Section 23 A busy and troubled morning
Standing on this low mound, Lao Luo and Gonzhas were actually unable to see the whole battlefield. In fact, the entire battlefield spread for more than ten miles (Rome), and in this era, if you want to overlook the progress of the entire battlefield, unless you climb a high mountain in the distance, but as a reserve, it loses the value of existence - it is impossible to interfere with the situation of the battlefield at all.
The people who were stationed farther away to launch an attack could be regarded as a few guys who were about to stand alone, and they had gone through too much emergency training and promised them the right to make decisions on the spot, so Lao Luo was not worried that the battle rhythm would be mistaken because of poor battlefield communications. As for the men and horses led by a few not very mature captains, they were basically still in his line of sight, or rather within the sight of the telescope.
The sky is getting brighter, the field of vision is gradually broadening, through the dense smoke clouds, you can vaguely see the general situation of the battlefield within a radius of ten miles—the red turbans of the Turks, the few armors deliberately polished very brightly by the Dangxiang people, and the Qarluqs...... I didn't see it, but everywhere you could see the enemies in disarray, and the most active were your own warriors in black and yellow armor......
Although the number of enemies is far greater than that of one's own side, it is not possible to win on the battlefield with a large number of people - otherwise it would be better for everyone to draw their own men out and compare the number of people in battle. No matter what era it was, the war of the sea of people could only ensure the durability of the war, and the efficiency and strength of the attack still depended on the organizational strength and the utilization rate of weapons......
On the battlefield with a black and red tone, the Turks and party members who had experienced a night of fatigue and vigilance...... Most of them are fleeing for their lives, it's not that these Turks or party members are not brave enough, it's that they were suddenly blinded by the canisters of fire oil that fell from the sky, and when they reacted, their camp had become a sea of fire, and the kind of flames that stuck to their bodies were hard to be extinguished like the legendary hellfire, how could the Turks and party members who had not seen this kind of ** not collapse?
Of course, not all Turks or party members are so helpless, there are always dozens or hundreds of people in a camp who dare to fight and are not afraid of death, but they either do not take advantage of the weapons in their hands, or the armor on their bodies is not neatly equipped, not to mention that they can't find their mounts under the chaos caused by the flames, so that the half-crippled soldiers are purely seeking death in the face of the soldiers of the cavalry academy - because the soldiers of the cavalry academy are not allowed to break through alone at any time, They marched in a combination of five people, ten people, and each combination of numbers had a different combination of tactics, bows and crossbows with long knives, spears and huge shields, neither of which could be matched by the chaotic Turks or the partymen......
Perhaps some people will say that the Turks and the forward generals of the party are all fools and fools?
Of course not, it's just that most of the generals of this era are outstanding in martial arts, or have some kind of blood relationship with their superiors, and it's really hard to say what they've seen, the Turks may have seen Greek fire, but don't expect a low-level former camp guard to have this insight, the Dangxiang people have fought with the Song people, but they have at most seen a cart that can throw rubble all over the sky, and the stone can also be resisted with a shield......
In contrast, the oil tank on Lao Luo's side is based on crude crude oil, and it is also a mixture of crude phosphorus and frosting, which is an irresistible weapon for professional firefighters wearing asbestos uniforms and gas masks in later generations, which can not only attach to burn but also produce a large amount of toxic gas, which is why the soldiers of the cavalry school and scout battalion wear veils on their faces.
To be honest, even Lao Luo himself didn't know what he had gotten rid of, although this kind of fire oil bomb was not as good as the professional weapon-grade incendiary bombs of later generations, but the complexity of the composition was even better.
After burning, along with the muffled and veiled warriors were drunk, not to mention the Turks and party members who shouted at the beginning, the desperate ran and ran and fell to the ground, and the wielding knives that bravely resisted were just blind slashing, often after a few violent movements, only the strength to lie on the ground and pant was left, and in the face of the cavalry academy soldiers who attacked in groups, their fate could not be changed......
Farther away, the camps arranged by the Turks and Dangxiang to help each other were not sent to the rescue, because the soldiers who had fled from the attacked camp blocked their own gates, and some even collapsed at the gates of the flanking camps......
Li Deming, who had been working hard all night, jumped like thunder at the door of his big tent, "Damn, didn't you say that Luo Kaixian didn't have siege weapons?" This ......"
The main camp of the party is at least ten miles away from the front village, but Li Deming can smell the bad smell of fireworks from such a distance, he can completely think of what the camp in front of him looks like, a few days ago Mahmoud just told him that the other party had no time to prepare siege weapons, but now that this situation has deviated, he has no reason to blame anyone, after all, people just expected, and it is he who really arranges the camp defense.
"King, do you want to send someone to the rescue?" A party general with a shaved head and a dozen braids stepped forward and asked.
“…… Mahakiduo, take your people to the front to answer, see how many camps have been broken, and order the rest of the camps to hold on...... In addition, at least one pool of ten zhang square should be dug in each camp...... "Li Deming also reacted quickly, and immediately knew that he couldn't panic, but a few camps were broken, and his troops had more than 40,000 people, so he couldn't lose three or five camps, but the troops were still there, so he didn't believe that the other party came all the way from Bishkek from afar, and how many things he could bring to set fire.
"Obey, Your Majesty...... Just don't you have to go out of the village to attack each other? The alchemy bowed and asked with some hesitation.
"Nope! Don't leave the camp! Even the old fox like Mahmoud said that the other party was very cunning, and I don't believe that the other party has no backhand! Li Deming said that he was worried that Lao Luo had a series of schemes, but what he thought in his heart was only partial, he was more thinking about how much the Turks would pay, and he was misled to ignore the other party's siege weapons, and the Turks should be the first bird.
The actual situation was exactly as he expected, and the Turkic camp was even worse than the Dangxiang......
"You're lying! How could ten camps be attacked? Mahmoud kicked the soldier who was reporting the news into the air.
"No, Great Emir, how dare I lie to you...... It is true that ten stockades have been attacked, and General Massoud of the former battalion has sent me to report to you that you will send people to support ......," the soldier who reported the news quickly got up and lay on the ground.
"You're Hassan. Massoud's men? Mahmoud asked, a little confused. Hassan of the former battalion. Massoud was the Abdul who was killed by Lao Luo on the banks of the Hari River. Massoud's eldest son, a brave man, came this time to avenge his father's death, and was Mahmoud's more trusted subordinate.
"Yes, Great Emir, send reinforcements quickly, for four of the ten stockades have been breached, and the remaining ones have burned many to death...... "The soldier who reported the news was already full of crying and pleading.
"Come on, prepare the horses!" Mahmoud is very decisive, although he is a little stubborn, but he can definitely distinguish the priorities, "Send someone to gather the men and horses of the last four battalions, and all the Ghulam will assemble!" ”
Originally, there were not many troops brought over, and now it is not to deal with the dwarves in the south, if the losses are too much this time, needless to mention that Luo Kaixian, who came from the Magyar Sea, the two guys around him who are not in line with each other are very likely to swallow themselves, Mahmoud knows this better than anyone else, and as for the itching on his body at night, he has long forgotten about it.
On the battlefield, the thick black smoke column has begun to disperse, the fire has become somewhat attenuated, and the battle of the soldiers of the cavalry school has begun to come to an end.
"It doesn't look like we need to do it...... General, why do you take so many prisoners? Wouldn't it be easier to kill it? "Gonzhas has grown a lot now, at least he doesn't blindly charge people with his patience, but from time to time he raises his monocular to look at everything below.
“…… Ha, don't you think these guys are in good health, and it would be useful to arrange digging pits to resist stones? "The war is going well, Lao Luo is in a good mood, and he has the patience to gossip.
"Dig a pit? Stone-resistant? Gonzhas was a little confused. Ordinary these things, the soldiers themselves did it, where is the need for outsiders to be so troublesome?
"Yes, in addition to digging pits to resist stones, you also have to dig soil, plant trees, and trim rivers...... Lao Luo deliberately didn't finish speaking, while leisurely watching the soldiers not far away busy, while hanging the appetite of the trusted general next to him, just to see if he could figure it out.
"Digging? Planting trees? ......"Listening to Lao Luo's words, Gonzas became more and more confused.
Behind them, an urn sounded in a rough voice, "Is the general going to occupy that Polo city over there?" ”
Lao Luo shook his head, Gonzas's head is not a material for internal affairs except for fighting and cutting people, and it is not as sensitive as the big guy Stan, of course, he is not a material specializing in internal affairs, or he is not in that mood, and the affairs of the army are enough to be busy.
"Polo City is not our destination, and we have to go further east, where we need to build a new city, which requires a lot of manpower...... Don't you think these guys in front of you are the best laborers? After revealing what he thought in his heart a little, Lao Luo was actually not sure where he had to settle down, after all, the water and soil environment of this era was still very different from that of later generations.
When he was free to ponder, Lao Luo already had a premonition that it would be difficult to return to Yanzhou or Suizhou, not that there was no way to go, but that his character was destined to be difficult to match with the environment of the Zhao and Song dynasties, so if he didn't want to have a war with Zhao and Song immediately, he had to think about where to settle down in advance, and after settling down, it was destined to be a lot of trouble, and the party people, Han people, Khitan people, and even the grassland people in the north could become their own obstacles, so all the preliminary preparations must start now.
Of course, this is a matter of the near future, for now...... Or do we have to solve these obstacles......
Through the seven-fold magnified binoculars, a shadowy man appeared in the back of the Turkic camp in the distance, although he could not see very clearly, but it was definitely a reinforcement from the Turks.
"Blow the trumpet and collect the troops! Inform the garrison camp of the docks to be on alert! Assemble everyone! Lao Luo's eyes instantly converged on the ant-like serial team in the distance...... Visually at least 6,000 people, and maybe there will be a follow-up, plus the remnants of the Turkic front battalion, at least more than 10,000 people, is the big war finally about to begin?
