After all, the Suppression Army did not rush forward because they had received the order long ago. Their opponent was the 20,000 chaotic cavalry in front of them, not the Huns and Rakshasa military camps behind them.
That place has already left the protection range of the artillery. If it is surrounded, we will be the ones who suffer. It is obviously a victory, but we don't want it to be a defeat.
"Oh, look, look, the cavalry brothers are really doing great today! They have achieved such a great victory in their first battle, so we can only hold down the battle from behind."
Boss Wang found a high place to stand and said, he could see more clearly here. In less than four hours, all the Huns cavalry had been collected, although some of them still ran out.
Yes, but at least 10,000 prisoners must be captured.
"Don't say so many weird things with your mouth. In the end, we have to rely on you to win. There are not many chances for the cavalry to fight."
Gao Shaoyi also used a telescope to see the situation ahead. After today's battle, the combat effectiveness of our cavalry brigade has basically been exposed. As long as Prince Kangying doesn't grow his head to his buttocks, I'm afraid he won't send cavalry alone to fight in the future.
.
"Then I will ask our infantry to take advantage of the situation and kill them now?"
Boss Wang jumped down from the mound and waited for Gao Shaoyi to speak.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not time yet. Hurry up and order your soldiers to go over and escort all these prisoners back to me. The cavalry is very precious and is not used to escort prisoners."
Gao Shaoyi's words made Boss Wang very uncomfortable. Is this what our infantrymen do together?
Although I didn't feel very happy, I also knew that what Gao Shaoyi said was true. When the cavalry looked at the prisoners, there might be something they couldn't see, and the infantry was more careful.
"Reporting to the Marquis, the cavalry brigade went into battle for the first time and defeated 20,000 Huns cavalry, killing more than 1,000 people and capturing more than 10,000 people. Our army suffered more than 400 casualties and captured more than 10,000 horses."
Wen Zheng came back first with a few people. The figures were not very precise, but generally they were not much different.
"Approximately how many people died in the artillery attack?"
Gao Shaoyi knew that the cavalry brigade did not kill many people when it passed by, but the previous artillery killed a lot of people.
"There must be at least about three thousand people."
Wen Zheng made a rough estimate. After all, he had not counted the dead bodies on the ground.
Four to five thousand people ran back...
It was still within the acceptable range. Of course Gao Shaoyi knew that it was impossible to arrest everyone, especially since these people were riding horses and running very fast on the grassland.
"What do you think of these Huns' cavalry?"
The soldiers below were cleaning the battlefield, and Gao Shaoyi also wanted to chat with his cousin.
"They have superb chess skills, and the bows and arrows they fired when we approached them were very lethal. If there is a similar battlefield next time, I think I will adopt another tactic."
Wen Zheng also made a summary of his actions just now. Although he has achieved a great victory, hundreds of people were killed and injured after all. With various weapons and equipment crushing the opponent, Wen Zheng considered such casualties to be a failure.
"You didn't use the spears the soldiers had, did you?"
Gao Shaoyi's words made Wen Zheng's heart skip a beat. His cousin really saw things thoroughly. He originally thought that only a general like himself who led troops on an expedition could sum it up. Unexpectedly, his cousin just stood behind and took a look.
Know where their biggest mistakes were.
"If a salvo is fired at the range of a long gun, the opponent's will to resist will definitely be reduced a lot, and the casualties of our soldiers will also be greatly reduced."
When discussing military matters, Wen Zheng was obviously more relaxed than usual.
"Then you summarize all this. When you get to the training camp later, you can conduct a drill in the past two days to see which method is more appropriate. After all, there are so many prisoners, and you can also test it properly.
"
Gao Shaoyi pointed to the dark prisoners in the distance.
These people can not only help us with our work, but also serve as our imaginary enemies. Of course, Gao Shaoyi cannot directly kill prisoners, but if there are some of the most evil people among you, then don't blame me for being rude.
, our knives are also very sharp.
"Master Marquis, do you want to keep them?"
Wen Zheng said incredulously.
"Did you hear something just now?"
Gao Shaoyi estimated that Wen Zheng also knew some things on the grassland. When the princes on the grassland rebelled, the Daqian Dynasty still had some troops stationed on the grassland. At that time, these people directly rushed into the military camp, and it was stipulated that all men taller than a wheel should be killed.
.
According to Wen Zheng's idea, now that we have returned, we should avenge those soldiers, otherwise we will be sorry for their heroic spirits in heaven.
"My subordinates want to kill them."
Almost all tens of thousands of Daqian Empire's garrison troops were slaughtered by these people, so Wen Zheng almost bit his lip when he spoke.
"Then think about it in another way. Killing them now will not do us any good, nor will it do any good to the dead soldiers. You can count the names of the dead soldiers now, and let these prisoners replace them in the future.
They support their families."
Gao Shaoyi is not a murderous person, but he is definitely not a kind-hearted person.
"Let the captives support the family?"
Obviously Wen Zheng did not understand what Gao Shaoyi meant.
"These people will have no freedom for the rest of their lives, but they can get half the salary of ordinary people. Of course, this half of the salary will not be paid to them. They only need to be given some food and water every day. The salary they earn must be given to
In other words, the families of those fallen soldiers are now slaves. When the war breaks out, they work for the army and the country. After the war, they are sent back to the mainland and directly to the market."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, Wen Zheng immediately had a clear thought in his mind.
These guys look very strong, and they are just right to sell to those businessmen. They only need to pay half the money every month, and the working hours of the day can be extended indefinitely. I believe those businessmen will snap up these guys. When the time comes, not only
The army can earn more, and it will also give some to the families of those killed in action. This is equivalent to cutting both sides of the problem, and is definitely better than killing these people.
"Just wait and work hard for the rest of your life!"
