Chapter 6: Cleaning the Battlefield
At this time, Qian Longzhou was also a little dumbfounded. As soon as he heard that he had encountered the enemy, he had already put on his tactical vest, and the seven or eight pistol magazines he had borrowed from other patriarchs were also loaded with bullets, presumably no matter how bad his marksmanship was, he would at least be able to fight his way out of the attack of the barbarians. But the brute soldiers were scattered before they could even rush to a distance of 30 meters, and what he didn't expect was the magical creature he saw when he followed the group of soldiers of the baggage company to clean up the battlefield - dinosaurs!
Dinosaurs are creatures that anyone with a minimum of biogeography education knows very well, this creature once dominated the earth tens of millions of years ago, but died in the face of an ecological catastrophe of unknown origin. Although there are still people on Earth from time to time who claim that the Loch Ness Monster and the Kanas Loch Monster are dinosaurs, or some people claim that there were Brontosaurus and Pterodactyl in the Congo, no one has ever produced actual evidence to prove or catch a living individual. So in the consciousness of ordinary people, no one could have imagined that they could see a living dinosaur in front of their eyes. However, at this time, these bipedal dinosaurs, which were about two meters tall and three meters long, were definitely alive...... They were looking in horror at the red-clad soldiers who had just killed their masters, fidgeting and trying to break free from the reins, and not far away lay several bipedal and quadruped dinosaurs, which had been killed by stray bullets after entering a hundred meters, some of them had died directly through their brains, and some had died of blood loss from having pierced their arteries. Looking at these giant beasts, some of which were bigger than elephants, Qian Longzhou felt a little weak from time to time. But the Annan soldiers beside him looked a little unimpressed.
"These giant beasts come with them every year when the Southern Barbarians come to attack, and there is also a kind of giant beast with big horns on its head, and they used to drive that kind of giant beast to attack the city." Ruan Wenyu kept harvesting the brute's head with his hands while checking the brute's mouth. "Great!" He excitedly lifted the brute's head and said, "There are even gold teeth in it!" ”
"Huh?" Qian Longzhou couldn't help but turn his head to look over, Ruan Wenyu was holding an extremely terrifying-looking brute's head in one hand, it was already empty below the neck, and it was still dripping blood, the brute's eyes were rolling upwards, his mouth was wide open, it was estimated that he wanted to open his mouth and shout at the last moment...... Pointing at Ruan Wenyu's bayonet, sure enough, there were a few gold teeth in the bloody mouth. Although this money dragon boat has let go of a gun on the defense line of the lumber mill and is a character who has killed countless people in the game, when has he ever seen such a situation of cutting off his head? Immediately turned around and vomited.
Ruan Wenyu looked at the former chief instructor with a little indifference, laughed secretly, walked over and stroked his back. His trust in Qian Longzhou was a little less than before, because the things Qian Longzhou had told him before the battle had not happened at all, and the attack on these five hundred men under Lu Qi's command was a complete victory.
Qian Longzhou also knew that the morale of this army had just won the battle, and no one would listen to what he said, so he simply vomited for a while and got back into the baggage car.
By the time the soldiers had collected the heads and counted them, a total of 315 brute heads had been cut in this great victory, ten bipedal behemoths were killed, five four-legged behemoths were killed, and five bipedal behemoths and three four-legged behemoths were captured. This was a great victory that had not been achieved since the beginning of the southern barbarian invasion of the north, and the auxiliaries who arrived from Champa port carried all the barbarian heads, which were to be sent to Champa port for exhibition and embalming with lime, and then to the capital city of Hue. Hue is more than 600 miles away from Champa Port, and it takes at least 10 days to arrive on the road. Because Hue is located inland, and the Southern Dynasty has been working hard for Hue for decades, it can be said that it is impregnable at this time, and Hue is bypassed every time when the South and North invaded. The people of Hue have seen the Nanban kill the past every year, but they have never seen the king go south to expel the Nanban, and the head sent over this time will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole of Hue.
At this time, the princess was full of joy and removed the disguise on her face, showing her true face, and she was the biggest winner in this victory. First, this new army, which was able to defeat the Southern Barbarians with fewer enemies and more enemies, was her own army; Second, although she did not give an order in a normal battle, the battle was still won under the "wise guidance of the princess"; Thirdly, these more than 300 heads are definitely the best gift to the emperor, and the best excuse for the emperor to be able to give her more power. The excited soldiers are now holding their spears high in their hands and shouting at Princess Mountain. The soldiers were also very happy this time, they cut so many heads this time that they couldn't believe it, the most one guy directly cut sixteen, which is eight taels of silver, in this Annan is equivalent to the feeling of becoming a rich man overnight. Even if the soldiers who did not cut off their heads must have a reward after the war, although the total number is only a few thousand taels, it will not be a lot, but the total number of this army is only about five hundred, and it is definitely a big reward when it is evenly divided.
It was only after Lucci had given the order to assemble three times that the ecstatic army began to assemble, and quite a few soldiers were still searching for belongings on the corpses of the brutes. The people who cleaned the battlefield found a lot of things that were burned and looted by these barbarians, and because these barbarians did not trust the people around them, they tried to bring as much looted property as possible with them.
"Beat the assembly drum again, and if you don't come again, you'll be shot!" Lu Qi shouted an order to the herald next to him, and several soldiers nearby who were still searching for corpses quickly returned to the queue after hearing this, leaving only those who were still happily rummaging through the pile of corpses in the distance.
The princess rode over and asked Lu Qi, "Chief Instructor, why are you in such a hurry?" It's only been half an hour, and you're about to go? ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this place is not easy to defend, if the enemy has so many enemies to attack, it will be difficult for us to defend, Her Royal Highness Princess must not want to see the new army suffer huge casualties, right?"
"But we've just won a big victory, and the barbarians don't necessarily have the courage to come back right away. If we rest here for the night, we will reward the three armies, and at this time, with the power of a great victory, we can annihilate the main force of the barbarians in one fell swoop, and we can rescue the captured population and recapture the looted property. ”
"Princess! It is not easy to defend, and if we camp here, too close to the forest to the south, if the enemy comes from lurking and sets a fire, it can inflict great losses on our army. Our army's weapons are all firearms, and once they encounter a fire, they will inevitably suffer huge casualties, and if they fall short at that time, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
"Even if it's inconvenient to camp here, you don't need to rush to leave now, right?" The princess thought for a moment and then said. "In ancient times, the siege of the city was still free to loot for a few days as encouragement, at this time it was just for them to obtain the items on the dead barbarians, but now the morale is high, if they are forced to give up the opportunity to clean up the battlefield, it must have an impact on the morale of our army, and please think twice about the chief instructor."
Lu Qi was speechless now, at this moment he knew that Qian Longzhou was depressed when he was removed as the chief instructor at that time, although now he seemed to be a commanding commander, this princess was so tossed that he could not command the army. He had no choice but to give up.
Night soon fell, and a breeze came from the sea, mixed with the smell of the sea and the blood of the corpses, and Luffy sat a little bored in his tent. He had planned to step up his efforts today, crossing the forest in front of him and then camping at the edge of the forest, but at this time, it took almost five hours just to clean up the battlefield, and by the time the brutes were basically naked or even disemboweled, it was already dark. In desperation, he had no choice but to camp on the spot. In order to prevent the barbarians from stealing the camp, he also specially sent double posts. However, he always felt uneasy, and every half an hour he went to the south to check on his post.
The results of the inspection were satisfactory to him for the time being, and it was only the first half of the night, except for a few soldiers who counted the belongings they had found while standing guard, everything was normal. But he always felt a little panicked in his heart, and a sense of emptiness that he didn't know what was going to happen shook in his heart, and he couldn't rest at peace.
He had to go and check the post one more time. It was normal to the south, but a soldier on the west side left his post, and he heard from the soldier on the same post that he had gone to relieve himself.
"When did you go?" Lu Qi asked casually, these soldiers are not as elite as the People's Liberation Army, and some of them often leave their posts at will.
"Half an hour ago." The soldier replied nonchalantly. As he spoke, he also pointed to the west with his right hand and said, "That's where I went, I don't know if I fell to my death, so I waited for him alone for a long time." ”
At this moment, suddenly a group of birds on the opposite side were alarmed, and with a loud flapping of wings and the chaotic call of birds, there seemed to be many shadows shaking in the distance.
"What's that?" Lucci was short-sighted, but he still vaguely saw that something seemed to be moving, but the soldier standing guard was night blind because he had rarely eaten vitamin A food, and he could only hear birds fluttering at this time, but he could not see anything. At this time, when I looked at his hand, I could only see that it was all black.
At this moment, several feathered arrows suddenly flew from a distance, several of which pierced the soldier's chest, and he fell to the ground with a scream, and died after two thrashes of his legs. And Lucci escaped because he was wearing a camouflage uniform and was not detected.
The cry also alarmed the barracks, and many soldiers came out of the tents with rifles, and they stood in front of the tents and looked in the direction of the sound, either with silver coins in their hands or with treasures that they did not know where the brutes had stolen. At this moment, an incomprehensible roar erupted from the west side of the camp, and hundreds of torches were lit......
