Chapter 117: Sea of Fire
Xiang Yu and Yingbu, who were standing less than a hundred steps away from the main gate of the camp, were naturally also under the cover of the Qin army's crossbow arrows!
Fortunately, Xiang Yu's battalion is not small, and the Qin army is lined up to shoot, not to cover a certain place in a centralized manner! After all, this is not a head-to-head duel, you need to cover the kill once, and then charge head-on to break through!
Xiang Yu and Yingbu were a little embarrassed, and they used the weapons in their hands to block the more than ten crossbow arrows falling above their heads! Immediately after that, the two of them discovered at the same time that a large group of people who appeared in front of the main gate of the camp and had approached less than fifty steps from the main gate of the camp were approaching quickly!
It's those ironclad soldiers!
Xiang Yu's face turned pale, and he glanced at the Baiyue barbarians who were lying on the ground in the camp and were still wailing, and then looked at the tens of thousands of Baiyue barbarian soldiers who were lucky not to die on the spot.
"The army retreated from the rear camp to the mountains! Fast! Xiang Yu reluctantly glanced at the Xuanwu soldiers who were about to break into the door covered in armor and holding a hideous stick in their hands, gritted their teeth and ordered loudly!
In the current situation, the tactics of the Qin army are already obvious.
Taking advantage of the favorable conditions of the cavalry galloping like flying, the gallop roamed around the camp and constantly shot his own soldiers with strong crossbows. Then the Xuanwu army, covered with armor, broke into the camp and fought!
If Xiang Yu's army fled, then it would be exactly what the Qin army wanted!
How can a two-legged man outrun a four-legged animal?
In the wilderness, the tens of thousands of defeated Yue barbarians must have only one way to go, and that is to be chased and killed all the way to death by the thousands of elite horsemen of the Qin army!
It was already very difficult for more than 30,000 Baiyue barbarians to resist these two thousand Xuanwu troops covered in iron armor, and now with the thousands of Great Qin cavalry wandering outside the camp constantly shooting with strong crossbows, what else could they resist?
What's more, now that these Baiyue barbarians were hunted and killed twice by the Qin army when they went out to loot again, they were basically already frightened when they saw the Great Qin cavalry! How else to resist these invulnerable ironclad soldiers?
Xiang Yu was extremely aggrieved and unwilling. But there is no way!
The only thing he is glad about now is that he still has a back road, otherwise if his army is camped in the wilderness, I am afraid that there will be absolutely no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, and he can only lead his neck to be killed!
Xiang Yu's burst of shouting suddenly woke up the tens of thousands of Yue barbarians who were originally at a loss!
Just now, a wave of arrows rained down on the Qin army, and the Baiyue barbarians killed and injured at least more than 5,000 people! Now the number of Xiang Yu's army is less than 25,000 people! The strength of the two sides was not at the same level, and the gap was suddenly even greater!
Tens of thousands of barbarian swarms rushed towards the rear of the camp, going up the mountain early, and getting out of the sea of bitterness as soon as possible! The Baiyue barbarians, who were originally not dead, were trampled to death by this time, and I don't know how many people were trampled to death!
During the run, from time to time, the Baiyue barbarians who accidentally fell down were trampled to death by the Baiyue barbarians who swarmed behind before they had time to let out a scream!
The chaotic scene in front of me is out of control! Now the Baiyue Barbarians have only one thought, and that is to run! Who still knows who is a general and who is a soldier!
Everyone, it's just to run for your life!
Xiang Yu and Yingbu have completely lost their command of this Baiyue barbarian army at this moment! Even though Yingbu and Xiang Yu shouted out their throats, no one reacted!
Xiang Yu, who was furious, was just about to kill a few hundred Yue barbarians with ten thousand enemies, but he didn't want to be stopped by Yingbu! Xiang Yu turned his head and stared at Yingbu, but before he could speak, there was a "click, click, click!" from the direction of the main gate of the camp. "A series of loud bangs!
Turning his head, a tower-like man with a height of more than one zhang was holding a hideous stick two or three zhang long in his hand and waving it, and the fence as thick as Chengren's calf at the main gate of the camp turned into sawdust and scattered all over the ground!
"Bang!"
In a moment, the tall gate of the camp was destroyed by Weng Zhongsheng, and the tall gate slammed to the ground, making a loud noise!
Weng Zhong laughed and stepped into Xiang Yu's camp first!
The two thousand Xuanwu troops behind him kept the formation closely following, and the camp gate was not wide, although the two thousand Xuanwu troops were arranged in a triangular frontal battle array, the camp gate was obviously useless!
But it's all the little things!
There is Weng Zhong in front as an example, and the Xuanwu army in the back naturally knows what to do!
The continuous "click" sounded!
As Weng Zhong's battle array advanced, everything that stood in the way was destroyed by the Xuanwu soldiers with the mace stick in their hands! Leave all over the place!
Such a violent way of breaking the camp seems to have never been in Xiang Yu's impression, nor in Yingbu's memory, nor in Baiyue Barbarian's memory!!
Is this still something that can be done by man?
After a short period of calm, the tens of thousands of Yue barbarians who were originally swarming and fleeing suddenly went crazy!
This madness is not to resist the Xuanwu army that has broken through the camp, but to flee for life! For the sake of going up the mountain! To stay away from these non-human creatures!
Xiang Yu and Yingbu were horrified in their hearts, and hurriedly followed the retreating army towards the rear camp!
Looking at the Baiyue barbarians who were in a mess and only cared about fleeing for their lives, Weng Zhong was not in a hurry! Without hurry, he led two thousand Xuanwu troops in a strict formation, followed behind the Baiyue barbarians, and crushed towards the depths of the camp step by step with the monstrous momentum of crushing everything!
All the obstacles encountered on the way, whether it was the camp tent or the corpses of the Baiyue barbarians all over the ground, were endlessly swept away and trampled down!
Long Ji, who was the first to arrive at the rear camp, had already led people to demolish the entire section of the camp wall next to Mengshan Mountain at the rear of the camp, and vacated a passage of more than 500 steps up the mountain!
The attack on the camp behind him was heard clearly, but the rear of the camp was not attacked by crossbow machines! Immediately afterwards, the entire camp began to boil, and what was visible to the naked eye was countless figures running towards the rear of the camp!
The dragon wasn't too surprised!
The power of the Qin army's strong crossbow was already enjoyed by him during the battle of the Huai River! For these Baiyue barbarians who have no fighting spirit, Long is not surprised at all!
Fortunately, as long as you hold off the Qin Emperor! The dragon comforted himself!
In less than a moment, the Baiyue barbarians who were running at the forefront had already swarmed in! Without the dragon and reminder, they rushed out of the camp one after another, and drilled into the mountain!
Long Ji did not rush up the mountain under the escort of dozens of personal guards, but walked towards the front of the camp, no matter what the reason, he had to wait for Xiang Yu to come and go together!!
More and more Baiyue barbarians are coming, and they are going up the mountain one after another!
Difficulties were interspersed in the crowd, and from time to time there were guards who were scattered by the swarming Baiyue barbarians. But fortunately, after a while, Long He saw Xiang Yu and Yingbu running over under the surroundment of more than 100 people, and Long He was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him!
In the camp ahead, with a slight tremor, there was a muffled sound of thunderous footsteps! This is clearly not the sound of horses' hooves!
"Those ironclad Qin troops have broken through the camp and entered!"
As if seeing Long Ji's doubts, Xiang Yu explained indignantly!
"Don't worry, the young general, the Qin army's crossbow arrows and cavalry can only exert their power in the wilderness, and the same is true for those ironclad soldiers! Come to think of it, as long as I wait for the mountain, those Qin troops will definitely not be able to wait for me! Long He comforted, "It's still the major general's clever plan to leave a way back here for us, otherwise this battle will be unimaginable!" ”
At the end, Long quietly slapped Xiang Yu on the back!
"Hmm!" Hearing Long Ji's words, Xiang Yu's depression in his heart dissipated a little, and he snorted! Glancing hatefully at the footsteps that were getting closer and closer behind him, Xiang Yu turned his head and said, "Let's go, I'll wait to go up the mountain!" Saying that, he took the lead and walked towards Mengshan Mountain, which was dozens of steps away!
Long Ji and Yingbu hurriedly followed!
Just walked out of more than ten steps!
In the depths of the originally dark mountain forest, a little spark suddenly appeared, followed by two and three o'clock, and in the blink of an eye, it became hundreds of sparks!
This sudden scene suddenly made the Baiyue barbarians, who were excitedly swarming up the mountain, stand on the spot!
Could it be that some beast can't do it?
Seeing the hundreds of red rays that suddenly appeared in the depths of the mountaintop, Xiang Yu's heart suddenly flashed with a strong uneasiness!
Well?
Xiang Yu sniffed suddenly, and a faint pungent and spicy breath mixed in the air!
"Not good! It's fire oil! Evacuate! ”
Xiang Yu's face changed greatly, and he suddenly shouted loudly in horror!
However, it seems that he is so slow again by so many beats!
With Xiang Yu's roar, the hundreds of Martian red rays that were originally standing still suddenly turned into red meteors, heading straight for the Baiyue barbarians crowded below!
Baiyue Barbarians, who have now gone up the mountain for at least nearly 20,000, heard Xiang Yu's roar, and suddenly it was like an explosion of the pot, and he instantly changed from swarming up to rushing down the mountain!
More than 100 meteors fell into the dense forest in the blink of an eye!
"Boom!"
In the dark dense forest, hundreds of flames two or three feet high rose into the sky! And these hundreds of flames were expanding and spreading dramatically, and in an instant, hundreds of flames two or three feet high were connected!
The entire belly of the mountain suddenly became a sea of fire!
Countless Baiyue barbarians who rushed to the front and crowded together, and didn't turn around in a hurry at all, turned into a lively fire man in an instant in this sea of fire! Constantly rolling and beating the flames on his body, trying to escape from the sea of fire!
Countless eerie howls pierced the night sky!
Baiyue Barbarian, who originally fell behind because of his slow running, immediately turned around and began to scramble to go down the mountain! The crowded Baiyue barbarians were crowded and stamped frantically in order to seize the road!
From time to time, fire people who rushed out of the sea of fire fell to the ground, convulsed and fell to the ground to die! Similarly, from time to time, the Baiyue barbarians, who were dizzy and wanted to flee, plunged into the sea of fire!
For a while, the tens of thousands of Yue barbarians under the command of the entire Xiang Yu had completely fallen into chaos! Everywhere there are headless flies like Baiyue barbarians scurrying around, and there are new fires rising everywhere!
Xiang Yu, Long Ji, and Yingbu looked at the sea of fire rising into the sky with cold hands and feet, and looked at the tens of thousands of Yue barbarians who had been completely messed up! Three tormented hearts fell into the endless abyss in an instant!
