C1031 Mysterious Oriental Tactics (2/2)

Taiping Army's attack started at midnight. More than twenty thousand tents were arranged densely on the ground, covering dozens of acres. The light from the torches shined on the desert, making it look like a sleepless city.

At the quietest moment of the night, a torrential gunshot suddenly rang out from the south, followed by countless drumbeats and flags fluttering in the air. In the darkness of the night, countless figures began to rush towards the camp.

The patrolling sentry had only fired two warning shots before he was nailed to the desert by the rain of arrows from the crossbows. Countless torches lit up at the same time and rushed towards the Luo Jun's camp like a tide.

The chaos woke up all the soldiers. People came out of their tents to pick up their weapons sleepily. Just as they were about to counterattack, they realized that they were no longer wearing pants and their shoes could no longer be found.

The camp was filled with noisy curses. You complained about the loss of your pants, he complained about the loss of his bullets, and he even complained about the situation of having his rifle taken wrongly … The Luo Jun commander was so angry that she started to curse. Only after a quarter of an hour of the attack did he manage to gather a battalion of troops to launch a counterattack at the area where the attack took place.

At this time, the camp closest to the south had already become a sea of fire. Amidst the crowd, there were only a few frightened words repeating back and forth, ”brown army …” Chinese... brown army... ”Chinese...”

It was indeed the brown army, those raiders who were holding taiping knife s had a large number of Musketeers s and crossbowmen protecting them, these warrior warriors directly tried to kill and set fire to the terrifying atmosphere, many of the Luo Jun s' heads just came out from their tents, only seeing a cold light flash and the taiping knife s had chopped off his head.

The torches lit up the canvas and cowhide tents. Soldiers in pajamas jumped out screaming and rolling back and forth on the sand.

Of course, there were some soldiers who joined forces to fight back, but the chaos had already broken out and the Chinese were entangled with the retreating troops.

When the soldiers from the other areas of the camp arrived in formation to provide support, all they could see were soldiers running around like alpacas, and flames shooting up into the sky.

All they could hear was the Chinese shouting, ”Peace...” Kill! Taiping... Kill! ”

”Array... Intense Shooting... ”Chase them back …” The Luo Jun Battalion Commander spoke with a trembling voice. Following his order, the 1st Battalion divided into three rows and started shooting as if they were lined up. The frontline guns then fired a dense barrage of bullets, causing the brown army across from him to instantly fall.

”Retreat... Taiping Army, retreat! ” The Taiping Army who sneaked an attack on him didn't want to keep fighting. Seeing the enemies appear, he turned around and left, and before he left, he even threw all the torches onto the tent. Very quickly, they became one with the darkness.

”Keep firing! Ammunition! You bunch of trash … Fire! ” Unfortunately, no matter how much he urged them, the speed at which they loaded their guns wouldn't increase. When they fired their second round, those Chinese people had already run off to who knows where. As far as the eye could see, the desert was pitch black.

The soldiers finally let out a sigh of relief, and under the command of all the officers, they began to clean up the scene of the conflict.

However, just as the flames were almost extinguished, another burst of gunfire came from the north side of the camp, followed by the sound of drums, fluttering flags, and clashing flames.

”Oh, my God! The enemy appeared in the north, reinforcements... ”Hurry and come back!”
