Chapter 224: Is It Okay to Forever Forge an Alliance?
On the third day of September, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the clouds turned clear.
The Han army stepped on the muddy grass to attack the South Vietnamese army's forward camp, this was the first time the Han army tried to attack, a few days ago by the continuous showers, water and soil adaptation, indigestion torture is not good, to today a little tidy up morale, organized 30,000 elite attack camp.
The South Vietnamese forward battalion on the opposite side was also 30,000 people, and 30,000 against 30,000 should be evenly matched, but the timid South Vietnamese army closed its door, naively thinking that the camp could resist the attack of the Han army, but they did not know the strength of the Han army.
Half a mile outside the South Vietnamese camp, 30,000 Han troops set up a large formation, and the crossbowmen lined up to aim at the South Vietnamese army camp with four doors closed.
"Wind! Gale! ”
The lineup of five hundred people in each row is luxurious, and the power of the arrow array is also extremely powerful.
The South Vietnamese barbarians standing at the head of the camp were stunned, and there was almost no chance to react in the face of the black pressure of the arrow rain, and suddenly the terrible screams pierced the sky, the red blood flowed like rain, and the violent crossbow arrows tore through the fragile bodies of the barbarians, and the internal organs and blood were sprinkled all over the ground.
The South Vietnamese barbarians were terrified, never expected that the Han army would not pay attention to the rules in the war, and the battle avoidance card hung high in front of the camp gate should be strictly followed, and the Han army simply ignored the rules of war avoidance, and shot down the battle avoidance card with an arrow.
The simple wooden camp gate could not be blocked for too long, the arrow array outside the camp kept shooting, the South Vietnamese barbarians tried very hard to fight back with bows and arrows, but the technology of South Vietnam was too poor, the Qin crossbow brought sixty years ago had long been rotten and unusable, and the horn bow of the local cork zuò in South Vietnam was not of great use, and the arrows shot were soft and only a few dozen meters away, and there was no strength to fly out through a camp wall.
Outside the camp gate, the snare drum shook the sky. The people inside the camp gate were panicked and did not know what to do.
"Fight back!"
"No! The Han army is too powerful for us to stop. ”
South Vietnamese General Lü Chin-qi beheaded several cowardly officers. Still can't stop the wavering military spirit, the Han army came too fast and too quickly. After the rain and the sky was clear, they immediately launched an attack, so that the South Vietnamese army had not yet decided whether to fight again or withdraw.
Knock knock knock......
The camp gate was trembling, and the Han army was finally about to attack the camp.
"General, let's retreat! If you don't leave, it's too late. ”
Lu Qin gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and the officers and men of the three armies fled without their lives, leaving an inconspicuous door on the south side of the camp, which was the path left by the South Vietnamese to escape for themselves.
Bang!
The twisted camp gate was smashed into pieces, and the Han soldiers rushed in, and there was not even a single figure in the big camp.
Pick up the tents of the South Vietnamese soldiers. Chen He scolded and walked out: "Let them run again, this group of South Vietnamese people run faster than rabbits, like a loach that can't slip away!" ”
"Did they run?"
Chen He was stunned for a moment, and turned around to see Chen Wushu walking in: "General Che Cai sent 20,000 pursuers to try every means to keep the fleeing South Vietnamese army." ”
"This terrain cannot be pursued by cavalry."
"The infantry will do, and if you catch the South Vietnamese barbarians, there will always be people who will be left behind."
Guan Qiang commanded men and horses to carry the ordnance, grain and grass of the South Vietnamese battalion, and 30,000 people were enough to eat two months' grain and grass was not a small amount, although the South Vietnamese country was very poor and weak. However, there is no shortage of food in small tropical countries, and there are fish and shrimp in the oceans, rivers and lakes throughout the year, wild animals in the jungle, and bananas and grapefruit in the trees. I heard that there are also three crops of rice that can be eaten.
The granary of the South Vietnamese people is doing well, the moisture-proof and moisture-proof arrangement is in place, and the quartermaster in charge of grain and grass of the Han army is amazed by the management technology of the South Vietnamese people. The Han land is in the north on both sides of the Yellow River, and there is no need to spend a lot of effort to prevent moisture. However, in recent years, the warm and humid air flow has been circulating all year round, and the increase in the annual average temperature has brought great losses from water disasters, storms, and seawater inflow.
This summer. The news from the state of Qi made the imperial court very uneasy, and the violent storms and rains raged for a month, causing the backflow of seawater and washing away the dikes, bringing heavy disasters to the villages and farmlands along the coast, and the corresponding drought and locust plagues were greatly reduced, and the floods and rivers posed a great threat.
In the military tent of the South Vietnamese forward battalion, Lu Qin only had time to take away the seal and the signing documents, the marching map and the bamboo slips of various documents were scattered all over the place, and the toppled candlesticks burned half of the camp tent, only because the dampness was too heavy just after the rainstorm, and the wet outside the camp tent was extinguished halfway without ignition.
Zhuang Qingzhai said: "The weakness of the South Vietnamese people is beyond my expectations, I thought they would resist stubbornly, at least they would have to cut off their tails to survive, have the descendants of the Qin people degenerated to such a point?" ”
"They are not Qin, there are no Qins in the South Vietnamese army, and all Qins are barbarianized." Cao Shi sighed.
The vigilance of the South Vietnamese army was like a stupid roe deer, and it actually used the rudimentary tactics against the Minyue people to fight against the more professional Han army, and it was still so naïve and naïve to be a soldier, and the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period had long been outdated, and it was a dream to expect to use a war avoidance card to solve the problem of weak attack.
Zhuang Qingzhai smiled: "If it is me, you still have to watch the battle avoidance card." ”
"How can we give up the victory for the sake of the faith of a group of barbarians? Marching and fighting is by no means child's play, morality is only suitable for the situation of equal strength, what kind of morality does the Han Empire and South Vietnam talk about? That would only hurt you. ”
Cao Shi had an expression full of indifference, he didn't remember how the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed in history, he only knew that it was probably the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it seemed that it was destroyed without much effort, and the Xiongnu in the north were more tricky in comparison.
Two hours later, the pursuing Han army 6 continued to return to the camp, as expected, the unsuspecting South Vietnamese deserters were defeated again, the South Vietnamese barbarians lost their armor and desperately drilled into the dense forest, the Han army scattered their main force, captured more than 3,000 South Vietnamese barbarians who did not have time to escape, and chased twenty miles before slowly withdrawing.
Li You touched his head and was embarrassed: "We didn't dare to chase too deep, we were worried that the main force of the South Vietnamese Army would come to meet the defeated soldiers, and now I think it was too cautious." ”
"Three thousand is not less, there are more than 10,000 sets of leather armor and rattan wood armor, and there are also thousands of sets of bronze swords. Cao Shi was not angry, the pursuers of the Han army would not run too far, after all, the terrain was unfamiliar and there was no backup support, and it was easy to be surrounded if the ancient and modern were too far away.
After winning for a while, the morale of the army gradually stabilized, and the anxious soldiers finally felt at ease.
A small celebration banquet was held that night, and all the officers in charge of the army were present to celebrate.
"Congratulations to General Che Cavalry on his victory."
"Congratulations!"
The generals congratulated in unison, and familiar faces showed smiling faces.
Cao Shi said: "It is inconvenient to drink alcohol when marching and fighting, so today I will replace wine with tea, thank you and the soldiers who are fighting on the front line, and wish everyone to make persistent efforts to defeat the South Vietnamese army and make great achievements!" ”
"Whoa!"
Early the next morning, South Vietnamese envoys knocked on the camp gate.
Facing the might of the Han army, the young envoy raised his head without humility or arrogance and said: "Below is Lu Jia, a native of Xiou, on behalf of the king of my family, to greet the general of the chariot cavalry, my king hopes to negotiate peace with the Han army, and ask the two armies to stop the army and form an alliance forever."
