Chapter 50: Night Attack (4)
"Great cannibal, get up and see the great gift I gave you - Spitfire Meteor!"
"Jun-chan, are you ready?" At this time, Xiao Qu was sick and high-spirited, and he was arrogant. The flickering light of the torches shone on his face full of excitement and excitement, and a pair of eyes shone brighter than ever. Gu Xiaojun on the side was also infected by his emotions, his heart shook, his face turned red, and he nodded.
"Ready, let's go." After speaking, he took out a long arrow from the Hu Lu on his waist and handed it to Xiao Quzhi.
Gu Xiaojun had two Hulu hanging on his waist, and each Hulu contained twenty arrows, and these forty arrows were the gifts that Xiao Qu was going to give to the big cannibal.
This is not an ordinary feather arrow for killing, but an extended version of the giant arrow that Xiao Quai's temporary craftsmen in the camp made. The average feather arrow is only a little more than two feet (30 centimeters in the Tang Dynasty, and the average shaft is 60-70 centimeters long), and the carved arrows used by the condor archers are more than three feet. However, the forty arrows that Xiao Quzhi asked the craftsmen to make were more than four feet long, and the feathers at the end of the arrows alone were eight inches long.
This arrow was specially made to set fire!
The tip of each arrow was wrapped with five or six layers of cloth, soaked in fierce fire oil to absorb the oil, and then packed into a hulu to set fire to the best of all.
Before this, he and Gu Xiaojun had done experiments, using these arrows to pull the sky-shaking bow full and throw it, according to the different elevation angles, it could shoot more than 800 steps at most, and it could shoot more than 500 steps recently. In other words, Xiao Qubing is standing here to shoot arrows, and the landing location of the elongated giant arrow can almost cover the first two big food barracks!
Xiao Qu stopped talking and lit the huge arrow in his hand, and he had to shoot these forty arrows as soon as possible.
Call! Xiao Quzhi let go of the bowstring, and the blazing rocket was like a meteor, speeding through the gray night sky, flying higher and higher, and then rushing down, with a whistling and piercing sound of breaking wind, flying towards the military tent of Da Shi in the distance.
The first rocket had not been far away, and Xiao Quai's second arrow had already been fired. Gu Xiaojun pulled out three giant arrows at once and lit them together. Xiao Qu shot one, and he handed one over. The two worked together tacitly, and in almost a minute, Xiao Qu shot forty rockets at once.
It was as if a sudden meteor shower pierced the darkness of the night sky and instantly lit up the entire sky. The more than 400 Anxi cavalry who were watching the battle in the back all looked up at this splendid and brilliant scene in amazement. They were shocked all of a sudden, and they couldn't believe that this rain of arrows shot so high, so far, and so densely, it was actually done by one person!
The big cannibal was also shocked, and the four military camps of the big cannibal, when many big cannibal soldiers came out of the tent in a daze, they saw such a magnificent and magnificent scene. Everyone watched with their mouths wide open, and then watched as these meteor showers landed on their camp.
The rocket landed on the tent beside them, and in an instant, the tent set on fire, and the flames soared into the sky; The rocket landed on several hapless Arab warriors, instantly nailed them to the ground, and then set their clothes on fire, and the whole person became a burning man; The rocket landed on a war horse, instantly piercing its neck, the war horse fell to the ground, and the other war horses were frightened, and began to go crazy, kicking and jumping, desperately trying to break free from the reins, neighing incessantly.
All of a sudden, the two large camps north of Dashi were like a rain of fire, and they suddenly fell into chaos. A handful of Khorasan religious warriors, who had just woken up and were extremely devout, watched in a daze as the rain of fire fell from the sky. Unexplainable, they could only attribute this to the gods, and they completely ignored the burning tent next to them, and fell to their knees, their heads and hands on the ground, and muttered prayers. They thought this was Hu Da's punishment for them, and kept praying for forgiveness!
Asim was also shocked, but he quickly reacted. With red eyes, he kicked a Khorasan religious warrior who was kneeling on the ground praying: "Get up for me, this is not a punishment for Hu Da, this is a rocket of the Tang people!" ”
The Khorasan religious warrior who was kicked to his side quickly fell to his knees again, and said in shock: "General, we are riddled with sins, Hu Da wants to punish us, this rain of fire fell from the sky, and the Tang people's rockets can't shoot so high!" After saying that, he continued to put his head on the ground and prayed non-stop.
Most of the Khorasan warriors, although they did not kneel in prayer, just stood stupidly, dazed and at a loss. Until I heard Asim shouting: "What are you doing in a daze!" Hurry up and put out the fire, and the others go to take care of the horses, so as not to let the horses be frightened. ”
But the horses had long been frightened, and at this time, in the middle of the camp, more than a thousand horses in a frenzy of restlessness finally ripped off the stakes of the bolted horses. More than a thousand frightened horses scattered and fled, rampage all the way. At this time, those big food soldiers were unlucky, and one of them was hit and broken in time if they didn't dodge in time. In particular, many of the Great Food Eaters who knelt on the ground and prayed were directly trampled to death by horses.
Originally, Xiao Quai's rockets could only cover the two big food barracks in the north, and the two barracks in the south were not affected much. As a result, at this time, the frightened war horse rushed to the south, and suddenly the two military camps in the south also fell into great chaos. If it weren't for the fact that this army was really elite, if it was replaced by the ordinary Zhaowu Nine ** team, I was afraid that there would be a camp roar immediately. But even so, when the more than 1,000 frightened horses finally rushed out of the Great Food camp, the four camps of the Great Food were still in a mess, with many dead and wounded.
Asimu looked at the miserable scene of his camp with a flawed eye, and he estimated a little, even those who were burned, hit to death, and trampled to death, at least half of them were killed or injured. The remaining half were also terrified, and simply could not quickly organize effective measures of resistance.
"Damned Anthy dog thieves, you will go to Hellfire!" Viciously scolding, Asim ordered loudly: "Give an order to the two battalions behind, assemble the whole army, mount the horse, and make a detour from both sides...... Spread out, everyone, and lie down! ”
When the Great Food Barracks was in chaos, the Anxi Army would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to attack. Gu Xiaojun rode on his war horse, held the torch high, and turned around three times. The three hundred crossbow cavalry behind the two immediately divided into two groups and circled from both sides. Under the leadership of Xiao Quzhi and Amir Jiang respectively, they quickly pounced on the two camps north of Dashi. One volley, killing at least two hundred Great Food Eaters.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves fading away, Asimu pushed away the two soldiers who were pressing on him with red eyes, all covered in blood. This blood was not his own, and at the critical moment, two loyal guards protected him with their bodies, and only then did he save his life. The two guards were not so lucky, one was hit by two arrows in the back and one in the head, and by this time they were already dead.
"Hurry up for me if you're not dead! Hurry up to the camp in the south, Mutaia, you go to the camp in the northwest to command. ”
Several guards who were not dead immediately surrounded him and protected him in the middle, and several people looked at each other and looked around on the ground: "General, Mutaia was shot dead by Anxi dogs!" ”
Mudea was the captain of Asim's personal army, and a sad expression flashed in Asim's eyes, but he immediately became resolute and fierce again. He pointed to another guard and said, "Nahim, you go to the northwest camp to command, bring the living people to the southwest camp, and the cavalry with horses will mount and attack." There are not many people attacking the Anxi army, and I will kill them all! ”
