Chapter 1093: Small Victory
"Little brother, Steward Yu is really a god, he even thought of Fa'er to let the crossbow gun ignite the enemy ship, amazing!"
"Tsk, a hundred bed crossbows are projected in turn, and this crossbow spear flying in the air is like a silver snake dancing in the sky, which is really amazing. Tsk, if it were at night, it wouldn't be spectacular. ”
"In my opinion, this is a fire meteor, no, it should be a fire dance meteor shower, beautiful, so beautiful."
"Haha, you see, almost all of the enemy ships are set on fire now, look at those bandits, they are burned to the ground, yo ha...... These turtle sons actually jumped into the river. ”
"Good fellow, this gale has caused the fire of more than half of the ships to spread together."
"Haha, the morale of the bandit army has obviously been lost, depending on the situation, if the bed crossbow is projected for another hour or so, the fire of these hundred ships will be completely connected. At that time, if there is no rear to respond, these 100 ships and nearly 100,000 bandit troops will inevitably be destroyed in the fire. ”
"Huh, isn't that right?"
Cheng Erniu suddenly screamed, and wondered beside Guo Ye: "Why is the speed of the bed crossbow projection here in the Black Armor Xuan Barracks getting slower and slower?" Didn't Steward Yu just say that he would take turns projecting without interruption until the hundred enemy ships were burned down? ”
"Brother-in-law!"
Kang Bao also stepped forward, put away the excited look just now, and complained to Guo Ye unhappily: "How did this Cao Luxun get it?" And the rest of the housekeeper, how can you suddenly reduce the number of bed crossbow projections? The previous start immediately disintegrated the opponent's momentum, how can it be said that the projection is broken in a good situation? Brother-in-law, what the hell do you think they're up to? I'm going to scold these two guys. ”
With that, Kang Bao turned around and left.
was snorted by Guo Ye: "Come back!" ”
After drinking Kang Bao, Guo Ye shook his head solemnly and said, "What are you scolding them for?" The reason why they slowed down the bed crossbow projection was also a last resort, and you should act less recklessly. ”
Kang Bao was puzzled: "Brother-in-law, why do you have to do it as a last resort?" ”
Cheng Erniu also shook his head in agreement, expressing his puzzlement.
However, Pang Feihu seemed to have guessed something, and asked softly: "I noticed that although the little brother was happy on his face just now, his brows frowned slightly, as if he had something on his mind, could it be that he knew what was going on in the Black Armor Xuan Barracks?" ”
"Well, Feihu, you are calmer than the two of them."
Guo Ye praised Pang Feihu, then glared at the other two angrily, then sighed, and said helplessly: "It's not that Cao Luxun doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot, speed up the bed crossbow projection and completely burn the enemy ship, it should be that the crossbow guns needed for the bed crossbow have been exhausted." This was already expected by me, which is why I strongly asked Cao Luxun to retreat if he couldn't hold it, understand? The moment when the ballista is finally exhausted. Without the reliance of long-range shooting, it is equivalent to losing the natural danger of the Heishui River, can it be that with the 3,000 Black Armor Xuan Barracks, it can still block hundreds of thousands of bandit troops from forcibly crossing ashore? ”
"I see!"
Pang Feihu shook his head with a regretful face and sighed: "It's a pity, if we can hold out for another hour, these hundred enemy ships and the remaining tens of thousands of bandits will definitely be buried in the sea of fire." ”
Kang Bao and Cheng Erniu now understood the reason for the sudden reduction in projection on Cao Luxun's side, and they couldn't help but blush, feeling ashamed of the misunderstanding just now.
Guo Ye said lightly: "With only a hundred bed crossbows being able to hold on for so long, Cao Luxun and the Black Armor Xuan Barracks are really commendable. Fortunately, the crossbow was made day and night, otherwise I am afraid it would not have survived now. But don't be discouraged, a hundred enemy ships are connected together, and as long as the wind does not abate, there will always be a time when the fierce fire will spread to the end and burn the other party's hundred ships to ashes. Now that the other party is already in turmoil, where will they pay attention to the fact that our crossbow guns are about to run out? Don't worry, at least more than half of the 100 enemy ships in front of you have been burned down, and you can't save yourself, where is the strength to continue to move forward? ”
After that, Pang Feihu and the others' faces eased slightly, and they agreed with Guo Ye's analysis one after another in their hearts.
"On the contrary!"
Guo Ye continued to analyze with some optimism: "If the ships behind come to the rescue again, then the remaining ships in front of me will probably burn down in just a few hours, and then sink to the bottom of the river." The Heishui River is bottomless and the water is fast, and I am afraid that those bandits who abandon their boats and throw themselves into the river will all be buried in the belly of the fish. ”
Cheng Erniu hurriedly said: "Then the bandit ships behind here will come to pick up?" ”
Guo Ye shrugged with a smile, shook his head and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" That's ...... question."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Heishui River and said, "I'm afraid you have to ask Hu Bilie himself, who is hiding in the river boat behind, right?" ”
……
……
On the Heishui River, Hu Bilie witnessed with his own eyes that the hundred ships he had sent and nearly eighty or ninety thousand troops were caught in the fire. That's what makes a person anxious, and that's what makes an angry head.
Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect that the hundreds of bed crossbows of the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river would actually shoot out fiery crossbow guns, and they were projected out like a rain of fire from the sky, destroying the one-line ship formation formed by his hundreds of ships.
More than half of the 100 ships were caught in flames, and as the river breeze helped to inflict it, the fire spread so quickly and terrifyingly.
He expected that within two hours, the remaining hundred ships would surely be buried in the flames, and finally sink to the bottom of the river.
As for his subordinates, who are almost half of the troops, I am afraid that they will also be buried in the belly of the fish.
Hate!
What a hate!
In less than a stick of incense, more than half of the troops were destroyed, which Hu Bilie never expected.
From afar, I heard the mournful cries and sounds of help coming from the direction of the ship's formation at the front of the fire, as well as the popping and popping of the people on the boat who were exhausted and threw themselves into the Heishui River...... Hu Bilie's heart was dripping blood, and he felt so distressed that he felt that he had been forced to cramp and peel off his skin.
At this time, several powerful subordinates avoided Hu Bilie in shock, and did not dare to step forward and approach half a step, for fear of touching the moldy head.
Only one of the subordinates who was a little more courageous took a few steps forward with a weak heart, and asked weakly: "Sect Master, the brothers in front of us have suffered heavy losses at the moment, and we have lost this battle." Shall we sail the boat up to meet it? After all, they are all brothers of our White Lotus Sect, so they can't be burned alive, right? Even if you can't burn to death, throw yourself into the river and jump into the Heishui River, you will only be swept away by the big waves! ”
"Answer?"
Hu Bilie frowned and glared fiercely at the subordinate who spoke, shook his head fiercely, and said: "We must not answer, once we move forward, we just fall for the tricks of the official army." The 100 river boats in front of us that fell into the sea of fire were our end. No, you can't go to the rescue. ”
Although he felt sorry for the eighty or ninety thousand people in front of him who were caught in the sea of fire, he would never risk his life.
As soon as these words came out, it immediately made several powerful subordinates feel cold.
Hu Bilie, the eighth calf of the king, is really fucking unkind and ruthless.
However, since Hu Bilie said so, the others naturally did not step forward and try their best to persuade him. Because the friends of the dead Dao do not die in the poor Dao, everyone joins the White Lotus Sect to rebel, which is nothing more than seeking wealth and lust and wealth, and they are not guilty of taking their own lives for some people who are about to die. is the so-called blowing a pool of spring water, what is the matter?
Immediately, several people remained silent, watching the formation of ships in front of them sinking to the bottom of the river one after another, and continued to listen fiercely to the ghosts and wolves and the sounds of the brothers in the fire in front of them.
Hu Bilie's attitude of not responding and not rescuing announced the second forced crossing plan, which was a complete failure.
At the moment, he was afraid of the hundreds of bed crossbows of the official army that would shoot arrows like fire meteors, and the lessons of the past, and the living tragedy in front of him, he really didn't dare to lead the ship to go further even half a step.
In desperation, he had no choice but to wave his hand and order to those subordinates: "Pass on the order of the sect leader, turn back, retreat, and after discussing the plan to cross the river, then make a forced crossing." ”
After a while, the remaining 100 or so river boats turned their bows and turned back towards the trajectory they had come.
Hu Bilie's plan to forcibly cross the Heishui River was declared a complete failure.
As the more than 100 surviving ships of the White Lotus Sect turned back and retreated, the defense line of the Black Armor Xuan Barracks suddenly resounded with cheers and joy, venting the tension and depression they had borne before.
With only 3,000 soldiers and 100 bed crossbows, it blocked the forced crossing of more than 200 river boats and more than 200,000 bandit troops, and finally destroyed more than 100 ships and nearly 100,000 troops of the other side, which is a remarkable achievement.
Even Cao Luxun, who has always led the Black Armor Xuan Barracks across the north and south of the river, and is extremely proud of winning a hundred battles, has to admit that this is definitely a miracle.
The east gate of Lingnan City, on the city tower.
It was also caught in a tumult of cheering and boiling.
Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, Cheng Erniu, Zhu Fatzi and others celebrated one after another.
Guo Ye quietly walked out of the sea of cheers, came to a secluded place in a corner of the city tower, leaned against the city wall and sighed with relief.
But he couldn't be happy, really couldn't be happy.
Because he knew very well that Hu Bilie was a fool, but it didn't mean that there were no people in Qianzhou City who knew the goods and saw that the crossbow was running out and the bed crossbow was about to become an ornament.
Then, the next battle, compared with Hu Bilie's battle, is bound to be more dangerous and more intense.
At that time, not to mention Cao Luxun's 3,000 Black Armor Xuan Barracks, I am afraid that even the East Gate Tower will not be able to stop the bandit army from forcibly crossing the Heishui River and storming Lingnan City.
Defeat is the trend of the times, but I don't know how long I can hold on.
Remove?
Not really what he intended.
At this time, he could only pray that Li Jing would recover the fifteen states of Lingnan as soon as possible and rush to his aid as soon as possible.
Otherwise......
He really only had a tail between his legs and looked like a rabbit, and he was chased all over the mountain by the White Lotus bandits.
Although escaping is a tactic, if you don't fight, you will fight, but if you really go that far, you will really lose your adult if you send it back to Chang'an!
