readx;?“ What happened? Ito asked as he rushed out of his tent and grabbed a soldier running past him with a bucket of water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info copy the URL to visit, but before the soldier could answer, he already knew what was happening.

A fire had broken out in the campsite south of his camp near the woods, and it was obvious from the situation that there was more than one place where the fire had started. Didn't you tell the soldiers to be careful with the candles? He couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, and yelled at the soldier who was being held by himself, "Why don't you go and put out the fire quickly!" The soldier looked aggrieved, but how dare he speak in front of the general, he immediately bowed his head and ran away.

Ito Otaku was a little annoyed at this time, and couldn't help but look around a few times, and when he was wondering why he hadn't seen Naoki Maruyama yet, he heard a familiar shout, "Ito-san! "Sure enough, Maruyama is running this way while wearing the belt around his waist." It's an enemy attack! Maruyama's words immediately jumped him.

"Where is the enemy?" He couldn't help but look around a few more times, and then asked, "Probably not, right?" If there is an enemy, then how come the rejecting horses and garrisons on the periphery did not warn? ”

"If it weren't for the enemy attack," Maruyama pointed to the guide side, "how could there be more fires at the same time?" ”

Ito was speechless, it is true that many fires in ordinary camps are often caused by many arson attacks by enemies at night, but now I have not heard the noise of the battle, and it is impossible for the enemy to sneak into such a large camp without being discovered, right? Even ninjas can't do such a successful infiltration, right?

Before he could figure it out, he heard three explosions in the woods to the west, apparently firing firearms. Soon sharp-eyed soldiers shouted: "There, there!" Maruyama followed the sound and looked over, and sure enough, something was flying over the woods, and these things were carrying fire, and a meteor-like trail was streaked in the air, and they went straight into the camp, and then one by one they exploded with a "boom", and several more fires exploded in the camp at the same time.

"Why don't you go and destroy the harassing enemy?" Ito angrily pointed in the direction where these things were flying and yelled at the generals who were on standby, "Go, go, go!" I don't want to live! ”

"Nope! To live! It's best to catch them all alive! Maruyama hurriedly shouted on the side, waving at the general, "Go!" ”

The subordinate general was wearing a cyan armor at this time, and when he heard Maruyama's supplementary order, he glanced at Ito, who stared at Maruyama with some annoyance, and then nodded at the general, "Go quickly!" Try to catch it alive! ”

Something with a trail of flames rose from the woods again, flying towards it, but it didn't pop when it fired, but it swished through the air. The experienced soldiers hurriedly shouted to the people around them to hide, the sound was all too familiar, it was arrows. As the flaming arrows fell into the camp, some exploded, some did not, and some erupted long flames from their tails, setting the tent next to it on fire.

After a while, a soldier came with one of these arrows, and Ito and Maruyama set up a table in front of the tent, set up a lamp, and put the so-called arrow on the table to check it. This arrow was obviously more than the usual ones they used, and if anything, the crossbow arrows used on the large siege bed crossbow were about the same, and the balance bar at the tail alone was about three feet long. The head of the crossbow arrow was an iron head more than an inch thick, the iron head was more than a foot long, and there were four small wings on it, this thing was obviously a rocket, and it was far larger and longer than the swarm of bee rockets used by the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty.

The first appearance of this thing in the Old Time and Space was in the 19th century, and it was called the Congreve Rocket, and its actual working principle is basically the same as the Cupola Monkey that most of the old time and space veterans played, which is nothing more than a rocket engine with a balance bar behind it to stabilize the trajectory. However, the Vostochny Port version of the rocket has made some improvements, using the slower burning maroon powder instead of the ordinary gunpowder loaded in the old space-time, which can allow the rocket to travel a longer distance. At the same time, the front end of the bomb body is filled with different types of warheads, some are grenades that explode when they land, some are solid reloads for armor piercing, and some are filled with coal tar, which will scatter and catch fire after impact, and even white phosphorus incendiary bombs that will explode in the air. Of course, because the production of the last type is not high, the number that can be used to equip troops at this stage is very small, and because the conditions for storing white phosphorus incendiary bombs are too complicated, the military department of the Senate is worried that the natives will take this weapon lightly, so it will not be widely equipped with this weapon of mass destruction in the army in the short term.

However, these units that cannot be equipped with white phosphorus incendiary bombs do not include the special reconnaissance team, which included two arson rockets, three grenade rockets, and one white phosphorus incendiary rocket. But for some reason, all the other five rockets were successfully fired, but the white phosphorus incendiary rocket did not move at all, and was lying quietly in front of Ito and Maruyama at this time.

"This thing is an iron shell?" Maruyama tapped lightly on the body of the rocket, and sure enough, the rocket emitted a dull steel echo, "It seems that something is inside it, and it makes a muffled sound." ”

The ghost knot of the distant earth science is learned by Leng Yue Fan Mo

The ghost of the Far Earth Branch learned from Leng Yue Fan Mo: "Where is the enemy?" He couldn't help but look around a few more times, and then asked, "Probably not?" If there is an enemy, then how come the rejecting horses and garrisons on the periphery did not warn? ”

Ito nodded, and called a soldier to turn on the rocket and take a look. The soldier didn't say a word, he directly pulled out the wakicha and began to pry on the projectile body, but this kind of cast cylindrical projectile body was not so easy to pry open, and even his wakicha was broken before it could be opened.

"You guys are here to help." Seeing that the soldier looked at a loss, Ito called a few soldiers next to him to step forward and pry together, so a few soldiers took iron rods or stones and began to beat on the body of the bullet. Ito sighed and turned to walk backwards. At that moment, he suddenly felt a light behind him, and at the same time, Maruyama in front of him suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his clothes tightly, and pulled him to the side fiercely, and the two of them rolled to the corner of this empty field.

Ito didn't know what was going on, so he quickly turned his head to look again, and the table where the rockets were placed just now was already emitting a dazzling white light. This white light had never been seen before, as bright as day, and white smoke was rising from the table, looking extremely strange in the white light. As soon as he was about to stand up, he heard a scream, and he was stunned for a moment, only to find that several soldiers who were priry the rocket just now suddenly jumped up at this time, some of them were on fire on their heads, some were on fire on their bodies, and what was even more strange was a person, obviously just a little white fire came out of his shoulder, but they were all screaming heartbreakingly, running and jumping wildly in the empty field.

"Help!" Ito hurriedly got up and greeted the side, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly came up and poured buckets of water on them. But something even weirder happened. The fire did not stop burning because of the watering, but burned slowly and tepidly as before. There were also a few soldiers on the side, because they didn't have tools at hand, so they directly slapped their hands twice on the fire point on their bodies, but their hands immediately began to burn, and then they also screamed frantically like the people who had been burned before, and ran around on the ground.

"This fire ......," Maruyama's voice began to tremble, "Isn't it a ghost fire?" Ito also felt very terrible, he hadn't seen a ghost fire, he could often see the ghost fire floating in the air when he was in the cemetery, but that kind of dim ghost fire could be extinguished as long as he blew a breath, how could it be as stained as it is now?

Ito also knew that the people who were on fire were beyond redemption, so he made a gesture to the soldiers who were still in a daze next to him. When the soldiers saw these colleagues screaming and screaming, they saw that the general had given the order, so they immediately drew their knives and stepped forward to kill several of their comrades who were still howling on the spot.

All that was left of the scene was the still glowing table and the rocket above that was still spewing white flames upward, and the smoke that continued to rise floated in the air like a strange grim smile. There were several corpses lying on the ground, still burning and rising with smoke.

"What the hell is this fire?" At this time, Ito was already a little bit of a master of the six gods, "Why is it so powerful?" ”

"It's terrible," Maruyama said dumbfounded, "and when this thing comes out, there will be no rival in the world." If this thing explodes in the air, the ghost fire scatters and falls on our heads, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they will be wiped out in ashes. ”

"But who is attacking us?" Ito was also a little scared at this time, such a terrifying combat power, could it be a new weapon of the Medeno people?

You must know that the Ito army left the South Bank Army without saying hello, and this matter will definitely annoy the new emperor of Hue, who must already be an enemy of the new regime at this time. The new regime, I heard that the forces it fostered were the Maidno people, although the Maidno people have always been to intimidate countries with their strong maritime strength, but they still have a good fighting army, and they have heard many times that the Maidno land army has defeated the barbarians in the territory of the Southern Barbarians. Although he and his army had never faced it, he had always heard that he was invincible and his combat effectiveness was off the charts, and he had never been defeated except for this battle to defend the port of Champong.

He was still very worried about taking people out without saying hello this time, although he looked down on Zhao Ximin and Ruan Wei's troops, but the number of people was there, and his army stretched for twenty miles like a long snake. Such a large-scale operation is nothing more than to settle down on the fact that Annan has no quick reaction ability to deal with them, but if the South Bank Army abandons the Lower Boundary Town and pursues the tail of its own army with cavalry, then it is easy to cause the loss of heavy grain and grass, and the loss of these is naturally a loss of military morale and combat effectiveness. Therefore, during his march, he always ensured that the baggage team was in the position of the middle army, and put the warlike warriors last, and at the same time left a group of about 100 night soldiers to roam about ten miles at the end of the team, so as to ensure that the army following behind could not pursue them.

But what he didn't expect was that the South Bank Army didn't make any movement about their departure, Zhao Ximin just sent his subordinates to take over the military camp built by the fields reclaimed by the Ito Legion with a smile, and only divided two-fifths of it to Ruan Wei, and the two legions just ate the inheritance of the Ito Legion, and in the end, they just pretended to write a letter to the Emperor Li who had just ascended the throne.

Li Shi was naturally furious about the departure of such an elite army, and shouted on the main hall to exterminate the entire Ito army without leaving a living mouth, but after going down to the main hall and discussing with the right minister of Maidno in the imperial study, he knew that he did not have this ability at all. The simplest reason is that Annan has no money, and at first he was full of hope for the emperor's treasury, but after opening it, he found a maximum of twenty or thirty taels inside; The household department is crying poor every day, and after the Maideno people actually grasped the power, they transferred all the money of the household department to the inner treasury under the pretext of poor financial management of the household department, but after the count, it was only one hundred or twenty thousand taels. As for the 150,000 taels of silver promised by the Maidno people before the rebellion, it was even more useless, under the explanation of the right minister's clever tongue, the obsolete equipment used to equip the Annan army was also converted into tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the military salary of the Maidno Marine Corps used to protect the Acropolis also needed to be allocated from this silver at this time, and after several tosses, at most it was less than 50,000 taels of silver that could be given to Annan. The 50,000 taels of silver have to be paid in 20 installments, which is a drop in the bucket for Annan's capital black hole at this time, and it is completely useless.

If you want to send an army to intercept the nearly 40,000 people of the Ito Army, you must send an army of about 100,000 people, and at the level of the Annam army, then 200,000 may not be enough. If you want to completely annihilate the Ito army, then at least 500,000 to 600,000 troops are needed, and even if the battle loss ratio between the two sides is estimated to be 1 to 3, the pension that the Annam army needs to pay is more than 1 million taels. Therefore, after discussions between the two sides, Li finally decided to stop and let the Ito army swagger to defect to the Chinese.

But what they didn't expect was that the two sides had already started fighting before they even made contact. As the advance force of the Chinese armed forces, the special reconnaissance team first launched a strike against the Ito Army.

Although this rocket attack failed to cause a fire in the barracks, it still succeeded in killing and wounding more than 300 people of the Ito Army, burning one-third of the supplies and baggage, and reducing the morale of the Ito Army to a minimum.
