Warhammer Seal

Chapter 250
Again, the most important thing in war is not military strength and logistics, but intelligence.

Shangyang City didn't even know that Ruixi had beheaded his staff, and the soldiers were still standing outside the city obediently waiting for the next order.

Wende stepped up his horse, deployed all the troops, and then surrounded them all at once.

What kind of battle is the scariest in war?
Tug of war?Generally speaking, it has a great impact on morale.

Trench warfare?This is more serious and tortures everyone's soul.

But the most terrifying thing is the war of annihilation. The so-called war of annihilation refers to killing or capturing all or most of the enemy, and completely depriving the enemy of its combat effectiveness.

The war of annihilation does not aim at siege of cities and lands, but the idea of ​​annihilation war with the main purpose of annihilating the enemy's vital forces.

Even if a unit is crippled to the point where there are only 15 people left, it can quickly replenish and become a new combat force after retreating to the rear.

As for annihilation, it really means that no one will be left alive, and the enemy will be wiped out in an organized way, and there will be no time to replenish the rear with new troops.

Only after the army led by Wen De had surrounded them all did the soldiers of Shangyang City react.

But in this situation, there is no way to retreat. They are a lone army and cannot get any support at all.

The soldiers were extremely fast, and the horn of attack was blown directly, and the pockets shrank rapidly. Every direction of the soldiers in Shangyang City was Wende's army.

"Surrender without killing."

Wende didn't want to kill them all, but rode to the front of the army and gave the enemy a chance when the pockets were about to be completely closed.

But what responded to him was a string of musket bullets. Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and only a few bullets that lost their impact hit the plate armor.

Although this didn't hurt Wende, it seriously angered him. Immediately, with a wave of his hand, the whole army attacked.

All the troops were immediately surrounded and went up. The Shangyang City army, which was attacked from the side and the back at the same time, began to lose morale shortly after contact.

As the battle continued, their morale retreated very quickly, and within a short while the entire army was wiped out. Of course, it was due to Ruixi's beheading.

All the captives were tied up and taken to Wende for trial.

Even though he could defend Shangyang City until he died of old age, he really looked down on Wen De who chose to go out of the city to fight, and now he ended up with the whole army wiped out.

However, I heard that Wen De, the county magistrate, is sympathetic to the people and will not massacre. Maybe he can make an exception and give all the prisoners a chance.

"cut!"

That's right, this is Wende's order.

"You have been given a chance to surrender before. If you refuse to surrender, you will be executed according to the order. All professional soldiers will be beheaded for public display. The conscripted peasant troops will be temporarily put in prison and will be released later."

There is no way, you have to be soft-hearted when you should be soft-hearted, and you have to be serious when you should be serious.

Moreover, the most important thing in the annihilation war is to eliminate the local vitality. Although the goal can be achieved through enlightenment and bribery, there is no time and money now, and beheading is the only way.

Besides, the skull-loving Khorne is not in Cathay at this time, and will not strengthen the chaos corruption in this area.

The entire Shangyang City is now in chaos. No one can think of why the originally friendly Xinwu City suddenly started a war with him. The most important thing is that Shangyang City is now at a disadvantage.

In addition, that guy Wen De said that he had cut off the heads of three hundred people who refused to surrender. It is not guaranteed that he will do such a terrible thing as massacre the city in the future.

Fleeing and hiding, prices soaring, rituals and music collapsing, the entire Shangyang City is undergoing changes according to the plan set by Wen De.

But all this made him very unhappy, the plan was executed too smoothly.

Why can I easily gain the trust of Bing Long Zhaoming, why can I not be hindered when I served as the county magistrate, why the army of Shangyang City actually went out of the city to station, and why the interior of Shangyang City can be blocked destroyed so quickly.

The answer to all this points to a guy, no, a god, Tzeentch.

She is happily watching all the deeds that Wende has done on the land of Cathay, thanking him for bringing new things, new systems, new changes, and new economic methods, all of which make Tzeentch ecstatic , she couldn't bear to let this hard-won chess piece suffer setbacks.

It's just a little help for Wende's plan. Tzeentch's favorite thing is to push a person to a height that doesn't belong to him, and then watch him fall suddenly, and his body is smashed to pieces in an instant.

No, simply manipulate your own believers, and a new plan has quietly begun.

Shangyang City surrendered, and the local gentry group opened the city gates and announced their surrender to Wen De.

Surrender, this kind of thing is understandable.

We are all smart people, and smart people will abide by a complete set of rules of the game.

Randomly launch a few dead ghosts to cut off to vent anger for Wende, and the next life will not be the same as before, because all the gentry are gentry, and they are all school lords.

They have mastered such a thing as knowledge, and they are also the only group that can help Wende share government affairs, so they don't have to worry about being abused.

Even in Cathay, where paper and printing were invented, knowledge spread very slowly.

Ordinary people have no access to high-level knowledge, and can only learn compulsory education in private schools.

If you want to gain more ability to participate in the imperial examination, at least you need to enter a private imperial academy and hire expensive tutors.

Over time, the wealthy gentry also controlled education through the economy, and then controlled politics through the education and imperial examinations, completely controlling all the lifelines of a region.

Once an excellent teacher appeared in the free private school built by the local government, he would be bombarded with a lot of money and enter the private imperial school to teach the children of the gentry.

As a result, the gentry completely monopolized education and turned it into a huge root system integrating politics, economy, and education, and it affected the whole body.

If Wende wanted to control Shangyang City that had just surrendered, he had to get the help of these people. When everyone received the invitation to the dinner, there was no surprise on their faces.

It's been like this for a long time. He knows how to play games among civilized people. It seems that Wen De is a good guy. He can marry someone's daughter to him in the future and let him join such an interest group.

He came out to be the county magistrate, isn't it just to make money.

If you want to make money in the city, you can, but you have to kneel.

If he doesn't want to kneel, then he can't join such a circle and earn money by himself standing in the mountains.

All the elders of the gentry had already arrived at the place where Wende held the dinner, waiting patiently, ready to see what the role of the newly appointed county magistrate would be.

Wen De had already pushed the door and entered, the sword of salvation in his hand was still dripping with blood, followed by a dark group of people, fully armed, full of unstoppable murderous aura.

"Close the door and don't let anyone go, no matter men, women, old or young."

　Report sir, when the red flag fell in 1991, we did not die, but traveled to another world, the Russian land, which seemed to be a world with medieval technology, and the local people spoke the same language as us.

　　Comrade Belinsky, what is the state of our army?

　　Report to Comrade Gonchakov that tanks and armored vehicles, including T54, and eight heavily armed divisions are there.

　　Well done, Comrade Belinsky, our next step is to find an oil field.

　　Karl Franz: Compared with the tanks of New Kislev, the tanks of the Empire are handcarts.

　　Thorgrim Grudger: Valaya has her grandfather's beard on top.

　　Erik Claw: Warp Stone NO, NO, Uranium Ore YES, YES.
　　Archaon: Call the Four Gods, call the Four Gods, ask for support.

　　The Four Gods of Chaos: We surrender, we surrender.
