Chapter 100: Governor William who is unwilling to fail
Thousands of wooden boxes were thrown down from the air, and the pitch-black liquid was sprinkled all over the ground, just exuding a fishy smell, so that many Cypriots couldn't figure it out for a while, and they didn't know what kind of means it was!
Soon, countless flaming rockets were launched from the camp!
The next moment, the black liquid on the ground suddenly burned, and the more it burned, the more it burned!
Not long ago, the soldiers who had just been contaminated with the liquid oil suffered for the first time, no matter whether they used their hands or soil, they could not extinguish the fire on their bodies, and let out a miserable howl, like people who fell into the water and could not swim, desperately threw themselves at the others around them and cried out in pain for help!
Seeing the person who was knocked down, he quickly turned into the same miserable appearance, and the other soldiers nearby hurriedly dodged, as if they had encountered a terrible ghost for a while, and in a panic, a terrible trampling occurred!
"It's the Divine Fire, the Divine Fire γγγγγγ"
Seeing these fires that could not be extinguished, some ignorant Cypriots shouted in horror, causing an even greater commotion, and they all desperately squeezed out.
In this era, there are almost no people who do not believe in ghosts and gods, and the more uncivilized the realm, the more they believe in ghosts and gods, the high-nosed Sai people also worship various gods very much, and the gods worshiped by the tribe daily are their highest gods!
Thousands of boxes of oil have been thrown out, the stone thrower is still working, and the following is the solid kerosene made from animal carcasses, although it is not as good as the top of the oil, but it can also play a certain role in combustion!
While fighting fiercely with Huyan Leopard, William watched the riots and trampling on the battlefield, his face was covered with frost, and he immediately realized that the army had kicked the hard stubble, and the casualties in this offensive should be quite heavy, and the defeat was decided, so he had to signal the nearby guards to blow the horn and retreat!
"Fighting with my Huyan Leopard, you dare to be distracted and look for death!" Huyan Leopard was extremely furious, and immediately increased his attack, and the war spear was cast in his hand, as if it was alive!
After a few rounds, William took the opportunity to retreat and said loudly: "You are a good opponent, it's a pity, this is the battlefield, we have a chance to fight again!" β
Governor William is now not only a strong martial general, but also the commander of this army, he knows the priorities of the matter, he now needs to command the safe retreat of the army, naturally he does not want to be entangled with Huyan Leopard anymore.
"Thief, Hugh go! The leopard master has not yet enjoyed himself, and he will fight with Lao Tzu for another 300 rounds! β
Huyan Leopard shouted loudly and immediately chased after him, but he was immediately surrounded by layers of soldiers, trapped inside, and watched William ride his war horse and disappear in front of his eyes, jumping like thunder, but helpless!
"It's a pity that our cavalry can't get out! Otherwise, the results will be even more brilliant! Meng Ping and Zhang Hua walked towards Gongzi together and said very regretfully.
"Uncle Meng Ping, it's already very good to have such a record today, thanks to the unexpected deterrence of Tianhuo!" Gongzi Wei Huixing explained.
In fact, the lethality of the heavenly fire did not cause many deaths, but the chaos caused by the first appearance of the battlefield was quite amazing!
"It's called Heavenly Fire, what the hell is going on? Is that all? Zhang Hua's inquiry went straight to the point.
Except for Tang Zhongwei and Cao Da, who knew a little, the others in Phoenix Fort did not hear the news, which was specially instructed by Gongzi Wei Xing to Ning Xiaowu and others;
Zhang Hua and the others, who have been spending their energy on military training, are naturally very curious about this thing called Tianhuo now!
"This is what Ning Xiaowu discovered, some specific things, you can ask him!" Gongzi Wei Xing needed to deal with other things and beckoned to Ning Xiaowu in the distance.
Subsequently, Ning Xiaowu explained the ins and outs of this to the two of them with great interest, and his words naturally increased his own credit!
At this time, Ning Xiaowu felt that he was no longer the lazy waste, and now that he had finally found a career that proved his worth, he was extremely excited and excited in his heart!
Afterwards, the people of Phoenix Fort began to clean up the miserable battlefield, giving a sharp answer to the enemies who had not yet completely lost their breath!
This is something that I can't bear to witness, and Gongzi Wei Xing proudly handed it over to the somewhat timid recruits to exercise their courage and blood!
At the same time, he did not forget to hurriedly transport these weapons back to the other side of the river, and let people constantly urge the craftsmen of the Three Strings of Gourd Valley to make horseshoes at full speed all night long.
After dark, Governor William heard the astonishing attrition of the day, and suddenly vomited blood in anger!
"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?"
"Does it matter, Your Excellency?"
γγγγγγ
The commanders in the big tent asked in panic.
"Let's all go out first and calm the soldiers' emotions!" William showed a serious expression and slowly waved his palm!
"Governorγγγγγγ" shouted one of William's henchmen uneasily.
"Get out!" William's eyes suddenly changed, and he shone sharply, and roared loudly.
More than 20 commanders retreated tremblingly!
Then, there was a sound of falling things from the big tent!
"Damn hillbilly, let Lao Tzu lose more than 8,000 soldiers and horses!"
"On the day when the camp is breached, Lao Tzu will definitely peel off your skin, and there will be no one left!"
"Damn it, you don't even qualify as slaves!"
γγγγγγ
William vented to his heart's content in his big tent, and the commanders looked at each other not far away, not knowing what to do next, the army had begun to run out of food, and tonight they could only rely on the prey hunted from everywhere to cook it into a thin broth, and it would be there for the time being!
As for the slaves who were still alive, they were subconsciously ignored by them!
The next day, the expected battle did not take place.
Huyan Leopard hurriedly jumped off his horse and reported: "Childe, the Sai people have divided into dozens of cavalry teams and scattered around looking for food!" β
"In the enemy camp, there are only two or three thousand soldiers and horses left, or we will destroy their old nest and see how they spend the night!"
Listening to Huyan Leopard's eagerly encouraging tone, Gongzi Wei Xing shook his head and responded very calmly: "There is no hurry, time is on our side!" Their forces have gone through some attrition, but they are still more than three times ours, we are careless, slowly consumed, the victory is still ours in the end, we don't need to take risks! β
Zhang Hua and Meng Ping nodded one after another, agreeing very much with Gongzi's somewhat rather conservative suggestion, Phoenix Fort should not take risks.
Huyan Leopard was frustrated, he still wanted to fight with the blonde William for hundreds of rounds!
γγγγγγ
At night, William's Great Tent
"Your Excellency the Governor, the enemy is like a king who has shrunk into a turtle shell, and if he is not fooled into robbing the camp, what will we do tomorrow? There was not enough food, and the soldiers were already complaining in private! A commander asked cautiously.
His words revealed that he wanted to return to the capital, but he did not dare to say it explicitly.
William did not reply immediately, and sat down on the mat tiredly, looking very depressed.
After a while, he asked in a cold voice, "Lack of food, won't there be seven or eight thousand slaves?" β
The commander was shocked, and couldn't believe his ears, and asked again with trepidation: "Your Excellency, do you really want to do this?" β
Since the official establishment of the Xiaowan Kingdom, they have stood side by side with the countries of the Western Regions on an equal footing, and they have abandoned the bad habit of eating "two-legged sheep";
Once known to other kingdoms and forces, the reputation of the Xiaowan Kingdom will suffer a huge loss, and it will fall back into a situation of being cursed and isolated, and no one will have anything to do with it!
"What if we don't, it's thousands of miles away from the capital, and the closest territory to us is five or six hundred miles, where will the food come from?" William abruptly stood up and asked loudly.
"Your Excellency the Governor, why should we stay here so much if we hunt and rob some of the nearby tribes, and more than 14,000 soldiers can reach our territory in five days?" Relying on his old qualifications, the commander finally spoke his advice.
"Nope! Never! β
"If you don't pacify this group of turtles, this governor swears not to withdraw troops!" William roared wildly, very unwilling to return home.
He knew in his heart that His Majesty the King of Cyprus secretly feared and disgusted him, and now that he had lost his troops and returned to the court, he would be deprived of his official position at the lightest!
Having tasted the taste of power, he is deeply obsessed with it, and he does not want to lose everything he has in front of him!
"Butγγγγγγ," said the veteran commander, who wanted to admonish him for the last time.
"My heart has been determined, and I should not say more; Otherwise, don't blame Governor Ben for turning his face and being ruthless! β
"Go down and prepare food for the children! I'll figure out a way to break through the enemy camp. William commanded in a cold, frosty voice.
The commander had no choice but to retreat in a huff, ready to convey the governor's order to slaughter "two sheep" to satisfy their hunger, as their ancestors had done!
