Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Storming Fire
"Poison! This plan is really poisonous! ”
"Wang Xu is going to burn us alive." Li Zhi wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.
The lieutenant said: "General, let's rush to the north, there seems to be no movement over there." ”
Li Zhi had to think about it now, but he knew very well in his heart that there were fires burning in the east, south, and west, and it was impossible for the north to be silent, which was unreasonable, and he was sure that there must be greater dangers waiting for him in the north.
After thinking for a moment, Li Zhi said: "Don't turn the direction again, if you hesitate any longer, the fire in the city will get bigger and bigger, and you will really not be able to rush out then." ”
"So what do we do now?"
Li Zhi turned the long knife horizontally, gritted his teeth and said, "Rush for me, rush out!" ”
"Order, five hundred men in a team, continue to charge, without stopping, in addition, to the east, west, and north to send a thousand men to test, if there is no danger, we will change direction."
"Order!"
Outside the south gate, all the soldiers gathered at this time, a total of five hundred archers, one thousand spear warriors, these are well-equipped soldiers, and the rest are two thousand sword and shield bearers, two thousand spear warriors, but these soldiers are all wounded, Wang Xu arranged them aside, no special circumstances, never let them participate in the battle.
Sun Yu came to Wang Xu and said, "Lord, the fire in the city has already burned, but."
"But what?"
Sun Yu said worriedly: "Li Zhi only brought more than 10,000 elite horsemen into the city, but there are still thousands of infantry troops thirty miles away who have not come, if they see a sky-high fire burning here, they will definitely come to the rescue, and then with our little strength, it may be difficult to resist." ”
"That's a good point." Wang Xu nodded: "It takes two hours for the infantry to march thirty miles in a hurry, so we must solve the battle within two hours, and we can't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it." ”
Sun Yu solemnly hugged his fist, and then came to the archers phalanx in front.
After a while, the city gate was opened, and countless enemy soldiers who were ignited by the fire shouted and rushed out, Sun Yu sneered twice, waved his hand, and said: "Release the arrows, don't hurt the war horse, just shoot the enemy army." ”
"Whoosh".
Hearing the order, all the archers shot their arrows at this time, and each arrow was viciously shot at the soldiers, who had no resistance at all, and as soon as they ran out, they were shot on their backs.
yes
Puff puff
yes
Screams erupted from outside the city gates
But at this moment, those ownerless war horses rushed towards the archers' phalanx, Sun Yu was startled, and immediately ordered the five hundred soldiers to be divided into two slopes, stationed on both sides of the city gate, the effect is still the same, as long as someone runs out, they will be able to shoot them to death immediately.
The war horses ran forward, and Wang Xu laughed and said, "Stop those war horses, don't let them run." ”
These are the capital to survive in the future!
And they are the most elite horses, which are contributed by the counties of Guxi County or purchased from Hexi County, which is extremely rare, and the strongest war horses in the world are nothing more than from two places, one is the prairie in the north, and the other is the Hexi Iron Horse.
"Order."
Suddenly, dozens of soldiers raised their spears to intercept the war horses, and when the war horses met the spears, they immediately stopped and stopped, and then some soldiers pulled the war horses aside to pacify.
The fire in the city was getting bigger and bigger, Huang Quan and his entourage came to the palace, threw the torch in their hands, and asked the soldiers around him, "Have they all been lit?" ”
The soldier grinned and said, "My lord, it's all lit, this mansion is the last place." ”
"But, we're nowhere to go."
Huang Quan said with a smile: "What's the panic, isn't there nothing in this mansion, everyone is ambushed in the hall of the mansion, if Li Zhi comes before, I will capture him." ”
"That's a great achievement, hehe," the soldier said.
Huang Quan waved his hand and said: "But this great achievement is not easy to stand, Li Zhi is extremely brave, and I am afraid that we will be his opponents." ”
After thinking about it, Huang Quan said: "Pass the order, if you can't capture Li Zhi, then you will also order this mansion and die with that turtle grandson!" ”
"No."
Inside the South Gate.
Li Zhi saw the soldiers who rushed out and let out a scream like killing a pig, he was finally afraid, at this moment the fire in the city was soaring, there was nowhere to stay, if he didn't rush out, there was only one way to die.
However, from the countless screams and the sound of arrows flying, he could preliminarily judge that there must be a large number of enemy soldiers waiting outside the city gate. At this time, if you rush forward, it is also a dead end.
"General, we have no way, the rear army has been blocked by the fire, and the brothers are struggling in the fire." The lieutenant said hurriedly, he was about to cry at the moment, he really regretted that he didn't go into the city, how could he make such a fuss.
Li Zhi raised his head and took a deep breath and said, "How about the brothers in the east, west, and north?" ”
The captain choked up and said, "All dead, all buried in the fire." ”
The fire was unprecedented, and Li Zhi sighed: "This battle, even if Wang Xu wins, it will be too careless." ”
"This is not the general's fault, the general has been very careful, but no one expected that Wang Xu would place fire oil in the city." The lieutenant said.
At this time, a soldier came running: "General, there is still a place in the city that has not been wiped out by the fire. ”
"Where?"
The soldier said: "One mile to the north, Wanling County Mansion." ”
Li Zhi seemed to see the dawn, and immediately turned his horse's head and rushed back, shouting as he rushed: "All move closer to the direction of the government office, all move closer to the direction of the government office, there is no fire there."
The soldiers were overjoyed, and immediately rushed back behind Li Zhi, this was their only hope, the east, south, west, and north four city gates were blocked by the enemy, and now they had to temporarily take refuge in the city, wait for the fire to subside slightly, and then force a breakthrough
Outside the south gate, Wang Xu smiled on his face, looking at the sturdy war horses next to him, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, looked at a school captain, Wang Xu said: "How many war horses have you caught now?" ”
The lieutenant replied: "Back to the lord, there are more than five thousand horses. ”
"Okay, I've made a fortune, I'm not afraid of the enemy's elite cavalry in the future, and after this battle, I will train a powerful elite iron cavalry, which will be more powerful than the elite cavalry of the royal city." Thinking of the future, Wang Xu suddenly became full of pride.
The captain flattered and said, "Lord, can I be a cavalry captain?" ”
"You?" Wang Xu looked sideways and said happily: "Okay, it's accurate, you will be a cavalry captain!" ”
The captain said excitedly: "Thank you lord, my subordinates will definitely kill more enemies and train the cavalry well." ”
Wang Xu nodded, and moved his mind to the scene, training the cavalry is an afterthought, now it's better to deal with Li Zhi first, according to the number of war horses rushing out, it can be judged that there are still thousands of enemies in the city, even if some are burned to death, there are still a lot, and you can't relax.
Moreover, just now the spies came to report, Qin Shuang, who was thirty miles away, had already set out of camp, and the speed was very fast, obviously in a hurry.
Therefore, the battle must be resolved within two hours, otherwise everything will fall short.
