Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 59

Chapter 60

Two days after the truce, early in the morning, the enemy troops were on the move again. This time they made a shield more than 20 meters wide out of fine logs to block the shots from the arrows in the front. The log fence, the shield is advanced a few steps, and the subsequent fence is erected a few meters forward. The wooden fence is covered with a log top to form a strong corridor, and it has been advanced fifty steps in one morning.It seems that they have turned the rush of success into a new tactic of steady and steady.

This kind of tunnel-like method of advancing is unheard of. The bed crossbow can't penetrate at all, and it can't be set on fire. The bark of the tree trunks is peeled off in advance. The bare trunks inside are too moist and difficult to ignite. Although I tried to set fire a few times And every success.As the enemy changes, one's own side also changes accordingly, but how to change, and what moves can be used to break through?

As for how to crack the enemy's tactics, although the tree trunks made into fences are thin, they are too thick for crossbow arrows, and cannot effectively cause harm to the people inside from the outside.Cutting with knives and axes has no effect. If you want to get close to it, you will be easily hurt by the arrows shot by the enemies inside.

According to the speed of the enemy army, it can advance more than 100 meters in a day, and it can pass through the trench in a few days. The width of the inside can run with seven or eight horses side by side, and [-] people can pass in half an hour.

Since there is no good way to prevent them from building the tunnel, then set the direction of the bed crossbow to besiege and prevent them from coming out.No matter how far you can build the corridor, it is useless.Everyone was trying to find a way to crack it, and Jin Yang also made a model of a passage with thin branches, trying to find out the flaws in the passage.He saw that his tunnel was like a shrimp cage, and the enemy soldiers inside were the shrimps hidden inside.

When Liu Tao was taken away, under the pressure of various parties, she ruthlessly burned all those fish cages and shrimp cages. Although Jin Yang didn't see how it was burned, he can imagine the scene It is the smoke that passes through the mesh first.Today, treat this enemy's tunnel as a super-sized shrimp cage and smoke it.

"Hahahaha, Fu Shuai, I don't know what will happen if you try this method?" Jin Yang asked Jin Ying with a smile.

After hearing his suggestion, Jin Ying was also a little moved: "Then give it a try, and if it doesn't work, think of another way."

Their idea is to collect a lot of half-wet and half-dry firewood branches, and watch the wind direction. Large piles of firewood gathered in the upwind of the corridor are lit, so that the poisonous smoke can penetrate the corridor, smoke the people inside, and force them to stop. Work.

They saw that it was a moderate northeasterly wind, so they lit firewood and thick smoke from the east side of the corridor where the bows and arrows could not reach. A large amount of smoke began to float over, and the corridor was shrouded in smoke, and the smoke continued to flow through the gaps. Entering the corridor, immediately, a lot of coughing sounds came from the corridor.The firewood was also mixed with wolf dung, mountain pepper, wool felt and other things that smell bad when burned by the sergeants. It would be difficult to resist without a modern gas mask.In order to fear that the enemy troops behind would come to put out the fire, Jin Ying and Jin Yang mobilized their bed crossbows to aim at the direction where the enemy troops might appear.

Sure enough, the enemy soldiers in the corridor were so exhausted that they had difficulty breathing and were dizzy. They scrambled to exit from the rear entrance of the corridor.Golden Eagle saw the opportunity from the top of the city, and ordered the officers and soldiers to remove the burning firewood outside the front corridor, leaving a gap for the vanguard officer Xu Yanzhi to lead his men to destroy the corridor, and let the burning firewood pile spread northward.At first they transported back the logs from the damaged tunnel, but later they simply piled them up in the tunnel, added dry wood and grease and set them on fire.

Because the wood is relatively damp, it burns slowly at first, but then the flames quickly grow in size, and the effect of a large fire without wet wood appears, turning the corridor into a fire dragon flying through the clouds and fog.Soon, the corridor was burned to pieces.

After the truce, Jin Yang and Jin Yang discussed: "Fu Shuai, the soldiers have been fighting bloody battles for the past few days. If they don't attack, let's rest for two days, shall we?"

"Of course, as long as you don't relax the surveillance of the enemy army, will you not move if the enemy doesn't move!"

On the first day the enemy did not move, but on the second night there was a mild northerly wind. In the first half of the night, Jin Li stayed up in preparation for the enemy's sneak attack. He had just slept by the wall of the horse bandit village in the middle of the night when Ma Jinqiang suddenly came over and shouted: " Military division, military division, look quickly, what is that?" Jin Yan lifted the clothes covering his body and got up immediately, looking north.

Several bright spots rose slowly from the edge of the enemy camp, and the follow-up ones were still lifted off in large numbers, and drifted here with the breeze.A name popped up in Jin Yang's mind: Kongming Lantern!
At this time, another loud roar came from the direction of the Kongming Lantern. It didn't sound like a human or a large animal, but it sounded like a god's angry roar, which made people's scalp numb.The soldiers on the horse bandit village all yelled in horror, and some were scurrying around like headless flies in fright.Jin Yan understood that these soldiers were not afraid of fighting with real swords and guns, but were afraid of mysterious phenomena without knowing it. It seemed that there were experts in the enemy army who wanted to use this method to intimidate our soldiers. Let the soldiers fight without chaos.

At this time, the Golden Eagle also came over, and tremblingly said to Jin Li: "Military Master, what kind of monster is this screaming? What kind of magic are these big fireballs? They won't suddenly fall on top of our heads. It's because we killed too much and offended us." Have you found the gods here?"

Even Fu Shuai was so frightened, the others can imagine, those Kongming lanterns have already floated half way from the direction of the enemy camp, and it was too late to explain one by one, Jin Li could only say loudly: "Everyone, don't panic! , Those are all thin paper lanterns, although they can float over with the wind, but they have no lethality to us. The sound is also made by the Conch or the Horn. It is because the enemy is at the end of their skills, and they use these things to play tricks. If you don’t believe me, watch it, the lantern will float over our heads in a short while, and the horn will stop. As long as everyone stays calm, the enemy will not act rashly.

After shouting here, the soldiers in the horse bandit village became quiet, but the soldiers in the distant pass began to make noise.Jin Li quickly ran past the megaphone, and explained the same thing twice to the megaphone.Our side has quieted down, and the enemy has not moved.However, Jin Li knew that if there was chaos on his own side just now, the enemy who could not be seen in the distance would take advantage of the chaos and charge forward, and the consequences could be imagined.But I don't know what will happen if the eldest prince's side encounters the same situation. I hope that the enemy army is not acting on both sides at the same time. They have to send someone to notify them after dawn.

Later, I found out that the enemy army planned to implement the same trick that night, but when they were about to release the Kongming lanterns, there was a very small southerly wind, which prevented their Kongming lanterns from being placed on the Daqian army's side. The good rush was also aborted.

"Ten miles are different, the sky is different, and the customs are different in a hundred miles" has a certain truth, and there is also a truth to the saying "the right way helps more than the wrong way".

　If there is no delay today, there will be two more chapters, and the next chapter will be later.
