Chapter 1791 Cleaning the battlefield
"Dadao, take your battalion to the front to guard. This time, bring all the tiger crouching cannons to prevent the Japanese pirates from returning."
"The rest of the people, Step forward and clean up the battlefield. Kill all the Japanese pirates who are not dead and behead them. We don’t need prisoners! Repeat, kill all the Japanese pirates who are not dead and behead them. We don’t need prisoners!”
“I don’t know when the Japanese pirates will return. It’s too late to dig a hole to bury the Japanese pirates’ corpses. I cut down the trees and set up five fire racks, piled the Japanese pirates’ corpses on them, and burned them. , so as not to breed the plague."
After the Japanese pirates retreated, Zhu Pingan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, with special emphasis on taking no prisoners and leaving no survivors.
The Japanese pirates were full of crimes and deserved to die.
Even if you want to recover the Japanese pirate, you must first use thunder to break his spine and kill him until he is frightened.
In Zhu Pingan's view, it is not yet the time to recover the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates will not surrender. Now is the time to annihilate the Japanese pirates. We must attack the Japanese pirates hard on the battlefield and fight a few beautiful battles. A brutal war of extermination.
After that, the combination of suppression and appeasement was considered.
While cleaning the battlefield, many Zhejiang soldiers made retching sounds. The scene was too tragic.
The Japanese pirates at the center of the thirty wine jars and gunpowder were all blown to pieces, with limbs and legs broken, and their flesh and blood were bloody.
Fortunately, we are soldiers under your command, not your enemies. All the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army thought so. .
While the Zhejiang army officers were cleaning the battlefield, Zhu Pingan first visited the wounded soldiers.
In this battle, because the Japanese pirates never broke through the battlefield, the Zhejiang army did not kill anyone, but they also injured more than 60 people.
More than 30 people were injured by the Japanese pirates, and the injuries were not serious; 16 people were injured by gunfire blasts, five of which were slightly more seriously injured, but none of them were life-threatening; Five others were injured by the lead and iron pellets that shot out when the gunpowder exploded in the wine jar. Fortunately, the Zhejiang army was far away and the cotton armor covered a large area, so the injuries were not serious.
"Lead pellets and iron pellets are soaked in venom, be patient, disinfect with high-strength liquor first, and apply the antidote externally or internally."
When Zhu Pingan visited the wounded soldiers, he repeatedly warned them.
In order to pursue maximum lethality against Japanese pirates, the iron pellets and lead pellets in the wine jar gunpowder were soaked in poison.
As long as the Japanese pirates were hit by bullets, without an antidote, they would just wait for the poison to develop and die. Just now, as long as the Japanese pirates who ran back from the front were injured, they would count as one. Even though they were jumping around now, the King of Hell had already scheduled their KPI.
Of course, in order to prevent accidental injury to his own people, Zhu Ping'an had already prepared the antidote. As long as the antidote is applied externally or internally, the injury will not be a problem.
When visiting the wounded soldiers, Zhu Pingan personally applied secret wound medicine to several wounded soldiers, bandaged their wounds, and expressed cordial condolences to them. He told the gangtou barracks to cook some chicken soup every day to supplement the nutrition of the wounded soldiers so that they could recover as soon as possible.
The wounded soldiers were deeply moved.
After visiting the wounded soldiers, Zhu Pingan went to the front of the battle without stopping to see how the battlefield was being cleaned.
“Sir, the Japanese pirates who were still alive on the battlefield, as well as hundreds of people, were all executed according to your order. Many of them tried to resist, but our people worked in pairs to make up for it. Knife, no chance for them to take advantage of."
Reported by Liu Muhui.
"Well, very good." Zhu Pingan nodded and asked, "How many Japanese pirate heads have been captured?"
"Hui Gongzi, we have captured a total of 5,475 heads this time. The heads of Japanese pirates and the power of gunpowder in wine jars It was so big that the nearby Japanese pirates were blown to pieces, and there was no way to find their heads. Otherwise, hundreds of more heads would have been added."
Liu Mu reported with excitement, this is a surprise. A huge victory, an unprecedented victory.
Since the Japanese pirates broke out in this dynasty, I have never heard of that battle, in which more than 6,000 Japanese pirate heads were captured in one battle.
This is the first time.
It is unbelievable that the Zhejiang army only had 2,000 men, but it captured the heads of more than 5,000 Japanese pirates. This was a great victory with less than many.
"Unfortunately, in addition to the seven or eight hundred Japanese pirates who finally escaped from the battle, there were hundreds of Japanese pirates who pretended to be dead on the battlefield. When the Japanese pirate army retreated, they also got up and ran away. In addition, there were Some injured Japanese pirates also struggled to run a lot. If we had caught up with them, they would not have been able to escape."
Liu Mu finally said with regret.
The Japanese pirates attacked the formation in two rounds. In the first round, they dispatched more than 2,000 Japanese pirates. In the second round, they dispatched 4,000 Japanese pirates. Later, they added more than 4,000 reinforcements. There were also many murderous Japanese pirates who spontaneously Reinforcements
After a series of big explosions, almost all the Japanese pirates on the battlefield were wiped out.
In the end, seven to eight hundred Japanese pirates escaped before the battle, and hundreds more pretended to be dead on the battlefield. When the Japanese pirate army retreated, they also got up and ran away. In addition, there were injured Japanese pirates on the battlefield. Their legs were injured in the big explosion. Ah's body was hit by bullets and he fell to the ground screaming, but he was not dead. When the Japanese pirates retreated, he struggled and ran a lot.
At that time, Liu Muyou suggested to catch up and leave the Japanese pirates running behind.
However, Zhu Pingan did not agree.
Don’t chase the poor criminals!
Although the Japanese pirates suffered considerable losses, the main force is still there, and there are still 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese pirates. Once the Japanese pirates turn around, it will be dangerous. In the wild, without the protection of low walls and positions, the Zhejiang army was really no match for the Japanese pirates.
Even with the protection of the low wall and the position, if it were not for the miraculous work of the thirty wine jars and gunpowder, the Japanese pirates would have rushed into the position. Of course, it was also because Zhu Pingan suppressed and did not use the Crouching Tiger Cannon to induce the Japanese pirates to go crazy. , but even if he used the squatting tiger cannon, Zhu Pingan knew that it would not be easy to defeat the Japanese pirates.
Firstly, because the number of squatting tiger cannons is small, secondly, because the loading of squatting tiger cannons is slower than that of fire guns, and thirdly, because of the limitation of quality, the squatting tiger cannon needs to cool down the barrel after firing several shots in a row. Otherwise it will explode.
If it weren't for the meritorious service of the wine altar and gunpowder, the Zhejiang army would have to pay a heavy price to repel the Japanese pirates' offensive this time.
"Haha, don't be too greedy. Being able to capture the heads of more than 5,000 Japanese pirates in one battle this time is also a lot of luck."
Zhu Pingan patted Liu Mu on the shoulder, Smiled slightly.
"Hehe, that's right." Liu Mu couldn't help but smile. This time there was indeed a lot of luck.
If the Japanese pirates had not underestimated the enemy and been more cautious when attacking the formation, the gunpowder buried in the wine jar would not have been so hidden. The dust on it was still different from the surrounding ground, and there was also the buried gunpowder. The leads are relatively easy to spot if you look carefully. It's so obvious, it's so long.
Especially when lighting the gunpowder fuse, Liu Mu's nervous palms were sweating. When the gunpowder fuse lit and burned rapidly forward, it was quite conspicuous. Mu was afraid that the Japanese pirates would find out, so he cut off the gunpowder fuse before the explosion.
Fortunately, the Japanese pirates underestimated the enemy and made great achievements in building the gunpowder and wine altar. (End of this chapter)
