And if the battle is like this, wouldn't you be a fool if you don't run away?The ordinary Letanian soldiers did not defect to the opposite side because their families were all in the country.

However, it is also during the battle that you don’t work hard, let alone when you are eating, you even go directly to the opposite side to have a meal, and then bring back the treatment, living conditions, and policies for the infected and the lower classes back to your own military camp. , In a fruitful way, the morale and fighting will of his own people were hit.

As for those soldiers who were not burdened by their families or whose relatives had died in battle, they surrendered decisively with their equipment without any psychological burden, and even kidnapped the entire establishment of officers and surrendered together.

However, those noble soldiers, professional soldiers, etc. maintained their original morale and state. They could not surrender, could not surrender, and did not dare to surrender.

It's just that, after evaporating to the end, there may be less than half of Letania's remaining troops capable of fighting. We have managed the army well, and it is more likely that there will be no one out of ten.

[PS]

I saw yesterday that someone said that the Ming gentry's resistance to taxes was against apportionment rather than against the imperial grain tax. The reason was that the imperial grain national tax was only a few points?

This is the logic of normal people.

But the problem is that reality does not speak logic.

The national tax on imperial grain is indeed not high, one for thirty, but they want to resist, why?Because this is something that must be paid to death.

And the apportionment Feisa seems to be a lot of exorbitant taxes, logically speaking, they should resist this!

The fact is: the gentry absolutely did not resist apportionment, but instead resisted the national tax.

Because the apportionment is: the money of the gentry will be returned in full, and the money of the common people will be divided in threes and sevens, brother!

Chapter 34 Qin Wang

"Fire!" The white tiger rocket made a roar like a swarm of bees, and countless white light spots rushed into the sky. The arrows cast by the source stone steel quickly plunged into the high-altitude source stone cloud. Its high affinity with the characteristics of source stone particles, Let it absorb a large amount of source stone particles to charge, and then fall under the action of gravity, turning into countless blue light rains and falling on the sea monsters.

The moment the arrow full of high-energy Originium particles comes into contact with the body fluid of the low-energy sea monster, it follows the basic principle of energy transfer from high to low, releasing the Originium energy. Countless pearl-sized bulges bulged, and then exploded with a bang.

"The first vanguard of sea monsters is wiped out!" A large part of the vanguard of the sea monster group charging towards Ziwu Town disappeared immediately, "Reload the next round!" The generals from the North Army of Shuofang Town raised their hands, indicating that the long-range troops continued Load weapons.

Dayan had been fighting with Haisi and demons for so many years, so it was impossible for him not to have weapons to deal with this kind of group of monsters, but it was not until the siege of the capital that he found them out of the arsenal.

The good news is that this kind of specialized equipment is not very useful, and it is still in the arsenal, no one steals it, no one takes it, and it is full of dust.

"The Quangang Fleet is preparing for a counter-attack!" Dayan's second macho fleet after the Yuegang Fleet finally arrived at the battlefield. They spent a lot of time in the south dealing with the sea monsters going south, but they finally arrived at the battlefield. Arrived before Meridian Town was destroyed.

The first is the scout ship classified as "walking boat".The Quancheng Fleet is different from Yuegang. They are equipped with fewer Shencannons and Shenguang cannons, and their funds are more... insufficient. However, they have found another way. Without large-caliber naval guns, they will use their full fire rate.

"Thug chug!" The Gatling-like thing on the bow began to make a deep spewing sound. Even though all the materials that increased the detonation velocity and gas expansion rate were used, the decrease in gas efficiency caused by the origin stone particles still remained. Greatly constrained the initial velocity of this kind of gunpowder weapon.

However, compared to things like crossbow arrows, the rate of fire of this thing is really fast. In just a short while, the coolant made a boiling sound, and a large number of arrow-shaped warheads sprayed on the flying sea monsters.

For those frivolous things that fly by airbags, no matter how low the penetration and power are, they will be torn to pieces on the spot. After cleaning up these flying units, the "fighting ships" who act as "pawns" begin to enter the battlefield.

The ancient ballistas combined with the individual weapons in the hands of the soldiers in the shooting pods cleared up a blank space again, allowing those tall ships equipped with Shenguang cannons to enter. The Quancheng Fleet focused more on group advancement. The battleships are equipped with thick anti-climbing skirt armor and front obstacle removal rollers.

Those structures like blood vessels and peristaltic organs left by Hai Si quickly shattered and festered between the metal bites, leaving only a scarlet road. The Quancheng Fleet was originally established to deal with Hai Si, but later because of Insufficient funds and funds, a sharp decline in combat effectiveness, coupled with some restrictions from the imperial court, made it almost impossible to fight in peacetime.

This means that their warships have been professionally designed and refitted against Haisi, and every entrance and possible firing port is equipped with anti-corrosion grids, which greatly prevent Haisi's venom and small individuals from running. Go in and fight the fleet soldiers in the street, while the soldiers inside can attack out through these narrow shooting holes.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the explosion-proof ability of this thing is not good, and a large number of fragments and internal reinforcement structures will quickly collapse when subjected to high-explosive bombardment, turning into a shotgun-like effect.

At the same time, the shooter's field of vision is very bad, and the accuracy is also very poor, but the question is, do you need accuracy to fight Haizi?When the dense black tide rushed over, there was no need to aim at it.

"Pour kerosene!" The hatch at the stern of the building ship and the fighting ship opened, and the shirtless burly man yelled and rolled a metal can to the stern and kicked it down, smashing a sea monster at the same time. , quickly rolled out as the ship moved forward.

The blocked plugs were torn open by centrifugal force, and the pungent-smelling kerosene flowed everywhere, while the rope at the end automatically pulled more cans out of the stern, one at a distance.

When the last jar was pulled out, the igniter fixed at the end also started counting down. With a sound of "嗤!", the red phosphorus touched the air and ignited, and instantly a fire snake rushed out along the soft cloth belt, mixing the A large amount of phosphorous kerosene was ignited, and a series of flame explosions appeared behind the ship, eventually turning into several flaming walls of fire.

Those sea monsters that couldn't stop and were nearby were directly stained by the phosphorous fire, and quickly turned into a pile of coke amidst the constant struggle and screams. The flames blocked the further attacks of Hai Si, and also prevented them from climbing up to these sea monsters from their tails. Landship's attempt.

"Nice job!" Lao Chen slapped the wall hard. These warships, which were scattered into several teams and crazily crushed and set fire everywhere on the battlefield, successfully dispersed all the sea monsters that had just assembled. To be honest, they really dealt with Haisi's experts, but if they nailed the ship in the gap under the huge political pressure that the Yuegang Fleet could not be destroyed, they would probably die even worse.

"It's really good, but..." The celestial master next to him hesitated to speak, these poisonous phosphorus fires are really useful, and the other party's decision-making is absolutely correct in military terms. hold on.

But the problem is that the city can be defended. Those who have been burned by poisonous phosphorus fire are the best places in the capital. I don’t know how many rich and powerful families have real estate and land there. If they are burned like this, the value of the land will be greatly reduced.

And looking at it this way, they burned in the same way on the southern plains. Those wealthy families in the south probably would not allow it. The reason why they were able to destroy it was because the capital was besieged and their letters could not be sent in. Gong Zhugong has no time to answer.

However, once this war is over and the military oppression is gone, it is easy to guess how those adults will deal with such a guy who burned nearly half of his assets.

However, that would not be settled immediately, after all how lax the capital's defenses are, and it is clear at a glance how capable these arrogant soldiers are. In the beginning, they will definitely repay their merits normally, offer rewards, make officials and make wishes, after that... ....Hey~ The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking!

"Light it up!" The Quancheng Fleet was not the only one who set it on fire, the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army also started to light it, and those poor shacks became the best kindling, "Poisonous phosphorus is enough!"

The little eunuch who took the emperor's warrant led them to break open the dusty gate of the arsenal of the capital, and all kinds of poisonous phosphorus and fire piled up inside, which made the emperor's face turn green when he knew it—his ancestors lived in a world where the Fourth World War He didn't know the situation on the ground, and he didn't know why they had to put so many ammunition under their buttocks.

However, he knew that if something happened to someone after so many years, the entire capital would immediately turn into an artificial volcano. The news, not to mention the emperor, the relatives of the emperor, high-ranking officials and nobles would also be able to hear the news. Ruthless, power can stop most disasters, but it cannot stop fire and water disasters.

Therefore, these poisonous phosphorus fires were sent to the defense line immediately, as long as they don't stay in the arsenal, and stay in the lower layer of the city module, under everyone's buttocks.

Feeling the urgency of the monster attacking the city, the local residents also helped to make a large number of simple trebuchets, throwing these poisonous phosphorus fire barrels.

The amount of ammunition that Dayan has accumulated for hundreds of years is quite terrifying. The entire city burned for a whole day, and the flames shot straight into the sky. Even at noon, it seemed like dusk. side cover.

As for the civilians and survivors outside the city who survived the Haisi invasion and military disaster, they don’t care so much. Fortunately, the troops still have a way to survive hiding in the cellar, but most of them were either smoked to death or burned to death. They even jumped into places like water tanks in a panic and were boiled alive

.In addition to the poisonous phosphorus fire, they also found the flame-throwing weapons made by the ancestors of Dayan, but most of them were in disrepair for a long time, and they could only bring out some of the better quality, and selected a few warriors who were not afraid of death to take them and prepare to burn them at any time A cluster of sea monsters.

In contrast, the fire-breathing weapons of the Quancheng Fleet were relatively well maintained. After the battleships rushed into the sea monster frontline camp, the side skirts that had been put down all the time were removed, revealing the large mechanical water presses and jets inside. mouth, and then several fire dragons tens of meters long and several meters wide entangled the mobile hatching nests of those Hai Si.

The flames quickly evaporated the body fluids, and the stench of black smoke rose along the withered and broken "vine"-like fleshy structure. "Oh!" Before the breach, drive the poisonous phosphorus rocket into the back of this layer of fireproof and heat-resistant ceramic structure.

As the largest hatching nest collapsed, the sea monsters began to scatter and lose their organization, and then it was time to send a small force to clean it up.

It's just that the siege of the capital was barely relaxed, because there were more sea descendants on the way to the east and north. If the other Haisi are out of touch, the difficulty of the siege of the capital will increase several times.

This is not the first time that Dayan has called King Qin's army, but it is definitely the first time that Dayan has called King Qin's army in the past hundred years. With the last bit of credit capital left by the past emperors, the little emperor will not become Zhou Zhou at last. King You was second—after all, this was the first time he lit a beacon, and the garrisons who came to King Qin did not find out that they had been deceived.

Due to the large amount of rewards received by King Qin's army in the past, to be honest, regardless of most of the combat power, the speed and enthusiasm of the garrisons and various legions in various places are still very high.

The capital is besieging the city, and King Qin came here, even if he can't get the merit of Fengtian Jingnan, he can be made a duke, but the credit of being a marquis can still be mixed.

In the past few times, whether it was the invasion of evil spirits, the troubles of year-old beasts, or the expedition to the East, the great Yan emperors have indeed fulfilled the promised rewards by tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, so, this time The generals and the various armies are still barely obedient - of course, whether the combat power is enough to get the credit is another matter, at least they did come, and they did go into battle, didn't they?

If this time, the emperor of Dayan does not use any means to cash in on this credit, even if he only cashes in [-]%, then his descendants will still have soldiers from the whole country to help them when they light the beacon next time. No, or only [-]% to [-]% cash, then there will be no next time. [Emperors of the Tang Dynasty after Suzong were deeply touched]

In fact, from the perspective of ruling art, it is reasonable to cash in [-]% to [-]%. Firstly, the burden on the imperial court is not so big. Come, if all cash in, it is easy to appear the Imperial Guard succession law. After all, everyone has contributed , are a group of upstarts, and the asking price for the next rescue will be even higher.

However, cashing in [-]% to [-]% will not make people feel chilling, and because the emperor still owes a portion of the money, even for this arrears, the military leaders must be loyal, otherwise, if someone else goes up, this IOU What to do?

However, if you only pay [-] to [-]%, then there will be "If you don't give it, then we have to take it ourselves." Even if Dayan hasn't reached the level of the warlord separatism in Usas, after that, these generals will not be so commanding. Obedient.

But the question now is: can the emperor afford the money?The direct problem brought about by this problem is that although Haisi has retreated for the time being, there is not much to worry about as there are more Haisi on the way, because King Qin's army is still coming one after another—but after the battle The question of where the reward came from made the emperor sleepless all night.

No money?Without money, even an army like Kazdel is very difficult to move. Even if the soldiers don’t say anything, they can bear it mentally, but they can’t bear it physically—then again, Kazdel Such an army was raised with more money, okay?

It seems that they didn't spend much money just because they removed the water that was floating in the middle and drinking the soldiers' blood. If you really want to count the soldiers' personal and actual military expenditures, their expenditures are at least excluding those few elite troops. More than three times the regular standing army.

The little emperor read the information about the battle between Kazdel and Letania that came from the Dragon Gate all night, and wanted to know why the neighbor didn't reward the general after winning the battle, but instead started to discipline the whole army Review and rectification, the army has not yet rebelled.

In the end, when I read it with sincerity, I didn't see anything, just between the lines, I saw a word crookedly, "poor!"

Dayan is not poor, but he, the emperor of Dayan, is poor. If you want to talk about luxury, wine and beauty, the gold in his internal treasury is enough for him to spend several lifetimes, but he has to take it out to reward the army... He has been calculating for a long time , I took out the last copper plate in my treasury and gave everyone a red envelope of less than 20 yuan.

The only good news is that this war consumes the weapons and ammunition stored over the years, and he does not need to buy them for the time being, but counts on the treasury to allocate funds... The treasury is also empty enough to run a rat, okay?

"It's sloppy!" I knew I shouldn't have sent the Yuegang Fleet to fill in the line. However, there was a reason for the emperor to send him. After all, the governor was a model of loyalty, bravery and patriotism. When it comes to war, it is natural to choose to send this confidant and the trustworthy Yuegang Fleet to stand up.

The so-called good man should keep the gun pointed. If Lao Shi behaved as rebellious as Shuofang Town, he would not be sent to fill in the line.

"Where did this Kazdel get so much money?" When he first received the restructuring proposal from Lao Chen, the emperor wondered if it was because Wei was connoting himself. After a closer look, he found that it was Kazdel's military system. Just a little relieved, and then his new question is:

Where did these Sarkaz people get so much money?It can't be stolen, can it?

The Yan people never discriminate against people of any race in Terra, whether it is the Sarkaz or the bird people of Sakota, they are all the same in their eyes-don’t get me wrong, they are not targeting anyone, they just feel that they are here It's all rubbish!

Garbage and garbage naturally do not distinguish between high and low, because of this wonderful and simple thinking of equality, so when Emperor Yan looked at the military policy and military system of the Sarkaz people, he did not have the contempt of the Victorian nobles at all, but seriously researched a bit.

The results of the research did not come out, but a brand new doubt arose: "These Sarkaz people have a way of making money, but unfortunately, I don't know what the secret method is." The emperor sighed regretfully.

Every soldier in Kazdel is a pure full-time professional soldier, and he drills very diligently, and often holds military exercises, and the weapons made of real gold and silver are consumed in the exercises like this-it is arrogant!

As for the standard of food for a single soldier, the emperor was even speechless. How much money could they afford to eat this way?I calculated habitually, and found that every Kazdel soldier’s daily food is equivalent to almost 4 Longmen coins (actually none, only 1/8 of the cost of Longmen coins, and the old Xia’s agricultural products are cheap). Meals, if there is no subsidy for fighting stoves, 1400 Longmen coins will go out.

Not counting the additional expenses of the officers, it is all the main soldiers. A regiment of 1 people has a daily food expenditure of 1400 million Longmen coins a year, which brings in the current military strength of Dayan... 280 billion food expenses per year .

The emperor's eyes were dark on the spot. The annual military expenditure is enough for three years. What about the soldiers?What about military pay?What about the reward for winning a battle?What about the daily rewards during the New Year's Eve?Even if there is no king in Kazdel, these behaviors still exist under different names. After all, soldiers are human beings and not machines that can operate at rated power.

Chapter 35 Mystery Cube

The soldiers and generals of Letania no longer wanted to continue fighting in this quagmire, but the politicians in Letania still asked them to hold the current control area and refused to make peace with Kazdel.

This is not purely a matter of face, but has very practical reasons. If it is only a conventional battle that is violently beaten, then Letania may choose to negotiate a peace or a temporary ceasefire, but if it is attacked by a man-made natural disaster, then in the Before you are sure that you have the ability to fight back or restrain yourself, you will not retreat.

The reason is the same as why when the opponent uses nuclear weapons, the best way is to rush up and hang with the opponent. Although it is not clear what witchcraft those demons used, at least one thing they can be sure of is that That is, the opponent cannot trigger this effect out of thin air.

No matter what kind of witchcraft those demons use, there must be a medium, a process, constrained by the basic laws of reality, it is impossible to spread the capital of Letania thousands of miles away, Then if the front line retreats, then Kazdel can directly launch this weapon or witchcraft to the territory of Letania.

Conversely, if the current control area continues to be maintained, then Kazdel can only bombard his own land with natural disaster weapons. It is better to fight on other people's land than in his own home, right?

"When will such a bad day be the end!" The sky has begun to snow lightly, and on the battlefield far away from Dayan, the poisonous fire is running there, and the roasted people are sweating profusely, as if they are in a sea of ​​​​flames. The poisonous smoke and flames of burning sea monsters.

On Kazdel's side, it was the bone-piercing cold. It seemed that their enemies were not in a hurry to push forward. They just stationed in the distance, watched, and waited for the severe cold to completely bury the Letanians. on this land.

However, the logistics of the Leitanians who returned to the vicinity of the starting point were not as embarrassing as they were at the beginning. Compared with the real "General Winter" on Ursus, they at least still had enough fuel and thick coats. Barely sufficient food and a fairly warm and strong bunker and mobile station.

However, compared to the real barbarians on Ursus, Sarkaz on the opposite side looks like a well-trained modern army, which can be seen from the opponent's field kitchen.Letania's logistics is not bad in all fairness, although it is not up to the level of Colombia, but it is a completely different concept compared with Ursas's livestock that eat moss and wheat mud cakes.

They have a field kitchen that serves meals uniformly, including those who are infected. This is not a preferential treatment, but it is more cost-effective to provide uniform meals. However, the food that this field kitchen can provide is still very limited.

The better meals must be taken by the officers and the main force, and the rest are ordinary troops. As for the infected, they can eat whatever is left in the kitchen, but, anyway, it is better than Ursus' mud cake many.

But it is much worse than the field meal of the Sarkaz people on the opposite side. "What good food on the other side today?" An infected soldier crawled in from outside the trench, jumped into the trench, his face was full of a ghost expression, "Damn it, they're eating fruitcake today."

"Huh?" Not only the infected soldiers gathered around, but even the ordinary soldiers who theoretically supervised the battle all pricked up their ears, "What do they eat? Fruitcake? Here?" When you stretch out your hand, there will be fine snow falling, this The weather has a hammer fruit, as for the cake......

"What kind of festival are they celebrating or are they celebrating victory?" This reason is plausible. After all, even the impoverished imperialist Japan can use this reason to distribute small cakes and biscuits, pretending to have won a battle—here , The opponent really won the battle, and it's normal to celebrate.

"Uh, I don't know, but it shouldn't be a celebration." After all, those Sarkaz people showed hesitant expressions on their faces, and they seemed not so happy.

"Aren't you happy to eat fruitcake?"

"Wait, aren't they going to attack right away? Is this the meal for cutting off your head?" After saying this, everyone immediately became nervous. Although they occasionally crawled over to a few partners, they usually wouldn't say anything. But when it came to fighting, those Sarkaz were deadly vicious.

Meanwhile, on Kazdel's side, "Fruit is nice, but this..." is technically a fruitcake, but it actually looks like a fruitcake and tastes like a fruitcake, too. But there is neither egg nor cake, except that the fruit may be real.
