Chapter 429: Prisoners escape at night

Li Mengxi thought of a magical idea. If there were two kicks, the most valuable use of the two kicks would not be as a trumpet.

Imagine that in the dead of night, when you go to steal the enemy's barracks, you light up a few kickers and throw them into the enemy's barracks. In an instant, with a thunderous sound, the enemy camp explodes.

A few kicks can cause a roar.

This should be a very powerful way to scare the enemy with sound.

To make two kicks, there is no material.

However, when it comes to explosions, the explanation for the explosion is that a violent combustion reaction occurs in a limited space.

In other words, as long as the space is limited and the combustion is violent enough, flour can explode.

Li Mengxi has seen many explosive news about flour mills and wood processing plants.

After the concentration of flour in the air reaches a certain level, it is ignited and exploded...

In the wood processing factory, wood particles are flying, shavings and other things are everywhere. If there is a fire, there will be a blast...

Also, pulverized coal can explode.

Li Mengxi went to find flour, got some flour, put it in a pocket, and shook the pocket with all kinds of force in a wasteful manner.

Then he suddenly opened his pocket and threw a torch inside,

Expansion...

A small popping sound.

Li Mengxi's pounding heart calmed down a little.

Damn it, flour is really easy to explode.

A magical tactic became feasible. Use cowhide to make several large balls, and then fill the balls with a lot of flour. Shake and shake until the balls are filled with flour dust.

Then, he secretly sneaked to the enemy's camp, put the ball down, threw a firecracker into it, and boom... there was a loud noise.

The explosion of a ball as big as a water tank is comparable to the kick of a trumpet.

It is very possible that a single explosion would blow up the enemy's camp.

The various types of cowhide, horsehide, and sheepskin hoarded by the army can finally be put to use.

Make explosives for surprise attacks.

Li Mengxi was very imaginative. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were practicing tactics with the cavalry.

Because whips are needed to surround the defeated troops, the army has collected dozens of good whips. Branches can be used by the driver to drive the cart, but branches cannot be used to deter the routed troops.

The whips that can be collected in the army are of different lengths. The long pole can be as long as ten feet, and the whip can also be one or two feet long. It is very useful to use this whip to deter the enemy.

As for whips that are too short, there is no need to use them. The cavalry itself has short whips. All it takes is to replace the cavalry hemp rope whips, straw rope whips, etc. with leather whips that can make a crackling sound.

The cavalry blocked their heads in front of the defeated troops, and whipped out their whips with a snap, which was a very good deterrent.

Another equipment of the cavalry is the noose. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not very skilled in using the noose.

According to Li Mengxi, if we talk about deterrence, then when encircling the defeated soldiers, directly killing the armored leaders among the defeated soldiers will have a very good deterrent effect.

But in this way, there are two losses. First, most of the leaders in the Yellow Turban Army are top-notch men with extraordinary bravery. It would be best if I could use such a strong soldier. It would be a waste to kill them directly.

.

Secondly, the Yellow Turban leader is wearing good armor. If he stabs him with a spear and pierces the armor, the armor will be useless.

Therefore, the use of nooses provides a peaceful option. The Yellow Turban leader in the rout does not have to be killed, but can also be captured alive with nooses.

In this way, the deterrence has been achieved, and the yellow turban warrior has been captured. He will no longer be able to be used by me, and the armor will not be damaged. We have both men and armor. This score is worth settling.

Guan and Zhang tried the noose many times. The noose was not very easy to use, but it worked.

In preparation for a possible battle tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the soldiers all used ropes to weave sheep's slings that night, and they all tried their hands on it, and basically mastered the use of throwing the sheep's slings with one hand.

Liu Bei finished his military training and went to visit the prisoner camp.

Many prisoners in the prison camp are still queuing up to wait for medical treatment by military doctors.

Liu Bei went over and chatted with each military doctor for a while, saying thank you for your hard work.

It was a cold autumn night, and Liu Bei knew that some of the prisoners were women and children. He originally wanted to arrange to go to the women's and children's camp, but the night was too late and all the women and children in the women's and children's camp were asleep. It was too troublesome to gather them again.

The sky is clear tonight and the wind is not strong, so we have to wait for the night and make arrangements tomorrow.

——

Later in the night.

Except for the patrol team that was still patrolling, all the soldiers were asleep, Liu Guan and Zhang were also asleep, and the civilians, including most of the prisoners, were asleep.

In the prisoner camp, a young man with a scarred face and a ferocious look who was hugging his legs and burying his head in his arms pretending to sleep quietly raised his head, his eyes warily looking around at the guarding soldiers and the fire.

After a long time, while the guards were moving around, the scarred-faced man stood up on tiptoe and escaped quickly but quietly.

When the guarding soldier turned around and came back, the scar-faced young man fell to the ground in a dangerous situation.

Just three or five steps away from the guarding soldier, it was too dark at night and in the blind spot of the torch, Scarface lay there.

The rebel army is not an elite army, and there are inevitably deficiencies in all aspects of discipline.

The soldiers guarding the prisoners had become slack. If the soldiers guarding the prisoners had been more focused and instead of standing yawning and glancing at the ground, they would have seen the prisoners running out and trying to escape in the dark.

After a long time, Scarface lay on the ground motionless, even breathing was suppressed, and he was terrifyingly calm.

When the guarding soldier was once again pacing in a small area, Scarface used his elbows instead of his feet and crawled out bit by bit.

Around the camp, torch stands were set up during military training. After the military training, the torch stands were deliberately placed in a sparse circle around the camp.

This is war time. Using fire as a wall can firstly prevent the camp from being bombed, secondly, it can prevent enemy troops from sneak attacks, and thirdly, it can also prevent prisoners from escaping at night.

After climbing a long distance, we finally reached the outskirts of the camp, with Scarface panting heavily.

An insurmountable band of light blocked the front, and Scarface hesitated a little. If he went over, he would definitely be illuminated.

After hesitating again and again, Scarface regained some strength, gritted his teeth, climbed up, and quietly and cautiously moved towards the torch stand.

Seeing no one around, Scarface stood up and ran out.

"Who?! Who's there?!" The soldiers patrolling nearby saw a figure jumping out, and immediately called on the people in the same team to chase him out.

After a while, the whole camp was in alarm. Liu Bei heard the soldiers report that some prisoners had escaped. Liu Bei frowned.

Being startled, Liu Bei lost all sleep. He picked up his clothes and put them on his body, and went to inspect the prisoner camp with Guan and Zhang.

Liu Bei made a circle and ordered his soldiers to be on guard and not to let anyone escape again.

When Liu, Guan, and Zhang returned to the Chinese army's tent, they were surprised to see Li Mengxi, who was yawning repeatedly, already waiting in the tent.

Liu Bei was surprised, "Xi'er, why don't you sleep?"
