Chapter 571: Fueling Tactics
An encounter ended like this, just a few rounds of shooting, not even a test of the water, you know, these are elite longbowmen who have undergone long-term training, not to mention heavy longbows, and they can't deal with natives, but each of them is a master who can shoot 200 rounds in a row.
Similar to defensive operations, is the most able to exert the power of the longbow, if the opponent continues to attack, a simple 200 rounds of shooting, can already annihilate the vast majority, 300 archers 200 rounds, 60,000 arrows, even if it is a 3% hit rate, can kill 1800 people, a few rounds, just the beginning.
Just as soon as the attack began, the natives fled in a hurry, and the Dinghai soldiers located on the top of the building relaxed a little and began to prepare for the next attack, of course, this attack is so easy, the next attack will definitely not be strong, the threat of death is reduced, and everyone is a lot more relaxed.
In the highest place, a specially made bunker, Sun Yue held a telescope and looked at the unruly retreating natives.
Said to be an army, really a little overlooked them, the team of 2,000 people, after losing 150 people, has already collapsed, at this time, not much, even if there are only 50 cavalry, he can chase the natives, all the way to the other party's hometown.
After realizing the fighting power of the natives, Sun Yue had time to review all the decisions he had made before.
Some conservatives are sure that in this strange place, in the face of the absolute superiority of the natives, if he chooses again, before he knows the combat strength of the natives, I am afraid that there is only such a choice.
The reason is very simple, if you know that the other party is more than 2,000 people coming, no matter how you fight, there will be no big problem, his approach is a little conservative, but what if it is more, is it 5,000, 8,000, or even 10,000?
This is not impossible, Ding Haijun's understanding of the Ryukyus is only slightly higher than that of the completely unknown Song people, the Gaoshan tribe, and the natives deep in the mountains, he does not know.
There are really not many soldiers in the Dinghai Navy who have participated in the war, Sun Yue knows this very well, even if he has never really been on the battlefield, but he has felt it at a relatively close distance, just like that, the feeling of the army pressing the realm makes him breathless.
Under the premise that these soldiers of the Navy can only fight with the wind, under such a premise, if the morale of the whole collapses, or under the premise that there are too many losses, there will be problems, and as long as half of them are dead, it will be very difficult to defend.
After the natives fled, they did not give up, even if the losses were further increased, but for the owner of the village, it was even more angry, and at the same time, in the process of fighting, they found that the other party's weapons were very sophisticated, but there were fewer people.
At this moment, on the premise that I don't know anything about the building and the siege, the illusion of the owner of the village is, I think I can win.
This illusion, under the premise of the present, will become the deadliest thing.
This encounter was very fast, from beginning to end, there was no direct face, just the Dinghai shot some arrows, here, the natives' military literacy was very low, but there was no cover around, and there were no mountains under the premise, they still fled back, and gathered.
The loss is not large, plus there is no return, including the scattered, the natives have lost 200 people, which is not a small loss for the natives, but it is acceptable.
The conservative idea of the navy to hold the camp steadily, under their interpretation, has become synonymous with lack of strength and timidity, and they may be able to capture it with more effort.
On that day, the natives did not leave, but set up camp around the area and began to scout the camp.
After Sun Yue found out, he didn't know whether to be funny or angry.
From the very beginning, he was not prepared to fight a war of annihilation, the strength at his hands was limited, and he did not have the ability to annihilate the entire natives of the Ryukyus, which was impossible.
If these natives had fled in all directions after the initial losses, in the future, after the establishment of naval superiority, they would not have turned over the old scores.
Now, the other party actually stayed, and he didn't give up, and wanted to continue to act against the Dinghai Navy, in this case, it was not that he was ruthless, but that the other party was looking for death.
The natives are not good at fighting, and they are so greedy, they really think that this casualty is all, so let them see it.
With the strength of the navy's reconnaissance force, it is almost impossible for the natives to ambush, and after a simple arrangement, there are about 400 people on hand, plus some other personnel, who are heavily armored and can participate in the defense, he has a decision.
There were about 200 people, stabilized the camp, and then sent about 200 elite troops to come out quietly.
The natives are the natives, they can't even be called the militia, they are at most a gang fighter, not a real fight, they don't realize that someone will sneak attack.
However, the previous attack was unsuccessful, and they also thought of something, looking around for all kinds of wood, who knows, the nearest one, is also 3 kilometers away, especially the giant wood that can be picked up by more than a dozen people.
In order to break through the camp, they also began to prepare, and did not hesitate to run several kilometers away to cut down.
Heavy giant trees, in ancient times, are not valuable, under the premise that the development of various places is relatively weak, the price of the giant wood itself is not large, but the cost of transportation, is very terrible.
Similar to the super giant trees used to build palaces, if they want to transport them from the depths of the mountains to the capital, the cost is not ordinarily large, so at any time, as long as the palace is built, it must be a matter of labor and money.
In itself, he was ready to counterattack and defeat them in the next natives attack, but who knew that the previous arrangement had a result, and those natives actually cut down without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
There were about 1,800 men left, and 12 more felling teams were dispatched, and there were less than 800 people in the camp.
Such a bold move, under the monitoring of the telescope, there was no omission, and at the critical moment of the indigenous division of troops, Sun Yue immediately responded and took the initiative to attack.
Different from other buildings, if you want to take the initiative to attack, there is a lot of movement, and the advantage of Dinghai's tools allows Dinghai to dig some tunnels in the camp.
With only a team of more than 300 people, it was also relatively flexible, and soon quietly emerged from the closest place to the indigenous camp.
At this time, the indigenous camp did not realize that the nightmare was coming, and Sun Yue not only sent the most elite longbow, but also carried some gunpowder.
The Dinghai Navy has opened the era of gunpowder, but there is a bit of a lag in the tools carried, and if you insist on it, wooden cannons can also be.
It's just that the accuracy of the wooden cannon is not enough, unless it is defending the city, under the premise of absolute disadvantage, the problem of insufficient manpower can be replaced with wooden cannons.
On the contrary, some bows and crossbows are popular, and the longbow is a conventional weapon, according to the longbow itself, several simple gunpowder weapons have been developed, which are mostly used for less accurate targets by tying them in the longbow and lighting the fuse before shooting.
This time, the natives enjoyed such a feast, 40 gunpowder arrows, just like that, at the first time, shot into the natives' camp, and the natives didn't realize that the nightmare had come.
The gunpowder bag carried by the long arrow is not destined to be very strong, but for the densely distributed camp, it is not so much destruction as disrupting the opponent's camp.
The natives, who had suffered such a big blow, the loss caused by the gunpowder pack may have only been forty or fifty people, which is still a very small number compared to the remaining natives army, but the chaotic camp even opened the door.
The natives did not have a higher level of knowledge, and on the island of Ryukyu, the war between each other was not to catch the mistakes of others, but that everyone made countless mistakes, and who made a little less.
The Dinghai Navy encountered this, in strict accordance with the drill code, from the attack to the ambush, there was no army, almost from the beginning, fell into the disadvantage.
The chaotic camp, which was convenient for the attack of the navy, several rounds of the same longbow, caused greater damage, and after a while, the confusion intensified.
The loss of the natives was more than 150 people, although the loss was similar to the previous attack on the building, but the previous 150 people were for a team of 2,000 people, but the current loss is for a team of 800 people.
Even if it is according to 2,000 people, the loss is more than 300, for a team of only 2,000 people, this is a huge loss, most of them, have not been directly killed, but the number of people killed is really not less,
Unlike the army, under the premise of guaranteeing victory, some losses are acceptable, about one-sixth of the losses, for the natives, it is already impossible to bear, the natives have been completely chaotic, everyone is running around, everyone is shouting.
The heavy infantry, who had already returned to their positions and entered directly from the gate, barely encountered much resistance, and entered the camp.
At this moment, the natives are at their weakest, and at this moment, the elite troops in full armor appeared in the camp and attacked while the natives were fluctuating. became the last straw that broke the camel's back,
The natives did not realize that at this time, they would encounter such a terrible attack, they were defenseless, and all of a sudden, like cutting leeks, were cut to the ground.
Compared with the covering attack of the longbow, at close range, the attack of the elite armor is terrifying, how much lethality can a sharp long knife cause in the crowd.
At this time, the natives did not have much resistance at all, even if there were a few powerful ones, they were in the chaos, in order to take away their way of life, and they blatantly resisted.
However, there is no result, not to mention the most elite heavy armor infantry, this kind of heavy armor covered with pure steel sheets, after preparation, the overall weight is more than 35 pounds, not to mention the natives, even if it is the treasure knife of the Ding Navy, it is not something that one or two knives can cut, let alone the weapons of the natives.
The combination of light armor and half armor is not something that the attack power of the natives can break, and in just a stick of incense, the whole scene has undergone terrible changes, and the Ding Navy has won a complete victory.
In the camp, there were more than 800 people, including some of the so-called cottage elites, including the high-level of the cottage, in the sudden attack, none of them ran away, either killed or captured, 800 people, 500 people were annihilated, and the rest, under the premise of being cornered, chose to surrender.
The battle of the Dinghai Navy did not end because these people surrendered, it was the big ones who went out to cut down trees, and there were 1,000 people, and since the battle had begun, it could not be put back.
The battle of the Dinghai Navy attacking the camp was very fast, before and after, and it did not exceed the time of a stick of incense, but the movement was a little big, as long as the gunpowder weapon was used, the sound of the explosion could not be blocked, not to mention the distance of several miles, even if it was dozens of miles, it could be heard.
If these natives all choose to escape, Sun Yue has no way at all.
Even if the combat effectiveness of the Navy is super strong, in the frontal battlefield, it can fight five at a time, even if it is 400 people against 2,000 people, there is no problem, and it can be won in battle.
But if the other party runs away, then don't chase it, poor Kou Mo chase, no matter how weak the other party is, he is also an indigenous person who is familiar with the environment, born and raised here, and there are too many opportunities in the dense forest.
If there are a few hundred more people in Sun Yue's hands, he will definitely pursue and strive to leave all 2,000 people behind, but unfortunately he only has 300 people, he can symbolically chase them, if they really run away, then there is no way.
The navy is going to attack the core camp of the indigenous people, almost all the high-level and elite are among them, and those who are sent out to cut down trees will definitely not be the core, their ability is limited, and they will not think that it is only a stick of incense, their central camp, the most elite force is finished.
The 12 teams began to rescue the camp, some near and some far, some running fast and some slow, and these became real fueling tactics.
Even 800 people, the natives with a fixed camp, could not support a stick of incense, and the team of dozens or hundreds of people, on the contrary, occupied the numerical advantage on the side of the navy, and even some scouts stared at the results of when they arrived and in which direction, and the outcome was self-evident.
An hour later, the war was completely over, if not the slowest group, it took a full hour to come back, the end was a little faster, the natives came a total of 2,000 people, almost all annihilated, either killed, or captured, only less than 100 people, fled into the mountains and forests, this defensive counterattack, achieved a hearty victory.
