It was raining lightly in the sky.
Early spring here in Annan is often the coldest time. The gusts of wind carry a damp and cold air, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable.
In the dense jungle, the humid climate makes a large number of poisonous insects active. In this unexplored place, a bite from poison can often kill you.
No one would want to stay in such a place unless it was a war.
If it were just poison, the Siamese soldiers who had been fighting in the mountains and forests all year round would still have a way to deal with it. But what frightens them even more is the miasma that spreads out at any time in this cold climate. This thing is difficult for people to guard against. Once they get sick, it is often the most deadly existence.
"With this damn weather, the Yijun's firearms must be useless! It's time for us to take revenge." A Siamese soldier hiding in the jungle and standing sentry whispered to another teammate beside him.
"You should listen to what the officials say! Just listen to what they say. They told our team before that it was raining and the Yijun's firearms were afraid of water and would definitely not be used. Let us rush forward. Kill them quickly. As a result, after my team rushed up, I am the only one left." After hearing this, the Siamese soldier raised his stick and turned his head, looking at the Siamese soldier who asked the question as if he was a "fool" Abu said.
"In the past, it didn't rain for more than a day or two at most. As long as their gunpowder was well preserved, it was normal if it wasn't wet. But it's different now. It's been raining for more than half a month. Even if it's well preserved, it's normal. Good gunpowder will also be affected." Although he knew that what Ang Guan said was reasonable, Abu still looked completely unwilling to give up.
"I don't know if their gunpowder is affected now. But unless there was a heavy rainstorm before, their muskets would still ring as they should." Ang Guan continued nonchalantly.
"What's the matter with you? You keep saying things that make other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. I still don't believe that their firearms can still be used. In that case, how can I avenge my brother?" I saw that Abu suddenly became angry with embarrassment. .
"Okay, if you say their gunpowder is wet, then it's wet. I also think their gunpowder should be wet."
"What do you mean I said..."
…
"Woo..."
Just when Abu was about to grab the stick and hold on, suddenly, the sound of buffalo horn blowing came from the calm jungle.
"This is an alarm from the front. Could it be that the Yi army is coming?" An incredible thought flashed through Ang Guan.
At this time, I saw a scout running back in front.
"Brother, what's going on ahead, why is there the siren?" Ang Guan quickly stopped the retreating scout and asked.
"Quickly go and inform your superiors that a large number of Annan troops are coming. They will arrive here soon. There are many scouts in front of us who have been killed by their people. You should also go back and prepare." The scout who stopped didn't stop for a moment. He gave instructions to the stick and then ran away in a hurry.
“呲呲…”
There was a constant sound of vegetation and leaves in the jungle, and the scouts in front kept retreating.
"Let's go back quickly to report the news." Ang Guan said to Abu.
"You go back first. I'll snipe the enemies here to delay some time for you." Abu said with dignity.
"That's up to you! I'll leave first." Ang Guan didn't bother to persuade Abu, and immediately took steps to retreat.
"Cowards, the useless Annan Army is also afraid. Besides, our large army has gone to fight the Yi Army. Most of Annan's army must be following the Yi Army. How many more can come? Let me kill a few more. Annan people, when the time comes, you can be promoted to an official position so that you can avenge my brother." Looking at Ang Guan's leaving figure, Abu said with disdain.
"call out…"
A bow and arrow shot out of the jungle and struck an Annan soldier. The Annan soldier screamed in pain before he could die.
"Two..., I just said, what's so scary about the Annan Army?" After shooting another Annan Army, Abu lurked into the dense jungle again.
"Come quickly, there are enemies here." The cry of the Annan Army who was shot immediately attracted the attention of his companions. When the people who brought him arrived, they only saw the killed companion falling to the ground. So, the visitor immediately summoned more companions to come over.
"Wow... Wow..."
In the jungle, various branches rustled, and soon, more than ten Annan troops came here.
"Search on the spot, we must not let this person leave like this." A person who looked like an officer said.
"yes…"
Soon, more than ten Annan troops launched a search.
It's impossible to shoot arrows from a long distance in the jungle, so Abu can't hide too far. Soon, Abu's hiding location will be found. In order not to be found, Abu could only choose to leave quietly.
If there were no accidents, it would not be too difficult for Abu, who has been fighting in the jungle all year round, to leave quietly. Unfortunately, he accidentally disturbed a bird that was hatching its eggs.
The commotion of bird chirping instantly attracted the attention of Annan's army and exposed Abu's hiding place.
When Abu saw this, he immediately ran for his life.
"Whoosh..."
The arrows behind him kept passing by him. At this moment, he was already panicking and couldn't choose his way.
The Annan Army behind him kept chasing him, and Abu could only run with all his strength. He didn't care what was in front of him, as long as he could escape the pursuit behind him.
Slowly, Abu could no longer feel the pursuit behind him. Just when he was about to stop and rest, he heard the sound of firecrackers, or gunfire, in his ears.
"Have I arrived at the battlefield of Yijun?" with doubts in his heart. Abu dragged his tired body towards the direction of the gunfire.
Passed through numerous obstacles of shrubs. Soon, Abu came to an open area and looked around at the battlefield of their Siam Army and Yi Army.
Originally, the Siamese army wanted to take advantage of the rainy weather to sneak attack the Yi army's barracks, but they did not expect that after being discovered by the Yi army, they had to change the sneak attack into a head-on battle, and the war between the two sides began.
…
"Yeah, do these Siamese soldiers think that there are fewer people in our military camp, so they want to bully us? Did they make the wrong calculation?" Huang Min, commander of the 03rd Brigade of the Suzaku Army, said with an angry smile.
"Brigadier Commander, there are estimated to be tens of thousands of enemies outside. Our army's strength is only 3,000. Although the Siamese army is not something to be afraid of, my subordinates still recommend that you leave to a safe place first and leave this place to us." Chen Ming suggested.
"Yes! A gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. If you are here, our brigade will be here." Others agreed.
"I understand everyone's intentions, but if I leave, how can I have the dignity to face the division commander in the future? The Suzaku is a fire god bird, and the position of our Suzaku Army in the Emperor's heart is self-evident. No one wants to escape. I’m trying to persuade you again. We would rather die in battle than live in peace. This has always been the purpose of our army. This is something I have understood since I followed the emperor in Zhilian Mountain. You should do the same and defend the glory of our army to the death." Huang Min interrupted the persuading people and said.
"yes…"
The generals returned to the road without hesitation.
"Everyone, although Siam seems to be attacking menacingly this time, there is actually nothing to worry about. After all, although our army is small in number, its combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of the Siamese soldiers. What's more, I also brought a big killer weapon this time. ." Huang Min was pretending to be mysterious.
