Seeing the Qin soldiers jumping out of the grass one after another, Wang Mi nodded happily.
"see that."
"As long as we smoke them out, they will have to die!"
The archers' eyes were opened. They didn't expect that there were so many Qin soldiers hidden in the grass.
With so many enemies, if you only rely on a single rocket to kill them, you probably won't be able to kill them all in just a short while.
It’s better to use Shilang Wang’s method!
I originally thought that he was a civil servant and could not master all aspects of war tactics. But now I know that he has real abilities and is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs!
What are you waiting for?
Of course, everyone did what Wang Shilang asked everyone to do!
This time, no more words!
In fact, these soldiers had not seen many scenes in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, and they thought Wang Mi's tricks were something new.
In fact, this is just a method often used by the generals in the late Jin Dynasty.
Since the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, although the Sima family came to the south of the Yangtze River and continued to survive, strictly speaking, they were unable to restore the north of the Yangtze River.
This also resulted in continuous wars in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Counting from this time, for about two hundred years, the situation of division and separatism in China will not change.
Since everyone is not a unified court, competing for territory is the main line and will not change. The continuous wars have prompted each court to recruit troops extensively and actively.
Recruitment may be easier in the north, but it is much more difficult in the south. Because the climate here is humid, fresh fruits and vegetables are available all year round, and the river network is dense and does not freeze. Therefore, many
Villagers can use local materials to find food to make a living.
Once the news is received and the court wants to recruit young men from all over the country, the villagers will flee into the mountains and may not leave the mountains for a year and a half.
There are all kinds of food in the mountains, which is enough to sustain the lives of the villagers. Therefore, since they are hungry, it is impossible for you to wait for them to come out of the mountains on their own.
Therefore, the general, who was clever and eager to complete his mission, would use various tricks to drive the villagers out of the mountains.
The simplest way is to go directly into the mountains to arrest people. However, the effect is not very good. The main reason is that the south is mountainous and hilly, and they are often connected together. If you arrange arrests here, I can go elsewhere.
Running in the mountains.
The villagers wandered around in the mountains. The generals and the pursuing soldiers often broke their legs due to exhaustion, but still could not catch many people.
So what is the most immediate solution?
Is there really such a way?
Of course!
Set the mountain on fire!
Although it will cause a certain degree of loss of manpower and material resources, this method can achieve results very quickly.
Once the fire spreads, there will be endless fires for days and days. With such a big fire, thick smoke will rise. Even if the villagers can temporarily hide in a place without fire, they often cannot stand the terrifying thick smoke.
They had no choice but to walk out of the mountain obediently, so the soldiers led by the general only needed to wait near the mountain pass and wait.
Just like today, on the battlefield of Yecheng.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Run quickly!"
The Qin soldiers, who had been lurking safely, suddenly burst into flames around them. They seemed to have forgotten that you can use fire, and the Jin army can also use fire.
Besides, their firepower is much greater than yours.
Niu Zan never expected that the Jin army's counterattack would come so quickly, but he saw with his own eyes that the Jin army's general almost fell off his horse.
Although he was rescued by his companions in the end, he almost died.
Just now, when the Qin soldiers used rockets to attack, the Jin army's battle formation was very chaotic. The soldiers were fighting independently and the orders could not be carried out smoothly.
The morale of the soldiers of the Qin army is very high. If the formation continues as before, it is certain that the Jin army will be completely defeated before long.
At least, this wave of Jin troops trying to sneak attack the South Gate will definitely be wiped out.
Niu Zan, who had won a partial victory, sent some soldiers to deliver the message to Ye City, so that the soldiers in the city should prepare early.
As long as they are prepared, the Jin army will not be able to say anything when faced with the behemoth of Yecheng.
time!
Niu Zan knew very well that he appeared here not only to kill the Jin army, but also to delay time.
As long as the Jin army can be held in Fugu for at least half an hour, the generals in Yecheng will be ready to respond.
But who would have known that the Jin army's reaction was so fast, it was so fast that the Qin army's fire attack tactics only took three rounds before the Jin army used the same method to counter it.
The Jin army first used artillery to clear the way, temporarily suppressing the Qin army's offensive, and then quickly equipped the archers with rockets.
The speed and fierce firepower were beyond Niu Zan's imagination.
Wave after wave of Qin soldiers jumped out of the grass. These were the people he had deliberately stayed in place, waiting for orders.
Complete follow-up support force.
But who knows, now they are all forced out by the billowing smoke and endless fire, and they can no longer hide themselves.
Niu Zan was anxious, but what could he do?
There is nothing he can do now, so it is beyond his reach.
Although the number of Qin soldiers who came to block the attack was limited, they were still an army. As soon as the counterattack began, Niu Zan was the first to rush out and led the soldiers to repeatedly charge and kill in the battle formation.
Now, Niu Zan has been squeezed between the Qin and Jin armies and is unable to return troops to maintain order.
Seeing the soldiers rushing out of the grass again and again, Niu Zan was so anxious that he decided to give it a try.
He tightened the reins of the horse, turned over the horse's head, and headed straight into the grass!
Who can stop him?
Who dares to stop him?
Armed with weapons, anyone who stands in front of Niu Zan will either escape in time or die under his gun!
"not good!"
"We can't let that guy go back!"
"Zhiyuan, I'm going to kill the general who defeated Qin!"
Zeng Jing is a hot-blooded man who does whatever he thinks, and he always likes to use grudges as a way of gratification.
He could now see clearly who the general among the Qin soldiers was. As soon as he saw the man moving, he was the first to take action.
Wang Mi grabbed his spear and stopped him.
"Wait!"
"Don't worry, let me take care of him."
Come in person?
Is he okay?
Zeng Jing's suspicious look made Wang Mi very hurt. I'm obviously very good at martial arts. What kind of expression is this? Is it looking down on someone?
Zeng Jing's suspicion aroused Wang Mi's competitive spirit. The more they thought he was not good enough, the more he tried to give it a try.
When you bend a bow and shoot an arrow, it is naturally a rocket.
What Wang Mi is better at is of course pistols, but he still chose rockets this time. Firstly, in the face of the provocation of these pure Jin people, only by using the same old weapons as them can they be convinced.
The second is based on realistic considerations.
The current situation near Fugu makes it difficult to use pistols.
Of course, those Qin soldiers who gradually ran out of the burning grass would not be safe. Various weapons of the Jin army were waiting for them.
Cold ones, hot ones, sharp ones, explosive ones, all are available.
The soldiers who finally escaped from the sea of fire were still in shock when they saw countless Jin troops rushing towards them.
That's the so-called wait and see situation.
The Jin troops who were closer used cold weapons to greet them, and pierced the Qin soldiers' chests one after another.
What about the ones that are far away?
Those Jin troops who were temporarily blocked in the core battle formation by the Qin soldiers and unable to advance were not willing to lag behind.
Shoot arrows when you should shoot arrows, and throw cannons when you should.
Only the comrades of the Pistol Team felt a little lonely at the moment. They had no choice but to do so because their weapons were limited.
There is no problem with the range. Now the battle formations of the Jin army and the Qin army are intertwined and mixed together, and the distance is very close.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
The problem is the projectile's attack range.
Most of the projectiles used by Wu Di now are lead bullets, and a few are iron bullets. No matter what type they are, these types of projectiles are solid.
Its flight speed and strike surface cannot be compared with later hollow-point bullets.
A better way to use a pistol is to appear at the beginning of the charge.
Use a pistol to intimidate enemy troops.
But at this point, mere deterrence is no longer effective, and a fatal attack must be given to the enemy.
In comparison, Wang Mi also admitted that before the pistol was comprehensively improved, its attack capability was still inferior to that of bows and arrows, especially when the two armies were fighting and the battle formations were mixed together.
A rocket with fire is even more powerful!
Under the continuous attack of the Jin army, the Di and Qin soldiers fell down one after another, falling to the ground like rootless leaves.
Perhaps, the soil is their destination.
And at this time, the person who added more fuel to the already chaotic battle situation was naturally no one else, but our Wang Shilang!
I saw him raising his bow and arrow, closing one eye, and aiming accurately. Just before the rocket was about to ignite the bowstring, he let go of the two arrows!
A Lingyun arrow burning with fire flew straight out like this!
The slender wooden pole was elastic, and when blown by the breeze, it actually showed a certain bend. Today, the Jin army was lucky.
Since the beginning of the war, the weather around Yecheng has been very good, with neither strong winds nor heavy rain. Whether it is cold weapons or hot weapons, as well as the fighting soldiers, they can be in the best condition.
The rocket flew straight towards its target along a certain arc. Among the rebellious army, Di Qin's battle formation was overwhelmed again. People were all too busy to care for themselves. There was no one left to care about the life and death of the leader of the cattle team.
At this tense moment, what is the target of this arrow doing?
The leader of the ox team is busy turning back to gather the team!
His head was facing backward, and his whole body had already been turned around, so he couldn't see what was behind him at all.
Niu Zan is so anxious!
The comrades kept rushing out of the bushes, and before they could even make a splash, they were killed by the Jin army.
A wave of...
Another wave...
Seeing that the follow-up soldiers who were ambushing in the grass were all about to be killed by the Jin army's attack.
Niu Zan knew that without his command, the entire team would be in danger of destruction.
How could this be?
He ran out of Yecheng with great ambition!
If the entire army was wiped out, how could he have the nerve to go back to see Zhang Hao, Fu Pi, and all his brothers?
With this belief, even though he knew that the defeat was irreversible, Niu Zan still relied on his superb martial arts to try to break out of the battle formation and lead the remaining soldiers to break out.
Some Qin soldiers gradually regained some consciousness, hid on a relatively safe small high ground that was not affected by the fire, and continued to attack the Jin army.
In a hurry, Niu Zan discovered them.
Kick the horse's belly and go to join them.
But at this moment, Niu Zan suddenly felt a stinging pain on his back, and then, his eyes reflected fire.
Blood gushed out instantly.
This is……
Hit by an arrow?
If his body hadn't been on fire, Niu Zan might not have known how he died until he closed his eyes.
"Zhiyuan, you are so amazing, you actually hit it!"
Unknowingly, that familiar voice appeared in my ears again, it was He Mai.
Xiao He was a restless person. Even though he was injured and Wang Mi ordered him to rest, how could he sit still?
On weekdays in Jiankang, the streets are very quiet and there is no liveliness at all, but he still has to find something to do from time to time.
The situation on the battlefield is now in full swing, and the fighting between the Jin and Qin armies has reached a fever pitch. If you ask Xiao He to stay out of the matter, how can he agree?
The medical officer accompanying the army had just bandaged him up, and he got on his horse and headed straight for Wang Mi.
When Wang Mi saw him, he was shocked but also took it for granted.
"How did you come?"
"The rear is empty, who will take responsibility?"
Wang Mi's meaning is very clear. If you want to join the war, you can. The generals here in Yecheng are tight now, and He Mai has actual combat experience after all.
However, with me at the front, you should guard the rear and deploy personnel and equipment. These things also need someone to do.
The results of it?
He Mai doesn't know how to do those things well, he only knows how to charge into battle. What's the use of that?
Wang Mi was extremely serious, but He Mai was still smiling.
"Of course I'm in charge!"
"Zhiyuan, don't worry, look, who is that?"
Wang Mi followed the direction of his finger and looked back, only to see an old acquaintance appearing among the chariot and many soldiers.
Suddenly, Wang Mi even felt that the old acquaintance, passing through thousands of troops, actually looked at him!
The excitement and heroic spirit surged up immediately!
"Ying it!"
"He's here too?"
He Mai nodded: "If Yongzhi hadn't come here, I wouldn't have dared to come and join you!"
"You think I'm not afraid of being scolded?"
He Mai has always been open-minded and meticulous in his work. In fact, Wang Mi's worries about him are often unnecessary.
As long as you think more about the scene when Xiao He was in Jingkou, when he was actively urging people to do business, you will know that this person's face and mind are actually higher than Wang Mi.
There is absolutely no doubt about this.
He Mai is a man who can go to court or to the market, and he has no airs at all.
As long as it is something he thinks is right and something he should do, no matter how much others laugh at him or suppress him, he will not look back.
And, you can definitely get things done.
Wang Mi's eyes flashed through everything that had happened before. What's more, it was inappropriate to rush back when others had already come.
I could only let out a long sigh and continue carrying it.
