Chapter 47: Flint Burning Arrows

The original ancients were born marksmen, and although they have been away from the grassland for so many years, the army of the original dynasty has always spared no effort in the cultivation of archers. After the instructions of Chakhan Timur were delivered, the archers dispersed according to the order, and sure enough, the losses were much less.

The archers' arrows were finally fired at the crashing troops, and it seemed that there was a rain of arrows in the sky, but the warriors around the crashing car were unmoved, and did not even raise their heads, but just pushed the crashing car with all their might.

Once these arrows rain into the crashing troops, the thousand-strong squad may not be able to withstand it for a moment and will have to be sacrificed. Of course, Zhang Shicheng would not allow this kind of thing to happen, and at this time, Zhang Ying's Yue cavalry army played a role.

When Zhang Ying retreated with Zhu Chuba, Zhang Shicheng immediately ordered the Vietnamese cavalry to rush to protect the crashing troops. The Vietnamese cavalry were all cavalry and extremely mobile. But their purpose was to fend off the rain of arrows, and of course it was impossible to block them with their bodies, so they all came with shields. Before the rain of arrows fell on the crashing troops, Zhang Ying had already led the Vietnamese cavalry to hold up a shield and surround the crashing troops.

The shield is very large, but it is impossible to leave no gaps at all, especially since the Yue cavalry is still riding horses, and the larger the volume, the larger the gaps exposed. This round of arrows rained down, and the mounts of the Vietnamese cavalry soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground. If this development continues, the 5,000 Yue cavalry army will not last long.

Zhang Shicheng couldn't see the change in position on the city wall, but he could see the arrows pouring down. He knew that the original army on the city wall had found a way to avoid the trebuchet boulders, and he had been prepared for this.

Zhang Shicheng stretched out his palm again and slapped it three times on the top of his head. Luo Guangyu saw the marshal's instructions, nodded his head in understanding, and then roared: "Brothers, prepare the flint, let the original dogs taste the power of the fierce beast that can spit fire." ”

The so-called flint is to wrap a layer of flammable grass on the surface of the boulder, and then pour oil, and after ignition, the boulder can be wrapped in a raging flame. The target of the flint is not the soldier, but the arrow behind the archer. No matter how powerful the arrow is, it is also an arrow handle made of wood. As long as the flame on the flint sticks to the handle of the arrow, the arrow can be ignited. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful the archers of the original army are, they are still plucked roosters without arrows.

The flint burst out of the air, and the blazing flames shook in the wind. The archer's arrows are laid on the ground so that they can be picked up at any time. As soon as the flint came, the archers crouched under cover, but the arrows were exposed to the flames. The moment the flint fell, a path of fire rose on the ground. Arrows were ignited along the way, and the temperature on the walls rose suddenly.

When the arrows were ignited, Timur rushed out like a firefighter to rescue the arrows that had not yet been ignited. The generals lead the way, and the soldiers, of course, will not be idle. For a while, it was as if there was a firefighting scene in the tense battle. The scene on the city wall was very chaotic for a while, but the efforts of Chakhan Timur eventually paid off, and although the number of arrows lost was still staggering, the remaining number was not inevitable because of the sufficient preparation in front of the station.

"All the archers, the arrows in their hands are concentrated in me, each of them will receive ten arrows to carry with them, and they will come back to collect them when they run out."

Tsakhan Timur was afraid that the enemy would fire flint again, so he moved all the arrows to a safe place and guarded them himself. There are not many arrows left, and they really can't withstand another round of attrition.

Luo Guangyu's flint did not stop, but it did not play a big role. The rain of arrows continued to fall towards the crashing troops, and Zhang Shicheng's eyes froze, looking at the direction of the Vietnamese cavalry protecting the crashing troops, and the worry on his face lingered.

Zhu Chuba also saw the rain of arrows that kept falling, his feelings for Zhang Ying were very complicated, and the ambiguity of that night had been echoing in his mind. Zhang Ying is very cute and stubborn, he can't bear it, he can't bear to fall into such a dangerous situation for such an excellent girl. Therefore, Zhu Chuba took the initiative to propose to Zhang Shicheng that he would lead another cavalry unit to help. Zhang Shicheng's concern about Zhang Ying would only be above Zhu Chuba, so he agreed without thinking about it, and arched his hand towards Zhu Chuba: "There is General Lao Zhu." ”

Zhu Chuba looked at Han Yu, and Han Yu also nodded in agreement. The safety of the crashing troops is directly related to whether or not the city can be captured, and there must be no mistakes.

Zhu Chuba immediately ordered 10,000 cavalry in the Red Turban Army and rushed in the direction of Zhang Ying.

......

Chakhan Timur expected the battle to be difficult, but he did not expect to fall into such a passive situation. At the beginning of the war, there had not been even a moment of smile on his face, and the expression on his face was even more gloomy at this moment.

Suddenly, Chakhan Timur's expression moved. He looked at the army of red turbans in the distance and thought of a person.

"Perhaps, he can help me."

Chakhan Timur muttered to himself.

After a while, Tsakhan Timur made up his mind, and he called Yin Duli, the governor of Yingzhou, who had been hiding in the base since the start of the war.

"Duzhou Yin, General Ben wants you to help me do something."

Du Li had never fought a war, and as a civilian official, he had never seen the scenes of war. The previous battle had already scared him a lot, and he was still glad that he was only a civilian official and did not need to participate in this war. At this moment, Chakhan Timur suddenly said to him that he wanted him to do a favor, and Du Li instantly thought that he was going to go to the battlefield by himself, and waved his hand again and again: "Lord Qincha Mingjian, Xia Guan is only a civil official, and he doesn't know how to fight at all, and you send me to fight is completely to send me to death." ”

Chakhan Timur was full of contempt for the timid and cowardly Du Li in his heart, but he didn't show it: "Lord Zhou Yin is too worried, General Ben knows that you can't fight, how can he send you out at such a critical moment!" General Ben is looking for you for something else. ”

Du Li breathed a sigh of relief and calmed his heartbeat: "In this case, Lord Qincha can rest assured, as long as I am not asked to go to war, I can say anything." ”

Chakhan Timur leaned over, Du Li was surprised, and took the initiative to put his ear up. Chahan Timur whispered a few words to Du Li, and Du Li's expression was relieved: "That's it, Lord Qincha, don't worry, Yingzhou City is still my territory, of course, this kind of trivial matter will be handled for you as soon as possible." ”

Chakhan Timur nodded indifferently and said: "Well, this matter is entrusted to Lord Yin, it must be done as soon as possible, if he resists, he must not hurt his life, and more people will tie him up to see me." Remember, don't hurt their lives. ”

Du Li nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord Qincha, the next official will do it." ”
