Chapter 1073 Biochemical Warfare

The round orange-red sunset in the west shines all over the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi.

The sky is orange-red, the ground is earthy yellow, and the sky and the earth are all warm colors. This is supposed to make people feel happy. But between the sky and the earth, a group of human silhouettes and the buzzing of war drums broke through the warmth from nature. Between the sky and the earth, there was full of murder...

Although it was just a collision between two hundred-man troops from Song and Xia, there was still a somewhat overwhelming momentum on this plain.

Because the battle between the two armies is not a collision of a hundred people gathering into a phalanx, that is something only fools can do. It is necessary to spread out and lengthen the team, with a certain distance to the left and right, and a certain distance from the front and back to ensure the connection between people and between teams. He is not an awesome military commander and has no chance to show off his personal prestige. This is a highly collaborative, large-scale team operation.

Zhang Datong commanded all the troops, with cavalry on the side, shield soldiers in front, crossbowmen in the back, and spearmen at the bottom. They are tens of meters apart horizontally and ten meters apart vertically. The entire team looked very loose from a distance, but they were basically within three steps of each other.

The same was true for the Western Xia army on the opposite side. Today, their various tactics and formations are no longer surprising.

In the land of China, there are wars in ancient legends, wars recorded in history during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, wars of more than 500 years in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the unification of Qin, the conflict between Chu and Han, the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. , the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and now the winter of the fifth year of Huangyou, there have been back and forth fights for more than two thousand years. I learned the art of war well, a required course.

The Song Dynasty was unable to fight out, which was caused by many reasons, not just military issues. In fact, war is never just a military issue...

The team took Zhang Da and Xiao Dongliang as the two front points, holding up shields and swords, and ran towards the opposite side. As the drum beat became more urgent, their speed also became faster.

The first to engage were the crossbowmen from both sides. The distance of fifty or sixty meters was enough to fire two rounds of arrows. In this regard, both sides suffered casualties and did not have any advantage. Because Xia and Liao also plundered many craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, coupled with various smuggling by large households, their military equipment was not bad.

After the crossbowmen came the cavalry on both sides. They fought in a tacit understanding and did not stagger to cause trouble for the infantry on both sides.

In the end, it was a head-to-head confrontation between the centurions from both sides.

Xiao Dongliang ran very fast. When he saw the Xixia man opposite him from a distance, he noticed that his armor was different, and the look he looked at was also very ferocious. But Xiao Dongliang was not frightened. He calmly blocked the long knife on the opposite side, tilted his head to avoid the spear that came out from behind the Xixia man, and swung the knife to wipe the neck of the man who looked like the leader. Then he slammed into Xixia's team with his shield.

Just after Xiao Dongliang left, three spears plunged into the gaps in the Xixia leader's armor. The guns were trembling, and Wang Yan's good men had lost their minds at this moment. Their minds are empty, but their actions are not slow at all. They don't know anything else, they only know how to rush, they only know how to stab.

"kill!"

Zhang Da roared, and his movements were even wilder than that of Xiao Dongliang. He jumped up fiercely, passed the first person, rounded the knife and hit the spearman who came after him heavily in the face. Then he rushed in very fiercely.

He wanted to prove himself, because he always believed that his position was not very honorable, and his subordinates did not think well of him. Therefore, he trains the most seriously and leads the troops the most strictly. He wants to prove that he is a strong man and that he has the ability to sit at the head of the capital and sit in the commanding position.

Now he finally had a chance. Soldiers have to kill the enemy to see who is better, so he fought hard...

The battle involving a total of 200 people from both sides was not a sparring exercise, but a simple rush to kill people, so the battle would end quickly. Basically, within three or two minutes of a charge, this ordinary side provocation was over.

"Chen Liu is not lucky." Zhang Da shook his head, tore off Chen Liu's linen clothes, carefully wrapped up his half-cut neck, and finally closed his unwilling eyes.

"He is not lucky, but his family is lucky. My husband is true to his word. In the next year, the Chen family will build a new house and get more land. Damn, these barbarians are not that good. Why can't we fight against them? "

"Nonsense, how can one hundred people fight the same as one hundred thousand people?"

"It's still incompetence as an official. If my husband had acted as a pacifier, he would have kicked that bullshit Xixia Emperor in the head like a ball."

"It's no different in a war. I was still beating the drum in my heart at first, but in the end I hacked three to death..."

A group of people were laughing and joking for a while, being very low-pitched for a while, cursing for a while, and lamenting that fighting is not difficult. If everyone practiced more, they cut off the Xixia Emperor's head and played it with his husband as a ball.

But their movements did not stop. They stopped the bleeding and bandaged the injured brothers, and even searched for parts of their own bodies for those who had severed hands and feet. He had to clean up his dead brother briefly before finally setting off and dragging his way back.

It was only after they left that someone from the Xixia army on the opposite side came out to clean up. And they drove more than 20 people over and beheaded them on the spot. Because those people escaped just now, and now they are fine. All the members of the Hundreds died neatly...

"hiss……"

On top of the city tower, Zhong'e accidentally trimmed a few strands of his beard, frowned and said, "Zhizhou, these barbarians are trying to establish their authority. If I have expected it to be true, the barbarians will definitely take the initiative to provoke others tomorrow."

"How does Zizheng know that I have no intention of provocation?"

Zhong E asked hesitantly: "Zhizhou is saying that he wants to fight a battle every day?"

"One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I want to see how long they can play with me."

"Zhizhou wants to use Xixia to train troops? Such a huge pension..." Zhong'e said, "In the battle just now, the sergeants under Zhizhou, a low-ranking official, advanced and retreated in a measured manner, with a strict formation and tacit cooperation. Although the specific casualties are not known, it is expected that half of them were killed. The people still have the strength to fight again. Zhizhou has been training for less than a year, so his fighting strength is enough. Why waste the lives of soldiers? Zhizhou thinks twice."

"They must see blood. How can they become elites without seeing blood?"

"But they are Xiang troops, Zhizhou."

"Under my command, there is no such thing as a bullshit Xiang army or a Forbidden army. There are only strong and invincible troops who are fearless in life and death on the battlefield."

Wang Yan said without looking back, "Deploy another two thousand people to clear the stream. With these three thousand soldiers, we will fight with them for half a month. Do a good job in the distribution of veterans and recruits, and bring those who have fought with those who have not. Let's start the battle together. We'll hurry up and send the doctors from Chunqiu Medical Center over. They must be here within five days."

"Yes, Zhizhou, I will go and deliver the order right away." After receiving the order, the military secretary turned around and ran down the city wall.

Zhong E listened with great astonishment. He had no choice but to say that Zhizhou was really full of anger. He spoke hard, acted even harder, and had a hard heart. A lot of soldiers will die in the light words. Or is it a loss that he thinks has no practical significance.

Looking away from Zhong Er's expression, Wang Yan chuckled and said, "It's a waste of money and food, and my son's life is in vain. Does Zizheng blame this officer for being cruel?"

"I don't dare to be humble!"

"It's because I don't dare, it's not because I don't have any." Wang Yan asked with a smile, "Does Zizheng know about the pension benefits of the Xiang army?"

"I don't know."

"For those who are disabled and unable to fight, their children will go to school free of charge and be exempted from land tax for three years. In the next five years, they will be exempted from land tax of 20 per cent and a supplementary payment of three times a year until the children are fifteen years old. For those who are disabled and unable to take care of themselves, on the basis of the former, they will receive For a new house, six guan of supplementary money will be provided every year, and a certain amount of oil, sugar, and cloth will be given every year.

Those who died in the war were given a new house and were exempted from land tax for five years and twenty-one taxes for the next ten years. Their children went to school for free, and the government paid for them to raise them until they were fifteen years old. If you don’t have any children, you can give ten pieces of money per year to your parents..."

Wang Yan briefly talked about the pension guidelines, which are still very complicated. For example, if the child is seven or eight years old, he will not be able to enjoy it for fifteen years. For example, if he has a wife but no children, if the family is separated, if he is a gangster and has no relatives, etc., the situation is many different types of.

But there is only one principle, be generous. This is not to mention the ordinary treatment. Xiaobing gets paid every month, eats and drinks at no cost, and is given clothes and shoes every year. If not because Wang Yan couldn't afford to raise too many soldiers, he would only need a small amount of money every day. If there are casualties in the war again, the compensation will be fatal...

The people standing on the tower were not only Wang Yan and Zhong E, but also not all officers. There were also some soldiers standing straight because the leaders were there. Their eyes widened when they heard Wang Yan talking about his treatment. They used to think that the Forbidden Army was very majestic and they were not worthy of being treated as dogs by the Xiang Army. Now they got to know the Xiang Army again...

Wang Yan looked at Zhong E with a smile and was astonished: "What do you think Zi Zheng is doing?"

"A worthy death!"

Zhong E was already shouting in his heart, Wang Yan gave him the money to raise troops, and he could raise an army of 50,000. No wonder a group of people who had never seen blood were so brave in fighting. In a head-to-head field battle, a group of new recruits managed to inflict 1:2 losses in battle, even though more than 20 people on the opposite side were hacked to death by themselves.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Wang Yan, who was standing upright with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the returning men below, and asked hesitantly, "The Xiang army is treated so well, is it difficult for the state to support it?"

"Why am I so implicated and wantonly ransacking my house?"

"Wealth without roots rarely lasts long. Moreover, it is impossible for Zhizhou to stay on the frontier for a long time. It must be because people are distracted by politics, and all the efforts of Zhizhou are in vain."

"Don't worry, I will let anyone who dares to let my hard work go to waste. I have successively served as the general magistrate of Hangzhou and the inspector of the Kaifeng Prefecture Military Inspection Institute. Currently, everything is the same as when I was there. As for money and food, there is no root problem. I won’t talk to you about long-term matters. You just need to know that if I am here, you will have more money and food.”

Zhong E turned his head and looked at the innocent big eyes of his men. He couldn't help but get closer and asked in a low voice: "Zhizhou, I wonder if you can incorporate me, Qingjian, into the Xiang army?"

Wang Yan shook his head with a smile: "My authority and responsibility lies in Yanzhou, not in the Imperial Guards. If I interfere in the affairs of the Imperial Guards, it would be an act of exceeding my authority. It would also be suspected of buying people's hearts, forming cliques for personal gain, and having private relations with border generals. Zizheng is well aware of my situation in the court. If that is the case, I will set off to Lingnan to take up my post tomorrow..."

"It's the humble Meng Lang..." Zhong E was a little embarrassed, mainly because he couldn't hold it in, and even honest people would be jealous...

Wang Yan went down from the tower and welcomed his good sons back.

Zhang Daka knelt down on one knee and said, "Mr. Sir, I am fortunate to have lived up to my command. Fifty-seven people were killed in formation, and twenty-six were killed with last-minute slashes. Thirteen of my supervisors were killed in the battle, and twenty-one were seriously injured. The rest were lightly injured and will rest for a few days." Then we can fight again.”

"They are all good. I keep my word, and the pension for my son-in-law is not bad at all. Those who are seriously injured can live a good life, and return to the countryside to let me watch those who are officials live a good life. Let's go and get treatment as soon as possible. ”

Wang Yan waved his hand and turned back to lecture the remaining Xiang troops.

"Soldiers should protect their homes and country, defend their land and borders, and protect the country and the people. I have told my sons that when we are asked to fight life and death on the battlefield, we are not fighting for others, but for ourselves. If Xixia The barbarians broke through our defense in Yanzhou and marched straight in. Those who suffered would be the sons, daughters-in-law, wives and children.

I have also said that the sons and gentlemen defend their homes and the country, and fight life and death. We must not chill the hearts of the sons and daughters. As the parent official of Yanzhou, I will represent the people of Yanzhou and provide good food and drink for my sons and daughters, so as to avoid worries. The sons and daughters fight with their lives, and I take care of the sons and daughters after their death.

The boys have lived up to the expectations of their officers and worked hard in training... Now, it's time to test the hard work of the boys in training. Everyone has seen the battle just now. I am now telling everyone that this matter will be carried out every day from now on. If we kill a barbarian, we will be less in danger. Starting from tomorrow, there will be one session in the morning and one session in the afternoon, the sons and daughters will meet with the Xixia barbarians and let them see the bloody nature of my son, the sons of Yanzhou..."

As soon as Wang Yan spoke, the thousands of soldiers he brought out this time were already shouting to kill in excitement. Not only the Xiang army, but also the imperial guards who were watching were also bewitched by Wang Xianggong, and each one of them made a killing sound that shook the sky.

The Xixia people on the opposite side became frightened and became nervous. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, fast-moving figures could be seen...

Wang Yan kept his word, and from that day on, Wang Yan began to play a one-on-one duel with his opponent.

His troops are really well trained. After all, they are all fed and raised with good food and good treatment. He has a strong will to fight and a lot of momentum. So on this basis, as long as they maintain their health, develop their strength, beat and scold them to learn how to attack in military formations, and learn to read flags, it will be enough to get them out to fight.

There are fixed times every day, at two quarters in the morning, which is half past nine, and at two quarters at the end of the afternoon, which is half past one. In these two hours, a team of 100 people was dispatched on time to pick.

Xixia's side is also idle, and they have a huge psychological advantage and will not refuse anyone who comes. After all, they had won the previous wars. If the Liao Kingdom hadn't intervened, they might have really entered Guanzhong.

So the small fights in the past suddenly escalated with the arrival of Wang Yan. Two hundred people can fight in an encounter, and if Han Xin is put into it, he can micro-manage this hundred-man team to carry out a surprise attack.

So although they are still provocative, it is definitely different from the past, where two sharp archers provoke each other, or someone comes who is disgusting and disgusting, and dozens of people kill each other.

After all, there are less than ten thousand troops under Zhong'e's command. One hundred men a day only lasts for three months.

Of course, in the actual battle, not all hundreds of people must die. It's just that the Xixia people felt they had lost face and dealt with the runaways. They wanted to alert others and let them beat them with their lives.

The overall battle can be said to be mutually beneficial. Generally speaking, Wang Yan's side won more and killed more. But they had a strong will to fight and no one could escape. They would not retreat until Wang Yan paid the gold.

After half a month, there were thirty battles, and in the most brutal one, only ten people from the centurion sent by Wang Yan came back.

It's not that Xixia didn't have elites. Of course they saw that Wang Yan was using them to train troops, but their new soldiers couldn't beat them, and their veterans couldn't beat them. The cold-blooded ones would also form an elite hundred-man team, just to massacre the Song army.

After thirty battles, the three thousand men sent by Wang Yan were reduced to less than two thousand. This was a terrible battle loss. But Wang Yan can say with certainty that at least 2,000 people were lost on the opposite side, and the vast majority of them were not injured, but died.

Because his warriors' knives, guns, and arrows were quenched with liquid mixed with livestock excrement and other things, in order to increase the chance of infection of the knife wounds, they engaged in biological and chemical warfare, which was very dirty.

But Wang Yan is different here. He has been running a hospital for five years and has already developed anti-inflammatory drugs, but his productivity is not enough. But there is no problem in taking it out for the military on his side. Moreover, the doctors he trained have even higher medical skills. The survival rate after the war is still very good.

His less than two thousand men can fight. Of the more than 1,000 people left, the number of those who died or were seriously injured was reduced to less than 800. The rest can be rescued and have a high probability of surviving.

After this, his battle losses were still one to two.

Moreover, he gained two thousand soldiers who had fought with real swords and guns. Those who had been on the battlefield and those who had not been on the battlefield were two absolute different concepts. If he sends these two thousand men to continue fighting, the battle losses will definitely be further reduced.

Of course he wouldn't do that, because he mobilized another 3,000 troops, dispersed the more than 1,000 people who had fought in the battle, and regrouped them. They, who are considered veterans, will lead the new soldiers to fight. This kind of effect is definitely better than the original team where most of them are new soldiers. It can exert a stronger combat effectiveness and at the same time further reduce one's own casualties.

As for the coordination of the new formation, this is not a problem. Because they are all made from the same mold, they all received the same training, they all know how to cooperate, and the veterans are all officers, so they can be commanded...

Wang Yan took the initiative to provoke, and making an appointment with Xixia every day seemed like child's play. Fighting, training troops, and consuming the enemy's strength were all killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred.

But Wang Yan's wars in ancient times were never purely battlefield battles. He always fought for logistics and national strength. He can rely on his strong logistical capabilities to turn a self-loss of eight hundred into a self-loss of four hundred.

He is so dirty that he has engaged in biological and chemical warfare. How can Xixia play?
He is not afraid of sending out an all-elite team. His current troops have been updated and are three points stronger. They are fighting elites...

On the sixteenth day, when Wang Yan's newly transferred three thousand troops were in place, they all had a good day's rest, reorganized their teams, and went out for a fight at 9:30 on the day, something unexpected happened.

The Xixia people are no longer coming out...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
