Chapter 843: Want to Take the Mountain? No way!
Rocket!
Under the top of Dingjun Mountain, there are rockets falling from the sky?
How is this possible?
Just when Guan Yu was stunned, more than 400 rockets roared and crashed into the camp like heavenly fire.
In an instant, more than a dozen tents were set ablaze by rockets, and the flames raged.
"Look, the camp is on fire!"
"What's going on, how can a good battalion catch fire?"
"Someone dropped a rocket from the top of the mountain!"
"Impossible, how can there be a Wei army on the top of the mountain?"
The Han soldiers on the front line of the camp wall were immediately frustrated by the rockets falling from the sky behind them, and their panicked screams were loud for a while.
At this moment, a second round of arrow rain followed, and more than a dozen tents were shot and set on fire.
In addition to the tents, there were several piles of horse stock, firewood and grass were ignited, and the fire was raging, lighting up the night sky in the blink of an eye.
Guan Yu, who looked surprised, looked up at the top of the mountain, and through the roaring firelight, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a figure on the top of the mountain that was shaking.
This proves that the Wei army has sneaked to the top of the mountain and is condescendingly firing rockets on them.
"How is that possible? The remaining three sides of Dingjun Mountain are cliffs, how could Wei Gou climb up? ”
The unbelievable Guan Yu let out a roar and scream.
Whoosh!
Another round of rockets arrived, and one of the rockets landed in front of Guan Yu's feet, and even almost hit him.
Guan Yu subconsciously took a step back, shivered behind his back, and shouted anxiously: "Guan Xing listens to the order!" ”
Guan Xing rushed over and shouted, "Father, there is a Wei dog on the top of the mountain, what should I do?" What to do? ”
Guan Yudao pointed to the top of the mountain and said sharply: "This general ordered you to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to attack the top of the mountain for me immediately, and kill all those sneaky Wei dogs, immediately!" ”
"No!" Guan Xing was ordered, and he turned his head to leave.
Guan Yu grabbed him, pulled him to him, stared at his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't capture the top of the mountain, we will lose under the enemy's front and rear attacks, once the Dingjun Mountain is lost, Yangping Pass will not be protected, Yangping Pass will not be protected, and Hanzhong will also fall, our Guan clan will no longer be able to raise their heads in front of His Majesty, do you know what your father is talking about!" ”
Guan Xing's face was shocked, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, father, even if you fight for this life, you will definitely take back the top of the mountain!" ”
"It's worthy of being my Guan Yu's son, go ahead!" Guan Yu patted Guan Xing's head.
Guan Xing rode his horse and galloped away, summoned 2,000 soldiers, braved the rockets that kept falling in the sky, and attacked towards the top of the mountain.
Guan Yu turned his head, continued to face the Wei army outside the camp, gritted his teeth and said: "Su thief, I don't care what means you use to sneak up to my mountaintop, this time, I, Guan Yu, will definitely not let you succeed again!" ”
Outside the camp.
Wei Yan had already seen the rockets falling from the top of Dingjun Mountain, and he had also seen the fire inside the enemy camp, and the enemy army began to be chaotic to a certain extent.
"Shi Zai has succeeded, Your Majesty really expected the truth......"
Wei Yan raised a fierce smile on his face and shouted: "Brothers, our people have copied the rear of the enemy army, and victory is just around the corner, cheer me up and attack to the death!" ”
The soldiers of the Wei army, who were fighting hard, were inspired by this, and all of them were burning with blood, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and frantically rushed towards the wall of the enemy camp.
For a while, the Wei army, which was already at the end of the crossbow, suddenly burst out with amazing attack power.
In the Han camp, Guan Xing had already brought more than 2,000 soldiers and horses through the large camp that caught fire.
He left more than 500 people to fight the fire, and the remaining 2,000 people followed him all the way to the top of the mountain.
The slope of the west slope of Dingjun Mountain is not too large, and the Han army climbed all the way, and it didn't take long to climb to a distance of less than 30 steps near the top of the mountain.
It was only at this distance that the rocks in front of me suddenly increased, and the terrain began to narrow, and in order to reach the top of the mountain, it was necessary to pass through a narrow gap less than ten paces wide.
According to Su Zhe's instructions, Deng Ai had already seized this area, cut down trees to make simple antlers, and blocked the way.
At the same time, Deng Ai divided about 50 crossbowmen and concentrated them at this narrow mouth to release arrows, and the Han army could not raise its head and could not climb up quickly.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking the air came and went, and sharp arrows slashed past Guan Xing's side, constantly shooting the soldiers who couldn't dodge to the ground.
The Han army was so oppressed that they did not dare to raise their heads, so they could only lie on the ground, crawling slowly upward.
Guan Xing glanced back at the mountainside camp, only to see that the Wei army's rockets were still shooting down, and it was too late to extinguish it in time, if he couldn't take the top of the mountain, the fire of the entire camp would reach an uncontrollable level.
At that time, once the main army collapsed and the Wei army broke through the defensive line, even if he took the top of the mountain, it would be useless.
Guan Xing was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hurry up and get the shield!" ”
The order was laid, and a moment later, seven or eight shields were passed from below.
Guan Xing picked up a big shield, held it high in front of him, and shouted: "The big shield is in front, let me continue to climb up!" ”
Seven or eight soldiers hurriedly raised their shields and crowded around Guan Xing, forming an impermeable shield wall that blocked the front.
With the shield wall covering, the Han soldiers behind dared to stand up, and the two thousand people approached the narrow mouth again like long snakes.
On the top of the mountain, Deng Ai saw the change in the formation of the Han army clearly, and he was not half afraid, and a trace of sarcastic sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.
"Bring the oil drums!" Deng Ai shouted.
The soldiers behind him hurriedly carried up the seven or eight barrels of fire oil that had been prepared long ago and set them up on a pair of improvised slides that had been built in advance.
Deng Ai's long sword was raised, and his eyes were fixed on the Han army below, watching the enemy approach little by little.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy was within ten paces.
The long sword in Deng Ai's hand fell without hesitation, cutting off the tip of the slide.
Losing its restraints, barrels of fire oil slid out along the slipway, rolled down the hilltop in the direction of the narrow mouth restraint, and crashed into the enemy's shield wall.
Guan Xing and his soldiers, who only cared about holding the big shield high, were tantamount to moving forward in the dark with their eyes closed, and they were not aware of the abnormality of the Wei army at all.
The barrels of oil rolled all the way down the mountain, and were punctured by sharp stones on the ground along the way, and the boiling oil leaked all the way.
Bang bang bang!
The oil barrels hit the shield wall one after another, and under a series of impacts, the shield bearers were knocked to the ground, and the oil barrels rolled directly into the long snake formation of the Han army, knocking the Han army to the ground in pieces.
Even Guan Xing was knocked to the ground and almost gnawed a dog eating.
He hurriedly held his shield high with one hand and the ground with the other, trying to get back on his feet.
It's just that as soon as the hand touches the ground, there is a sticky feeling, as if he has caught some liquid.
Guan Xing subconsciously raised his hand to see that a strong choking smell came to his face, and he frowned.
"This thing, it smells like ......"
Kerosene!
In Guan Xing's mind, two words burst out in an instant, and he looked back in a hurry, only to see that the hillside where the barrels were rolling was sprinkled with the same liquid everywhere, and the clothes and armor of many soldiers were splashed.
"Could it be that Wei Gou wants-"
Guan Xing woke up suddenly, realizing what Wei Jun wanted to do, his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted anxiously: "Disperse quickly!" ”
Late.
At the top of the mountain, Deng Ai had already set up a rocket and aimed at one of the oil barrels.
With a sound of strings, the rocket burst out of the air, crossed a distance of ten paces, and hit the oil barrel.
