Chapter 277: Mine retreats
"That's a good idea!" After listening to the adjutant's advice, Pikovsky's eyes lit up, and he made a decision at that time to attack the Great Zhou military camp in the middle of the night.
Because in the middle of the night, the Great Zhou army that had just arrived must have slept very dead.
After an early dinner, Pykovsky ordered all the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and then defeat the Great Zhou army in the middle of the night.
Pikovsky never slept, staring at the clock in the tent in a daze.
Although it was already July, there was still a bit of chill on the grasslands in the far north.
Fortunately, the Rus' people have long been accustomed to the cold weather, and they did not feel the slightest chill at all.
When the bell rang at midnight, Pykovsky, who was originally a little drowsy, was suddenly shaken and said, "It's time to go!" ”
Ordered someone to quietly wake up the soldiers who were sleeping in the camp, and under the guidance of the scouts, the Rus' army began to quietly rush towards the direction of the Great Zhou military camp.
For fear of disturbing the Great Zhou army, the Rus' people who sent troops tonight did not ride their war horses and marched on foot.
Fortunately, the military camp of the Great Zhou Anza was not far from the military camp of the Rus, and it only took less than half an hour to drive the army of the Rus' people to the outside of the Great Zhou military camp.
Through the light of the fire in the barracks, Pikovsky found that except for a few patrolling soldiers, the barracks of Da Zhou were quiet, and there was not even a trace of people in sight.
Pykovsky felt that this was a godsend at that time, and once he led his troops to break into the Great Zhou military camp, the sleeping Great Zhou soldiers inside would definitely be in turmoil, and they would not even be able to achieve unified command.
Victory seemed to be within reach, and as soon as the imaginary scene flashed through his mind, Pickovsky ordered an attack on the Great Zhou military camp.
It was less than 100 steps away from the Great Zhou military camp, and the Rus no longer concealed their whereabouts, and they were soon discovered by patrolling soldiers.
The patrol soldiers were about to shout 'enemy attack' when a burst of gunfire rang out in their ears.
I only felt a burst of warmth in my chest, and the patrol soldier looked down, but saw a small hole in my chest at some point, and gurgling blood was flowing out wantonly from the hole.
Before he could feel the pain, the soldier collapsed to the ground, his eyes gradually losing their brightness.
The gunshots rang out, and the Great Zhou army in the camp naturally heard it.
Not only the soldiers below heard it, but even Ma Jinzhong, the commander, also heard the gunshots outside the camp.
At this time, Ma Jinzhong had just laid down to rest, and when he heard gunshots outside, Ma Jinzhong did not have the slightest panicked look on his face.
As an outstanding general, Ma Jinzhong knows that the more this time, the more he must behave more calmly and composedly than before.
If you are already panicking as the coach, aren't the soldiers below even more at a loss?
What's more, Ma Jinzhong, who has rich combat experience, would not be prepared for the sneak attack of the Rus tonight?
……
"Attack!"
Seeing that all the soldiers patrolling the Great Zhou barracks had been killed, Pikovsky shouted and ordered the Rus' soldiers behind him to attack forward.
In Pikovsky's view, although the final outcome of this battle has become a foregone conclusion, his war literacy over the years has taught him that charging into battle should be the business of the soldiers below.
As a qualified commander, he only needs to sit in the rear commander.
The army of the Rus' people was getting closer and closer to the Great Zhou military camp, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than fifty paces.
But inside the barracks, there was no trace of panic.
On the contrary, although there were lights coming out of the tent, no one broke out.
Seeing this scene, a burst of admiration rose in Pikovsky's heart: Da Zhou really deserves to be the first power in the Far East, and in this case, he can do it in the face of danger.
After all, if someone broke out of the tent at this moment, he would definitely become a live target in the eyes of the Rus' people, and the result was naturally self-evident.
Who can enter the Great Zhou Royal Army without a few hearts?
So, after hearing the gunfire coming from outside the camp, they unhurriedly put on their clothes, then took up their weapons and peeked out through the cracks in the tents.
On the Rus' side, when they were less than fifty paces away from the Great Zhou military camp, they began to struggle to move an inch.
The reason for this is not because the Great Zhou army in the barracks began to launch a counterattack against it, but because under its feet, it has already been mined by the Great Zhou army.
In the past, the mechanism that triggered the mine naturally caused an explosion.
It is said that the appearance of landmines is also related to grenades.
Back then, not long after the grenade was created, Zhang Lingyang suddenly thought that the manufacturing method of the mine was basically the same as that of the grenade.
Especially for those land mines, the manufacturing method is extremely simple.
Therefore, soon after, Zhang Lingyang ordered the Firearms Bureau to start developing mines.
With Zhang Lingyang's big bug, the development of mines is not a difficult task.
In less than a month, the world's first landmine appeared.
Whether it is a grenade or a landmine, it is the existence of a big killer, and it is strictly sealed by Dazhou as a secret weapon, and the outside world has no way of knowing.
A loud noise from under his feet kicked up a cloud of dust, and the Rus' people within a radius of three meters were tossed to the ground by the shockwave they were holding, and then lay on the ground groaning in pain.
When the other Rus' people saw this scene, their minds seemed to be confused for a moment.
After all, they had no idea that there was such an object as a landmine in this world.
However, the commander of the Rus, Pikovsky, did not regret the lives of the dead soldiers.
Although he was also surprised that Da Zhou had a weapon that could be detonated underground, this was a good time to attack Da Zhou's military camp, and he did not hesitate to give the order to continue the attack.
The Ross soldiers were somewhat afraid of weapons that could explode underground, but they were even more afraid of the wrath of their commanders.
Under Pykovsky's loud orders, he could only grit his teeth and move forward to continue the attack.
Unlike the reckless running before, now, every step the Ross soldiers take is careful and very cautious.
Explosions rang out one after another, and from time to time there were soldiers' kitchen knives and mines, which were blown apart.
When the soldiers who survived by luck saw this, they hesitated even more.
Seeing his comrades-in-arms fall to the ground one after another, the desire to survive finally overcame the fear of the commander and began to retreat.
No matter how much Pikovsky scolded and stopped, it didn't work at all.
On the side of the Great Zhou military camp, the soldiers in the camp tent saw that the mines began to explode, and the Rus began to panic, and in the end, the Rus retreated like a tide, knowing that the time was ripe for a counterattack, and began to rush out of the camp and fire at the Rus outside the camp.
At night, it was dark all around, and I couldn't see anything clearly, so my head was naturally not so accurate.
But fortunately, I don't know who shouted: "Hurry up and use the grenade!" ”
