Chapter 1284
Upon hearing Passaro's order, his generals, though somewhat puzzled, did not ask further questions and immediately took action.
Only after the entire army had been informed did one of the generals finally voice his doubts.
"General, why retreat into the woods? If we get trapped there, how will we deal with the miasma after dark?"
Upon hearing this, Pasaro pointed with a grave expression to the location in the distance that had been bombarded by rockets.
“Look closely, all three attacks were in roughly the same position, which means the enemy can see us from a distance.”
"Entering the woods is only dangerous at night, but if we don't hide now, we'll only be waiting to die."
"Although the woods are dangerous, we can always get out. If we wait for the enemy to get close, we can fire those firearms right in the middle of the army..."
Pasha stopped there, but even though he hadn't finished speaking, the other generals understood what he meant.
Indeed, entering the woodland was dangerous, but they were familiar with the environment and knew how to get out.
But if they wait until the enemy gets close, the explosion might not hit the soldiers, but their generals.
So after Pasharo finished speaking, the generals had no more doubts and immediately began to organize the soldiers to retreat.
Just as the Siamese general was directing his army to retreat, Wei Wu was watching their actions from the distant sky.
"A total of sixteen rockets were used. These guys finally realized they had to retreat, but we don't know which way they'll go."
He muttered something to himself, then put down his binoculars and turned to look at Shen Lin beside him.
"Keep your distance and follow them, keep an eye on their movements, and if they deviate from the plan, fire rockets to correct them."
"But if they're heading towards the woods, don't use rockets. Save them for me. Even the richest family doesn't have surplus grain!"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's instructions and glancing at the iron ladle that Wei Wu had placed beside him, Shen Lin immediately responded.
"Yes, young master, I won't fire rockets randomly!"
Shen Lin always remembered the last time he misused rockets, firing twenty at once, and ended up getting beaten up by Wei Wu.
The thing that hit him was the iron ladle that was placed next to him; it hurt terribly when it hit his head.
It must be said that Wei Wu was indeed lucky, as he caused Passaro to make a decision that aligned with Wei Wu's plan due to a misunderstanding.
In fact, the sixteen rockets that just exploded were not meant to convey any message from Wei Wu to cause Pasaro to misjudge the situation.
That was solely to drive away the Siamese army; they deliberately chose to have the rockets explode at the very edge of the Siamese army's position.
Because humans are creatures that subconsciously avoid dangerous locations, and usually choose the opposite direction.
In addition, Shen Lin's rocket launches were somewhat showy, deliberately maintaining the accuracy of the rocket shots.
As a result of a series of unforeseen circumstances, Passaro guessed that Wei Wu could see them, so he made the decision to send his troops into the forest.
In Passaro’s view, no matter how powerful an explosive firearm is, it can only be effective if the enemy’s position is known.
In Yunnan, the vegetation is lush, and the forests can even block out the sunlight, naturally also blocking the view from the sky.
Forced by the helicopters, the Siamese army had no choice but to sprint towards the location of the woodland.
Meanwhile, Wei Wu kept chasing from the sky, occasionally launching a rocket to prove his presence.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the more than 50,000 Siamese troops were forced into the forest by a helicopter.
Watching the Siamese army disappear into the woods, Wei Wu also cooperated by pretending to have lost his target and stopped firing rockets.
At this moment, Shen Lin suddenly turned to look at Wei Wu and asked:
"Young Master, should we find a place to land first, or just hover here?"
As soon as Shen Lin finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately responded.
"Let's keep our distance. They're in the dense forest. Although we can't see them, it'll be difficult for them to find us as well."
"As long as they can't see us, we'll launch another rocket after a while and just find a spot outside the woods to bomb us."
"Let them think we've lost our target and are still wandering in the sky, so they won't guess our purpose!"
Shen Lin nodded, and then immediately followed Wei Wu's plan, circling at a distance for a moment before launching a rocket.
boom!
An explosion rang out not far from the woods, but the shockwave and debris were all blocked by the trees.
In the woods, Passaro, who should have frowned at the sound of an explosion, actually breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it.
"It seems I was right. As long as the enemy can't see us, they won't be able to pinpoint our location and attack us."
"Moreover, the trees in this woodland can also block the debris from the explosion, greatly reducing soldier casualties."
Passaro thought to himself, quite pleased with the decision he had made in the emergency.
However, he frowned slightly upon reflection, because although the woodland was nice, it was not entirely safe.
After all, he had more than 50,000 soldiers under his command, and if the enemy attacked randomly in the woods, it could still cause casualties.
However, because of the presence of trees, the casualties will not be so great. Secondly, hiding forever is not an option; we need to find a way to break the deadlock.
However, what Pasaro didn't know was that while he was racking his brains to find a way out of the predicament, Wei Wu had already begun the second step of his operation.
After all, fire attack is not exactly a brilliant strategy, and Wei Wu was worried that the Siamese army would guess his plan.
You must know that this time he intends to eradicate the enemy completely, and he absolutely cannot give them time to escape.
So, while Pasaro was thinking of a solution, the helicopter had already arrived directly above the woodland.
At a height of about two hundred meters above the vegetation below, Wei Wu, secured by a safety rope, stood by the hatch holding an oil drum in both hands.
When diesel fuel gushed from the drum, it was rapidly dispersed into a mist and fell as it was propelled by the airflow from the propeller.
A bucket of 20 liters of water, when dispersed into a mist, can cover an area of approximately 300 square meters.
That's about three-quarters the size of a basketball court, but diesel isn't water, so it can't be dispersed like water.
So one barrel of diesel fuel could cover about half the size of a basketball court, but don't forget, Wei Wu poured the diesel fuel from a helicopter.
And in just a few minutes, he had already poured out more than twenty buckets of liquid, and the key point is that he didn't use diesel fuel to burn people.
They simply took advantage of the extremely flammable nature of diesel fuel to set the entire forest ablaze and burn the Siamese army to death!
