The Brown Army, a term that terrifies the Chilean and Bolivian armies, is a group of killers from hell who can defeat the guards of an entire saltpeter mining area with their bare hands, and then easily repel the regular Chinese army that rescues them.

They were elusive, they were broken into pieces, they waved pennants that they had never seen before, and on them were written words that no one knew.

They have countless trumpets and gongs, and every bloody battle always starts with overwhelming noise, they are very good at creating chaos, they will not let the opponent figure out the direction of their attack, when you are disturbed by the chaotic flags and sounds, you will soon find that the war has suddenly entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

The extra-long and heavy Taiping Knife was simply not something that bayonets and light swords could withstand, and coupled with the fact that these people were almost frenzied and did not care about their own life or death, the war often ended the battle after only one or two charges.

The fear caused by the Brown Army is far greater than that of the Chilean regular army, and although most battles are fought by the regular army, people always have a natural fear of the unfamiliar, which is due to their nature.

And today, when the banner of the brown army was raised, the psychological pressure of the Peruvian defenders suddenly increased several times, especially those Indian mercenaries who were messing around, and they were even more panicked and frightened.

The Peruvian commanders on the fort had no idea how many brown coats were coming, but they saw the sound of shaking triangular flags and drums everywhere in the southern and eastern formations, and the Chilean artillery had begun to fire, and the smoke of the black powder explosion began to fill, which covered the battlefield with a layer of fog.

"How many enemies are there? 20,000 or 30,000? How many brown-clothed troops are there? Look at the banner, at least more than 20,000, damn it, is the intelligence all wrong? Is it not 10,000 but more Chinese reinforcements across the Pacific?"

"Hold the fort, don't skimp on ammunition, keep firing...... Those brown-clad soldiers are crazy people who love to cut off their heads, aren't you afraid of being beheaded? Don't panic and keep shooting......

The port of Iquique ushered in the first rays of the morning sun in the midst of a fierce battle.

Twenty-five kilometers east of Iquique is a small oasis called Osaka, which is home to only a dozen or so households, and although they cannot grow crops, they can live by selling supplies to the caravans.

When modern people hear the word desert, the first impression in their minds should be the Sahara Desert, and the Chinese think more of the Taklamakan Desert, but the real drought pole of human beings is not where it is, but in Atacama in South America.

It has created 16 years of extremely dry weather without a drop of rain, and there is not even any trace of life in the core desert area, not even single-celled organisms, and it is known as the closest area to the Martian landform on Earth.

In Xiao Letian's previous life, scientists from the United States and Europe built a laboratory here to simulate the Martian landform and study how to make it inhabitable on Mars.

A NASA scientist once said, "Anywhere on Earth, even in the core of the Sahara Desert, if you pick up a piece of soil, at least you can use a microscope to find single-celled organisms, the simplest bacteria, in it." And in the soil of Atacama, you can't even find bacteria......"

In such arid areas, only the margins can boast some oases, and Ossaka is located on the northern border of the desert, closer to the Peruvian side.

More than 20,000 Bolivian troops were stationed last night near the Osaka Oasis, where they were subjected to an unprecedented 'massacre'.

The Taiping army's attack began in the middle of the night, with more than 20,000 troops camping tents densely arranged on the land, covering an area of dozens of acres, and the light of the torches reflected in the desert, looking from afar like a sleepless city.

At the quietest hour of the night, a torrential rain of gunfire suddenly sounded in the south, followed by countless drums and trumpets, flags were waved, and countless figures launched a surprise attack on the camp in the dark night.

As soon as the patrolling sentry fired two warning shots, he was nailed to the desert by a rain of crossbow arrows, and countless torches were lit at the same time, and they rushed towards the Bo army camp like a tide on the ground.

The chaos woke up all the soldiers, and the people came out of their tents, sleepy-eyed, grabbed their weapons, and just tried to fight back, only to find that they had no pants on, and no shoes to be found.

The camp was full of loud swearing, you complained that the pants were gone, he complained that the bullets were lost, and even the rifle was taken by someone else...... The commander of the Bo army cursed angrily, and it was not until a quarter of an hour after the attack that he reluctantly gathered a battalion of troops and counterattacked the area where the attack had taken place.

By this time, the camp closest to the south had turned into a sea of fire, and only a few frightened words in the crowd were repeating "Brown Army" back and forth...... Chinese...... Brown Coats...... Chinese......"

Sure enough, it was the brown army, those commandos armed with Taiping knives were covered by a large number of musketeers and crossbowmen, these hand-to-hand warriors directly killed people and set fire to create a terrifying atmosphere, and many of the heads of the Bo army had just come out of the tent, only to see a flash of cold light and the Taiping knife cut off his head.

Torches lit canvas and cowhide tents, and soldiers in pajama pants jumped out screaming and rolling in the sand.

Of course, there were also some soldiers who gathered to resist in squad and platoon, but chaos had already occurred, and these Chinese and rout soldiers had formed an entangled situation, and the muskets did not work at all at this moment.

When soldiers from other areas of the camp came to help, there were soldiers running around like alpacas and flames soaring into the sky.

Everywhere in my ears were Chinese terrifying shouts of "Taiping...... Kill! Taiping...... Kill!"

"Array...... Intensive Shooting...... Drive them back......" The commander of the Bo battalion said with a trill. With his order, the soldiers of the first battalion divided into three columns and began to shoot in a line of shots, and the front-loading rifled guns cracked into a dense round of bullets, and the brown-clothed army on the opposite side suddenly fell.

"Retreat...... The Taiping army retreated!" The Taiping army who attacked by sneak attack was not in love with war, and when they saw the enemy army in formation, they turned around and left, and before leaving, they threw all the torches on the tent, and soon they merged with the darkness.

"Keep firing! Load! You bunch of shit...... "Unfortunately, no matter how much he urged, the loading speed of the front gun was not fast, and after the second round of firing, those Chinese did not know where to run, and the desert was dark as far as their eyes could see.

The people breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed, and the soldiers began to clean up the scene of the conflict under the command of officers at all levels.

But just as the flames were almost extinguished, suddenly a torrential rain of gunfire rang out from the north of the camp, followed by the sound of drums and trumpets, flags, and firelight.

"Oh my God! the enemy has appeared in the north, and he will return to help...... Hurry back to help!"
