The Brown Army is a name that makes the Chilean and Bolivian armies very scared. Those who can defeat the guards of an entire saltpeter mining area with their bare hands, and then easily repel the Chinese who rescue the regular army, are simply a group of murderers from hell.
They disappeared, they broke into pieces, they waved triangular flags they had never seen before, with words written on them that no one knew.
They have countless horns, gongs and drums, and every bloody battle always starts with overwhelming noise. They are very good at creating chaos. They will not let their opponents figure out the direction of their attack. When you are disturbed by the chaotic flags and sounds, Soon you will find that the war has suddenly entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.
The ultra-long and heavy peace knife cannot be resisted by bayonets and light sabers. In addition, these people attack almost madly and do not care about their own life or death. The war is often over after only one or two charges. fighting.
The fear caused by the Brown Army was far greater than that of Chile's regular army. Although most battles were fought by regular troops, people always feel a natural fear of unfamiliar things. This is by nature.
Today, when the banner of the Brown Army was raised, the psychological pressure on the Peruvian defenders suddenly increased several times, especially the Indian mercenaries who were dawdling around. They were all panicked and looked horrified.
The Peruvian commanders on the fortress had no idea how many brown troops were coming. They saw waving triangular flags and the sound of drums and trumpets everywhere in the military formations in the south and east. In addition, the Chilean army's artillery had begun. Shooting, the smoke from the black powder explosion began to fill the air, adding a layer of fog to the battlefield.
"How many enemies are there? Twenty thousand or thirty thousand? How many brown troops are there? Judging from the flag, it must be at least more than twenty thousand. Damn it, is all the information wrong? The Chinese reinforcements coming across the Pacific are not ten thousand but More?"
"Hold the fort, don't skimp on ammunition, keep firing...Those brown soldiers are all lunatics who love beheading, aren't you afraid of being beheaded? Don't panic and keep shooting..."
The port of Iquique ushered in the first ray of sunrise amidst the fierce battle.
Just twenty-five kilometers east of Iquique, there is a small oasis called Osaka. There are only a dozen households living here. Although they cannot grow crops, these residents can make a living by selling supplies to the passing caravans, so The days can be considered manageable.
When modern people hear the word desert, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sahara Desert, while Chinese people think more of the Taklimakan Desert. However, the real dry pole of mankind is not located there, but in Atta in South America. Kama.
There has been an extremely dry climate here with no rain for sixteen years. There is no trace of life in the core desert area, not even single-celled organisms. It is known as the area on earth closest to the Martian landscape.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, scientists from the United States and Europe built laboratories here to simulate the Martian landscape to study how humans could live on Mars.
A NASA scientist once said, "Anywhere on earth, even in the core area of the Sahara Desert, if you shovel up a piece of soil, at least you can use a microscope to find single-celled organisms, that is, the simplest bacteria." exist. And in the soil of Atacama, you can’t even find bacteria..."
In such an extremely arid land, only the edge areas will have some oases, and Osaka is located on the northern border of the desert, which is closer to Peru.
More than 20,000 Bolivian coalition troops were stationed near the Osaka Oasis last night, where they suffered an unprecedented 'massacre'.
The Taiping Army's attack began at midnight. More than 20,000 troop camps were densely arranged on the ground, covering an area of dozens of acres. The light of the torches reflected in the desert looked like a sleepless city from a distance.
At the quietest moment of the night, a sudden burst of gunfire sounded like a rainstorm from the south, followed by countless drums and trumpets, flags fluttering, and countless figures in the dark launching a surprise attack on the camp.
The patrolling sentry had just fired two warning shots when he was pinned to the desert by crossbow arrows. Countless torches lit up at the same time, rushing towards the Bolivian army camp like a tide on the ground.
The chaos woke up all the soldiers. People emerged from the tents and picked up their weapons sleepily. Just when they were about to fight back, they realized that they were not wearing any pants and could not find their shoes.
The camp was full of noisy curses. You complained that you had no pants, he complained about losing bullets, and there were even cases where someone picked up the wrong rifle... The Bolivian commander cursed angrily, until a quarter of an hour after the attack, he Only then did they manage to gather a battalion of troops to counterattack towards the area where the attack occurred.
At this time, the camp closest to the south had turned into a sea of flames. There were only a few frightened words in the crowd repeating back and forth: "Brown Army... Chinese... Brown Army... Chinese..."
It turned out to be the Brown Army. Those commandos armed with peace knives were covered by a large number of musketeers and crossbowmen. These hand-to-hand warriors were responsible for killing people and setting fires to create an atmosphere of terror. Many Bolivian soldiers' heads had just emerged from the tents, and they could only see the cold light. With a flash of the sword, he cut off his head.
Torches lit up the canvas and cowhide tents, and soldiers wearing only pajamas inside jumped out, screaming and smoking, and rolled back and forth on the sand.
Of course, some soldiers gathered to resist in squads and platoons, but chaos had already occurred. These Chinese and the defeated troops had become entangled, and the muskets had no effect at all at this moment.
When soldiers from other areas of the camp organized themselves and rushed to support them, all they could see were soldiers running around like alpacas, and flames rising into the sky.
In my ears, I could hear the terrifying shouts of the Chinese people, "Taiping...kill! Taiping...kill!"
"Line up...shoot intensively...driving them back..." The battalion commander of the Bolivian Army spoke with a vibrato. Following his order, a battalion of soldiers divided into three columns and started shooting in a lining up manner. The front-loaded rifle guns fired a dense rain of bullets, and the brown army on the opposite side suddenly fell to the ground.
"Retreat...the Taiping Army retreats!" The Taiping Army who made a sneak attack were not willing to fight. As soon as they saw the organized enemy troops appearing, they turned away and threw all the torches on the tent before leaving. Soon they were in contact with the darkness. Integrated into one.
"Keep firing! Load ammunition! You losers... fire!" Unfortunately, no matter how much he urged, the loading speed of the muzzle-loading gun just couldn't increase. By the time they fired the second round of shooting, the Chinese had already I don't know where I ran, and the desert was pitch black.
People breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved. Under the command of officers at all levels, soldiers began to clean up the scene of the conflict.
But just when the flames were almost extinguished, suddenly there was another burst of gunfire like a rainstorm from the north of the camp, followed closely by the sound of drums and trumpets, flying flags, and conflicting firelights.
"Oh, my God! The enemy has appeared in the north, come back for reinforcements... hurry up and come back for reinforcements!"
