Two hundred and sixty-six, danger
The sun sets, the light is dim, the sky is gradually dim, the area of the camp on the ground is almost the same as half of the size of Luzhou City, crisscrossing and orderly, with fire in the camp and smoke rising into the sky, everything seems peaceful and quiet.
But the danger is approaching.
What is the Tiger and Wolf Master?
People often like to use numbers to compare the strength of both sides. How many soldiers and horses do you have and how many generals I have, but the results often show that numbers can only be used for deterrence, and people cannot be predicted by a bunch of numbers.
If you look at the history of human wars, you will find that it is very strange, chaotic and disorderly, and it is difficult to find solid and reliable objective laws. The more the turning point of fate is, the more critical the war is, the more the result is often more confusing and unexpected.
At that time, Darius, Persian, had an army of more than 100,000, and was full of confidence. Alexander only had 40,000 to 50,000. As a result, Darius, who was full of confidence, was beaten to settle down and settle down.
Yuan Shao's army was more than 100,000 in the Battle of Guandu, and he was full of confidence. According to the official history "The Three Kingdoms", in the early days of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had only a few thousand troops. As a result, Yuan Shao, who was full of confidence, was beaten to his hometown and died in depression. The most powerful princes at that time fell from then on.
When he arrived at Chibi, Cao Cao was full of confidence. The 200,000 troops headed south. The Sun-Liu alliance was trembling. As a result, Cao Cao, who was full of confidence, was defeated by Zhou Yu and left Huarong, and he had no chance to unify China in his entire life.
When it came to the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei held more than 100,000 troops and was full of confidence to fight the Eastern Wu to the death. As a result, Liu Bei, who was full of confidence, was beaten by the young Lu Xun to entrust Baidi City and died in hatred.
In the Tang Dynasty, Tongtian and Tianhe were born in the Eastern Turkic Khan, and hundreds of thousands of people were under the tent of Wang Tingya. As a result, they were chased by two hundred cavalrymen on Su Dingfang and killed them to run away. When most of the Tang army arrived, they almost captured tens of thousands of men and women and tens of thousands of livestock without bloodshed.
The Liao Dynasty, which claimed to be armed with millions and was full of soldiers, had a army of 700,000. It was defeated by Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu and defeated 20,000 people. From then on, there was a myth that the Jurchens were dissatisfied with tens of thousands and were invincible.
Human war is so chaotic and unpredictable, it is difficult to find objective laws, or the magic weapon to win, so it is so risky and so exciting.
Sometimes I can't help but think that a person's muscle strength has an upper limit. No matter how powerful it is, the gap between individuals cannot be so big. Two hundred people chased and fought for more than 100,000, and twenty thousand people defeated seven hundred thousand! It was like a dream, very unreal...
In fact, this is more real. Humans are complex and chaotic creatures, so the result of chaos, which is unexpected, is more in line with human laws.
Many times humans do not determine victory or defeat by force.
For example, the Soviet Union's power and demise, how powerful is the Soviet army? The display of 3.5 million troops, and the nuclear arsenal can blow up the land around the world, aircraft, tanks, surface warships, underwater submarines, space stations, space shuttles, orbital satellites...
The Soviet Union was almost so powerful that people dared not want to defeat it with force, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared. Just like the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, when people did not dare to defeat it, it was instantly destroyed.
This is human, complex, chaotic and fragile human.
Born as a human being, he is not a god, not holistic, nor omnipotent, but everyone is thinking and conscious. Thinking produces differences. Differences lead to collisions, collisions splash sparks, and human hearts are complex.
It is also because of this that humans try to establish order in chaos and disorder, and then they are defeated again and again, repeating and constantly improving.
The human heart determines the outcome.
What is the Tiger and Wolf Master?
A group of people who cannot eat are hungry wolves, and a group of people who fight for survival are tigers!
Survival and reproduction, the innate instinct of human beings.
What is the easiest part of survival? It is to eat, intake of energy, and maintain the body's functioning.
The reason why wild beasts are called wild beasts is different from humans because they survive by instinct, eat when they are hungry, and fight back when they are threatened. Fear, timidity, bondage, and longing will hardly affect them.
Humans are also creatures. When people are forced to be driven only by instinct, they are the most terrifying beasts in the world! They are even more terrifying than wolves and tigers.
Li Xingzhou didn't know why the people in the rebel camp did not notice their arrival earlier, because he found the sentinel point where the other scouts were squatting in the forest, and the nearest sentinel point was only about thirty miles away from Luzhou City, and the Shenji Camp also shot and killed several scouts who had not had time to run away.
He was ready to use artillery to bombard the camp gate, but the rebels were not prepared at all, and the main gate of the camp facing north was still open.
No matter what, he was prepared and the army in the forest began to beat the drums.
Led by many soldiers in the wing army, hungry crowds surged out like a tide. Not only the tens of thousands of people from Guanyin Temple, but also the rural brave people who came from all over the world after hearing the news from Luzhou. He didn't know how many, but there were definitely more than the rebels.
When the drum sounded and the crowd rushed out of the woods like a wave and rushed towards the rebel camp, the Shenji Camp beside Li Xingzhou also opened fire at the same time. Three hundred people fired in turn, targeting the main entrance of the camp. The high ground was one mile away from the front gate of the camp.
The range of firearms is limited, and the effective range of modern rifles is about 400 meters, but the effective range does not mean that the gun can only shoot so far. In many cases, the firefighting distance is far greater than 400 meters. In fact, the rifle bullet can easily hit a distance of 400 meters. It is just that after more than 400 meters, the accuracy decreases, the shooting position cannot be controlled, and the power of the bullet begins to decay.
The same is true for the firearm. If you want the Shenji Camp to concentrate on hitting, it must be within 200 meters. This distance is far beyond the range of the crossbow. However, Li Xingzhou does not need accuracy, the accuracy is insufficient, and the density is enough. All he needs is to make the sentries in front of the camp gate not have time to close the door.
Bullets roared in the dusk night, and three hundred people shot in turn, and the whole mountain was filled with harsh explosions.
In the distance, with the rebel camp as the center, there were rock chips flying in the surrounding area and wooden stakes exploded. Four terrified guards were knocked down before they understood anything. Someone shouted behind them and wanted to rush up to close the door, but they fell to the ground in an instant.
The rebels near the camp gate were frightened. Not knowing what happened, a few people were still eating and left their bowls and chopsticks and looked at the gate in horror.
Hearing the continuous unknown sounds like thunder in the mountains, he was shocked and several fleeing back in fear, while the Shenji Camp was still shooting. They could not see the bullets flying at the speed of sound, only knowing that someone fell down like a ghost, and that fear was even more heartbroken than death.
The tide of people outside the camp had taken advantage of this opportunity to pour in instantly. The Shenji Camp stopped shooting to prevent accidental injuries, and the outposts in the northern camp were in chaos.
A crowd of black people continued to pour in, like wild beasts roaring in all directions. For them, the aroma of rice and meat in the camp was like a fatal temptation.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the situation in the entire camp.
The rebels near the main gate were caught off guard and then collapsed at once. Many people fled backwards, and some people climbed over the fence but forgot to resist the horse outside the camp gate. They were pierced in panic and cried miserably for help but no one paid attention.
More people were swept up by the black crowd and then drowned, some were beaten to death, and some were trampled to death.
Several gunmen on guard reacted and stabbed the people to death, but the people of Luzhou were like wild beasts who were not afraid of death. On the front and behind, several gunmen were instantly driven by hatchets and hoes, and flooded the crowd.
The rebels in the middle camp heard the riots and shouts of killing, and hurriedly assembled hundreds of people in the middle of the camp, but they collapsed in a moment because the people rushed from all directions, hundreds of times that of theirs, and they were quickly surrounded and killed.
Seeing this tragic situation, the remaining rebels in the middle camp did not dare to resist at all, and threw away their armor and fled to the south of the camp.
The front fled, and the rebels who had just been dressed in a hurry in the rear camp didn't know what happened. They just saw the front army crying and fleeing, and their heads were bleeding. They thought they were defeated, but they didn't know what the enemy was. Seeing the front army crying and crying, they immediately became scared. The rear army, which was several times more rioting than the front army, also threw away their armor and ran away, without any action at all.
