From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 396: 80,000 prisoners

"Prepare~~~ Release!"

Under the unified order of the Guards, the main force of the Song Army Reserve that was advancing on the opposite side pulled the trigger!

Even though the enemy was still 100 meters away, there were still many Song Army musketeers who fell down!

After all, the quality of flintlocks used by the Guards is much better than that of ordinary line infantry. The quality of flintlocks directly determines the hit rate within 100 meters!

Only Richard who has the system can concentrate so many elite guards who use high-quality flintlocks as ordinary line infantry!

After all, high-quality flintlock guns also mean high costs. The poor hit rate of flintlock guns in the history of the earth is not because of insufficient production technology, but deliberate cost reduction for mass installation.

A weapon with excellent performance does not mean that it is easy to use in war. When military products are installed, the biggest reference data is actually the cost. If the cost is too high and the quality is good, it is useless, because you can't afford it...

However, high-quality weapons and equipment have little effect on the battle situation, so how to reduce costs while maintaining actual combat performance as much as possible has become an index for the performance of various weapons.

The most typical in the history of the earth is the popularity of the ak47 weapon. In terms of performance alone, some weapons are better than this assault rifle, but the ak47 has become the most popular assault rifle in the world. Even in the 21st century, there are still many people. currently using!

Where is the reason?

Mainly lies in the cheap cost and durable performance!

It is too expensive to be better than the ak47, and the performance is too poor than the ak47. Of course, this assault rifle has become the world's most popular fist product.

Therefore, regardless of the high accuracy of the flintlock gun used by the Guards, it is not the mainstream flintlock gun in the modern history of the earth. There is no other reason but the cost problem.

Of course, Richard, with the golden finger, can perfectly avoid this problem.

The Guards did not use the close-range three-row salvo tactics, because they didn't need it, their flintlocks already had a range advantage, and they could use alternate shooting methods to play with the opposite Song army and shoot them in line!

Sure enough, the platoon of the Guards had been fired three times, and the Song Army did not step into the effective range of the arquebus. On the contrary, there were a large number of Song Army musketeers who hurriedly stopped firing because they could not withstand the enormous psychological pressure. Can you hit someone...

As a result, the Song Army's formation became uneven and uneven from a hundred meters away. Some courageous teams continued to advance, but most of the teams stopped and lined up with the guards to shoot them outside the effective range of the matchlock gun!

This side of the Guards is not only a platoon gun, but also ten Parker cannons that continuously change discs and fire continuously, and a 6-pound cavalry gun!

When the first round of the 6-pounder cavalry gun was fired in a fan shape to cover the Song army queue, the Song army, which was suppressed by the supervising team, finally collapsed!

The phalanx covered by the shotgun was missing a corner directly, and then the fear spread rapidly. Including the pikemen and jumpers behind, they all turned and fled, and their weapons and equipment were thrown to the ground!

After the rout occurred, it began to spread rapidly. When the entire Song Army line was faltering, the Guards decisively launched a bayonet charge!

This time the scale of the defeat was even greater than the first time, because in order to regain the original defense line that belonged to him, the Song army general sent all the reserve teams, the strategic depth was also very strong, but the whole was destroyed!

A few stubborn Song troops collapsed after only a symbolic resistance under the bayonet assault of the guards!

The soldiers of the Song Army fled across the mountains and plains, and they were chased by far fewer guards than they had no way to go into the earth...

Pieces of Song Army soldiers knelt and raised their hands in the shout of surrender not to kill, whether it was Song State military attache or ordinary big-headed soldier, all looked panic!

They have been completely interrupted their backbones, and the modern firepower net that they have never seen in their entire life allows them to see what the real artillery age war is!

After the main force of the last reserve team of the Song Army was defeated, the Lancers and Cuirassiers who had been waiting for a long time began to intersperse in a wide range from two directions toward the direction of the Song Army's rout.

Song Jun, who was lucky enough to escape from birth, did not wait for the completion of the whole team, but was confronted by thousands of charge cavalry attack on both sides!

Under the chasing of the systematic cavalry, the generals of the Song state were unable to reorganize the army at all, and even their fate could not be guaranteed. Some clever Song generals simply took a small number of horse-riding soldiers and escaped to life on horsepower, but Song The main force of the army is infantry. How can one run on four legs?

In this way, the Song army, who had escaped the pursuit of the guards, also began to surrender in pieces. The number of Song army who surrendered soon exceeded the total number of the Ming army, and it was still increasing exponentially!

In the end, it reached the point where one Ming cavalry guarded an average of 100 Song Army prisoners of war. The extra Ming cavalry naturally chased down other Song army defeated soldiers.

Because the Song Army broke too many troops, the Ming Army asked the Song Army to take the initiative to throw the weapons in one place and gather them, and then went to the designated open space to sit on the ground with both hands waiting for orders.

It took far more time to capture the captives than it took to defeat the Song Army. It was not until the next day that the Ming Army completed the round-up of the Song Army's broken troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is no doubt that this is again for Richard. A great victory that can be recorded in the annals of history adds to Richard's history.

According to statistics afterwards, the number of the captured Song Army alone reached 80,000!

The number of Song Jun who was able to find the dead body was more than 15 thousand. In other words, the Song Jun who had escaped was less than one Chengdu...

Most of them are cavalry units of the Song Army.

On the other hand, in the Ming army, 12 guards were killed in battle, 34 Lancers were killed in battle, and 14 Cuirassiers were killed in battle. None of the other arms were killed in battle...

Richard wiped out 100,000 Song Army pioneers at the cost of only 60 people!

This record caused an uproar following the introduction of the Song army to the Southern Song court.

First of all, there was chaos in the prefectures and counties in the northwest region who voluntarily surrendered to the Song army. Whether it was Ming Guo's demotion or Song Guo's parachuting officials, they all began to use all means to pave the way for themselves.

Soon this kind of chaos spread to the inferior people in the government, and the officials and civilians began to appear people who escaped privately, and even families moved!

However, most government officials and civilian staff did not act, but they had already made up their minds to return immediately when the Ming army arrived!

The Ming army’s previous behavior of recruiting local government officials prevented these counties from falling into anarchy.

But the people below can surrender at ease, and the bureaucrats above them can't do that.

The family members of officials from the Song Dynasty are all in the Southern Song Dynasty. If they surrendered, wouldn't the whole family suffer?

And the former Ming official, who surrendered before a battle, did not dare to surrender again. The Ming court never relented in dealing with traitors...

Richard is willing to accept the second minister, but it does not mean that he will accept the third minister!
