The rise of the prince

Chapter 280 Dangerous
The sun was setting, the light was dim, and the sky was gradually dimming. The area of ​​the camp on the ground was almost half the size of Luzhou City, criss-crossing and orderly. The fires in the camp were shining all over the sky, and the smoke rose to the sky. Everything seemed peaceful and quiet.

But the danger is near.

What is the Master of Tiger and Wolf?

People often like to use numbers to compare the strength of the two sides, how many soldiers and horses you have, how many generals I have, but the results often show that numbers can only be used for deterrence, how can people be predicted by a bunch of numbers.

If you look at the history of human war, you will find that it is very strange, chaotic and disorderly, and it is difficult to find solid and reliable objective laws. The more fateful turning point is, the more critical the war is, the result is often more confusing and unexpected. .

At the beginning, Darius of Persia had an army of 10,000+, known as 60, and he was full of confidence. Alexander only had [-] to [-]. As a result, Darius, who was full of confidence, was beaten to nothing.

In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's army was 10,000+, full of confidence. According to the official history "Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao's troops were only a few thousand at the beginning of the Battle of Guandu. As a result, Yuan Shao, who was full of confidence, was beaten back to his hometown and died in depression. The most powerful at that time One side of the princes has since declined.

When he arrived in Chibi, Cao Cao was full of confidence. 20 troops marched south, and the Sun Liu Alliance trembled. As a result, Cao Cao, who was full of confidence, was defeated by Zhou Yu and left Huarong. He had no chance to unify China throughout his life.

In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was full of confidence with an army of 10,000+, and wanted to fight Soochow to the death. As a result, Liu Bei, who was full of confidence, was beaten to Gu Baidi City by the young Lu Xun, and died in hatred.

In the Tang Dynasty, Tongtian and Tiansheng East Turkic Jieli Khan had hundreds of thousands of people under Wang Tingya's tent, but they were chased away by two hundred cavalry from Su Dingfang, and they were killed. When most of the Tang army's rear arrived, almost 10,000 were captured without bloodshed. + Men and women, 10,000+ livestock.

And the Liao Dynasty, which claimed to have millions of armors and soldiers all over the place, had an army of 70, and was defeated by Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu with 2 people.

Human warfare is so chaotic and unpredictable, it is difficult to find out objective laws, or a magic weapon for victory, so it is so risky and so bloody.

Sometimes I can't help but think that there is an upper limit to human muscle strength, no matter how powerful it is, the gap between individuals cannot be so large, 200 people chasing 10,000+ fights, 2 people beat 70!It's just dreamlike and unreal.
In fact, this is more true. Human beings are complex and chaotic creatures, so the results of chaos and unexpected situations are more in line with human laws.

In many cases, human beings do not decide the outcome by force.

For example, the strength and collapse of the Soviet Union, how strong was the Soviet army? 350 million troops are on display, and the nuclear arsenal can blow up the whole world, including aircraft, tanks, surface warships, underwater submarines, space stations, space shuttles, and orbiting satellites.
The Soviet Union was almost so powerful that people did not dare to think about how to defeat it by force, but in the blink of an eye, it was gone.Just like the Han and Tang dynasties at the beginning, when people didn't dare to think about how to defeat it, it was destroyed instantly.

This is human beings, complex, chaotic and fragile human beings.

Human beings are not gods, not omniscient, nor omnipotent, but everyone is thinking and conscious. Thinking produces differences, differences lead to collisions, and collisions sputter sparks. This is how people's hearts are complicated.

It is also because of this that human beings try to establish order in chaos and disorder, and then they are defeated again and again, repeating and making progress.

People's hearts decide the outcome.

What is the teacher of tiger and wolf?
A group of hungry people is a hungry wolf, and a group of people fighting for survival is a tiger!

Survival and reproduction are the innate instincts of human beings.

What's the easiest part of surviving?It is to eat, take in energy, and keep the body running.

The reason why wild beasts are called wild beasts is different from humans, because they live by instinct, eat when they are hungry, mate when they are young, and fight back when threatened. Fear, timidity, fetters, and longing hardly affect them.

Humans are also creatures, when they are driven only by instinct, they are the most terrifying beasts in the world!More terrifying than wolves and tigers.

Li Xingzhou didn't know why the people in the rebel camp didn't notice their arrival earlier, because he found the sentry post guarded by the opponent's scouts in the forest, and the nearest post was only about [-] miles away from Luzhou City, and the Shenji Camp He also shot and killed a few scouts who didn't have time to escape.

He was ready to blast open the gate of the camp with artillery, but the rebels were unexpectedly unprepared, and the main gate of the camp facing north was still open.

No matter what, he was prepared, and Lin Zhongxiang's army began to beat the drums.

Under the leadership of many Xiang Army sergeants, hungry people poured out like a tide, not only the tens of thousands of Guanyin Temple, but also the brave people from all directions in Luzhou who heard the news. He didn't know how many there were, but they were definitely bigger than the rebels. many.

When the drums sounded, the crowd rushed out of the woods roaring like a wave, and rushed towards the rebel camp. The Shenji Battalion beside Li Xingzhou also opened fire at the same time. 300 people fired in turn. The target was the main entrance of the camp, the high ground where it was located. It is a full mile away from the sentry tower at the main gate in front of the camp.

The range of firearms is limited, and the effective range of modern rifles is about 400 meters, but the effective range does not mean that the gun can only be shot so far. In many cases, the distance of firefighting is far greater than 400 meters. The actual rifle bullets can easily hit a distance of 4000 meters. It's just that after more than 400 meters, the accuracy drops, the shooting position cannot be controlled, and the power of the bullet begins to decay.

The same is true for Suifa guns. If you want the Shenji battalion to hit concentrated hits, it must be within 200 meters. This distance is far beyond the range of a bow and crossbow. The sentry at the door had no time to close the door.

Bullets whistling in the dusk night, 300 people took turns shooting uninterruptedly, and the whole mountain was full of ear-piercing explosions.

In the distance, with the rebel camp as the center, stone chips were flying in a large area around, and the stakes were bursting. Four terrified guards were brought down before they understood what was going on. on the ground.

The rebels near the gate of the camp were terrified. They didn't know what happened. Those who were still eating dropped their bowls and chopsticks and looked at the gate in horror.

Hearing the unidentified thunder-like sound in the mountain again, they were terrified. Several people fled back in panic, while the Shenji Camp was still shooting. They couldn't see the bullets flying at the speed of sound. They only knew that someone fell down like a ghost. That fear was more galling than death.

A flood of people outside the camp had taken advantage of this opportunity to rush in instantly. The Shenji Battalion stopped shooting to prevent accidental injury, and the entire northern outpost of the camp was in chaos.

The black crowd kept pouring in, roaring like wild beasts and flocking in all directions. For them, the smell of rice and meat in the camp was like a fatal temptation.

Looking down from the high ground on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the situation in the entire camp.

The rebels near the main gate were caught off guard and collapsed at the first touch. Many fled backwards, and some climbed over the fence but forgot to refuse horses outside the camp gate.

More people were coerced by the black crowd, and then drowned, some were beaten to death, and some were trampled to death.

Several spearmen standing guard reacted and stabbed people to death, but the people of Luzhou were like wild beasts who did not fear death.

When the rebels in the middle camp heard the commotion and shouts of killing, they hastily assembled hundreds of people and laid them in the middle of the camp, but they collapsed after a while, because the people came from all directions, hundreds of times their size, and quickly surrounded and hacked them to death. .

Seeing this tragic situation, the remaining rebels in the middle camp did not dare to resist at all, and fled to the south of the camp without their helmets and armor.

Fleeing in front, the rebels who had just assembled in the rear battalion didn't know what happened. They just saw the front army crying and fleeing, their heads were bleeding, and they thought they were defeated, and they didn't know what the enemy was.Seeing the front army crying and crying in fear, they immediately became frightened. The rear army, which was several times larger than the front army, rioted for a while, then threw away their helmets and armor and ran away without fighting.
