1056 Cornered
Hearing Nangong Ling's order, Ruan Yanluo's face slid a trace of unbearability, but it was only a flash. If she can't bear the barbarians, she will be cruel to her own people. At this point, she has always been very clear, and her own people will always come first.
The catapults retreated, and came forward with rows of soldiers with powerful crossbows, and behind each of them hung a small pouch, and behind these crossbow archers there were rows of soldiers bent and ready to attack.
This scene is exactly the same as the position that Nangong Ling put on when he was besieged by He Di's calculations in Rongguo before, and Ruan Yanluo went to rescue him.
It's just that this time the bag is no longer filled with wine, but Lu Xiuyi's specially prepared fire oil, even if there are no combustibles, just with these fire oils, it can burn for more than half an hour. What's even more terrifying is that these oils are so easy to contaminate that a little drenching is enough to ignite a raging fire.
The rows of men with crossbows and bows galloped forward for more than a hundred meters, and when they were sure that the people in front were within their range, they all stopped.
The voice of the commander of the "Reserve ......" was calm and steady: "Put!" ”
Hundreds of crossbow arrows with fire oil scattered like flying cockroaches across the barbarians in front, and the target they were staring at was the most chaotic part of the infantry cavalry.
As soon as the sack of fire oil flew above the barbarian's head, the sky suddenly brightened, and a burst of arrows with bright flaming tail feathers came up from behind, and flew down like meteors through the atmosphere, hitting the pouch of the previous crossbow arrow. The transparent and colorless fire oil was like a silent drizzle, but before it completely fell into the barbarians below, it was instantly ignited by the flames, and a grand fireworks banquet seemed to be held in the air, and the noon sun shone without light.
Before the barbarians could even react to what was going on, they were plunged into a sea of steaming fire, and almost instantly, hellish screams filled the entire space.
Ruan Yanluo's eyes sank, and his eyebrows also frowned.
"If you don't like it, don't watch it." Nangong Ling stretched out his hand and wanted to break Ruan Yanluo's face.
"I'm not that timid." Ruan Yanluo dodged for a moment, smiled at Nangong Ling, and said, "I said it a long time ago, I will bear my life with you." ”
This method was the first one she used, and what these people violated was the country she shared with him, so what reason did she have to escape.
Nangong Ling blinked slightly, but didn't say anything, just turned his eyes and looked at the sea of fire not far away with Ruan Yanluo.
The pain of the burning flame is unbearable for ordinary people, even if those barbarian soldiers are brave, but under such pain, there is only the instinct to survive, they cry, howl, and run towards the clansmen behind them, hoping that their clansmen can help them.
But they didn't know that it was their actions that introduced the flames deeper into the barbarian army, and the flames burned almost wherever people ran.
"Don't run! Don't run back! The general in charge saw some of the doorways and scolded loudly, but those who had almost lost their minds in pain, where could they stop scolding like this.
And the barbarians are not like other countries, there is such a structured military system, their army is almost all maintained by the religious beliefs of the tribesmen and the religious hierarchy instilled in childhood, in peacetime battles, no one will retreat or disobey orders, so the barbarian generals did not kill the clansmen to establish their authority.
At this point, it immediately showed his disadvantage, the barbarian general had no concept of killing the clansmen in his heart, he could only shout loudly, and such a shout was completely impossible to stop their actions, nearly a million people gathered together, which facilitated the spread of chaos, the barbarians were almost immediately chaotic, and the flames burned faster and faster.
"Retreat, retreat!" The great general, who had been pressing the formation in the rear, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and roared loudly, in such a situation, let alone a decisive battle with the Tianyao army, I was afraid that their own trampling would kill half of their own men and horses first. The only way to do this is to let these people who have already caught fire have no choice but to let the army retreat first and preserve some strength.
Hearing the general's order, the barbarian soldiers immediately began to retreat, and the general set aside some men and horses to form a separate belt, not allowing those who were on fire to continue to advance, while others quickly retreated to the rear.
It's just more than a million people, how easy is it to retreat, but how could Nangong Ling let them withdraw so easily?
Behind him, the banner was unfurled, and a few cavalry suddenly came out from the rear of the barbarians, cutting the pace of the barbarians' retreat diagonally, and plunged straight into them like sharp arrows, and they did not seek more kills, but tried to disrupt the pace of the barbarians' retreat, and after rushing from one side to the other, this line of cavalry stopped and adjusted the formation, and rushed back again.
Several cavalrymen rose and fell, constantly interspersing in the barbarian army formation, treating the barbarian army formation as if it were their own home, exerting their speed to the extreme, coming and going, and doing their best to disrupt it.
The general of the barbarian tribe tried his best to stabilize the army, but he was still in a hurry, and he could take care of this and not there.
And Nangong Ling stood quietly, waiting, watching that the fire on the opposite side was almost burning, and there was almost no living mouth left, before he waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
The 400,000 troops behind him had been holding back for a long time, and when they saw the order to attack, they rushed out with a roar like a vicious wolf coming out of the gate, and they all carried a bag of sand powder with them, and when they went to the place where the fire started, they spilled a lot of it.
The general of the barbarian tribe tried several times to gather the army to no avail, and knew that the general trend had gone today, so he had to shout unwillingly: "Retreat, retreat on your own!" ”
Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood, although Nangong Ling's methods today were unexpected, but he did not kill or injure many of them, as long as these barbarian people are still there, they will always be able to defeat him one day.
But he didn't know that Nangong Ling had done so many things just to force them to mess up and retreat on their own.
The army of 400,000 Tianyao seemed scattered, but in fact it was hidden in formation, and they drove the barbarians from all directions, driving them in a predetermined direction.
The barbarians fled in all directions, but they felt as if everywhere was a dead end, and there was only one direction to pass, so they all ran in this direction.
All of them don't know that this seemingly life-saving path is actually their dead-end road!
