Chapter 278: The Decisive Battle of Xianbei Six
To the south of Danhan Mountain, in the night, a long fire dragon is particularly conspicuous, and its speed of movement is amazing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Report!" A rider quickly came to a general's side, took a breath and then reported: "Lord Qiqi, General Huang has begun to act, and the Xianbei people have not broken through overnight!" ”
This person is none other than Huo Yu, who led the army to retreat south, and at this moment he is leading 5,000 flying feather horses and 5,000 white horses from the starry night, galloping towards Danhan Mountain.
"Probe!" Huo Yu responded lightly.
"No".
Looking at the scouts in the distance, Huo Yu felt a burst of pride in his heart: "He Lian is killing himself, then he can't complain about Benhou." ”
On Danhan Mountain, He Lian and Cheng Lugui Zou looked at the fire under the mountain with a frown, although they decided not to break through, but the fire in front of them was obviously coming towards the mountain.
"Report, big order, loss... It's on fire... There was a fire. A rush of footsteps and a panicked report woke the two of them.
He Lianyan reprimanded angrily: "Fool, how can you not know the fire under the mountain! ”
"No, big single, no... It's not down the mountain, it's on the mountain! The scout said in a panic.
When Cheng Lugui heard this, he immediately hurriedly found the high ground and looked at the mountain, and exclaimed, "Fire, Da Dan is on fire at the top of the mountain!" ”
"What? How so? Don't... It's too bad for the middle plan, and the whole army is ordered to gather and withdraw from the royal court immediately! After waking up, Helian immediately gave the order.
However, it was already too late, if Huang Zhong had just started to set fire to the mountain, maybe there was still a chance, judging from the current fire, it would be easier said than done to rush out, and besides, the Youzhou army under the mountain was not a decoration.
"Look, what's that?" Just as Helian was gathering his personal guards, an exclamation suddenly exploded in his ears.
Looking for prestige, I saw countless bright spots rising from the bottom of the mountain, slowly coming towards the royal court with the breeze. Many Xianbei people looked at the light that kept appearing in front of them in horror, and they were at a loss for a while. In their minds, apart from the fact that birds can fly, what else can fly? Gods?
At this time, the awakened Xianbei soldiers stood on the open ground and shouted, a few soldiers ran around and screamed, and even knelt down to the approaching firelight, and the situation in the entire royal court was extremely chaotic.
As the firelight floating in the air approached, He Lian finally saw what was floating in the air, but he had never seen this thing and Lian himself, in short, this must be a new thing made by the Han army!
In order to control the fear of his soldiers, the archers selected by Helian trembled and raised their bows and arrows towards the nearest floating fire.
"Boom!" Under the dense rain of arrows, it seemed that something had been shot and fell.
There is a first, there is a second, and nothing happens at the beginning. So all the Xianbei people took their bows and arrows and began to shoot at the floating fire in the sky, and the brave Xianbei people ran excitedly towards the target they were shot.
Huang Zhong under the mountain watched the movements of the Xianbei people by the light of the fire and stroked his beard, and the performance of these Xianbei people was exactly as the lord expected.
"How's the catapult ready?" Huang Zhong suddenly asked.
"Father... General Huang, the Shenji Battalion has already been prepared! Huang Xu on the side immediately replied.
In this battle, in order to test some new siege methods, Huo Yu brought all the Shenji battalion under the command of Huang Xu, as well as the "Youzhou Lantern" that had just been developed not long ago.
Speaking of this Youzhou lamp, it is actually the Kong Ming lantern of later generations, but it is relatively large, and there is a small clay pot below, which is full of black oil.
After a breakthrough in papermaking technology, Huo Yu asked the people of the Mo family to make a batch according to the drawings he provided, and the Xianbei people actually became the first batch of experiments.
At present, the Xianbei people are lucky, at least all the Youzhou lights that have fallen have been extinguished, but just when He Lian frowned and listened to the report of his subordinates, an exclamation suddenly spread.
"Boom!" I saw a Xianbei soldier shoot a clay pot hanging under the lamp in the dark night, and the black oil suddenly splashed in the air, and it happened to be ignited by the flame of the Youzhou lamp, so there was a scene of heavenly fire.
As the sky fire fell to the ground, the black oil that had been scattered on the ground was instantly ignited, and the raging fire suddenly started.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you go and put out the fire!" He Lian reprimanded angrily, by this time, the fool knew what the Youzhou Army wanted to do.
"Command!" Cheng Lugui nodded and hurriedly put out the fire with his manpower.
At the foot of the mountain, seeing the scene of the heavenly fire descending, the entire Youzhou wolf rider let out bursts of cheers, although this thing is also the first time they have seen it, but it is the Xianbei people who suffer.
"It's time to add to the fire!" Huang Zhong looked at Huang Xu and ordered.
Looking at Huang Xu's vigorous pace, Huang Zhong finally showed a rare smile.
"General Huang's tiger father has no dogs!" Tai Shi Ci on the side said with a smile.
"Ziyi, all this is thanks to the lord!" Huang Zhong suddenly sighed, if it weren't for Huo Yu, it would be difficult for Huang Xu's life to be saved, not to mention that the current Huang Xu actually led the most mysterious army in the entire Youzhou.
There was a fire in the royal court, and Helian didn't care about it now, after all, the royal court was so big, even if there were a few fires, it would be extinguished soon. What Helian is most worried about now is what tricks the Han army under the mountain will play.
Turning around and looking into the royal court, he saw that Cheng Lugui and his soldiers were fighting the fire with all their might, but it was obvious that these fire-causing things were difficult to extinguish.
On Danhan Mountain, Liao Hua also didn't take the fire in the royal court to heart, because more fire-causing things were under the control of the Tianyu Guard led by him, and now he was only waiting for the action of the Shenji Battalion under the mountain.
"Da Danyu, the fire can't be extinguished." Cheng Lugui came to report breathlessly.
"Oh?" He Lian was stunned when he heard this!
Although the fire did not expand, it was extremely difficult to extinguish "How could this be, what exactly did the Han people use?" ”
Just when Helian and Cheng Lugui were discussing what method to take to extinguish the fire, they heard a huge whistling sound flying overhead, and then "Boom! With a bang, flames splashed everywhere, and a few unlucky people became burning people by the way.
"Shoot the whole battalion, shoot it all!" Looking at his own masterpiece in the royal court, Huang Xu issued an order to the ten catapults belonging to the Shenji Battalion.
"Big Order?" With the huge fireballs that kept flying up the mountain, Cheng Lugui was completely panicked.
"What is this?" The things that appeared one after another in front of him had made Kazuen not know how to explain them, and it was obvious that these things were beyond the scope of his cognition.
One by one, the fireballs flew into the royal court, and the fire began to spread in all directions, but this and it did not end. The Heavenly Feather Guards on the top of the mountain began to ignite the fire-starting object that had been buried long ago, and a fiery snake hurried down the mountaintop!
"General Huang, take a look?" Seeing Tai Shi Ci's fingers, the fire snake coming down from the top of the mountain said loudly.
"Once Tianyuwei ignites the black oil buried in various places under the royal court in advance, I am afraid that there will be no living creatures in the entire Danhan Mountain!" Regarding Huo Yu's plan to burn Danhan Mountain, the generals of Youzhou were clear.
For this plan, Huo Yu has made an old foundation, almost all the black oil accumulated in Liaodong over the years has been used, Danhan Mountain is about to become the tomb of the Xianbei people, I believe that after this battle, no one will dare to come here.
"General Huang, what if the Xianbei people are desperate to break through?" Tai Shi Ci immediately asked when he heard this.
"If the Xianbei people were desperate to break through earlier, they might be able to run away some, but after suffering a few losses, Helian will never break through in the dark night!"
"It's... Could it be that the two military advisors have already calculated everything? Tai Shi Ci asked suspiciously.
"Ziyi, don't forget the lord's method of attacking the heart, our army and the mountain are set on fire everywhere, and then use archers to guard the way down the mountain, not to mention the crossbow of the Shenji Battalion!" Huang Zhong said slowly.
After a pause, Huang Zhong spoke again: "As long as you block the first few breakthroughs, and let the Xianbei people realize that going down the mountain is a way to kill themselves, Helian will not be in danger, only stay in the royal court and wait for the sky to dawn!" It is precisely because of the existence of the city walls and gates in the royal court that Helian will lose the last chance to escape in hesitation, and after the fire is completely uncontrollable, the entire city, along with the people in the city, will be reduced to ashes. “
After listening to Huang Zhong's analysis, Tai Shi Ci gasped, this fire will turn Xianbei's 70,000 army into ashes, the lord is really ruthless, but when he thinks of the lord's attitude towards foreign races, Tai Shi Ci is relieved!
In addition to the eternal eradication of future troubles, this law is also a reminder to other Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Sanhan, and even the countries of the Western Regions that have not yet been completely annexed. In the face of the Youzhou army, either surrender or perish!
In the court of the King of Danhan Mountain, Cheng Lugui ran to Helian's side again in a panic and said, "Da Danyu, it's not good!" ”
"What happened?" And Lian said unhappily.
"The fire in the city is out of control, it can't be extinguished, it can't be extinguished, the Han army has long been set up everywhere, and now the entire royal court has... Already..... Speaking of this, Cheng Lugui didn't dare to continue.
"Can't even be watered?" Kazuen was completely dumbfounded.
Finally, at this time of crisis, Helian made a move that made everyone excited. "Order, the whole army immediately break through and descend the mountain!"
With the general order of Helian, the Xianbei people rushed towards the way down the mountain in front of Danhan Mountain like a tide. When Cheng Lu was about to lead his troops to attack, he was stopped by Helian, and even the leader did not participate in it. At this time, Helian already had a plan in his heart.
"Big Order?" Cheng Lugui asked in surprise.
"On the way down the mountain, I'm afraid that the Han army has already set up an ambush, so I immediately gathered my guards to escape from the path with me!" And the company commander sighed.
In this battle, he knew that he had unconsciously lost the best time to break through, but what He Lian didn't know was that Liao Hua had been waiting for him on another road for a long time.
"Kill!" As the gate of the royal court opened, the Xianbei people quickly rushed out, and the desire to survive at this moment was greater than everything, but what awaited them was countless arrows shot from the night.
"Shoot the arrows!" As Zhang He's voice came, the archers who had already been ambushed began to shoot wantonly, and such a dense crowd could shoot at the target even with their eyes closed.
After paying heavy casualties, a part of the Xianbei cavalry finally rushed through the rain of arrows, and they shouted excitedly, already seeing the hope of life.
"Repeater shooting!" In the darkness, the voice of the Han army was heard again, followed by a tight "whoosh" sound.
In the night, He Lian, Cheng Lugui, and Kui Tou led the guards to cautiously walk towards the path behind the mountain.
"Ahh A scream came from the front, followed by a burst of fire in the sky, and in an instant, the fire raged, if it wasn't for Cheng Lugui's quick reaction, He Lian was afraid that he would have been burned to death in this fire.
"Humph! Run faster than a rabbit! Liao Hua looked at He Lian, who was protected by Cheng Lu and fled in a hurry, and snorted coldly and ignored it, but completely ignited the ignition on the trail.
Lost some of the soldiers and horses, and the company, Cheng Lugui, and the head of the three finally picked up a life, this time and the company finally saw with his own eyes that the thing that ignited the fire was ignited from the ground, and dozens of his own guards were burned to death in front of their eyes.
"Report! Da Danyu, Qianshan was sealed by the Han army, and he couldn't rush out at all! And not long before the three of them returned to the king's tent, a scout came to report it.
He Lian frowned, and said helplessly: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it after dawn!" ”
This general order is also a helpless move, but the living space of the Xianbei people is being compressed a little bit. The fire was completely out of control, and in such a high temperature environment, He Lian led the remnants of the Xianbei people to move the place, and the taste of being roasted by the fire made everyone unbearable.
At the foot of Danhan Mountain, Huang Xu's commander trebuchet was still throwing fireballs towards the place where there was no fire, and the entire Danhan Mountain was now in a sea of fire, and Liao Hua had already led Tianyuwei from the path to the bottom of the mountain, where Tai Shi Ci had been waiting for a long time.
"Yuan Jian, there are casualties!" Looking at the Tianyu Guards who were blackened with smoked faces, Tai Shici asked while asking people to prepare clear water.
Gooo After pouring a few mouthfuls of water, Liao Hua said with a smile: "General Zhang, rest assured, this task can't help Tianyuwei, it's just that being roasted by the fire makes people uncomfortable, if it weren't for the lord ordering me to travel lightly, I'm afraid this casualty is inevitable!" ”
Hearing Liao Hua's words, Tai Shi Ci was speechless, his lord had already taken all the details into account, and it seemed that he still had a lot to learn.
"Yuan Jian, the lord is almost here, I am here to guard!" Tai Shici took the water bag handed over by Liao Hua and said with a smile.
After Tian Yuwei replenished his water, Liao Hua was not hypocritical and left with Tian Yuwei! Now that the task of Tian Yuwei has been completed, the rest of the things will naturally be completed by other robes!
"Fire, what a wonderful view!" Not far from Danhan Mountain, Huo Yu looked at the raging fire and muttered.
"Senior brother, will anyone still be alive?" Zhao Yun on the side suddenly asked.
"Perhaps! Zilong, you must not be merciful on the battlefield! After finishing speaking, Huo Yu continued to gallop towards Danhan Mountain!
