Can a man with grass, a horse with a ring and a horse's hoof wrapped in cloth really be silent? This is a kind of fanciful imagination of a literati who has not personally gone to the battlefield and participated in the battle.
When a large group of people act, as long as they reach a certain number, they are also wearing boots (cloth). When people walk, there will be a trampling sound. How can there be no movement?
Even if it is a kind of imagination for all kinds of silent literary and artistic processing, the horseshoe wrapped in cloth is indeed useful. Otherwise, the movement of horseshoe trampling is too crisp and will not be the dull sound after wrapped in cloth.
People who know the common sense of sound wave transmission know that crisp sound represents stronger penetration. Once the sound is crisp to a certain extent, they can even easily tear off the eardrum, which can "tear" some glass objects.
If 3000 knights and at least 6000 war horses want to get closer to the target they want to sneak attack, what they can guarantee is that they don't make big noise artificially, but they can't avoid the noise made by 24000 horse hoofs wrapped in cloth trampling on the ground.
Under the dark night, the excessive burning of firewood reduced the brightness of the campfire. The awake hunnits first felt that they had some illusion. How could there be the sound of rolling thunder from afar.
At the next moment, a hunit who was the first to recover opened his mouth. He knew what caused the thunder in his head. He was extremely shocked. His head could not control his body for the time being. His open mouth seemed to have a stuttering disease suddenly. He kept repeating the first syllable he wanted to speak. It took the boss's strength to roar out the whole sentence.
"Enemy attack!!!"
The horse's hooves are wrapped in cloth and there is no sound when trampling? Not too many people, just try ten people to jump in place several times.
The weight of the horse itself, plus the load on the horse's back, is borne by the horse's hooves. Every trample under the flying hoof is no less than a drumstick beating a drum.
The hunites sleeping on the ground can feel the increasingly obvious vibration of the ground even if they are not awakened by the sound.
Depending on everyone's vigilance, hunit people who wake up in their sleep realize that the reaction arc of night attack is long and short. The first time they react is to turn over. When they rush out of the tent, they can see those people running around, and most of them will soon join the ranks of running around.
"All those who go out to investigate should be hanged!" Lekuma's face was blue with iron: "how could they... How dare they not find anything without so many enemies!"
Lekuma is also the name of a rotten street in Central Asia. His surname is zaiyaku. It can be traced back to the descendants of a large tribe of Arameans. He will appear here. He was ill before. Otherwise, he should stay on the front line as one of the commanders of the army.
Before the enemy really came in, the whole camp was in chaos. Some wanted to fight back, some were at a loss, and some wanted to escape, but there was no difference. It was meaningless running around.
Lekuma has no idea of suppressing chaos. He leads a group of people without any discipline, old and weak women and children who are not even a mob.
In fact, even for the regular army, if it falls into the bombing camp, there are at most some possibilities that can be stopped. It is impossible to calm down in a very short time.
Lekuma has not been familiar with any military books, but he knows that once more than 80% of people panic and run around, even if the God comes at that moment, it is impossible to calm people down. Once he wants to stop the chaos, the greatest possibility is to be involved in it and even hurt (killed) by the people dominated by fear.
"Mom, the team and horses are ready."
"How many people?"
"Two hundred people."
"Already very good."
Lekuma went out of the tent and saw the last scene he wanted to see.
Yingxiao will be the first chaos. People run around in the spirit of panic. Maybe there is a little friction in the process of running around.
People who are extremely frightened will not have much reason left. They will think that they are in absolute danger and subconsciously want to protect themselves.
It is the instinct of any creature to protect itself. That is to eliminate the possible threat to itself, it will become aggressive.
In the camp, I don't know who first waved weapons to whom, and then it evolved into an uncontrollable situation. Everyone seems to want to hurt themselves and don't want strangers to approach themselves. That is, unlimited self-defense leads to unlimited struggle.
"Untie all the cattle and sheep!" Lekuma turned on his horse and said, "liberate all horses."
Some people will carry out orders. The only reason for lekuma's doing so is that those animals will run around when they are free. The enemy who comes to attack does not have so much time to chase. They still have the opportunity to slowly close up behind. It is a very smart way to reduce losses.
A "drive!" After that, lekuma took people to start their own risk avoidance action. They will go to another position without movement. No one will be merciful in the way.
When Yang Su was at least a mile away from the enemy camp, he found the situation in the camp. He hardly thought about it and understood what had happened.
"I don't have to take care of the enemy for the time being." Yang Su shouted with the greatest voice: "our first goal is to eliminate herds!"
That's what happened! In the current state, whoever is involved will face a group of hysterical self-defense madmen. It is not easier to kill than in the normal state. Perhaps it should be more difficult to kill than usual. If you really want to kill, you must be prepared to cause heavy casualties.
"Separate some people." Yang Su drove the horse close to his Herald: "keep creating panic in the camp. Don't give them a chance to calm down."
In fact, Yang Su's current order has a preventive plan in advance, that is, before the real sneak attack, make a pre assumption of the possible situation, and then plan with the greatest possibility.
There are already fires in the camp, and the hunites have entered a more crazy stage.
In the face of danger, once they can't solve the threat, they will subconsciously want to escape. Most hunit people just enter the stage of trying to avoid danger. They use their best efforts to move to the periphery. Some calm down people know that they should get at least one horse to take the place of walking, or they can't escape even if they get out of the camp.
Everyone wants to escape the danger. In that way, everyone is the greatest threat. At this moment, even the most familiar people will not hesitate to wield weapons once they find that they may hinder their way forward.
The Han Army had investigated the location of herds and horses in advance. With their respective tasks, they felt the target position as fast as possible.
Some Han soldiers found that their herds or horses were released before they arrived.
Some Han troops met hunites who came to do something. Tonight, the first fight between Han troops and hunites also appeared.
"It was the hunites who were left behind." Nie Xing means it's too easy to deal with: "their leader is a smart man. He can think of such a move."
He Da wiped the bloody blade on the body on the ground and said, "he is really a smart man."
Instead of trying to organize resistance that could not be organized at all, they chose to release the herds and horses, so that the Han army could not slaughter all the herds and take away the settled horses.
"Send a team to chase." When Yang Su got the report, she was very depressed: "such a smart man can't let him live."
The hunit people don't pay attention to the camp. Everything seems so chaotic, but it is attached to their civilization level. There is no fire isolation belt in the messy tents and shacks. Once a fire is lit, it continues to spread along the wind direction. The fire is becoming more and more serious. The clouds in the sky can reflect the fire on the ground.
The hunites in the camp are still killing each other, while the Han Army has organized arson outside the camp.
The fire outside could stop the hunites from leaving the camp. The Han Army also caught and killed one of the hunites who broke out.
The rest of the Han army was to carry out the initial combat goal, kill all cattle, sheep and other livestock that could be found, and collect the found war horses.
Other things, such as baggage, are either the hunites who are crazy and kill each other in the camp, or the fire spreading everywhere. The Han army will not take this unnecessary risk.
"I can't hide the situation here." Yang Su looked at the clouds in the sky glowing with fire on the ground: "the enemy will be reinforced soon."
Before the operation, they have conducted enough investigation around. In addition to this hunit logistics force, there are three or four hunit forces with more or less scale nearby, of which the nearest hunit force can arrive in half an hour.
"Our task is to destroy the enemy's logistics." Yang Su looked around at the officer who listened to the order: "my opinion is that we can retreat."
The army should have a clear goal. It should not make mistakes just when it thinks about them. After the combat goal is achieved, it should retreat without delay.
An officer wanted to suggest an ambush against the hunites who would come to support him, but he stopped talking several times.
There were only more than 3000 hunites who would come to support in half an hour. Yang Su gave up the ambush after perfect thinking.
If you want to ambush, you must first determine the marching route of the hunit people and consider the appropriate ambush location. The process must take some time.
If they guessed the right hunit March route and successfully ambushed, they should not forget that the terrain of this place is plain, and the hunit who came to help will also be cavalry.
On the premise of the same cavalry, it is not an ambush that can wipe out the whole. At most, it is to defeat and disperse. To achieve greater results, it is to carry out a series of chase wars.
"We don't have that much time." Yang Su said why there were no extraneous problems: "we also have other tasks!"
The officers who tried to stop talking again and again showed a smile. One day they will understand why some people can command a battle, while others can only be commanded. Isn't it to make the right decision when you need to make a choice?
The three thousand Han troops, who did not lose one person, took nearly an hour to disappear, and began to retreat with the collected horses.
Behind their departure was the burning camp. The fire reflected some areas, where there were dead cattle and sheep. There was so much blood that it gathered to the low-lying area and became a blood depression.
Lekuma was not chased and killed. During his escape, he watched the Han army leave from a distance. At the same time, he also watched the camp that became a sea of fire. When the reinforcements came, they didn't show up until the East turned white.
The fire is still burning in the camp. The nose is full of burnt smell. Human charred corpses lie in some areas where the fire stops.
"You ran away like a coward?" Ahmadi stared at lekuma with red eyes and said with gnashing teeth, "you should be hanged!"
"If you were present, there would be no better result." Lekuma didn't think he was defending, but telling the truth: "you've seen Ying Xiao and know what the situation is."
Of course, Ahadi knows what yingxiao is. It's a group of calm people who kill each other. There's no reason for crazy people. Knowing what will happen does not mean that he accepts such a result. He still stares at lekuma. He is extremely patient and afraid that the tribe behind lekuma did not cut people with a knife.
"We already know that there is such a Han army behind, and we can see what their goal is." Lekuma smiled: "since you know what they want to do, you can destroy them!"
The hunites... Or any army, could not concentrate all their logistical resources together.
In particular, the logistics forces carrying a large number of herds of livestock are extremely forage consuming animals, and the excessive herds are concentrated in one piece, which can not be supplied at all.
Fifty thousand hunit soldiers joined the front line, followed by at least 200000 hunit people who were ensuring the logistics of the army. Only one of them was attacked by the Han army.
"I want to get to the nearest camp. You can go, but..." lekuma looked at the more than 2000 cavalry not far away: "they are under my control."
Ahadi refused without even thinking about it. When he was about to speak, he found himself floating up. At the last moment when his consciousness fell into darkness, he saw a headless body standing in situ spewing blood.
"His poor support led to the destruction of the camp!" Lekuma yelled at the people who were about to draw a knife: "you should know what the surname zaiyaku stands for!"
The hunites brought by ahdi were stunned when they heard the words "zaiyaku", and finally chose to salute and express their willingness to accept the dispatch.
Someone needs to be responsible for the loss of this place. Ahadi, who has his head cut off, will be a good candidate, not only because he doesn't support in time, but also because he doesn't have a good surname.
