Chapter 180: Under the Soil Barbarians
Between the potholed ground in front of the village and the fields, the precursors that have been impacted first, the wooden planks and soil bags that have been thrown away have been paved out, and the unorganized forward passage has come.
Then, the bows and crossbows of thousands of people who had already been ready to fire were fired in unison, forming a multi-level coverage, and most of the walls were emptied at once; And the remaining surviving barbarians also seemed to be frightened and courageous, and they no longer dared to show their heads and come out.
It was not until the moment when the slowly advancing vanguard approached the wall like a rising tide that it seemed to have suddenly woken up, and shouted and roared again to poke out the chaotic figures of many stone-throwing flying targets; It's a pity that most of the thrown kills were put aside by the orderly clanging of the old soldiers in the front row with licensed armor; Even if something leaked into the array, it was almost as if it had been swallowed without ripples or effects.
At this time, the powerful crossbow accompanying the array was once again powerful, and the terrifying power of the improved wooden single crossbow approached within ten steps, almost unimpeded, penetrating the covering objects composed of rattan and planks on these walled walls; And the screaming human body hiding behind it penetrated or nailed to the wall, and blood lines of different lengths flowed out on the wall.
The remnants of the brutes on the wall seemed to be stimulated or frightened, and began to jump down like dumplings, roaring and shouting a few steps to pounce on the approaching rebel forward. Then, like sand and gravel sprinkled on a stone slab, loosely and weakly blocked and knocked over by the array of hands and blinds; And in the terrible scream of the sword and spear stabbing from the column, with the bloody holes and splits all over the body, they rebounded and collapsed;
In the end, the remaining part of the barbarians who had nowhere to escape were squeezed under the wall by the advancing compact array, only to see them wielding the crude knives and axes in vain, and in this howling one after another, they were lightly drowned in the back of the rebel array.
Then, more than a dozen fire pots and poisonous smoke balls that were thrown across the sky also slammed diagonally into the stockade along the calculated basic angles and directions, and suddenly exploded like anthills thrown into the fire.
Under the protection of the brigade, those shirtless and short-crotched assistants armed with axes, chisels, knives, saws and pickaxes rushed out, digging up the wooden walls and covering the earth in front of them with all their might. A moment later, with the roaring shouts of the vanguard soldiers gathered under the wall, a large section of the wall that had been dug up and cut off slowly fell to the ground, and a large mass of fresh soil was overturned and collapsed.
At this time, there was a terrible shout and an uproar from the position of the gate of the wall, and suddenly the gate that seemed to be blocked suddenly opened, and many brute warriors with feathered crests and faces were swarmed and killed; Suddenly, he collided with the pioneer who was pushing a two-wheeled stone cone, collided head-on and became entangled.
After half a ring, Zhou Huai'an began to approach the battlefield and sighed. It is worthy of being the most barbarian village within a radius of 100 miles, in addition to the frontal wall defense, the other party really has some hands and ambushes; In addition to the reserve troops who stayed behind the village to deal with the melee, they actually hid a lightly armed native soldier in the mountains and forests on both sides of the wall, wanting to take the opportunity to sneak into the side of the camp and destroy and kill the rebels who operated the equipment.
It's a pity that the momentum of the counterattack that rushed out of the Zhaimen was very strong, but once it was blocked by the abandoned attacking equipment, there was no advantage in suddenness and impact; Instead, after rushing out of a short distance, he turned over the soldiers who were attacked from both sides, squeezed them into weak strips, and all the corpses that were slashed and killed were piled up.
The sneak attack from the mountains and forests on both wings was even weaker, except for the scattering and killing of some recruited people, causing some confusion and fleeing, and was soon overturned by the reserve team armed with rapid-fire repeaters; Even the edges of those projectors had a chance to be touched, and they had already broken and fled.
It's just that Zhou Huai'an didn't let go of these, and it was easy to run out of the barbarian reason of being familiar with the mountains and forests to send him to death; As the direct team and the apprentice team galloped into the edge of the forest, and after cutting off the retreat of these lightly armed brutes, their morale and physical strength were almost exhausted, and they became captives who were tied up.
And in the frontal battle, after opening the gap and occupying the defenses, under the waving of the small flags, the rebel soldiers stopped continuing to advance, and remained in place condescendingly with abbreviated bows and crossbows, and began to shoot and snipe freely in the unit, in those chaotic stockades, anyone who dared to rise and gather together.
Soon after, another team full of variegated equipment arrived on the battlefield; Then, after a brief negotiation and guidance, in a certain atmosphere of joy and joy, he did not hesitate to rush into the village along the open gate of the Angry Wind Camp and the gap in the wall.
In a sense, they are the main ones who are particularly bitter and bitter against these barbarians, and the local garrison rebels who have suffered from the barbarians and have repeatedly failed to crusade against them; At least they are dealing with these, trying to fight with the old and weak women and children who are already a few men, without any psychological pressure and unnecessary negative effects.
After the battle, most of the money and food in the village went to the Fury Battalion as a guest army; All the captured people will be sorted into young and strong, women, and children, and sent to the camp of the rebels at the foot of the mountain to be used as hard labor to atone for their sins; At the same time, it is also to create a group at the bottom that is exploited and oppressed, so as to enhance the sense of superiority and happiness of those ordinary Tuntian displaced people without material changes.
This is also the successful experience of the Fury Wind Camp in the two states of Chaoxun. As the saying goes, there is no widowhood but unevenness, and after having a more miserable existence than yourself, although you are still tired to death every day as a cow and a horse, you can eat a full meal, but a sense of happiness and identity naturally arises.
"Got caught. Caught. ”
In the midst of the shouting, I saw an old man with a goatee in a cloth robe dragged out, although his head was knocked off, and the shoes on his feet were gone, but a certain kind of superior official bearing could still be seen on his gray face.
"The head of the pipe, I have been forced to ask from the people who are nearby.
Subsequently, the smug detective team reported to Xiao Qi.
"This guy is the old eunuch who can't be found, and he is also the backbone of the local rebellion before. The former official of the Ministry of Rites on the dog day, he also claimed to be the defense envoy of Gaozhou, and awarded officials to those local regiments and township soldiers. ”
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that there were still remnants of local resistance forces hidden in this stockade, including the remnants of the powerful clans that had been eradicated by the rebels, as well as some mountain bandits who had accumulated for years; It was only for some reason that he fell out with the local barbarians, and after a firefight, he was placed under disarmed custody and detention.
After the stockade was broken this time, these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods also took the opportunity to run out, but the relatively closed terrain environment made them still have nowhere to escape, and they were searched and arrested one by one by the righteous army who plundered the village.
。。。。。。。
And on the rugged path hidden in the shade of the mountains behind the stockade, a group full of hatred and tears also embarked on the vast and unknowable escape road;
They are mainly young men and women with better nutrition in the village, most of whom are the descendants of the head people and elders of the Meng clan in the village, and they are also the last blood and seeds of Dong Ke Village; It is responsible for going to other related mountain villages and villages, spreading messages, asking for help, and even seeking refuge and spreading branches and branches when it is impossible to do so.
When they were exhausted by mud and sweat, they went down the cliff one by one with long ropes, and began to go to the deserted ferry where the boats could be lowered down the river in the distance, but suddenly someone fell to the ground with a scream; But in a panic, he stepped on the pit of the hunting beast.
Then, as if bad luck had begun, one after another people stepped on all kinds of pits. Nest bow, and have to be abandoned in crying and pleading, and even scolding and cursing, and idle to continue on the water's edge, which represents life and life.
And in the dense grass not far from the water's edge, Yi Damao, the former hunter-born sentinel leader, was also coldly looking at these sparse figures who stumbled to the edge of the river, and said to a brute boy with a yellow face and thin muscles beside him.
"You've done a great job, and you want whatever reward you want."
"I don't want anything, as long as I can get revenge."
It looked like a brutal boy with obvious scars on his face, but he said with his neck in a stalk
"I want to deal with the thief who killed my sister and forced my father to death."
"Well, it doesn't matter if those women are left to you to be angry. Just don't get killed. ”
Yi Damao couldn't help patting his chest and said, with this young man's ability to lay traps, he had the intention to stay and be used by the rebels.
。。。。。。
Compared with this small episode outside the battlefield, Zhou Huai'an was evaluating the training results of this battle; The enemy, who is not strong and poorly equipped, is undoubtedly one of the best targets for new soldiers to cooperate with the training; Therefore, even those new soldiers who have not been on the battlefield but have only been trained, under the cover of the equipment formation, the specific casualty ratio can even reach one to ten.
Of course, as long as you have seen blood, you are a veteran, these are all deceptions in YY. There is no perennial training, no words and deeds of predecessors, and no years of accumulated experience. A recruit is a recruit, and a recruit who has killed someone is nothing more than a bold recruit.
Do you know squad tactical command?
Do you know the military formation flag order and formation changes?
Do you know how to deal with sudden situations?
Will you be able to take the place in the immediate aftermath of an officer's death?
Can you die generously for the sake of the idea, or for someone who is a pillar of the spirit?
Of course, Zhou Huai'an's subordinates are not so harsh, as long as they can ensure that they are afraid of the spurs of the old pawns and the leader, even more than the swords and arrows of the enemy they face, they can be regarded as preliminarily qualified pawns.
But if you want to be the leader, even if it's a five-headed or a fire chief; Then it is necessary to be able to read more than 100 times to connect with the army, and to develop more and more careful and meticulous military orders and system construction; Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't keep up, go to the garrison and rely on the experience of the past to patrol the place; Or go to the production sequence to serve as the head of the reserve, or even simply retire to the tuntian as a small leader.
In Zhou Huai'an's future planning, the real opportunities and positions are reserved for those young and strong people who are self-motivated; It is precisely with this standard that the influence and corresponding position of those traditional rebels and veteran styles are reversed. He was thinking about the specific details of this adjustment, when he saw Mi Bao, who was in charge of leading the guard at the bottom of the mountain, bring a new news.
"What, the General's Mansion is returned?"
A day later, Zhou Huai'an, who appeared in the new camp in the ruins of Shixiang Town, pretended to be surprised to a military government messenger with a rather faceless face:
"I have thought about my sins and have never dared to obey them."
"Please let me continue to fulfill my duty of patrolling the fields first, and then report to the military government."
"You, how dare you, this is defiance."
The other party was unprepared for Zhou Huai'an's refusal, and couldn't help but be a little anxious and stammered.
"Why don't you dare, isn't what I'm doing on the orders of the military government?"
Zhou Huai'an's face did not change.
"It's just that things have a priority. Of course, the position in front of me is heavy. ”
"How can this be reasonable, you want to make a mess...
The other party became more and more anxious and stuttered.
"Someone Coming"
Zhou Huai'an no longer paid attention to him, and shouted to the outside world.
"This messenger is so tired from work that he has already gotten sick with fever and is dizzy, so he should be sent out to rest and recuperate."
