Chapter 165 Primitive Weapons Against Modern Weapons
The right time is not as good as the right place. If you want to outnumber the many and defeat the strong with the weak, you must use other factors, and the right place is the easiest thing Liu Zhenming can use.
He carefully arranged for a month and set up three lines of defense from Vancouver to Chinatown. Now, the first line of defense is here.
When the British army first arrived in Canada, they were well-organized and their morale was high. At that time, it was forbidden to fight with them, so Liu Zhenming only defended Vancouver for two days before making an emergency retreat.
The best strategy is to pass through these layers of dangers, slowly cut through them, disperse their forces, constantly vent their morale, and form superior forces locally.
The first line of defense is a dangerous place. This is definitely the best place for military strategists as mentioned in Chinese military books. Even if Han Xin and Zhuge Liang saw this terrain, they would retreat three miles and then send out a large number of spies to see if there was any enemy ambush.
But seeing that the terrain is dangerous, with towering mountains, sharp peaks, and snow-capped peaks, looking up, the mountains are abrupt and piercing the blue sky; going down, they are like gouges and pits, as if a god has struck them with a knife, forming a hole in the middle.
A rift valley was opened, which was just passable.
A few days ago, Ye Geyin led a battalion of soldiers and, with the help of ordinary Chinese, piled up a lot of rocks and trees on both sides of the rift valley.
In the slightly flatter areas of the commanding heights on both sides, 12 Gruson 57 rapid-fire guns were covered with branches, dry wood and snow, plus 18 mortars from the 1st and 3rd Battalions. It can be said that the battle lasted for so long.
This is the largest use of cannons in history.
In addition, there are other traps, otherwise it would take a month to set them up.
Liu Zhenming had already crouched on the mountain peak and looked down. The most common military training conducted by the Chinese Self-Rescue Army was marching. If he had not deliberately lured the enemy into a trap, the British army would have been thrown away and disappeared.
He let three hundred soldiers continue to lure the enemy, and personally led the others to join the ambush team.
The three hundred soldiers who lured the enemy were at a distance from the British army. When they were almost reaching the Rift Valley, their whereabouts were exposed to the British army.
Following Steve's order, the British troops were like tigers descending the mountain. They were all snarling and chasing the soldiers of the Self-Rescue Army. There were no longer any scouts, and there was no longer anything to worry about.
All kinds of false news have led them to believe that the Chinese Self-Rescue Army only has about 300 people, and they are 300 people who have thrown away countless guns.
"Don't let them get away!"
"Hurry up, catch up!"
"Today is the day the yellow race dies!"
The sound of shouting, killing and charging was endless. The British soldiers were like a cat that finally found a mouse, so excited that it forgot everything.
After the three hundred soldiers who lured the enemy entered the rift valley, they showed more panic at the right time. Some soldiers took off their thick coats and threw them on the ground, some soldiers threw away the only weapons in their hands, and some even threw their
I lost all my shoes and left them on the snowy road.
"Haha, you see, those yellow men have completely collapsed and taken off all their clothes. They are running on the snow with bare shoulders. Even if they escape our pursuit, they will freeze to death at night."
"It's much better to freeze to death than to be fucked to death by us."
"Kill them, kill them. These yellow-skinned pigs can only run away and attack sneakily."
…
Three thousand British soldiers formed a long snake formation and entered the rift valley in pursuit. Steve saw that the army had been disorganized. Although there was a little haze in his heart, it was not over yet.
Realizing that his army has entered Death Valley.
The British soldiers who entered the Rift Valley were immediately blinded by the golden things on the ground.
"Gold, it's gold. There was gold in the pockets of his clothes. Those Chinese who escaped threw away the gold!"
“I didn’t expect these yellow people to be so greedy for money that they took all the gold they got from robbery with them.”….
"Don't grab it, that's what I found first."
"It's mine, it's mine!"
…
While the British soldiers were despising the greed of the Chinese, they kept picking up the gold on the ground and pouring it into their clothes.
Money moves people's hearts. Don't think that these soldiers are so noble. After they grabbed it, they didn't turn it over. After the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China and captured the capital, soldiers from various ** units looted and looted. Every soldier robbed riches.
If the descendants of robbers in later generations occasionally take out one or two robbed treasures, they can fetch sky-high prices internationally.
The desire of the British soldiers for revenge had been completely eclipsed by the huge pieces of gold one after another, which immediately caused a riot. Who was still in the mood to chase the enemy? The soldiers behind heard that the soldiers in front had picked up the gold, and they were in great mood.
It was even more urgent, and it was almost like people stepped on others and rushed forward.
After a while, all the British troops in the Rift Valley were in a mess. They were already crazy for gold. They didn't think about why the Chinese Self-Relief Army had so much gold, and they didn't think about why they wanted all the gold.
Throwing it here, they only have one idea, and that is to stuff the gold into their own pockets.
The crazier they were, the happier Liu Zhenming laughed. On both sides of the rift valley, all the ambushed soldiers looked happily at the rift valley below, admiring Liu Zhenming in their hearts.
"You must remember this lesson in the future, don't be blinded by greed." Liu Zhenming glanced at the people around him, saw the excitement in their hearts, and raised his hand after giving a warning
Come, and then draw hard: "Attack!"
Toot toot…
Immediately, the trumpeter, who had already put the horn to his mouth, mustered up all his strength and blew out a long attack trumpet sound that caused the snow on the high branches to fall.
The long sound of the trumpet made the British soldiers in the rift valley raise their heads and look around in fear.
The sound of the trumpet? The sound of the trumpet coming from there seems to come from above. Who blew the trumpet? What happened? Is there someone ambushing above? These questions are all in the minds of the foreign soldiers.
And on the mountain peak! Under the call of the trumpet, life suddenly came back to life from the dead silence.
When the artilleryman lying on the ground heard the sound of the trumpet, he quickly got up and suddenly took off the camouflage on the cannon.
When the infantrymen standing next to the rocks and trees heard the sound of the trumpet, they began to use all their strength to push down the huge rocks and trees.
The infantrymen using mortars began to stuff shells into the barrels.
Wow…
In the horrified eyes of all the British soldiers, there was a thunderous roar from the peaks on both sides, and countless boulders and trees suddenly rolled down. All the cliffs and trees in front of them were crushed.
, leaving a bare patch.
"Run!" The British soldiers no longer cared about snatching the gold. Instead, they cried for their fathers and began to run wildly to both sides of the rift valley. However, no matter how fast a person was, they were not as fast as the rocks and trees rolling down.
ah.
A huge boulder fell from the sky and landed among the crowd. It rolled a few times in the rift valley. The people it rolled over were rolled out like dough, and they were rolled into meat patties. Those who were touched by it,
It means losing limbs and missing legs.
Subsequently, countless stones and wood were smashed down. Although it was not like a cannon that killed a bunch of people at once, the tragedy was even more shocking, and the screams resounded throughout the rift valley.
Those British soldiers who are about to run to the entrance and exit of the Rift Valley don't need to be lucky, because there are other things to deal with them.
The 12 Gruson cannons roared in waves, and their impact points were the front and rear entrances of the rift valley. There, Liu Zhenming learned from the Indians and dug two even wider pits.
They are specially designed to trap people. Of course, these huge pits are covered with strong branches. Even if a horse passes over them, there is no possibility of them collapsing. However, if they are bombarded with cannons, they will be completely destroyed.
It’s different.
Boom, boom, after a loud noise, the branches and other objects covering the two large pits fell in, revealing a deep and wide pit. Several British soldiers who were running on it had just time to lie down to avoid the shells.
However, these branches fell into the pit. Inside the pit were sharp thorns. As soon as a person fell into it, he would be pierced through.
Confused, Steve, who had not yet entered the rift, was completely confused!
