Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Yang Chapter 46 Heaven Doesn't Help Me
The rain of arrows continued to pour wildly, but more and more of the Karasuma people erupted into a rage in their desperation of knowing that they were going to die, and they brazenly straightened up from their horses and began to bend their bows in response.
This kind of counterattack, which seemed to be a dying struggle, caused more Karasuma people to fall like dumplings, but it also posed a certain threat to the Bohai Navy soldiers for the first time.
The veterans relied on the body of the chariot as a cover, and while continuing to attack the enemy, they carefully dodged the enemy's arrows, and so far there have been no casualties. The recruits, especially the young men of the Red Eagle Battalion, had barely overcome the fear of the first battle with bitter hatred for the Karasuma people, and they were already red-eyed at the moment, just like the Karasuma people on the other side, almost completely ignoring their own defenses, facing the enemy army's approach, and shooting fiercely with arrows and arrows. In just a few breaths, more than a dozen people collapsed.
On the other hand, those female soldiers who are also new to the battle formation, but they show great flexibility, they imitate the movements of the veterans, hide behind the car in groups of several people, listen to the commanders from the veterans from afar, follow their rhythm, probe, shoot, conceal, pull the string, and actually form an effective fire countermeasure.
The Karasuma people almost stepped on the corpses of their own people, and they rushed forward one after the other, rushing through in the blink of an eye, and as long as they could launch a melee battle outside the car formation, they could interrupt the frequency of the Han army's firing. At that time, the Karasuma people, who are constantly backing up, will calmly overcome one defense line after another.
Hundreds of black round objects suddenly shot out from the Han army's formation, swirling in the air and falling far into the Karasuma people's charging formation.
The sound of "clang" and "clang" came continuously, and many unlucky eggs were hit in the head and fell straight off the horse.
A round ball burst open on the head of one of the Karasuma cavalrymen, splattering a large chunk of viscous liquid, and one of the following Karasuma Hakucho was splashed all over his body.
The chief touched his face suspiciously: "What the hell is this?" ”
Suddenly, his pupils shrank smaller than the tip of a needle. Although he had never seen oil, the pungent smell and the viscous form of oil could only make him guess the most.
Bai Chang's mournful cry resounded in the ears of the Karasuma people: "Beware of fire attacks ......"
As if to verify Na Baichang's judgment, a large group of "fire crows" swooped down from the sky again, covering the entire area in an instant.
The strange fire of "boom" was like a fountain of fire gushing from all over the ground, and in an instant, at least 2,000 Karasuma cavalry were swept away. Countless fire men and horses jumped, struggled, and rolled in the fire, and the sound of screams like ghosts crying out made all the warriors on both sides of the enemy and us terrified.
The most terrifying thing was not here, the hundreds of Karasuma warriors who had already rushed to the car formation suddenly realized that they had become lone and had no support. Behind him was the heat wave of the rolling fire, except for the comrades who had been reduced to human meat barbecue were still dying, and more reinforcements had been cut off from the farther fire, unable to move forward. And the follow-up troops outside the corner of the road continued to pour in without knowing it, squeezing the companions who were frantically reining in and retreating into the flame cemetery little by little....... this is simply a tragic tragedy!
The Karasuma people were finally afraid. Qiu Liju, who commanded the battle from afar, gave the military order to retreat with a miserable expression.
Listening to the sound of the horn of the retreat, the hundreds of Karasuma cavalry trapped in the fire and the chariot array were all terrified, and just as they were in a dilemma, someone in the Han army began to shout in Karasuma dialect: "Dismount immediately and be bound, and those who surrender will not die!" ”
The feelings of defeat and despair spread like a plague, and I don't know who was the first to abandon their weapons and jump off their horses, and soon, more than 300 Karasuma people fell to their knees in despair.
"What a terrible fire attack!" Not only Sun Ce was so embarrassed that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also frightened, and the corners of their eyes twitched. Let himself have unparalleled martial arts, once he is caught in such an inescapable fire array, there is only one way to die.
Looking at Nanying's gaze again, several people couldn't help but have a trace of awe, they had long heard that this Eagle Yang Zhonglang was good at fire attack, and he had slaughtered tens of thousands of yellow turbans in Thorn Mountain, which seemed to be really worthy of his reputation.
Sun Ce was stunned for a long time before he wondered; "General, didn't you say that prisoners of war would not be accepted? Now that we are fighting the enemy with all our might, it is even more difficult to divide the manpower to guard them...... Could it be that the general has another meaning? ”
"Illusion, everything is illusion!" Nanying's low voice did not have half of the post-battle joy of defeating the enemy, but there was an indescribable dazed and sad feeling, every forced fire attack caused the lives to be miserable, how could he be indifferent in his heart? Everything is for the sake of victory, for more brothers to live......
"Since the enemy knows the name of his general, he will definitely take advantage of the superiority of his forces to attack with all his strength, so as to test the true intentions of our army...... Our troops could only not give an inch, and they returned the favor with a tooth for a tooth, which made them feel that our army's blockade seemed to be a long-planned action. And in the face of these desperate surrendered troops, we don't want to accept it, but we can't help it. Because all the illusions have been done perfectly, the general could not have miscalculated in this detail, so that the enemy general could see the truth of our army's refusal to accept prisoners of war because of the lack of strength! ”
"The general is clever!" Sun Ce, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei praised heartily at the same time.
"Actually, Yide had already guessed it before!" Nan Ying gradually lost the complicated color on his face, and said with a smile: "If you can kill the enemy chieftain, of course, you can deter the enemy and confuse the enemy general's judgment." However, Ben would never have allowed Yide to take risks! ”
"Thank you for your concern!" A trace of emotion flashed on Zhang Fei's face, and he immediately said: "Since everything is as the general expected, then, what should our army do next?" ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Sun Ce suddenly realized: "One is to compete for morale, and the other is to win momentum, but what is this third step?" ”
"Confrontation!" Nan Ying said calmly: "The enemy army has suffered such a big loss, of course, it will give rise to fear and hesitation. As long as we can hold this line firmly, in a day or two, the enemy will be forced to retreat...... Because they were not only unable to accomplish the expected strategic goal of encircling and annihilating General Lu's main force, but also faced the threat of being encircled by our army and the Han army from all walks of life, they could only flee away unwillingly! ”
"However, if the enemy continues to attack desperately, will our army be able to hold on for a day or two?" Sun Ce was a little worried: "After all, they still have nearly 50,000 people!" ”
"See?" Nan Ying pointed to the unabated fire in front of him: "Ben Jiang used half of the fire oil at once, not just to take the lead...... This kind of oil does not go out when exposed to water, and the burning time is even longer, which is enough to help us win precious time! ”
"Yes...... Yes! Sun Ce looked at the fire in the distance with palpitations: "At the critical juncture, if we use the fire oil tactic again, we will definitely force the enemy to retreat!" ”
"At this time, I believe that Liu Bei has already met with General Lu, right?" Nan Ying looked up at the sky and muttered, "Not to mention how General Ben will deal with it here, what decision will General Lu make?" ”
"The resistance of the Han army is far beyond our imagination!" Su Fuyan, who had always been calm, also showed surprise, and he shrugged his nose, as if he could still smell the scorching stench of roasted human flesh in the air.
He couldn't help but shiver excitedly, in the fierce battle just now, his men and horses had not yet been put into reserve as a reserve, and the battle ended strangely because of a terrible fire. This couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart that he was lucky, but he was afraid of the next battle.
"What about the casualties in the various departments?" Zhang Chun's subordinates did not have time to enter the battlefield, but he did not show the slightest hint of happiness, he saw that several Karasuma lords were a little unkind, and snorted coldly: "Don't be mistaken!" Will Ben be in the mood to see your jokes right now? Don't forget, we're all in the same boat now! ”
"Seven hundred of my troops are dead, and three or four hundred are wounded, right?" Uyan spoke first.
"I'm about the same when I go to the valley and the valley!" Nanlou was a little angry and said: "Let the cavalry attack the high ground on the back, isn't this a clear let us be sent to death?" ”
"Master Qiu Liju...... Zhang Chun looked at the Karasuma man who lowered his head and was still trembling slightly: "Your department has lost ......"
"What do you mean, this king understands!" Qiu Liju raised his head indifferently: "Do you want to assess the combat power of the Han army in front of you?" ”
"Then this king will tell the truth!" He said fiercely: "In just a short moment, the five thousand elite horsemen sent by this king have only returned in the early two thousand...... At least 2,500 people were killed on the spot, and hundreds more were captured by the enemy after being caught in the fire! ”
"This ...... Such a big loss! Nanlou was shocked, and the little resentment in his heart that lost his soldiers and generals disappeared immediately. Compared to Qiu Liju, his little loss can be said to be insignificant.
"Well, everything is obvious!" Zhang Chun nodded with a heavy face: "This Han army must be prepared...... The Battle of Jixian is no longer feasible, should our army immediately consider withdrawing? ”
"Withdrawal?" Nanlou shouted: "So many people died in vain, is it just that?" ”
"Not bad!" Su Fuyan also said with a worried face: "If we give up this battle, then what about Zhang Ju, who is trapped in Jixian County?" They are only afraid that they will be more auspicious! ”
"So what do you say?" Qiu Liju suddenly shouted: "The Han army has enough arrows and supplies, as well as terrible firearms...... The king now even suspects that the joining of the Huns was also a premeditated plan! ”
"Is it really a conspiracy against us?" Wu Yan said in disbelief: "But no matter what, it is impossible for any of our people to leak secrets!" How could the Han army have worked out such a preemptive action? ”
"Regardless of whether they were premeditated or not, the Han army in front of them, which has firearms to help, is definitely not something we can capture in a moment and a half!" Zhang Chun said categorically: "With the passage of time, our hope of success in raiding Lu Zhi has become more and more slim! Unless ......"
He sighed and looked up at the sky, and suddenly he shook violently, revealing an expression of ecstasy in disbelief.
"What? General Mitian, what do you say? Qiu Liju's deep gaze fell on Zhang Chun's face: "Unless what?" ”
"Unless ......" Zhang Chun stared at the large dark clouds slowly drifting in the distance, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Heaven is beautiful!" ”
In the Han army vehicle array opposite, Nan Ying was also staring at the black clouds drifting in, his face full of bitterness. How many times has this been? This was the case on the banks of Yingshui, the consequence of which was the near-annihilation of the entire army. Why do you encounter this kind of "auspicious" thing every time you are in trouble? Or is there a master in the dark, who has been watching every move of his "stowaway", and from time to time he has such calamities and tests?
"God won't help me!" He finally let out a long sigh.
