The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 425
This flamethrower sprays fire and oil together.

Some of the unburned oil fell on the horse's body, and it caught fire as soon as it touched it.Therefore, in the dark night, I saw scenes of strange scenes.

A cluster of flames rushed out of the camp and ran across the field.

While the fire was attacking the stables, other fire-breathing soldiers had been quietly lurking near the yurt and the armory.

Seeing the stables on fire, they immediately began to attack the yurt.

In a team of two, one person sprays on the top of the yurt once, and the other kicks them away, facing the inside of the yurt, regardless of Sanqi 21, sprays once and runs away.Then attack the next yurt.

This kind of fire attack tactics has been practiced many times in advance. Before launching the attack, everyone's attack target has been determined.Therefore, the offense is very efficient and methodical.

As for the effect of this fire attack tactic, it has also been evaluated and deduced during normal training.

At first, the goal of the fire attack was only to cause certain damage to personnel and create chaos.Later, during the exercise, another unexpected discovery was made.

This is the damage to the enemy's ordnance.

Whether it is the Tatars, or the four major tribes of South Vendura.The main weapons are bows and sabers.

There are feathers on their arrows and tails, which are used to control the direction of arrow flight.

Feathers are easily ignited, and the fire attack just plays the role of burning the feathers.

Once the feathers on the arrow are burned off, the arrow will lose its aim.In this way, even if there are still bows and arrow shafts and arrows, the threat is greatly reduced.

This is tantamount to destroying the enemy's long-range weapons. If they want to attack again, they can only fight hand-to-hand with sabers.

In the process of approaching the soldiers of the Fubing Corps with their sabers in hand, it was an insurmountable death journey.

This section of the journey is the moment when the serial guns, long guns, bows and arrows of the soldiers of the Fubing Regiment show their power.

If there are war horses, relying on the advantage of speed, the time of this death journey will be shorter.Without a horse, it would definitely be a difficult journey to walk alone.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the road to hell.

Looking towards the camp from the outside, the high place is the fire gate soaring to the sky, and the ground below is full of fire.A mass of flames wandered around the camp, it was the burning Tatars running around.

Some ran faster and rolled in the snow, and more fell down before reaching the place.

The roaring of horses and the howling of people are intertwined with each other, which makes people shudder.

Even Jia Lian couldn't help being shocked when he saw such a scene.

Fire attack tactics have existed since ancient times.Whether it is in offense or defense, it has been widely used.

Although it is also a fire attack, the fire attack this time is quite different from the previous ones.

There are two main differences.

One is that the time is short and the effect is quick.

As soon as the attack was launched, it immediately caused a large-scale fire to spread.

The traditional fire attack starts from the beginning of the fire and spreads to a large scale.There is always a time.This allows a certain amount of time for escape.

Such a fire attack leaves very little time for the enemy to react and escape.

The second is the difference of combustibles.

Traditional fire attacks require a large amount of combustibles such as vegetation. If the combustibles are wet, the combustion effect will not be good.

The spray gun fire attack, with its own kerosene, is not restricted by combustibles.Even if sprayed on the ground, even the soil will catch fire.

If it is sprayed on the grass and trees again, it will add fuel to the fire and the fire will be more intense.

Jia Qiao came back out of breath.

"Has everyone returned?"

"Reporting to the head of the group, the inventory has been counted, and they are all withdrawn."

"Pass me the order, the first round of shelling."

Following Jia Lian's order, the Folang machine guns everywhere fired one after another, and the bombs exploded in the enemy camp, setting off bursts of flames again.

This kind of flower bomb is not currently equipped in other armies of the German Empire.

However, its manufacturing process existed in the previous dynasty more than 100 years ago.

After the flowering bomb falls on the target, it explodes at the target, and the iron sand and fragments of the shell case exploded inside can produce a killing effect on the enemy.

This is much more efficient than ordinary simple projectile killing.

The previous round of fire attack, this round of shelling.Even if the opponent's commander is not dead, it will be difficult to reorganize the team.As for an effective counterattack, it is even more difficult.

"Order all the battalions to mount their horses, shrink the encirclement, and not let one go. But if there is resistance, shoot and kill!"

When the messenger went to convey the order, Jia Lian lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

"Second Brother Lian, I originally wanted to behead him, but now it seems that if I go in, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone. Chief Min's tactics are simply unheard of."

"Let's not talk about you, it's also the first time I have experienced such a style of play. At first I was skeptical, but now it seems that I am really worrying too much."

"The Tatars have always been good at fighting on horseback. We Han people mainly fight on foot. Now it just happens to be reversed."

"Hmph, even in a cavalry battle, they are not our opponents now. It's just that we are too lazy to fight them desperately."

"It's only our government corps who dare to say this, and other people can't do it either. Otherwise, how can North Wendula be defeated? Even South Wendula is lost, and we have to recover it."

"Don't mention them, I feel ashamed. How many of those armies are like us who are dedicated to training and fighting? It's no wonder they are undefeated."

The fire in the yurt gradually decreased.However, they fell down one after another.

The reduction of the fire does not mean that the danger has decreased, but it has become more serious.

These yurts are all made of wooden boards as the skeleton, and the outside is surrounded by felt.

The felt is made of wool, and when it touches the fire, the wool and cow hair catch fire.Although there was not much flame, it was quickly reduced to ashes.

Many people died in the fire, and those who survived were standing in the snow around the camp.

They wanted to rush out, but they couldn't find the horses.He rushed out on foot, but was shot back by bursts of firecrackers.

Every time a charge is made, a piece of corpse is left behind.

He wanted to shoot an arrow to fight back, but most of the feathers on the arrow were burned off.When the arrow shot out, I don't know where it went.

Meng Ge dragged one leg and stood in a shadow, trembling all over.

He has fought for more than 20 years and fought hundreds of battles across the grasslands. What kind of battle has he never experienced?
However, today's battle formation is the first time I have seen it in my life.

So far, he didn't even know who his opponent was.

This style of play is definitely not the style of play on the Wendula grassland.Nor is it the style of Cossack cavalry.

Only the Bukui people can use firearms like this.

But how did they come here?Such a long way, such a heavy snow, how did they get here?That bastard Shiteri, didn't he notice it?Didn't the spies in Bukui not discover such a large-scale operation?

Besides, how could they have the guts to attack us?
A man whose back was still on fire ran over and rolled a few times in the snow before getting up.

"How are your people, Batu?"

It turned out to be another commander, Batu.

"I only have about [-] people left. I charged twice just now and were beaten back. The opponent's firearms are too powerful. What the hell, who did it?"

"Aside from Jia Min, who else would fight like this?"

"How did this fire start? So fast?"

"They spray fire oil. I asked just now. They used it when the Bukui people brought the prince home last time. Let's..."

Before Meng Ge could finish speaking, he fell to the ground suddenly, and there was no further movement.

Batu took a look through the light of the fire, and saw several grains of iron sand embedded in Meng Ge's face, apparently hit by a firecracker.

"Centurion, Centurion..."

Batu shouted, but no one responded to him.

Of the ten centurions under him, six had already died, and the other two had been severely burned and could no longer walk, and it is estimated that they would not live long.

Meng Ge died, and he had no time to mourn.I just want to organize people and escape as soon as possible.

However, with the war horse gone, how easy is it to escape?Before he could reach the front, he was shot to death by the enemy's firecrackers and bows and arrows.

"Battalion Commander, just rush in and kill it to your heart's content."

Ni Ermao stooped and ran to Qin Zhong.

For this kind of step-by-step style of play, he felt that it was a bit too slow, so it was better to charge in on horseback and kill a lot.

"Ni Er, you are so stupid, you have to run to fight with them? Isn't it good to kill the enemy so steadily?"

"It's good, it's good, but it's not very happy."

"I know it's useful to show off. You forgot what Officer Min said? You need to use your brain to fight."

"What is a brain?"

"It's the heart. Go back and lead your team well. If someone runs away from you, don't blame me for turning against you."

Chief Min said that you need to use your mind to fight, but he didn't say that you use your brain.Heard only of the head, never of the brain.How did the brain become the heart?Not in one place?

Ni Er touched his head and then his heart, but he still couldn't figure it out.

People in this era don't know that human thinking is the behavior of the brain, and they all think that the heart is thinking.

So, if you scold him for being a pig, or for having no brains, he won't be angry, and maybe he will be happy for you.

Niu Jizong participated in the first wave of fire attack, and was very excited when he saw the enemy camp was on fire.

It seemed that at this moment, all the grievances that had been suppressed in his heart when he was defeated in North Vendura and served as a slave to the Tatars were all vented.

Next, he was going to step on his horse, rush into the enemy camp, and hack and kill to his heart's content.

However, he became more and more depressed.

Battalion Commander Jia Qiang did not issue the order to charge for a long time.

After waiting for a round of Franc cannons to attack, they still did not attack.Just slowly, attacking with firecrackers from a distance.

Niu Jizong used to have a military position and had fought in wars. Later, his family established a military regiment, and he led the military regiment to train soldiers.

This is the first time he has seen such a style of play today.

This is Jia Min's training method?That's how he won the South Wendura victory last year?

Although Feng Ziying told him that he was only a name for the deputy battalion commander, but he was also the deputy battalion commander by name, and if he had any suggestions, he still had to speak up.

"Battle Commander Jia, let's charge. Now that they have no horses, two round trips will kill him?"

"Niu Jizong, what is the purpose of our war?"

Jia Qiang asked slowly.

"Destroy the enemy."

"Didn't you destroy the enemy by fighting like this?"

"Destroyed."

"Is there less of them eliminated?"

"A lot."

"If that's the case, why do you have to charge?"

"I just want to have fun."

"The 15-strong army was defeated in the blink of an eye in the Battle of North Vendura. That would be a joy, isn't that good?"

"not good."

"Now, do you still think we should charge?"

"Shouldn't."

"Niu Jizong, return to the team!"

"Yes!"

Niu Jizong walked away, turned around, and came back again. Feeling something was wrong, he left again and arrived at Jia Qiao.

After all, I am also a deputy battalion commander, so treat me like a fool.Alas, it is not easy to gain some military exploits.
