Baiyue people are crazy, and no one has ever denied this.

In the barbaric era of Baiyue, only a very small number of their tribes will have metal weapons, and a large number of tribes are basically in the environment of drinking blood, not to mention metal weapons, it is good to have some animal skins on their bodies.

What kind of people are they, suddenly appearing from the dark forest, and then attacking with a ghostly roar, their naked bodies painted with messy colors, and those who don't know think that the mountain is crazy.

The temperature in autumn in Lingnan is not too low, if you calculate it according to the temperature of later generations, it is about 15 degrees, and 15 degrees should be a very comfortable environment for most northerners. However, the temperature in Lingnan is not low, but the air is really humid, many people think that the temperature is not low and they don't cover the blanket, and they don't know if they will get rheumatism when they are old, but it is definitely easy to get wind cold.

The 200,000 soldiers of the Southern Legion, they really fell in the battle with Baiyue is not too much, the losses are basically lost in the sick and all kinds of strange environments in the jungle, as for the death in the hands of animals, it is not too much, after all, how can it be a soldier, with four or five people as a team or a dozen or so, with weapons in their hands and know how to cooperate, if there are still heavy casualties, Lingnan simply don't fight.

Caught off guard by a surprise attack, the enemy troops covered in messy colors could not scare Sergeant Lu Zhe for a long time, but the guy in the hands of the Baiyue people was poisonous, although it would not be poisoned to death immediately after being scratched, but the tingling and itching feeling was too hindering the battle.

Oh, usually I am not very afraid of wooden or stone weapons, but because of the rain, the weight of the armor has been increased, and the leather armor has been rained to produce some kind of chemical expansion effect that the soldiers do not know, and it has been safe for two or three days, and because there are too many soldiers wearing soaked robes and armor and getting wind cold, in order not to produce epidemics, the soldiers who have been sick have been isolated, and the soldiers who are not sick have taken off their armor and roasted around the fire, and they were suddenly attacked.

In fact, Zhou Wen also blamed Tang Jie. Tang Jie didn't arrange a vigilance team, but the continuous rainy weather obstructed his vision, and the sound of rain falling on leaves all over the world also covered up the movement of the approaching enemy army, and the team that was arranged out basically needed to wait for the enemy army to get very close before realizing it. When close enough, the team was facing an enemy force that was at least seven to ten times larger than itself, and to be honest, it was not easy to warn, and even if the alarm was raised, it was muffled by the sound of water all over the world.

Of the 10,000 soldiers who crossed the river, nearly 3,000 were sick, of which nearly 2,000 were quarantined, and the remaining 7,000 were busy for three days in a row. And facing at least 50,000 enemy troops, to be honest, it is good to be able to repel the enemy army without the collapse of the whole army.

At the moment of repelling the enemy's attack, Tang Jie immediately ordered the front to be compressed, and in addition, he also sped up the speed to let people control the horses, and quickly erected the fences that had been knocked down.

At least 2,000 soldiers were poisoned, and it was simply that Lu Zhejun had a lot of naturalized Baiyue, and they had long known that the barbarian Yue would use poison, so how could they prepare herbs for injury. However, Manyue is not a regular army, and the poison used cannot be the unification of the system. Which soldier has a stroke of what poison requires careful and detailed observation by an experienced person before he can be drugged. Some people use not plant poison, but some poisonous snakes, scorpions and other venom, those that make people numb and itchy can be treated, but the soldiers who are hit by poisonous snakes, scorpions and unknown venom can not be saved. After all, there is no serum in this era.

More than 500 people were killed on the spot, and nearly 400 people were poisoned and died one after another, counting those who were lightly injured and sick and could not fight again, Tang Jie's troops were reduced to less than 5,000. And this time Gui Yue didn't know how many people were dispatched, looking at the dense crowd and the movement in the forest just now, Gui Yue who came prepared was at least more than 50,000 people.

Five thousand against fifty thousand. If it weren't for the jungle area with complex terrain, Tang Jie would not be afraid at all, and if it didn't rain in the jungle area, he would be sure to hold on. But now it's raining, the bowstring of the bow in the army is loose and sloppy after being damp, there is no elastic tension at all, the crossbow machine can be used but the number is too small, and what is even more pleasing is that the soldiers are just metal armor, and it is cold to remove the soaked and swollen leather, but most of the soldiers are standard leather armor, which is obviously not worn.

"If only there were more vine armor soldiers!" Tang Jie's eyes stared at the dark jungle, and his mouth was a little broken.

Of course, the Southern Legion has a reserve of rattan armor soldiers, and the number is not small, it should be around 50,000. The rattan armor that has been boiled and dried in tung oil is light and has good defense, but the disadvantage of being afraid of fire is too obvious, and it is very easy to be targeted by the enemy. In fact, there were originally more rattan armor soldiers, but during the attack on Lingnan, there were cases of large groups of rattan armor soldiers being ambushed by fire, and the number of vine armor soldiers was reduced.

"There are a lot of rattan armors in the treasury, and a report should be written for each army to carry two kinds of armor, and change them depending on the change of weather......" Tang Jie was a little embarrassed, and halfway through his words, the strange shouts of the Guiyue people came from his ears.

The Guiyue people who are hiding in the jungle will make a burst of movement every once in a while, and Lu Zhejun, who has been in Lingnan for almost three months, knows very well that he is playing tricks, but if he is not careful, the Guiyue people will really kill him, and he can only increase his vigilance in rotation every time to prevent a sneak attack, so that the soldier's love has always been in a state of mental tension, to be honest, it is very bad, but there is no very good way to deal with it.

"Captain, the chief general will send someone to inform you that you must hold on until dawn, and after waiting for dawn, there will be follow-up troops to come and reinforce you."

"Oh, yes, thank you, Lord!"

In fact, there is a fart use, if you can cross the river in a big way, will you still use batch after batch of adventures to force the crossing? Although there are nearly 200,000 robes in the rear, there are less than 5,000 people who can ensure that the river beach is not lost.

The damn rain was getting heavier again, and Tang Jie shouted loudly, "Alert! Alert! There were soldiers on the periphery who repeatedly passed out the order, and there were immediately bursts of shouts in the humble camp.

Baiyue is a wild social system, but it doesn't mean that they are all fools, their technology and craftsmanship are not as good as the Chinese, but there is no lack of use of nature, and the use of things or things such as the jungle environment, strange venom, weather and so on is gradually strengthening. Therefore, war is a catalyst for development, and when life is at stake, any ethnic group will immediately "open its mind".

Bai Yue is smart, and the Chinese army is naturally not standing still, Tang Jie is chanting "vigilance" here, but Gui Yue is quiet.

"Wouldn't these damn brutes get sick if they're naked?" This time it wasn't Tang Jie who was breaking his mouth, it was a military marquis who looked at the corpses of several Guiyue people lying on the ground not far in front of him under the light of the torches: "The barbarian woman is fierce, shaking her two breasts and shaking it, she doesn't lose to a man at all......" He suddenly stopped and stared at the jungle where something seemed to be dangling, and saw clearly that it was the barbarians charging in silence, shouting: "Enemy attack!" Enemy Attack!! ”

Yes, it was an enemy attack, and one by one the Guiyue people who had painted themselves black with mud rushed over, and they kept throwing stones at Lu Zhejun while running, and some Guiyue people even threw sharpened wooden sticks (javelins).

A small number of crossbow arrows were fired out, and the fastest Guiyue people were hit by the arrows and fell into the mud mixed with dirt and weeds in a muffled grunt, and the rest of the Guiyue people continued to charge without any pause.

"Shield!"

"Hey!"

"Spear!"

"Hey-ha!"

The sound of ping-pong was emitted with the messy things thrown by the Guiyue people, and the hastily erected shield naturally could not cover all the parts, and some unlucky people were hit in the head and let out a cry of pain, and many people who were shot by the javelins snorted or fell to the ground in silence.

Tang Jie was also hit by a stone, and it was still the head shell that was hit, fortunately he was wearing a metal helmet, and the moment his head was hit, he was just stunned for a moment, and there was no big problem: "That thrown thing (javelin) is very good in the jungle environment,", he shouted: "Stormtroopers prepare!" But at this time, the sound of dripping raindrops seems to have become a little louder?

When the enemy army was outnumbered, in an environment with only a small amount of light, Tang Jie actually wanted to fight back?

An army does not look at how neatly the queue is, nor how sharp the weapons and armor are, of course...... The military formation and equipment must be there, but it depends on whether the army has the courage to fight.

That's right, it doesn't matter if it's arrogant, it's good to say anything, Lu Zhejun has always been a big victory against Baiyue, and he really looks down on the combat power of Baiyue people, so what's wrong with fighting a countercharge when nothing is good!

"Column one, column one...... Above! ”

"No!"

When Gui Yue was about to rush within fifty paces, with the sound of the password, Lu Zhejun, who was in a row of troops, broke away from the brigade and stepped on the mud and charged up, and the two sides soon collided together, and the sound of each other's undulating battles was never broken.

On the east bank of the water, Zhou Wen, who paid a heavy price to find out the basic military situation, was smiling: "More than 80,000 Guiyue and Qiang people, this is the first time encountered after the conquest of Lingnan!" ”

Obviously, the Gui Yue and Qiang people must have explored the predicament encountered by the Southern Legion, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity given by God to fight a battle of half-crossing, so they gathered so many men to surround them.

"Use Tang Jie's department as bait, and continue to send a small number of troops to reinforce the past to maintain the battle situation at any cost," Zhou Wen's eyes lit up (if he could), he clenched his fist and smashed it hard at the mountains and rivers: "Send the army to detour from other places, let's take advantage of this God-given opportunity to annihilate these 80,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop!" (To be continued......)
