Yang Fan's troops were fully armed and had to run five kilometers cross-country every morning. These people didn't take the road seriously at all. They quickly reached their destination without taking a breath.
As for why modern armies attach great importance to five-kilometer cross-country running, it is because within five kilometers, there is the range of mortars.
The most intensive artillery fire on the front line is mortars. These can come at any time and at any time.
No matter you are eating or taking a dump, sometimes, as soon as you look up, you will see a small black thing, falling almost vertically, running towards you.
The greatest threat, and the longest threat duration, is the mortar shooting area within five kilometers on both sides of the battle line. Soldiers must have the ability to maneuver fully armed in this area.
If you stay still, you will be a living target.
Soon the vanguard saw the dilapidated military camp.
This made Yang Fan's officers and soldiers look down upon him very much. What a damn thing he built. If he had built the fortress like this under his command, his ass would have been cracked open by military sticks.
There is not even a trench on the outside, let alone a barbed wire fence. There is no sandbag wall either.
I didn't see either the open or secret sentry, only a dozen old men holding spears and dozing at the camp gate. The candles in the lanterns were all out, so I don't know. The gate was also nailed to a small tree with its bark not peeled off.
It's twisted.
"There are three regiments, and the servant regiment is surrounding them from the front. The Sauron regiment and the pirate regiment go around and surround them. No thief can escape." Yang Fan ordered.
The troops immediately divided into three groups and surrounded the entire camp.
"Try to use cold weapons to solve the battle. These people have very weak combat power, so it is suitable to use them to practice cold weapon fighting." Yang Fan added.
Yang Fan has always believed that an army that cannot fight with bayonets is not a qualified army. It is not enough to always rely on firearms. It must be able to defeat Jiannu in hand-to-hand combat to be considered qualified.
These three regiments were originally cavalry, and even the pirate regiment was also mounted infantry. However, this time, Yang Fan used 3,000 taels of steam trucks, his first attempt to steam transport infantry.
Looking at it now, the effect is surprisingly good. The off-road speed of the steam truck is not less than 35 kilometers per hour. Although it cannot reach the maximum highway speed of 45 kilometers per hour, it is much better than a horse. The car does not need to rest. It can keep driving like this.
If the war horses had run away, they would have been useless. In two days and one night, in 36 hours, an army of more than 10,000 people rushed from Guihua City to Yulin Town.
The army quickly arrived at their designated positions and knelt on the ground. Countless pairs of eyes were watching the camp in the dark night.
It will be dawn soon.
Chen Ergou felt an urgent need to urinate, and reluctantly got out of the bed because there were two young ladies in the bed. He put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and went around to the back to drain the water.
These guys are lazy and stupid, and they urinate and poop nearby. As a result, there are piles of yellow and white stuff everywhere on the snow in the camp.
He was shaking while urinating, and suddenly a cold hand covered his mouth. Before he could scream, he felt a cold sharp blade slash across his throat.
Li Jinxi slowly put down the unlucky man. He was feeling unlucky. He just got rid of the gatekeeper and got into the camp gate. He met the man who came out to urinate in the first tent. He was almost not exposed.
"Hurry up, open the door completely, and let the army come in."
As the door opened, the servant group rushed in with a rumble. At the same time, the pirate group and the Sauron group also rushed forward. They pushed down the broken fence and surrounded them on all sides.
The movement of more than 10,000 people running was quite big, and it instantly woke up some alert old gangsters.
"Oops, the enemy is here, they're copying you."
"Where's my knife? Why the hell are you hanging my knife?"
"Hurry, there are many people surrounding you outside."
The camp was suddenly in a state of uproar. Among the rebels, the early leaders were either officers and soldiers of the border army or old gangsters. Good people and good family members, no one dares to rebel.
These people, who have been fighting for a long time as a profession, became the first to eat the crab.
These people are actually very vigilant. Not only do they distrust the officers, soldiers and civil servants, they also distrust their accomplices. These rebels are all in deep conflict with each other. Some are even old enemies. No matter how you look at it, they are all in the same group.
He was in the military camp, and his enemies came over in the middle of the night, and he was hacked to death.
As Shen Yikui put on his clothes, he scolded: "You damn boy, you know Hong Chengchou didn't hold in his fart well. I've noticed something wrong with his eyes these days. He keeps urging us to go to Willow Castle every day. Maybe there's some trap. Look this time
If I don’t fall for it, I’m going to be in trouble. They came to rob the camp all morning.”
"Master, it's bad. There are all officers and soldiers outside. It's Suiyuan's soldiers and horses who have come to kill us." Huang Decai, a member of the 100th household, ran in and shouted. This guy used to be a small boss, but now he has been recruited as a 100th household.
Shen Yikui was stunned for a moment, Suiyuan's soldiers and horses.
He suddenly understood that he had fallen into a delaying strategy. There was no hope that they would be able to report to Willow Fort. All the previous news was just to paralyze them.
They had no embankments at all. They came to rob the camp in the early morning and were probably surrounded on all sides. It was difficult to leave even if they wanted to.
"Send someone to inform my elder brother, take Laoying and rush out to meet at Nianzi Mountain. Hurry!" Shen Yikui yelled.
As soon as Shen Yikui rushed out with his soldiers, he saw a group of people. In the middle of winter, they rushed over very bravely despite the cold and with their heads bare. There was a small braid on the back of these people's heads.
"Jiannu, how could there be a slave?" Shen Yikui was dumbfounded.
Isn't this northern Shaanxi? Why did Jiannu come here from Liaodong?
Before he could react, he saw the group of people raising their bows and arrows, and a burst of arrows came out like a storm. The soldiers surrounding him were hit by arrows one after another.
The power of these bows and arrows was so great that everyone who was hit by the arrows was shot backwards.
He watched as his young boy, who was not wearing armor or wearing any clothes, was shot directly through the neck by a big arrow.
A three-foot-long arrow with a metal shovel head flew into his neck.
The head flew directly into the sky.
Then this shovel and arrow came straight to Shen Yikui's door.
Shen Yikui was so anxious that he had no time to dodge, so he instinctively raised his left arm to block it. As a result, he was hit in the elbow joint.
There was a click. The big arrow that had already killed a man did not slow down its power at all. It directly shoveled off Shen Yikui's forearm.
Because he was wearing captured Ming army armor. The cloth armor of the Ming army was on the arms, which was called centipede armor. Only the outside of the arms had tile-shaped armor pieces stacked up and down. The inner half of the arms had no armor.
Protect.
The shovel is right on the inside of the joint.
"Ah!" Shen Yikui's severed arm spurted out a mist of blood, and a burst of severe pain came. The pain made his vision go black. He screamed loudly.
