Chapter 617: Time Flies (7)

They not only explored the terrain and understood the details of Ouluo country, but also made a considerable amount of material reserves for the war patterns that might be encountered, including many crossbows of various colors used against the war elephant troops of Ouluo country.

The so-called equipment unit is a new formation after the repeated reorganization of the Han army, the formation of the troops, as its name suggests, is to concentrate a large number of equipment to form a special system, when Puyi appeared in order to target a large number of siege warfare that will inevitably occur after sending troops to the north, the equipment troops that accompanied the Southern Expeditionary Corps to unify the invasion of Ouluo is a matter of great concern to all the corps of the Han Army.

The battle in the north is still a plan on paper, but the military operation in the south against the Ouyu country is already underway. The Han army thinks that Ouluo is a country, so there will be some cities, right?

The formed equipment unit has gone through so many exercises, although there are also special cities built for simulation, but after all, it is an exercise in the mode of illusion, how can it be compared with a real war? No amount of training can compare to a real battle, and at the request of many generals, Lu Zhe simply agreed to send an equipment unit south to invade the Ouluo country.

Of course, what the military wants to see is that the equipment troops are used in siege warfare, and see what the performance of those weapons will be in actual combat, but Luo Shao intends to use it to deal with the war elephant troops of the Ou Kingdom in the field, and I have to say that things have changed here.

Instruments are never so easy to transport, after all, as long as they can be called instruments, the volume will inevitably not be small, but what kind of person is Lu Zhe. The concept of a disassembly and reassembly will certainly be proposed, and then through the craftsman to refine, a set of practical methods will naturally appear.

The equipment troops that accompanied the invasion of the Southern Expeditionary Corps were able to move south because the equipment could be disassembled and reloaded. Otherwise, I don't know how many roads to build and how many people to be dispatched to ensure that I can keep up.

As the commander of the equipment unit, Chen Shao left immediately after receiving the order, and he should go and order the soldiers to assemble the equipment quickly. Because they were to deal with the war elephant troops of the Ou Yu Kingdom, they needed to assemble all kinds of large crossbows, and the rest of the equipment needed for the siege was exempt.

The retreat before they could contact the Han army, the whole Ouluo country was in a state of excitement, and they began to think that the Han army was actually not much of a big deal. If it's really as fierce as the rumors, why run away before the fight even starts?

Kaimingpan was also confused for a while, and after hesitating again and again, he ordered the troops to make a limited approach.

A limited imminence? So what is the limit? Unclear military orders are often a source of confusion for the commanders of the military.

The commander of the army that led the Ou Kingdom to meet him was a member of the Enlightened Royal Family, named Enlightened Festival. In fact, he should have sent someone to confirm the military order again, but because the Han army fled without fighting, a group of generals who were stimulated by the noise also felt that the power of the war elephant army was unstoppable by manpower, and slowly felt that the Han army should be given a painful lesson.

The retreat of the vanguard of the 5,000 Han Army was not a small distance. They kept retreating five miles in alternating echelons before stopping. After stopping, they also began to cut down trees and set up camp.

Zhou Kang had already received orders from the Chinese army during the camp, and what they needed to do was to erect a silhouette of the camp first, and the outline of the camp needed to be able to accommodate at least 100,000 people.

OMG! A camp of 100,000 people? What a camp that is! At least a ten-mile camp, can five thousand people stand up in a moment and a half?

Zhou Dang didn't worry for long, the scout reported that the army of Ou Yu Kingdom caught up, and just after listening to this report, another scout told him that there was an army that was close to three miles.

The Ouluo army that caught up seemed to be a vanguard, probably an infantry army of about 3,000 people, and behind these 3,000 people there were the rest of the Ouluo army.

"Hey, hey!" Zhou Dang smiled when he knew that the various armies of the Ou Kingdom were out of touch: "The three thousand enemy troops in front are at least two miles out of touch with the enemy forces in the follow-up. Do you know what it means to be separated by two miles in this complex terrain? ”

Nonsense, a group of military marquis are already yelling "it". All of them thought that only 2,000 men were needed to defeat the enemy's 3,000 forwards, and another 1,000 crossbowmen might be able to use the difficult terrain to ambush the Ouluo Kingdom to rescue the forward troops.

"The king seems to have said 'one Han should be five hu'?" Zhou Dare looked around at the officers with a strong desire to fight: "The enemy army in the south is not Hu, it should be barbarian or barbaric, but it doesn't matter, let's confirm what the king said is true!" ”

Inexplicably, this is, in fact, Zhou Dang, a foolish and bold thinker, that camping should not be disturbed, and that troops should be sent to block the pursuing enemy troops, and he is using language to enhance the belligerence of the officers.

The two thousand wisteria armor soldiers and the thousand crossbowmen were quickly assembled, and they soon marched southwest with a single command.

The three thousand forwards of the Ou Yu Kingdom chased quickly, and because they were chasing with contempt or excitement, they ran without any formation to speak of. But then again, does the army of the Ouluo Kingdom pay attention to the formation in battle? Even if you pay attention to the formation, in an environment full of dense vegetation and trees, it seems that you can't arrange a lot of formation, right?

The Han army was about two miles away from the camp point and engaged the 3,000 forwards of the Ou Yu Kingdom, and the beginning of the battle began with several consecutive waves of dense arrows, but it must be admitted that the power of the crossbowmen in the dense forest environment was really not very good, and most of the arrows shot were hindered by tree trunks, and only a few could really threaten the enemy.

After several waves of ineffective arrow rain, the Han soldiers who were lined up in formation shouted "The Han army is mighty", and then held a war knife in one hand and a small round shield in the other, and took steps one echelon after another.

The dense forest environment has a poor view, and the casualties under several waves of arrows are not too strict, and the forward of the Ou Kingdom has been frightened for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that there were dense enemy troops standing in front of him, and they were just about to make a move but they heard the opposite side shouting in unison, and then the enemy charged.

The officers on the Ouluo side were also shouting, and the shouting was not really heard in the gradually noisy environment, but it would definitely not be "Hua'an Lakba", it was probably a slogan of "fighting for the king or something".

The two armies that issued the "Declaration of Engagement" charged one after the other, and they soon collided with each other, and in an instant the armor and flesh collided with each other very frequently.

Although the Ouluo Kingdom was established by the enlightened clan of the ancient Shu Kingdom, there are not many people who really belong to the Chinese race, and the majority are generally the Dravidian race and the Aryan race.

What is the Dravidian race like? In fact, it is a kind of modern Indians, their skin is darker, and their stature is generally not high, it should be 1.5 to 1.6 meters for the mainstream height; It is estimated that many people will not be unfamiliar with the Aryan race, in fact, they are a type of white-skinned people, but they are not as tall as modern times, and the current mainstream height rarely exceeds 1.6 meters.

It must be noted that the Dravidians and Aryans did inhabit South Asia in BC, and they did breed not only in this land, but also in Indochina and even in the southern part of the Middle East.

Among today's civilizations, it is known that the Nordic race and the Yanhuang race are taller, which is due to genetic relationships, in fact, it is more related to eating habits. For example, the Qin people, who have no shortage of livestock, basically have the habit of eating mutton and beef, and the soup is basically bone broth, so that the Qin people, who are also of the Yanhuang race, are much taller than the people of other countries.

What was the scene when the majestic Han soldiers, who were generally above 1.8 meters, collided with the short soldiers of the Ou Yu Kingdom? Everywhere you can see tall Han soldiers holding shields in the charge, and then the soldiers of the Ou Kingdom are knocked out under the rush of the Han soldiers with running propulsion and great force.

It was really knocked into the air, not knocked down, the Ouluo soldiers who were knocked up and flew up let out a shout of "babbling wow", they could have hit the tree trunk in the process of flying, or they could have smashed their companions behind like a cloth bag, but it was absolutely impossible to see that there were Han soldiers who were in a weak position in the collision.

In the era of cold weapons, the fight was far more important than the hot weapons, so it was no surprise that the contest between the two armies was an absolute advantage for the tall and strong Han soldiers. At the same time, although the Han army charged in echelons, when waiting for the two sides to fight, they were immediately divided into a group of five people to cooperate in a team. In terms of height and physique, coupled with the coordination of the team, it would be strange if the battle scene was not one-sided.

As the squad of the Han soldiers became more and more comfortable with each other, the soldiers of the Ou Kingdom who could still rely on the numerical advantage to compete at the beginning lost their numerical advantage because of the continuous attrition, and the morale of the army would inevitably collapse once the attrition reached a certain number, not to mention that the soldiers of the Ou Kingdom could see with their own eyes that the Han soldiers and soldiers were like monkeys, killing one after another people wearing the same uniforms as themselves, and the fear made more and more soldiers of the Ou Kingdom turn around and start to run away, and the soldiers of the Ou Kingdom who were far away from the Han Army could naturally turn around and run. But what about those who were entangled with the Han army?

Collective is a very special word, if everyone is working towards the same will, these people are an extremely resilient collective. But once there are deserters in the collective, those who have the courage to hold on to it will inevitably waver in their beliefs and will soon join the collapse of the group.

It can't be said that it is a mistake for Enlightened Pan to say that the Ouluo army sent out is elite, no matter what the difference between their height and physique is with the Han army, at least they still have the courage to fight with them, and even if they are in a disadvantageous situation at the beginning, they still muster up all their strength to get back, and they don't collapse immediately after a slight collision, isn't it?
