Chapter 36 Phosphorus Fire that makes people reluctant to say more

On the battlefield, you should devote yourself to the grand cause of killing people, until you have killed all the enemies and made sure that no one else wants to kill you, and then you can relax and catch your breath. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wei Chilei was obviously not a good general at this time, and Zhao Hao stopped paying attention to family affairs from the moment he received the military order during the Warring States Period.

It was not only Wei Chilei who saw the smoke and dust, but soon the rest of the soldiers also saw it, which caused a small commotion among the Hami army.

Wei Chilei immediately ordered the craftsmen of the general camp on the other side of the river to quickly pull up the pontoon bridge that had sunk to the bottom of the river, and the 100 general craftsmen who were not good at fighting could not resist the enemy.

In the Hami army, the craftsmen are always the most valuable group of people, and there can be no mistakes.

The 2,000 Hami soldiers were holding a narrow area two miles long and one mile wide, and without heavy fortifications and strong thermal weapons, there was no way to confront the enemy until now.

The craftsmen of the general camp on the other side of the river have also discovered the enemy, and the soldiers responsible for protecting the craftsmen have erected small ballistas, which can be carried away on horseback, and there are many in the Hami army, and hundreds of them were quickly erected along the riverbank. This time, the leather pocket of the ballista was no longer filled with stones, nor gunpowder shells, but the most powerful light oil in the Hami army.

This was originally intended to be used by Yu Chi Lei to trap the Khotanese army, and once the Khotanese army crossed the third trench, he would have the craftsmen of the general camp across the river fire this terrifying weapon with ballistas.

Now, completely surrounded by people, the secret can't be kept.

The winch fixed to the thick poplar tree slowly rotated under the drag of the war horse, and three narrow pontoon bridges made of iron and wood from the Tianshan Mountains slowly floated up from under the water and crossed the end of the river.

The two arm-thick iron chains jumped straight, and the craftsmen of the camp quickly laid the planks that had been prepared on the bridge deck, and in just one pillar of incense, the three pontoon bridges had been erected.

Rahman was the first to step onto the pontoon bridge, and five hundred Hami soldiers quickly followed, marching along the three pontoon bridges to the opposite bank.

Yu Chi Lei took a long breath, held the long knife and came to the front of the first trench, without saying a word, but he was ready to fight to the death.

Rahman crossed the river and learned from the scouts who had just returned that some Khotanese people had come and wanted to kill some of the Hami and exchange their heads for gold.

There are not many people, and there are not many of them, a robbery gang of 1,000 people, they are ordinary people on weekdays, and they are horse thieves after encountering fat sheep.

Rahman's heart finally settled down, as long as it wasn't for the army specially sent by Yusupu, a rabble, there was nothing to worry about.

When the news came back to Wei Chilei, he was not as optimistic as Rahman had thought.

The biggest characteristic of the rabble is uncertainty, their numbers may increase dramatically in a short period of time, and the first moment these people are still fleeing in confusion, and when their numbers accumulate to a number that makes them feel strong, they will return to fight again, even more ferocious than before.

In the face of such an enemy, they can only be quickly eliminated, and they cannot be given any chance to gather, as long as they are dispersed, these people will flee in all directions, and there is no possibility of gathering again.

The horses needed for five hundred cavalry also stepped onto the pontoon bridge, and it took more time to transport the horses than the warriors.

Yusupu also discovered the situation on the other side of the river, and even found three pontoon bridges across the Jimo River.

If he didn't know how to attack at this time, he wouldn't be a qualified governor.

This time, he chose to press the whole army, intending to completely kill these Hami people before it gets dark, and if they have time to escape the end of the river, he will start chasing these pesky flies for thousands of miles.

Six thousand cavalry pounced on them from three directions, and the mountain shook and shook with terrifying momentum......

"Crossbow ready, three salvos!"

"Crossbow ready, flat fire!"

"Gunpowder Bomb Preparation ......"

The crossbow arrows flew into the sky again, and before the dark clouds of crossbow arrows fell, the second wave of crossbow arrows was once again activated, and when the third wave of arrows flew into the sky, the first wave of arrows was already enveloped in the Khotanese cavalry.

Some of the bolts were blocked by the cavalry, some got into the flesh of the enemy, and many more fell to the ground.

This time, there were many Khotanese cavalry participating in the attack, but more than 200 camels were running in the front.

Dromedary.

On the soft sand, they were no less fast than their horses, and their tall bodies formed a high wall, which became the best shield for the attacking cavalry.

"Ignition!"

Wei Chilei, who was standing behind the tower shield, shouted, and threw the gunpowder bullet in his hand into the trench.

With a bang, a wall of fire erupted from the trench again, and the rising flames scorched Hami's soldiers had to retreat a hundred paces back.

The camels are good at running, but not good at jumping, and the wall of fire rises abruptly, and they plunge into the ditch, and with little effort, the burning wall of fire is extinguished by these camels with their bodies, and a gap ten zhang long.

Wei Chi Lei shouted, and with one arm carrying a tower shield, he was stuck at the front of the gap, and a hundred steps away, the hideous faces of the Khotanese cavalry were already clearly recognizable.

Crossbow arrows are like locusts, life is like grass, no matter how you shout and how you dodge, you will inevitably fall to the ground in the end.

The spear stabbed out from behind the tower shield and then retracted, each stretch blooming with a blood flower.

The horse's hooves trampled on the tower shield with a thunderous roar, and the pillars behind the tower shield sank deep into the earth, and even Yu Chi Lei had to throw the gunpowder bomb out with his back against the tower shield.

There were too many enemies, and in just one pillar of incense, the corpses of the Khotanese people were piled up as high as the tower shield.

A dozen Khotanese riders stepped on the corpses and leaped over the wall of tower shields and entered the first trench.

Listening to the sound of the tower shield shattering, and seeing the Khotanese cavalry using scimitars to harvest the lives of the Hami soldiers, Yu Chilei frantically waved the flag in his hand, if the ballista was not fired, the Khotanese people would come in.

Countless black canisters flew over Yu Chilei's head, and they suddenly exploded in mid-air, and a blue fire net slowly fell from the sky.

A sporadic flame was sent into the first trench by the wind and landed on Wei Chilei's shoulder, and without the slightest hesitation, he landed on the ground with a pestle, and his own soldiers immediately buried his shoulder with a large amount of sand.

It took a moment for Yu Chilei to lift his body from the sand and look warily at the gray stain on his shoulder.

The tower shield is no longer under attack, and the outside is already as terrifying as hell.

Those seemingly gentle flames, like maggots attached to the bones, do not burn until they are exhausted.

Yu Chilei spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he was accidentally hit with a chain hammer just now, although he was only wiped once, and almost killed him.

"Retreat, go to the second trench."

Yu Chilei didn't want to stay here anymore, and the screams behind the tower shield made him feel like he was in hell.

No one attacked again, and it was easy for Wei Chilei to retreat, and when they looked at the Khotanese behind the second trench, everyone gasped.

The place where the Khotanese people were on the opposite side had become a pot of boiling porridge, everyone was shouting, many people were rolling on the ground, and almost all the war horses were kicking and biting wildly.

The few who were not burned by the flames stood motionless like puppets in the scattered sparks.

"Just added phosphorus fire ...... to light oil"

A craftsman who had crossed the river to investigate the situation of the battle whispered in Yu Chilei's ear.

"The phosphorus fire is very light, it will flutter with the wind, these people are very lucky not to be burned by the phosphorus fire just now, if they move around at that time, their bodies can carry the wind, and the phosphorus fire will naturally touch them.

No problem now......"

Yu Supu closed his eyes in pain, and the black balls that flew from the other side of the river just now made the victory that he was close to him come to naught.

The gunpowder bullet had already terrified him, and the reason why he would press the whole army this time was because he was afraid that if the war continued, the confidence of the Khotanese in victory would collapse.

I didn't expect that after doing this, the end would be even more miserable.

The Khotanese people were not afraid of crossbow arrows, steel knives, spears, and the cruel damage brought by unknown things.

The horn sounded, but it could not recall the Khotanese people who stood on the frozen battlefield, there were not many Khotanese who died in the fire net, but there were countless Khotanese who wailed and rolled on the battlefield.

"General, do you want to go up and kill all these people now?" A team was coming to Yu Chilei's side to ask for help.

"No need, Yu Supu will give these wounded soldiers more headaches when they go back, let's cross the river, this battle is over."

After Yu Chilei gave the order, he came back to the back of the tower shield and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

Ah Da has not come yet, and Yu Supu's infantry has not come, there is only one possibility, Ah Da has gone to attack Yu Supu's infantry.

With a team of more than 2,000 people, there are now no more than 1,000 people who can stand up and fight, and in a short period of time, the army has suffered nearly half of its casualties. No matter how strong an army is, it is impossible to continue to maintain combat effectiveness.

Yu Supu did not wait for the infantry, and he did not feel good, so after he hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, he retreated to the east.

The Hami here, supported by ballistae on the other side of the river, had no chance of being defeated in a short time, and he was already worried about his infantry.

Even when he saw Hami crossing the river, he did not chase after him.

There are too many wounded soldiers......

Burns are one of the most difficult injuries to deal with, and in the Western Regions, there is no treatment other than a large amount of badger oil.

General badger oil for burns is naturally a good medicine, but unfortunately, most of these wounded soldiers were burned by phosphorus fire, and the wounds were very deep......

The rabble on the other side of the river was routed by Rahman, who did not even use gunpowder shells, but only used crossbow arrows and his own big bow to drive the Khotanese out ten miles away.

When I returned, the last rays of sunlight on the horizon were gone.

Two tired generals waited to eat with their backs against poplar trees.

"Actually, I don't like the military at all."

"You know, you like to draw."

"Wei Chi's family likes to paint, of course, except for Xiaowen, he hates painting, and thinks that the reason why Wei Chi's family will fall is because painting makes us sentimental and not decisive at all."

"Hehe, you don't have to be serious about children."

"He's not a child, he's a student of the king......" (To be continued.) )
