Chibu ordered people to cut down a lot of wood, and people made more than 40 large wooden carts overnight. One of the characteristics of these wooden cars is that the front baffle is particularly high, more than a foot high. More than forty wooden carts were placed in a row, like a huge shield. He believed that with these wooden carts, he would be able to guard against those crossbow arrows at the head of Xinquan City tomorrow.

After a night of silence, Chibu Gou asked Shu Tianxiu to stay in the camp to recuperate from his injuries, and he went out alone to command the siege.

When the Red Cloth Hook ordered the men to push more than forty wooden carts to the front line. The Kou County Commander at the head of the city was taken aback, and he had already guessed the intention of the red cloth hook at a glance. With this wooden cart as a shield, your bow and arrow are useless. The new crossbow arrows, while powerful, may not be able to pierce these wooden carts.

Kou County's order was still guarding the north gate, and he hurriedly sent someone to call Wei Dutong and Xiao Ding over, ready to discuss how to crack it.

Xiao Ding was also shocked when he saw it, but he immediately thought of an idea, so he said, "Master Kou doesn't need to worry, we can shoot rockets at the wooden cart and set their wooden cart on fire." ”

Kou County Ling nodded again and again. So he gave the order for the soldiers to fire rockets at the wooden cart.

The rockets of this era were actually tied to a small bamboo tube on the arrow shaft, and the bamboo tube was filled with gunpowder, which was ignited and launched.

But it is obviously not easy to ignite a wooden car with this gunpowder.

So, Xiao Ding asked the soldiers to dip the arrows in tung oil first, and then set them on fire. The shaft of the arrow is basically made of wood, and when dipped in tung oil, it is easy to catch fire. When the arrow hits the wooden cart, it is embedded in the wooden cart, and the gunpowder on the shaft of the arrow will naturally ignite the shaft of the arrow when it explodes, thus igniting the wooden cart.

After listening to the order, the soldiers followed Xiao Ding's instructions and fired rockets towards the wooden cart. As the number of arrows hit the wooden cart increased, the wooden cart gradually burst into flames.

When Chibu Gou saw the urgency, he shouted again and again: "Hurry up and put out the fire, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

But on the battlefield, where is the water to fight the fire? The Hu soldiers panicked, and some even accidentally ignited their armor. So I panicked even more.

The clothes and armor of the Hu people are mostly made of leather, which is easy to catch fire.

Seeing the hard work of the night last night, Chibu was burned by a fire, and he was extremely angry, and waved the double whip in his hand again and again, shouting: "Give me a rush, give me to capture Xinquan City, whoever is the first to attack Xinquan City will be rewarded with a thousand taels!" ”

The Hu people once again began a new wave of charge.

Xiao Ding just calmly looked at the Hu people who rushed over, and then saw that the Hu people were within range, so he ordered: "Release the crossbow arrows!" ”

And so a new massacre began.

The killing of Xinquan City is in full swing, and the killing of Dingbian City is also thrilling.

Huang Wenlong and several generals in the city were also divided into the four city gate towers, commanding the border guards. There are now more than 8,000 soldiers in Dingbian City, distributed on four city walls, resisting the attack of the Hu people.

At present, there are only about 30,000 people left in the team of Balatian and others, and he, Han Qianhu, Yeli Brothers, and Kangle Kingdom, are distributed in the four city gates to command the attack.

With each wave of attacks, corpses are left behind under the city. People who have never been on the battlefield will be paralyzed with fright when they see this bloody scene.

Huang Wenlong has been going crazy these days when he wants to save the soldiers. He had never looked forward to something before as much as he did today. Although his military service has not been short, he has never experienced such a dangerous battle before.

He had done his best to hold the city.

Just when Huang Wenlong felt that Dingbian City was about to be in danger, the Hu people suddenly withdrew.

Huang Wenlong stood at the head of the city and was very puzzled, at this time, a soldier came to report: "Lord Huang, there is smoke and dust in the southeast, it seems that a team of people is coming." ”

"Southeast?" Huang Wenlong was overjoyed, isn't that the southeast the direction of Yongzhou City? Could it be that reinforcements are coming?

At this time, Huang Wenlong noticed the retreat of the Hu people, and the Hu people divided about seven or eight thousand men and horses, led by a general, and rushed towards the southeast.

"Oh no, they're going to intercept reinforcements!" Huang Wenlong immediately stepped on Hu Ren's intentions.

Unfortunately, the county seat of Dingbian is currently under siege, and he cannot send someone to inform the reinforcements. Only in that stomp in a hurry.

Is this group of men and horses from the southeast a reinforcement? To say yes, yes, to say no, no.

This team is the team of township soldiers where Zhao Laixi, Zhao Hu and others are escorting grain and grass materials.

The leader of the team, the escort officer, named Lu Yang, led 10,000 villagers to escort grain, grass and army supplies to the front line in Dingbian. Unexpectedly, when approaching Dingbian City, the scout reported to him that Dingbian City had been surrounded by the Hu people.

Lu Yang immediately ordered to stop advancing.

He has been in the army for many years and is very experienced. Of course, he knew that since the scouts on his side had already discovered the Hu people, then the scouts on the Hu people's side should have also discovered him.

At present, Dingbian County is surrounded, and the Hu people find that they are escort troops on their side, and they will definitely come to plunder. Therefore, you must prepare in advance on your own side.

Lu Yang is not stupid, he knows that the Hu people are good at fighting in the field and flat, so that their Hu people's superb riding skills and archery skills can be fully utilized. And on his side, they are basically recruits who have just been recruited, ordinary farmers who have never been on the battlefield before. If the two armies face each other, they will only be slaughtered.

Therefore, Lu Yang immediately ordered the soldiers to arrange all the baggage vehicles in a circle to block the Hu people's iron cavalry, and to act as a cover to avoid the Hu people's arrows.

Just when Lu Yang's side had just finished making preparations, Kang Leguo led 8,000 cavalry to rush over.

"Shoot the arrows!" Lu Yang gave an order, and the soldiers released arrows one after another.

Although many people have extremely poor archery skills, as long as they can shoot arrows, they can pose a certain threat to the enemy. Because no one knows which arrow will fall on whom.

Zhao Laixi and Zhao Hu also hid behind the baggage car, pulled out the longbow in their hands one after another, put on the arrow, and didn't dare to look out, and shot directly diagonally, regardless of whether they could shoot or not.

These arrows are all resigned to fate, and whether or not they can hit the enemy depends on the enemy's luck. If anyone is unlucky, there is a chance that an arrow falling from the sky will kill him. If you're lucky, you might not get hit by those arrows.

The Hu people were not vegetarians either, so they dodged the arrows and shot arrows back. Both sides soon suffered considerable casualties.

Zhao Laixi saw with his own eyes that a person not far from him was talking and laughing with him on the road before, and in the blink of an eye, a stray arrow flew and shot through his neck. Blood gushed out, staining his robes red. Zhao Laixi was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out. When had he ever seen such a scene?

However, what makes Zhao Laixi even more scared is still to come. The Hu people quickly rushed to the baggage cart, and they could not cross the baggage cart on horseback, so they had to ask people to move the vehicle.

At this time, Lu Yang gave an order, "Charge!" Then he waved the big iron spear in his hand and took the lead in rushing towards the Hu people.

Not to be outdone, the Hu people moved a few baggage carts and also broke into the camp of the villagers.

For a while, the two armies were in a scuffle, swords and spears flying, and flesh and blood flying.

Zhao Laixi was stunned by this scene, he usually doesn't even dare to kill chickens, how dare he kill people? He was so frightened that he hid under a car and shivered. Suddenly, a head rolled down to his side, so frightened that Zhao Laixi almost fainted.

Zhao Hu and Wang Dynasty Mahan are much braver than Zhao Laixi. At least they dared to wave the waist knives in their hands to resist the attack of the Hu people.

Fan Sanpang is relatively easy, after all, he has martial arts, and there is no problem in protecting himself against these ordinary soldiers. He wielded an iron pot with a sharp edge and was able to kill a Hu soldier from time to time.

At this moment, a Hu soldier suddenly found Zhao Laixi, who was shivering all over the body, hiding under the baggage car, and walked towards Zhao Laixi with a waist knife......
