Chapter 879: Shock, Explosion, Shock, Thunder, Scattering
Not to mention whether the commander of the Henan Army can catch those who keep attacking them, the damage caused by those attacks alone, and the chaos in the army caused by them, are enough for him to have a headache for a while.
The 20,000 troops of the Henan Army are a three-army lineup composed of 2,000 vanguard front army, 15,000 main force Chinese army and 3,000 rear army.
The 120 soldiers sent by Wang Rensong in charge of the attack, taking advantage of the cover of the night, relying on the strong mobility and super endurance of their mounts, launched hundreds of attacks on the three armies of the Henan Army in one breath after discovering the Henan Army.
First of all, ten squads continued to attack the vicinity of the vanguard front army of the Henan Army, and constantly threw harassment mines produced by the Ministry of Industry of the Five Merchants Alliance to those Henan Army, and almost every impact would throw out more than ten harassment mines. To put it bluntly, these harassment thunders are actually non-lethal weapons that rely on the huge sound waves emitted when they explode to deter enemy soldiers and horses.
However, although it is a non-lethal weapon, the loud sound emitted by the explosion of these harassment mines is enough to deafen a normal person and make people fall into dizziness for a short time. If an ambush is cooperating with the harassing troops, after the harassing troops use harassment to deafen and stun the enemy troops, and then use the ambush soldiers to kill the enemy in one fell swoop, they can inflict maximum damage on the enemy troops.
However, these raiding squads of the Five Merchants Alliance did not ambush their troops to cooperate with their actions, and their goal was not to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, but only to plunge the enemy army into chaos and delay their advance to Yanshi County. Moreover, the number of harassing mines they carried was not enough to completely deafen and stun the army of 2,000 men. They used those harassment mines, in fact, for another tactic.
The 20,000 vanguard front army of the 20,000 Henan Army is a pure cavalry system, although some of them are third-rate masters at the end of the rivers and lakes, but most of them are unpopular warriors who have a little bit of cultivation but are a little stronger than ordinary people, and with their strength, it is not without them that they can resist the deafness and stunning effect of harassing thunder, but their war horses must not be able to withstand the loud noise and vibration generated when the harassing thunder explodes.
Horses have a hearing sense many times greater than that of humans, and while the huge sound waves generated by the explosion of harassing thunder can only cause deafness and stunting to those warriors, it can directly cause death to those war horses. But even if those war horses can resist the huge sound waves generated by the explosion of harassing thunder, it is inevitable to be frightened. As soon as those horses were frightened, it would cause great confusion to the two thousand vanguard troops, and the resulting delay in the march would certainly have an effect.
In fact, those ten squads attacked several times before and after, and no more than a hundred harassment mines were thrown. Although it is the size of a quail egg, its structure is unstable and can easily be bumped and shattered. As a result, each of them was only allowed to carry a maximum of twenty pieces, and they were all placed in special leather goods.
However, these 100 harassment mines were almost thrown by 50 people from the ten squads of the elite army of the Five Merchants Alliance at every angle of the 2,000 vanguard front troops of the Henan Army, which can be said to completely cover this vanguard force within the scope of the harassment thunder. In this way, when these harassment thunders explode, the huge sound waves generated by those explosions will continue to disturb the war horses of the front army of the Henan Army from all angles.
In fact, when the first harassment thunder exploded, the five war horses closest to the harassment thunder were directly shocked by the huge sound wave and exploded their internal organs, and blood immediately gushed out from the facial features of those poor horses, and the owners of these horses were also too close to the explosion point, and at the moment of the explosion, they felt their ears shake violently, and they couldn't hear any sound at once, and their minds were even more shocked, and the whole person fainted one by one, and they fell to the ground directly with their dead love rider.
As for the five unlucky horses and the comrades-in-arms next to their unlucky masters, they were unlucky. Those war horses were frightened by the huge sound waves, and they all jumped and ran uncontrollably, and the soldiers on their backs were shocked by those sound waves, although they did not pass out, but they were also dizzy, and naturally they couldn't control their war horses in the first place.
It is also natural that most of these soldiers who can't control the war horses have been thrown off the horse's back by those frightened horses, and only a few clever ones feel that the situation is wrong, so they subconsciously lean down and hug the neck of the war horse, so they have not fallen off the horse.
But those who fell off their horses were miserable, and those horses were in a frightened state, jumping and running, and they trampled on the warriors who fell off their horses.
