The army that was surrounded in Dawangzhuang was really suffering. Dozens of people were starving to death and dying of thirst every day. It was so miserable.
Of course, these people did not sit still and wait for death. Every day, a group of people wanted to rush out, but the firepower of the suppressing army was too strong, and few of the soldiers who charged returned alive.
Over time, these people also realized that if they stayed in Dawangzhuang honestly, they might be able to save their lives, but if they rushed out casually, they would definitely have a narrow chance of death.
The original plan was to detain these people and let the leaseholders negotiate with me. Now that the concessions in both countries have been robbed, there is no need to keep these people.
"Wang Laosi, don't say that I won't give you a chance. The candidates for the division commanders of the two infantry divisions have not yet been determined. You didn't have the chance to go to the battlefield before. Now you look at the time and the battle ends within two hours. I will consider giving you a chance."
You are a teacher."
Wang Laosi, who had just come from the capital, was eager to give it a try, but he didn't expect Gao Shaoyi to give him the main attack task.
"Master Marquis, Lao Si's army has not been on the battlefield for two hours..."
Boss Wang looked at his younger brother worriedly.
The four brothers were all the best in the army back then, and the old Marquis also took a fancy to their talents, and of course their loyalty was first-rate, so he kept these four brothers by his side.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I'm willing to give it a try."
Compared with Wang Laosi and Wang Laoer, Wang Laosi is taciturn, but Gao Shaoyi can see that if we talk about generals, all four of their brothers are about the same, but if we talk about handsome talents, Wang Laosi must be more than three of them.
elder brother.
"The stage is given to you."
Gao Shaoyi tightened his clothes, and then sat on his seat to see how Wang Laosi captured Dawangzhuang with 5,000 men, and 5,000 new soldiers.
His three brothers all looked at this guy anxiously. Speaking of which, among the four brothers, this boy was the only one who had never been to the front line.
"The general of the Marquis has ordered that you surrender and avoid death."
What surprised everyone was that this guy did not arrange artillery bombing or infantry attack. Instead, he asked more than thirty cavalry to ride around Dawangzhuang and yell.
hehe……
When Gao Shaoyi saw what this guy did, he knew that this guy was by no means an easy man. He was really smart enough to be able to use the remaining power of the suppression army in the past few days to force some of the enemy troops in Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang to surrender.
In fact, many foreigners in the two villages have long wanted to surrender. They have no food or drink every day, and there are no reinforcements. If they continue to stay here, they may have to do it alone.
A few days ago, some people wanted to surrender, but the problem was that the suppressing troops refused to let them go. No matter what you ran out to do, you were shot back with a volley of gunfire. Now that they finally surrendered, hundreds of people came out immediately.
.
With the withdrawal of the three armies of the Windsor Empire, the soldiers inside have long been powerless to resist, and there are still about 4,000 people left.
"Throw away your weapons and let us see your hands."
The soldiers of the Suppression Army also raised their pistols. If anyone made any other moves at this time, they would shoot immediately.
According to what the Marquis said, the ten lives of you people are not worth as much as one of our lives.
The originally arrogant coalition soldiers could not care so much now. Some soldiers even took off their clothes in order to survive, fearing that they would be misunderstood by the soldiers of the suppressing army and delay their surrender.
"Water, give us some water..."
The first request made by the coalition soldiers who came over was for water. There has been no water source for four days, and all of them looked sallow and thin.
The soldiers of the Suppression Army threw their military kettles over. After the coalition soldiers from Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang saw it, a larger group of people began to run down.
Just now, they thought it was the people of the Suppression Army who were trying to lure them to surrender. Now that they saw people drinking water outside, they couldn't help it anymore. The source of water drove them to run out unnaturally.
Dalit saw everything in the distance and knew that he could no longer order the remaining people. This guy also wanted to end it all as soon as possible. He was a spoiled man and he had suffered enough in the past few days.
The bark of the trees in the yard is all eaten up.
Wang Laosi captured Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang without any blood, which really made Gao Shaoyi look upon him with admiration. Although the members of the Fourth Regiment were not allowed to practice, subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the highest state of war.
Who knew that only half an hour had passed in the originally mentioned two hours? At least more than half of the coalition soldiers had run out. The remaining people inside were all problematic, either with murder cases on their bodies or...
They killed people in Dawangzhuang. They knew the policy of suppressing the captives, and running out would never bring good results. They tried to rely on the remaining buildings to resist.
"Three cardinal numbers."
Wang Laosi observed the surroundings and found that there were about five or six hundred people left, distributed in two villages. If he sent his own soldiers in, there might be some casualties, so he would just use artillery fire to hit them.
That’s it.
After a burst of artillery fire, there were not many people left inside, but Wang Laosi did not send anyone in immediately.
According to him, this place has lost its strategic significance, leaving an infantry company of soldiers to continue the siege. They will come out one after another in three or two days. If soldiers are sent in at this time, even if one soldier is injured or killed, it will be distressing.
"You really have a way with me."
Gao Shaoyi patted this guy's shoulder. He felt very happy to see an alternative character in the army.
"The Marquis always tells us that there are zero casualties. Although I know that there can be no true zero casualties, if we try to reduce the injuries to our brothers, this is actually a victory."
When the body of the first sacrificed soldier was transported back to the capital, Wang Laosi took charge of the matter. At that time, his mood could be said to be mixed.
In the past, he didn't understand what the Marquis meant by zero casualties. Only when he saw the broken families one after another did he understand the importance of zero casualties. If we can't achieve absolutely zero casualties, then we should try to reduce the brothers' casualties as much as possible.
Number of casualties.
When Wang Laosi said this, some other generals were also thinking, maybe our previous thinking was wrong.
Taking the current situation as an example, there is no need to send troops to attack.
Maybe we can win quickly enough, but we will have to suffer at least one or two hundred casualties on our side.
Now, although we have a few more days, we have truly achieved zero casualties...??
