Chapter 219: Siege by Tricks (20)
The more fortunate one was the rebel at the back of the team, who was still worried that he would not even have meat scraps left if he squeezed slowly, but at this time, after seeing the sudden arrival of the heavenly fire, the first thing he thought of was not how to retreat, nor how to fight the fire, let alone find a way to rescue his companions, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, and even secretly rejoiced in his heart with a gloating attitude.
As the fires descended, more and more horses and rebels fell, freeing up more and more open space, which also contributed to the spread of the fire. The rebels on the periphery, although they did not receive the retreat order from their own commander Feng Guo, also knew that the wisest choice in this situation was to evacuate the place, rather than continue to rush forward.
Under the chaotic command of some middle and lower-level generals in the rear, the rebels in the rear gradually stabilized their positions and began to slowly retreat back, but the most congested was around the fence that was broken up not long ago. At this time, the retreat was indiscriminate, and even the orders heard by the rebels were varied, the general had just shouted to retreat from the left, but there was a shout from the right that the gap was conducive to retreat, and the rebels who did not have a unified order had to rely on their own 'beliefs', almost aimlessly running around, just hoping to exit the camp safely, and then flee all the way back to Yazhou.
In the midst of the turmoil, there were still many soldiers who lost their horses for various reasons, so they had to follow the surrounding cavalry companions or flee outward, but most of them would be suddenly knocked to the ground by their companions or directly knocked out by the war horses that suddenly rushed out, and they could not escape from this sea of fire after all.
Those lucky rebels, with the efforts of officers from low to high, finally gathered into formations that could still be seen in the past. Immediately afterwards, a general at the highest level on the spot didn't care whether the commander Feng Guo had been buried in the fire or still survived, and commanded the 'army' to return to Yazhou.
Jumping over the trap filled during the attack, the rebels realized how stupid they were, and how stupid and ignorant Feng Guo was as the commander! is an obvious ambush, but it still has to rush in! But while complaining and cursing, the people who survived by luck have completely forgotten who was still in a hurry to rush forward just now, lest they not be able to get the seemingly extremely light battle feat.
As soon as they walked not far, the war horses under the crotches of the rebels had not completely let go of their speed, and they saw that hundreds of meters in front, there were already two rows of crossbow carts staggered in front and back, and even the crossbow arrows were fully wound and ready to go, and the faint sunlight sprinkled on the bright three-edged arrows, braving the slightest cold.
"Chirp..."
The neighing of the war horse suddenly rang out, and the rebels who were about to gallop reined in the war horses one after another, staring at the crossbow array in front of them with shocked faces.
The crossbow array is only about thirty ballista carts ready to go, and the escorts are only a few hundred, and counting all the manipulators, there are only about a thousand. But for more than half a year, it was these ballistas in front of them that almost kept hitting Yazhou City, and in more than half a year, the morale of the rebels had already been leveled and leveled.
In the hearts of the rebels, the ballista is completely synonymous with death, the vast majority of people have seen it with their own eyes, seven or eight hundred meters away, the ballista fired by the wooden pole crossbow arrows can actually penetrate the giant shield and shoot people through, and even some of the crossbow arrows shot at the head of the city can actually sink the entire three-edged arrow into the stone wall.
Whether it is a giant shield or a stone wall, absolutely no one in the rebel army at the moment dares to stand up and say that at a distance of six or seven hundred meters, the shooting of crossbow arrows that their flesh and blood can withstand, naturally no one dares to make any rash moves.
Li Xiaofeng, who had a miscellaneous war horse under his crotch, looked at the rebels in front of him behind the crossbow array, his contemptuous expression was clear on his face, he pursed his lips disdainfully, turned his head to Lin Leng who had just followed him, shook his head and shook his head with a smile: "Heh! It's such a rabble! I also want to sneak attack our army camp! Just in the face of those of us, no one dares to take a step forward! Hehe, just relying on these people, how can they compete with our Feng family army? How to be the enemy of Datang? ”
Hearing this, Lin Han smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and secretly slandered in his heart. If it weren't for the thousands of archers lying in ambush on both sides of the road, ready to give orders, in case the rebels were excited, rushing up with red eyes, see how you deal with the crossbow array! I've prepared everything in advance, and now I don't have a backache when I stand and talk!
However, Lin Han also understands the situation in front of him, even if there is no archer ambush, the rebels rush up at the risk of death, I am afraid it will not pose much of a threat to his side. Lin Han still agrees with the rabble that Li Xiaofeng said, after all, Lin Han also saw the process almost completely in his eyes, especially when Feng Guo ordered the body of a soldier to fill the trap pit, Lin Han was deeply ashamed of his unscrupulous means. At the same time, I also believe that under the leadership of such a general, the morale of the soldiers under his command will not be high.
"Hey! This rabble is really troublesome! It has reached this point that neither will it come forward to meet it, nor will it lay down its weapons and surrender! It looks like a bunch of fools! Li Xiaofeng shook his head and lightly clamped the horse's belly, and Lin Han also hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to follow behind, slowly crossed the crossbow array, and faced the rebel deserters who were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Lin Han urged the war horse a few times, crossed Li Xiaofeng to protect the side in front of him, and after seeing Li Xiaofeng raise his head to himself, he understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but urge the horse to move forward again, and after slowly stopping the war horse, he straightened his back, coughed lightly, and suddenly shouted to the rebels on the opposite side: "Put down your arms!" Forgive somebody's past misdeeds! Those who resist stubbornly will be killed!! ”
"Lay down your arms! Forgive somebody's past misdeeds!!! Those who resist stubbornly will be killed!! Lest the rebels hear clearly, the soldiers behind Li Xiaofeng put their horizontal knives on their horses, put their hands on their mouths, and shouted in unison.
"Lay down your arms! Forgive somebody's past misdeeds!!! Those who resist stubbornly will be killed!! ”
"It's okay to surrender! You can surrender. ”
As if they had heard great news, the rebel crowd suddenly exploded, and after the first shout repeated by the soldiers, some people began to react quickly and jumped off their horses and threw away their weapons, regardless of whether their generals surrendered or not, they raised their hands and ran towards the front of the team, while shouting: "I surrender!" I give up!! Masters on the other side, I surrender! ”
"I surrender too!! Don't kill me! I'm willing to surrender! ”
"I'm going to surrender too!"
"Surrender, surrender! I do!! ”
Fearing that the number of places to surrender would not be enough, the rebels began to rush to jump off their horses and raise their hands and run forward, those generals who didn't know what ideas they had in their hearts, saw this situation and knew that they couldn't hold on any longer, especially the several higher-ranking generals in front of the team, after glancing at each other, they also turned over and dismounted, hung their weapons on the saddle, and followed the surrender crowd with their heads down, and slowly walked forward.
