Chapter 243: Counterattacked

Today's 11,000 soldiers and horses are less than one-tenth of the rebels in Xucheng, in other words, it is not enough to stuff people's teeth.

In order not to be eaten by the rebels in one bite of more than 10,000 men and horses, they can only divide labor and cooperate and divide troops to attack, so as to attract the attention of the rebels in many places.

Xia Wanyi pulled a junior general and said to him: "You take a thousand soldiers and horses to retreat three miles, divided into two parts, the first half holds the flag high, beats the drum and shouts, and the second half rides around the horse and raises dust. ”

The young general's eyes flickered, this move is to confuse the enemy, so that they don't know that our side has enough soldiers and horses to deal with the rebels, even if it doesn't work, it can also give the rebels a psychological pressure.

"The last general obeys!" The young general commanded.

This trick has been used by many people in history, and it depends on whether it can work this time.

Xia Wanyi took 3,000 soldiers and horses and went around to a high slope outside the east gate of the capital.

The east gate had not yet been breached by the rebels, and the rebels' ladders and catapults were all beckoning to the east gate. Taking a closer look, Xia Wanyi found that there were not many rebels here, less than about 50,000.

And whether it is the city gate or the city wall, it is already full of corpses, as well as some discarded equipment.

Blood, in the yang, a different kind of dazzling.

Even so, the rebels who were besieging the city poured forward one after another, and the defenders ran out of bows and arrows, and stones, and burned them with fire.

"The rebels have put heavy troops at the main gate, and the east gate, west gate, and north gate seem to be just trying to attract our firepower." Liang Hu was on the side and said to Xia Wanyi. The fastest, the newer, the newest

"Before they react to us, let's light a fire to their butts as a greeting gift." Xia Wanyi raised his sword, "Bow and crossbow bomb thrower ready!" ”

These 3,000 soldiers and horses were all handed over to him by Song Sing, the magistrate of Jinxian County, and he also brought a lot of bomb throwers and large bows and crossbows. At the sound of an order in the summer evening, twenty bomb trucks lined up in a row, and they were quickly loaded with explosives the size of a football ball.

And the ten crossbow carts moved a few feet downhill.

"Whoa!"

A crossbow as wide as a carriage, loaded with ten crossbow arrows, pulled away with the strength of the arms of two strong soldiers!

"Look! There is a case in the back! At this moment, the rebels who were besieging the city did not know who noticed the movement here, and hurriedly shouted.

At this moment, Xia Wanyi's raised sword simply waved neatly: "Bow and crossbow fire!" ”

"Whoosh!"

A total of 100 large crossbow arrows were like wild horses that had escaped from the reins, heading straight for the outskirts of the rebels a few hundred meters away!

Soon, the crossbow bolts pierced the crowd, and there was a wail, and some of the rebels were even strung up by a crossbow like a barbecue skewer, and they pushed forward a long distance before stopping.

These 100 crossbow arrows caused chaos on the periphery of the rebels.

Catapults threw stones at the city gates and walls, and it was difficult for them to turn around and attack the men and horses on the high slopes for a while.

A rebel general immediately shouted: "The rear army went up and destroyed them!" ”

This shout woke up the soldiers on the periphery of the rebels, and they quickly gathered a rear army and rushed towards the high slope, and a group of cavalry in the rear army had already rushed out dozens of meters.

Where to give them a chance in the summer evening!

"Bomb truck!"

Suddenly, the fuse of the explosives on the bomb truck was ignited, and at the soldier's operation, the ammunition whizzed across the sky and fired at the rear of the rebels.

"Boom!"

Twenty bomb-throwing carts were divided into two groups, and this greeting was ten explosives, which blew up the rebels' rear soldiers on their backs, wounded and killed, because the power of gunpowder was not as great as that of later generations, so there were more wounds and fewer deaths.

But even so, Xia Wanyi was very satisfied.

"Crossbowmen!" If you fight back like this, your own people will become cannon fodder if they are late, and the general of the rebels just now changed their strategy, "Shoot their bomb trucks with fire crossbows!" ”

The distance was a little far, and the shouts of killing resounded all over the world, Xia Wanyi didn't know the words of the rebel generals at all.

The crossbowmen on Xia Wanyi's side fired crossbow arrows again, took away a group of people from the other side, and then bombarded with explosives.

This shot and bomb made some rebels at the east gate extremely strong, and it also caused them to slow down the speed of attacking the east gate.

That's what you want! Xia Wanyi looked at the situation with satisfaction, as long as he waited for the arrival of the army of King Qin of White Tiger City, he could give the rebels of the East Gate a humanitarian destruction.

However, just as Xia Wanyi was thinking about it, he saw Fang's rebels launch five ballistas, and the ballistas raised at a certain angle, facing the soldiers on his side!

At this tense moment, he heard the whistling of explosives from the bomb carts in his own camp, and after a while, he smashed into the opponent's ballista camp.

Three of the opposing team's ballistas were scrapped, and the rebels were blown up.

However, after all, the opponent's number was too large, and the soldiers who were not affected by the explosives immediately filled the vacant position and pulled the bow and crossbow!

"Whoosh!" The crossbow with fire shoots straight at it like a fire-breathing dragon!

"Prince be careful!"

A guard beside him was rushing towards Xia Wanyi, and the two of them rolled their horses and rolled down several meters.

And as soon as he stopped, the firebolt shot into the camp.

Even two boxes with explosives were lit, the lids of the boxes were open, and they were just in the open air, ignited by the flames of the fire of the fire crossbow!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two explosions in a row.

"Boom, boom!"

The first two explosions were followed by several explosions.

His own soldiers were wailing about the wounded and dying, and the soldiers closest to the explosives were directly blown up and lacked arms and legs, which was miserable.

Blood, even splashed on Xia Wanyi's body!

"Suppress each other!"

Xia Wanyi, who was lying on the ground, heard Liang Hu's voice, Xia Wanyi hurriedly looked over and found that Liang Hu had also fallen to the ground, but his clothes had been scorched a little.

As soon as Liang Hu finished speaking, the unharmed bomb trucks gave priority to bombing the rebels' ballistas and nearby soldiers.

"Hey!" Xia Wanyi patted the guards who were still pressing on him, but he didn't move.

Suddenly realizing something, Xia Wanyi hurriedly turned over by herself, and then took a look and found that the other party had been hit by an arrow in the back.

The fire had scorched all the wounds, and the fire was spreading.

Xia Wanyi hurriedly grabbed a pile of sand next to him and went to put out the fire, although he already knew that the guard had died.

After the fire was extinguished, Xia Wan wanted to turn over the guards who were still warm to prevent the cruel wounds from being revealed, but unexpectedly found that the fire crossbow actually nailed the guards to the ground.

Seeing someone die tragically because of himself, Xia Wanyi was heartbroken.

"Yikes!" Xia Wanyi stood up, held the crossbow arrow with both hands, and struggled to pull the crossbow arrow out.

A touch of blood splashed on Xia Wanyi's body.

Turn the guard over again, it's a young life!

Xia Wanyi's hand wiped in front of the guard's eyes, and the guard, who was open-eyed, closed his eyes.

This scene was seen by many soldiers present, and their hands were tightly clenched into fists.
