Chapter 2071 The straw man borrows arrows
  Calculating the enemy's position by direction requires a considerable degree of mathematical ability, and Rowling's retainers are pretty good at this. During the excavation process, they would stop to listen to the sound from time to time, and then constantly correct the direction of the excavation in the process. Finally, I was convinced that the direction of my excavation was generally fine, and the deviation length should be within 1~2m. This level of deviation is completely acceptable. At such a close distance, the sound of the other party digging is already obvious. He roughly adjusted the position of his cave to be right in front of the opponent's dig. Then the intense preparations began.

The fired pipes were sent to the tunnel. At the same time, there is a blower at the other end of the pipe. In front of the blower is a combustion chamber, which burns things like mugwort and pepper that can produce pungent odors.

These materials are then quickly circulated along the pipes through the blower. Once the channels are connected, the pipe blows the gas to the other end. Compared with ordinary smoke bombs, this has an even more exaggerated stimulating effect on people.

The people who were ambushing in the tunnel had already put on gas masks made of activated carbon and glass glasses that were relatively expensive in this era.

Just like a gas mask, it can still ensure that they can see clearly in such a harsh environment.

In this way, it can basically be said to be foolproof. As the cave was about to be dug, the people on the other side of the cave immediately dug quickly with shovels and other tools. While the other side was surprised, they directly dug through the cave. At the same time, the pipe was also passed through, and a large amount of thick smoke faced the the stunned Digger spewed out.

These diggers had no weapons at all. Apart from digging tools such as hoes, they had nothing to use to fight back. They were choked by the thick smoke and couldn't open their eyes. At the same time, there were spears and muskets fired here. , there was a scream from the other side, a large number of people fell to the ground, and the people here were holding heavy shields. There is a gap in the shield, which is a gap that can spit out thick smoke. Holding such a shield, keep moving forward, and at the same time, someone sticks his head out from behind the shield and shoots outward.

While shooting, someone stretched out a spear from the gap in the shield to attack the opponent.

Under such advancement, except for some people in the last row who fled, almost all the diggers were stabbed to death in the cave.

The attackers had no intention of giving up this opportunity. Now it was night and they could rush from the cave to the enemy camp to conduct a raid.

They rushed out of the cave holding shields, and then fired muskets at the surroundings. Not many people were hit, but it brought panic to the camp. At the same time, someone threw something like a grenade. Since there are bombs in this era, they can naturally be made into grenades. Rumbling explosions sounded in the camp, and some people who were close were killed on the spot. In the chaos, it was impossible to organize the military formation. Although there were many people, they were caught off guard by the orderly raiders. The casualties were heavy.

The raid here did not intend to achieve much. The Warring States Period was just to suppress the morale outside the city. After throwing out the miserable corpses in the cave, they immediately retreated from the cave. And a tight defense has been built in the cave. The enemy can indeed attack the city through this cave, but the cave is narrow and already occupied by them. If anyone dares to attack through this cave, they will definitely pay huge casualties. And nothing will be achieved.

Because the cave is so narrow, only two people can walk side by side. As long as the defending side defends on the relatively wider side of the cave. No matter how many people come, they will all die.

Naturally, this tunnel had to be abandoned. If this tunnel is left open, people on our side may rush out of the tunnel and raid at night, in order to drive out the defenders occupying this tunnel from the tunnel. The commanders of the army besieging the city had to choose to fill the tunnel with water. In this way, they would drive away the opponents and then bury the tunnel. In this way, although they could no longer use this tunnel, they did not have to worry about their enemies using this tunnel to attack. By myself.

After Luo Lin saw the low morale of the enemies attacking outside the city, he was relieved. His plan had finally succeeded in the first step. The first thing is to make your opponent lower yourself, so that you can achieve sufficient results in the raid.

If the opponent is too high, you can kill him. It wouldn't make any sense either.

After all, there are few people on our side, and the number of cavalry is only 20% of the opponent's. In a real frontal field battle, the effect is very poor. The best way is to make a surprise attack at night to capture the thief first.

However, it is best to paralyze the opponent first and then make a sneak attack after being alert. Otherwise, the effect of the sneak attack will definitely not be good, and maybe the most elite group of people in the city will be killed in the sneak attack.

Just when Luo Lin was worrying about how to make the enemy relax their vigilance, his men. In other words, one of the advisers gave him a suggestion.

"My Lord, you can organize an elite team to harass the enemy first and show our ability to attack at night."

Hearing this, Luo Lin immediately shook her head: "What we have to do is to capture the thief first. We must capture it all at once. How can we let the other party know that we have the ability to attack at night? Isn't this just a warning?"

"The main attack is enough. Even if we don't go to the banquet, the other side will be on guard. After all, night attacks don't seem to be such a novel method now. After we attack them once, the other side will subconsciously think that if there is something going on at night The restlessness is the night raids we launch, but we don't actually need to send people out every night. The darkness of the night can't illuminate much of the surrounding things. They only need to hear our drums and hear our shouts If you hear the sound, you will think that someone is coming down from the city wall to attack us.

They will definitely fight back then. And we don’t necessarily need real people, we just need to put down the scarecrows from the bedside one by one, and then take these scarecrows back before dawn.

It just so happens that these scarecrows can be borrowed for their arrows, although most of our troops use muskets. But there are still people who can shoot arrows. We don't elect these people to make up our military. It's not that archers are inferior to muskets. But archers are too difficult to train and bows are extremely expensive. Compared to lead bullets, bows and arrows are much more expensive. But if we have enough bows and arrows, they will still be of great use to us in defending the city. "

Luo Lin nodded when he heard this. This strategy was good: "In this way, we can use the scarecrow to borrow arrows, but your plan should not stop there." Luo Lin had already roughly guessed it, and her adviser wanted to Something to do. I suddenly felt that this idea was quite good.

"Yes, of course my plan doesn't stop there. We can use these straw men to borrow arrows, but sooner or later they will find out that our sneak attack at night is just some straw men. After they find out, we will continue to use them with great fanfare. The scarecrow launches a night attack. By then, even if we play drums in the city, no matter how lively the city is, they probably won’t come to see it. Our scarecrows have borrowed so many bows and arrows before. And because we beat the drums at night, As a result, they thought there would be a sneak attack and couldn't sleep peacefully. They would definitely think we were bluffing, and then we would actually send people out to attack. How could they be adequately prepared?"

Luo Lin immediately clapped her hands and laughed when she heard this: "What a brilliant idea! Just do what you said. I will ask the old and young in the city to make scarecrows. Tomorrow night, I will send a group of people to make a sneak attack outside the city. I will definitely call them at night No peaceful sleep.”

Just like they planned. That night someone opened the city gate. A night attack was carried out. It was so dark at night that it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy during the battle. Therefore, the results of this night attack were not particularly ideal. Although relying on the relatively more reasonable military system, it has gained a small advantage and has a slight advantage in exchanging pens. But overall it's still not enough. The opponent's number exceeds his own by three times. And if your exchange ratio is less than 1.5, you can't win even if you kill all your people.

Therefore, the publicity on both sides was that they had a huge advantage in the previous night seats.

The publicity in the city was that he had won a great victory and killed many of the opponent's generals. The propaganda outside the city was that it had resisted the opponent's sneak attack and wiped out all the attacking troops.

Both sides were bragging, but it didn't matter to Luo Lin in the city. He had never considered what effect the previous night attack could achieve. The most is to let your soldiers get familiar with it and fight at night.

After that, he beat the drum every night and made a gesture of sneak attack, so that every day there would be a large number of feather arrows stuck under the city wall, and the scarecrows they put down were also full of arrows, and they were temporarily in the city. Find those who have participated in military training and learned how to use a bow. Let them use it to further increase the intensity of city defense.

At the same time, the city is not completely surrounded. On the other side, the city can still go out. Therefore, you can collect materials and make some temporary crossbows. Although the effect of these materials that have not been processed for a long time is worse than those used in the army, these bows and arrows are free anyway, and you will not feel bad if they are consumed.

The party attacking the city these days is actually quite anxious. They can indeed occupy a certain degree of advantage during the attack. Kill some soldiers on the wall. But the efficiency is too slow, and the city cannot be conquered in a short time. And if they get support from people on the other side, or if they reach an agreement with them, it will be completely impossible for them to capture it.

And if you're stuck on a long vacation for too long, it's not just food and grass that may run out. If discovered by other forces, they would probably be completely annihilated here.

But if he can't even occupy a transportation hub, then just rely on his few people. It is impossible to compete with those big families on the plains.

Just when the commander was in a bad mood, an officer hurried into the camp. I saw that the officer was holding a scarecrow in his hand, with many bows and arrows stuck on the scarecrow.

"Sir, those people in the city didn't really come out to attack us at all. They just put down scarecrows from the beds to make us think they were preparing to attack. In fact, they were using these scarecrows to steal our bows and arrows."

The commander almost vomited blood when he saw this scene. He couldn't sleep peacefully all night these days. He had to beware of sneak attacks by people in the city. But he didn't expect that the other party would just use such a straw man to deceive him. If you think about it this way, people in the city come to recharge their batteries these days. However, his own army had to fight exhaustedly under this sneak attack. No wonder it can't be conquered these days.

"Order not to carry out sneak attacks on the city. These cunning rats only use conspiracy and tricks. Except for the patrolling soldiers at night, the rest of the soldiers sleep on time, adjust their state, and continue to attack the city tomorrow!"

His soldiers were harassed throughout the night. Now he is extremely tired. If he doesn't take a good rest, he will be in bad shape if the other party goes out to fight in the city. I'm afraid the loss will be huge. Even if the city can be taken, how can it be defended if the troops on hand are not enough?
  After the soldiers got the news that they could sleep normally tonight, they were all relieved. I haven't slept well these days. I really can fall asleep lying on the ground.

After falling asleep one by one, they were almost unaware of anything in the outside world. No idea what they might face next. The drum beat from the city was heard again, but this time no one responded. He just thought it was the people in the city and was bluffing. No one was seen attacking him for a while, and it was finally confirmed that the people in the city were at their wits end.

Even the patrolling soldiers relaxed their vigilance, but they never thought that the real attack would begin after they relaxed their vigilance.

After beating gongs and drums for a while, I found that no one paid any attention to me. The people on the city climbed down from the top of the city silently. This time the drums were not beaten at all, no sound was made.

Then, as they had practiced countless times in the city, they gathered under the city and formed a neat formation. After confirming the direction of the enemy, they headed in that direction. Launched his own charge.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the enemy camp were asleep. They didn't even hear the uniform footsteps. The patrol soldiers who were still awake were all dozing off. After hearing the heavy classical music, they thought that the other party was going to disturb their sleep again, but when they saw a dense crowd of people rushing towards them. Then he screamed as loudly as he could: "Enemy attack!"

But where can we get it at this time?
