Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 368
"Vine Armored Soldiers, go to battle!"

After returning to the main hall of the Chinese Army, Fu Chai drew out a broad sword from his waist and shouted loudly.

I saw that in the phalanx of the Nanman army, a large group of soldiers wearing rattan armor suddenly came out in darkness.

They are wearing rattan armor, shoulder pads, wrist guards, helmets, and even shields are all made of rattan.

The scale of this rattan armored soldier is small, only about a thousand people.

Fujika soldier?
Looking at the rattan armored soldiers in front of him, Qingji couldn't help showing doubts.

"kill!"

Fu Chai gave an order, and the fully armed rattan armored soldiers rushed towards Wu Jun's phalanx.

It seems that this is an elite soldier, because they are all holding spears in their hands, and they are not rusty, quite sharp spears!
"Fire arrows!"

After the rattan armored soldiers entered the range of the bow and arrow, Sun Wu, the former general of the army, immediately gave the order to release the arrow.

The archers who had already drawn their bows and set their arrows immediately relaxed their bowstrings and shot out sharp arrows one after another.

The rain of arrows fell from the sky all over the sky, and they "swished" straight to the rattan armored soldiers.

It's like locusts passing through the country.

It's a pity that the expected large number of casualties did not appear!

I saw that the chaotic arrows shot on the rattan armor and rattan shield, lost their original power, and fell down.

Not to mention ordinary arrows, even crossbow arrows cannot penetrate this kind of rattan armor.

Unless you use a powerful bed crossbow!

However, Wu Jun is not equipped with bed crossbows for the time being.

After all, Qingji didn't expect a war when he went on tour.

"rush!"

"Kill!"

The morale of the rattan armored soldiers was greatly boosted, and they all rushed towards the Wu army's phalanx clamoring.

They were like a group of tigers and wolves, making howls or howling beasts, like a group of demons dancing wildly for a while!
"Shield Formation! Go!"

Seeing that even the crossbow arrows could not penetrate the enemy's rattan armor, in desperation, Sun Wu could only issue orders, asking the shield hand to raise a giant shield to form the first line of defense.

"kill!"

Fucha then gave the order to attack.

At this time, the rattan armor soldiers had been blocked from the shield formation, but the rattan armor on them was still indestructible.

Arrows, spears, or sharp swords can't effectively kill them.

Unless it can blind its eyes, it cannot be injured at all without the protection of rattan armor!
"Withdraw! Withdraw troops!"

Qingji then gave the order to retreat.

If this [-]-man rattan armored soldier cannot be dealt with, it will be difficult for the Wu army to achieve any results!

Rather than increasing casualties in vain, it is better to rely on the city to defend!

Under Qingji's order, thousands of soldiers of the Wu army hurriedly retreated into Juwu City like a tide.

Even if the Nanman army wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the city, they were stopped by the shields of the Wu army and the rain of arrows all over the sky.

Rattan armored soldiers can block the penetration of arrows, but those southern barbarians who don't even have armor, but only wear animal clothes, or simply bare their upper body, can't!
A shower of arrows shot out, immediately felling a large area of ​​Nanmanzi, just like cutting leeks.

In the end, Fu Chai could only watch helplessly as Wu Jun retreated to Juwu City after dropping dozens of corpses, and then the thick city gate was closed tightly.

"hateful!"

Fu Chai clenched his fists unwillingly, and glared angrily at the city wall without words.

Baiyue people are savages who drink blood and live in a primitive society. There are not many craftsmen and their civilization is quite backward.

Therefore, Fucha couldn't even find the most basic siege equipment, and it was difficult to build it in a short time!
Even if Juwucheng is not a decent fortified city, he can only look at it and sigh!
……

After Qingji returned to the government office in Juwucheng, he summoned all the generals to discuss matters.

The censor Sun Wu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the rattan armor of the southern barbarian army's rattan armor is too strong. Whether it's arrows or spears, it's impenetrable."

"With this rattan armor soldier, although there are thousands of people, our Wu army is hard to beat!"

All the generals couldn't help nodding slightly when they heard the words, expressing their agreement.

Whether fighting alone or in large groups, Wu Jun was not afraid of these southern barbarians at all.

It's just that the other party seems to have a lot of weird methods, so it's hard to deal with!
However, as a time traveler and well-versed in history, how could Qingji not know how to deal with the Rattan Armored Soldiers?
It is said that the rattan armor is made of wild vines grown in the barren land in the southwest. It is processed by skilled craftsmen to make rattan armor, and it is soaked in tung oil for seven to forty-nine days before it is made.

This armor is light and strong, good at defending against arrows, impenetrable with knives, slashes and spears, unsinkable in water, and invincible on the battlefield.

Later, when Zhuge Kongming marched south, he used the strategy of attacking with fire to burn Panshe Valley and smashed the Tengjia army.

Qingji was able to use the strategy of attacking with fire to deal with the rattan armored soldiers of the Southern Manzi.

"Second and third son, as far as I know, the rattan armor is made of ivy that grows in the local forest. It is very strong. It is difficult to pierce it with a sword or arrow."

"Because wild animals such as tigers and leopards often appear in the harsh mountain and forest environment, the rattan armor worn by the Nanyue people can just protect themselves, and it is also very safe when ambushing wild animals."

"That's why they all wear rattan armor when hunting."

Qingji changed the subject, and said again: "Of course, rattan armor is not unsolvable!"

"Second and third sons think, what are the things of vines and trees to be afraid of?"

All the generals pondered for a while, Sun Wu's eyes lit up first, and he replied: "Your Majesty, I know this. There is nothing more afraid of vines and trees than fire!"

"good!"

"Well, why did my Wu army attack the rattan armored soldiers with fire?"

This is a very important question.

Juwu this place is surrounded by mountains on two sides, water on one side, and a flat wilderness on the other. It does not have the geographical conditions of Pan Snake Valley when Zhuge Villager burned Tengjiabing in the Three Kingdoms period.

Moreover, it is mid-February, and the weather in Kuaiji County is not dry.

I'm afraid it's hard to start a fire!
The right time and place are indispensable!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help thinking secretly.

"Father..."

At this time, Young Master Hong, who had been sitting not far away and listening, suddenly called out submissively.

"Wu Hong, what's the matter?"

Qingji couldn't help frowning.

He asked his two sons, Wu Hong and Wu Xi, to sit in on the hearing, but how could they participate in military issues, they were just mere children?

Qingji only thought that Wu Hong had other matters.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hong lowered his head, and said in a slow voice: "Father, my son is thinking about it, if you attack with fire, you can't do it. There should be another weakness in the rattan armor."

"What's the weakness?"

Qingji asked curiously.

"Since rattan armored soldiers are not afraid of spears and arrows, but not sharp weapons, why don't my father use blunt weapons to break them? A giant ax and hammer should be able to seriously injure rattan armored soldiers!"

"..."

Qingji was stunned for a moment.

"color!"

Sun Wu and Fan Li clapped their hands first, looked at Wu Hong approvingly, and said, "Young Master is a great talent! Even though he is young, he is very intelligent, I can't wait!"
