Chapter 574: Destroying the Withering

Summer Army Cooking Camp. Originally, this was a small temple dedicated to the god of the land, but now it is used by the Xia army as a place to make fires and make meals. The clay statue of the earth was smashed into several sections, which were used to hold the iron pot and steam and eat.

There is a secret passage to Ganzhou City under the ground of this temple, through which the Xia army entered Ganzhou City before. After Khorasan deliberately released poisonous smoke into the passage, the outlet was filled with sand. Now there is an iron pot on it, and the food is cooking.

Unexpectedly, the sand underneath suddenly collapsed inward. The iron pot also fell down, and most of the steaming vegetable soup was spilled in an instant.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! After being stunned for a moment, the soldiers of the Xia Army who reacted shouted loudly. The other soldiers immediately put down their work and ran over quickly.

At this point, a hole has been revealed at the exit! Although no one came out, everyone did not dare to act rashly.

"Hot oil! Hot oil! Fall down and burn those thieves! A soldier remembered the hot oil and immediately reminded.

But before they could make a move, a few black balls were thrown out of it.

"Hidden weapon!" , a soldier said loudly. Everyone subconsciously avoided their bodies, but after realizing that there was no danger, they turned around curiously one by one to look back. I saw that the black balls were emitting bursts of white smoke, which became more and more intense.

Some of the soldiers who got close began to cough loudly!

"Poison gas! It's poison gas! Many soldiers ran out of the camp with their legs open. But as more and more smoke bombs were thrown from the hole, the smoke on the field became thicker.

"Let's go!" , Manatus, who stayed in the secret passage, listened to the movement above and spoke up. Everyone immediately tightened the long knife in their hands, and their eyes came out with determination.

The shouts of killing immediately resounded throughout the audience! Killing and blood also became the main theme of the Xia army camp. Because of the existence of smoke, Xia Jun didn't know where the enemy was or how many people there were for a while. Some of the escaped Xia soldiers also shouted that there were tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Therefore, the panic immediately spread, and the soldiers of the Xia Army, whose morale had plummeted, had no intention of fighting.

Manaturi didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly, so he asked the soldiers below to pay attention to the formation and not to be greedy for merit. On the other hand, he sent someone to inform the defenders in the city and asked them to send more men.

In order to maintain the effect of the smoke, every few breaths, Manaturi releases a batch of smoke grenades. As a result, the smoke on the field not only showed no signs of dissipating, but became more and more intense. And he also relied on the innate advantage of more firewood in the cooking camp to set a big fire. Thick smoke billowed down and black smoke filled the air, making it even harder to see what was happening on the field.

Fortunately, the Khorasan soldiers are equipped with masks, and at this time, they wet their mouths and noses with water, so that they will not be choked by the smoke and unable to breathe. Not only that, but they could also use the dense fog to kill the scattered Xia army soldiers.

If you encounter a large number, throw a few fire mines. rushed over and slaughtered, constantly harvesting human lives.

Knowing that there was an enemy attack on the cooking camp, Wo Konoli ordered his generals to go to repel the enemy troops early in the morning, while he reorganized his troops and horses to deal with the approaching large force of cavalry. But when he saw the smoke of the cooking camp that had not stopped for a long time, he couldn't help but be angry.

But time doesn't allow him to rush to the rescue!

Because the 30,000 cavalry led by Li Chengji has appeared under his nose. The defenders of Ganzhou City also learned the news that their troops were coming to help, and hurriedly went up.

"Pass the order, feint three times, don't fall in love!" , Li Chengji commanded. Three rings means that the drum has sounded three times! After all, it is very inconvenient to send orders on the battlefield, so you can only use the sound of drums to transmit military orders.

Faraday is also one of the generals who rushed to the aid this time!

Previously, he was stationed in Hamili, and he was interested in the war in the Xia Kingdom. It's a pity that he didn't get the order, and he couldn't leave Hamili. Now that he got Li Chengji's promise, he immediately came with a large number of soldiers and horses.

Seeing that there was a guard against the summer army camp ahead, Faraday asked his soldiers and horses to keep moving slowly. In the end, he came from afar, and he didn't stop in the middle, and it was when the soldiers were tired and sleepy. If you rush over, you are likely to suffer a big loss.

The black cannons were also pulled out, and the Qiqi automatically got out of the way, allowing the soldiers of the artillery battalion to pull the cannons forward. Although there are not many of them, there are only three. But their momentum is terrifying, and it is still easy to bombard the Xia Junzhai Gate, which is not very strong.

And Xia Jun, on his side, also noticed Khorasan's unusual behavior.

"No! Don't let them come! Li Zunwei looked at the Khorasan army with a clairvoyant mirror, stood beside Wo Ke Yeli, and said urgently. This was captured from the Khorasan army, and it was really convenient to use.

After Li Zunwei got it, he often couldn't put it down.

"Don't worry, the last general will send troops to intercept it!" , Wo Ke Yeli was relieved, and ordered the generals to go to stop the enemy.

But Khorasan is not waiting for them to approach! The cavalry guarded around the artillery, and the brothers of the artillery battalion also began to adjust the angle, reload ammunition and prepare for ignition.

By the time the Xia army opened the camp gate and rushed in, the artillery had already been lit on Khorasan's side.

Just listen to the boom boom······ Three loud bangs in a row! Because the Xia army was advancing in formation, three shells passed and immediately bombarded the formation.

"Half the shells!" , Li Chengji came to the side of the artillery battalion general and ordered. Immediately, the artillery rang out one after another, passing through the attacking Xia army and directly bombarding the Xia army camp. Although the quasi-head is not very good, the camp tents of the Xia army are closely distributed.

The shells smashed into it, and finally caused losses to the Xia army. Some of the tents were also set ablaze by artillery fire, causing a large fire. Most surprisingly, the shells hit a tent with fire oil. As a result, the fire was so hot that it was too late for people to run.

It was also the oil that was used on the battlefield very early, so the Xia army was also equipped. Moreover, there are oil fields in the Xia Kingdom, which is more convenient to use. Therefore, in this counterattack on Khorasan, the Xia army camp also brought a lot.

But in the attack on Ganzhou, the oil never came in handy. I kept it in the camp all the time, and I didn't want to burn it all now. When Wo Konoli saw the scene of the fire burning the sky, his face changed at that time. On the side of the cooking camp, Manaturi, who had been constantly retreating by the Xia army's counterattack, was also shocked when the artillery roared.

"Kill!" , Faraday at the moment when the artillery stopped, drew his sword and ordered.

Although the soldiers below were a little tired from the journey, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the scene of the Xia army's camp burned to pieces. They all shouted and rushed to the camp of the Xia army.

"Lord Wang! Come with me! At present, the army's morale is in turmoil, and there is only a dead end to stay. Wo Ke Ye made a decision immediately.
