Chapter 118: Three become tigers

It was attacked again, and the Jin army suffered nearly 40 casualties, and more than 400 young and middle-aged Han men were lost.

Huang Yi somewhat overestimated the mobility of the Hou Jin Army.

Thinking that they would hit the road immediately after stopping the chaos, they sent Huang Daquan and Liu Chuanzong to follow and monitor them.

Who would have known that the Hou Jin army had not moved out of their nests, but was thinking of ways to deal with the Han people who might riot at any time.

These barbarians are simple-minded and of course they can't think of any good solution. They just tie them up with ropes.

It is impossible to tie them in large groups, but to tie every thirty young and middle-aged Han people into a bunch.

It's not about tying both hands, it's about tying one arm.

The purpose is to prevent a young man from suddenly throwing down the grain bag on his shoulder and running into the woods after he is on the road.

The loss of more than twenty coat servants and bannermen is nothing, but the loss of forty-five Jurchens is a huge crime.

Kamuge and Choctaw were both going crazy.

In addition, more than a hundred young and middle-aged Han people were killed, and a total of nearly six hundred escaped. Neither of them knew how to deal with each other after returning.

There are less than 1,300 young Han men left in the camp, and only about 1,600 including Han women.

Fortunately, there was basically no loss of property, livestock, or food.

After finally stabilizing the situation, it was past noon. Kamuge and Chokoto discussed it and decided not to leave today at all, but to rest on the spot and leave tomorrow at the fourth watch.

Those damned Guan Ning troops will definitely come to harass us again!

In Kamuge, Chuoktuo has already inspected the outposts at the outposts that were sniped by Huang Yi.

They came to the conclusion that the Guan Ning army that came here to entangle was just a master of crossbow shooting.

This master is extremely powerful and has a very good eye. He can quietly approach the sentry under the cover of night and kill him silently with a powerful crossbow.

How to guard against it?

Kamuge and Chuoktuo, the two white-armored soldiers, thought about it and came up with a countermeasure.

The countermeasures discussed by the two barbarians were actually very simple.

At least two people should be dispatched to the open and hidden posts. The crossbow master will be discovered after he shoots at most one sentry.

The question is, what can we do if we find out?

At one moment and another, Chokoto was giving up on Kamuge, which was losing men and horses one after another, and would not lead his troops out of camp at night to pursue them anyway.

They originally wanted to cut down some trees to surround the camp, but the workload was too heavy and could not be completed with the remaining dozens of coated slaves and flag men.

Why not send more than a thousand young and middle-aged Han people to cut down trees?

Of course Kamuge and Chokoto had thought about it, but they didn't dare.

They must be given axes to cut down trees. Those Han people dare to rebel with their bare hands, but what if they have an ax in their hands?

It's not that the armored soldiers couldn't deal with the Han people with axes, but that they would rush out suddenly and swing their axes to chop them, so they would definitely be hard to guard against.

The Armored Man's losses have already been great and he cannot afford to lose more.

In the final analysis, their troops are not enough. If there are another hundred armored soldiers, why should they fear that the young and middle-aged Han people will be disobedient!

As night fell, all the bonfires and lights in the Houjin Army camp were extinguished. Kamuge and Choctaw rested in a large tent in the middle of the camp.

There are still twenty soldiers waiting here!

Fires are prohibited in the entire camp, and only the large cowhide tent is lit with fire.

Of course, the fire only illuminated the inside of the tent, and the light did not penetrate to the outside.

The twenty armored soldiers in this big tent are definitely the backbone of this team, and they are also the only remaining capital of Kamuge and Chokotto.

The purpose of gathering them together is not only to prevent being sniped by the Ming army who is good at shooting crossbows, but also has another purpose that has not been announced yet.

At the second watch, Huang Yi's men, including all the Han people who had just taken refuge, were in high spirits.

Huang Yi had already told everything about tonight's plan, and no one was there without comment.

Not only the soldiers brought by Huang Yi were full of fighting spirit, but also the newly joined young men Liu Han, Chang Yongshan, Kang Jing, etc. were simply impatient.

Because they all have relatives, friends, neighbors, and even brothers and sisters who are in the team under the custody of the Jin Army.

It was necessary to have a hearty meal before the war. Not only the horse meat and pancakes, but also all the cured meats were eaten.

This battle will be won! There is no need to save.

Because if you win, you will definitely be able to seize too much grain, bacon, and ham...

At midnight, Huang Yi's men and horses all arrived in the woods not far from Hou Jinjun's camp.

This is the battlefield of the Jin army after the ambush at the fourth watch yesterday.

It is known that the Hou Jin army will not receive reinforcements in a short period of time, and it is known that the number of their remaining armored soldiers will not exceed 70, so there is no need to worry about exposing the target.

Anyway, the Hou Jin army must have known that Huang Yi's men and horses had been peeping nearby, and they were always on guard against being raided again.

This is no longer a conspiracy, but a complete conspiracy.

The Hou Jin army knew that they would be attacked again and waited on guard.

Huang Yi, Geng Zhanghua, Liu Chuanzong and dozens of others also knew that the barriers to building slaves tonight must be tight.

But everyone doesn't care.

Darkness is the best cover.

Geng Zhanghua already knew that Huang Yi had an artifact that could provide night vision.

I also know that there is probably no other artifact like this in the world. It was brought back by Huang Yi from the Franji Kingdom thousands of miles away.

This kind of artifact is unique in Franji Country. It was accidentally obtained by the most skilled craftsmen. If it is made again, it can achieve the effect of seeing far away, but it cannot achieve night vision.

Of course, this is all Huang Yi's explanation. Three people become tigers, and now this statement has become the truth.

The Chinese believe this kind of accidental rhetoric.

Because the legendary famous sword "Gan Jiang, Mo Xie" was obtained accidentally, it is impossible to copy the famous sword using the same raw materials and the same making method.

Huang Yi left some room for bragging.

Because historically, probably in the early years of Chongzhen, a European missionary presented an astronomical telescope to Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, telescopes were indeed rare, but not impossible, and Huang Yi's night vision telescope was unique.

Therefore, Huang Yi's explanation was that he got it by chance. The reason why he rushed back to the Central Plains was because he was worried that the artifact he got by chance would be coveted by the Western Yi.

Geng Zhanghua has been following Huang Yi, and of course Huang Yi has lent him the telescope several times.

Although he was shocked, he remained calm because he had heard of such a thing as a telescope, and knew that a telescope could see things several miles away as if they were very close at hand.

Later, the Jin army put on a tight defensive posture. In order to prevent being shot by the cunning and vicious steel crossbows, bunkers were used on both open posts and hidden sentries.

Instead of digging holes on the spot to make shelters, large and small circles were built using grain bags, oxcarts or horse-drawn carriages.

Anyway, the camp of the Hou Jin Army was completely dark, with all the sentinels hiding behind the bunkers to peer around.
Chapter completed!
