From the perspective of sin, Zhao Xi can be said to have committed a serious sin this time.
Fortunately, there was no convention or humanitarian proposal at this time, otherwise just a gathering point would have made him, the king, the target of thousands of people.
Because, the Pathfinder team is not polite at all.
The attack and killing began in the middle of Hai hour. When nearly two hundred people sneaked into the gathering point, the killing began.
The years of tranquility at the gathering point have made these survivors forget the need to be vigilant, and even those sentry posts are in vain for the pathfinder team.
In fact, killing is not a comfortable thing. Even these soldiers who are called Shacai don't like to do such a thing. Because they are not fighting, but assassinating easily, facing defenseless and powerless people.
Rebels are the same.
"There are thousands of dead bodies, and it will be very troublesome to deal with them in the end. We only have two or three hundred people, and there are no civilians here to recruit..."
As the attack unfolded, Gao Jingting and Zhong Jianzhong led their teams to form a symbolic encirclement around the gathering point, preparing to hunt down those who slipped through the net.
Gao Jingting has been finishing the journey, hiding the traces of the first four teams, and has always had the habit of thinking about the aftermath. Looking at the gathering point, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. It is too troublesome to deal with the dead body, and the soldiers may be directly behind him.
, they have to keep this channel clean.
"If it doesn't work, just use firearms. Just use firearms to flatten this area!"
Zhong Jianzhong is also aware of this problem. Once all the people at the gathering point are killed, these dead bodies must be disposed of, and the best way is to bury them. Since it is buried, it is better to blow them up with gunpowder...
ยทยทยท
"Let's just use gunpowder! With the carrying capacity of five squads, it is estimated that one squad can blow this place up. Anyway, houses like theirs can't be used as barracks."
"Are you sure we will build the military camp on the dead bodies?"
"Not necessarily. For such a large area, mark this area and choose another military camp."
The joking conversation between Gao Jingting and Zhong Jianzhong was actually concealing the unnatural emotions in their hearts. No one wanted to do such a thing. They were better off, but they knew very well what was happening at the gathering point.
We are all human beings, and we cannot be hard-hearted or indifferent. They are not afraid of fighting, but this kind of killing... is really torture.
I have heard before that when the barbarians fight with each other, they will kill anyone who is higher than the wheel. At one time, they also hated such behavior. The education they received made them unable to accept such behavior.
However, today, they had to do the same thing, even more cruelly than the barbarians... They did not leave a living creature behind.
"Use gunpowder. Not only to dispose of the dead bodies, but also to keep the brothers out of sight and out of mind, so as to reduce some of the sins!"
There is no need to notify at this time, and it is not possible to notify the soldiers scattered at the gathering point one by one. But the explosion of gunpowder is the best way to communicate.
There was an agreement before the war that once someone used gunpowder and there was a sound of gunpowder explosions on the entire battlefield, it was an order to use gunpowder.
"What about the guides?"
"Keep covering it up if you can. Let the soldiers knock him out, preferably one that can make him unconscious."
Try your best, this is the only way things can go. It's hard to choose between the comfort of the brothers and the possibility of exposing their identities, so we can only leave it at that.
Guides still need to stay for a while at this time, because the emergence of this gathering point makes them think that there are too many unknowns and possibilities ahead, and the role of guides still needs to be borrowed.
When the first explosion sounded, the three teams of Wang Shunchen, Zhe Kexing, and Zhou Tong finally no longer had to endure the torture.
They are not afraid of fighting, but they are not fighting now, but massacre, indiscriminate massacre. Because of the mission, they are now only distinguished between the dead and the living, nothing else.
Such behavior is different from their deep-rooted ideas. When acting, it is also a process of self-torture. They have even thought about selective assassination more than once...
They are all sleeping soundly without any resistance. Even those who are less awakened will only be killed in an instant without any difficulty. This is very boring.
The key is that when they face a living person who is not of the same magnitude or even a threat to them, they cannot be merciful and turn them into dead people. This process is really torturous.
After a while, they lost the enthusiasm they had when they started taking action, and were even a little afraid to continue, fearing that there would still be something in the next adobe house that they couldn't bear to start with.
At this time, it is easiest to throw a few gunpowder bombs. Out of sight, out of mind. The essence has not changed, but it can make your mind more relaxed.
The three groups of them carried out the attack in separate groups, so there was no discussion during the process and they could only proceed according to the established method.
The explosion of gunpowder bombs at this time was a life-saving cry for them...
The next thing is much easier, you just need to use gunpowder bombs rationally. The soldiers of the Pathfinder team are much more familiar with gunpowder bombs than the soldiers of the new army, and they often cooperate with the workshop city.
To evaluate the power of gunpowder bombs... Su Song has never stopped improving gunpowder bombs.
Su Song and Shen Kuo have classified today's gunpowder bombs into throwing types, crossbow firing types, artillery firing types, etc. Zhao Xi has seen that throwing types are almost infinitely close to the earliest hand grenade styles of later generations. In terms of carrying
Much easier.
Using gunpowder bullets to attack indiscriminately makes the soldiers feel much more comfortable because they can't see them anyway. Similarly, as soldiers who know the mission content and are familiar with gunpowder bullets, they know how to use gunpowder bullets rationally.
For a time, the entire wilderness was enveloped in rumbling sounds.
The biggest disadvantage of doing this is that more and more people are escaping from the gathering point...Wang Shunchen doubts that this is intentional by the peripheral team. Only by doing this, the peripheral team has a chance to take action.
Even if they were awakened from a deep sleep and ran for their lives, although they were quite scattered, under the siege of hundreds of cavalry, even if they escaped from the gathering point, they still had no chance of survival, but they could only know how they would die.
I thought there would be an unexpected battle, but with the absolute advantage of surprise attacks and armaments, it was easy to win with a small number. Encircling and annihilating more than a thousand with 200 people became a reality here.
"Inform them to blow up all the houses and bury the dead bodies directly. After completion, retreat and meet at the assembly point!"
There were fewer and fewer people escaping, which meant that the battle was about to end. Zhong Jianzhong asked the messenger to communicate with the teams inside the gathering point and prepare to call it a day.
