Geng Qing ordered: "Listen to the army, defend first and then listen to the order to fight back!"

As soon as he came ashore and hurried into the predetermined position, he came behind the shield man on the shore, where torches and an astonishing number of fire bolts had already been arranged.

"Smack~"

The first batch of arrows of the Huns was shot in a hurry, which was sparse and sparse, and there was no concentration of targets, and only a dozen people were put down.

Geng Qing roared: "The left and right wings are suppressed!"

"No!"

The dreadnoughts shouted in unison, and the soldiers and horses on both wings threw a batch of fire arrows under the cover of their shields.

The fire bolts cut a neat arc through the air and landed on the left and right wings of the Huns.

"Ahh Hide! ”

Some Huns held their ground, trying to block the damage with shields, weapons, and armor. More people thought that since they could see the flying trajectory of the fire arrow, they would dodge it.

"Ahh You've stepped on me! ”

"Fuck off, you don't have eyes!"

"Hu Gou, don't move!"

"What do you say! Eat my sword! ”

The 200 rockets fired by some soldiers of the Dreadnought Army directly disrupted the formation of 300 people on the left and right flanks of the Huns.

The actual hits of the fire bolt were very limited, killing only five people, but thirty were wounded by running around and pushing each other.

"Don't run around! Shoot back! ”

The centurions in charge of the flanks roared, and the scattered Huns hurriedly returned fire with bows.

But before he could aim at the target, the second round of fire had already drawn a curve and struck overhead. They had no choice but to release the arrows indiscriminately, and once again looked at the bright arrows, dodging left and right.

In the end, only the Huns in the middle returned fire, inflicting casualties.

The defense was orderly, and the dreadnoughts who did not show their heads were planted with only six or seven people.

Qubei saw that the archers on both sides of the opponent had been suppressed by the deterrent power of the fire arrows. He blew a continuous horse whistle to remind Geng Qing that the time had come.

Geng Qing may not be humble when it comes to commanding in battle, but he has an overall mind, and he is calm and calm.

Although he heard the signal to go to humility, he planned to press it again. This moment of waiting is not that he feels that the time is not right, but that he hopes that the effect of the blow will be better.

The shooter on both wings had already thrown two rounds of arrows, and the next burst was sure to be a test of strength, and he was going to stay a few more breaths in the hope that the salvo would be as effective as possible.

The Hun commander in the middle of the opposite bank saw that his wings were in disarray, and he was already suppressed by the fire arrows without even much loss. He roared, "Don't panic! Don't wave the fight! Listen to my orders and prepare for a salvo! ”

His roar was passed on by the centurions, and the Huns temporarily regrouped and prepared to shoot with the centurions in the center of the formation.

The battlefield came to a standstill for the time being, and both sides were brewing an all-out blow.

"Volley the enemy in the middle of the lane!"

When the herald heard Geng Qing's order, he immediately sounded three hurried horns.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! "The Huns also fired a salvo at the same time!

Qubei finally waited for Geng Qing's order, he shouted and pulled out his hard bow, ignoring the arrows flying in the darkness in front of him, and shot seven fire arrows in a row towards the middle of the opponent's army formation!

At the same time, all the soldiers of the Dreadnought Army stood up and shot five or six fire arrows!

Geng Qing, who was standing in the rear, saw the unforgettable impact of his life, and an uninterrupted fire dragon in the dark night swept through the middle of the Hun army formation.

More than 2,000 fire arrows covered an area in just a few breaths, and dozens of Hun soldiers turned into fireballs, scurrying around in pain, and also burned other soldiers.

The commander jumped into the icy water to extinguish the fire on his body, but he also barely extended his life for an hour, turning it into a double pain of burns and frostbite and slowly passed away.

In addition, more than 40 people were shot dead on the spot, and more than 100 people were injured of varying degrees of severity.

The other Hun soldiers were greatly visually shocked and traumatized, and before the fire dragon could lose its tail, they had already fled in a large area with screams.

The dreadnought soldier whose arm had been weakened couldn't help but smile with relief when he looked at the miserable appearance on the other side. Medics and engineers rushed to treat the wounded and remove the wounded who were unable to move.

"Saturation Fire Arrow Strike", Tong Yuan called this tactic.

Hao Zhao had practiced this tactic, and after he joined the Dreadnought, he was the first to teach it in the 11th Brigade.

Later, the Xinxi Liang Army specially prepared a batch of Ming Di and fire arrows for concentrated salvo fire. This time it just reflects these two arrows, the terrible damage to morale caused by saturation blows.

For example, after the incident, dozens of Hun soldiers who fled back would cry and scream when they saw the fire, or heard the neighing, and even if they stopped drinking, they could not get out of the shadows. In the end, they were all beheaded as cowards.

Geng Qing and Qubei returned to the fortress safely. According to statistics, a total of 16 people were killed in this night attack on the dreadnoughts, and more than 60 were wounded, half of which were wounded by the opponent's stray arrows during the saturation fire attack.

The results have been remarkable. Kill one thousand-commander, one centurion, and more than three hundred soldiers. In addition, the Dreadnoughts captured more than a dozen people, including a centurion, and freed more than 200 slaves.

In addition to direct casualties, the pontoon bridge was successfully destroyed according to the plan, delaying the enemy's crossing of the river, causing the morale of the other side to decline, and internal contradictions gradually became prominent.

The right valley king, the left Dulu king, and the right Dulu king, who were in the vanguard of the front of the Huns, began a fierce quarrel.

"What! Wading across the river on such a cold day! Going to go, you're going! ”

"Zuo Dulu King, there is a problem with your people at night, shouldn't you reflect on it! Besides, both of us should obey the arrangement of the King of the Right Valley, and if it is unpleasant, your duties at the meeting of kings will be greater! ”

Although the right Dulu King is slightly lower than the Left Dulu King, but his two identities are quite different from the right valley Li King, since the latter has made arrangements, then of course he stands in line with his superiors and supports the Left Dulu King to wade across the river.

Zuo Dulu King said: "This section of Fenshui is cold and turbulent, and the shallowest section of the river is also three feet deep!" I have only 4,000 men, and I have suffered losses, and I can't go on my own! ”

The Right Valley Li King soothed: "The Left Dulu King, don't worry. You can let the vassal Han army cross the river with you, and then I will personally lead my 7,000 men and horses to support on the banks of the Fenshui. If the city dares to send troops, we will attack it in one fell swoop. ”

"Besides, after you crossed the Fenshui, the right Dulu King commanded the slaves to step up the construction of the pontoon bridge. As long as it lasts a few days, the army can cross the river at will. ”

The left Dulu King was about to say something, and the right Dulu King next to him rushed to say: "Don't worry about time!" With me, at most two days and one night, we will build a pontoon bridge, and then we will all cross the river, are you still afraid of those people in the city? ”

Zuo Dulu King said: "Then if the city takes advantage of the darkness and doesn't want money to release the fire arrow, what can I do?" Did you wade through the water in the middle of the night? ”

The king of the right valley said: "Then don't sleep this night, prepare for an ambush!" The first day in the city took advantage, and seeing that our army was building pontoon bridges again, it would definitely be disturbed.

The right Dulu King also said excitedly: "That's right! This Han army is very rampant, don't you want to ambush and take revenge on Zuo Dulu King? ”

Zuo Dulu King had no choice but to agree to lead his troops and horses to wade across the river with the Han army to cover the construction of a pontoon bridge behind.
