Six hundred and seventieth eight chapters fire
In the afternoon, a train was driving on the track. Because it was found that there were a large number of obstacles on the track ahead, the train had to stop, which was about fifty or sixty steps away from the obstacle.
The obstacles were not eliminated, and the train could not continue to move forward, but after the car was parked, no one came down to deal with the obstacle.
The breeze blew, and the weeds waist-deep on both sides of the railway swayed slightly.
I don’t know how long it took, several whistling sounds somewhere flew into the air, and the howling sound made the grass boil: suddenly many people emerged from the grass, holding various weapons, rushing towards the train.
They were Goguryeo soldiers and were ordered to attack strange vehicles on iron tracks. These vehicles were "trains" from the Central Plains. They looked like big snakes, with their heads spitting fire and moving faster than horses.
In order to stop the train, obstacles can only be accumulated on the iron tracks.
When they stopped, everyone surrounded them from different directions, like hunting dogs biting prey, relying on many people to wipe out Zhou soldiers in the car, and then took away the supplies in the car.
However, when the Goguryeo soldiers were only approaching more than a hundred steps away from the train, many small windows in each carriage began to flash: that was when Zhou soldiers began to shoot with "bird guns".
Almost every time the gun sounded, a Goguryeo soldier was shot and fell down, but the Goguryeo soldiers were not afraid and howled and continued to rush forward. Someone stopped, bent his bow and arrows, and aimed at the small window of the carriage to shoot arrows.
Although the window is very small, Zhou Bing relies on this window to observe and shoot, so as long as he shoots the arrow into the window, he has a high chance of hitting the person.
There was a flash of fire in the field. Some Gogurye soldiers lit torches and then lit fire arrows, hid behind their shield-covered companions, and shot fire arrows at the train, trying to ignite the carriage.
But the train was very long, and the Goguryeo soldiers cooperated in pairs to prevent them from being in front and on the flanks. The Zhou soldiers on the train could shoot the archers who shot fire arrows from the side, so not long after, the Goguryeo soldiers couldn't bear it and had to rush forward.
There were Goguryeo soldiers approaching the front of the train along the track. They only needed to defend the front with shields, and they did not need to worry about enemy soldiers shooting on the side. However, just over ten steps away from the front of the train, a large amount of white mist ejected from the front of the train enveloped them.
This is the high-temperature steam in the locomotive boiler. When it encounters a low (relative) object, it will condense, and at the same time release a large amount of heat, which makes the Goguryeo soldiers scream and cover their faces and fall to the ground.
In an elaborate ambush battle, the ambushers were unable to get close to the target. The fire arrows that shot into the car could not ignite the car. The Goguryeo generals hiding hundreds of steps away in the woods. Seeing that their side suffered heavy casualties and had little hope of taking down the enemy's vehicles, they ordered the attack to stop.
The followers walked out of the woods and shot several whistlings into the air one after another. The howling sound of the whistling whistling made the Goguryeo soldiers who were unable to advance and retreat as if they were granted a general amnesty and retreated one after another.
At this moment, there was a clear flash of fire at several small windows in the middle of the train, and thunder sounded at the same time.
The woods were instantly covered by fire and smoke. After the explosions one after another, the woods were in a mess, with no living figures.
The Goguryeo soldiers besieging the train knew that they realized that the enemy's train had powerful long-range weapons, and had no other thoughts and ran out.
On the train, Zhou army hunters holding bird guns were happily shooting the ambushers who were desperately running away with their backs to themselves. Because they used ordinary bullets and were relatively inexpensive, they did not need to save money.
It takes fifteen years for a person to go to the battlefield, and it takes about one or two hours to produce a bullet. Such an exchange ratio is worth a lot for Zhou Jun.
Many new recruits who participated in the actual combat for the first time were quite excited, aiming carefully, shooting, and experiencing the feeling of shooting a living target.
When the official army built the railway under the enemy's nose, the enemy and us launched an offensive and defensive battle around the railway. Now that someone comes to his door to die, everyone is reluctant to ask for it.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was no longer a standing figure in the wilderness on both sides of the railway. As for the attacker, he ran away, died, and lay on the ground without moving. Zhou Bing in the car could not confirm it, and there was no need to confirm it.
More than a dozen heavily armored soldiers got out of the car and moved the obstacles piled on the railway, but the train did not continue to drive, but stopped in place.
Another soldier got off the train, took the train as the original heart, and took a hundred steps as the radius, pulled up the wire mesh on the periphery, and then started setting fire to burn the weeds.
This train became a temporary fortress, and was nailed to the railway. The train had all kinds of basic living facilities, and there was no shortage of food, drinking water and ammunition. The soldiers took turns to be on duty and had to guard it until tomorrow dawn.
The railway built by the Zhou army was a few of them, and more were armed trains full of soldiers and weapons, like moving fortresses, and parked on different sections of the road as planned.
In terms of appearance, such trains are no different from transport trains, but they are like poisonous cooked cakes, constantly attracting stray dogs to come and "dine".
Then these wild dogs died of poison.
......
The golden crow falls westward, the jade rabbit rises eastward, and next to the riverside dam, a four-story earth building stands alone. The earth building is located in a soil enclosure surrounded by earth walls, surrounded by desolate areas. There are several water birds on the river beach, and there is an uninhabited wilderness on the shore.
There is only a railway that cannot be seen at the end passes by the dirt enclosure.
This earthen foil is a station, and its meaning is to give passing trains a place to unload goods to ensure that the soldiers stationed there are sufficient food and ammunition.
There are many such small stations along the railway. This slender railway is like a rope, stringing up iron locks (artillery towers), and these iron locks lock on all major traffic roads along the route.
Whether it is a pass, a Jinkou, a intersection, or a bridge, it is under the control of these artillery towers. Birds and beasts can pass by at will, but people cannot.
It certainly doesn't work during the day, but it may not be possible at night.
In the wilderness, countless black shadows crossed the river south and climbed to the southern land. They were Goguryeo soldiers ordered to attack at night, and they waited until night fell before they began to take action.
But they did not choose to attack the lonely earth building because it was difficult to fight. The defenders had many powerful weapons. Many teams had attacked artillery towers in various places before, but they suffered heavy casualties but failed to capture one earth building.
Therefore, it is better to attack the iron tracks between the earthen buildings.
There are often strange cars that spit fire and smoke passing by on iron tracks. The Goguryeo army has also attacked such strange cars, but there are also powerful weapons on the strange cars, so it is better to destroy the track on which the other party relies on, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
First, the track interruption means that the road that strange vehicles are walking on can no longer be opened and cannot transport personnel and supplies to the earthen buildings along the route.
Without these strange cars patrolling the tracks, more Goguryeo soldiers and horses can cross the tracks and go deep into the "occupied areas" activities.
Second, they chose to destroy the tracks two miles away from Tulou. If the Tulou defenders dare not come out to stop them, they can destroy the tracks as much as possible.
If the defenders rushed out, it would be just right and they would encounter a hiding halfway.
Now that night is falling, the fields are full of darkness, but the Goguryeo soldiers who are about to destroy the tracks have lit torches, which is to facilitate night work and to attract the attention of the Tulou defenders.
So, are you coming out or not?
A general looked at the blurry outline of the earthen building in the distance and sneered.
The Zhou army built earthen buildings along the railway, and the distance between them was very close. Generally, there was one in about ten miles. So, choosing a point between the two earthen buildings to cause damage. It would be a dilemma to defend the earthen buildings at both ends or not to come out.
Perhaps, the Zhou army's earthen building had long-range weapons that could reach several miles away, but the Goguryeo soldiers were on the railway tracks. If the Zhou army exploded the here, they would blow the railway tracks to pieces.
Therefore, the Goguryeo soldiers felt that the other party did not dare to use long-range weapons at this time.
It was dark in the field at night, and the other party was worried and would not dare to come out to stop them from destroying the iron track (railway).
One by one, the soldiers holding sledgehammers and crowbars rushed to the roadbed like hungry tigers and sheep, and rushed towards the railway tracks. One of them held the crowbar and inserted it under the railway tracks and started to exert force. As a result, the moment the crowbar and the railway tracks came into contact, his whole body began to shake.
A little white smoke came out of his body, and the smell of burnt meat was mixed with.
Seeing this, the companion next to him felt strange and stepped forward to pat the other party and told him not to jump around. As a result, the moment he met the other party, he also started to shake.
People who touched the rails with metal tools, people who stepped on the rails (barefoot or shoes were wet), and people who came into contact with the "dance" were all dancing.
This kind of shaking will be contagious, one by one, and almost everyone on the rails will dance. Their "dance" looks particularly strange under the erratic firelight, in the wilderness in the night.
On the earthen building (artifact building), at several small windows on the third floor, several people held telescopes to observe the firelight in the distance, looked at the figures swaying in the firelight, listened to the faint screams from the wind, and laughed.
I deserve it. If you don’t touch the electric rail, you will naturally not be electrocuted.
"How is the voltage?" One of them asked, and the man next to an instrument in the building looked at the dashboard and replied: "The voltage is stable and the circuit is running normally."
"Oh, this electricity will be until dawn, I'm afraid it will turn into charcoal."
Another person said, his tone was calm, and everyone seemed to be talking about barbecue instead of "grilling people".
The riverside block beside the artillery tower is built with a hydroelectric generator to generate electricity at any time. At night, the railway tracks are powered on at a specified time period. In a section of a specific length, whoever touches the railway tracks will die.
If the electricity is turned on into the river, let alone the people, even the fish and shrimp will be ruined.
