"Swish, swish, swish!" In the dark night, a series of dense sounds pierced the air immediately sounded.
When the first batch of rockets landed in the camp, there were several screams immediately. However, the hit rate of the arrows was actually not high. But the flames brought out were more effective. At this time, countless flames were burning. The camp was spread out.
Dozens of bandits who hadn't slept and were doing other things were first alerted. They got up from the woman they had raped. Some of them didn't even bother to put on their clothes and ran out of the tent. The first thing they saw was There were flames everywhere. But at this time, they did not fully understand what had happened, and thought it was a fire in the camp. So they shouted loudly: "It's on fire, it's on fire, everyone put out the fire quickly!" while trying their best to put out the fire. flame.
However, at this moment, the second round of attacks by the Muling Army also came. This time the hit rate was significantly improved. At least ten bandits fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. Although the Muling Army used the projectile method, However, the arrows falling from high altitudes are also very powerful, and most of the bandits are without helmets or armor, with no cover at all. Once they are shot, the arrow clusters will go straight into the flesh. At the same time, the people in the camp There were more flames, and there were fires on tents, vehicles, and open spaces.
Only then did the bandits realize that the matter was not as simple as a fire, so someone shouted again: "Attack, there is an enemy attack."
As a result, more and more people were awakened and ran out of the tent to see what was going on. However, this created more targets for the third wave of arrows from the Muling Army. This time, they hit the target. There were dozens of people who were hit by arrows. Most of the people in the camp were old, weak, women and children. They were immediately frightened and started crying and yelling. They ran around in the camp, trying to find a hiding place. As a result, the camp was completely destroyed. There was great chaos, and the fire was reaching the point where it was difficult to control.
The Muling Army also stopped shooting arrows. Each soldier held a lit torch and then rushed into the camp from three places. Even the longbowmen hung up their longbows and held single swords in one hand. , holding a torch in one hand, followed them in. Only a group of gunmen and the newly formed musketeers stayed outside to guard with Shang Yi.
While observing during the day, Shang Yi roughly identified the locations of several warehouses in the camp based on his experience. He also made corresponding arrangements for each group of soldiers because Shang Yi estimated that the main force of the rogue bandits from the front camp would come in soon. I don't have much time for rescue, so before setting off, I also emphasize to each team of soldiers that after entering the camp, they will focus on burning the target objects and try not to tangle with the families of the bandits as much as possible. Some unnecessary tricks.
Although Shang Yi also knows that once the food supplies are burned out, the chances of these old, weak, women and children surviving are not great, but it will always give him some psychological comfort if they do not die directly in his own hands. Perhaps people are such hypocritical animals. .
The soldiers who entered the camp, led by their respective captains, quickly moved towards their predetermined goals. Generally speaking, as long as there was no one to stop them, they would not kill them. And most of the people in the camp were old and weak. Women and children, it was too late to escape now, who dared to stop them. Therefore, the three teams found their targets very smoothly, then lit fires everywhere and started burning. After a while, the entire camp turned into a sea of fire and flames. It also took off early in the morning, illuminating the surrounding area dozens of meters away.
Shang Yi looked outside the camp and nodded. At this scale, the fire would not be extinguished for a while. It seemed that this night attack had been a perfect success. So he immediately ordered people to release the Kongming Lanterns.
, notify Yanzhou City. However, no matter whether the next strategy of flanking attacks is successful or not, the wanderers may not be able to hold on. The only difference is whether they retreat on their own initiative or are forced to retreat by the army.
At this time, all the teams that entered the camp were killed by Lu Ji. Because if they didn't fight out, they would be devoured by the fire in the camp. However, despite Shang Yi's order, try to reduce unnecessary killings as much as possible.
.However, each soldier killed more or less several people. It was not that someone deliberately blocked the Muling army, but because the camp was in chaos, and each team would encounter many people who blocked them unconsciously.
In fact, the soldiers did not want to attack the old, weak, women and children, but in order to get out of the camp as quickly as possible and avoid being buried in the flames, they had no choice but to take action and killed many people. Finally, they got out of the camp in time.
Although many of the family members of the bandits escaped, many more were still struggling in the sea of fire. The most miserable ones were the wounded soldiers, so the wounded soldiers sent to the rear camp were basically unable to move, and the consequences were devastating.
Most of them were swallowed alive by the fire.
At this time, Shang Yi saw from the GPS that a large group of people was moving towards him. It was estimated that the front camp of the rogue bandits had come back for rescue. Therefore, he immediately ordered to evacuate the battlefield so that the people in Yanzhou City could
Let’s talk about it after the large group of troops are out.
The front camp of the rogues and the back camp were only four or five miles apart. Therefore, after the fire broke out in the rear camp, it was quickly discovered by the rogue soldiers who were keeping watch in the front camp. Then it immediately spread throughout the entire army.
Because the people living in the rear camp are basically the family members of the rogue soldiers, care will lead to chaos, and the rogue bandits themselves do not have much strict military discipline, so I don’t know who took the lead and chanted the names of their family members to the rear camp.
Rushed. This was like the toppling of a domino, immediately triggering a chain effect. The rogue soldiers in the front camp immediately ran to the rear camp in groups of twos and threes, and more than half of them were gone in one go.
Ma Jinzhong did not bother to blame Chu Shu and Shi Wenjin at this time, and hurried out of the camp to stop them. But he and Ben could not stop it, because many generals' families were also in the rear camp, and they all took the lead in rushing to the rear camp.
Even Quan Bian was thinking about his mother and wife, and Wang Guoning was also thinking about his two concubines and a pair of orphans, and had already left for the rear camp.
The remaining bandits basically had no relatives. Although they did not run to the rear camp, everyone knew that most of their food, grass and supplies were stored in the rear camp. Even if the fire was extinguished,
I'm afraid there isn't much left, so how will we live in the future? The military's morale is beginning to waver.
Ma Jinzhong worked up a sweat, but got nothing. Then he glared at Chu Shu and Shi Wenjin who were following him, and said sternly: "Look at the good things you two have done. After you meet the leader, let's see how you show your respect to the leader."
The leader explained.
Chu Shu and Shi Wenjin also knew that they had caused a big disaster. They looked at each other and couldn't help but regret it too late.
Ma Jinzhong was about to scold them a few more words to relieve his anger. At this moment, he heard loud killing sounds from the direction of Yanzhou, and countless officers and soldiers came out from the darkness. Although there were still thousands of soldiers in the camp at this time, because of
At this time, the entire battalion's attention was focused on the fire in the rear camp, and the defense was essentially useless. Therefore, it was only discovered when the officers and soldiers reached the edge of the camp, but it was too late.
Ma Jinzhong only felt a "buzzing" in his head and knew that this attack on Yanzhou Prefecture had completely failed.
The distance of four to five miles was quickly reached. At this time, the camp of the rogue bandits was a sea of fire, and the fire was enough to reflect half of the sky red. Outside the camp, there were thousands of old, weak, women, and children who had escaped.
After the rogue soldiers arrived, it immediately caused a greater chaos. The rogue soldiers searched for their relatives and family members in the crowd, so everywhere they asked, "Dad, mother, where are you?" "Haru Zhi,
Are you here?" "Huzi, please promise me daddy!" and other voices. Suddenly, there were calls for father and mother, shouts and cries of people looking for wives and children.
Those who found their relatives gathered around and cried loudly. Those who did not find their relatives also cried and shouted their relatives' names. There were also many people who couldn't find their relatives in the crowd and rushed forward.
He went into the sea of fire and never came out again. Gradually, in front of the camp, there was a lot of crying.
At this time, Shang Yi led the troops and did not retreat very far. They were less than 300 meters away from the rogues' rear camp. They were just hidden in the darkness, and the rogues were only looking for their relatives, so they did not find them.
But everything that happened outside the camp was clearly seen by the soldiers of the Muling Army. Many soldiers discovered that the bandits they had always regarded as extremely vicious were actually just ordinary people like themselves.
There are also human feelings. Many soldiers even shed tears. After all, they were still farmers a few months ago, far from being able to face all deaths calmly. Many people fell into a kind of self-blame.
in my heart.
Zhou Shaohuan was standing next to Shang Yi. When he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but said: "Have we gone a little too far? Seeing them like this, I suddenly feel that we have done something wrong?"
Shang Yi patted him on the shoulder and said resolutely: "No, we were not wrong. If I could do it all over again, I would still make the same decision. What you see now is just the other side of this rogue bandit.
They are also human beings with fleshy hearts. When their loved ones die, they will also be extremely grieved. But don’t forget how they treat other people. If they capture Yanzhou City, how will they treat Yanzhou City?
People, if they attack your village, how will they treat your relatives?"
After listening to Shang Yi's words, the soldiers came out of their self-blame mentality. Although the bandits at this time were sympathizing, many soldiers felt sad when thinking about the heinous acts they had done.
He became hardened again, because many soldiers had personal experience of the harm caused by rogue bandits.
