Chapter 3102, Resist the Rocket Attack Nearby
"Ready! Shoot! β
Although he didn't know that Zhu Shangde had planned to leave overnight, as a person who could win with wisdom among the many princes of Qin, the third prince Tu Gong would not let go of every good opportunity to attack.
After all, after using bows and arrows and traps to block the Qinzhou army in the Qingmin Plain, everyone knew that the soldiers of the Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Kingdom coalition would definitely be somewhat arrogant.
What's more, the third prince Tu Gong is also in a hurry to save face for his defeat, even if the third prince Tu Gong waits any longer, it is impossible to wait for a better opportunity to attack. Therefore, even though he didn't know that Zhu Shangde was ready to leave with the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo overnight, the third prince Tu Gong still let the Qinzhou army launch a rocket attack just after nightfall.
And seeing the sky rockets falling into the formation of the coalition forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Kingdom, Zhu Shangde, who was about to order the coalition soldiers to start preparing for retreat, also changed a little.
Because not to mention what kind of results the Third Prince Tu Gong could achieve by launching a rocket attack before the combined forces of Zhou Huai and Yulin Guo left, only from a tactical and strategic point of view, the Third Prince Tu Gong did seize a rare loophole in Zhu Shangde's troops.
After all, unlike the sparse vegetation in the Qingmin Plain, the situation of many trees outside the Qingmin Plain is indeed very suitable for rocket attacks.
Moreover, the third prince Tu Gong still chose to launch a rocket attack at night, which is also the easiest time to relax after late night and early morning.
However, relaxation is relaxation, and when Zhou Bingqian, the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo, was also shocked and his face changed, Zhu Shangde immediately ordered: "Hurry! Command everyone to immediately find cover nearby to resist the opponent's rocket attack, and extinguish the fire caused by the rocket as soon as possible. β
"No!"
When the herald ran down without hesitation. Seeing the coalition soldiers who were already a little confused, Zhou Bingqian finally reacted and said, "...... Resist rocket attacks nearby? Does Master Zhu think we can withstand this rocket attack? β
It's no wonder that Zhou Bingqian is nervous.
After all, the ruthlessness of water and fire is not only a truth that everyone knows, especially in the territory of Jiang Yuguo, there has only been a big flood in front of it, and compared with the defeat to the Qinzhou army, it may not be possible to survive, it is really defeated by things such as water and fire, even if Zhou Bingqian is the prince of Zhou Huaiguo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to preserve the corpse.
And although he was not surprised by Zhou Bingqian's nervousness, Zhu Shangde's face was grim with some indifference: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, as long as we don't panic ourselves, these rockets of the Qinzhou Army will not be able to ignite the mountains and forests behind our army at all, and the number of their rockets must be extremely limited." β
"Behind you?"
Hear Zhu Shangde's words. Luo Xiashi, who also wanted to flee, also turned around. Then he looked at the mountains and forests behind him, showing a sudden realization expression.
After all, in order to accumulate troops outside the Qingmin Plain, and even in order to catch up with enough simple bows and arrows, the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo can be said to have cut down all the trees near the camp.
Therefore, even if not all the mountains and forests have fallen behind the large camp of the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State, it is absolutely impossible for the rocket fired from the original entrance of Qingmin to directly ignite the mountains and forests around the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State.
Then the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Kingdom only need to extinguish the rockets that fell into the camp in time. The rocket attack of the Qinzhou army will naturally be self-defeating.
Otherwise, I really gave up putting out the fire and chose to flee. On the contrary, it is very likely that the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Kingdom will be caught up from behind by the fire that spread from the camp and burned to death.
Then reacted. And seeing that the rockets falling in the air quickly became sparse, Zhou Bingqian, the crown prince of Zhou Huaiguo, also said with a happy face: "Master Taishi is wise, otherwise this palace will really fall for the evil of the Qinzhou army." β
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled. β¦β¦ Because not to mention that the Qinzhou army did launch a good attack this time, our army now not only has to extinguish the fire caused by these rockets in time, but also has to beware of the question of whether the Qinzhou army will attack the camp at night. β
Although it is indeed a little early to say that it is not necessary to attack the camp now, Zhu Shangde did not really relax when he saw the fires in the camp burning and extinguishing one after another.
Because even if there is a trap to isolate the conflict between the two armies, but under the condition that the third prince Tu Cheng can find a counterattack strategy for rocket attack so quickly, Zhu Shangde is not sure whether the third prince Tu Cheng will have other followers.
It's just that unlike Zhu Shangde's caution, seeing that the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin not only did not choose to flee under the rocket attack, but even launched a timely rescue operation, not only the third prince Tu Ying, who was standing with those bow and arrow troops, had a look of disappointment on his face, but also had to guard the front of the formation with Gao Yan Tu Lei also said incredulously: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo could deal with rocket attacks in such an orderly manner, did they have expected that our army would use rocket attacks?" β
"It's not surprising! In other words, even if Zhu Shangde did not expect that our army would launch a rocket attack at this time, it is indeed impossible to make a big mistake with Zhu Shangde's experience and experience in terms of countermeasures alone. β
As the general of the Sixth Prince Tulei, why did Gao Shu also run to the front of the formation, to the back of the archery troops?
The reason is that if the rocket attack of the third prince Tu Gong is effective, even if it is impossible for the Qinzhou army to break through the trap set by the alliance forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State at night, it will make a posture of breaking out of the trap to drive the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State into the mountains and forests.
Because no matter how fast the combined forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin Guo ran, with the density of the nearby mountains and forests and the strength of the mountain winds, it was impossible for them to really escape the range of the fire.
It's a pity that Zhu Shangde not only did not fall for it, but under the influence of Zhu Shangde's prestige, those soldiers of the Zhou Huai State and the Yulin State coalition army also quickly calmed down after the initial chaos, which also made the Qinzhou army's deterrence plan no longer have any practical significance.
Because it is even more impossible to rush through the traps laid by the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin at night than to race against the wildfires at night.
Especially with the reaction speed of the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State, even Gao Shu believed that if the Qinzhou army got closer to the outside of Qingmin Plain, the bows and arrows and even rocket counterattacks of the allied forces of Zhou Huaiguo and Yulin State would definitely follow.
And also knowing the truth in it, the sixth prince Tu Lei also said with a regretful face: "Gao Shuru is right, but it's a pity that the number of bows and arrows in our army is too small, otherwise it will not be easy for them to extinguish the fire even if they want to." β
"What Your Highness said is very true, but it is a pity that although our army has strong bow troops in hand, it is not suitable to waste it in such a place."
Although the two are now talking about the rocket attack of the Third Prince Tu Gong, when they really think of the strong bow troops of the Middle Route Army that were protected by the Third Prince Tu Gong, Gao Shu had a look of jealousy in his eyes for the first time.
Because although Gao Xuan's ability is good, just as the sixth prince Tuti is not able to do anything about his own martial arts, the sixth prince Tuti also has an extreme lack of troops like the strong bow battalion that can stand alone.
Fortunately, the strongbow battalion could not play a role on such an occasion, and there was no need to continue to be indignant. (To be continued......)
