"Guo Baihu is so considerate!" Wang Guozhong lamented, "We rude military men are so far behind."
Liu Qishi shook his head and said: "It's not carefulness, it's seriousness. Didn't he say that you should think in another's shoes? Imagine yourself as the enemy and look at the problem from the enemy's perspective. If you are a prisoner and march on the road, you will not observe your surroundings.
?”
Wang Guogong nodded and said: "I looked at it on the road and couldn't find it at all. Unless I walked through the snow to get closer, Jianlu probably wouldn't do this."
After a pause, he exclaimed: "But if he can kill with one arrow from such a long distance, Guo Baihu can be called a magic arrow."
Liu Qishi was also very surprised. It was not particularly difficult to hit the enemy at this distance. But it was very difficult to kill him with one hit!
"My arrows are poisonous." Guo Dajing came over and explained with a smile: "The kind that seals its throat when it sees blood."
Oh, now I understand.
Liu Qishi, Wang Guozhong and others suddenly realized, this is only reasonable! No matter where it is, as long as the skin is broken and blood is seen, death will be inevitable.
Guo Dajing didn't make it up, it was true this time. But it's just a matter of saying "one's throat is cut off at the sight of blood", just follow the Romans, it just looks powerful.
Guo Dajing didn't know how much harm the poisonous poison and organophosphorus would do to the human body in wounds. After all, he would definitely die if he drank it, but he couldn't squeeze Jianlu's neck and drink it.
Therefore, applying poison is only an aid, he still strives to kill him with one arrow. A Baylor can be called a prince. Killing Yue Tuo is equivalent to releasing another satellite.
That's right, if Yue Tuo was killed by sniper, Guo Dajing would have set a record.
Yue Tuo will also become the highest-ranking prisoner who died at the hands of the Ming army. Are you proud, aren't you?
After everything was prepared, everyone split up. Guo Dajing, Liu Qishi and others were hiding in the woods and were in no rush to enter the lurking position.
Jianlu did not expect that a Longgushan city defended by Korean volunteers would be so difficult to attack. He did not carry much food and grass, and had no intention of siege.
After the attack is frustrated or the casualties exceed expectations, the Jianlu will inevitably choose to retreat. Based on this estimate, the waiting time will not be very long.
Guo Dajing ate the dry food and fell into a slumber. He recalled Yue Tuo's appearance, clothing and armor that Liu Qishi pointed out in his mind, and found that it was not difficult to distinguish them.
Ancient people did not have the concept of precise sniping. As a general, he would always wear bright and distinctive armor to let the soldiers see his heroic appearance.
This is also a way to boost morale. Even if they don't take the lead, there are very few officers hiding in hiding.
Therefore, even if he didn't know Yue Tuo, Guo Dajing could almost determine the target based on the grade of his armor and the protection of his soldiers.
As his consciousness sank into the space, Guo Dajing looked at the several crossbows he had finished making, as well as dozens of loaded mines, and started busy work again.
When fighting guerrillas, a crossbow is more practical than a musket because it is silent and has a faster rate of fire than a musket. In the mountains and forests, there are many obstructions and limited vision, so there is no need to be too demanding in terms of range.
Quenching poison is a good way to increase the power of crossbow arrows. Guo Dajing couldn't get curare wood, but there is a relatively common medicinal material that can be used as a substitute.
That kind of medicinal material is called Aconitum. It is said that Guan Yu was hit by this kind of poisonous arrow, and it was Hua Tuo who performed the surgery. There is also a story about "scraping the bones to cure the poison".
Even though it wasn't very violent, just thinking about it and cutting off a piece of Jianlu's flesh made me feel relieved. What's more, how many doctors can match Hua Tuo's medical skills?
Guo Dajing hoped to have his head cut off for headaches and his legs for pain. Being hit by an aconite poisonous arrow would increase the disability of Jianlu's missing arms and legs, which is also a good thing.
As for the musket, Guo Dajing felt that it could be used for defense. Of course, after seeing the rate of fire and power of the matchlock gun, Guo Dajing really couldn't praise it.
Even if the rate of fire can be continued with three or four shots, the power is still unsatisfactory.
From this point of view, using or equipping a heavy matchlock gun is a better choice. When the rate of fire is about the same, the power of the lead bullets of the heavy matchlock gun will render Jianlu's heavy armor useless within the effective range.
Even if it cannot break armor, the impact of a heavy matchlock lead bullet is enough to cause blunt trauma. In fact, the effect of being hit by a heavy matchlock lead bullet should be similar to that of a heavy sniper hit on the human body in later generations.
Bah! Flesh and blood flew everywhere, bones and tendons were broken. If you hit it on the head, it would be like a rotten watermelon; if you hit it on an arm or leg, it would be the fastest amputation operation, and even a British man with a sharp knife would be defeated.
Of course, having heavy muskets is not enough to compete with the Jianlu in the field. Forming a battle formation can certainly withstand the Jianlu's attack.
However, the speed of the battle formation was slow and its maneuverability was poor. The initiative on the battlefield was still in the hands of the Jianlu. They could fight if they wanted to and leave if they didn't want to. The advantages of cavalry were something that even the Ming army did not possess.
Unless Jianlu's head is kicked by a donkey, he must hit the battle formation with all his strength, and he must die in pieces.
Obviously, such a thing would only happen under certain circumstances. For example, if Jianlu was surrounded and had only one way to escape, he would naturally have to rush to kill them.
Therefore, Guo Dajing did not think that an army capable of fighting Jianlu in the field could be trained in a short period of time. As for fighting with battle formations, it would be too passive in front of Jianlu's cavalry.
With the help of fortifications, focusing on defense, coupled with guerrilla raids, constantly consuming the effective strength of the captives, training and cultivating the confidence and fighting spirit of the soldiers is the basis and basis for field warfare.
Muskets, crossbows, and mines can also play a good role in defensive operations. At least in the shooting posture, they are more suitable for parapet trench fortifications.
…………………….
Dragon Bone Mountain City.
Jianlu and the Shavermen attacked again but failed, leaving more corpses under the city wall.
Although the huge boulder directional mines have been used, there are still many small mines on the city. Coupled with bows, arrows, muskets, rolling wood and stones, the Jianlu, who had no skills in attacking the city, could only return in defeat once again.
"I still wasn't prepared enough and acted in a hurry." Yue Tuo lightly whipped his boots with a riding crop and sighed helplessly.
The successful capture of Uiju Castle, Yongcheon, Seoncheon, Anju and other cities created a great misunderstanding for Yue Tuo and the captives he led.
They did not pay enough attention to the Longgu Mountain City occupied by the North Korean volunteers, thinking that they could defeat it with one attack.
They did not bring much food and grass, and the siege equipment was not fully prepared. Coupled with the steepness of Longgu Mountain City, the defenders were united in their efforts, and the prisoners hit the iron plate this time.
From Chen to Shen, the siege operation lasted for six or seven hours. Excluding lunch breaks and meals, it took four to five hours and five or six attacks.
Yue Tuo knew that he could no longer fight. He had suffered heavy losses in men and horses, and almost all the siege equipment. He had lost the ability to attack.
