Chapter 353: Fighting Jiameng Pass Again (3)
Under Jia Meng, the archers of the Shu army opened their bows and waited, and when they were about to show a wave of arrow rain, they heard the sound of "sigh, sigh" in mid-air. In their minds, it was probably the sound of a stone projectile from their trebuchet flying over their heads, right?
With a tower shield in the way, the archers of the Shu army did not see a few black shadows flying in, but Yang Huai did.
"Wait until now to use trebuchets?"
"If there are twenty or thirty trebuchets, will I still be worried, only five trebuchets, hehe!"
To be honest, Yang Huai was startled when he saw these black shadows flying from Jiameng Pass. Under the protection of the tower shield, the phalanx of archers under his command was not afraid of the rain of arrows of the Han army, but in the face of the stone projectiles fired by the trebuchet, it was basically the end of the shield shattering and the death of the people.
Of course, the premise is that the Hanzhong army on the opposite side must have enough trebuchets to make it!
Looking at the few black shadows that flew over quickly, Yang Huai's heart instantly let go.
How many casualties can five stone bullets inflict on his archer phalanx?!
It's just that reality quickly gave Yang Huai a slap in the face!
Before the archers of the Shu army could send out a rain of arrows, the five black shadows that flew in scattered smashed over.
The black shadow smashed on the tower shield, shattering in an instant, and the liquid inside splashed everywhere; Some splashed directly on the archers, while others splashed on the tower shield, and then some reflected back, splashing the archers and shield soldiers hiding behind the tower shield.
Of course, it can't be that everyone is splashed all over the body, some people have more on them, and some people have less. However, at this moment, the Shu army's phalanx of archers, two thousand archers and two thousand shield soldiers, were almost splashed by these liquids
"What's this trick?" Many archers wondered.
Supposedly, isn't it normal for a trebuchet not to throw a stone projectile?
Now, the Hanzhong army on the opposite side has thrown over five jars of "water", what kind of trouble are they preparing for?
A shield soldier touched the water splashed on his body, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then his face changed dramatically in an instant.
"It's kerose!" Several shieldmen screamed.
This Shu army is also battle-hardened, how can it not smell the smell of fire oil?
It's a pity that this exclamation reminds that it is late spring.
Dozens of rockets were then fired into this phalanx.
The fire, like a plague, quickly swept through the hundreds of paces.
The tower shields were ignited, and although they were made of iron, because of the splattering of fire oil on the tower shields, for a moment and a half, these tower shields were also burning like a gang. It's the same thing if you pour a lot of oil into a pond and then the pond can be ignited.
Longbows and feathered arrows were set on fire. Some people lost the bow and arrows in their hands, but some people shot the arrows in their hands, but in the chaos, the accuracy of these barely shot arrows was not satisfactory.
Archers and shield soldiers, most of them were also set on fire.
Even if many people were not contaminated with the flames at the first time, they were quickly set on fire.
The one that splattered more oil on his body soon became a whole human-shaped torch; If there is less fire oil on the body, it will only be splashed with fire oil and will not be ignited, and then because of the clothes, the fire will spread to the whole body.
There were only a few dozens of people, and there was no sputtering of fire oil on their bodies, and there was no fire for a while. However, with flames all around, it is difficult to say how many lucky people who have not been burned by the fire for the time being.
Screaming, rolling on the ground, fleeing backwards or in all directions......
This phalanx of archers of the Shu army has been in chaos at this time, and it has become a millet in the fire!
……
Yang Huai was not in the archer phalanx, as a general, he was in command on the side, although his body was also splashed with a little oil, but because he was a few steps away from the archer phalanx, he was not set on fire.
Moreover, when he saw that the situation was wrong, Yang Huai also retreated dozens of steps in time.
Later, in front of the Shu army's main formation, under the awning, Zhang Ren was dumbfounded.
Okay, after the archer phalanx is pressed, a few waves of arrows can suppress the enemy army on the opposite side?
Now, not to mention suppressing the enemy forces on the opposite side, his archer army is about to be burned to ashes.
Moreover, he also mounted 2,000 heavy shield soldiers!
Without archers to suppress the opponent, how can the next cloud ladder troops continue to climb?
Behind, the Shu army array, which was preparing to attack the city, gradually became agitated. Seeing their own archer troops burned by the opponent's easy fire, how could the soldiers not be in a commotion?
At this time, even if you want to put out the fire, it is too late.
At this time, Yang Huai returned in embarrassment.
"General, the last general is incompetent, please punish the general!" Yang Huai knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty.
In fact, Yang Huai was heartbroken at this time. You must know that these two thousand archers are his headquarters, his descendants, and his Yang Huai's capital in the army, but now, his descendant is buried in a fire in an instant.
"This is not a crime of war, but an unexpected trick of the enemy, and General Yang does not have to mind." Gao Pei, who hurried over, comforted. Then, Gao Pei asked Zhang Ren, who was still "dumbfounded": "General, the soldiers are in a little commotion, what should we do next?" Please show the soldiers! ”
Zhang Ren, who came back to his senses, looked at the fire in front of him, and then looked at the soldiers who were in turmoil behind him, so he had no choice but to order: "Today's defeat is no longer able to fight, Mingjin retreats, let's fight again in the future!" ”
Zhang Ren was almost stunned.
Last year in Jiameng Pass, he Zhang Ren was rubbed by Wei Yan, and after a few tricks, less than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command were left. The night before yesterday, he was attacked by Wei Yan at night, causing nearly half of his Zhang Ren's vanguard army to suffer casualties.
Now, when he was hesitant, it was Wei Yan's fire again, which burned down his Zhang Ren archery troops, and made their Shu army's determined attack on the key to have to be temporarily stopped.
Is Wei Yan too powerful, or is he Zhang Ren too incompetent?
If today's events are transmitted back to Shuzhong, in front of the lord and colleagues, it always seems that he Zhang Ren is too incompetent!
……
Jia Meng closed it, and after seeing the archer phalanx of the Shu army being ignited, Wei Yan was a lot more relieved.
Although it is said that this fire only burned more than 4,000 people in the Shu Military Region, and killed the most threatening archer troops, in fact, for the Shu army under the pass, it did not reach the point of breaking the muscles and bones, and it did not even affect the Shu army to continue to tackle key problems!
Without the suppression of archers, when the Shu army attacked, it was nothing more than more battle damage.
Because, the Hanzhong army they guarded was only 5,000 people after all.
The number of people is too small to withstand the consumption of fighting!
Now, this fire not only burned the archers of the Shu army, but also burned their spirit.
In short, the Shu army will definitely not continue to attack today.
As for whether the Shu army will continue to attack tomorrow?
This is not something that he Wei Yan has to consider!
By tomorrow, the task that he Wei Yan insisted on would be completed, and at that time, when the Shu army attacked Jiameng Pass, their Hanzhong army would be defeated and retreated as planned as long as they pretended to resist for a while.
However, it seems that these few times have made Zhang Ren very angry, but I am afraid that when he is defeated tomorrow, Zhang Ren will bite and hold on. Do you want to give Zhang Ren another time on the way to retreat? ”
Watching the Shu army Mingjin withdraw his troops, Wei Yan thought so. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
