Chapter 109 It's arson again, killing horses to survive
At the last moment, the fire resumed
Huang An, who crossed the river from the stone bridge, saw the danger of the wolf rider and urgently ordered the archers to shoot rockets at the withered grass and reeds.
"Whoosh, whoosh"
Dozens of terrible sounds broke through the air, and dozens of rockets shot out at the same time, cutting a curved arc in the air, and falling headlong into the yellowing dead grass.
The terrain on the north and south banks of the Xiaoling River is gentle, overgrown with reeds and artemisia grass, and the top of the reeds is a little reed flower that ignites instantly, and it only takes a little spark to spread into a monstrous fire in an instant.
Before Jin Jun could react, dozens of fires had already burst into flames. The wind fueled the fire, and almost in the blink of an eye, a fire dragon appeared in front of Jin Jun with a hideous flame, swimming with teeth and claws, like a snowball, and the body of the fire dragon became longer and longer......
Hundreds of white flag gold soldiers were in the fire belt, the fire suddenly reappeared, caught off guard, and when they reacted, there were flames in front of and behind them, and the people and horses were panicked.
The rockets of the Ming army were fired everywhere, and soon, all around were a sea of fire, and the scorching flames burned in circles in all directions, and the golden soldiers had nowhere to go.
Some of the golden soldiers, who could not bear the heat, saw that the fire was only a few feet away in front of them, so they abandoned their horses, covered their mouths and noses, and ran to the opposite side, but unexpectedly, the wind blew, and the fire burned forward faster than their pace. Suddenly the golden soldiers howled like pigs, and then jumped and screamed, struggling and wailing in the fire, and their situation was quite terrifying.
The Jin army who stayed in the circle of fire called the heavens and the earth to be unwilling, and knelt on the ground one by one in despair, or howled and cried, or stretched out their hands to look up at the sky, chanting words in their mouths, or unwilling to be burned by the fire, and committed suicide with a knife in order to die a happy death. A few lucky people were so lucky that they were in danger of getting burned on their hands and faces, and jumped out of the fire, and then galloped forward without looking back.
…………
After the fire broke out, Huang An and Shao Wu were afraid that the fire was not big enough, so they led people to set fire everywhere along the riverbank, and the wind helped the fire, and soon, the smoke rose again.
Two thousand Changping soldiers who had never been on the battlefield set fire to it, and nearly half of the Changping soldiers took grass on the spot and made simple torches, which were scattered everywhere and kept setting fires.
Several Songshan veterans were promoted to the rank of Qian, and even led people to rush to the Jin army who were frightened by the fire, and took advantage of the chaos to slash and kill. killed and set fire, stirring up the Jin army, which was already frightened by the fire, into a pot of porridge.
The reeds and grass on the shore were trampled by the golden soldiers in the river, and they were splashed with water trails, and when the fire came, it was not like the dry grass that caught fire, but was baked into countless white smoke, and the smoke blew towards the north bank with the wind, and the vision within two miles was suddenly blurred, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The fire that burned again made the Jin army feel as if the sky had suddenly fallen, and no one cared about avenging the Khan, so they rushed north as fast as they could.
When the fire burned, Azig was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, and the Ming army was too inauthentic, he set fire to it before, and now he set it on fire again, except for arson, you will not do anything else
In his sight, he couldn't see the Khan King and the Golden Dragon Banner, Azig couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the Khan King didn't have anything to do, he saw that the fire was inviolable, so he abandoned the heavy armor of the Ming army and led the people to flee north, on the way, he caught a glimpse of his brother Dolgon was also running north in embarrassment, but he saw that there was not even half a braid on the back of his head.
The Jin army was really defeated this time, the Khan King was in danger, the Golden Dragon Banner retreated north, the Ming army set a fire, and the three accidental factors combined, the Jin army no longer had the courage to stay by the Xiaoling River, throwing away their armor and fleeing all the way north.
Looking from a high altitude, but seeing the Jin army running wildly all over the field, the banner armor was lost all the way, and a fire dragon that was several miles long was chasing after him.
…………
In the Xiaoling River, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides of the Ming and Jin sides, the corpses of the war horses, were stacked on top of each other, shocking, and the remaining thousands of Ming soldiers were covered in blood, but there was inexplicable excitement and excitement on everyone's faces.
"Jiannu is really defeated this time"
The white-haired Zhang Chun looked at the fire dragon burning towards the north in a daze, suddenly raised his right hand suddenly, and shouted: "The meritorious service is at this time, and the armies will kill the slaves with me."
"At this time, the armies will follow me to kill slaves"
Zhang Hongmo and Zhang Jifu rode their horses and rushed towards the north bank, and behind them, the shouts of thousands of Ming troops were deafening.
On the south bank, the shouts of the Ming army also sounded, but it was Wu Xiang, who had fled before, who saw that the army set fire, and the Jin army fled north, and hurriedly led more than 1,000 cavalry under his subordinates to collect the rout all the way and rushed over.
As long as there is that fire, we will win this battle
Wu Xiang, who was eager to atone for his sins and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make great contributions, couldn't wait to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to cross the Xiaoling River, jumped over the banner of the Chinese army, and killed the Daling River with a fire
Seeing that he set fire to the Jin army and fled north, Huang An and Jiang Wanli could not hide their excitement, looking at their own army had crossed the river to counterattack, and the Jin army had lost its armor and had not become an army, the two of them high-fived and laughed excitedly, and were about to lead their troops to counterattack with the army, but they both stopped, looked at each other with pale faces, and shouted in unison: "Not good, the general is also in the fire"
…………
After the fire broke out, a strange scene appeared - three hundred exhausted Ming troops stood there with their horses, watching in amazement as thousands of Jin troops fled from both sides of them.
The fire is burning all over the sky, and the flames will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.
Either flee north with the Jin army, or stay where you are and wait to die.
However, the war horse could no longer run, and with its two legs, it could not outrun the fire of the strong wind.
Almost all the soldiers thought that they were going to be killed in the fire this time, but there was a hurried shout from the general: "Kill the horse, kill the horse"
Without half a moment's hesitation, Shi Dayong personally cut off the belt of the horse's iron armor, and then cruelly wiped the long knife from the horse's neck.
The horse screamed in sorrow, and its hooves pouted in pain, and blood splashed from the horse's neck like a rainbow.
I'm sorry
Guilt flashed, Shi Dayong used all his strength to drag the mount to the ground, and then used a long knife to cut open the horse's belly, in the great pain of the war horse, the body rolled to the ground, rolled under the horse's belly, and let the horse's blood, stomach and intestines squirt onto his body.
The soldiers were shocked by the actions of the general, the war horse is the best friend of the cavalry, it can be said that those Songshan veterans have no less affection for the war horse than they do for their comrades in the army, they really can't bear to slaughter their own war horse. But no one could think of a better way to survive the fire.
"If you want to live, hurry up"
Blood. Shi Dayong, who had a bloody face, saw that his subordinates were still hesitating, but the fire burned immediately, and he was so anxious that he yelled. ()
