Chapter 352 This is clearly a friendly force
Chapter 352 This is clearly a friendly force
It was still dark, but the camp south of Luchuan was already as bright as day.
The flames spread from everywhere, and soon burned down many military tents near the southern forest.
The orange-red flames roared up along with the breeze!
After leaving the camp, the scouts led by Lu Yunyi rushed straight to the south without stopping.
Finally, at daybreak, they arrived at the grain road opened up by the Luchuan camp.
Although he looked down on the coalition forces, after reaching the grain route,
Lu Yunyi discovered that he had overestimated the military capabilities of these southern countries.
Whether it is the protection of the food route or the vigilance of the surrounding mountains and forests,
We can’t say there are none, we can only say there are very few!
Under the wanton encirclement and suppression of more than 2,000 people,
In less than half an hour, the entire food route within five miles outside the Luchuan southern camp had been cleared.
Bodies were everywhere.
After seeing the dilapidated state of the Luchuan camp,
Lu Yunyi had no intention of returning the same way.
He turned and headed straight north, following the food route, and broke into the camp very smoothly.
Thanks to the fact that the Luchuan camp stretched for nearly twenty miles,
The fighting and warfare in the north had no impact on the southern camps.
The soldiers were still fast asleep, and only reacted when the cavalry rushed into the camp.
At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos.
Lu Yunyi held a longbow and shot arrows continuously.
Any soldier he perceived to be in danger would be shot to death with one arrow, without exception!
With this support, the scouts of the front army were unstoppable and almost wiped out more than a hundred military tents.
Lu Yunyi's expression was extremely strange at this moment.
While shooting arrows continuously, he was thinking about the absurd thing that had just happened.
The soldiers here thought he was one of their own at first.
He looked back and forth on his warhorse, not understanding what they were saying.
But from their speaking speed and gesticulating expressions, we can tell that they are very excited at the moment.
Even after the long sword fell, they seemed very excited.
It was not until he breathed his last that he showed a bit of confusion.
Lu Yunyi swept his gaze across the camp with a sharp look.
He soon discovered that the Luchuan camp was not always accessible.
But it is like a grid, constantly separating.
Just like the camp in front of us, there is a gate in the north direction, which is now tightly closed.
As a result, soldiers from the neighboring camp who had noticed the chaos were unable to come to the rescue and were blocked outside by the gate.
Although he thought the coalition was weak, it was also the first time Lu Yunyi had seen the coalition.
I didn't expect it to be so weak, even the internal ones have defenses!
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi looked at the almost cleared military tents, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
He quickly found Xu Zengshou and Guo Quan in the crowd and shouted:
"The musketeers advanced and reached the northern gate, where they formed two flanks and formed a crossfire."
Not far away, Xu Zengshou, who was organizing a cleanup, suddenly raised his head and took out a horn from his waist.
The next moment, a desolate horn sounded, with a unique rhythm.
The musketeers, who were originally divided into countless small teams, quickly began to gather towards Guo Quan and Xu Zengshou, and then headed due south.
Lu Yunyi gave the order again.
"Wu Fuliu, dismount and fight on foot to protect the musketeers!"
Wu Fuliu, who was charging recklessly in the military tent, focused his eyes, waved his hand vigorously, and a whistle sounded!
A group of nearly a thousand soldiers quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
He retreated to the vicinity of the south gate and then dismounted quickly!
They quickly formed two columns, pulled down their armor, and the orderly sound of armor colliding rang out.
At this moment, the two columns seemed to merge into one with the musketeers, tightly protecting their left and right sides!
With one thousand cavalry less charging, the remaining one thousand cavalry suddenly felt a surge of pressure.
The frequency of moving around in the camp and the speed of swinging the sword have increased by more than one level.
Lu Yunyi looked at the fire in front of him and smelled the blood in the air.
He also saw the figures of people hiding in the military tents who dared not come out. His eyes flickered and he made a quick decision in his heart!
"Zhang Yu, persuade them to surrender!"
The messenger's flag was flying in all directions, and his horse was galloping without stopping, shuttling between the battles.
Zhang Yu swung the long sword in his hand and chopped off the head of a Burmese soldier who stuck his head out.
Then he looked at the command flag and a smile appeared on his lips.
With a powerful commander, every military order is just right!
The next moment, Zhang Yu suddenly shouted:
"I am a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. I will not be killed if I kneel down!"
The guards around him also knew the intention and quickly began to disperse, shouting:
"I am a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. I will not be killed if I kneel down!"
"I am a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. I will not be killed if I kneel down!"
The reputations of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty are top-notch reputations in the world.
Now, only the Ming Dynasty remains between heaven and earth, rising slowly.
In an instant, the sound of swords and weapons falling could be heard one after another.
Some appeared outside the military tent, and some appeared inside the military tent.
Through the increasingly fierce firelight, one could see figures kneeling down in the military tent.
This made Lu Yunyi, who had been observing the battle, twitch his lips slightly.
These soldiers do not know why they are fighting.
He was used as a knife by Silunfa and the bigwigs of Myanmar and died in vain.
If they knew what they were doing,
They will certainly not go to war with the suzerain country, nor will they get involved in this muddy water.
Lu Yunyi wanted to kill these kneeling captives very much.
But the times are different now. Facing such a huge army, it is better not to kill them.
What we are staying for today is to reduce the resistance of the entire Luchuan camp!
Lu Yunyi ordered in a deep voice:
"Strictly order all soldiers not to harm anyone who drops his weapons and kneels on the ground!"
Feng Yunfang beside him waved his hands vigorously, and many guards dispersed outside, constantly spreading orders.
Some soldiers who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill a few people had regrets and reluctance in their eyes.
He withdrew the knife angrily and cursed loudly.
Then he rushed towards the soldiers who were still resisting.
Like a pack of wolves facing meat, they rush forward.
The camp was in chaos, but in Lu Yunyi's eyes, everything was in order.
The combat strategy of the front-line scouts is not affected by the enemy's response.
Just follow the steps and the enemy will be defeated.
Lu Yunyi urged his horse to charge from the south side of the camp to the north side of the camp.
He found that the Burmese camp in front of him was well protected.
The protection for friendly forces is even stricter than that of the southern camps.
A wooden fence taller than a man, with fortifications and many wooden planks piled on top, separated the two camps.
There were holes on the tall camp gate, reserved for spears to charge.
There are even two arrow towers on both sides, which are now occupied by the scouts of the front army!
Lu Yunyi listened attentively, and the voices on the other side were extremely noisy.
There were still the sounds of swords clashing and angry shouts, but there was no sound of the movement of an entire army.
This made Lu Yunyi's eyes flash with disappointment. With such a good terrain and the opportunity to annihilate the enemy,
It's such a pity that we missed the opportunity just because of the enemy's slow reaction.
Lu Yunyi sighed softly, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand gently:
"Musketeers, get ready!"
"Open the door!"
After the words fell, the musketeer, who had been impatient for a long time, pursed his lips.
There is a dazzling light in his eyes, which is breathtaking!
After experiencing the rapidity of the musket phalanx killing the enemy,
They are constantly thinking about when they can do it again.
Now, the opportunity has come.
They had made a detailed observation and found that there were many armored soldiers in front of them.
But most of them are half armor, so as long as you aim slightly,
The bullets fired from the musket can penetrate deeply into the enemy's body.
boom--
The heavy door made a creaking sound.
The tightly closed door panel had a tiny gap and began to open little by little.
The noise from the world outside the door poured in at this moment, mostly exclamations and anxiety about the upcoming war.
The gap in the door became larger and larger, until it was big enough for one person to pass through.
A skinny man with a pale face and a sack in his hand rushed in. The greed in his eyes was as obvious as the bright moon in the firelight.
Seeing him, almost everyone present was slightly stunned.
A hint of astonishment also flashed across Lu Yunyi's eyes.
As soon as the man entered, he felt his body stiffen.
I saw more than a hundred black gun muzzles and thousands of soldiers in armor.
Before he could react, the force behind him made him fall to the ground.
He tried to struggle to get up.
But the foot seemed to fall too fast.
He couldn't lift his head or stand up straight, and was eventually trampled to death.
The crowd in front of me was like a flood, rushing in eagerly.
Lu Yunyi stared at him, reacted quickly, and shouted:
"Musketeers, fire volleys!!"
Until this time, Guo Quan and Xu Zengshou also reacted, and Xu Zengshou on the left shouted:
"Three-stage attack, volley!"
Boom boom boom boom——
Stars lit up on the left side of the gate, and violent explosions and gun smoke suddenly sounded.
Accompanied by the sound of people falling to the ground and wailing.
After three shots, Guo Quan on the right held a command flag in his hand.
With sharp eyes and full of excitement, he waved his hand vigorously downwards!
"Three-stage attack, volley!" Boom boom boom boom -
Many soldiers who were rushing to the left were shot through the back and fell to the ground helplessly.
The sound of the muskets exploding sometimes came from the left and sometimes from the right.
When there are too many people, the sounds from both sides will ring at the same time, thus forming cross fire!
The gate in front of me gradually became a gate for harvesting lives.
Any life that rushes in from here will not be able to survive and rush into the 10-foot range of the gate.
The mountain of people appeared again.
This time, he appeared in the Luchuan camp.
Lu Yunyi looked at the many soldiers in front of him.
Especially those greedy eyes, the various bags in their hands, and their faces full of deep thought.
In times of crisis, the most dangerous force for such a coalition is not the enemy.
Rather, they were friendly forces that had always been on guard against each other.
Especially the southern countries, each of them was extremely poor, and the military quality of the soldiers was not high.
They want armor, swords, and war horses!
If you can't take the enemy's, then take the friendly ones.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunyi looked back.
The battle in the camp is coming to an end.
Although the horses were still galloping and shouting,
But compared to its previous enthusiasm, it has weakened a lot.
Looking at the soldiers who were still climbing the mountain of people like ants, Lu Yunyi thought deeply, raised his head to look at the arrow tower, and shouted:
"Fang Wenhao, the number of enemy troops!"
Fang Wenhao, who was hiding above and constantly dodging the incoming arrows, suddenly stuck his head out of the bunker.
He took a quick look with the telescope in hand, and then shouted back:
"I don't know, sir. There are more and more of them. It's all black."
Without waiting for Lu Yunyi to reply, Wu Fuliu, who was directing the battle, suddenly raised his head and cursed:
"You son of a bitch, report accurately, how many people are there!!!"
Fang Wenhao's face turned pale, and he flicked his head out again, sweeping past quickly.
"At least three thousand!"
After he finished speaking, he stuck his head out again, this time he was looking at the military tent not far away.
There, many soldiers rushed out, their clothes in disarray.
This scene made Fang Wenhao's face turn pale.
Oh my god, the enemy elite is coming!
"Sir, the enemy's elite troops are coming, and they are eager to fight!"
Hearing this, Lu Yunyi frowned slightly, looked back at the camp, and shouted:
"Xu Zengshou, Wu Fu and the other six divisions will slowly retreat from the rear. The rest of you should retreat quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, the excited musketeer who had just filled the gunpowder froze in his face.
He gritted his teeth and let out a huge sigh!
Retreat quickly!
But at this moment, another explosion suddenly sounded from the team on the right.
Everyone looked back and saw that a soldier had fired the last shot.
Not only did Lu Yunyi's gaze suddenly become like a tiger in the mountains,
Guo Quan's face turned pale in an instant, and he rushed over and kicked him.
"Can't you hear the military order?"
The soldier, who was in his twenties, was kicked to the ground, his face full of grievance.
"Just one shot, sir."
Guo Quan poked his head with a look of disappointment, then glanced back quietly.
Seeing the adult's face as black as charcoal, he slapped him back again!
"Come here, arrest him and take him away!!"
"Martial law!"
Two soldiers suddenly rushed out from the musketeers and dragged him away from the battlefield.
This situation made many musketeers on the left sober up for a moment.
Thinking of the strict military laws in the army, I couldn't help but shudder.
Xu Zengshou sighed slightly and waved his hand back:
"After three attacks, slowly retreat!"
Then he looked at Wu Fuliu beside him:
"My lord, please."
Wu Fuliu nodded slightly and issued a military order:
"Ready your bows and crossbows. If any enemy comes close, shoot them!"
The retreat was carried out in a tense and orderly manner. A strong army can not only decide when to start a war, but also decide when to stop the war!
Only a complete and orderly retreat can reflect the true discipline of an army.
Wu Fuliu, who was at the rear, had already retreated to the middle of the camp.
The expected fight did not come. He stared blankly ahead.
After those "elite enemy troops" rushed into the camp,
The first thing they did not do was to rush towards them, but instead rushed into the adjacent military tents and looted indiscriminately.
There were even fights and killings.
The Burmese soldiers did not dare to attack the Ming army.
But they were not polite to the Laotian soldiers who were separated by a wall!
The fighting started again.
There was even a strange scene where the front army scouts took a step back and the Laotian soldiers took a step forward.
Whenever a line of military tents was withdrawn, shouts of killing would be heard instantly.
This situation made Wu Fuliu feel absurd and he cursed loudly:
"What is this?"
If you don’t know, you might think they are the patron saints of Myanmar.
Slowly, Wu Fuliu retreated from the gate of the Southern Army Camp.
Their war horses had already been led out and gathered aside.
After exiting the southern gate, the dismounted infantry quickly retreated.
The musketeers on horseback blocked the gap again.
Although the soldiers in the camp had no intention of leaving the camp to pursue the enemy, military orders and training were like this, and no link could be missed.
At this time, the real chaos in the camp had just begun!
The two sides grappled with each other, and it was no longer a one-sided massacre like the scouts of the front army.
Instead, they were evenly matched and suffered heavy damage.
Lu Yunyi's brows were furrowed to the extreme, and his heart was filled with absurdity.
He always liked to do things carefully and he had to admit that,
These southwestern soldiers in front of him taught him a lesson. He had never expected such a scene.
Looking up, the soldiers around him were all the same, with frowns on their faces, full of absurdity.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi shook his head and gave the order in a deep voice:
"The wounded should return to the military camp in seclusion, and those with minor injuries should head north!"
The mighty cavalry disappeared into the mountains and forests.
All that remained was the sky full of flames and the war that had not yet stopped.
The Burmese military camp in the southernmost part of Luchuan was experiencing a battle even more severe than the attack by the Ming army.
There were constant sounds of screaming, hacking and wailing.
Facing the Ming people, some soldiers could not and did not dare to resist.
But when facing friendly forces, they unleashed unimaginable combat power.
The camp was in chaos.
Nearly half an hour later, Zhao Donggu, the chief general of the Burmese Division, hurried back to the camp.
He cursed countless times on the way, asking why the military tent should be set up in the northernmost part and why it could not be set up in the middle.
When he saw the mess in the camp, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
Before my eyes, there was a sea of fire.
The pungent smell of blood echoed throughout the camp.
He would find the right gap and drill in, rushing into his nose continuously.
The smell of burnt blood and the aroma of burnt meat could hardly be concealed.
Not only Zhao Donggu was stunned on the spot, but also the personal guards and deputy generals who followed him were also stunned.
The same was true for General Daiwang, the general from Luchuan who came with them.
Looking around, there was hardly a living person in Myanmar.
But there were still people alive in the military camp, they were Laosi soldiers carrying large and small bags, with grim smiles on their faces.
They were covered in blood.
The armor is no longer the half armor of the past, but a full armor pieced together from various sources.
He also wore two head armors, had several long swords on his waist, and dragged a sack in his hand, making clanging noises as he walked.
This sound brought the generals who had come to their senses back to their senses.
Sharp glances filled with astonishment were cast over.
Noticing such gazes, the team of soldiers were stunned on the spot, their eyes widened involuntarily, as if they were thinking about how to explain.
"what--"
Zhao Dong let out a wail and drew the long sword from his personal guard at his waist.
He just rushed forward and hacked the two men to death easily!
His wailing continued amid the crackling and exploding sounds of wood.
Seeing his men fall in a pool of blood one by one, Zhao Dong's eyes were red with anger.
They came here from afar just to make achievements, but now...
What he hated most now was not the Ming army, but the Laotian troops who were also friendly forces!
"Mosuo Yun, give me your life!!"
Mosuo Yun, who was at the end of the team, was gloating over the misfortune.
Seeing him rushing towards him with a knife in hand, he raised his eyebrows and quickly hid behind Dai Wang.
Dai Wang felt his veins exposed and his eyebrows twitching wildly.
At this time, a soldier came running from behind the crowd, shouting:
"My lord, my lord, the Ming army is coming again!!"
