C1031 Mysterious Oriental Tactics (1/2)
The brown army was a name that terrified the armies of the Chile and the Bolivia. Those Chinese who could defeat the entire saltpeter mining area's guards with their bare hands and then easily repel the rescue regular army were simply a bunch of God Slaying Fairies from hell.
They came and went, they scattered, they waved a triangular flag they had never seen before, and on it were words no one knew.
They were very good at creating chaos. They would not let their opponents know the direction of their attack, and when you were disturbed by the chaos of flags and voices, you would soon find that the war had entered a period of close combat.
An extremely long and heavy taiping knife was not something that a bayonet and a light sword could defend against. In addition, these people were all attacking crazily, not caring about their own life or death.
The fear created by the brown army was far greater than that of the regular army of the Chile. Although most of the battles had been fought by the regular army, people still felt a natural fear towards strange things.
And today, when the brown army's banner was released, the pressure on the troops was immediately multiplied by several times. Especially the Indian Mercenaries s who were messing around, they were all panicking in panic and their faces were filled with fear.
The commanders of the Peru on the fort did not know how many brown army had arrived. They saw that the military formations to the south and east were filled with shaking triangular flags and the sound of drums. Adding on the fact that the cannons of the Chile Army had already started firing, the smoke from the explosion of the black gunpowder began to pervade the air, causing the entire battlefield to be shrouded in a layer of fog.
”How many enemies are there? Twenty or thirty thousand? How many brown army s were there? Looking at the banner, it was at least 20,000, could it be that all the information was wrong? Are there not 10,000 more Chinese reinforcements crossing the Pacific Ocean? ”
”Protect the fort and don't hold back on ammunition. Continue firing …” Those brown army are all crazy people who like to be beheaded, aren't you afraid of being beheaded? ”Don't panic and continue shooting …”
Ikek Hong Kong welcomed the first rays of sun in a battle to the brim.
There was a small oasis called Osara, located twenty-five kilometers east of Ikek. There were only a dozen or so families that lived there, and although they couldn't grow crops, these residents could still live by selling supplies to the travelling merchants.
When modern man heard the phrase ”desert”, his first impression should have been of the Sahara Desert, and the Chinese people thought more about the Taklimakan Desert. However, the real droughts of humans were not located there, but on the continent of South America, Atacama.
There had been 16 years of extremely dry weather here before, and not even a trace of life could be found in the core desert. Even single-celled organisms didn't exist, and they were known as the closest region to the topography of Mars.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, American and European scientists had built a laboratory here to simulate the topography of Mars and study how to let humans live on Mars.
A NASA scientist once said, ”Everywhere on Earth, even in the heart of the Sahara Desert, if you scoop up a piece of soil, at least you can see under a microscope a single-celled organism, the simplest form of bacteria. And in the soil of Atacama, you can't even find bacteria … ”
In this kind of extreme drought, only the border areas would have some oases, and Osara was located at the northern border of the desert, closer to the Peru's side.
More than twenty thousand of Bolivia's allied forces were stationed near the Oasis of Oaxaca last night. It was here that they encountered the unprecedented 'Holocaust'.
