Chapter Twenty-Six: The Burning Mountain City

The rumbling war drums sounded, this was the only chariot in Chen Xiaochu's new teleportation barracks, carrying a big drum, with the rhythmic percussion of the Han soldiers on both sides, the team of three thousand people moved slowly, and the layers were clearly arranged. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Finally arrived at Yamamoto Oura's lair, this guy didn't run away, Airi, did the men you sent to reconnoiter another mountain castle come back, do you still have troops in another mountain castle in Yamamoto?" Chen Xiaochu rode on his horse and said to Airi in front of him.

"No, the result is the same as last time, but as long as we take this city, any of his arrangements will have no effect, can we start now?" Airi asked.

"Let's get started, we've come this far, and all the preparations are for this moment. In the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is useless. Chen Xiaochu ordered: "The whole army advances." ”

The sound of the war drums immediately changed, and it became extremely excited, and the military formation of 3,000 people began to move forward slowly, densely packed, and Yamamoto Oura on the mountain castle gritted his teeth.

"What does this mean, without any siege weapons, put the archers at the front, and shoot at me? Aren't you afraid that I'll go out of the city to raid? Yamamoto Oura looked at Airi's military formation layout with some confusion.

In the puzzled eyes of the other party, countless raised braziers were carried out, and the archers lit one by one and took out special rockets.

"Three hundred people in a sequence, alternate cover, the first formation, step forward." Airi himself rode to the front of the army and commanded.

"What's that?" Airi who stepped forward soon saw the heads of the samurai who had been shown to the public, their unyielding faces, their eyes wide open, and their heads propped up by bamboo poles stuck in the sides of the road.

"You actually cleaned your own replicants?" Seeing this, Airi quickly guessed the possible cause.

"Airi, are you hesitating? Why didn't you release the arrows because you were concerned about the replicant civilians inside? Haven't we already discussed how many casualties will be paid if the city is sieged? Do you want to change your strategy? Seeing that Airi didn't move for a long time, Chen Xiaochu immediately questioned.

"I won't waver, it's a common agreement, the first formation, release the arrows." Hearing this, Airi's eyes immediately became firm, and he immediately ordered.

The first group of 300 bows and ashigaru immediately ran forward with lit arrows, and immediately shot the arrows when they came within range of the attack. Because the bow and arrow light array was very loose, the bow foot light arrow rain above the mountain city was hit, but there were only a dozen casualties, and this casualty was insignificant in Chen Xiaochu's opinion, and it was all within the estimate.

The rain of flaming arrows was not directed at the defenders, but at the buildings in the mountain castle. The effect of the first rain of flames and arrows was not very obvious, but Yamamoto Oura had already sensed that something was wrong.

"It's not to capture the mountain castle, but to burn it?" It didn't take long for Yamamoto Oura's exclamation to be swept in by another round of arrows with flames. Watching the rain of arrows drift over him and fall on the roofs of buildings, Yamamoto, who had not prepared much at all, began to panic a little at this moment.

"That's not the case, so it's useless to keep the time agreed with Gro." Many buildings have begun to catch fire, but Yamamoto, who lacks water, is at a loss at the moment.

"What a vicious ploy." Holding a bucket of water to extinguish a fire, another round of flaming arrows swept in, igniting more buildings, and Yamamoto Oura saw this and threw the barrel to the ground in anger, pulling out his saber and slashing the barrel. "What is it if you have the ability to attack the city?"

As more and more buildings are on fire, the replicants in the mountain castle begin to panic, and order begins to collapse, Yamamoto Oura hacks a replicant who rushed into him, and orders the clone army to put order in order, but no matter what the clone army does, nothing works, and the fire affects everyone's emotions.

Listening to the screams in the mountain castle, Airi was a little worried, but if she was given another chance to do it again, she would still do it without hesitation, "When you were afraid of Yamamoto Oura's death threat and aimed your blades at me, you said that you have a family and want to protect your children and parents, I sympathize with you, but if the ending is when I can only choose one between death and your death, I can only choose such an outcome." Airi himself lit a fiery arrow and drew his bow: "Please, die." ”

The rain of flames and arrows in the sky shot out again, and the gates of the mountain castle began to burn, and there were fewer and fewer bowshigaru in the city that could fight back, which made Airi's bow and arrow ashigaru even more unscrupulous to get close to the mountain castle and shoot rockets towards the deeper buildings.

"I can't wait any longer, or I'll be burned to ashes before Gro arrives, and I must escape." Seeing that the fire was already irreparably burning, Yamamoto Oura decided to abandon the mountain castle, looking at those chaotic replicants, a vicious plan rose in Yamamoto Oura's heart.

"Everything seems to be going well." Chen Xiaochu chuckled and chuckled after seeing that there were almost no arrows in the mountain city. "It's just that the oil consumes a bit too much, and it's a non-renewable resource, but it's worth it to destroy Yamamoto Oura."

"It's time for the dog to jump off the wall next." As soon as Chen Xiaochu's words fell, the mountain city was immediately opened, but the first wave of people who rushed out of the mountain city exceeded everyone's expectations, and there was no imaginary army rushing out in formation.

"Civilians?" Airi's face immediately became very ugly, he didn't expect Yamamoto Oura to be able to do this.

The panicked and crying people rushed out of the burning mountain city with the old and the young, and everyone had a helpless expression on their faces and shed miserable tears.

Behind them were Yamamoto Oura's army pressing them, and those who walked slowly were immediately stabbed to death, and no one dared to stay any longer, all of them crashed into Airi's army like headless flies.

"Eri, why don't you give the order to keep firing arrows? If you let them disrupt your military formation, Yamamoto Oura will take advantage of the chaos and run away, do you want to go through such a war? Chen Xiaochu hurriedly said, he had already seen a horse riding team mixed in the ranks of the chaotic people, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Human nature is a very complex thing, when Airi did not see the tragic situation of these civilians, she could not hesitate to let them die, but when they came to her, the arrows that Airi commanded could not shoot.

The sound of the children crying, the helpless cries of their mothers, and the countless old people falling to the ground, crawling in pain, made Airi fall into the torture of conscience, "I will regret shooting a rain of arrows of death at such a crowd." ”

"Damn." Seeing that Airi's military formation was squeezed out by civilians, and Yamamoto Oura's clone army began to get closer, Chen Xiaochu knew that Airi still couldn't do it, "If it goes on like this, it will let him run away." "As long as there is a slight crack in the tight military formation, it is an excellent breakthrough for the horse team, not to mention that Yamamoto Oura still has hundreds of clone guns, these people rush forward without shooting to death, tearing these cracks bigger and bigger.

"Erri, be sober, don't you notice that your hesitation has caused those civilians to die more? If you had just given the order to fire the arrows, it would have been civilians around Yamamoto Oura who had died. Now you're fighting each other with his army, and letting the civilians be hacked to death in the middle of the battle between the two clone armies, which is just a more brutal death. Chen Xiaochu communicated to Airi, but he couldn't hear back from the other party.

Airi was still retreating under the protection of the samurai retainers, and the phalanx of the archers had been completely crushed, and they who received the order to retreat were unable to get out of the battle in time due to the obstruction of too many civilians, and were killed by the spears that rushed up by Yamamoto Oura.

Airi's spear warriors, who had received the order to attack, were unable to squeeze to the front to support, but were confused by the retreating bowsfoot and the running civilians, and were unable to concentrate their forces.

"General Zhao." Chen Xiaochu urged the horses to run towards Zhao Yun's military formation, and he couldn't wait for the order because he was in a hurry. "General Zhao, immediately take Bai Mayi from the direction of intercepting the enemy's escape, and annihilate the cavalry team, leaving no one behind."

"My lord, if you don't rush through the friendly army's formation, you can't stop them in time." Zhao Yun arched his hand towards Chen Xiaochu, waiting for his choice.

"Allies?" Chen Xiaochu said with a smile: "General Zhao just needs to lead people to rush over, but what if she tramples a few people in her army to death, her hesitation just now will only make us die more people, and I am afraid that General Zhao will scruple about those civilians." ”

"Not my Chinese people, not in the benevolence and righteousness of General Gongsun, Zhao Yun is not qualified to ask the lord to do this, in the early years in the frontier, the barbarians and the people were all soldiers, when they plundered and killed everything, the wife would sing praises for her husband, the children would ride on horses and drag the stolen slaves, and the parents would be proud of their harvest. Therefore, in the face of what kind of law of survival, we can only use what kind of law of survival to fight back, blind mercy uses the wrong object, will only be regarded as weak and can be deceived sheep, only with the law of the grassland to treat the barbarian Rongdi, in order to win their respect, what is going on now, is war. ”

"White Horse Righteous Servant!" Zhao Yun, who was holding the silver spear high, shouted, "The Lord has an order, rush into battle." ”

Bai Ma Yoshicong, who was still silent just now, immediately echoed loudly, and three hundred spears were raised into the sky, and even Yamamoto Oura in the breakthrough of the battle was frightened, and the murderous aura of this group of people directly locked on him, making him feel a tingling scalp, as if he would be swallowed up immediately.

"Chen Xiaochu, what are you doing?" Airi saw Bai Ma Yi rushing from a fast speed, and soon approached the back of his military formation, and even the spear was flat, and immediately exclaimed.

"Since you can't do it, let me do the final blow, I've given you many chances." Chen Xiaochu responded indifferently.

"Let them stop, I've already sent samurai to intercept it, how can you do that." Airi wiped the tears from her face and cried out unwillingly.

"It's too late, besides, can your samurai stop the cavalry? No one can stop it. As soon as Chen Xiaochu's words fell, Zhao Yun took the lead in breaking through the chaotic battle group, bringing the white torrent in, as if a white spear head pierced into it, and soon penetrated into it.

"Yamamoto Oura, suffer death!"
