Chapter 117: Peasant-style means of warfare
Fireworks, a local method.
Peasant style, with cunning means of war.
At that time, Lu Si asked Luo Yongnian to buy fireworks in Gaozhou City, just to use these to kill the officers and soldiers, but it was definitely a "weapon" that could cause the officers and soldiers to fall into chaos, which unexpectedly defeated the enemy.
No matter how bold a person is, he will close his eyes when he is in the fireworks array.
This is not physical or psychological fear, but instinct.
Protection of eye instinct.
Losing your eyes and falling into chaos is the best time to defeat the enemy.
The Ming army was in chaos.
this..."
Li Qifeng, the general of Gansu Town, didn't know how to describe what he saw for three "this".
The eunuch Gao Qifeng, the military supervisor, was also stunned. After living for more than 40 years, it was the first time that someone had used firecrackers as cannon envoys and fire guns.
Cao Yuan, who sat on the horse and saw further away, said in a speechless voice: "No, the Gansu soldiers are about to collapse!"
Meng Qingyu also knew it was not good, because he could not see anything except the sound of firecrackers "Pi Li Ba".
The Gansu soldiers who were rushing to the battlefield were all shrouded in smoke, and the damn Beifeng stopped for some reason.
From a distance, in the wheat field, on the riverside, on the official road, there was a vast smoke from east to west, as if there was suddenly a heavy fog.
At this time, even a fool knew that Gansu soldiers could not win.
Shi Dewei also shocked the scene in front of him. Like Li Qifeng not far away, he, Dusi, didn't know what to say.
"high,"
Cai Yiqing murmured, "Gao Ming."
The ethics official gave Lu Si a very fair evaluation, although the latter did not know.
.........
"Don't be messed up, don't be messed up!"
Wang Shida, the chief general of Gansu soldiers on the official road, was born as the captain of Li Qifeng's personal soldiers. However, even though he saw many corpses and had suffered many bloody battles, he was called firecrackers so much that he couldn't open his eyes and shouted in panic.
The officers and soldiers around could not hear what Mr. Qian called. I don’t know where the thief got so many firecrackers. They kept firing on the other side and exploded on the other side. Many officers and soldiers were stunned by the ears. Those who were not confused also closed their eyes and didn’t even bother to take the knife. They covered their ears and ran back with instinct.
You can't run without running!
Run a few steps and hit someone;
I ran a few steps, took a breath, and tears fell from my eyes.
The front and back hit the back, and the back hit the front, almost a dozen breaths, and the Ming army stepped on each other.
With a scream of "Ah", a firecracker actually fell into the neck of a boss. Before the boss could realize it, he exploded with a "bang".
This explosion was amazing. It directly exploded the back of the boss's neck. The gorgeous fireworks spread out with the blood. The pain was so that the hand always rolled around on the ground, tripping several of the people around who were afraid to open their eyes.
This person is also the only person who was killed by fireworks in this battle.
I don’t know if he was lucky or unlucky.
The Gansu soldiers were not equipped either. Except for the officers and servants, the rest were all cotton coats. The firecrackers exploded densely, and sparks naturally splashed on the officers and soldiers' cotton coats. Many officers and soldiers' clothes were burning at that time, but they closed their eyes tightly because they were afraid that their eyes would be blown up and had no idea that their clothes were burned. When they felt something was burning, they would jump up like frightened rabbits.
It's messy, it's messy.
He closed his eyes and covered his ears and ran around, jumped and threw his body into fire, rolling around on the ground, smoke filled with smoke, and the firecrackers were still blowing over. The Ming army in it was like an ant on a hot pan.
What Ming Jun even more unexpected was that the straw they thought the people used to keep wheat from being cold was also called to ignite.
First, a small flame rushed up, then a small piece, then a large piece, and finally from east to west, except on the official road, all the straw on the wheat fields on both sides was covered.
Of course, these straws were not laid by the people, but by Lu Si who asked someone to carry them to the laying.
For this reason, the villagers in the nearby village probably had not burned fire grass for half a year, and the wheat this year would be harvested.
It is okay for people to step on wheat. When spring is warm and rainy, life will be full of vitality. But if you want to burn the fire, you will really die, but you can’t die anymore.
Of course, Lu Si will definitely compensate the villagers afterwards, as he has always emphasized to his subordinates-Huai Army is a righteous army.
But, I have to wait until I win.
Lu Si asked people to spread the straw in the wheat field not thick, so even if it caught a fire, it would not burn people to death. The problem is that the straw on the bottom combined with the moisture in the field will produce thick smoke. If you want to prevent the smoke from being produced, you have to peel off the top so that the grass below can burn well.
Did the Ming army have this skill?
Ming Jun, who was already choked by the smoke from the firecrackers and couldn't breathe, asked Lu Si, who could still insist on not escaping, would also respect him!
There is no pier in this section of the canal, so the banks of the river naturally cannot be flat. They are all taller than people. Usually, these reeds will be cut and tied into bundles by the villagers and taken home to cook the pot, but now it has become a nightmare for the Ming army.
The Huai Army did not deliberately set fire to light these reed fires, but could not resist the Ming army on fire running around everywhere. As a result, they were "stopped" and the reed fires that could not be done were called to light them. Then the light wind turned into a real big fire.
The "Tengteng" flames burned the approaching Ming army extremely hot with heat waves.
Without water depth, it is hot.
Lu Si looked at the scene he created calmly. He was not afraid of death. He was bloody, but he also had brains.
Even if the Huai Army was willing to share life and death with his brother Lu, and would fight to the end with his brother Lu and his officers and soldiers, unless there was no way, Lu Si would take them to death with all their might.
Now, there is a way.
The command system of the Ming army was not effective, which led to the failure of their nearly 10,000 troops to jointly attack the Huai army as soon as possible, giving Lu Si the opportunity and time to use his brain.
"kill!"
With Lu Si's order, the Huai Army soldiers with wet cloth and wipes on their mouths and noses rushed from all over the place towards the already chaotic Ming army.
The Huai army men holding bamboo poles also rushed up with the fireworks that were still setting off. While running, the fireworks bombs exploded forward.
There may be "misat attacks" during this process, but more of them are bombed into the Ming army.
Men have eyes.
"Bang bang bang" is still dense and still resounding, and the Ming army is still in chaos.
"cut!"
When the Huai Army rushed to the smoke with a crowd of people in the sky, hundreds of long knives were swung down at the same time and hundreds of spears were stabbed away at the same time.
Real human flesh chopping, real human blood on the battlefield.
The Ming army collapsed, but in fact they had already collapsed before the Huai army charged.
How do blind men fight?
Everyone was running back desperately, and no one dared to turn around with a knife.
This is true for officers and soldiers.
