Liu Zhiyuan sat at the head of Niuzhuang City, drinking tea leisurely, and the two personal soldiers behind him were fanning him unhurriedly, all looking very relaxed.
In his own city, there were originally 30,000 defenders, but after more than ten days of fighting, under the enemy's sharp firearms, nearly 10,000 were also lost, but the damage he gave to the enemy was definitely not less than 8,000.
What kind of goods are his nearly 10,000 subordinates are just a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes, and what they put into them is just some knives and guns, as well as three full meals, plus five catties of food for their families every day, which already makes them grateful to Dade, because in the case, they can eat enough, and they can exchange five catties of food for their families, so that the family can tighten their belts, and they can also save their lives, what a great kindness this is And the casualties of nearly 10,000 soldiers, in fact, did not pay much, those who died in the war were given five taels of silver, and those who were disabled were given three taels, this is still Liu Zhiyuan in order to buy people's hearts, put it in any army of the Manchu Qing Empire, and if you die in battle, you are considered unlucky, and if you are disabled, then you are even more unlucky, and there is no pension allowance at all.
These ant-like people, in fact, they are the most unpleasant, but they have paid a small price, and what they get is that their subordinates are desperate to work for themselves, and every time they distribute the money to the families of those who died in battle, the morale of their army is higher once, and these actions of their own are really sometimes surprising, because after distributing the pension silver and five catties of food a day, There are many young people who asked to join their team to participate in the battle to defend the city, this is the result that Liu Zhiyuan never expected, as soon as everyone heard that they were going to be soldiers, it was too late to escape, where were there those who volunteered to participate in the war Such a result can only be attributed to one point, that is, in this troubled world, people's lives are as cheap as grass, and only three taels of silver can buy a living life, and that life is born with great difficulty by parents, and it is raised with hard work, at this time, for this meagre three taels of silver, three full meals a day, five catties of grain, and some are sold to themselves, and they are ridiculous when they think about it, and the cost is too low.
Compared with his own low cost, the enemy on the other side was much more painful, and Lu Hanqiang's rules were already known in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
His soldier's treatment is simply outrageous, the monthly salary of 2125 silver is definitely paid in full, not to mention the direct deduction of food and clothing expenses, etc., and those are extra, just his soldiers eat, drink and wear at least one or two silver a month, just the cost of food and clothing, is the Ming Dynasty middle family, the family's entire expenses for a month.
There is also the eye-popping pension, which is simply an astronomical amount, so calculated, the cost of Lu Hanqiang for each soldier is enough to raise fifty soldiers for himself.
"Then let's go on like this, I use 50,000 people to consume your 10,000 horses, I have already earned it, and when I use 100,000 horses to consume your 20,000 horses, I think you will definitely not be able to bear it, this is the interest that you Lu Hanqiang has been talking about, since you are an out-and-out philistine villain, then you will definitely calculate this account, and when the time comes, the victory will belong to me."
For victory, Liu Zhiyuan is already full of confidence, because judging from the development of the entire battle situation, the opposite side is a reckless and stupid guy.
At the beginning, their attacks still had an eye, and the attack methods that were and did not have in various military books were endless, but for their methods, for a veteran who has been defending the city since the Ming Dynasty, it was simply a pediatric, and it was easy to crack their attacks.
Especially he is an artilleryman, and he is familiar with the use of artillery, but he is not lacking here is all kinds of artillery, the red-clothed cannon is far away, then kill and injure the enemy at a distance, the tiger gun is light and dexterous, so that it can swim around to fight those enemy longbowmen, the Fran cannon has a fast and accurate rate of fire, so that you can aim at the enemy's gunpowder car, that thing is accurate one by one, and as long as it hits, the power of the huge gunpowder car explosion, which makes people happy.
When they were competing with each other in this way, the war had lasted for more than ten days, and as time went by, the enemy had become more and more obviously chaotic, and attacking the city every day was simply a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and it was simply nonsense.
It's good to mess around, fighting is not a game, this is a good thing, it shows that the enemy's general is in turmoil, he is close to the edge of madness, when the two armies are facing each other, the commander of the first army is distraught, irritable and irritable, and their faint tricks are more and more, and from the last few days, the morale of the enemy's soldiers has fallen to the extreme, and when fighting, it is also perfunctory, judging from the whole situation, the enemy's soldiers have begun to be war-weary, and have begun to express their anger at their commander, if this situation continues, Maybe one day there will be turmoil in the enemy's barracks, and the angry soldiers will slaughter their commander, and it will be a great show.
When the leisurely Liu Zhiyuan was thinking nonsense, he suddenly heard a tsunami-like roar from the opponent's position, and at the beginning of the battle, the oath of not abandoning and not giving up sounded again in the enemy's camp, sonorous and powerful, listening, it made people chill.
Dropping the teacup suddenly, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly got up, rushed to the battlement in a few steps, and looked out from the gap between the anti-arrow shed and the battlement built at the head of the city, only to see the enemy's camp stirring up again, row after row of longbowmen, once again from the position to their own city wall, those longbowmen, most of them have been wounded, wrapped in bloody gauze, but their faces are calm and resolute, with a momentum of seeing death as home, firmly close to their city wall, and this time on the giant arrow in their hands, It was tied to a two-pound, cavalry explosives bag unique to the Liao Army.
"What are they going to do, do they want to use this longbow to shoot explosives packs into the city" Liu Zhiyuan was confused, the power of the longbow he had been taught, that thing had a long range and strong penetration, if he hadn't come up with the idea of building a roof on the city, as long as the other party made a covering shot, then the soldiers in these cities would be dead, but since he had this canopy, the power of the enemy's longbow was completely suppressed, and it almost had no effect.
But this time, when he saw the small explosive bag tied to the huge long arrow, Liu Zhiyuan's pupils shrank, as if he was rushing to perish and walking towards him. t1706231537:
