Section 59 Wave War (3)
Lao Luo assigned himself the task of destroying all kinds of warehouses in Herat City, including the military warehouse of the city lord and the secret warehouses of more than a dozen large merchants in the city. The purpose is to cut off the logistics supply here, and at the same time to add some reserves to the space.
Well, it's a negative tactic.
All the people in the vicinity of Herat are definitely more than 200,000, and if you want to kill them, you will be tired to death without the thermal weapons of the afterlife, and you will be tired to death if you only use a sword. At that time, the soldiers with high morale will have a war-weary mentality, not to mention that it is not a good thing to kill too many people and pull hatred too hard to set themselves on fire, so cutting off the logistics here is the best way to combat the combat effectiveness of the Ghaznavids, and in the end, the chaotic northern control area of the Ghaznavids will become a drag on them.
There is also a very important point, the faster Lao Luo acts here, the wider the attack, the easier it will be for Jin Qian to save the Han slaves.
Cutting off the enemy's armament, supplying themselves, and saving people by the way, cumbersome but small and broad kill three birds with one stone.
It's already very troublesome to say, and it's even more troublesome to do, if it weren't for the soldiers who Lao Luo had carefully trained for half a year to carry out the mission, this kind of combat plan would not have been able to be effectively implemented at all. Although the Ghaznavids have suffered successive defeats, it does not mean that the other side is a fool, and if any soldier is accidentally discovered or does not have time to kill him, he may be surrounded by ten times more defenders of Herat.
Therefore, the key point of this battle is to bloom at multiple points, so that the Ghaznavids do not know what to do - that is, to disrupt all their deployments and do not know where to go to rescue, so as to avoid chaos without communication cooperation, and the final result is that the enemy is chaotic and I am not chaotic, and we will win in chaos.
This is a tactical concept that does not belong to this era, chaotic warfare, which can also be said to be wave warfare, unrestrained and free warfare.
Lao Luo walked out of the apartment that he had entered in the afternoon, outside the public space of the inn, but there was no sound of people moving around at this time, and the sound of the hanging bell above the minaret sounded all around—the Ghaznavids believed in the Green Religion, and it was the time for them to worship at dusk.
"The general, the people of the inn have all been controlled." Olki came out of the shopkeeper's courtyard, as if he were stating something ordinary, and the hem of his shirt was a little red.
Luo had given Alki the task of controlling everyone in the inn, and he didn't care if he killed them or knocked them unconscious - those people might be innocent or brutal, they had nothing to do with Ro, and now they were just enemies.
"Pay attention to concealment, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion!" Just a soft order, Lao Luo took the lead and ran to the west of the city lord Ashina Duval's residence, there was no need to walk the outside street, this inn occupies a wide area, from the public area past, just climb over two walls to reach the city lord's mansion, and not far to the east is the east gate out of the city - this is why Lao Luo chose this hotel as a temporary shelter.
There is no need to ride a horse, the sound of the horse's hooves has too much of an impact. Lao Luo ran in front, followed by only eight personal soldiers led by Naga and Olki, only six people remained in the inn, and the rest of the hundreds were all sent out to have their own tasks.
The huge old Luo was more dexterous than the tanuki, and the few people behind him could only chase after him desperately.
Stepping on the solid wall in two steps in a row, just a little jump, Lao Luo jumped onto the roof of the inn close to the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, no one noticed his figure squatting on the roof in the darkness when the sun had just set, but from here he could clearly see all the sentry posts in the City Lord's Mansion that were brightly lit by torches dozens of meters away.
"Stupid!" Gently spit out two words, Lao Luo's iron tire bow suddenly appeared in his hand, and he didn't need to aim, he quickly took the arrow and opened the bow, and the bowstring sounded "boom", and several "black turbans" guarding the wall of the city lord's mansion fell silently, and they were wearing a long arrow on their necks, if there was no mistake, their throats or cervical vertebrae had been penetrated.
The eight people of Naga and Olki, who were originally following Lao Luo, climbed up to the outer wall of the hotel because they were lagging behind.
Lao Luo made a gesture at them to continue moving, and the eight black shadows began to continue their journey without any words, although their movements were not as smooth as Lao Luo's, but they were by no means discoverable by ordinary soldiers, not to mention that there were flying arrows on it to sweep the various posts on the high place of the City Lord's Mansion.
By the time Naga and Olki and the others began to climb the outer wall of the City Lord's Mansion with hooks, Lao Luo had already swept away all the more than thirty people that could be seen in his field of vision, and then he jumped off the roof of the house quickly, and after falling to the ground, he accelerated dozens of steps in a short distance, and took three steps in a row on the rough surface of the outer wall, reaching out and reaching out, he had already hooked the edge of the wall that was eight meters high—something he could not do in the later life.
The right hand grabbed the edge of the wall, just pulled up hard, and with the inertia of the body rushing up, the left hand grabbed the inside of the wall edge, and the waist and limbs swung sideways, and his whole body had been on the wall, stretching his legs, and his body was stable.
At this time, only half of the assistants came up.
Taking advantage of this time, Lao Luo carefully used his spiritual power to sense the situation of the entire City Lord's Mansion. The city lord's mansion is a typical Islamic style building, under the light of torches, you can see the curved plant pattern decoration wall and the symmetrical arc of the top edge of the large and small doors, this mansion adopts the "Hui" character layout, divided into two main parts, the outer house and the inner house, the outer house is obviously the residence of the guards and slaves, there is a wide cloister in the middle, riding corridor.
There are not many people, even fewer who can be called combat power (the spiritual power senses those with weapons), and there are about 100 guards in the outer house, some are worshipping, and some are wandering aimlessly, obviously their beliefs are not religious, and the inner house is ...... There should be more women, there are probably less than a hundred guards, and some people who don't know what to do are getting together, and if I'm not mistaken, maybe it's really discussing.
"General!" The swarthy face with the scarf looked a little creepy at night, and they had just fallen from the top of the wall, and the plants on the inside of the wall were hiding the figures.
"Naga and Alki each lead a team, each team of four people, starting from both sides of me to clean up, at the same time set up fire oil bombs, and finally gather at the entrance of the back house, is there a problem?" Lao Luo gave specific orders in the same deep voice.
The fire oil bomb that can be laid in advance is a clay pot with white phosphorus and fire oil inside, sealed with paraffin, and reserved for cotton medicine outside, as long as the medicine is tied to a burning incense, this thing is the simplest timed incendiary bomb, which is not inferior to the simple gunpowder weapon.
"Will the Lord, the woman, and the child be dealt with in the same way?" It was Olki who was asking, and women and children were the wealth of the population base in this era, and this was true in almost all countries. During the Western Jin Dynasty, those Hu people who took women and children to make food were basically no longer human.
Old Luo pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "All boys who are higher than your waist will be executed, and you will be allowed to deal with the rest yourself, but don't let them become a drag." ”
This is indeed a problem, Lao Luo can't be so cruel as killing everyone, not to mention that there are also 3,000 women from the Western Regions in his family camp. Therefore, the temporary resolution can only be like this, which can be regarded as following the rules of the grassland.
Instead, Naga and Olki, who split into two teams, began a surprise attack that killed people on sight. Because it was not a cavalry battle, Naga used the same set of two-handed short baybed hammers that he had ordered in Mombasa, and naturally there were crumbs of flesh and blood splattering everywhere he went, and behind him were three personal soldiers with short bows and scimitars who were guarding him. Olki used a two-meter-long spear and a round shield, a traditional weapon inherited from the Thracians by the Bulgarians, and behind him were also short-bowed and scimitar-wielding soldiers, which was the most basic tactical coordination.
The fight between the two parties was one-sided from the beginning, Naga was taught by Lao Luo himself, Olki was impregnated in the killing field, and although the guards of the city lord's mansion also had a hand, they were pampered all year round under the good and lustful dogs and horses...... It's not a grade at all.
Capturing the thief and capturing the king is the same as the decapitation tactic, Lao Luo is not in a hurry, and takes down the head of the snake in Herat, and this big snake entrenched in the city will fall into chaos on its own.
Lao Luo sensed the situation with his mental power, and he no longer worried about the battle of several people, and ran in the direction of the inner house alone, at this time, there was no need to hide his tracks, and the rapid breakthrough of the hard bridge and hard horse was the fastest way.
There were more than a dozen guards guarding the entrance to the inner house, and they were looking around when they heard the shouts of murder around them, and they couldn't leave their posts. When he saw Lao Luo coming, he immediately shouted and rushed up.
Lao Luo was not ambiguous, his right hand was stretched, the long knife was in his hand, he grabbed the back half of the knife handle more than three meters long, and swept it like a bamboo pole, and suddenly the bodies of the four people were separated by the waist, and the momentum of the upper body and the upper body was unequal, and when Lao Luo staggered and rushed over, he fell to the ground, and the smell of blood and internal organs suddenly filled the entire space.
Before a few slightly stunned guys could raise their scimitars, Lao Luo had already swept past them, the expressions on their faces instantly froze, and then they staggered diagonally with the same upper and lower bodies as the previous ones - that was the effect of Lao Luo's long knife backhand return. Four black turbans with spears stabbed from Lao Luo's left side, he didn't even look at it, his left hand slashed up and down, several spears were caught under his armpit, the long knife in his right hand swung diagonally backwards and cut down the three people again, at the same time, the owners of the four spears were taken to the ground by Lao Luo, the long knives swung back again, and the four people who fell to the ground and stood up straight fell to the ground.
The curved door is full of green religion style and there are no enemies standing in front of it.
It's very slow to say, there are a lot of words to describe, and the actual time is only thirty seconds, that is, the time it takes for Lao Luo's long knife to turn left and right twice. It's not that the Turks' attack skills are too indiscriminate, it's that Lao Luo bullies people purely with his strength, speed, and weapons. Don't you say that there is no wise man who shoots with a bow and arrow from afar? Not to mention how accurate the bow and arrow can be when the night is full, the speed of Lao Luo's impact alone has no time to aim, not to mention that before the archer can open the distance, Lao Luo's knife has already come closer. Archers still need spatial distance in the end, and without distance, a simple archer is not much stronger than a sheep to be slaughtered.
Lao Luo's short killing still alarmed many people after all, but in a short period of time, no one in the hall rushed out to die, and no one wanted to face it in the open area in the face of a good hand with a long weapon.
It's just a pity that no one knows the combat effectiveness of Lao Luo, a killing machine specially cultivated in later generations, indoors.
……………………………………………………………………
P.S.: I personally think that the battle on the battlefield of cold weapons will never have the scene of ping-pong weapons colliding like in the movie. More should be the three points of combat morale, physical fitness, and weapon quality, so who is strong and who is weak will be seen on the spot, and it will not be like the Eastern martial arts routines that can't kill one person in half a day, nor will it be like in Western movies where a large number of people fight and kill. Therefore, Lao Luo's single knife straight into should be the most suitable battle scene.
