"Tengjia soldiers, go to battle!"

After returning to the army headquarters, Fu Chai pulled out a broad sword from his waist and shouted loudly.

I saw a large group of soldiers wearing vine armor suddenly walking out of the square formation of the Southern Barbarian army.

They were wearing rattan armor, shoulder pads, wrist guards, helmets, and even shields, all made of rattan.

This rattan armored force is small in size, with only about a thousand people.

Vine armor soldiers?

Looking at the vine-armored soldier in front of him, Qing Ji couldn't help but look puzzled.

"kill!"

As soon as Fu Cha gave an order, the heavily armed vine-armored soldiers rushed toward the Wu army's phalanx.

It seems that this is an elite soldier, because all they hold are spears in their hands, and they are not rusty, and are quite sharp!

"Fire the arrow!"

After the Tengjia soldiers entered the range of the bow and arrow, Sun Wu, the former army general, immediately gave the order to release arrows.

The archers who had already prepared their bows and arrows immediately relaxed their bow strings and shot out sharp arrows one after another.

A rain of arrows fell from the sky, "swish, swish, swish" and went straight towards the vine-armored soldiers.

It's like locusts passing through.

Unfortunately, the expected large number of casualties did not occur!

I saw chaotic arrows hitting the rattan armor and rattan shield, losing their original power and actually falling down.

Not to mention ordinary arrows, even crossbow arrows cannot penetrate this kind of vine armor.

Unless you use a powerful bed crossbow!

However, Wu Jun is not equipped with bed crossbows for the time being.

After all, Qingji did not expect a war to break out when he went on patrol.

"rush!"

"Kill!"

The morale of the Tengjia soldiers was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the Wu army's formation with shouts.

They were like a group of tigers and wolves, making howling sounds or roaring beasts. For a moment, they were like a group of demons dancing wildly!

"Shield array! Up!"

Seeing that even the crossbow arrows could not penetrate the enemy's vine armor, Sun Wu had no choice but to give orders and ask the shield bearer to raise the giant shield to form the first line of defense.

"kill!"

Fu Cha then issued the order to attack.

At this time, the vine armor soldiers had been blocked from the shield formation, but the vine armor on their bodies was still indestructible.

Neither arrows, spears, nor swords could effectively kill them.

Unless it can blind its eyes, there is no way to injure it in areas that are not protected by rattan armor!

"Withdraw! Withdraw your troops!"

Qingji immediately issued an order to retreat.

Without being able to deal with this thousand-strong rattan armored force, it would be difficult for the Wu army to achieve any results!

Instead of just increasing casualties, it's better to rely on the city to defend it!

Under Qingji's order, thousands of Wu army officers and soldiers quickly retreated into Juwu City like a tide.

Even if the Nanman army wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the city, they were blocked by the Wu army's shields and the rain of arrows from the sky.

The vine-armored soldiers can block the penetration of arrows, but those southern barbarians who don't even have armor, just wear animal clothes, or simply go bare-chested can't!

A hail of arrows shot out, immediately knocking down a large number of Nanman barbarians, just like cutting leeks.

In the end, Fu Cha could only watch helplessly as Wu Jun abandoned dozens of corpses and retreated into Juwu City, and then the thick city gate was closed tightly.

"hateful!"

Fucha clenched his fists unwillingly and glared at Juwu's city wall angrily.

The Baiyue people were originally savages who drank hair and blood and lived a primitive society. They had few craftsmen and their civilization was quite backward.

Therefore, Fu Cha couldn't even find the most basic siege equipment, and it was difficult to build it in a short time!

Even if Jewucheng is not a decent solid city, he can only look forward to it and sigh!

…

After Qingji returned to the government office in Juwucheng, he summoned all the generals to discuss matters.

Sun Wu, the imperial censor, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the vine armor of the vine armor soldiers on the Southern Barbarian Army is so strong that neither arrows nor spears can penetrate it."

"With these vine-armored soldiers, even if there are thousands of them, it is difficult for our Wu army to defeat them!"

When all the generals heard this, they couldn't help but nodded slightly in agreement.

Whether fighting alone or in large groups, the Wu army was not afraid of these southern barbarians at all.

It's just that the other party seems to have a lot of strange and weird methods, which is difficult to deal with!

However, as a time traveler and familiar with history, how could Qingji not know how to deal with the vine armored soldiers?

It is said that rattan armor is made from wild vines that grow in the wilderness of the southwest. It is processed by skilled craftsmen and soaked in tung oil. It takes 7,749 days to make.

This armor is light and strong, good at preventing arrows, invulnerable to swords and spears, does not sink when exposed to water, and is invincible on the battlefield.

Later, during Zhuge Kongming's southern expedition, he used a fire attack strategy to burn the Snake Valley and defeat the Tengjia Army.

Qing Ji was able to use fire attacks to deal with Nanmanzi's vine-armored soldiers.

"Second Son, as far as I know, rattan armor is made of ivy growing in the local mountains and forests. It is very strong. If stabbed with a sword or shot with an arrow, it will be difficult to pierce."

"Since tigers and leopards are often found in the harsh mountain environment, the rattan armor worn by the South Vietnamese can protect themselves and is very safe when ambushing wild animals."

"That's why they wear rattan armor when hunting."

Qingji changed the topic and said: "Of course, Tengjia is not unsolvable!"

"What do you think the second and third sons should fear from things like vines and trees?"

All the generals thought for a moment. Sun Wu's eyes lit up first and he replied: "Your Majesty, I know this. The most fearful thing among vines and trees is fire!"

"good!"

"But why did our Wu army attack the vine-armored soldiers with fire?"

This is a very important question.

Juwu is a place that is surrounded by mountains on two sides, water on one side, and plain wilderness on the other. It does not have the same geographical conditions as the Coiling Snake Valley when Zhuge villagers burned the Tengjia soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period.

Moreover, it is mid-February and the weather in Kuaiji County is not dry.

I'm afraid this fire will be difficult to burn!

The right time and right place, both are indispensable!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but ponder secretly.

"Father..."

At this time, Gong Zihong, who had been sitting not far away and was listening, suddenly called out submissively.

"Wu Hong, what's the matter?"

Qingji couldn't help but frown.

He asked his two sons, Wu Hong and Wu Xi, to attend. However, regarding military issues, they were just boys, so how could they participate?

Qingji only thought that Wu Hong had something else to do.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hong lowered his head and said slowly: "Father, I think that if the fire attack is invincible, the vine-armored soldiers should have a weakness."

"What's the weakness?"

Qingji asked curiously.

"Since the vine-armored soldiers are not afraid of spears, arrows, and sharp weapons, why don't you use blunt weapons to break them? If you have a giant ax or a hammer, you should be able to seriously injure the vine-armored soldiers!"

"..."

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

"color!"

Sun Wu and Fan Li were the first to applaud and looked at Wu Hong approvingly, saying: "The eldest son has a great talent! Although he is young, he is so smart that I can't wait for you!"
