Chapter 471: Set fire to the mountain
Zang Ba has been memorizing words since he was under the command of the potter.
First of all, Xu Chu, the fierce general of Xuzhou, had nowhere to run on the mountainside, and he was panicked like a lost dog.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Feng rebelled, and the murdered Zang Ba fell from the position of the head of the five thieves of Mount Tai to the bottom, and Cumin was alone.
and was stabbed by him on the way to Chang Xuan's rebellion, and he almost died.
As a result, he was actually saved by the Tao boy who he looked down on the most on weekdays, and he was sneered at by others and succumbed to his command.
After recuperating from his injuries for more than half a year, he just wanted to persuade the three thieves except Chang Feng to take revenge, but Chang Feng colluded with Cao Cao, which attracted Yu Ban, beat himself with a fart and urine, and suffered minor injuries again.
Zang Ba's heart was suffocating at the moment, and he urgently needed a big battle to vent the anger in his chest.
Hitting Yuan Tan is in his arms.
Seeing Yuan Yao's front vanguard army pass, it didn't take long for Yuan Tan's main force of Qingzhou to arrive at his eyes.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Zang Ba's mouth, and he turned his head to Li Dao: "When its main force is more than halfway through, it can be attacked!" ”
Although Li Tong's commanding ability is strong, his experience in mountain warfare is naturally far less thorough than that of Zang Balai, and he naturally follows everything.
Yuan Tan was in the Chinese army at the moment, prancing forward, with an eager look on his face.
Just when the Chinese soldiers of Qingzhou were about to pass half, in an instant, dozens of feather arrows had been shot into the Yuan army's formation, and some Qingzhou Yuan soldiers who had not had time to react quickly fell to the ground on the spot.
But after all, the sky was dark, and the mountain was unstable, and there was no place to rely on the crossbow, most of the first round of arrows ordered by Zang Ba were missed, and many Yuan Jun who were hit by the arrows were only injured by flesh and skin, and it didn't matter.
Several soldiers hurriedly took out their shields to block Yuan Tan's left and right.
Yuan Tan pulled the reins of his horse, reacted in his heart, and shouted: "Shield defense!" It's a sneak attack by the Tao Army! Quick, put up all the shields! ”
Yuan's generals were indeed well-trained, and under the sudden attack, they quickly set up their formations, and waited for the side that shot at the arrows, and fought cautiously.
After knowing that the losses of his own soldiers and horses were not large, Yuan Tan immediately knew that the combat strength of the ambush generals on the mountain should not be very strong, and immediately issued an order to order the Yuan army in Qingzhou to attack.
Zang Ba wrinkled his nose, and his heart was not very happy.
This first wave of arrows was a bit too much of a failure.
He ordered the crossbowmen on the mountain to regroup and let them take aim.
"Quick, release the arrows, set up the head for Lao Tzu!"
"Shoot, shoot the arrow!"
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Round after round of arrows rain fell down the city, and the Qingzhou Yuan army, who rushed to the front to climb the mountain, was shot down on the spot, but the Yuan army did not stop, they stepped on the corpses of their companions or the bodies that were still screaming, and continued to rush towards the mountain, like an uncontrollable flood...... It's just a flood that rushes upwards.
Li Tong behind Zang Ba was a little nervous.
Seeing a large number of Qingzhou troops surging upwards, Li Tong couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, and said to Zang Baba: "The strong soldiers in the north are really brave, they are by no means idle, such a fierce soldier who is not afraid of death, it is really rare in my life!" ”
Zang Ba snorted coldly and said, "What's so nervous about this?" Lao Tzu Xiao has gathered in the mountains and forests of Langya for many years, if he can't even get a partial division of Yuan Shao, then the name of the five heroes of Mount Tai will be called in vain! ”
Seeing that those Qingzhou Yuan troops who were climbing the mountain were only dozens of steps away from Shanli, Zang Ba finally ordered to use a killer move.
Unlike the city wall battle, the mountain is full of dirt, and there are no wall battlements, and sometimes the place where you stand is not at a good angle because the slope of the hill is too large, so the sharpness of the crossbow arrows is far weaker than when you are on the city wall.
But in addition to bows and crossbows, rolling stones, wooden stakes, and haystacks splashed with sulfur and grease are the most terrifying and sharp existences in this kind of mountain warfare.
The Tao army on the mountain was ordered to set the straw balls on fire, and in an instant, one after another huge ignition objects appeared on the entire mountainside, reflecting the entire horizontal mountain as if it were day.
Zang Ba looked up at the dark sky, smiled, and said, "The wind is just right!" …… Push it down! ”
And Yuan Jun under the mountain saw the fireball halfway up the mountain, and finally began to show a frightened expression.
No matter how brave the soldiers in the north are, in the face of natural disasters such as fire and water, it is impossible not to be afraid if they are still human beings, this is the nature of human beings and cannot be changed.
Huge fireballs rolled down the mountain, leaving a path on the mountain that had been burned by flames.
At this moment, those Qingzhou Yuan troops who bravely climbed the mountain finally couldn't resist, and many soldiers almost subconsciously turned around and began to run down the mountain.
In the difficult mountain road and the speed of rolling objects, it is impossible for people to gain the upper hand, many Yuan soldiers who did not have time to run back were touched by the flames and let out a painful wail, but the really miserable was those Yuan Jun who were directly hit by the fireball, they were covered with burns, and they did not find a water source to extinguish the fire on their bodies for a while, so they could only let the fire burn more and more vigorously on their bodies, and the terrible wails made everyone present frightened and inexplicable, and felt that those who were burned seemed to be in hell.
"Stakes, rolling stones! I put it at the same time! Zang Ba continued to give orders.
The deterrent effect of the flames is huge, but the real damage to the enemy is not much, and the real damage can be caused by stakes and rolling stones.
"Rush forward! Rush forward and get out of this mountain road! Yuan Tan shouted angrily at those soldiers, his voice was terrible, and the sound released was like an angry roar, which made people can't help but be stunned when they hear it.
But the problem is that the current Chinese army of Qingzhou Yuan Army can't move forward at all, because directly in front of them, the vanguard soldiers in front of Qingzhou Yuan Army are running back one after another, as if something terrifying is driving them away.
One forward, the other backward, the two sides collided together, naturally forming a huge blockage.
Not long after, the thing that made the vanguard of the Yuan Army in Qingzhou terrifying appeared.
Tai Shici held a halberd and wore silver armor, leading an elite Xuzhou army to rush towards the Yuan army in Qingzhou like a hurricane.
And what was hanging in front of his war horse was the head of Wu Yao, the vanguard of the Yuan army, who had just passed through the mountain road.
The appearance of Tai Shici can be regarded as completely blocking Yuan Tan's forward route.
The generals behind Tai Shi Ci were not in a hurry to move forward, they were just holding the Jinling Repeater and following Tai Shi Ci's slow advance, and the crossbow in his hand was not in a hurry...... It's just an arrow, an arrow, an arrow that methodically shoots the Yuan army that is blocked on the official road.
"There is an enemy ahead, and there is an enemy ahead......"
"The Captain is dead! The vanguard army is defeated! ”
"Quick, get on the horse."
"I've been shot, ah! Save me, save me! ”
Yuan Tan frowned, swept away the shield soldiers who were protecting him beside him, and began to gallop towards the front with a war knife in hand.
Along the way, there were many panicked soldiers blocking his way, and Yuan Tan did not hesitate to kill these deserters under his horse.
His fierce behavior and attitude made the scene stable for a while.
The problem is that he pushed away the shield soldiers who were guarding him, but he also exposed Yuan Tan's figure to the light of the fire.
Yuan Tan rushed forward vigorously, swaddling, and killing the defector, and gradually, his figure appeared in Tai Shici's line of sight.
Tai Shici immediately judged Yuan Tan's identity just based on what he was wearing.
A grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he took out the treasure carving bow from under the saddle, bent the bow and arrows, and aimed at Yuan Tan.
At this time, he suddenly heard the lieutenant general behind him, Captain Zhu Huan stepped forward and admonished: "General, Taifu has an order, just defeat the enemy, don't hurt the life of Yuan Shao's son!" ”
Tai Shi Ci woke up when he heard this, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
The third brother's courage is inevitably a little smaller, since he has already broken with Yuan Shao, why is he afraid of hurting his son's life?
Could it be that at this time, he was still afraid of offending Yuan Shao?
However, ideas are ideas, and Tai Shici still will not disobey the military orders of the potters.
He said indifferently: "Got it!" ”
Then, I saw that as soon as his two fingers were loosened, a terrible arrow pierced the air, and it shot at Yuan Tan with a roar!
