Chapter 374: Hunting

Zhang Chu led people to infiltrate the Houjin tribe, planted mines on the roads within the tribe, and left ignition devices and some small gasoline cans where the grain and grass were stacked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to ensure their own safety, Zhang Chu and the others used a time-delay ignition device. This ignition device is actually very simple, using a simple combination of incense and gunpowder into a bamboo tube, which will not be detected by people and will not be blown out by the wind.

As soon as the Jinren camp was finished after Zhang Chu and the others left, the ignition device took effect, first emitting a small flame, igniting the surrounding firewood and grass, and then the small gasoline barrel placed by the security army there was ignited, and the fire ignited all of a sudden. The fire enveloped the entire haystack with the strong wind of the night, and the long tongue of fire licked towards the tent next to it.

The Houjin people were awakened, screaming and running out of the tent, their panic caused a greater disaster, the crowd running between the tents mixed up the mines laid by the security forces, the huge explosion and the flying steel balls knocked the Houjin people to the ground in pieces, the threat of death intensified the panic of the Houjin people, more people ran blindly around the camp, detonated more mines, the Houjin people understood that they were attacked but did not know where the attack came from.

Zhang Chu, who was outside the camp, decided to point out a direction for the Houjin people.

"Muskets fire freely, and the figure near the target fire." In the dark background, the figure of the Houjin who was fighting the fire next to the fire was undoubtedly revealed, and it became the best target for the musket.

The chaotic Houjin people only came to their senses after being killed more than a dozen people, they found the continuous flashing fires and gunshots outside the camp, knowing that the enemy was hiding outside the camp to attack them, the leader of the tribe hurriedly ordered everyone not to move, guard against the cold guns outside the camp, and at the same time organized his subordinates to secretly gather together to find their horses in the stables, and rode their horses and rushed out of the camp, because the security forces outside continued to use muskets to interfere with the Houjin people to fight the fire, the fire became bigger and bigger, if the tent was also ignited, Then the whole camp is over.

The young men in the camp were all gathered together, and quietly touched the entrance of the camp, their goal was very clear, that is, the high ground outside the camp, where gunshots were being fired from time to time and accompanied by firelight. At the order of the leader, the Houjin cavalry rushed towards the target. The continuous explosions and fierce gunfire shattered the attempt of the Houjin people, and the dozen or so horsemen who ran in front were blown to the ground by the people and horses, and the people behind were knocked off their horses by the lead bullets of the muskets, and the momentum of the Houjin people's attack was beaten down at once. The lack of human instinct for survival slowed down the speed at which the Houjin people ran, which gave the musketeers more chances, and the number of Houjin deaths increased dramatically, and finally he turned his horse and fled back to the camp in fear.

It turned out that the security army had already discovered the Houjin people's attempt to rush out by the light of the fire, and Zhang Chu ordered to concentrate the fire at the gate of the camp, and cooperate with the mines buried there in advance to cleanly repel the attack of the Houjin people.

Seeing that the Jin people retreated, the members of the security army began to shoot freely again, looking for those figures who were burned out and running around.

Zhang Chu had little interest in killing these Tatars individually, so he was now the idleest man in the group, holding his spear and watching around to prevent the unexpected.

The muskets used by the soldiers of the Security Army are front-loading guns with rifled mini rounds, which not only have a much longer range than ordinary muskets, but also greatly improve their accuracy, making it possible to shoot accurately. The team members brought by Zhang Chu today have undergone arduous training, and the firearms used have also been selected and verified, so their shooting has caused great damage to the Houjin people in the camp, even if the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the Houjin people do not dare to get up to put out the fire, so they can only bow down and crawl to the open ground and lie there and dare not move.

Among the soldiers, Zhang Chu also saw the little eunuch Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen was not idle, he seemed to have forgotten his identity as a eunuch, and really regarded himself as an ordinary soldier, according to the way he learned in training a few days ago, he kept firing the charge of the musket in his hand, and then pointed the charge to the next target, sometimes talent still exists, Wang Chengen can fire the musket for the first time on the battlefield is already very good, he can shoot continuously, Zhang Chu saw with his own eyes that he also hit one or two targets, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhang Chu couldn't help but glance at Wang Chengen a few more times: "Damn, it's so powerful, this little eunuch won't be the reincarnation of a new generation of war gods, right?" Thinking of the picture of a fair-eyed, powder-faced little eunuch holding a musket and killing all directions, Zhang Chu showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Of course, the Houjin people were not willing to be killed by the enemy like prey one by one, and the leader of the tribe called his best archers together, since they could not rush up, they could only use long-range attacks.

Houjin's archers crawled on the ground with bows and arrows, and crawled towards the high ground where Zhang Chu and them were. They did it very secretly, but it was still discovered by Zhang Chu, who was idle and looking around, Zhang Chu immediately ordered the security army to shoot to block, this attack is related to the life and death of all the fallen people, although the archers were shot and killed from time to time, but they did not flinch, accelerated their speed and crawled forward, leaving the corpses all the way to finally the Houjin people climbed into the range of the bow and arrows, they jumped up and skillfully pulled the bow, and shot the sharp arrows at the security army.

The weakness of using a bow and arrow to stand upright cost the archers' lives, their arrows were shot, and the bullets of the security army also chased over, making blood holes in their bodies, and the sharp arrows shot by the Jin people did not achieve any results, and at the beginning of retreating to the high ground to prepare to block the attack, Zhang Chu ordered the security soldiers to put on the plate armor, and the sharp arrows of the Hou Jin only left a small nest on the plate armor, which did not play any role.

Zhang Chu shook his head to dodge the sharp arrow shot at his head, and at the same time raised his musket, and with a gunshot, a Houjin man who had just finished shooting the arrow fell to the ground. For the sake of safety, these archers were cleared as soon as possible, and the archers who had worked hard to climb over were quickly wiped out in the gunfire of the security army, and this round of attack also exhausted the courage of the Houjin people, they no longer dared to organize a team attack, and it was even more dangerous to fight the fire, and no one tried again, and the gunfire of the security army gradually thinned out, and finally stopped completely.

The Houjin people could only lie on the ground and watch their tents and supplies burn less and less in the fire, but their hearts ached but there was nothing they could do.

Zhang Chu saw that the tents of the Houjin people were almost burned outside the camp before they took the people away, although they did not wipe out the entire Houjin tribe this time, but they burned their forage and grain before the grass grew on the grassland, and this group of Houjin people had a hard time to endure in the next few months.
