Sweep the World

It was the darkest moment of the day before dawn, but today the water vapor is more serious than usual. The thick fog that swept from the north drifted across the surface of the Yellow River and slowly intruded to the south bank of the Yellow River, covering the entire land. In the fog.

Under the foggy night, even if two people are holding torches, they can only see blurry light and shadow at a distance of four or five meters. Such an environment allowed the Han army to stop bombarding the fortifications of Jincheng for the first time, and it was a rare silence on the battlefield.

The Han army is the invading party, and has limited knowledge of the climate around Jincheng. When and what kind of weather it will be basically guessed based on limited judgments.

Suddenly encountering dense fog, Xie An was awakened in his sleep, learning what was happening, immediately ordered: "Strengthen alert."

The generals at all levels were quickly brought to the Central Army's account. Everyone's face was half-awake, while a few people were full of eagerness.

"The fog is so dense that I can't see my fingers." Yuan Qiao stretched out his hand as he said, looking at Xie An with a pensive expression, and said: "The enemy may come back to touch the camp."

The main commander of the Jincheng garrison is the locals. The weather has changed a lot in recent years, but the locals are definitely the most familiar with the local climate. When the two armies are at war, the defenders themselves have a good place, and their knowledge of the weather will also take up the sky. As long as they know how to use them, they will inevitably take a lot of advantage.

"Hmm!" Xie An affirmed Yuan Qiao's words: "It's no accident, the enemy has already touched it outside the camp."

In fact, the Han army already had its own actions. At the same time as they strengthened their guard, the crossbowmen were awakened from the formation, and the formation of the arrow formation was completed and blindly covered outside the camp.

During the Second World War, as long as there is foggy weather, the machine guns of each sentry will fire blindly. Of course, this kind of action is not to panic in idleness. It is nothing more than to shoot at areas where it may escape to sneak attacks on the enemy. Of course, it is best to shoot people to death.

In the cold weapon era, blind shots will also be carried out under foggy weather. In the final analysis, it is still for deterrence. With this intention, the enemy forces think that a sneak attack has been discovered.

The Han army has plenty of arrows. There is no worries about running out of arrows. When encountering dense fog, they will not be stingy with arrows. The crossbowmen who have been ordered to wake up suddenly in their dreams use the arrows they shoot. Yalai vented, and he could really hear the screams in the dense fog.

Sneak attacks through thick fog are the norm. Any commander who encounters such weather will try it out, but generally it means to send a large number of troops but each team has a small number of people. The main reason is to touch the camp for destruction, which can cause the enemy to happen. Ying Xiao is the biggest gain. If it doesn't work, just touch it and set it on fire.

In such a dense fog environment where you can’t see your fingers, you don’t even think about giving the next order when the troops are sent out. Basically which team gets what order before setting off, then it can only keep pushing towards the established goal. . After all, in the foggy weather, you can't find someone if you want to find someone, and there is no way to change the military order or something.

Even when the sun rises, you can only see the person closest to you when you are in the thick fog, and the farther place is a piece of fog. People in this environment are actually extremely tense and tense in their hearts. A little stimulus will unconsciously swing out the weapon.

"Over there..." Li Mi tried his best to see farther. The problem is that no matter how wide your eyes are, you can only see so far. She puts on a posture of listening attentively: "Listen to Xi Xi Suo Suo..."

What is the composition of the cold weapon army camp? There will be levels in a regular camp, and there must be enough open space on the periphery. The next level is a buffer zone composed of many obstacles, and there are multiple barriers with fences, wooden fences, and wooden fences behind.

In the open space, weeds, trees, bushes and other things that can obstruct the line of sight are completely cleaned up. Secret and clear whistles are also arranged. Secret whistles are digging holes for people to hide, and clear whistles are pavilions made of wooden boards. They are the army. Eyes on the periphery of Daying.

The buffer zone will be very complicated, with many horse-rejecting, pointed wooden rafts, or debris, and iron tribulus will be sprinkled when necessary, and the safety of the location can be pedestrian and not fixed.

For the enclosed "circle", the first one will generally be a fence wall, this kind of wall is not too high, and basically reaches the waist of an adult, which can be used as an arrow when necessary; the second one will be a continuous fence. Lined wooden fences, they are not sealed, each stake will leave a gap; the wooden fence behind is sealed side by side mode, this kind of wooden fence is modeled on the city wall, the height is at least three meters, the width is usually two meters Above, an arrow tower will be built every other segment, and it is arranged in multiple levels. Knife breaks the sky

In addition to opening the necessary fortifications, where is the rest area of ​​the soldiers within the camp, where will the school yard be left, where should the food collection point be, where is the armory, and even where is the toilet? There is full attention to detail, the only constant is that the main general's big account is definitely in the core area.

Whether a general is a qualified general is more than just commanding the troops to fight, and it can be seen from the layout of the camp in many cases. Generals who do not understand the layout of the camp will not have the opportunity to lead the troops independently.

Simply take the place where the toilet area should be placed. If the location is wrong, the entire campsite should be filled with odor. Even ignoring the toilet area will make the entire campground full of baba. Flies flying everywhere is the second thing. Poor hygiene will inevitably result. Make germs rampant.

During the Second World War, the official statistics of the total casualties were close to 200 million, and then the death toll was between 55 and 60 million, but the people who really died of bullets, artillery shells... and other weapons actually only Accounted for 40 to 50% of them, and the rest died from other diseases. The most serious one was disease.

Take the battlefield of 1 country in World War II as an example. According to the official statistics in the 1990s, the total death toll of Chinese soldiers and civilians was 18 million, and the number of military deaths was 1.48 million. The Chinese 1st Army killed 1.35 million, and a certain party (including unknown guerrillas) killed about 100,000 to 120,000. It must be said that the cruelty of devils is an absolute fact, but it is starvation and disease that caused such a large-scale death. (The North China Famine in 1942 alone caused more than three million deaths)

The army is a collective. If any collective lacks medical treatment, once any infectious disease breaks out, it will inevitably have terrifying consequences. There are many large-scale infectious diseases in China, such as the outbreak in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. There were two large-scale plagues, the most serious of which was to sweep the Central Plains and then spread to the south of the Yangtze River, causing millions of deaths.

Preventing the outbreak of infectious diseases has always been the most important thing for the military. In addition to the proper handling of corpses, human excretion is also the top priority. Therefore, it is true that there is no general who will not even choose the position of the camp to go to the toilet. Qualified independent troops.

Li Mi's position is at a secret post on the periphery. The area where they are located has been covered by the rear crossbow troops. They have been notified to avoid the arrows before shooting, but no one knows whether the blind shooting coverage of the arrow array has caused accidental injuries. .

During several blind shooting coverage, Li Mi did not hear the screams, some were the sound of the arrow hitting certain objects, and he even lifted the top wooden board behind him. In fact, there was nothing to see in the darkness. .

The things that can be removed from the surrounding area have been cleaned up, and Xixi Suosuo's voice is not unfamiliar to soldiers. It is the movement of many people crawling on the ground.

"Captain, what shall we do?"

"What nonsense, ring the clapper for Lao Tzu!"

There was a sound of clappers, and there was a conversation in the distance, followed by a shout, and the sound of rapid footsteps was dense.

Hiding in a pothole can hear the movement of people trampling in more detail, so that you can tell that there are really a lot of people without looking at it, not to mention the deafening shouts and the dullness of frequent trampling on the planks above your head. The sound made Li Mi's face all green.

In the distance, I didn’t know who yelled something at first, and then the huge bowstring humming once covered the yelling from people’s mouth. After a while, Li Mi could hear the screams constantly. Smashed a bit.

If there is enough light, and then ignore the dense fog, you can see hundreds of Zhang’s Liang army. They are rushing in a mess, and the direction of the charge is not necessarily right. They ran and ran into each other and hit each other. It was also commonplace. Waves of arrow rain fell from the air, and the arrows broke through the shirt, penetrated into the skin, penetrated into the muscles and then caused screams or groans.

The arrow formation lasted for about half an hour before it stopped. Every breath was a torment for Li Mi who was hiding under the pothole. His head without a helmet was even wet with blood. Da Da and slimy, the cave was full of strong **** smell.

The pothole of the secret post is not too big, it can hold five people at most. Li Mi communicated with Paoze first, waiting for the opening of the top shelf to be lifted, but found that it could not be lifted.

"There must be a corpse on it. The big guy pushes hard together." The reborn princess Wan Wan

Not knowing that a corpse pressed the wooden board, Li Mi and others took the boss's energy to open it, and let the two corpses fall into the pothole and hit their companions.

In this area of ​​them, more than one groan can be heard, and farther away, I don’t know how many people are shouting and roaring. It looks like Zhang’s Liang army who is touching the camp has reached close enough and has launched an attack. camp.

In this kind of dense fog, the responsibility of the secret sentry is to guide the shooting area for the arrow array behind, and the open sentry should be withdrawn to the camp if it is excluded by the enemy.

"Hurry up...hurry up and get in and re-attach it!"

The shouts came from directly in front of Li Mi and others, and the sound was definitely not less than a thousand people. First, they hurriedly picked up the enemy’s corpse and pushed it out of the pit, and then hurriedly rebuilt the compartments. Above, there is no light and I don’t know if it’s covered up tightly.

It was the clapper sound that was struck again, but it was not Li Mi's work in this pothole. The listening position was that they were in the front, and it didn't take long for the archers in the rear to start blindly covering again.

From dawn to the eastern sky, there is a fish-white light. After the light is there, the visible distance is actually not much different. It is still the kind of field of vision that can be seen clearly within one or two steps at most.

From the first blind firing of the arrows to the whitening of the east, it should have been an hour before the noise stopped. Zhang's Liang army was obviously unsuccessful in stealing the camp, but it did not stop because of this, but began to continue. charge.

"Most enemy forces can only touch the buffer zone and cannot cross the fence area." Zhong Xing looked a little wet, and some metal armor pieces were covered with water drops. He had been standing in a certain position for a long time. , The phenomenon of excessive fog, shaking the untied cloak, continued: "The enemy has not been able to cause any actual harm to us, why are they constantly impacting?"

Xie An was woken up in the early hours of last night, only to give the necessary arrangements, and went to bed with peace of mind. When Zhong Xing came over, he was freshening up.

"For the enemy, this kind of weather is their only chance to counterattack." Xie An wiped his face with a towel, walked to the shelf supporting the armor, and was helped by the soldiers to put on the armor. He asked Yuan Qiao when he came in. : "Long history, how much did the arrow consume?"

Yuan Qiao was not a military commander. He didn't need to wear armor, touched a handful of fur on his body, and then took it off and gave it to his pros to bake it. Then he replied: "The total consumption of all kinds of arrows exceeds 80,000. ."

"It's less than an hour..." Xie An felt a bit more or less: "The big man can withstand such a consumption. In the previous battle of Chibi, the total consumption of arrows of the coalition forces was only 140,000."

The number of arrows consumed by the Han army in each battle is indeed very terrifying. The most exaggerated is the siege of Dingxiang, which consumed an astonishing 140,000 arrows, and the total number of arrows consumed in Bingzhou and Shuozhou exceeded 300,000.

Of course, the arrows shot out will still be recovered after the war, some can be reused after being cleaned, and some broken arrow shafts are recovered arrows and tail feathers.

"The enemy seems to have no intention of stopping the attack~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Except for the east side and stopped, the other directions are still charging. The west side has already had close hand-to-hand combat, which shows that the west side is the main direction of the enemy's attack. "Yuan Qiao is a long history of the march. He has the right to inquire about what happens. He also shoulders the heavy responsibility of giving advice to the general." The fog will not dissipate in a short period of time, and the enemy commander's determination is great, but...it's a bit confusing."

"Yes, the enemy has Jincheng, a strong city. It can be defended by the strong city. There is no need to ignore the casualties and rush into the camp." Xie An has thought about this for a long time, but he did not come up with a reasonable explanation at all. , He said: "Even if you want to take advantage of the weather, you can't get close to the camp with such a large amount of casualties, but you are still rushing, which is really unreasonable..."

Someone outside was yelling for a meeting, got permission to enter the big account, and reported that someone inside should bring news.

The so-called internal Ying is of course Yi Yi and some other people. They reported to Xie An that Zhang Chong went out of the city in person, and even a large number of troops were not in the city. Today, they have full confidence in seizing control of the city and invited Xie An to send. Military entry control.

"This……"

Xie An and the others were somewhat stunned when they heard the news, and looked at each other for a while and could not react.
