Chapter 559: The Exploding Fort

Arrows fell from a distance, stuck in the open space in front of the fort, like patches of rice stubble after harvesting. The open window on the fort, a crossbow with a cold light, the gun poked out from the inside, as long as the corrected soldier aimed, with a shout, the crossbow, the gun will bring out a huge force, fiercely into the cavalry of the Dada Department, the next moment, it is the person on the back of the horse overturned.

However, even if the three forts were equipped with a total of nine pedals, crossbows, and countless sharp arrows, they could not stop the attack of the Dadabu cavalry.

"Chu Tou'er! Something is wrong with Xianbei this time."

"I've been able to rush a hundred paces, and their bows are almost overcome!"

"Chu Tou'er, they can't go on like this regardless of casualties, in case they fight, they have to save their physical strength"

Chu Daxing's hands trembled a little, but he firmly grasped the trigger, his eyes were fixed on the front, ready to shoot the crossbow and gun in his hand at any time, as if he didn't hear the voice of the person next to him at all.

Nonsense, Yuwen Yong has already taken the stone city, and Yuwen Fox must capture Wangshan Fort, otherwise what is the fight with Yuwen Yong?

As for saving physical strength, they will rush over sooner or later, and the blade battle is already a certainty, so while they still have the strength, it is the right thing to kill a few more.

Chu Daxing looked at the sky in front of him, where there was smoke and dust rising to the sky, and it seemed that the Xianbei people who were attacking under the banner of Dada in front of him seemed to have enlightened

As if to confirm that Chu Daxing's guess was correct, the cavalry of the Dada Department then stopped attacking, and after splitting the formation, there were a large number of slaves carrying branches and dirt on their backs and Jin people scattered outside the city.

This is the usual siege method of the Xianbei people, driving the people and slaves to consume the defenders, or carrying firewood to fill the tunnels and moats.

Chu Daxing gritted his teeth and said, "There is no forgiveness for killing, as long as you enter within a hundred steps, you will be shot to death!" ”

Someone next to him was stunned, and the latter shouted: "There are our people in there"

"Smack!"

A big mouth, the latter turned around and fell to the ground, Chu Daxing scolded: "Confused! The Xianbei people have attacked, and we are all dead! Do you think they can go back if we don't shoot? As long as they take a step back, they will be killed by the Xianbei people who oversaw the war! They are already dead! ”

"You want a bunch of dead people to help the Xianbei people break through our fort and kill us all?!"

Hou Sheng's eyes widened, ignoring the knocked out tooth, and he also shouted loudly: "That's also my Jin people!" I Jin people can't die in the hands of my Jin people, don't let me go"

A man dragged the stunned offspring behind and shouted, "Chu Tou'er said it! I hear you! Kill! ”

At such times, wars are never merciless, and the kind of people who give up their own country's gains and losses because there are people from their own country in the opposing crowd cannot be found here. Maybe there will be some people in the army, or maybe if it is someone like Sima Yu and Qian Bo'an, it is impossible for Chu Daxing to say what he said just now. If he said it, he would inevitably be resolutely opposed by people like Sima Yu.

Subsequently, like Chu Daxing's fort, the soldiers in the other two forts also began to shoot, and the slaves and Jin people who were forced to come forward to fill the pit were shot to death.

At first, after dozens of people died, some people began to retreat, and others, seeing the tragic death of their companions, immediately threw down what they were holding in their arms and ran back. However, behind these people were the Xianbei cavalry riding on horses and wielding scimitars, and whenever anyone returned, they would ride forward and kill those who returned, holding blood-dripping scimitars and roaring loudly in Xianbei language, galloping back and forth, as if warning, intimidation, and threat

And yet these people, these ordinary people, are all dead in the end.

As the Xianbei people slowly advanced, an hour later, the criss-crossing ravines dug by the Wangshan soldiers to block the cavalry charge were half filled. The Xianbei cavalry relied on improvised wooden shields to advance continuously, narrowing the distance between the two sides to less than fifty paces.

Then came the charge.

The cavalry of the Dada tribe screamed, and the scimitars in their hands either reflected the light or were thick with blood, and rushed through the mountain pass, and the arrows from the horse's bows rained down on the fort, and some of them also shot through the holes in the fort, or could injure the soldiers inside, or were avoided.

Chu Daxing's shoulder was scratched, and his deputy was shot in the arm, and then someone replaced him to assist in the shooting of the foot pedal and crossbow. Others bandaged him. Subsequently, more arrows came, and when the cavalry of the Xianbei people had broken through to the last two or three ravines, Chu Daxing ordered to start retreating.

By this time, all the slaves and Jin people who were forced to advance as auxiliaries had died.

"Burn them! Don't leave a single one to the brutes! ”

Smoke rose from the fort, and the pedals and crossbows were burned, and then the Xianbei cavalry who rushed in wanted to save something, but suddenly found that it was not good, and wanted to withdraw, but was torn by a huge force, and the broken corpses flew into the sky with masonry.

Chu Daxing was secretly frightened, those black jars sent by the Iron Gate of the Heart Dao were really so powerful? No wonder the battalion commander said harshly, even if it was too late to burn the pedals and crossbows, those jars had to be set on fire. It's just that how can these jars be so powerful that they can destroy the entire fort? It's like a thunderbolt, and it hurts people's ears. Just now, I almost couldn't hold back my chanting of the Buddha's horn and howled.

The Xianbei cavalry, who had already taken the fort at the front and were ready to use it as cover, found that they were wrong, because after retreating, the Jin army not only burned the pedals and crossbows that the Xianbei people could not replicate at present, but also blew up the fort, and most importantly, the war horses were frightened.

The successive huge explosions frightened the war horses that had already burst in, and many cavalry fell from their horses in a panic, and the already crowded area instantly became even more crowded, and the stampede of large areas instantly killed dozens of cavalrymen. At this time, there was a bang in the fort behind, and arrows like flying locusts were spilled down, and the Dada tribe had no choice but to retreat, but the retreat was blocked, so the casualties were heavy.

An hour later, the Dadabe, leaving behind more than 400 corpses, began to retreat.

The Jin army at Wangshan Fort suffered casualties, one hundred and thirteen weavers, and now there are one hundred and two wounded. Before all the soldiers of one fort could withdraw, they were caught up by the Dada cavalry and blocked in the fort, and finally the soldiers and Xianbei people were blown up along with the fort.

The battalion commander gathered the rest of the men together and made another deployment, and then a dozen men came out and placed the black jars everywhere according to the instructions of a young man, and placed what was called a lead.

The boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and because of the muscles all over his body, although he was baby-faced, he might be older in real age, and he was called Xiao Cao by the battalion commander.

Chu Daxing glanced at the young man named Xiao Cao twice, frowned, and did not speak.

This young man is not an ordinary sergeant, judging from his walking spirit and his rough hands, he is a practitioner, Chu Daxing estimated that even if his leg is not lame, I am afraid he is not an opponent.

The people in the fort were not familiar with him, and his eyes were also cold, Chu Daxing was accidentally glanced back by him, his body was cold, and then he hunched over and walked to where he should be.

When the young man saw Chu Daxing gone, he sat far away on the steps of the fort, holding a slender branch and writing on a piece of paper.

Can you write when the branches are sharpened, and the smooth paper won't be pierced?

An hour later, Xiao Cao carefully put away the paper and branches, put them in his armor, and then stood up and said something to the battalion commander, who rubbed his arm, which was sore from the frequent opening of the bow, and called everyone to be on guard.

The second attack of the Dada Ministry came again

********

Xie Shence, Li Yan and others galloped on the grassland, but the serious shortage of war horses greatly limited their speed, and in front of them were more than twenty Xianbei scouts.

King Li Yan pulled the bow and arrow that was not suitable for his strength, his eyes were cold, he estimated the distance, pulled out a feather arrow with his backhand, and then buckled the string and raised the bow and then released his fingers, Xie Shence counted twice in his heart, and a Xianbei scout in front seemed to wave the knife backwards, but the next moment the scout rolled off the horse, and was dragged by the war horse for a long distance before he died completely.

Nineteen remaining

Since Xie Shence decided to go west, it was inevitable that the scouts of the Xianbei people found their traces, along the way, with the cooperation of Uncle Lou, two small groups of Xianbei scouts have been destroyed, none of them are missing, but this group of scouts, the vigilance of the character is high, not only avoided the trap set by Xie Shence several times, but also became suspicious, and quickly retreated.

So there was a previous scene, fleeing and chasing, and King Li Yan slowly harvested with arrows.

The scouts of the Yuwen Department were not like the Tuoba Department or the Northwest Army, which used battalions and teams as reconnaissance units, and often had one or two hundred or even four or five hundred people, but they preferred to search in flexible and delicate squads. In wartime, they are generally separated by 20 miles, and they are sprinkled out in batches in a fan-shape, one round every three hours, once every two days, which is very fixed, and they cooperate very closely with each other, and the transmission of news is also rapid.

However, this also has one of the most obvious drawbacks, that is, there are few people, and it is easy to become a target for a large number of Jin army scouts.

Just like at this time, the scouts of the Yuwen Department, who had already stretched out their tentacles a hundred miles away, were harvested by Xie Shence unhurriedly in two batches, and the third batch was being harvested.

"Childe, in a quarter or two of hours, these people will be able to enter the middle circle of the Yuwen Ministry's search, where there is a greater chance of being discovered, and it is likely to attract a large number of Yuwen scouts"

Xiao Wang said carefully, observing Xie Shence's expression while talking, if Xie Shence was a little impatient or annoyed, Xiao Wang made up his mind, and in the future, even if he was dead and brought to the grave, he would not say a word more.

"I know, so, we need to kill them before they enter the search range of the Yuwen Ministry."

Xiao Wang nodded, and then said, "I'll do this." ”

Xie Shence was surprised, and Xiao Wang said, "I need a bow and arrows." ”

"And?"

"Childe, your trust."

"How to guarantee trust?"

"You can just swear."

Xie Shence was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Just an oath to fool people and ghosts can be exchanged for the shot of an instructor of Erliren, no matter how you look at it, he earned it.
