Chapter 80: The Battle of Black Ridge Cliff II
The soldiers below watched that the main general not only did not block, but instead sent hundreds of spearmen to follow, as well as archers to gradually move forward to support, so what did they care, they each played their lives and rushed forward, the credit is in front, whoever doesn't grab is a fool!
I saw thousands of soldiers ignoring the barrier of the fence all the way, frantically chasing the deserters of the Feiyun Army, at first there was a unique order to push the fence in a row, so that the follow-up troops could follow closely, to the back, I found that the Feiyun Army seemed to be completely unprepared, that bit of vigilance had already been thrown to the country of Gran, the soldiers each waved their knives and cut the road, there was no team at all, where to care about any backup!
At first, it seemed that they were about to catch up, but in the back, those Feiyun defeated soldiers seemed to float up, running faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away. [Ran^Text^Library] At first, some of the soldiers felt that something was wrong, and was about to stop to take a closer look, but as soon as they stopped, they saw that the other soldiers were chasing after them like crazy, and there seemed to be no danger, and they continued to chase after them for fear that they would be robbed of their merits by others.
But after seeing those Feiyun defeated soldiers who were running fast and skipped more than ten fences, they came to another opening in the Black Ridge Cliff, and disappeared when they turned around. The soldiers of the Dark Cloud Army suddenly lost their target, and they all stopped involuntarily, not knowing whether to chase or not.
And the main general is still outside the Black Ridge Cliff at this time, and it will take a while to wait for the orders to be passed over in turn, and this meeting is enough to decide the success or failure of this war!
I saw that a large group of people and horses suddenly discharged from the Black Ridge Cliff Pass. Several rows of soldiers in front of them each held large forks to support dozens of large grass balls, and there were many shadows behind them, and I don't know how many people there were. The big grass ball was as tall as two people, and two small soldiers with large forks next to it stuck in from the side to prevent it from rolling forward along the terrain. The cliff wind of the Black Ridge Cliff slowly blows the grass along the cliff mouth, and from time to time there are several grass that is not tightly moved along the wind and blows into the air.
At this time, even a second fool knew that he had been ambushed, let alone a soldier of Dark Cloud City with both wisdom and beauty!
At the same time, Meng Er's two rows of big teeth were exposed, and he turned around and smiled: "Those puppies are going to run away!" ”
Li Jing's eyes widened shirtless, and he looked from afar, knowing that time was not waiting, and he was impatient to wait for the order, so he shouted directly: "Ignition, ignition!" ”
The mountain hero who commanded in front was impatient, and he had long wanted to give the order, but he was embarrassed to order it directly, so he kept looking behind in annoyance, and at this time, he suddenly heard Li Jing's shout, and couldn't help jumping with joy, and snatched a torch with his hand. The soldier with the torch was drowsy with heat, and he was taken off his hand without noticing, and his spirit was sober at once, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he looked back, he was the commander.
The mountain hero hurriedly waved his hand: "You go aside!" Then he jumped forward, jumped to the front of the formation, lit all the way around the seven big grass balls in the first row, and shouted: "Release!" ”
The soldiers with the big forks were feeling too hot, and finally they heard the commander speak, and quickly pulled the big forks to the side, and saw seven big fireballs like wild horses, and they rolled forward with joy.
The entire Black Ridge Cliff is only about two hundred meters between the east and west entrances, maybe it is still almost, when I came in, I didn't feel that when I ran for my life now, it seemed that the exit was outside the Nine Heavens, and I wished that there was the ability to shrink the earth in an instant. The low fences, which they didn't find in the way when they came in, seemed to be very sad one by one, and from time to time soldiers were hooked by their clothes and hit the ground. And the seven big fireballs were aided by the wind, and the flames blew with the wind seven or eight meters long, and although they were all stopped by the fence, the flames ignited the next fence at once. The fence was slightly burned by the flames, and it burned up in a line, and the flames of the fence were also extraordinarily elongated, and in a few places they were even enough to reach the next fence, and the next fence was also lit.
Just burned, using the fence to stop the fireball, and many soldiers of the Dark Cloud Army escaped, but they heard several shouts from the top of the cliff, "Ignite, ignite!" ”。 The faces of the soldiers of the Dark Cloud Army turned pale with shock, and when they looked up, they saw dozens of large fireballs blowing down with the wind, heading straight for the exit.
In the Feiyun Army in the rear, dozens of fireballs have all been released, and the rear suddenly made the sound of bowstrings, and saw hundreds of rockets being shot out, shooting indiscriminately all over the sky, or hitting the Dark Cloud Army or shooting the fence, making the fire at the bottom of the cliff a little bigger.
I heard a "suddenly" sound in the middle of the air, and I saw that in the middle of the cliff, there were more than ten wooden boxes and many things wrapped in a large number of dead wood trunks suddenly fell, and they smashed to the ground in an instant, bursting open, and there seemed to be something that ignited the fire with fire oil, and it was the hot time at noon, and the thing caught fire when it saw the wind, and each exploded into countless fire points, which really burned the bottom of a 100-meter cliff into a sea of hellfire.
Although the two sides are only nearly two hundred meters, most of the soldiers of the Dark Cloud Army have been unable to escape, there are more than ten fireballs in front of them blocking the exit, there are more than ten fences burned into more than ten lines of fire to separate people from each other, and there are many fallen dead wood trunks into giant torches, burning a piece of red ground, but the odious thing is that dozens of big fireballs rushing from the direction of the Feiyun Army gradually burned down the fence one after another. There is no way to advance or retreat, there is really no way to go to the sky, there is no door to enter the ground, only to raise the knife into a quick swing!
And Wu Liuer looked at the fire, anger rose from his heart, he had already given several death orders, and the soldiers who went to put out the fire either did not dare to step forward or their faces were burned by the fire. Those fireballs that blocked the mouth are quite interesting, they no longer roll when they roll here, and they accumulate together to block an exit, and more than ten fireballs gather together to make the fire bigger, and the flames that spread out in the wind are more than ten meters long, and they can't get close at all, not to mention that there is no water nearby, and there are no other fire extinguishing things at all, that is, there is no way.
Wu Liuer and the four thousand soldiers who hadn't had time to go in couldn't help but be afraid, but fortunately they didn't get in time, otherwise they would have been burned to death if they went in. Wang Jian, a veteran on one side, looked at the old tears on both sides, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly walked to Wu Liuer's side, and said: "General, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's quickly retreat!" ”
Wu Liuer seemed to be still looking at the fire in a daze, and couldn't believe that the Brahma fire had been created in an instant, Wang Jian sighed in his heart, but where his duty was, he shook it again, and his heart was anxious and couldn't help but shout loudly and call again. Wu Liuer was startled, turned his head to look, and said, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, what's the matter?" ”
Wang Jian: "General, retreat, it's too dangerous here!" ”
Wu Liuer gritted his teeth and said, "No, let's go, what about the brothers there!" Liu Hu, Liu Hu, they are still inside. ”
Wang Jian was anxious, in case this fire rushed out, the loss would be even greater, so he hurriedly grabbed Wu Liuer's arm with one hand and said angrily: "Sixth son, let's go, they can't get out, and if they don't leave, it's too late!" ”
As if to confirm Wang Jian's words, many rockets were scattered from the top of the cliff, although many arrows were blown away by the wind and lost direction and strength, but also hit the few morales of the dark cloud army to the verge of collapse.
Wu Liuer stared at the flames rising into the sky in front of him, knowing that what Wang Jian said was right, but he was unwilling, unwilling! Wang Jian tried hard to pull Wu Liuer away, Wu Liuer's strong temperament also came up, staring at the front is not retreating, at this time a rocket grazed Wu Liuer's face and fell, Wu Liuer jumped to the side suddenly, and finally relieved of his anger and was dragged by Wang Jian to walk, and the other soldiers were also amnesty, and then ran, four thousand soldiers and horses "wow" sound, all ran backwards.
Inside the temporary master tent of Mount Blackling
Meng Erdu: "Hey, this fire is estimated to be burning, they don't dare to come, and they haven't seen any movement for two days!" ”
Chang Haoxue drank a bowl of tea saucers and said: "It's just that it was burned, and the construction site at that pass was burned to scorched earth, the soil was burned hard, but the stones were burned too brittle, and the construction work we did before was basically done in vain!" ”
Wang Gou'er took the big pu fan and said while fanning hard: "I can't say that, there are so many of them, I am still a new soldier, how can I fight?" ”
Shan Daxia lowered his head, played with a wrench he picked up on the battlefield, and muttered: "This time, my subordinates who cleaned up the battlefield reported that more than 700 people were burned to death, but none of us died, but there were quite a lot of people suffering from heat stroke, and a few stupid boys were hot when they picked up things, which really me off!" ”
Yun Changtian frowned and looked at the shirtless few people next to him, although the weather was extremely hot, he still refused to take off his white clothes, just kept taking out a towel to wipe his sweat, and said slowly at this time: "I don't know how many of the Dark Cloud Army behind here, according to the information that Gou'er's men probed last time, this time the city lord of Dark Cloud City estimated that he used at least 80,000 troops, and he had to run more than 100,000." I have already reported to the Western Army in Zheyun City for help according to Lao Li's meaning. I just don't know what the commander of the Western Army, Miao Hong, means. ”
Li Jingzheng was shirtless, holding a plate in one hand, but he didn't drink it, he looked at the map carefully, and suddenly heard Yun Changtian finish speaking, came back to his senses, and said slowly: "Whatever, our eighth is a subordinate relationship with the Western Army, but in fact, we have no dealings." The main thing is that the city lord is in charge of us directly. I wonder if the city lord has received a letter for help? If the Feiyun Army can't send troops over to help this time, it is estimated that it will be a big trouble! ”
Yun Changtian frowned, knowing that Li Jing meant that this Changshui Pass and Heiling Cliff would not be able to hold it if there were no reinforcements. And the Western Army is also the boss, not to mention the second, except for the eighth capital here and the second capital under Mi Fangqiu, Miao Hong actually only has six capitals, and the sixth capital is also Mi Fangqiu's old subordinates, who are still in the process of reorganization, and they can't go into battle at all. Three of the other five must be guarded against in other directions. And Zheyun City wants the army to stay behind, but in fact, it can't draw troops to come to help. If there are more people coming, I'm afraid that the remnants of the forces in Zheyun City will be in turmoil, and if there are fewer people who come, they won't be used at all, it's really difficult to do! These things are actually on the bright side, not only are the people here very clear, but it is estimated that the people in Dark Cloud City know no less than them!
Over there, Chang Haoxue drank the eighth bowl of tea, patted his stomach, and there was a sound of water in it, listening to this sound, he seemed to feel cooler, and then said: "The current situation is that even if the pass is repaired, it is difficult to defend the whole line with these troops in hand, if they come from other places, such as Heiling Mountain, we can't stop it at all!" ”
Li Jing put down the tea saucer he was dragging in his hand, thought about it, and said, "No matter what, we have to resist for a while first, and wait for the city lord to have a plan, whether to defend or withdraw, and then talk about it." Now listen to me, first find a way to resist for five or six days, and then talk about it without losing the pass. You see, here's another ...... for me."
The other generals were attracted by Li Jing's words, and they all stretched out their heads to look around the map.
Since Wu Liuer was set on fire by Li Jing last time, the morale of his subordinates has been very low, and he didn't dare to raise the courage to fight a battle to get back face, because he didn't have to think about it to know that on such a hot day, Li Jing could set fire again, and even if Wu Liuer knew that he was going to set fire, what could he do? Could it be that Dark Cloud City can really attract dark clouds to rain, then it's really a hell!
Three days later, the Dark Cloud Army finally arrived, and the Dark Cloud Bin arrived at the Black Ridge Cliff with the newly appointed Deputy Army General An Zhi leading an army of 120,000 Dark Cloud Three Cities.
Wu Yunbin wondered in his heart, Wu Liu'er had 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and was assisted by the veteran Wang Jian, but he didn't break through this Laoshizi Heiling Cliff. In this small place, Wuyunbin didn't even bother to set up the tent, so he called Wu Liu'er and Wang Jian.
Wang Jian was next to him, where did Wu Liu'er dare to lie, so he had to report the fire before and after the fire truthfully.
Wen Wen's veteran Wang Jian and Wu Liu'er, a rising star in the clan, actually lost to Li Jing together. Wuyunbin couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart, it was really that the camp tent was not settled, and he was going to lead the army to attack, Wang Jian was heavy, and felt that it was not so easy. Wu Liu'er just wanted the city lord's uncle to avenge him, so he instigated him one after another. Wang Jian already had a slight contempt for this Wu Liu'er in his heart, and was about to expose the ugliness of his last defeat, who knew that the new deputy military division, the new celebrity and close minister around the city lord, An Zhi quietly waved his hand to Wang Jian, and quietly signaled him not to say it again, Wang Jian has been an official for decades, and he was temporarily angry, and after a little, he calmed down, knowing that he was out of shape, he quickly shut up and honestly followed behind the main frame of the city lord.
At this time, the Wuyun Army went to the Black Ridge Cliff for the second time, and saw that this time the Feiyun Army seemed to be preparing to set fire again and build a fence again, but this time the difference was that only two fences stood in the middle, and the last one was on the other side of the Black Ridge Cliff. There are still hundreds of soldiers guarding here, and the weapons they hold are also very simple, each of them is the most basic broadsword and shield, and there are not even a few spears, bows and arrows, etc. (.)
