Chapter 309: Desperate Charge

In the dark night, Jiang Qin raised the ring head knife in his hand, under the sparse moonlight, the blade was shiny, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that this knife is from the Heavenly Workshop!

Although the weapons of the Tiangongfang are only sold to Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Jiangdong are allies after all, and they often give gifts to each other, and Liu Bei will occasionally give one or two weapons that Liu Yi personally supervised as gifts, which is also to show Jiangdong his strength in smelting.

Secret rivalry between allies is common, and Fu Shiren will occasionally use some ordnance operations to send old weapons to soldiers as new, and new weapons are secretly sent to Jiangdong, as for the Tiangongfang to recover, some old weapons are sent over to make up the number.

Every once in a while, Tiangongfang will smelt some obsolete weapons in large quantities and use them to forge some civilian farm tools and the like, Fu Shiren is careful to do it, and Fu Shiren is not the only one in Jingzhou who does this kind of thing, so it has not been discovered for a long time.

The weapon in Jiang Qin's hand was sent by Liu Bei as a gift, and many of Jiangdong Meng's generals were equipped with one, and at this moment, the ring head knife was in Jiang Qin's hand, flashing with a cold luster, Jiang Qin was ready to take advantage of the night to break through and strive to recapture the city gate, so that Zhou Tai could wave his troops to attack, and they could also turn defeat into victory and capture Jiangling.

The Jiangdong soldiers trapped in the city gathered around Jiang Qin, and when Jiang Qin gave an order, they immediately launched a charge.

In the night, a little firelight lit up from the direction of Shuizhai, and then quickly spread to this side, Jiang Qin, who was about to order a breakthrough, was stunned and shouted: "Who set the fire!?" ”

"General, it wasn't our people who set the fire!" The face of the general is ugly.

Jiang Qin also reacted at this time, the location of the fire was far away from their gathering place, and the most important thing was that it was downwind, and the fire borrowed the wind, and the flames rushed up all of a sudden.

Before Jiang Qin could react, fires also appeared on the east and west sides, and spread rapidly, Jiang Qin's complexion changed greatly, and he shouted: "Break through to the north gate!" ”

In fact, there is no need for him to order, the Jiangdong soldiers have begun to run north, the scorching air wave will envelop this area in an instant, seeing that the monstrous fire is about to burn over, if you face the Jingzhou soldiers, these Jiangdong soldiers may not have the courage to fight even if they are in a desperate situation, but in the face of this natural power, people are small and humble in it, and no one wants to be burned alive.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

In the distance, the sound of machinery was heard, followed by a large number of crockpots falling from the sky, and in the darkness, they shattered to the ground.

A Jiangdong soldier smelled the strong smell of fire oil, his face changed, and he rushed forward in a panic, shouting in his mouth: "It's fire oil, run~"

In the heart-rending screams, the brain was hit by a crockpot falling from the sky, and in an instant, the brain burst out, and the fire oil splashed all over the body, and there was no sound.

"Quick!" Jiang Qin urged the soldiers to rush forward, but his heart sank, the other party set fire on three sides, leaving the north alone, of course, because of the current wind direction, worried about spreading himself, but he was almost sure that since the other party did not hesitate to burn the city by himself, the north was by no means as safe as it seemed, but at this moment, in the face of the fire gradually spreading from three sides, how could they have a choice?

If you rush north, you will encounter fierce resistance from the enemy, and you will be able to break through the opponent's barrier. After all, there is a glimmer of life, but if they don't rush, they will only be burned alive by the spreading fire.

There is no choice, there is only one way.

There are constantly crockpots falling and shattering, splashing fire oil contaminated with flames, making the fire spread faster, even if they have been running, Jiangdong soldiers can feel the flames in the rear are constantly approaching them, and people are constantly entangled in flames, the crockpots that were projected before splashed fire oil on many people, and the terrible howls are like the chains of death, urging everyone to run wildly.

Jiang Qin gritted his teeth and rushed to the front, after crossing a laneway, his eyes suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of him was a large area of empty ruins, and he could see a lot of ruins, obviously, the other party had been preparing for this matter all day today.

On the empty ruins, a group of men and horses have been arrayed in the ruins, there are thousands of troops, and the moment they saw Jiang Qin rushing out with people, the corner of the mouth of the general who had been guarding here flashed a cruel smile, slowly raised his hand, and then slashed down: "Release!" ”

With a loud shout, three hundred crossbowmen and five hundred archers fired arrows in Jiang Qin's direction at the same time.

The Jiangdong soldiers who had just rushed out of the sea of fire and had not had time to rejoice for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe fell down in pieces, Jiang Qin saw that the opportunity was not good, and hurriedly rolled on a lazy donkey, so he threw himself on the ground, dodging the first wave of arrow rain, and then quickly rushed into the alley, the power of the crossbow, he had seen it today, this thirty steps away, no matter who was shot, there was no reason to be spared.

It's just that Jiang Qin was able to avoid it, and the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed out with him didn't have such a good fate, and they died in an instant.

Then the soldiers who rushed hurriedly stopped the momentum, but the soldiers in the rear saw that they were about to be annihilated by the sea of fire, where was they willing, they frantically squeezed forward, squeezing out the soldiers in front, and some even directly drew their swords to attack their robes.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Qin only felt that his eyes were about to split, and he shouted angrily, looking up to the sky and roaring, with endless pathos in his voice, the Jiangdong soldiers around him were attracted by Jiang Qin's roar, and unconsciously stopped and looked at their general.

"Soldiers!" Jiang Qin turned his head and looked at the familiar or unfamiliar cheeks, among which there were one or two Jiangling people mixed in, but he had no intention of paying attention to it at the moment.

"Retreat, it's death, waiting here is also death, forward or death!" Jiang Qin closed his eyes in pain: "Jiang Qin is incompetent, he failed to lead his brothers to fight a fortune, but today he wants to hate this!" ”

When a group of Jiangdong soldiers heard this, they fell silent, and there were still people in the rear who were constantly pushing, but as Jiang Qin said, the left and right were dead, and they were already desperate.

"But ......" Jiang Qin's eyes suddenly opened, looked at these soldiers, and shouted: "Although I can't live, I can choose how I die!" The eldest husband was born in the world, that is, he died, and he also died on the way to the charge, called Jingzhou rats, knowing that my Jiangdong Erlang is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Slowly walking out of the bunker, Jiang Qin silently raised the ring head knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Jiangdong Erlang, kill with me!" ”

Rushed out, followed by three sharp arrows through the chest, Jiang Qin's eyes widened angrily, gritted his steel teeth, and continued to rush out a few steps with difficulty, his body had been shot into a hedgehog by the arrows, so he kept the charging posture straight and straight, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Kill!" Perhaps inspired by Jiang Qin's heroic death, more than not, he was in a desperate situation, and a desperate courage brewed from fear, the remaining Jiangdong soldiers raised their weapons one after another and launched a death charge towards the Jingzhou army on the opposite side.

This is a desperate charge that has been doomed to the end, there is no hope of survival, the crossbow under the command of Deng Ai, divided into three groups, one group of fire, one group of standby and one group of crossbow boxes, so back and forth, forming a dense arrow array, shooting all the remnants of Jiangdong who rushed out to the ground.

Naturally, there are also greedy people who choose to kneel and ask for surrender, but there are not many, the fire in the rear has already spread, and the Jingzhou army has no time to pick up the prisoners, but the visual impact caused by such many factors is extremely shocking.

Deng Ai watched the last Jiangdong soldier staring at the hideous eyes less than ten steps away from the crossbowmen in the front row, holding the war knife in his hand, and fell to the ground unwillingly, an indescribable shock echoed in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

The war has ended, and the fire has spread to this side, but the Jingzhou soldiers around are silent, although they are enemies, they are equally respectable.

Deng Ai took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Retreat!" Order someone to put out the fire! ”

"Whoa!"

The Jingzhou army slowly withdrew, the quiet was terrible, even on Deng Ai's face, there was not much joy after the victory, the people who had already prepared buckets around them hurriedly rushed up and began to splash water frantically, so as not to continue to spread the fire and sweep the entire city, the rich households in the city were the most active at this moment, and the fire oil plus the wind, if it spread to the whole city, it was them who suffered the most, and the families and guards were sent out to help extinguish the fire.

It lasted until the early hours of the morning, because Deng Ai had made enough preparations, demolished a large number of houses in advance, and with a large number of people, the fire was finally stabilized and gradually extinguished.

Most of the corpses of the Jiangdong army have been scorched, and Jiang Qin's corpse is still identified by weapons, but there is no way to cut off the head anymore, and such a character, Deng Ai is not very willing to cut off his head, so he ordered someone to collect Jiang Qin's corpse, and after retreating from the enemy, hand it over to Jiangdong or find a place to bury, as for the other Jiangdong soldiers, Deng Ai just asked people to pile up their corpses and burn them completely with branches.

Zhou Tai also sensed the fire in the city outside the city, and launched a crazy attack overnight, wanting to rescue Jiang Qin, but unfortunately, Mi Fang's troops were sufficient, and he had been guarding against Zhou Tai from attacking the city overnight, fighting all night, and in the end Zhou Tai failed to succeed, but lost a large number of soldiers, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Jiangling.

It's just that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are brothers and sisters, before defecting to Sun Quan, they were already water thieves begging for a living in the Yangtze River, and now seeing that their brothers have been trapped in the city for many years, there are many auspicious and less, but Jiangling City is hopeless, Zhou Tai is almost crazy, and after seeing that he is unable to attack the city again, he immediately sent people and horses to Gong'an and Yueyang, and asked for the deployment of troops to attack Jiangling together.

It's a pity that at the same time, the situation of the Jiangdong Army in Gong'an and Yueyang is not much better than that of Jiangling, and even ...... Worse!
