Chapter 43: Breaking the Barbarian Army
Xiao Wang cut down the pine trees on the mountain, set up four camps in a row, the villages are connected, interlocking, continuous for more than 20 miles, almost occupy the entire valley.
And every time Ruud broke through a camp, almost all of the border troops had just left on the front foot, and he followed with the back foot.
At this time, the fourth camp was full of fire oil, and after Rude rushed in, before he could gain a firm foothold, the border soldiers who had just withdrawn from the camp turned around in unison.
Under Xiao Wang's military order, the soldiers of the border army moved up and down, took the bow and wound it, and fired ten thousand arrows at once.
The rocket nailed in front of Ruud was just a start, and then, like a rain of fire, dense arrows pierced the sky, overwhelming, and swept in!
Smack-smack-smack-
The sound of arrows piercing through hard objects kept coming, Rude exclaimed, and before he could react, he only heard a 'boom', but a wall not far in front of him suddenly caught fire, and then the fire spread quickly in the camp along the traces of the fire oil soaked, like a fire snake!
In just an instant, the entire camp suddenly burst into flames.
The neighing of the horses and the cries of the crowd suddenly filled the entire camp as the fire raged.
Looking at the raging fire around him, Ruud was dumbfounded all of a sudden!
He stared blankly at everything in front of him, and in his eyes, the scenes of the scene were reflected......
A rocket pierced the sky, and just as it was about to hit Rude, a sharp blade suddenly poked out from the slash and picked the arrow away, and at the same time, the eager voice of the veteran Tusi also sounded in Rude's ears:
"Oops! General Ruud! What are you still in a daze! We've got it! Hurry up and lead the army to break through! ”
"Huh!? Right, right! Breakthrough! Gotta break out! Ruud replied in a panic, and the shouts of the veteran Tus pulled him back to reality from his state of distraction.
At this time, he no longer has the arrogance and arrogance he had before, in addition to fear in his eyes, he has lived in the nobility of the Tusi Palace since he was a child, where has he seen such a battle, he has already been frightened to the point that the six gods have no master, what the Tusi veteran says, he is almost responding to something.
Seeing his appearance, the veteran Tusi sighed secretly, and urged: "General Rude, now that the fire has just started, and the fire has not completely spread, immediately lead our cavalry to break through this last camp!" If we delay any longer, we will be wiped out! ”
"Yes, yes! What the old general said is reasonable! Only...... Just do what the old general said! Ruud replied with a trembling voice.
But at this time, it was impossible for him to organize a cavalry breakout.
The terrain in the valley was not suitable for cavalry to attack, and there were many horses in the camp, and the camp built of pine wood had already collapsed after the fire, and the wooden stakes with flames fell from a high place from time to time and smashed down the crowd.
What's more, once the tail of the war horse is on fire, the war horse suffers, and it rushes around like crazy, where is it still manipulated by the knight on the horse!
Before Rude could organize the 10,000 cavalry in the chaotic army, those war horses, in this moment, I don't know how many soldiers had trampled to death! At last, they all went mad and rushed into the raging fire with the knights on their horses......
And those infantry soldiers, the animal skin armor on their bodies at this moment has become a deadly 'soldering iron'! In the absence of any organization, they scurried around like headless flies, some running forward, some running backwards, and some were covered in flames, howling and rolling desperately on the ground!
Disorderly!
The terrible howl of the burning fire, the frightened neighing of the war horses, and the sound of the collapse of the buildings in the camp that were burned down from time to time, these all converged together, how can it be a garbled word!
Seeing that the whole army was about to die under this sea of fire, Rude, who had been stunned and stupid, obviously couldn't count on it, and in the end, under the command of the veteran Tus, he finally gathered the barbarian soldiers who were in a mess together temporarily.
At this point, he didn't have time to count how many men he had lost.
At this time, the barbarians who fled in all directions finally found the backbone, and under the leadership of the veteran, they had the same goal and rushed towards the border city in a swarm.
He didn't choose to retreat in the direction of Wuguan, because he understood that since the other party was willing to deliberately abandon Wuguan and set up such a vicious scheme to lure himself into the bait, then he would definitely not let his side exit unharmed so easily.
Moreover, the current wind direction, the mountain wind in the valley, is blowing in the direction of Wuguan, and the Tusi veteran can know without looking at it, and the other three camps behind him must be on fire at this time!
The fire borrows the wind, and the more it burns, the bigger it gets!
And the four joint ventures that stretch for more than 20 miles are all built of pine wood, more than 20 miles, how huge, this fire is simply out of control!
Because of the direction of the wind, the barbarians were almost rushing forward in the face of the fierce fire, and in such a chaotic situation of people turning on their backs, the barbarians were in a hurry to flee for their lives, and pushing was inevitable, as long as someone stumbled and fell to the ground, or ran half a step slower, it would definitely be either trampled to death, or buried in the fire.
In the process, the entire 50,000 barbarian army, with almost half of the casualties.
When the veteran Tusi led the remaining less than 30,000 barbarian troops and finally broke out of the camp, the subsequent scene made all the barbarians feel even more terrifying!
Beyond the fourth camp is the valley floor, through which you can reach the plains of the plains.
But Xiao Wang tried his best to lead the barbarian army into the hinterland of the valley where he was ambushed, how could he easily let the barbarian army break through!
Here, waiting for them were not only the border soldiers who were waiting for them, but also a ravine that had been dug five or six meters wide and cut across the entire valley.
It's like an impassable chasm that blocks the way of the brutes!
At this time, the soldiers of the wind were holding a jar of fire oil and throwing it into the ditch.
With the sound of crockpots shattering, the oil instantly spread all over the ditch. Looking at the barbarians who were rushing towards this side in the sea of fire, Xiao Wang ordered unhurriedly: "Ignite the fire!" ”
"Boom!"
With his order, one torch after another was thrown into the ditch in an instant, and the fire oil that had already flowed inside was even more on fire, and in just an instant, the entire ditch was turned into a raging wall of fire!
Seeing this, the face of the Tusi veteran turned white! At this time, almost the whole army of his side was in the sea of fire, and if he stayed for a second, he didn't know how many people would die, but there was suddenly an extra fire ditch in front of him, blocking his way, not only that, but outside the fire ditch, there were tens of thousands of wind troops waiting for them to climb across the fire ditch!
I'm afraid that before I can climb up, I will die under the enemy's gun!
