Chapter 560

On July 198, 7 A.D., the imperial army set up an army in Linying, numbering 1 troops.Li Ming made a strong formation in Yin (to Yinjiayin). Counting the 80 soldiers Wanling had just compiled and trained, including Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Xiu's troops, there were 20 soldiers, 50 auxiliary soldiers, and an army of [-].

One hundred thousand soldiers versus 40 soldiers, no matter how you look at it, it is an unequal battle.Especially some time ago, the young general named Sun Ce was able to draw with Li Ming, and the title of 'Little Overlord' was naturally even more resounding.

"It seems that Liu Ting is determined to win!" Li Ming looked at the endless barracks opposite, "It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, how far can you hold on? No?"

"It has been distributed according to the master's order! I have stocked up a lot, and I can replenish it at any time!" Mi Zhu clasped his hands and replied.

Chuhou Xingjun Powder, this is a drug jointly developed by Li Ming and Hua Tuo. It is used to treat heatstroke caused by hot weather.At the same time, a large amount of thenardite and a large amount of water are also the key to cooling down the army.

Glauber's salt and water can be made into ice, which cannot be eaten directly, but through the concept of heat conduction, ice water can be made with the help of these ices, and real ice cubes can even be made in a sealed state.Each barracks would regularly have a large piece of ice to cool down, and the water supply was unlimited, and most of the soldiers were from the south, so even in July and August, there was no problem.

"Here comes the problem!" Li Ming looked at Liu Ting's camp, "Is it because they couldn't stand the heat and retreated first, or they couldn't stand the heat, and they put all their eggs in one basket to kill us?!"

"In the end, I still can't stand the heat..." Guo Jia couldn't help complaining. In fact, he felt that this lord was indeed amazing. He could ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the greatest extent in winter, and he could also ensure the combat effectiveness of soldiers in summer.

In the past, battles were often fought during the warming of spring and before midsummer; or after the autumn harvest and before winter. If there was a battle in the former, it was likely to delay farming.

Few people fought in winter. After all, this was an era without cotton. Emperor Yang of Sui crusade against Goryeo, and non-combat reductions in winter directly dragged down the army.The price of fur is so expensive, and the quantity needed in the army is so large, who would purchase so many furs at one go to arm soldiers?Not to mention that it's really winter, and fur alone can't stand it!
Needless to say, in summer, leather armor is fine, such as the scale armor on Li Ming, which is well ventilated.However, most officers above the military marquis wear iron armor, which can be used for frying eggs after two hours of exposure to the hot sun.

"It's not in vain to spend more than half a month with the lord, but the layout of the various places has been properly arranged, and it is hard to find a fighter!" Guo Jia praised Li Ming without leaving a trace, and then remonstrated.

"I'm very clear about this. The time is almost up. When the weather is completely hot... No matter, send the order now and let all the ministries go all out!" Li Ming nodded. At first, he planned to give the order in a few days, and thought about the military order carefully. It will take some time to pass it on to other places, so let's pass it on now.

"Here!" Guo Jia smiled, as long as Li Ming can understand the key points.

At the same time, Liu Ting really started to scold his mother. In July, the weather started to heat up, and the entire tent itself had no insulation facilities, so it became extremely hot immediately.

"Damn Li Ming, why did he choose to call at this time?" Liu Ting was only wearing a single shirt at the moment, and there were attendants on both sides fanning him to relieve the heat, holding a glass of water in his hand, which he already drank. It's the third glass of water.

"In the past, when Yuan Shu invaded Jiujiang County and called himself Yangzhou Mu, Li Ming went north to fight against it in winter. The soldiers' hands and feet became stiff in winter, their combat effectiveness declined, and their weapons became brittle and easy to break. It was at this time that he launched the attack and consumed There are quite a few weapons, but the number of soldiers has not decreased much, which shows that they have done a good job of keeping warm.

The subordinates thought that not only did Li Ming have the means to keep warm in winter, but he was also prepared to prevent heatstroke and cool down in summer.The seasons of war that we've been used to all along mean nothing to him.For him, it's either not playing, or playing whenever he wants. "Xun You, as the military adviser this time, stepped forward to remind him.

To be honest, he also felt bad at the moment, especially now that the whole camp smelled of sweat.In the army, there is no condition to take a bath every day. At most, simply wipe it with a towel. When the weather is hot, the smell is comparable to poisonous gas.

"This... No, we don't need to fight each other if this continues, the heat can kill us! We must finish the battle before the weather is completely hot, otherwise let alone 80, 800 million is meaningless !" Liu Ting had the phrase 'MMP' in his heart, and he definitely said that Li Ming would be on alert throughout the year after such a toss.

The key is that the number of people is too large to be a problem. There are no 80, but there are 60. The auxiliary soldiers transport supplies and food back and forth, but they don’t say anything, but nearly 40 soldiers are crowded in the barracks, and 40 big men are scattered. Ordinary people can feel the heat coming out as soon as they approach the barracks.

"Tomorrow, order Wu Lan and Yang Huai to test and test, and at the same time let Sun Ce and Ma Dai prepare for the general attack!" Liu Ting thought for a while, and immediately issued the order.

"Follow the order!" Xun You bowed his hands and accepted the order. This battle really cannot be dragged on.

The next day, only the drums of the imperial court's army roared, and soon the army began to gather. Wu Lan and Yang Huai led an army of [-] to march out. Behind them, Sun Ce and Ma Dai led infantry and cavalry, also staring at them.

"It seems that they are not stupid? After taking advantage of us for so many days, they are finally enlightened?" Naturally, Li Ming was not slow here, and soon a hundred thousand soldiers were ready, and more than 100 catapults were also ready. .I have to say that the other party was really naive, and they actually gave enough time to set up these more than 100 medium-sized catapults.

"Want to attack? Let them calm down first, the catapult is ready!" Li Ming turned his head and shouted, Chen Heng accepted the order happily.

"Enemy one mile ahead, aim!" Chen Heng immediately turned his head and gave an order, and the soldiers adjusted the projection angle of the catapult one after another, until Chen Heng shouted again, "Throw stones!"

This time the trebuchet projected not a piece of stone, but a lot of shotgun.It took a lot of time to collect these things, but the effect is also outstanding. Irregularly shaped stones are more likely to cause contusions or scratches on the body. Even if they can't kill people, they can kill people, bleeding die.

Not all trebuchets are shotguns of this kind. The more than 20 trebuchets in front of them are all encircled-sized stone projectiles. They are directly polished to be round and projected directly. On the ground, the probability of continuing to roll is also very high.

Where these stone bullets passed, among other things, one or two soldiers in front were either dead or maimed. If they were unlucky, a short bloody road was plowed out like this.Wu Lan and Yang Huai hadn't started charging yet, and if they and their personal guards hadn't practiced Qi and had good equipment, they might have become victims.

More than 2000 of the [-] soldiers died as soon as they met each other, and most of the rest were killed, and they were smashed into a daze.
