Chapter 414 Operation Cold Arrow
Chapter 414 Operation Cold Arrow
"what!"
On the march of Jiangnan Camp, a group of soldiers walked forward cautiously, but no matter how careful they were, some soldiers still missed their feet and were pierced by short arrows in the pit. They had to hold their feet and cry.
Seeing this, everyone around him was agitated and walked forward even slower.
"what happened?"
The army slowed down again and again, which really annoyed Yishan.
"My lord, there are always traps ahead, and dozens of us have already stepped on them."
Fan Xiangou, who was beside him, said quickly: "Your Majesty, you can mobilize an army of a hundred servants to go in front of the team."
Yi Shan nodded and quickly gave the order.
In this way, the march will be smooth.
"call out!"
"Pfft!"
"what!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
After finally marching safely, an arrow suddenly flew out from the forest and hit a soldier directly. He screamed and fell to the ground, wailing uncontrollably.
For a moment, the soldiers were so frightened that they trembled and huddled in their shields while shouting that the enemy was attacking.
However, a group of soldiers from the Jiangnan camp were nervous, but they found that there were no more arrows shot out of the forest.
"A bunch of rats, rush in!"
Immediately, after giving an order, a small group of soldiers rushed into the forest screaming.
"boom!"
"Ooooooooooo!"
"The leg is broken, the leg is broken, Yi Pu's leg was pinched off."
With the sound of the animal trap, a soldier's leg was broken.
I saw someone panicking, not knowing what he had stepped on, and suddenly several arrows flew towards him.
"what!"
"There's an ambush, there's an ambush."
Accompanied by the screams of many people, the soldiers who had lost several people fled from the woods in a panic and embarrassment.
"Sir, no one has been found in the woods. They are all traps."
"In that case, don't go into the forest again and pass quickly."
"promise!"
Soon, as the army was walking safely, more than a dozen arrows flew out of the forest.
"Shhhhhh!"
"Ahhh!"
With the sound of arrows piercing the air, more than ten soldiers fell to the ground and howled in the blink of an eye.
Such tragic scenes made the soldiers marching furious.
At this time, not only were they not afraid at all, but after roaring, they drew their swords and shouted.
"Fuck it, guys, go in and kill these bastards."
After saying that, a team officer took the lead and rushed in with his brothers.
"boom!"
"what!"
It was really satisfying for them to rush in with their minds hot, but the consequences were even more sour.
Suddenly, many people fell into the trap.
Some were hung up, shot through with arrows, some were cut off by animal traps, some were directly transferred into deep pit traps, and some stepped on broken arrows.
Not only that, the archers in the forest dared to rush in when they saw these soldiers, hiding in the dark and firing arrows from time to time.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Jiangnan camp suffered heavy casualties, and suddenly there was a roar of wind, cranes, and vegetation.
"Escape!"
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who had been braved fled, even leaving the wounded alone.
Back on the road, after the shock stabilized, I felt like reporting the money.
Yishan was furious, "You bastards, you couldn't even deal with a bunch of little thieves, and you were beaten until you were running around with your head in your hands. What does it look like?"
"Come here, tell me my order. If you encounter any attackers, don't enter the woods. Set fire to force the Han thieves to come out, or burn them to death."
"and many more!"
After listening to Yishan's words, Fan Xiangou quickly persuaded:
"My lord, this method is absolutely impossible!"
Yishan turned around and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Fan Xiangou explained: "The mountains and forests on both sides are hot and humid, making it difficult to catch fire. If you really want to set a fire, you will need a lot of fire starters, which may not be effective, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"Furthermore, setting fire will consume a lot of our supplies, making it difficult for us to attack the city, and it will also greatly slow down our marching speed."
Yishan asked: "What are the military advisors' tricks?"
Fan Xiangou said: "It's not a clever idea. If that team is attacked, just leave one team behind the forest for defense. Just wait for the army to pass them and then catch up."
"At the same time, we need to mobilize two thousand-man teams from the servant army to form a small team of a hundred people. When we encounter the attackers, we will order them to enter the forest to clear out the attackers."
"This two-pronged approach can ensure the stability of our army on the march."
Fan Xiangou said that he focused on the lives of the soldiers in the Jiangnan camp, but he didn't care at all about the lives of the servants.
Yishan nodded happily after hearing this, and then ordered the arrangements to be made.
However, the Han army's ambush personnel were not merciful to this kind of servant army, and immediately chose to kill them all together with the soldiers from the Jiangnan camp.
Not only that, under the command of Lu Yulin, the teams involved in the ambush also changed their methods at this time.
They soaked the arrows in excrement, and then fired them at a 150-degree angle 45 steps away from the army. Each time they shot no less than ten people, three rounds were fired rapidly.
Although the damage of such an attack would be much reduced, for the soldiers of the Jiangnan Camp who only wore a layer of leather armor, the arrows could still penetrate their bodies.
Although the short-term lethality is not that great, the subsequent damage is not small.
Under such an attack, although not many soldiers in the Jiangnan Camp died, many were injured.
At the same time, military morale also suffered a huge blow.
Regarding this situation, Jiangnan Camp had not thought of sending out scouts, but once the scouts were sent out, it would be difficult for about ten people to come back.
Two or three people acting together are too many to take care of.
Coupled with the fact that the army stretched for several miles, the Han army could launch a sneak attack from any point.
It can be said that the journey to Jiangnan Camp was frightening.
In order to cope with the sneak attack of the Han army, many changes were made to the Jiangnan camp.
For example, let the servant army serve as scouts, gather people around you, etc.
It's just that this method can't stop the cold arrows of the Han army.
The bows and arrows are extremely powerful, and the archers shoot accurately, just like the legendary archers, and they are also masters in large numbers.
It was only a few dozen miles, and Jiangnan Camp had only traveled half of the distance.
During this period, there were as many as 32 attacks, with 700 people killed and more than [-] injured.
The situation can be answered by heavy losses.
"His grandma is a rebellious traitor and a despicable villain. He has no moral ethics and engages in sneak attacks."
For a moment, Yishan was walking and hopping, cursing angrily.
It is really pitiful that the Eighth Prince, a dignified prince in the imperial court and the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan camp, was forced by the Han army to have a horse and not be able to ride. He was really his mother.
I saw Yishan at this time, wearing a helmet and armor, surrounded by personal guards and horses.
Really protect yourself well.
Although Fan Xiangou, who was the dog-headed military advisor next to him, could not enjoy dressing up like this, his many suggestions greatly reduced the losses in the army, so he also hired someone to help him hold the shield.
Fan Xiangou's legs were trembling as he walked. Then he cautiously raised his head and saw that the shield held above his head by a soldier was filled with arrows. He felt like crying without tears.
Good guy, their central army was attacked three times. They were all shot by the Han army with bows and arrows in places with narrow roads and high mountains on both sides.
There were three waves of arrows at once, basically aimed at him, and now his legs were extremely weak.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think I don't need a shield!"
"I'm not afraid of danger, really, really!!"
The words were so sincere that I shed tears.
