Chapter 758: Improved Smoke Bomb
After Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue found out the smoke, Xu Qing originally wanted to make up a thunderbolt, but thought that they had no cover now, and it would be their own loss to throw the grenade, so Xu Qing dismissed the idea, but then again Added a smoke bomb.
The night became their best cover.
Even though there were experts on the opposite side who had a perception similar to Xiao Ruxue's, these coughing sounds had already disturbed his hearing, and he couldn't be tracked at all.
Just when Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue were about to get on their horses and run away, Xiao Ruxue suddenly saw a person rushing out of the smoke screen, only a short distance away from Xu Qing. But hastily let his scimitar fall to his shoulder.
Seeing this, Xu Qing immediately fired a fire blunderbuss and shot the man dead.
Then Xu Qing pulled Xiao Ruxue back while checking Xiao Ruxue's injuries and asked, "Xue'er, were you chopped?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said, "No, I'm wearing armor, and their knives can't cut through."
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly asked, "Then did you suffer any internal injuries?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head again and said, "I'm wearing the soft armor given by my father, even if I hit my body with a blunt object, it won't cause internal injuries, just use me as a shield, if there is danger, just use me Push it over, and I'll be fine."
Xu Qing pulled Xiao Ruxue back while saying, "What nonsense!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "I'm wearing armor."
Xu Qing said: "You can't wear anything, don't block the knife like this next time, it's too dangerous."
Xiao Ruxue said: "But if you don't stop it, something will happen to you."
Xu Qing said: "I'd rather have something to do than let you have something to do."
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, there was an army with torches chasing from the camp. Yan Guang, who stayed behind in the barracks, rushed over with the team patrolling the camp. Looking at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue, he said: " Commander Xu, Princess Yongle, what happened?"
Xu Qing said: "The enemy sent a small group of troops to infiltrate and attack the camp. I think they want to attack our army's supplies and firearms storage. I have already managed to get them to retreat temporarily. Don't go there either. The smoke I set up does damage in an area that does not distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, and whoever passes by before the smoke clears will suffer."
Of course, you can't light torches when attacking the camp at night. The enemy soldiers rushed into the smoke unexpectedly, and only thought of retreating quickly after feeling uncomfortable, because they were not sure how far the smoke was spreading in front, but the teammates behind were in the dark. They couldn't see anything clearly, and they didn't know what the people in front wanted to do. It was normal for a moment of confusion to affect the response ability of the entire army.
Yan Guang nodded and waved his hand: "The crossbowmen are ready!"
As soon as Yan Guang finished giving his orders, teams of crossbowmen pointed their arrows at the direction Xu Qing pointed, and then there was a rain of arrows.
Immediately afterwards, a row of armored soldiers blocked the shields to the front, and the troops behind the shields took turns throwing them over.
Perhaps these small troops who came here were the elite of the grassland army's elite, so they dared to come here to attack the camp, but it is a pity that no matter how strong your martial arts are under firearms, all living beings are equal!
When the smoke dissipated, Yan Guang was dumbfounded when he sent people to press up. Many people were shot to death by the crossbow, and many were killed by the bombardment. Some people retreated temporarily under the cover of darkness, and some survived. At this time, the survivors were curled up on the ground, coughing with snot and tears, and some people were even more special, their exposed skin was actually red.
Xiao Ruxue was quite surprised when she approached, looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Xu Qing, what kind of weapon are you using? They, how did they become like this?"
Xu Qing said; "Brother Xiao told me about the effect of the smoke bomb after he went to the battlefield last time. The smoke bomb I brought out this time has been improved twice by the Firearms Department, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. The skin is bleeding from being scratched...it's terrible, I will definitely use it less next time."
Xiao Ruxue blinked her eyes and said, "Why should you use it less? I think the effect is very good. If you take three pills, they will have runny noses and tears, making it difficult to walk."
Xu Qing sighed and said, "That's right, can they even set up tents even when they have difficulty walking? They can't even build a prisoner-of-war camp by themselves. Using this kind of weapon is really a waste of labor. We have to give such prisoners They treat them and build them prisoner-of-war camps, aren't we at a loss?"
Xu Qing is the dean of the National Chamber of Commerce. If you do something, can you not analyze the pros and cons and consider the pros and cons?
He analyzed the income-expenditure ratio in advance, and he almost became an occupational disease.
...
Wanyan Department
At this time, Agula is still arranging the evacuation sequence and route in an orderly manner: "From here, we will withdraw all the way to the old royal court. Remember, we should evacuate in multiple routes, so that even if the Chu army chases them, they will not be caught in one go. "
"You guys, don't carry any supplies, go straight to the north, let the Chu army think that you are the main force, and provide cover for the rest of the people. If you are chased by the Chu people as a target, remember to pretend to be ordinary herdsmen. nothing will happen."
"This time travel lightly, don't bring too much luggage, our foundation is still in the old royal court, where there are still warriors guarding the royal court and many people from my Wanyan tribe waiting for us to return north, there is no shortage of supplies."
Wanyan Khan looked at Agula, who was arranging the orderly evacuation of the entire Wanyan Department, and finally sighed heavily: "Agula, is this Khan wrong this time..."
Agula shook his head and said, "What is Khan talking about? No one would have imagined that Chu's firearms can be used so accurately at night. They must have used a technology that our grassland has never mastered."
"Khan, the state of Chu is now at the forefront of our grassland with only weapons, and there is no help from the gods. What Khan has to do now is to reawaken the morale of our army. The state of Chu is also a human being, not a god. They can conquered."
Wanyan Khan originally wanted to say that the current morale might not be uplifting, but after seeing Agula's busy appearance, he finally nodded heavily and said, "Ben Khan knows."
The firearms were taught by the Wanyan Department last winter.
But Khan didn't take it seriously at that time, because the firearms that time did not cause much damage to the grassland army. At most, the horses were frightened, which was not as lethal as the crossbow.
He had never seen a firearm himself, so he took it lightly.
If Agula hadn't strongly recommended him not to go to war with Chu, he would have thought of attacking Chu at that time.
The Wanyan tribe was moved from the old royal court to this place because he wanted to attack Chu State and conquer the Central Plains. This place is the closest to Chu State, and you can overlook the Central Plains from here.
He even thought about making the capital of Chu State the new capital after conquering Chu State.
But tonight's firearms completely made Wanyan Khan realize how powerful the firearms are. He didn't even see the shadow of the enemy army. There were only hundreds of fire snakes spreading out on the ground, and the sound of roaring came from his ears. The sound, the sight is full of fire and thunderbolt.
The prairie wolves who conquered one by one were as insignificant as ants amidst the thunder that sounded like the wrath of the sky...
