Chapter 79: Gather the troops, I want revenge

Chapter 078

Linglong Town, Ning Haijun Camp.

It is not easy to set up camp in the ice and snow. The ground is frozen as hard as iron, making it impossible to dig trenches or pound wooden stakes into the ground.

But if you change your mind, it will become very easy. Ning Haijun's cooking soldiers immediately lit a fire and used all the marching cauldrons to boil water. Ning Haijun's soldiers shoveled up the snow with shovels and pounded it down with shovels.

This engineer shovel was also copied by the Ordnance Bureau based on later generations of engineer shovels. Although the quality is not as good as that of later generations, it is very useful.

As the snow walls are built up one after another, the hot water heated by the cooking soldiers is poured on them. When the cold wind blows, an ice wall is formed. As a war camp wall, it actually does not need to be too high, and the workload is also small.

It's not too big, just accumulated snow.

While Ning Haijun soldiers were busy setting up camp, the four carriages and RVs disassembled the horse harnesses of the carriages, then pushed the carriages, and put the carriages and carriages together. The four four-wheeled carriages and RVs were assembled together to form

A larger and larger RV.

As the electronic center of the RV lights up, the entire carriage RV becomes bright.

This horse-drawn carriage with electronic energy-saving lamps is naturally Cheng Shijie's private carriage and RV. It has a 1,200-watt solar panel installed on the top of the car, which can generate seven or eight kilowatt hours of electricity a day.

This electric energy has little other use, but it can charge the walkie-talkie of Cheng Shijie's drone. However, before the temperature in Cheng Shijie's RV rose, Cheng Shijie charged the walkie-talkies one by one. At this moment, he heard

The rapid sound of horse hooves could be heard outside.

So far, the Ning Navy does not have cavalry in the true sense. Even soldiers on horseback are scouts. Obviously, the scouts have brought updated news.

"Tell me, Marshal, the latest news is that the rebels attacking Crouching Tiger Village have increased their troops!"

"How many more troops are coming?"

"There are more than five hundred people!"

Cheng Shijie was not nervous. There was not much difference between luring more than 1,000 enemies and more than 1,500 people. Liu Qingsong should be able to complete the task.

"Definitely..."

Not long after, there was another sound of horse hooves.

The scouts brought back new news.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the rebel Lou Jian's troops have increased by more than 600 troops...

Before he finished speaking, another team of scouts came over and reported: "The rebels are attacking again!"

There were five waves of reinforcements, at least 3,000 troops.

Cheng Shijie's face became solemn. It was no longer realistic to transfer Liu Qingsong's department back at this time.

Zhang Yu was in a hurry: "Commander, I will take the troops from the right commander to help you?"

"No, you ask the soldiers to get ready and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"yes!"

Zhang Yu had no choice but to lead Ning's navy soldiers to start setting up a defense line along the camp.

As Zhang Yu and other officers left, Cheng Shijie immediately took out the drone placed in the carriage and then added gasoline to the drone's pesticide tank.

Now, the only thing Cheng Shijie can do is to launch the drone, and then use the drone to spray gasoline on the rebels. At night, if the rebels want to pursue Liu Qingsong's troops, they will definitely light torches to light up the road. In this case,

The gasoline sprayed by the drone will directly turn into a fire dragon, forming a sea of ​​​​fire in the enemy formation.

Although Ning Haijun has now grown to a small number of 20,000 troops, of which the navy accounts for more than one-third of the force, Ning Haijun has too few veterans and even fewer confidants. Let alone 300 troops, even if one of them dies,

Cheng Shijie will also feel physical pain.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

There was a dense thunderous sound in the distance, indicating that the two sides were fighting. At this time, Cheng Shijie did not care about his own soldiers discovering his drone, and directly increased the speed of the drone.

"Let's go!"

As the drone took off, Cheng Shijie controlled the drone and flew quickly towards Crouching Tiger Village. When the drone flew to Crouching Tiger Village, it took less than five minutes. Through the drone screen, he saw

It was a scene that made Cheng Shijie unbelievable.

Rebel soldiers are lining up to surrender.

Liu Qingsong accepted the thanks from the iron craftsmen of Wohu Village.

"Thank God!"

Cheng Shijie breathed a sigh of relief. These rebels were very honest. They were frightened by Ning Haijun's thunderbolts. Don't look at the fact that Liu Qingsong's troops fired 240 lead bullets and

More than 200 crossbow arrows caused 300 to 400 casualties to the rebels.

The ancient army was not like the armies of later generations, especially in terms of sustaining casualties. In the Battle of Verdun in World War I, the French army invested 75 divisions and 1.1 million troops, but suffered losses of 540,000.

At a cost of more than 3,000 people, 156,000 of them died. The fifty divisions of the German army that participated, totaling 1.25 million people, resulted in German losses of more than 434,000 people, including 143,000.

More than a thousand people were killed.

The casualty ratio of both parties involved in the war exceeded 40%. However, in ancient times, even elite troops could only withstand 30% casualties. Because of the scrapped weapons, they were unable to fight anymore. Under normal circumstances, it was 100%.

Between five and ten percent.

The rebels of Kong Youde's tribe were a ragtag group of people, and naturally they were extremely weak in the ability to withstand casualties. The ceiling of the ancient army was Ran Wei during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Ran Min led more than 10,000 Ran Wei troops under his command and fought to the end.

Out of more than 10,000 troops, only 300 surrendered in the end.

In this battle, the Yan army suffered heavy losses of 200,000 infantry and cavalry. It took four years for the Yan army to regain its strength, allowing the six states of Ran Wei, Yan, Qing, Yi, Bing, and Luo, to expand over a four-year period.

There was anarchy during the year.

Of course, this is an extremely rare phenomenon, and this is MZ hatred.

After this unexpected encounter at Wohu Village, Cheng Shijie fully realized the power of Ning Haijun. He concentrated his forces to prepare for the decisive battle with Kong Youde's troops, which seemed a bit conservative.

Since it was a bit conservative, I decided to correct this problem.

Cheng Shijie recovered the drone, put the drone's gasoline back into the gasoline barrel, and at the same time removed the drone's battery to charge the drone.

In this cold winter, the working time of the drone has been greatly reduced. The battery that was originally able to work at full capacity for one hour only had less than 47% of the power left after working for ten minutes.

Cheng Shijie is thinking that he should go back to later generations and purchase fuel-powered drones. In this way, it will be more convenient. When the Gunpowder Bureau develops new gunpowder, he can just let the drones drop bombs.

Cheng Shijie ventilated the RV to disperse the gasoline smell inside.

By this time, Liu Qingsong had already passed the message of his victory back to the camp.

Faced with this news, the officers of Ning Haijun were collectively stunned.

"Three hundred against more than four thousand, winning in one battle, beheading 426 people, and capturing 3,852 people? How is this possible?"

"Is Liu Qingsong so fierce?"

"He doesn't know how serious the punishment for lying about military merit is, right?"

"Isn't it true that I just got promoted to the fifth rank of Qian?"

However, the problem is that the slap in the face came too fast. It didn't take long. The soldiers of Liu Qingsong's department had already begun to return. These Ning Navy soldiers were escorting the prisoners. The carts were filled with supplies seized from the rebels.

There are grains, gold and silver treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings and other things.

These rebel prisoners were now like sheep, they were the ones pushing the cart, and they were only supervising one of the sentries, fifty Ning navy soldiers, watching over the endless procession of prisoners.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the humble Liu Qingsong was ordered to annihilate more than 4,000 rebel Lou Jian's troops and bring back all 3,852 prisoners, including one or more!"

“Well done!”

Although Cheng Shijie assigned Liu Qingsong's men the task of luring the enemy, Liu Qingsong actually killed Lou Jian and all his men. This can only be said to be an unexpected surprise.

"The commander is wise and can tell thousands of miles away!"

Zhang Yu was a little confused. Looking at Cheng Shijie's attitude just now, it was clear that he was not worried about Liu Qingsong's defeat. Could it be said that the commander could predict the future?

Just like what is said in the play, strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away?

As Ning Haijun's right chief, Zhang Yu knew very well that every piece of information had to pass through his hands. Cheng Shijie didn't seem surprised at all. He had already calculated this result?

"Gather all the rebel prisoners. I want to give you a lecture!"

Zhang Yu stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Commander, do you want to send these rebel prisoners to work in the mines?"

Cheng Shijie then thought about it, and now he was ready to abandon the industry in Ninghai Prefecture and go to Liaonan to build a new base. However, Liaonan not only had to deal with the harsh environment, but also had to face the extremely vicious slaves.

Honest and good people probably won't be able to survive there. Only scoundrels and scumbags who have seen blood and done bad things can survive in Liaonan and take root.

Entering the main camp of Ning Haijun Camp, the eyes of these rebel prisoners began to move around. They saw vehicles with big black barrels densely arranged around them. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They thought silently in their hearts: "Fortunately.

Surrender, otherwise you will be blown to pieces!"

The big black barrel is actually a thunderbolt. Thirty barrels are fixed together with three iron hoops by craftsmen from the Gun Bureau. From the front, it looks like a big black barrel.

Cheng Shijie was also looking at these rebel prisoners. They were all sallow, skinny, and in ragged clothes. Their faces were pale and their bodies were like chaff in the cold wind. These were probably farmers who could not survive.

Of course, Cheng Shijie didn't know that he was only half right. Although these rebel prisoners were farmers who could not survive, they were not frozen, but turned pale with fear.

The surrounding Ning Navy soldiers were all carrying crossbows, gleaming spears, silent and tough soldiers, and more importantly, Cheng Shijie had 62 Thunder Guns in the camp. If it weren't for Shen Mingyu,

After taking away thirty vehicles, Ning Haijun has equipped nearly a hundred Thunder Gun vehicles.
