18th century total war

Chapter 325 Cruel Tactics

"It seems that in the eyes of the British, the life of 10 Indians is worth the life of one soldier under my command.

I really don't know what kind of country India is. Could it be that there are cheap slaves everywhere?

The British really discovered a population treasure. "

Aristotle sighed secretly while holding up the binoculars.

Because the battle situation at this time was reversed again as a large number of Indian servants in the first line of battle were defeated and slaughtered.

Those Indian servant soldiers who had just finished the second battle order of their own rout, whether they were officers or soldiers, had no intention of stopping at all.

I don't know if it was because of the red eyes, or the massacre of the Indian rout caused the morale of the Indian servants to explode. These Indian soldiers wielding swords and spears survived a round of salvos from the Greek Defense Forces!
Since the Indian servants in the second battle lineup have been charging, the battle line of the Greek Defense Forces had no time to fire a second round of volleys, so they had to form a long bayonet formation.

Afterwards, there was a sound of weapons hitting and flesh-piercing. The soldiers of the Indian servant army rushed into the battle line of the Greek Defense Force with red eyes and screamed strangely, bumping the battle line of the Greek Defense Force into unevenness. Whether they are Greeks or Indians, they will be trampled into flesh by the enemy and even the friendly army!

The fighting area was quickly filled with densely packed human heads and corpses. In just a few minutes of contact, thousands of casualties appeared on both sides!

This aroused Aristotle's emotion.

Although judging from the battlefield situation, the casualties of the Greek Defense Forces were much lower than those of the Indian Servants, and after a few minutes of fierce fighting, a large number of Indian Servants who were killed in the second battle line were not unexpectedly avalanched, and there were still left on the ground There were a large number of Greek soldiers wailing wounded and blood-covered corpses!
Even the companies in the first three rows of the Greek battle line had to retreat after the collapse of the Indian servants in the second battle line. A large number of casualties and physical loss caused the Greek Defense Force companies in the first three rows to lose most of their combat effectiveness. , can only retire temporarily.

Apparently, this is why the British sent so much Indian cannon fodder from the Indian subcontinent.

Blood and killing are the most likely to inspire the beast in the heart of human beings. Even if the beast jumps out for only a few minutes, it is enough to cause a lot of casualties to the enemy!
Just as the Greek Defense Forces reorganized their battle lines and replaced them with fresh troops, the collapsed Indian servants of the second battle order encountered the same situation as the Indian servants of the first battle order they had slaughtered.

The Indian servants in the third order of battle, led by officers, fired a round of volleys without hesitation and sent all troops equipped with swords and spears to kill the scattered deserters.

This scene stunned the Greek Defense Force reinforcements who had just stepped into the front line.

The field of view of the generals and soldiers on the battlefield is different, so it is often difficult for the soldiers behind to see the battle on the front line. Therefore, many Greek soldiers who have just set foot on the front line saw this scene of Indians massacring Indians for the first time.

The British officer in the third battle sequence waved his command knife and encouraged loudly: "Everyone is not allowed to retreat, otherwise they will be your fate!"

Not only the British officers on horses, but also the grassroots officers who were Indians kept shouting to the soldiers: "Don't be cowards who run away, break through the enemy's lines!
Anyway, it is death, it is better to die on the battlefield of the charge! "

After finishing speaking, he sliced ​​off half of the head of a panicked Indian deserter who wanted to escape, revealing a disgusting red and white object.

Facts have proved that killing can really improve the combat morale of the army, at least in a short period of time.

When they set off, there were still many cowardly Indian servants in the third battle order, and their scruples had long been washed away by blood.

The begging for mercy of the "weak" and the screams of the wounded constantly stimulated the nerve endings of the Indian soldiers in the third battle order, causing their adrenal hormones to soar upwards.

When the soldiers of the Indian servant army in the third battle order smashed through the defeated soldiers, they naturally encountered the oncoming Greek Defense Forces battle line.

At this time, Indian soldiers holding muskets, swords and spears were already mixed together. At this moment, Aristotle seemed to understand why only the first row of soldiers in the Indian servant army's battle line had muskets in their hands.

Because the British commander only needs a salvo from the Indian minions!
This round of volley is not necessarily aimed at the enemy!
bang bang bang...

The soldiers of the Indian servant army with muskets in their hands did not aim. After seeing the densely packed line of the Greek Defense Forces, they raised their hands and shot.

The sporadic musket sound further inspired the crazy atmosphere of the soldiers of the Indian servant army. They shouted the titles of the gods they believed in, brandished their weapons, and rushed towards the enemy's bayonet at the fastest speed in their lives, completely forgetting Whether his naked body can penetrate the opponent's bayonet jungle.

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar, and white gunpowder smoke once again shrouded the battle line of the Greek Defense Forces. The Indian servant army in the third line of battle in the charge suddenly fell back!

At this time, some Indian soldiers finally woke up, but they quickly remembered the Indian friendly officers and soldiers they had just slaughtered.

As long as the Indian soldiers in the charge took a casual glance at the back, they could see that the Indian friendly army was as dense as the enemy army in front of them a hundred meters away. Their guns had been raised horizontally, as if they were waiting for themselves to become deserters!

The Indian soldiers on both sides looked towards another open space, but what they saw was the British King's German Legion flanked horizontally, wearing gorgeous military uniforms and holding the Union Jack flag, and they had already raised their guns and pointed at them. The direction they are in!

From time to time, you can still see some British men on horseback waving sabers, surrounded by the corpses of Indian deserters lying in a pool of blood!

Obviously, these British on horseback are the British commanders who were originally evacuated in the first and second battle sequences!

Now that the British generals have regarded the Indian servant army as a one-time 'supply', the ranks of these British commanders will naturally not be too high, and many of them have a 'temporary' prefix.

When these British commanders completed their tasks, they would temporarily serve as cavalry units to help the British King's German Corps kill Indian deserters.

The effect of this inhuman massacre on Indian deserters is still very significant. On a battlefield full of gunfire and corpses everywhere, killing is the most direct and effective way to shock people.

Even if the Indian servants complain, they have to wait until the battle is over!
In fact, the British generals hoped that this decisive battle would consume all the Indian servants, so that they would not have to worry about sleeping with a group of resentful Indian pariahs.

As long as the Indian servants are not stupid, after this battle, they will inevitably have a shocking reversal of their perception of the suzerain country of Britain.

This news may be limited by the poor communication and traffic environment, and it cannot be transmitted to the Indian subcontinent, hindering the British conscription plan.

However, the fighting mentality of the Indian servants on the Greek peninsula will definitely undergo unpredictable changes.

If it weren't for the London government's lack of confidence in capturing the Greek peninsula, it would not have used this tactic with strong side effects.

Of course, as long as Aristotle's main force of the Greek Defense Force can be defeated, the death of [-] Indian untouchables is very worthwhile!
What's more, even if the [-] Indian untouchables did not die, the London government and the British generals would have backhands to prevent them from mutinying.

Aristotle watched the Indian servants coming up in the third battle line. He put down the monocular again helplessly and rubbed his brow.

This set of tactics really made Aristotle feel uncomfortable!
Quite uncomfortable!

And the surrounding Greek generals, after seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel resolutely anti-British in their hearts.

The British treat the servant army so cruelly, who would dare to be a younger brother to the British?

Although the British only used Indian pariahs, this kind of behavior really broke through the bottom line of human moral principles. The Greek generals present had 1 reasons to condemn this anti-human behavior of the British government!

They have seen deserters killed, but they have never seen deserters cleaned up in an organized way. This is even more shocking than the ancient Roman law of [-] killings!

Even many Greek generals have already thought about how to write a battle report denouncing the anti-human behavior of the British after returning from the war, so as to please President Aristotle.

If his battle report can be published in the Greek National Glory, that would be a huge political capital!

As for the dark history of these Greek generals flirting with British diplomatic envoys, they have long since left them behind.

Although the military and government are separated in name and soldiers cannot participate in politics, how many people can really do it?

Not to mention that soldiers don't participate in politics, if soldiers don't engage in coups, it is already a very good national system!
As long as officials in the army reach a certain position, even if you really don’t want to participate in politics, you will be forcibly drawn in. Otherwise, if you don’t stand in line, you will be regarded as a fool, which is the worst thing in politics.

You said that you are dedicated to the country, so you don't ask about state affairs?
Hehe, do you think those politicians who talk about the righteousness of the country all day long will believe it?

They'll only wonder if you're up for grabs, or if you've secretly turned to their political enemies!
No matter which category it is, it is very offensive!

Of course, if you really reach a position where you don't have to worry about offending others, you won't need to stand in line. At that time, you will be a big force yourself!

However, in today's Greek Republic, the parliament has been abolished by Aristotle's cabinet system, and there is no room for opposition parties in the Aristotle government.

In addition, Aristotle also learned from the General Directorate of Military Intelligence of the French Empire and established a national security department (actually a secret service) directly under his own, specifically to review the internal bureaucracy!
Who dares to go against Aristotle?
Those politicians who openly oppose Aristotle are usually first exposed to a lot of scandals to ruin your reputation, and then list the charges and send you to prison with legal procedures!

The most frightening thing is that the whole process complies with national laws and regulations, as if you should be tried and imprisoned and lose everything!
Is this fair?

In the eyes of some people, this is very fair. Who told him to take bribes?
But in the eyes of other people, this is very unfair. Compared with corruption and bribery, there is a large group of people in the government who are ahead of him in terms of amount. Why are such small fish and shrimps arrested and imprisoned? Those who are the biggest corrupt officials in the country still have high status. High position?

However, the former group of people are ordinary people with relatively closed information channels, while the latter group of people are more well-informed or smart enough to analyze the results by themselves, but have not gained any benefits. The outcome can be imagined...

Obviously, the former is the majority!

The minority obeys the majority. Isn't this the true meaning of democracy?

Aristotle understood long before he was brainwashed by Li Wei that the most important thing for a republican country is to control public opinion.

Controlling public opinion is actually tantamount to controlling public opinion.

The common people who occupy the majority will not delve into the truth by themselves, they only need simple language and logic guidance, and they will explode with great enthusiasm.

Human beings' instinct is to judge others from the moral high ground, so Aristotle is very happy to give most ordinary people a step to the moral high ground, and then arouse public opinion!

This is actually the same as in the world of Li Wei's previous life. When editing videos, he specially selects the clip that is beneficial to him, deletes the part that is not beneficial to him, and then matches it with a just right copywriting, turning black and white, and turning his hands over his hands. For the rain, it is not too easy to fool the public.

Of course, the premise is that you do not violate the law, otherwise, if the government intervenes, reversing the plot will only make the fooled people burst into double anger and pour on you.

The easier it is for people to be fooled, the more they hate those who fool them, because it will make them realize that their IQ has been crushed...

However, as the government in power, Aristotle doesn’t have to worry about reversing the plot. He himself represents the government. Who dares to testify that everything he said is fooling the people?

People will instinctively believe in the government. As long as the facts are not exposed to civilians, the credibility of what the government says is quite strong.

The Greek Defense Force still has a lot of fresh troops, so the Indian servants in the third line of battle are the same as the 'predecessors' who were massacred by them. The rhythm of passion is less than 10 minutes, leaving corpses all over the place and collapsing .

Then the Indian servant army in the fourth battle line repeated the previous tactics!
At this moment, Gulag finally saw the rear row of soldiers in the fighting formation move.

With such a movement, the vision of the people in Gulag suddenly widened. They saw the blood that stained the ground red, and the corpses in various poses covering the ground!
With a bang, Gulag swallowed hard.
