349 All People Resist the Enemy
As the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, the dark elf Yu'an and Lin Dengwan, the leader of the Pioneer Semen Legion, naturally knew that the attitudes of the people and officials in the Western Regions of Ming Dynasty had undergone drastic changes in the attitudes of the Ottoman Empire.
In addition to the guidance of the official power of the Ming Dynasty, this change originated more from the military discipline issues of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force itself.
But neither Youan nor Lindenwan cares much about this.
When the army in this era invaded foreign territory, how could it be burned, killed and looted?
Even the peasant uprising army with less discipline will even go all out of their hometowns. In this era, it is already very good to ensure that the army does not kill innocent people in its own country indiscriminately!
In fact, the highest regular army of all countries can achieve this achievement. The so-called elite does not mean that it is a revolutionary army armed with the idea of "someone"...
The elites of this era are just stronger in morale and more able to fight tough battles. Generally, the casualties can bear 40% or 50%, which is enough to be called the elite of a great power.
If it is a small country or a backward country, it is enough to withstand two or three layers of casualties.
If you can withstand more than half of the casualties and not collapse, all of these troops will be iron troops in the history of celebrities!
In terms of ideological education and morale cultivation, the army of this era cannot be compared with Richard's previous life in World War II. Whether it is fanatical, moderate patriotism or Niu Bi's thoughts, they can get rid of the eight streets of morale in this era!
Therefore, if the officers and soldiers under their command are really prohibited from burning, killing, looting, the morale of the army will inevitably decline significantly. You'an and Lindenwan, who have led their troops for a long time, naturally understand this principle.
At the same time, allowing troops under his command to rob can also be exempted from paying wartime allowances. This is an expedition. It is already very difficult to transport ordinary supplies from the rear. No matter how powerful the Ottoman Empire is, it is not able to transport additional wartime allowances.
Moreover, long-term marching will also make the soldiers full of complaints. They finally caught rich land. If they were not allowed to grab one, would the soldiers below work hard to fight for the top leaders?
There is no team of dark elves in this expeditionary army, it is all composed of servants of humans. You An is very aware of the bad natures of these human armies!
As for Lindenwan's Semen Army, let alone, they not only want to rob and supplement the soldiers' own consumption, but also a revenge element mixed in it.
When the Great Uprising in the Western Regions was brutally suppressed, who did not have relatives and friends of these wandering soldiers died under the butcher knife of the Ming army?
The hatred between the Semu people and the Han people had long been formed, and in order to enhance the fighting spirit of the Semu people, Lin Dengwan spared no effort to promote and expand the power of hatred.
This is how Lindenwan built the Semu Legion into the strongest combat power among this Ottoman Eastern Expeditionary Force!
Everyone has been trained for a long time, so the strength of the combat is naturally supported by morale.
This is also the reason why Lindenwan's Semester Legion was able to complete the Pioneer's mission very well.
You should know that the siege of the city was defeated by the Semu Ren Army, and the other troops were almost doing the finishing work. Naturally, the Semu Ren Army, which took the lead in taking down the city, also grabbed the most generous amount.
It can be said that all cities captured by the Ottoman Expeditionary Force were in disaster.
Whether civilians or wealthy, the Han people were all looted indiscriminately, except for a small number of surrendered backbones. Their wives and daughters were played with by the soldiers. Once they resisted, they would be welcomed by butchers!
In addition, the Han civilians were also requisitioned on the spot by the Ottoman Empire as hard-working civilians with the army. In order to reduce consumption, the Ottoman Expeditionary Force came to the Western Regions with all kinds of war soldiers and did not follow the army and civilians. At this time, a batch of people would naturally be added to the local area.
All the cities and territories occupied by the Ottoman Empire were almost turned into white land, and the Ottomans treated the Han people no longer the same way as the Han people used to treat the Semu people.
This is the war of this era, full of barbarism and killing. After each war, the population will drop by percentage, which is the reason.
However, the Ottoman Expeditionary Forces finally paid the price for their reckless deeds, even if this price was insignificant in the eyes of Yu'an and Linden.
The uninhabited Ming Dynasty city government only needed a little guidance, and a large number of young and strong Han people joined the army enthusiastically. Through the refugees who fled out of the Han people, everyone knew the evil deeds of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force. They did not fight for the Ming Dynasty, but for their families and property!
Almost every Han family with males dispatched all males to join the city defense militia team formed by the Ming government. The originally reserved cold weapons warehouses were all open for supply, and the shortage of troops in cities and cities in various places was solved!
Even if the officials who were afraid of life and death were tied to Kucha, the capital of Ming Dynasty, the huge anti-Ottoman and anti-Semi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-Pemi-
The surrendered forces in the Ming ruling region were destroyed by the Ottoman Expeditionary Force itself...
Those Han people who had surrendered to Xiancheng before, from the chief officials to an ordinary police officer, were all nailed to the pillar of shame for traitors.
Interestingly, after Lindenwan, of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force, learned that these traitors had no way out, he simply used the waste and organized them to build a traitor army.
Of course, this traitor unit was not sent to the front line to die, otherwise who would dare to surrender in the future?
Although this traitor force is not large in number, it has become a security force in the occupied areas of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force, which can reduce the dispersion of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force.
Since their reputation has become terrible all over the streets, Lin Dengwan is very relieved of these traitor troops and does not have to worry about them turning against each other.
In this way, Lin Dengwan once again attacked Shiguo Mansion, Kang Guo Mansion, American Mansion and other places with the vanguard of the Sci-Men Army, and encountered stubborn resistance from local militias and government officials.
The young and strong Han people who were temporarily armed, faced the Seme Legion armed by the Ottoman Empire with backward cold weapons.
When the Semuren Legion launched the Ottoman Empire's specialty unicorn siege cannon, there was actually no suspense in the siege battle.
