Chapter 591: Let's Make History! (below)
Being prepared to fight without defense has always been a kind of surprise attack effect, especially Chen Shao's attack that quietly broke out in the depths of the enemy's camp and killed people, once the fight began, it was destined to be a one-sided massacre, and how long they could kill depends on whether the enemy's soldiers on duty reacted quickly, and whether the enemy's pre-deployment could stand the test.
To say that the Lingnan ethnic groups in the barbarian era don't want to have any plans at all, after all, a group of ethnic groups that don't even have an incomplete language system, and there can be no written plan without writing, and what plans can they have to deal with emergencies?
The people of Ouluo are different, they are a country with a complete political system, the script is a Chinese pictograph, because they often encounter sneak attacks by savages in South Asia, and the army has no preventive measures, which is impossible.
Leaving dozens of people to kill and set fires, the camp of the barbarians immediately became chaotic because of these dozens of people running around, like a drop of water being thrown into an oil pot and exploding, and the chaos produced was like a stone rippled on the calm water surface, so that it produced a kind of camp roaring effect.
What is Ying Xiao? It refers to the fact that the soldiers in the army are mentally stressed for a long time, and once there is any noise, there may be chaos, and when there is chaos, there will be pushing, pushing and shoving, and the brawl will cause death and injury, and they will simply fight each other, and finally become cannibalism.
Dozens of Lu Zhejun killed people and set fire among the barbarians, and there was no difficulty for the barbarians to panic, and these barbarians came from different tribes, and the moment there was bloodshed in the camp, they wanted to protect themselves, and when they encountered the tribes that originally had grudges, it was inevitable that they would continue to fight each other with a little hostility.
Chen Shao and the others who entered the Ouluo camp were not so easy, they only advanced about 200 meters before they encountered a wave of arrows, so this attack came prepared, and the full set of rattan armor soldiers all over their bodies opened their eyes to raise their vigilance. Under a wave of arrows, unless they were particularly unlucky enough to be shot in the joint, they used a shield to block their faces, and the arrows were basically bounced off.
The reaction of the Ouluo army was very fast, huh? Their wave of arrows was just a prelude, and Chen Shao alone took the lead to lead his subordinates to continue to run forward, but he ran out for more than ten steps and a wave of arrows fell.
The closer he got, the more Chen Shao felt that the force on the armor on the shield became heavier, and his face was horrified when he saw Youruze being shot through the rattan armor.
The rattan armor that had been boiled in tung oil was actually pierced by arrows? What a force and penetration it must have to shoot through!
Looking through the shield, what did Chen Shao see? He saw at least two thousand men in shirts and shorts approaching him from all directions, and in front of him there were some enemy soldiers armed with crossbows firing arrows, and it seemed that some of the arrows that fell to the ground were three-edged arrows. I almost scared my pee in an instant.
The three-edged arrow is also known as an armor-piercing arrow, and this thing can shoot through copper armor within fifteen steps (about 30 meters) and leather armor within 50 steps (about 75 meters). If you use a crossbow with a tension of more than three stones, you can break through the copper armor in 70 steps, and the leather armor in 100 steps, and even the armor belt may be shot through if you get closer.
Because LĂź Zhe attached great importance to the development of crossbow machines, LĂź Zhejun had quite a lot of crossbows, ranging from small repeating crossbows to crossbow beds, and what Chen Shao saw was that the enemy army used crossbows similar to those of the Qin army. There are two styles of this crossbow. One is a crossbow with the foot end, which is used for strong crossbows; The other is the knee upper crossbow, which is used for weak crossbows.
The guy in the hands of the crossbowmen of the Ouluo army is clearly the style of the foot end, which is a very strong crossbow. Chen Shao knew that the range of this crossbow could reach more than 300 steps at most, and within 50 steps, unless he was heavily armored and holding a shield, he would definitely not be able to withstand it, could he not be almost scared to pee?
The enemy crossbowmen numbered about 300 men. There are about two hundred archers, and the rest are crossbowmen, Chen Shao held back his urine and roared: "Rush!" âă Immediately, he was desperate to move his feet.
Even if there are nearly 2,000 enemy troops around the perimeter must charge, the strong crossbow is very troublesome to load, the distance of 100 steps can be shot twice, in the face of the crossbowman who has no melee ability, turning around and running away is definitely a dead end, after all, the farther away the more dangerous it is, rushing up can be easily driven or killed. In addition, a hundred or so crossbowmen fired twice, and not all of them hit the target.
Chen Shao led people to rush, but the crossbowmen of the Ou Kingdom on the opposite side were panicked, and the arrows shot out by these crossbowmen in a panic were not very accurate, and the archers could still maintain the speed of shooting arrows with their bows and strings, but the crossbowmen were in a hurry and slowed down the speed of opening the bowstring with their feet.
It was almost when Chen Shao and other Lu Zhejun rushed within twenty steps of the enemy's crossbowmen, and the three hundred or so Ouluo crossbowmen ran without thinking about turning around.
When the enemy ran away, Chen Shao did not pursue, he shouted "Set fire, set fire to the building, and set fire to everything that can be ignited!" Catching up with a slow-running Ou Yu crossbowman, he slashed down with a sword, slashed the opponent's neck, and a stream of blood flew to his face without wiping it, his eyes swept around the distance of the enemy's melee soldiers, put down his shield and reached out to grab the bamboo tube hanging from his waist.
Each soldier who participated in the night attack carried some bamboo tubes wrapped in coarse cloth, which were filled with fire oil, which was necessary to increase the fire.
They should have gone deeper, but Ou Yu Country is obviously not a rabble, and it is obviously impossible to reach the enemy's main general's tent if they want to kill it, so they can only set fire everywhere to create chaos, and then don't worry about running for their lives and fleeing for their lives.
The Ou Kingdom is a South Asian power, and they have one thing in common with the Lingnan ethnic groups, that is, when they build camps, they rarely use cloth tents, and they will cut down bamboo that is very common in the south to build bamboo houses.
It is not easy for bamboo to become dry, and it is not as convenient as a tent to light a fire, fortunately Chen Shao and they have carried fire oil, and fortunately, the enemy army has the stupid thing of lighting a bonfire indiscriminately, otherwise it would be a joke to want to set fire to the camp on a large scale.
The Lingnan ethnic group, Ouluo and other southern tribes or forces, countries, they actually use bamboo to build houses for a reason, this secret has not been discovered by the Chinese.
The more southern the building, the higher the empty compartment is to prevent the attack of predators and to reduce the chance of snakes entering the house. At the same time, this architectural pattern also pays attention to preventing moisture.
It is not a cloth material tent, and the difficulty of Chen Shao and others to set fire has increased a lot, but once such a wet building is successfully ignited, it will definitely be a smoke-filled environment.
Lu Zhejun, who had successfully set fire to many buildings, saw that the enemy was approaching and didn't care about setting fires, one by one choking on smoke and coughing constantly, plus tears and snot flowing, listening to Chen Shao's shouting and leaning closer.
Chen Shao also coughed constantly, his blackened face had tears, and when the snot flowed down, he was close to the robe because he was constantly yelling.
It's time to withdraw, they can't find the location of the enemy's commander, the chaos has been done, the fire has been set on fire, this is the task of nine deaths, yes, but that "life" means that they don't have to die, why don't they run.
The environment was full of smoke, and the crowd waited for the wolf to be unbearable but ecstatic in their hearts, and they began to break through under the leadership of Chen Shao, and at this time the entire enemy camp was in chaos.
Kaimingpan, who was attacking, waited until the camp behind him was full of smoke and smoke drifted into the sky to know that the old nest had been attacked, because the killing sound on their side was shocking, and the noise from the camp was muffled. In this era, there was no radio, and when something happened, you could still watch the flags during the day, but at night you could only rely on people to run and make announcements.
People run around and tell you, the environment is not complicated under the distance of several miles, and it can't be fast, let alone Lingnan, an area full of forests? Therefore, when Kaimingpan and the tribal leaders knew that they were being attacked, they had to determine how many enemies were attacking, their own losses, and what the situation was on the scene.
Attacked at night? Looking at the situation in the camp from a distance, looking at the sky-high fire and the smoke that almost filled the entire sky, and then listening to the sound of everything in the camp, you can imagine what kind of chaos should be inside.
"......" Kaimingpan had an expression that didn't know what to say.
Kaimingpan can be sure that there will not be too many enemy troops attacking the camp, after all, Lu Zhe's army on the west bank is already at the end of the crossbow, and there will not be many manpower on the premise of holding the camp. In addition, the night attack itself is the nature of a sneak attack, and it is possible to touch it quietly if there are few and fine, and if there are many people, it will be a strong attack rather than a sneak attack.
But what's the use of knowing that?
"Keep attacking," Kai Mingpan looked at the tribal leaders with panicked expressions: "The enemy army is desperate, which means that they really can't hold on." â
In addition, there is no need to say that the camp is already in chaos, and once the soldiers are in chaos, don't talk about how they can stop the chaos lightly, they can only stop when the soldiers themselves are exhausted and the chaos will stop by themselves. Before that, what kind of pressure and what kind of suppression is just to exacerbate the chaos.
The tribal leaders looked at each other for a while and nodded heavily, they didn't know so much truth, but they also understood that if they worked harder, they could attack the core of the enemy's camp in front of them, and they were indeed unwilling to retreat at this time.
They didn't know what the choice they made meant and what the consequences would be, regardless of the fact that the Lu Zhe military camp in the rear, which was focused on attacking the west bank, was a correct combat choice to be able to capture it at any time, but because of negligence, there were no high-ranking people to go back and bring people to extinguish the fire, and the rain that should have continued intermittently did not come, and this fire was gradually spread, and finally formed a monstrous fire with a radius of nearly dozens of miles...... (To be continued......)
