emerged? God knows where they will hide? No one can guarantee that the next time, they will be themselves.
After all, the range of the white-clothed army muskets is at least thirty or forty feet, and sometimes even fifty or sixty feet. No matter how clever the Tatar scouts are, they cannot detect the danger thirty or forty feet! The Tartars' own archery skills are basically without lethality. Even if they have to counterattack at the first time, there is no possibility of counterattack. Forcibly shooting arrows is just a waste of arrows.
What's even more terrible is that these white-clothed musketeers are not at all different from those of the white-clothed scouts. Most of the Tatars treat them as scouts of the White-clothed Squad. As a result, just as they try to get close to the fight, they suddenly fire. Often, a rogue of guns comes over, one or two of the Tatars will be killed. Sometimes, if they are too lucky, it is possible that three people are shot.
As a result, the Tatar scout casualties were blown up in just half a day. They suffered more than fifty casualties! Each sporadic gunshot may cause the Tatars casualties. Don’t think that the fifty casualties can be ignored. It should be noted that these people are not ordinary Tartars, they are all scouts of the Tatars! Three hundred ordinary Tartars may not be as good as fifty scouts!
Basically, those who can serve as scouts have very strong combat abilities. In addition, their reaction ability, tracking ability, and escape ability are all first-class. Some scouts, even their combat abilities are first-class. It can be said that whether they are the Tatars or the scouts of the White Army, they are all elite among the elites. The losses of these people are simply fatal. An experienced scout cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.
"What's going on?" Eriton asked in surprise.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Hellerkin asked helplessly.
With their experience, it is certain that those abominable white-clothed musketeers are definitely not scouts of the White-clothed Army. If the White-clothed Army were all like this, they would never have been able to catch the captives of the Tatars and would never have been able to obtain information. It is estimated that if their identities were not a bit special, even the White-clothed Army's scouts would not be able to tolerate them. These guys were completely sabotage on the battlefield!
However, the two of them had no idea who the other party was. Due to the appearance of these strange musketeers, the Tatar scouts retreated a little and did not dare to provoke the other party at all. After a long time, they finally figured out. Those hateful white-clothed musketeers were all scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry.
"Damn the straitor!" Erito cursed fiercely.
"Damn the White Army!" Hellekin also cursed in disappointment.
Apart from knowing that they were scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army, they had no other information. What kind of troops were there in the Diaoqi Army, how many people, who was the commander, and the Tatars had no idea. They didn't expect that less than two months after Gugler suffered a loss last time, the White-Clothed Army had a new idea. That Xu Xingxia really didn't know where it came out, why was he so troublesome?
For the Tatars, these scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry are simply devils. Open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against, let alone shooting at a long distance. The terrain is still a bit undulating around the Gobi Desert, and there are many sand dunes of large and small. It is absolutely easy and ordinary to lurk at a distance of thirty or forty feet and suddenly shoot. In other words, the Tatar scouts are simply unpredictable for the sneak attack of the Eagle Cavalry. The only effective way is to withdraw the Tatar scouts and completely escape the range of the Eagle Cavalry's muskets.
However, if the scout is withdrawn, the Tatars' "ears" and "eyes" will fail. Without the existence of the scout, not only will it not be able to understand the enemy's intelligence in time, but it is even unable to detect the enemy's sneak attack on him in time. This is very dangerous for the battlefield commanders. Because, although Eriton and Helekin were very annoyed and heartbroken, they must continue to send scouts to continue to bear the indescribable casualties.
"Bang!"
A dull gunshot came.
Of course, this is the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army firing.
Every time I hear these sporadic gunshots, Eriton and Hellerkin feel very bad.
Because it is very likely that after the gunshot, another Tatar scout was injured or died. Whether it was injured or died, the Tatar scout must have been scrapped. He watched the elite soldiers under his command die at the guns of the white-clothed army, but there was no way to save them. The two of them were so depressed.
For a time, all the Tatar scouts hated the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army, and their hatred for Xu Xingxia. There was no way, but Xu Xingxia only indirectly threatened them. The scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army directly threatened their lives. As long as they were not careful and entered the range of the muskets of the Diaoqi Army, they were very likely to lose their lives.
"Good job! Just do it!" Xu Xingxia said with satisfaction.
Some people are happy and some are sad. Since the Tatars are so sad, the White Army will naturally celebrate victory. Eridun and Helejin both hate the scattered cavalry so much. It can be seen that the scattered cavalry did hit the Tatars' pain point. As long as it is something that makes the Tatars uncomfortable, Xu Xingxia has to do it, and it has to be very special. Therefore, Xu Xingxia gave all the soldiers of the scattered cavalry without hesitation.
His rewards are definitely implemented in practice. As long as he can prove the number of Tartars he killed, he can receive corresponding rewards. This reward is mainly spiritual. Due to the lack of money, the incentive system of the White Army is basically based on honorary rewards, and there are very few direct rewards in terms of money. For this reason, Xu Xingxia also specially designed a primitive medal model. Different medals can be worn according to the number of enemies killed.
Specifically, kill five enemies, wear iron medals, kill ten enemies, wear bronze medals, kill twenty enemies, wear silver medals, kill fifty enemies, wear gold medals. Gold medals can be obtained repeatedly. Kill one hundred enemies, you can get two gold medals. If you can kill three hundred enemies, you can get six gold medals. And so on. If you have enough skills, it is also possible to get ten gold medals.
