Chapter 526 Let Soldiers Rekindle Their Faith in Fighting
Care for wounded veterans.

Xiao Ruxun's ideas are widely spread in his own army. He often educates military officers to send wounded soldiers to military doctors for treatment in a timely manner, to care for wounded veterans, not to treat wounded veterans as a burden, and repeatedly punishes officers who abuse wounded veterans.

This became the main factor why the soldiers respected and loved Xiao Ruxun and were willing to obey his orders.

And this kind of reputation spread widely with the end of the Korean War, and a large number of troops returned to their original station. Many factions of the army knew that there was a General Xiao who cared for the lives of soldiers and did not make unnecessary sacrifices. Guaranteed.

Xiao Ruxun is very concerned that the establishment of the military medical system is an important factor in the survival rate of veterans who surpassed the Ming army. This time, Xiao Ruxun did not bring many troops with him, but he brought 30 military doctors with him.

Each military doctor is equipped with three apprentice assistants, which means that Xiao Ruxun has a mature medical team of 120 people. There are five such medical teams in the Zhennan Army.

Then a large amount of medicinal materials were replenished in the capital, and a group of doctors who were good at treating sword wounds were forcibly tied up with the army. Together, Xiao Ruxun had a medical team of about 150 people to treat the wounded soldiers.

By the way, those doctors refused at first, with a proud face, but Xiao Ruxun just showed off his sword in front of them, and they followed him with a sense of integrity, and now they are in the big family of the medical team Work happily.

The lightly injured soldiers have been properly re-packed, and the seriously injured soldiers basically have no need to stay here after the diagnosis. Especially when Xiao Ruxun plans to continue marching, it is really unnecessary to take them with him, and he can't bear them to fend for themselves.

So after discussing with the military doctor, after about 500 seriously injured soldiers were urgently bandaged, Xiao Ruxun directly ordered the Liaodong cavalry to separate [-] people, prepare a large carriage, and escort these soldiers back to the capital for proper resettlement before the army defeated the Mongolian cavalry. .

This move is a trump card to make the soldiers of the Beijing camp completely change their attitude towards Xiao Ruxun and are willing to continue fighting.

No soldier wants to die in battle, but no soldier dares to say that he will not die in battle.

Fighting with a powerful general has a higher survival rate, but if the powerful general cares about their lives, they will be happier and more willing to fight for the general.

Seeing those seriously injured comrades who could only wait to die in despair before being sent back to the capital after receiving proper treatment, an unprecedented feeling swept over the hearts of the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

The fire of hope for rebirth was rekindled in their hearts, and many soldiers cried bitterly because of this. When the hope of survival tilted to the fighting side, not many people thought about how to escape from here.

Then Xiao Ruxun took the last step.

In order to let the soldiers who have never been in contact with themselves have the minimum trust in themselves, show strong force, and show the general's own strength is also a very important way. When all preparations are made, show the general's strength and let the soldiers When there is hope in the general, soldiers rekindle their faith in battle.

Twenty Hongyi cannons were transported to the city wall one by one in front of the soldiers. When the soldiers looked at these large cannons with a length of one foot, they were very shocked. It was the officers who were shocked when they saw these artillery pieces.

Among the armies of the entire Ming Dynasty, Xiao Ruxun's Zhennan Army is the best equipped. The weapons used are all the most advanced at this time, and some of them are even beyond this era. However, with the current handicraft industry system, Xiao Ruxun can only To be able to do so much, if we want to continue to develop, it must be mechanical industrialization.

That's not what Xiao Ruxun can do right now, after all, he doesn't have a system, and he can't go back and forth.

Twenty Hongyi cannons entered the Ming army's field of vision decades in advance. The huge cannon body compared all the artillery used by the Ming army, such as the Franc machine gun, the tiger squatting gun, and the general gun. After going on, the Zhennan Army got used to it, and the Liaodong cavalry who came with the Zhennan Army saw such a big guy for the first time.

Naturally, it was also the first time for Nurhachi to see such a big guy. When he saw such a terrifying cannon, Nurhachi was stunned. He looked at the huge cannon body stupidly, and then kept swallowing.

God, how powerful is such a big guy?How many people will die in one shot?
Is this the new standard artillery of the Ming army?Is the Ming army that powerful?How could this Xiao Ruxun always do such unexpected things?

There is no doubt that such a huge artillery made everyone present want to understand it quickly, and he also quickly gave everyone here a sense of victory.

The balance of war began to swing again.

"Admiral, this is?"

With a hoarse voice, Chai Guozhu ran to Xiao Ruxun's side with a cup of steaming potion in his hand and asked Xiao Ruxun about the origin of the Hongyi cannons. He was obviously also shocked by these cannons.

"This is the Hongyi cannon, the latest artillery made by the Frangjiyi people. I captured it when I was fighting with the Frangjiyi in Nanyang, and then found someone to imitate it successfully. Compared with the Frangji cannon, The Hongyi cannon is more powerful and has a longer range, and it is much easier to use than the Fran's machine gun for attacking cities and villages."

Xiao Ruxun patted the barrel of a Hongyi cannon, smiling slightly.

"My God, how many people will die if this cannon goes down? The Fran's machine gun is completely useless! Admiral, when will this Hongyi cannon be installed on the nine sides?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at the greedy look on Chai Guozhu's face, and said with a smile: "Don't look at this guy's big size, but he also has a lot of shortcomings. The biggest problem is that this guy can only shoot solid bullets, not explosive bullets. , the power is limited."

"Can't fire the flower bomb?"

Chai Guozhu obviously did not understand the scientific principles of artillery.

"That's right, this cannon is longer and its inner diameter is naturally larger, so it needs more propellant to activate the gunpowder. Once the cannon is fired, both the temperature and the momentum inside will be greater, so it can hit farther, more accurately and more powerfully, but The shell of the flower bomb is too thin to withstand the momentum here, if the flower bomb is fired forcibly, the flower bomb will explode here, and the chamber will explode."

As soon as the bomb was mentioned, Chai Guozhu shrank his neck, obviously frightened by the bomb.

"Are you going to explode again?"

Xiao Ruxun laughed.

"Yeah, so at the moment we can only use solid bullets, which are limited in power and can't kill more enemies. It's not like we haven't tried to use flowering bullets with a thicker shell, but the shell is thicker, and the gunpowder is not enough to kill the blooming bullets." When the bomb explodes, it can only be broken into a few pieces, which is not as effective as using a solid bullet.

Loading with solid ammunition, at least the siege is very powerful, you see this guy is bulky, right?The effective range is more than double that of the Francophone gun. The Mongols didn't know it, and thought they had avoided the range of the Francophone gunship. As a result, we changed the gun, and I killed all their trebuchets and bed crossbows in one round of shooting! "
