Jiang Fan and Liu Feng gathered their troops, and after counting, they found that there were more than 300 people in the river reclamation team, and hundreds of people were wounded, and the archers were killed and wounded dozens of people, and in less than a quarter of an hour, nearly 1,000 casualties were actually caused, and the losses were outrageous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe two came to Ji Dan to report the situation dejectedly.

"What's the matter, you can't stand dying so much?" Ji Dan shouted angrily: "The hard battle has just begun, we have an army of 70,000, what is this loss?" Cheer up and think of countermeasures, let's fight again tomorrow! ”

He returned to the camp with his team and immediately summoned the generals to a meeting in the tent of the Chinese army, the main task of which was to study how to break the chariot archers of the Zhou Chamber.

After discussing for a long time, there was no good way, and finally Ji Peng said: "Since the other party uses a chariot, we actually have more chariots, so draw a gourd and put the archers in the chariot and shoot at them, even if you can't hurt them, at least you can suppress them." ”

Liu Feng frowned and said, "But our carriages are all open, and we can't cover the archers!" ”

Ji Peng said: "That's not simple, let's just add a baffle to the carriage!" Let's assign the chariots and shoot them in batches, which can ensure a continuous blow to the opponent, so that they can't even raise their heads, let alone threaten our team to fill the river! ”

Everyone nodded in favor, and Ji Dan clapped his hand and said: "Okay, immediately arrange someone to add a baffle to the chariot, and this matter will be taken care of by Ji Peng's Western Zhou army, this matter must be completed today, and tomorrow, we must fill in the moat." ”

"No!" Ji Peng received the order and went to arrange for people to add baffles to the carriage.

After the morning food on the second day, Ji Dan asked Ji Peng to pull all the chariots over, looking at the wooden baffle more than three feet high on the carriage, he nodded with satisfaction: "With this thing, the archers of the Zhou Chamber can't be beautiful!" ”

Then the task was assigned: "Liu Feng's 3,000 archers all sat in the carriage, and the 300 chariots were placed by the river, crushing the opponent's archers to death; Jiang Fan is responsible for filling the river, which must be completed within two hours; After filling in the river, Lin Fang is responsible for attacking the city wall, and today you will give your two armies a total of 25,000 troops; Wenxiu led 3,000 men to attack the city gates; Two thousand cavalry and ten thousand foot soldiers swept with me as a reserve. ”

Ji Dan's eyes flashed: "Set off in half an hour, bring all the siege equipment such as ladders, rushing cars, and hook grasps, and you must take the royal city today." The eldest brother stayed in the camp with the remaining more than 10,000 people. ”

Everyone agreed with a bang, and each went down to prepare. As soon as the hour arrived, a team of more than 50,000 people rumbled towards the royal city again.

The first to reach the moat were three hundred chariots, lined up along the banks of the river, each with ten archers seated.

Liu Feng rode his war horse and shouted back and forth: "We have three thousand archers, they are less than a thousand, as long as you see the opponent's chariot coming, you will give me the mission to shoot, let them hide, until the river reclamation team completes its work." ”

When the war horse was running, he felt that there seemed to be a sticky feeling under the horse's hooves, so he looked down and saw that the ground was covered with a layer of black oil, and he secretly said in his heart: Could it be that yesterday's blood has not coagulated? Only three or four hundred people died, can there be so much blood? At this moment the river reclamation team came to the shore with sandbags, and he stopped paying attention to his feet, staring at the opposite bank, and when the chariot appeared, he gave the order to shoot.

What made him strange was that for a long time, the opponent's chariot had not appeared, not even stones and feathered spears had been shot, and the river reclamation team had calmly filled in the river two or three feet of road. What's going on? Did they know that we also used chariots and couldn't please them, so they simply gave up the moat? Shouldn't it?

Jiang Fan also noticed the strangeness of the situation, and approached Liu Feng and said, "It doesn't seem normal!" ”

Liu Feng thought so much in his heart, but he emboldened himself and said, "What's abnormal? Our tens of thousands of troops gathered by the river, they were already frightened when they saw this formation, where would they dare to provoke us? ”

Jiang Fan shook his head and said: "According to my observation of the Son of Heaven, he is not a good master, and there are endless conspiracies and tricks, which makes people unguardable!" ”

Liu Feng asked puzzledly, "Have you had a lot of contact with him?" ”

"It's not much, but it's already a headache. For example, in the last competition, we were all worried that he would drunk everyone with wine, but we didn't expect him to overturn us with rice, and the one who lost was inexplicable, and we couldn't find his fault. Ay! ”

"Hahahaha!" Liu Feng burst into laughter: "A group of rice buckets! ”

At this moment, several "whine" sounds sounded, which was the familiar sound of the feather spear breaking through the air yesterday. The two of them hurriedly looked up, only to see a few feather spears flying rapidly across the sky, and the strange thing was that there were flames on the spearheads.

Liu Feng's heart suddenly moved, and he said loudly: "It's not good! There's oil on the ground, everyone get out of here. As he spoke, he kicked the horse's belly hard, and quickly left the riverbank, and after stopping far away, he shook his head secretly: It must be that after we retreated yesterday, the defenders spread a layer of grease on the riverbank, and we have been thinking about how to break his chariot archers, who thought that this hand actually came, it is really full of tricks! Big trouble!

Not to mention that everyone didn't understand what he meant, but even if they did, these archers were all sitting in the carriage, and the carriage had just been surrounded by high baffles, and it would take a lot of effort to escape.

Nine feather spears puffed into the floor on the shore, but not a single one of them was shot, and the soldiers and archers who filled the river were cheering, but their faces immediately changed, and they saw that the ground instantly ignited a raging fire, and the fire was so fierce that it followed the grease all over the ground, and by the gusts of river wind, before they could react, it had swept the entire river bank overwhelmingly, forming a vast sea of fire.

None of the 300 chariots were caught in the fire, and half of the soldiers were caught in the fire.

With a "crackling" sound, there were bursts of creepy screams from the sea of fire, and one by one the soldiers with flames jumped out of the fire, their clothes and beards had already burned, and they cried and slapped the fire on their bodies.

The reclamation soldiers, who were not caught in the flames, threw away their sandbags like ghosts and ran wildly, completely ignoring the sharp knives of the prison army.

Ji Dan and tens of thousands of others watched the fire take the lives of many soldiers, but they could only stare dryly and helplessly, and their eyes were tearful for a while, and their hearts were frightened. They all thought to themselves: before they crossed the river, there was such a big loss, what kind of sudden blow would they encounter when crossing the river? What unexpected attacks will you encounter during the siege? can only be beaten and can't fight back, how can this city be attacked?

Morale suddenly fell to the extreme.

Liu Feng rode a war horse, with a team of guards along the edge of the sea of fire, found that someone escaped and asked the guards to come to the rescue, found that someone reached out in the fire and quickly dragged it out with a horse rope, under the busyness, but also saved many people, just a drop in the bucket, most of them still disappeared forever in the sea of fire.

After a full quarter of an hour, the fire gradually subsided, and the three hundred chariots were reduced to ashes, and the six hundred horses that pulled the chariots died, and none of them were left behind. Of the 3,000 archers, only more than 1,000 survived in the end, and most of them were seriously burned, so this battle is definitely not worth counting on. Liu Feng looked at the unrecognizable appearance of his subordinates, and couldn't help but feel sad, kneeling and crying.
