[69 Book Bar-www.] Fires soared into the sky. Looking from afar, I saw stars rising up, mixed with sounds. When a bunch of fires rose into the sky at a time, people around me would cheer.
.But Wu Hou's brows frowned. Suddenly, he shouted, "Dragon! Have you gotten back?"
Is there anything wrong? I turned my head and looked at the firelight over there, and suddenly, I felt inexplicably panic in my heart.
I have thrown the gunpowder bag myself, and I don't know how much the pack of gunpowder is, but it's about a pound, but the fire is not as high as that. But from this scene, it seems that the gunpowder is not exploded on the ground, but
It burned in the air.
Thinking of this, I shivered. Could it be that some dead man was anxious and lit gunpowder in the air? But even if the fire went off, it would not become so big.
I was so anxious that I wanted to come and see what happened. I immediately thought of the telescope that Xue Wenyi made.
Although the thing cannot be seen clearly, I can see some of it. But at this time, the fire light was spinning up and down, and it was already calm. Now that I can't see anything when I get there.
At this time, there was a noise under the city. As soon as the city gate opened, it seemed like a horse was rushing into the city. Someone rushed straight to the top of the city.
That was a rebel.
He rushed past me and didn't notice me at all. As soon as he came to the city, he knelt on the ground and said, "Report to the Lord, things... things are not good!"
He was also out of breath. He rushed through the journey, but it was too fast, which made him very tired.
Wu Hou said: "What happened?"
Naqiu said, "Report to the Marquis of Wu, Reebok Camp...the entire army was wiped out!"
What? I was also shocked and changed my color when I was on the side. The total number of Reebok camp was 5,000, and after the reduction of personnel, there were still more than 3,000. The entire Reebok camp was wiped out by the scammer, which was originally a thousand sent this time.
But Wu Hou's face did not change, and he said, "Go in and talk." He waved his hand, the big eagle and little eagle protected him into the tent, and the scoundrel followed him in.
The girl's legs were led down to the city by a general from the baggage camp. The general knew me, and he greeted me when he walked past me. I also bowed to him, but just paid attention to her.
Her yellow shirt was blown up in the night wind. On the spring night, the wind was still chilly. Looking at her holding the pipa, she floated away, but her face was still blank, and my heart couldn't help but feel a little painful.
After getting off the city, some of the remaining troops of the sharp barracks of the South Gate came back. When they set off, they were 1,050, but only about 100 people were left, and they were indeed wiped out.
This attack was completely unaware of it. The vanguard battalion originally asked to go to war, but Wu Hou said that the vanguard battalion was mostly cavalry and the sound was too loud, so he sent a thousand sharp barracks out. The Reebok battalion was a vanguard.
Although the elite troops in the army have worse attack power than the vanguard battalion, they are better at defense. The discipline of the Reebok battalion is much stricter than that of the vanguard battalion, which they think is superior to. This fire attack is indeed more suitable for them.
One thousand people died in battle, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army was not bad. However, this thought was a sure victory strategy, but it was completely useless. Instead, the snake man used the strategy, but had a huge impact on the morale of the army. Some soldiers at the gate ignored the ban.
He asked around the remnants of troops.
This operation was originally confidential. It was not until the departure that the soldiers at the gate of the city knew that a team was going to attack. This kind of attack method was unheard of. They thought they would win, but they did not expect the ending to be like this.
I walked around and asked what happened. I walked to the crowd and listened.
The Reebok camp was led by Guan Hong, a battalion officer in the camp, and brought the entire army to the edge of the forest. At first, everything was as usual. When the kite was launched, a large group of snake people suddenly broke out in the forest. At this time, the kite in the sky had not yet
When Guan Hong arrived at the Snake Man's camp, if Guan Hong retreated immediately, he would just abandon the fifty soldiers and ignore them. The entire army could still return safely. However, Guan Hong fought to the death and wanted to hold on until the kite threw down gunpowder and fight
Success is without regrets even if you die.
The strategy also worked very well. In front of the Reebok camp's strong wall formation, although the number of snake men was superior, they were unable to defeat the Reebok camp's defense in one fell swoop. Just as the kite arrived at the Snake Man formation, they suddenly flew up from the Snake Man camp.
The large number of birds with fire on their bodies. The fifty kites immediately ignited in the air. At this point, all the fighting spirit of the Reebok camp collapsed. None of the fifty soldiers on the kites returned, and a thousand people from the Reebok camp were also
The massacres were all gone.
In the terrifying narratives of the remaining soldiers, there was still fear. Guan Hong's brave demeanor who would rather die than surrender could not infect them. In their hearts, only panic about the snake man was left.
The more I listened, the more I felt disheartened. Marquis Wu originally wanted to win a battle and withdraw his troops, but who knew that he would be able to do what he would do in the future?
I looked up at the sky. It was almost dawn, and there were still a large number of soldiers at the city gate. At this time, a general riding a horse came over and shouted, "What are you saying! Get in your position quickly, and those who leave your posts will be killed.
!”
Indeed, squeezing like this will only make the morale of the army unstable. Now many intermediate central troops are also crowded in the crowd, and it seems that they have never expected the entire military discipline. This man is very ruthless and has the spirit of a general. The soldiers guarding the city are all
Back to his original position, the retreating Reebok camp walked towards his camp. I was about to leave, but the general came over and said, "Hey, which camp you are from, why don't you leave?"
I looked at him. The man's robe was an inspector of the Central Army. Before I could reply, he turned over and dismounted, bowed to me, and said, "General Chu, the last general Yuan Kexiang has seen him."
I will be rude."
I said, "You are right, I'll return to the team right away."
Yuan Kexiang said, "General Chu, please ride my horse. I will come to General Chu's camp to bring horses in a while."
My arms were suffering from pain. When I rushed over, I was too impatient and never rode a horse. The mount I used to ride had already died in the first battle between the Dragon Scale Army and the Snake Man, but now I have been keeping my mount.
I haven't ridden in the Dragon Scale Army stable. I was not polite, so I bowed to him and said, "I'm working hard."
Yuan Kexiang bowed to me, turned his head but patrolled everywhere. I took off my horse and walked towards the Longlin Military Camp. On the horse, I saw soldiers whispering everywhere along the way.
The battle of Wuhou was completely defeated. The failure of this battle shattered the plan of Wuhou returning to the army with a complete victory. I wonder if Wuhou would swallow this bitter fruit and endure humiliation to return to the army. In fact, from the overall situation
Look, it is still the best way to retreat now. But how could this battle be defeated? The strategy of attacking the enemy camp with gunpowder can be said to be the first time in the history of imperial warfare, and the snake man's lifelike
My mind would never think of it. The only possibility is that there are traitors in our army.
I almost immediately thought of that shadow. Seeing that shadow was before the Reebok camp. Could it be a traitor? I couldn't help but shudder. The traitor naturally would not be a snake man, but if it was an individual, then this person would
Who is it? If it were in the past, I would have decided that it was the remnants of the Republican Army immediately. But now thinking about it, there are too many doubts about the remnants of the Republican Army. If he lurked in the Imperial Army, why didn’t he appear during the siege of the city, but had to wait
The Republican Army only came out after it was destroyed?
I was thinking immediately, and at this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Commander! Commander Chu!"
