Chapter 465: Miscalculation
"Our bow and crossbow have a long range, put it within eighty paces, and then release the rocket!" Li Zhongyi turned his head and ordered in a low voice.
"Whoa." The herald repeated Li Zhongyi's order, and ran out quickly with a little excitement to give the order.
Three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps......
Yelu slanted his horse and galloped wildly, while secretly wondering, why hadn't Zhou Jun's bow and arrow been shot yet?
In the past, when Yelu slanted south from Nanjing Xijin Mansion and invaded the territory of the Southern Barbarians, under normal circumstances, as long as the distance between the two armies was less than 150 paces, the incompetent Southern Barbarian generals would panic and give the order to release the arrows.
What's going on today?
Even if Yelu is slanted, he has never seen the power of the divine arm bow before, although he has doubts in his heart, he never dreamed that Li Zhongyi held one of the best weapons in the era of cold weapons.
Since the outbreak of war between human beings, the weapons mastered by human beings have been developing rapidly in the direction of long-range, precision, and might.
From bows and arrows, crossbows, artillery, muskets, airplanes, transcontinental missiles, to space-exploratory vehicles, all of them interpret a simple logic: truth is only within the range of cannons!
The laws of the world still abide by the rules of the jungle, and no matter how pacifists argue, the law of the jungle is always the unchanging theme.
Therefore, when Yelu led the team into the killing area of eighty steps, Li Zhongyi waved his right hand downward.
"Dididi......" The unique copper flute sound of Yulin Right Guard sounded crisply.
Forthwith. The officers and soldiers of Zhou, who had been ready for a long time, drew their bows, loosened their strings, retreated, and wound their strings. The arrows, over and over again, are like a perpetual motion machine, endlessly.
"Ah......" The sound of the bowstring had just entered his ears, and Yelu immediately heard the screams around him, and he knew it very well in his heart after a long battle. That's the stern consequences of shooting through the heart.
The screams came and went. Although Yelu's heart sank violently, he still raised the small shield in his hand without hesitation, brandished a sharp scimitar, and rushed straight to the north gate of Runzhou, which was not completely closed.
Wait for Jerod to see clearly. The Zhou army at the head of Runzhou City. When it turned out to be a rocket, he couldn't help the evil anger in his chest, and the Khitan people cursed, blurted out, "......"
This national scolding of the Khitan people, translated from Chinese, is similar to his NND bear!
Li Zhongyi at the head of the city naturally couldn't hear Yelu's cursing. When he learned. When there was a fatal gap in the jack gate at the north gate of Runzhou, a bold decision was immediately made: to lure and annihilate the biggest threat force in the Khitan Zhongjing Road led by Yelu Xianzhen!
If the Wyvern-dragoon is powerful. Li Zhongyi would not have made such a decision, but unfortunately, although the training days of the Flying Dragon Cavalry were not short, the combat power was very worrying!
According to Li Zhongyi's own estimates, in the prairie, if you want to defeat a regular Khitan cavalry army that can fight well and has been on the battlefield for a long time, a five-to-one superiority is the minimum requirement!
On the vast prairie, if you can't win, you can run, and play guerrilla warfare, which really makes Li Zhongyi feel a little headache.
Li Zhongyi knew that he would not be able to completely annihilate Yelu's soldiers and horses, so he would naturally not adopt an offensive strategy that was too risky.
Therefore, ordering the Wyverces to hold on to a corner and contain one of Yelu's soldiers and horses became his best choice.
At this time, Yelu was crying bitterly, and dense rockets shot down from the city like splashing water, following the Khitan warriors on the left and right, and constantly emitting terrifying and terrible screams.
Just when Yelu was slightly distracted, suddenly, a chaotic arrow, vicious attack.
The cold light flashed in front of him, and Yelu immediately broke out in a cold sweat, almost subconsciously lowering his body.
"Ah......" A Khitan warrior behind him turned over and fell off his horse, and the next moment, he was trampled into meat sauce by the galloping countless horses' hooves.
Yelu hurriedly cheered up his spirit, carefully waved the small shield in his hand, and blocked left and right, just because, the Khitan warrior behind him replaced him with a quick reaction and ascended to the Immortal Heaven in advance.
Li Zhongyi at the head of the city could see clearly that Yelu was obviously out of the way, and the hundreds of Khitan warriors he led lost at least one-third of their soldiers and horses when they rushed to the vicinity of the city gate.
However, Yelu Xianzhen still took the lead without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye of Li Zhongyi, Yelu Xianzhen had already rushed into the dead corner of the city with men and horses.
Despite the extremely heavy losses, there were still many Khitan warriors who followed behind Yelu and rushed under the city gate.
Li Zhongyi saw this situation, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, there is no vanity under the fame!
"Someone, bring the fierce fire oil!"
Although Li Zhongyi felt more appreciative of Yelu's extraordinary courage, he still did not hesitate to give orders for the last thing that should be done.
There is a thousand jin gate barrier, even if Yelu oblique leads more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, he must dismount and fight.
At this moment, time is life, no one can afford to delay, further is life, take a step back and die!
This so-called, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!
However, the plan did not change quickly, and the old revolution always encountered new problems!
Just as the clay pot containing the fierce fire oil was carried up the city wall, the lamp oil on the road was suddenly ignited by a cold rocket, thus blocking the way.
Just yesterday, in order to better resist the attack of the Zhou army, Han Kuangsi sent people to dig three feet of ground in the city, looted the lamp oil and other fire-burning things, and the oil pot was also set up on the city wall.
Although the Zhou soldiers were very orderly when they attacked, a small amount of oil pot was still inevitably kicked over, and lamp oil splashed everywhere on the city wall.
Li Zhongyi was very worried in his heart, once the burning power of the fierce fire oil was ignited, it would be a catastrophe for the Zhou army above the city.
Therefore, just before Li Zhongyi ascended the north gate, his subordinates had already covered the ground with sacks, filled with sand.
However, Yelu's decisive assault interrupted the process of the Zhou army's elimination of the fire hazard.
The accident has finally happened!
Although the oil pot prepared by Han Kuangsi had been carried down from the city for the first time, the remaining lamp oil on the ground, after it was ignited, ignited the majestic fire, which finally disrupted Li Zhongyi's original plan.
The power of the fierce fire oil, others may not know it very well, how can Li Zhongyi not know? How dare he deploy the fierce fire oil to the city in advance without all preparations.
Alas, it is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!
After a short period of thought, Li Zhongyi decisively ordered, "Throw everything that can be burned in front of the city gate." (To be continued......)
