Chapter 481: Death Roars
Xue Zhengfang basically concluded at this time that Yang Yi was no longer able to return to the sky, and after repeated confirmation by the scouts, there was absolutely no large-scale Shu army within a radius of 100 miles, even if Yang Yi still had one or two thousand people left in the camp, he could no longer control the overall situation.
The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and when the Shu army retreated to the dry stream, the Wenzhou army behind it was only a few hundred paces away, and from time to time there were attacks falling into the army formation from the rear.
I don't know if the Shu army couldn't run anymore or thought it couldn't run, so after crossing the dry stream, they stopped on the other bank.
After a while, Xue Zhengfang led the army to the other side of the dry river, and looked at the horse.
Xue Zhengfang looked around cautiously, behind the Shu army on the other side was their camp, and there was no other cover around except for a small forest in the southeast corner.
The adjutant general next to him reminded: "General, the birds and birds in that grove are frightened, and there is a fear of an ambush." ”
Xue Zhengfang said with a smile: "That forest is only a few miles wide, it would be good to be able to hide more than a thousand people, besides, that place is seven or eight hundred steps away from us, even if his Yang Yi's trebuchet is powerful, I don't believe he can hit us." ”
When the generals heard this, they all said that Yang Yi had exhausted his donkey skills, and the defeat was decided.
Xue Zhengfang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Nine nerds! Why didn't you run away? Do you think this creek and a few hundred ambushes in your woods will save your life? The world says that you are a fool of nine nerds, and you are just a man of wisdom when you see it today! ”
But after waiting for a while, the Shu army that was waiting for the opposite side did not see the figure of the nine nerds.
"General? Will Yang Yi abandon his army and run away? The adjutant general said urgently.
Xue Zhengfang's heart froze, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and said coldly: "Attack!! ”
The Wenzhou army, which had already been ready to attack, immediately moved, and the archers and arrows rained down, and the covering foot soldiers began to slowly cross the dry stream.
Xue Zhengfang was worried that Yang Yi would abandon the army and run away alone, although the annihilation of more than 10,000 Shu troops was not a small contribution, but compared with capturing Yang Yi alive, it was simply a world of difference.
However, Yang Yi, who Xue Zhengfang never forgot, did not run away, but led Hou Jian'er and others to a small hill Baozhi Mountain.
In Yang Yi's words: The terrain here is high, which is very suitable for watching this grand performance.
There is still a person standing next to Yang Yi, that is Zhou Gongyi, he will not lead the troops, and after arranging everything, he will wait for Yang Yi here, and appreciate his achievements over the years with him.
Seeing that the Wenzhou army began to attack, Zhou Gongyi was a little nervous and said, "Your Highness..."
At this time, Yang Yi was sitting on a big stone covered with moss, and after running for a long time, he had a lot of physical exertion, so he asked Monkey Jian'er to take out some pastries and taste them with interest.
Seeing Zhou Gongyi's nervous appearance, Yang Yi teased: "How is it?" Is there a feeling that your daughter-in-law is giving birth in the house and you are waiting outside. ”
Zhou Gongyi didn't have the mood to laugh, his eyes stared straight at the battlefield and said: "Six years, my daughter-in-law is only ten months pregnant, but this gunpowder bomb is our six years of hard work..."
Yang Yi took a bite of the osmanthus cake in his hand, felt that it tasted good, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since the wood has been completed, whether it can sail away is not up to you, a shipbuilder, to control." Come, sit down and have a bite to eat, and watch the fireworks during the New Year. ”
Zhou Gongyi bowed to Yang Yi and sighed: "Your Highness is deep and steady, and he has always been calm in trouble, but Gongyi is incomparable. ”
Yang Yi naturally knew what Zhou Gongyi was referring to, those things in Wuzhi Mountain were the latest products of the world for Zhou Gongyi and others, but for Yang Yi, they were a little strange. After all, how could a person who had seen even the image of an atomic bomb explosion be amazed at the most primitive shell? There is really no comparison.
This is also the reason why Yang Yi has not been too eager for quick success, if he told Zhou Gongyi that there is a "cannonball" that can raze the entire Chengzhou Mansion to the ground at once, I am afraid that Zhou Gongyi, who will never question Yang Yi's words, will really go crazy.
The things of Wuzhishan can only come step by step, not too ambitious, only by laying a good foundation, the future can go more smoothly.
Yang Yi smiled: "Don't look down on me, just now Xue Zhengfang's arrow almost scared Lao Tzu out of urine." ”
As he spoke, Yang Yi felt palpitations and touched the shallow arrow marks on his face.
"Your Highness! The Wenzhou army has already begun to cross the dry stream. Monkey exclaimed.
Yang Yi clapped his hands and stroked away the remaining osmanthus cake residues on his hands, and smiled helplessly: "Xue Zhengfang's posture is not to kill me, and I will not give up." ”
"Your Highness, will you give the order?" Zhou Gongyi Road.
Yang Yi nodded and said indifferently, "Please start your performance." ”
Zhou Gongyi nodded solemnly when he heard this, personally took the flag in the hand of the flag commander next to him, walked to the hillside and waved it.
Suddenly, a slightly high-pitched horn sounded in the Shu army.
The Shu army's military formation by the dry stream immediately began to change, but instead of pressing forward, it retreated dozens of steps backwards, as if it was deliberately trying to distance itself from the Wenzhou army.
Seeing this situation, Xue Zhengfang was puzzled: "What does Shu Jun want to do?" Is it to give up on the defense? ”
The terrain here is flat, out of the small dry stream, the Shu army has no place to resist, if the Wenzhou army is allowed to cross the dry stream to attack the formation, then there will be no suspense in this war.
Just when Xue Zhengfang and the soldiers of the Wenzhou Army were puzzled, suddenly there were several violent bangs from the grove on the left.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Not only was everyone startled by these bangs, but even the surrounding birds were startled.
The soldiers of the Wenzhou army turned their heads to look, and saw several black objects with fire bursting out of the small forest where the sound came from, flying straight towards the Wenzhou army formation.
"Trebuchet?" Xue Zhengfang frowned, obviously he didn't expect the Shu army's "trebuchet" to be launched so far, but he was not worried, although the trebuchet attack was far away, its power in the field was extremely limited, and even if it was hit, the casualties caused would not be too great
At that moment, Xue Zhengfang immediately shouted: "Disperse!" Watch out for falling rocks! ”
But what Xue Zhengfang never expected was that his words fell, and the "black balls" with firelight accurately fell in the crowd of Wenzhou troops.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! …”
A huge explosion sounded in vain, and the countless shrapnel and strong air waves generated by the explosion of the shells directly knocked a large area of Wenzhou Army sergeants to the ground around them.
The smoke of the explosion cleared, and no sound could be heard except for the wails of those who had been blown up before they died. And four big craters appeared in the place where the four "black balls" landed, and the dozens of Wenzhou soldiers who were originally standing there have disappeared. The pit was a mess, with severed limbs and broken armor scattered to the ground.
No one could hear anything but the uncomfortable buzzing in their ears, and everyone was stunned.
Someone couldn't help but murmur, "This... Is this a thunderbolt? ”
No one told him the answer, for the roar that sounded again in the woods made them tremble.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!! ”
Several more "black balls" fell, and as before, with the sound of violent explosions, one hundred and ten soldiers of the Wenzhou Army were blown into the sky, and they were still inhuman when they fell.
And at this time, someone discovered something even more terrifying.
I saw dozens of trebuchets slowly driving out of the Shu army formation on the opposite side, and each trebuchet was filled with many black and shiny iron balls.
