Chapter 115 Thinking

Using a bow on rainy days is very unfavorable for the maintenance of the bow. First, the bow string is damp and loose, and then the glue that adheres to the bow body is soft. The range of the bow is affected when shooting archery on rainy days, while pulling the full string will cause irreparable damage to the bow.

What is worse than this is the correct head. The correct head of the arrow is very poor in rainy days, and the glue that sticks the arrow feathers to the shaft will be soft. If the quality of the arrow is not good, it will easily "lose hair", so the correct head will naturally not have it.

In addition, the range is reduced sharply, generally speaking, it is not conducive to archery on rainy days. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot archery. It is just that the accurate head and range are reduced significantly. Therefore, after the benefits of arrows are less likely to be made in rainy days, the two sides of the war will enter a confrontation.

If it is raining heavily for more than ten days, don’t do anything. Stay in the leaking tent and wait for mold.

It rained for most of the day today, and it was not as good as the bow was broken when the arrow was shot. However, the Zhou army attacked on the rainy night was indeed beyond the Sui army's expectations, and the many rockets shot out foreshadowed an attitude:

So what if it rains? I have too many bows, and throw them away if they break. I’m so arrogant!

The archery head is not accurate in rainy days, but it is not a problem for Zhou Bing who is attacking at night. The rockets they shoot are mainly projectiles, so there is no need to aim. The archers have already come outside the Sui army camp, so it doesn't matter if the range is sharply reduced.

It rained for several hours, and the surface of the camp was wet, not as easy as it was on weekdays. However, the primary goal of Zhou's soldiers was to scare the Sui soldiers. The infantry who rushed forward were naturally infantry holding long and short weapons.

To be precise, it was the infantry of the Hulin Army.

The night march was not a problem for the soldiers of the Hulin Army. Although marching on rainy nights was troublesome, it was not too big. They set off from Shangluo early this morning and came to the Liuxianping Zhou Army Camp in the evening. After a short rest, they attacked the Sui Army at night. Sure enough, they caught the Sui Army off guard.

He used the bamboo ladder he brought to climb over the village wall, broke through the gate, and after the large army rushed into the Sui camp and chopped them up when they saw people, repelling the counterattack organized by the Sui soldiers in a hurry, lit a torch and burned them all the way.

The sufficient tinder oil made it possible to set fire in light rainy weather. The Sui soldiers in their sleep were awakened and ran out of the camp in panic. They were divided and eliminated by the Hulin Army, which was the combat unit.

Amid the earth-shaking fighting, a fire dragon approached quickly outside the Sui army camp. This was the Zhou army camp that confronted the Sui army and sent soldiers to launch a second wave of offensives.

These ordinary Zhou soldiers did not undergo night marching training and could only walk on the night road with the help of torches. Although the road was slippery, their vanguard had already succeeded. The fire ignited at the Sui army camp became the best direction sign.

Tonight, the winner will be decided!

The commander of the Sui army, Li Che, commanded his troops to organize defense. His central army tent was located in front of the camp, and his camp was lined up along the valley. As long as he could organize people to withstand, the camp behind would have time to organize soldiers to fight back.

Of course the premise is to withstand it.

Li Che's troops followed him through many battles, and they were all veterans on the battlefield. Their treatment and equipment were much better than ordinary soldiers. Even if this line of defense was organized in a hurry, Li Che had the confidence to withstand it.

"I will be here. If you dare to retreat, kill me!"

Many figures appeared in the fire. They were Zhou soldiers in armor, each wearing skeleton masks, looking extremely ferocious. Li Che was not scared by this trick. He had killed many people after fighting for decades. This was a joke for him.

"Shoot the arrow! Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and the Sui army archers took the initiative, while these Zhou soldiers continued to advance with arrows. It was fine if those with rattan cards were not, but those who didn't get rattan cards were just arrows on their armor.

Someone was caught in several arrows like a hedgehog, but his pace did not slow down at all. He even bent his bow and arrows to draw them without firing them. It seemed that he was about to get close to the point and then shoot the arrows at close range.

"Go ahead, fight with them!"

After shooting the second round of arrows, the Sui soldiers drew their swords and attacked, but were knocked down halfway by the opponent's strong bow. The subsequent hand-to-hand combat started, and the Sui soldiers were about to collapse at one touch.

Zhou's troops with a skeleton mask were obviously stronger than the Sui soldiers. Each three teamed up to fight, with a variety of weapons in their hands, like small formations that defeated the slightly loose Sui soldiers.

Some Sui soldiers were slapped with an axe, some were peeled off their shoulders, some were hit by an opponent's head hammer, and their lives were lost with a knife. Seeing these Zhou soldiers so good at fighting, Li Che knew that he had met the elite vanguards.

"Kill! A Zhou soldier's head will always be rewarded with money!"

......

The next morning, after the rain, the sky was clear. In the military camp in the western suburbs of Luocheng, Huangzhou General Manager Yuwen Wen was looking at the map in the big tent. The messenger who had just rushed back from Liuxianping was reporting the results of the battle to him and the generals.

"Our army won a great victory last night, and broke through the Sui Army camp on Liuxianping. The defeated soldiers fled north and led the troops to chase after Chen's other generals. It was not until the early morning that the troops were withdrawn. There were countless bodies of Sui soldiers scattered along the way, and they are now converging."

"About 30% of the food and grass were burned down, and the rest were all obtained by our army. At the same time, weapons were seized, armor was counted, and there were more than a hundred war horses."

"When I was restraining my body, I saw a general who fell off a horse and died. After being identified by many surrendered soldiers, this person was the commander of the Sui army and the general manager of Bingzhou, Li Che."

"After the war, most of the Sui army in Liuxianping suffered casualties, and less than 30% of the remaining soldiers fled."

"Our army has suffered little casualties, and the bodies of those who died in the war have been curbed. Let's go back to Shangluo with the injured."

"It's a good job, it's really unexpected."

Yi Tong Liang Dingxing said with a smile, and turned around to ask Yuwen Wen for instructions: "General, will the last general lead troops to reinforce?"

"Let's go immediately, pass Liuxianping and leave Laojun Valley as planned, take down Jing Village at the entrance of the valley, build a village and build a building, and then talk about it after seeing the situation in Jiyang."

"I will obey the order!"

Liang Dingxing left, and a moment later, one person was brought in. It was Wang Bian, the captured Sui army commander-general.

"Wang Bian, there is no Sui army in Liuxianping, and the Bingzhou General Sima Li Che is finished. What do you think my official will do next?"

After hearing Yuwen Wen say this, Wang Bian remained silent. This time he attacked Shangluo, his troops crossing mountains and ridges were the main force, and the troops led by Li Che were the main force. Now that both routes have been completed, the Zhou army will inevitably go north to Laojun Valley and attack Jiyang dozens of miles west of the valley entrance.

After taking down Jiyang, the threat from Shangluo was lifted. There is no need to worry about being on guard against someone's sneak attack. Therefore, Zhou army is determined to win Jiyang. When the troops are at the city, what should his family and tribe members do?

"Wang Bian, I will inevitably take down Jiyang. The fate of the people in the city and the Wang clan is on you alone."

"What does the supervisor mean?"

"It's very simple. If you have three days to convince the Guardians of Jiyang to surrender, if you know the current affairs, I will not make things difficult for them. However, the people in the city will have to temporarily move to Shangluo and go back after the war is over."

Wang Bian was a little confused when he heard this: "Are you not afraid that Wang will not go back?"

"It doesn't matter. I am giving Ji Yang a chance, and I also give you a chance. Think clearly about it yourself, or not."

"Then... Wang is willing to give it a try."

Shi Wansui watched Wang Bian being taken out and whispered to remind Yuwen Wen: "General, it is the limit to take down Jiyang. If you have to pass the Shimen and Huayang River leaves Wengyu, the risk of a surprise attack on the Huashan County of Guanzhong is too great."
