Chapter 523: Bing Rong 7
In Caozhou, on the official road far away from the Baigou Canal, the hurried military horses and rumbling fish formed a long queue.
I can only hear a thud on the ground,
Walking in the flag-bearer of the first opening of the team, a wave of earth suddenly exploded, and in the smoke and dust that was splashed, the nearest few people standing fell in response, and fell to the ground with a disgraced face, seeing that life and death were unknown.
"It's the soil mine of the Southern Barbarians,"
"Come and find the way......"
"Don't mess around anymore......"
The rest of the people couldn't help but stir, shouting and screaming in place, gathered together, and for a short time let the leading officer urge them, but they refused to continue to advance.
In fact, these hand-set ground mines have caused a deterrent effect in the battle after the break, even surpassing the sporadic harassment of traditional cold guns and cold guns.
Because, as long as in the queue of the enemy, such a shot is given to the middle and above, it is enough to make the remaining people who seek the enemy become suspicious and cautiously slow down and search carefully on the spot.
After all, no one likes to walk on the marching path and suddenly be blown up into the sky with a bang for no reason.
Although these land mines that need to be set up by hand are still very rudimentary, more like some kind of one-way preset explosion point.
The setting of the trigger, due to the skill of the specific hand, the density of soil moisture and the influence of weather and rain, etc., often has cases of failure to explode or complete failure.
And the specific killing effect is also uneven, even if it is good, just listen to a terrifying sound, and even the people who touch it can't be killed.
In addition, the appearance is also relatively clumsy, and it is not good for good camouflage and concealment, so usually, it is preset outside the camp, as a night guard, or an early warning means outside the stronghold.
But now the arrangement of the guò guerrilla regiment, as a triggering psychological deterrent, has caused a lot of trouble to the pursuing northern army.
After all, in the accelerated march of the pursuing troops, it is difficult to have enough attention and sharpness to detect some new landfill marks or relatively protruding small debris on the ground where they pass.
Then, an inadvertent boom was enough to blow up their luck and fatigue and slackness. The so-called "if you are not afraid of thieves coming to the door, you are afraid of thieves".
Especially after a lot of real and fake, or simply buried traces. It has become a common reason to collect the whole team, slow down and be cautious.
Therefore, the best way is to find a group of cannon fodder, or use mules and horses to drive it, and when faced with a suspicious point, it is natural to see at a glance whether it is true or false, and there is no future trouble......
But the problem is that cannon fodder is not so easy to find, and mules and horses are not consumed for free. Some generals who are very strict can certainly force their soldiers to explore the road at any cost.
However, some other troops who did not have such a tight control force could only find ways on their own, such as coercing some people from the local area to bring them to the army, and when they encountered suspicious situations, they used knives and guns to force them to cross first.
But in this way, it is still inevitable to delay the time, and if there happens to be a small group of gunners nearby, and take the opportunity to continue to harass with cold guns, then the effect is even better.
At least not many people are willing to continue to let go of the forward under the threat of double lives, even this unit, which is no exception.
They almost shrunk the long marching columns into thicker columns, and then spread out along the road, slowly searching forward.
After the overgrown vines and shrubs,
"It's really good land,"
"But it can only be buried in the weeds"
Gu Laosi sighed slightly, dropped a handful of dark soil with some regret, picked up the long gun that was erected on the earthen ram again, and began to look and estimate in the vague direction.
Until he suddenly kicked the nearest trumpeter, and the other party jumped up in a hurry, puffing up his throat and blowing two short tones.
Suddenly, rows of gunners rose from behind the earthen ramparts, grass, and trees where they were hiding, revealing two rows of horizontal formations above and below, four in front and back.
They follow the beat and the command, and the movements of aiming and lifting are all brushed, and the hula is like a wriggling python, surrounding the undulating slope.
Slightly open his sharp teeth, silently and coldly looking down at the group of prey that had entered the range of strangulation.
As the basic element of the army's formation, it is emphasized to occupy and control the commanding position as much as possible, especially to make use of the mounds and slopes with small angles to deal with the enemy's formation.
Therefore, in this way, the slope can be used to preset the position and platoon, and through several queue levels from top to bottom, effectively and fully deploy the firepower as much as possible, and achieve the effect of layer-by-layer ratio and layer-by-layer cover.
This is also the preferred terrain used to block enemy positions and set up ambushes in the gun army's regulations.
Therefore, in the process of marching and camping after leaving the battle, the surveying and mapping regiments accompanying the army will try to find and find suitable places and locations along the way, and then leave a rough number and markings.
Then, it is summarized in the daily operations of the corps, and after evaluation and calculation, it is used as the basis for alternative conditions and emergency measures in various contingency plans.
Therefore, when a similar situation is encountered, it can be arranged in a relatively short period of time with corresponding measures and directions.
Then it will be directly distributed to the nearby units that still have combat power, and will be coordinated and arranged according to specific needs.
But it was a few hunters hiding in the middle of nowhere, and at least three of the most distinct targets in armor became their results, adding to the confusion of the enemy formation.
Then there was the sound and movement of the gale blowing through the field, which quickly shrank and gathered into an array of those who still did not forget to cover each other in the panic, and shrunk a lot of them, and in the outermost two or three rows, they almost became sparse and recognizable.
And the first round of the four columns of up and down rows on the slope has just been played.
At this time, the men and horses of the rear team finally caught up with the convergence, and the enemy troops who were ambushed in the road also reacted, beating the drum of the enemy, and they only regrouped the ranks slightly, and scattered many small units on the spot, all kinds of ups and downs, and counterattacked to the ambush line under the cover of the terrain.
All of a sudden, people kept rolling down the gentle slope, and people kept falling down between the rocks and gravel, and the blood flowing from the water quickly stained the uneven ground into mottled spots.
However, the remaining small troops, still in the curve of dodging left and right, successfully approached the ambush line, but encountered a temporary earthen rampart that looked inconspicuous, and was even covered by grass and branches, half the height.
Just as they were about to leap over, a whistle sounded very closely, and someone suddenly reacted, roaring and howling and taking a few steps back.
But more people still followed their inertia and maintained the action of climbing and leaping, and then they were stabbed by the figure who suddenly stood up behind the earthen ramparts, and rows of condescending spears stretched out.
As a result, many human bodies that still maintained their stunned expressions were like punctuated and pierced water bladders, which were suddenly picked up, pushed out, and rolled down the slope, dragging out long or short blood lines and smudges.
Someone took the opportunity to rush forward, and the artist boldly dialed the outstretched spearhead, and even dragged the spear shaft as a borrowing, and along the gap between the spear stabs, he crossed the obstacle and killed it.
But at this point, the number of warriors who could break through the earth ramparts was so small that as soon as they rushed in, they quickly turned into tattered corpses and were pushed down in more fierce fighting and roaring, or turned around and ran away covered in scars and blood.
After such repeated charges and counter-charges, such a simple and low earthen fortress still could not be broken through repeated attacks, and it could not break through alive or dead. On the contrary, there were many casualties under the low firing range.
Finally someone gave up their efforts and secretly ran back down the slope and began to turn along the road and flee in the direction they came. This escape is like opening a pipe gushing through a certain embankment.
Especially when the few generals who were shouting and scolding and wanted to stop and suppress were also set on fire to the city, the trend of defeat and flight could no longer be stopped.
At this time, the white soldiers standing behind the earthen ramparts, also rushed down the hillside in groups under the sound of horns, and broke up the flow of people who were rushing to flee into several sections.
After a few moments,
With the shouts of these white soldiers and shields, coupled with the deterrence of the soldiers who were copied down from all sides, more and more of these northern soldiers who were cut off in the road and could not advance or retreat, began to follow the shouts, dropped their weapons and held their heads in their hands, and joined the surrender ranks who knelt on the ground.
Caozhou, Chengshi City.
"Retreat, just retreat."
I've gotten the most unanimous feedback from the scout squads,
After continuous pursuit and contact battles, among these somewhat patient and tenacious northern troops, the Shenwu army, which pursued the most, was ambushed again by its own army and lost more than 3,000 people.
Finally, cautiously, Caozhou Prefecture - Jiyin City stopped, and took the initiative to shrink the forward, and began to disengage from our army.
According to the scout results of the scout team, which is closest to the enemy, there seems to be a small number of signs of death among the opponent's horses.
It seems that in this long journey and competition between pursuit and counter-pursuit, the more well-trained and well-organized army finally prevailed.
