There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 420
"Don't attack for now, let them cross the river first? Wait for my order."

Li Chu answered the hundred generals on the walkie-talkie.

"Follow the order."

There is a saying in the art of war that "strike it halfway across".

The so-called attacking halfway across the river means that the opponent is crossing the river. Do not attack when the opponent is crossing the river. This will scare the opponent and cause the opponent to retreat in time and not cross the river.Waiting until the other side is halfway across the river before attacking. This will cause the soldiers crossing the river to panic and lose their combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that it will directly cut off the enemy from the important part, so that the enemy cannot be connected head to tail. This military order and coordination cannot be coordinated, and morale and military spirit will also be lost. At this time, an attack will achieve unexpected results.

When almost half of these bandits crossed the Grand Canal, which hundred generals came to ask again.

Obviously, he also learned the strategy of attacking halfway through the training of the Qilin Army.

"No hurry, just wait."

Li Chu once again rejected the hundred generals.

It's good to strike halfway, but it also depends on the situation and the purpose of the mission.

Using Lu Shipang as an introduction can certainly gather the [-] bandit soldiers in Danyang back to attack Danyang, but this strategy can only be used for a while, not for a long time.

What if he is an enemy and just shows off?
For example, choose half of the people to besiege the city, surround Danyang, besiege without attacking, and then wipe out the remaining half of the people. On the one hand, you can open up the letter with Jiangning, and second, you will naturally get more from Changzhou. The news from the Jintan and the news from the Jintan, as long as the guards are not stupid, they can definitely guess that this time the Qilin army came all the way and then abandoned the city.

The most important thing is, who will benefit most from the death of Lu Shinang?
The reason why they are allowed to come is that Dayi and the officials have to come, but they don’t have to fight when they come, as long as they get here, they have fulfilled their obligations. If Fang La presses the question, they say that forcibly attacking the city will cause Lu Shi Nang was beheaded by the Qilin Army.

What Li Chu wants to do now is to cut off these people's escape route.

It doesn't matter whether you attack or not, as long as you come here, don't even think about going back!

At this time, the bandit soldiers who were crossing the river below also noticed that the sky was different. Seeing so many densely packed colorful dots appeared in the sky, they immediately reported to the leader of the bandit soldiers, Xu Tong.

Xu Tong looked up at the sky, looking at these colorful dots, he always felt a sense of depression in his heart.

"Hurry up, speed up, the rest of the people hurry to cross the river."

Although he doesn't know what these things are, he always feels a dangerous breath, but if they are meteorites, looking at these things in the sky, they seem to be fixed on the sky, and there is no trace of rapid falling like meteorites .

Because of this, he didn't feel danger at the first time, but his sixth sense always made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he always felt a bit in danger.

Li Chu made the hot air balloon troops stop at a reliable and safe altitude.

The thieves crossing the river below were rushing to cross the river, and their every move was monitored by Li Chu with binoculars.

After the last batch of bandits boarded the ship, Li Chu gave the order: "Everyone prepare, let go."

Following this order, the soldiers on the bamboo basket of the hot air balloon took out the incendiary bottles one after another, ignited them and threw them down.

In order to ensure the fire rate and success rate, Li Chu was a little more adventurous this time. The custom-made incendiary bottles are all thin-skinned bottles. At such a high height, even if thrown on the river, they will shatter, which means the risk is high. One point, it is more prone to rupture than normal incendiary bottles, and if one does not operate well, it is easy to ignite himself first.

One after another, flaming bottles were poured down from the sky.

The soldiers threw the bottles very fast, dropping one after another.

At such a high altitude, the accuracy of this fall is also much worse. Most of the bottles did not hit the boats on the river, but hit the river surface. The characteristic effect of the thin skin was reflected. After these bottles fell , More than [-]% of them burst on the river surface. The gasoline is not compatible with drinking water. The gasoline floats on the river surface, and the fire of burning * bottles quickly ignites the river surface.

This ignition is a sea of ​​fire.

And those incendiary bottles that were still on the ship, when they were blown up, gasoline splashed, and flames were everywhere. Some unlucky thieves were directly hit in the forehead by the incendiary bottle, and they turned into flames in an instant. The fire engulfed him whole.

One two three.

The flaming bottles in the sky are densely packed, these are Yan Luoye's life-threatening talismans, and wherever they are pasted, people will die tragically!
One boat, two boats.

Not to mention the boats, the entire section of the canal was covered in raging fire.

And those ships that carried troops across the river burned even more violently. The ancient ships were all made of wood, and wood itself can start a fire. None ran.

Someone wanted to jump into the river, but the river was already covered in flames, how could the less courageous dare to jump?
If you are brave enough to jump down, if you are lucky, you will sink directly to the bottom of the water. If you are unlucky, part of your body will be burned by the fire on the river surface.

The fire is impossible to burn, but there is something more violent than the fire.

That is oxygen!
The entire river is already covered in flames, and there is no place that is not burning. You can dive for a while, but what about the time?

How many minutes can you dive for?

What do you do when you run out of oxygen?
People's survival instinct makes these people subconsciously go upstream when they are short of oxygen. This time, the river surface is covered with a sea of ​​flames. During the fire, this small section of the river surface has no oxygen, and the oxygen has also been lifted into the air. The oxygen has not been absorbed yet. On the contrary, the whole head was burned by the fire first.

Ah!
There was a miserable cry, and even above the hot air balloon, the misery from below could still be heard.

Some people go downstream immediately after diving, but throwing Molotov cocktails down is too inaccurate, and the extent of the burning river is more than a little bit?

Not only on the river, but also on the river bank, there was chaos and screams.

The Molotov cocktails were too poorly aimed. On the west bank of the canal, these thieves who crossed the river were also affected. A lot of bottles fell into their crowd, and the nest exploded in an instant. It wasn't just one person who was burning.

Xu Tong is the leader of this bandit army.

As commander, he was obliged to wait on the shore until all the soldiers had crossed the canal.

Xu Tong was unlucky under the inaccurate attack of a Molotov cocktail, a Molotov cocktail fell right under his feet, the bottle shattered, gasoline splashed onto his feet, and the fire immediately destroyed his feet. Burned.

Human clothes, human fat, these are all good things to fuel combustion.
