However, when they returned to their respective armies, the commotion ahead had calmed down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What's going on? What about the enemy? Lu Bu found Wei Xu and asked.

"Just now, the enemy's cavalry unit suddenly shot outside the position, and we hurriedly counterattacked, and the other side saw that it could not take advantage, so it retreated...... However, the first wave of arrows still caused more than 100 casualties. Wei Xu replied.

"How many enemies are there?" Lu Bu continued to ask, the sudden surprise attack only caused more than 100 casualties, which was not bad.

"It's a little dark and I can't see clearly, there are definitely more than 1,000 people, and there can't be 5,000 people!" Zhang Liao replied.

"Sure enough, there are more than a thousand! Can a counterattack be effective? Lu Bu nodded, and then continued to ask.

"Causing one person to fall off his horse, the enemy shoots too far for ordinary arrows to shoot there! After the enemy sergeant fell off his horse, he was calmly taken away by his comrades......" Zhang Liao replied regretfully.

Thousands of people came to attack, only to shoot down not a single person, and were calmly taken away by the enemy. If it is spread out, I am afraid that I will lose face. But this kind of thing really fell on his head, not to mention Lu Bu, Kong Rong and Yuan Shao and others who came later, they also felt shameless.

The enemy had the timing of the attack too well, and launched a surprise attack while they had just been stationed and began to bury the pot. At this time, the sky had begun to darken, and it was dark all around, and the other party did not light torches at all, which made it more difficult to counterattack.

Night blindness, a common disease of this era, even if the officers do not have it, the non-commissioned officers below will suffer from it. Look at those dark places, it's pitch black, and you can't see anything. Since ancient times, the sunrise and sunset have been the result of a passive result in many cases, after all, you can't see anything at night.

It's okay to plant torches, but whether it's lighting torches or oil lamps, it's obviously too wasteful, so even if the factory owner doesn't want to, he can only let the workers work for twelve hours, and he is reluctant to let them work overtime at night.

The same is true of the army, although the officers are unwilling, but due to the inconvenience of the non-commissioned officers to watch things at night, they have no choice but to rest at sunset. Even if you set up camp, you still set up bonfires around them and refill fuel regularly to avoid being attacked by the enemy at night.

In fact, it's not so simple to want a night attack, everyone's army is terrible, is there no night blindness on the side of the sneak attack? So the other party also has to carry torches to ensure that they can see the way to go and the way out. But in the dark night, since the torch is lit, what is the night attack? Suddenly sex or something.,It's completely gone!

Therefore, it is a night attack, and it has nothing to do with the attack at all. In peacetime wars, the main thing is to bet on whether the other party can react quickly and face the battle, and if you win, you can get greater results, and if you lose, you will go back in disgrace.

"Wait, the other party didn't light a torch?" Everyone was sighing, but they didn't want Lu Bu to suddenly ask.

In the final analysis, it is the trust of his own soldiers, believing that even if it is a normal night attack, they can react and prepare for the battle as soon as possible. Even if you can't do it, you will be prepared to defend yourself, so that the other party will not take advantage.

But now they have ended up in such a mess, the only explanation is that they didn't even have a chance to react, so it can basically be deduced that the enemy attacked this time, didn't they light the torches?

"That's right, the enemy didn't light the torches, and they came in the dark! After that, they escaped into the darkness, and even if I watched them leave, I couldn't help it! Wei Xu replied helplessly.

"Besides, their horses seemed to be wrapped in something, so that they could run without a sound. In the end, two hundred meters away from our army's position, the shooting was suddenly launched, so that we could only be beaten passively......" Zhang Liao echoed.

To treat night blindness, it is actually very simple, take the soldiers of the Chinese Republic as an example, every day there is a meal of pork liver or other animal liver as a dish, not to mention a meal of vitamin A-rich vegetables every day.

Over time, this night blindness will naturally be cured without medicine, and the soldiers will quickly adapt to the darkness, and then they will be able to see the surrounding scenery with the help of moonlight. In this way, there will still be a certain range of visibility, and it will be much better than the feeling of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers before.

The soldiers of the Han Republic are not treated so well. Each meal is just two sweet potatoes or potatoes, at most with some wild vegetables or whatever, it is almost impossible to eat meat, and animal offal is not eaten in this era.

As a result, many of their soldiers had night blindness, which was even worse in the early days, and they drank corn porridge for every meal, and they were afraid that the salt was not enough, not to mention that they were busy, but they were afraid that their strength was a little insufficient.

"I can't blame you for this, immediately arrange for people to prepare a bonfire, and be careful of the enemy attacking again!" Lu Bu couldn't say anything, so he could only do some rescue work.

The fire was set up, and even the rhubarb crossbow troops had been arranged. Of course, all they need to do is rest, and the soldiers in charge of the night patrol will come to scout, and then wake them up to fight back if needed.

This feeling of being able to passively fight back is very bad, and the tension of not knowing when the enemy will come back makes many soldiers unable to sleep well at all.

Sure enough, within an hour, the enemy attacked again. With a campfire to show them the way, shooting becomes more steady. The rhubarb crossbowmen quickly counterattacked, but the opponent still calmly left, and this time did not even cause casualties to the opponent.

"That's how they came before?" Lu Bu was a little puzzled and looked at Zhang Liao.

"No, last time they came up in a swarm, but this time it was obviously more scattered, but the distance between the two doesn't seem to be too far, and they can come over to ......support at any time," Zhang Liao immediately concluded.

Sure enough, they are clearly summing up, and even improving! The attack formation just now is obviously not in line with the art of war, but it is most suitable for night surprise attacks, and the sparse formation also avoids being injured by stray arrows...... Isn't this the case with the army of the Li puppet regime? Lu Bu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be a little more jealous of the army under Li Yu's command.

"Why didn't the general go after him?" Yuan Shao ran out in a hurry, and Gongsun Zhan led his troops to chase him out as soon as possible, but he didn't see Lu Bu chasing him out, so he came to ask.

"How to chase in the vast dark night? Not to mention, who can guarantee that there will be other ambushes in the dark night? Lu Bu shook his head, if you want to pursue, you naturally need to light a torch to see the road, but in the dark night, how obvious should it be to hold a torch?

Night is the best disguise, as long as you are not night blind, you can use this night to hide your traces. On the contrary, Gongsun Zhan's troops are all holding torches in their hands, isn't this telling others that 'the enemy is here, hurry up and attack'?

Sure enough, there were bursts of screams in the distance, and a moment later, Gongsun Chan hurried back with thousands of remnants, and he himself had a crossbow bolt inserted into his arm, and he didn't care if his helmet fell off, looking very embarrassed.

"General Gongsun, what happened?" Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"I was ambushed by the enemy, and a large number of crossbow arrows were fired, overwhelming!" Gongsun Chan replied angrily.

It turned out that under Li Wen's arrangement, it was not the scout troops who attacked this time, but Zhao Yun's assault troops. They shoot first, harass each other, and then wait for the other side to lead an army to fight them. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't chase it out, the constant harassment, and even the scout troops taking turns to harass, can definitely drive the other party crazy.

If the enemy is in battle, it will be even better! Chen Tao and Li Wen's troops were waiting there, and the pursuing troops were often cavalry, and in order to be able to see in the dark, they had to plant torches everywhere, so it was so obvious.

This time, it was Chen Tao's turn to come out to ambush, and when he saw that the enemy had arrived, he immediately shot with a repeater. If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's quick retreat when he saw the opportunity, not to mention how much damage the crossbow could cause, just that the assault troops in front would have turned their horses' heads and launched a surprise attack as soon as possible. When the time comes, I can only hope that the war horses of Gongsun Zhan's corporal can run faster, otherwise it will be unlucky!

If you're unlucky, it's not a surprise that the whole army will be wiped out.

That is, Gongsun Chan ran fast, so as not to end up with the annihilation of the whole army, you must know that this crossbow uses the kind of idea in "Wu Bei Zhi", at least more than 20 crossbow arrows can be shot in just one minute, plus the pulley group reduces the difficulty of winding, so that this elongation is aggravated, no less than the bow of the rhubarb crossbow, in the case of throwing, the shooting distance is not inferior to the three-stone strong bow.

The key is still the rate of fire of 20 rounds a minute, and if you have enough strength, you can even shoot 25 times a minute. The receiver can even hold 50 crossbow bolts, and it can shoot all of them in two minutes. Whether it is against infantry or cavalry, it has a miraculous effect.

The disadvantage is not that there is none, that is, the crossbowmen move slightly slower, not as fast as the cavalry. However, Li Yu has already begun to arrange horses for them to travel, so that they can go to the front line as soon as possible. When the time comes, dismount and fight, and there will be no delay!

Although Gongsun Chan had saved thousands of people, the number of 25,000 people had dropped to thousands all of a sudden, and he was also plucked out of the cold in his heart. After counting again, there were only a few hundred people left in Bai Ma Yicong, and more than 3,600 other cavalry remained.

Most of them were shot, but more of them were still frightened, walking around, saying that they couldn't kill their own people. Anyway, the black light is blind, the torch has fallen to the ground, I don't know who is who, I see a black shadow in front of me, I think it's the enemy who can't say that I can't just shoot it over, who cares if it's a friendly army?

"X, this trip is muddy waters, Lao Tzu will not be accompanied!" Gongsun Zhan's heart had completely cooled down, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he scolded and complained that Yuan Shao and Lu Bu didn't go to support. Then he didn't say anything, and left directly with the remnants, anyway, with his current strength, he still fights a bird?!

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu didn't care, Gongsun Zhan, these thousands of people were indeed no longer in the climate, and they just left. It's just that at that time, how could they go to the rescue, the black light was blind, and they couldn't be attacked as an enemy army, and when the time came, wouldn't the losses be even higher when they fought chaotically?

But no one found out, in fact, there should have been 4,500 people who came back with Gongsun Zhan, but now that they are counted, there are only 4,200 people, so the question is, who are the extra 300 people?

"You've blended into the enemy camp, do you want to act?" In a dark corner, under the cover of others, one man took out a walkie-talkie and asked in a low voice.

"Wait for them to fall asleep first, after this night of tossing, they should be tired too!" Yang Lang's voice came out.

"Whoa!" The man put away the walkie-talkie, gestured to the people around him, and everyone scattered in all directions. This unit is also subordinate to the scout force, but it can only be mobilized by Yang Lang and Li Yu, because they are special operations forces! (To be continued.) )
