Chapter 806 Trigger Rocket

Up to now, for Manfred, Zhao Fubo and his men's real combat power is still an unsolved mystery. Although he has seen their battle in Palermo, he has also seen their abilities in the battle for castles along the way.

But as far as Manfred is concerned, the battle in front of him is the opportunity to truly confirm Louis IX's evaluation of Zhao Fubo. After all, this is a battle of 5,000 against 50,000 people. Although one side has a quality advantage, the number of enemy troops is really larger. Although Zhao Fubo's performance is quite good by Louis IX's description and the battlefield I have seen before, what about this battle?

"Yes, you go with me tonight. But now you go and tell Muke, find him five crossbows and convert them into marching mode. Tonight, we have to do some things well!"

Manfred had guessed Zhao Fubo's plan in a blink of an eye, and he was planning to go to a night attack.

"Well, I know, you're going to attack them tonight! But we have so few people, their camp..."

Zhao Fubo lit his pipe and glanced at Manfred.

"I see if you should give that black and god a message, and say you should take a shower! And boy, I have begun to doubt whether your military rules have been memorized?"

This sentence means that Manfred is itchy and should be asked to serve the Black-faced God in the army judge to serve him well. Manfred grinned and knew that the "Black-faced God" was an extremely terrifying animal, so it would be better not to deal with him.

"It's the sir, I'll go!"

After saying that, Manfred turned around and ran out. Seeing his cloak floating behind him with a cool breeze, Zhao Fubo frowned.

"Oh, it's really failed, and this guy actually saw through it."

However, his attention immediately turned to the coming night attack in front of him. From the arrangement of the opponent's march, he could see that this cautious guy was also a veteran on the battlefield. Although there were 5,000 forwards from the opponent by the river, it was just bait. If he went to swallow it, it would be a bad idea.

Manfred, who left Zhao Fubo, ran very fast. He didn't want to fall into the hands of the "Black Face God". That guy was simply not a human. Especially when dealing with soldiers who made mistakes, there were many bad points and endless tricks, but this did not affect his thinking about Zhao Fubo's methods.

"He really deserves to have black eyes and always likes night attacks. Although he lacks the demeanor of a knight, his night attacks are always good. So what tricks he plans to play this time?"

The Po River, as the largest river in Italy, is about 200 meters wide in the direction close to Milan. Moreover, the Po River is also a river with a large amount of water, so it is not that easy to cross the river.

The reason why Zhao Fubo asked his forward to collect ships as much as possible was because he had already planned to attack. Of course, whether he succeeded or not depends on the other party's arrangement. Now that the other party has arranged a forward with as many as 5,000 cavalry in front, their plans can be understood at a glance.

It was about 10 kilometers away, and it was not worth mentioning the five crossbows that Zhao Fubo and him brought. When they came to the Pohe River, there was already a smooth road leading to the opposite of the Pohe River - the floating bridge.

I don’t know when it was used to use the pontoon bridge, but the pontoon bridges built by Zhao Fubo are really distinctive at this moment. They are some wooden boats of similar size, tied to wooden piles laid in the middle of the river. Although the position is a little worse, it can be easily adjusted by adjusting the tied ropes. The boats lined up in a straight line. Then, the wooden boards were laid, and it became a pontoon bridge that went straight to the other side.

When Zhao Fubo and Manfred arrived, such a pontoon bridge surprised Manfred. He just felt that the way to build a pontoon bridge was very special. Just adjust the length of the rope, you can easily stabilize the boat in the river.

What even surprised him was that when he and the others arrived at the ferry under the guidance of the scouts, they did not see half of them guarding here. Of course, with Manfred's understanding of the Great Song Yulin Army, they probably had their troops lying in ambush nearby, but they were just hidden and unknown.

When crossing the river, he looked at the structure of the pontoon bridge. It was so simple that it was no more simple. However, at the next place on the boat, he nailed a wooden board to connect the bridge boards on both sides.

In fact, this is not magical, because for the sake of the Song Dynasty Yulin Army, Martin also studied river crossing equipment, and it was a pontoon bridge that could cross heavy trucks. As for now, they had to take down the shells in the crossbow carriage and cross the river in two waves.

When they reached the levee, Manfred was surprised to find that the enemy's vanguard had been in chaos at this moment. The camp was halfway built, but they were attacked and there was nothing they could do about the situation in front of them.

First of all, it should be noted that the Po River is like the Yellow River. The sand content in its water is quite large, so it is also an on-ground river. Standing on the river channel above the ground and looking into the distance with a telescope, you will find a team of black-clad Yulin Army that is constantly haunting the enemy's vanguard.

Obviously they did not mean a head-on attack, but their formations that were sometimes gathered and sometimes dispersed were a bit strange, and the arrows they shot were even more strange.

The strange formation was about the front, and some people were watching behind. However, when those people were about to rush to the camp, they shot the arrows in their hands with the maximum range, then turned their horse's head and ran away. They formed a piece with those who had just watched behind, and then the people who had just set up the array while watching charged forward.

They give people the feeling that they can gather into impact at any time and launch an impact on the camp. But they can gather and disperse at any time, making it impossible to tell whether they will really impact this time. The most disgusting thing is that their arrows with extremely long range do not carry fire when they shoot out, but become rockets when they land.

"What's this? Is it magic?"

In fact, it is just a flame kit that uses the heart to enhance the killing on the arrow. It is a small cylinder with a very light weight. You can install the shaft by just removing the tip of the arrow. When the arrow branch hits the target, inertia causes one end of the cylinder to collide with the four pointed tails of the quadrilateral armor, igniting the petroleum products inside.

Although the explosion arrow in "The First Blood ii" is unlikely, the weight of the petroleum products is lighter than that of explosives and has a much smaller impact on the arrow. When hitting the target, a large ball of oily flame will be sprayed out.
