Chapter 453: Fight Again

Lu Kai couldn't understand that he had already arranged a guard, how could he still be killed by the enemy.

In fact, the matter is very simple, Lu Kai has arranged a vigilance, but he can't guarantee that these soldiers are not lazy. After a day of fierce fighting, seeing that victory was in sight, he was burned by the heavenly fire that fell from the sky, and fled in embarrassment, which was a serious blow to the morale of the Wu soldiers. Although these people escaped, the fire at the Emperor Girl Lake remained in their memories, and the figures of their companions struggling in the flames, and the wails when they were burned by the fire, tormented their nerves all the time. Even when they left the Imperial Lake, the flames that twisted out like dragons and snakes still gave them a chill to their bones.

They were relieved to finally get back to safety, but they were then sent to the shore to work as a sentry in the woods, which made their nerves tense again. This is the territory of the barbarians, they are not familiar with the terrain, not only may they be attacked by the barbarians, but there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests, any of which may make them deadly. Performing a task in such a situation, their nervous tension can be imagined.

When suffering unbearable pain, people will faint, and when a person's psychological pressure is too great to bear, many people will also choose to escape and choose to be an ostrich who deceives themselves. This is a self-protective instinct, which can be suppressed to a certain extent after training, but it is only a minority that can overcome the instinct.

Most of the Wu army scouts obviously did not have such strength, and many of them went ashore. I found a safe place to hide, and lost the role of a secret sentinel.

Even if they stick to their posts, they may not be of much use. On the territory of the Yuanxi tribe, it was necessary to fight at night with the barbarians whose morale was high, and the Wu army that came from afar did not have any advantage. What's more, the barbarians also have the help of the divine dogs, long before Wu Jun found the barbarians, the divine dogs could smell their scent, and then, either the divine dogs lurked and bit off Wu Jun's throat, or the barbarians quietly touched them. A knife cut off Wu Jun's neck.

Under the leadership of Heisha and others. Wei Ba barely had much effort to touch the edge of Wu's camp. At that time, Lu Kai hadn't even rested, with tall warships, flying battle flags, and figures coming and going. Exposed Lu Kai's location.

Wei Ba waited patiently until Lu Kai finished arranging the defense. Return to the cabin to rest. before the attack was ordered. He gave Wang Shuang a task: use your four-stone bow to seal Lu Kai in his cockpit, if you can shoot it with one arrow, of course, it will be great.

Yuanshui is about 100 paces wide. Lu Kai's ship was a little southerly in the middle, about seventy paces from the north shore, and Wang Shuang's four-stone bow had a range of one hundred and sixty paces, a distance that was not a problem for him at all. In order to be able to kill with one blow, Wang Shuang also used poison on the arrow, seeing the poison of the blood sealing the throat.

Lu Kai was suppressed in the cabin by Wang Shuang in this way, and he couldn't get out of the cabin for a while. At this time, Wei Ba gave the order for an all-out attack.

Lu Kai's vigilance played a very big role, the cottage of the Yuanxi tribe was on the north bank of Yuanshui, and he camped on the south bank of Yuanshui, and the nearest warship from the shore was thirty paces, and seventy or eighty steps away. Wei Ba pursued, there was no warship, in this case, swimming in the water to rush to the ferry was simply looking for death, and the Wu army on the warship could easily spot them, and then shoot them effortlessly. What's more, although the Wu army was defeated, the overall number of people still far exceeded the personal guard battalion he led, and it was never a wise idea to face to face.

Wei Ba opted for a long-range attack.

Wei Ba asked the barbarians to choose higher terrain, hide behind trees and rocks, and condescendingly threw the oil canisters they brought to the Wu army's warships. The number of oil tanks was not large, so Wei Ba asked them to target Lu Kai's warship and concentrate on attacking Lu Kai's warship, and when one oil tank smashed open on the deck and the oil flowed everywhere, someone shot rockets.

The rocket roared and struck deep into the deck, igniting the oil at once, and the fire rose into the air, illuminating Wu Jun's panicked figure. With these fires, the barbarians pulled their newly-arrived crossbows, pulled the crossbow machine, released the crossbows, and shot sharp arrows. Sharp arrows flew across the river, through the flames, and shot at the Wu army who had just woken up.

Wu Jun had just fallen asleep when he was attacked again, and he was in a panic for a while. What's more, Lu Kai's warship was fiercely attacked, the flames rose, and the screams came one after another, and one after another the soldiers fell into the water with arrows, some of them covered in fire, and let out miserable screams, and ran around on the deck until they plunged headlong into the water, causing a splash to the sky.

The soldiers on duty on the deck were hit with the most violent blows, more than a hundred bows and crossbows, and a dense rain of arrows were fired, which caught them by surprise. In a matter of moments, most of the soldiers were struck by arrows, and the rest were terrified, and the unbridled fire oil on the deck illuminated their terrified eyes.

Despite the attack, the Wu army reacted quickly, and the ships quickly organized a counterattack, while using drums to ask LĂź Kai for further orders. However, Lu Kai was blocked in the cabin at the moment, and he couldn't give orders at all. He had been fighting in Jiaozhou for many years, and it was easy to find the abnormalities on those arrows, and it took him a long time to move the three guards away and make way out of the cabin.

During this time, his handsome ship was already on fire, and the flames burned the ropes on the mast like a fiery snake winding up, quickly igniting his battle flag. By the time Lu Kai finally stood on the deck under the protection of his guards, his battle flag had been burned to the half, the rope had been burned, and the burning battle flag was like a piece of ashes, slowly falling from the air.

There was chaos on the deck, there was fire everywhere, blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, and it was terrible.

Lu Kai was shocked and angry. He didn't expect the enemy to be so vicious that he would catch up again. He didn't expect the enemy to be so strong, and his arrangement of haode vigilance had no effect at all, and he was easily touched by the enemy. He didn't expect the enemy to be so fierce, and he directly set fire to his warship from a distance of sixty or seventy paces.

To his dismay, a strong archer was hiding on the shore, shooting at him one after another of bloody poisonous arrows. The opponent's bow was so strong that the poisoned arrow flew a distance of sixty or seventy paces, and was still able to break through the shield and shoot through the iron armor of the guards.

In a short period of time when he was stunned, two more guards were shot by poisoned arrows and fell to the ground in pain, stopping to breathe.

The invisible enemy was the most terrifying, and this strong archer seriously dampened Lu Kai's self-confidence, and he did not dare to stay on his handsome ship any longer. The fire here is too big to be recovered, and more importantly, the fire exposes him to the enemy's sight, and he could die at any time.

Lu Kai's face was pale, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his expression was hideous and terrifying. He had never experienced such a crushing defeat since joining the army. What drove him even more crazy was that so far, he didn't know who his enemies were.

He didn't believe that Heisha, the sperm of the Yuanxi tribe, would have such a scheming.

Although Lu Kai was angry, he did not lose his mind, he quickly moved to a medium-sized warship next to him, re-hoisted his battle flag, and ordered the whole army to counterattack. Under the command of the war drums, knowing that the main general Lu Kai was unharmed, the Wu army slowly regained its composure and counterattacked in an orderly manner. They used the crossbows on their ships to fire at the enemy on the shore, and sent foot soldiers to prepare to land and counterattack.

Lu Kai stood behind the guard, looking through the gap in the shield, looking at the arrows fired by the enemy on the hillside on the shore, secretly frightened. He could see that the number of enemies was not large, not more than two hundred, but the enemy's equipment was much larger than he expected. It can shoot a distance of sixty or seventy paces, and it still has enough lethality, which is not a weapon commonly used by barbarians, it can only be a standard weapon.

Did the barbarians use the captured Wu weapons to strengthen their strength, or did they have another group of enemies lurking in the shadows? The more Lu Kai thought about it, the more nervous he became, and he thought of Wei Ba. He received news that when Wei Ba escaped from Xiling, he had more than 150 guards with him. The Wei family soldiers had already made a name for themselves in the first battle of Xiangyang, and they were one of the few strong soldiers, and Wei Ba was a genius ordnance master, and it was entirely possible for them to be equipped with standard weapons with excellent performance.

The two sides fired across the river, and the Wu army gradually stabilized the situation by virtue of its numerical advantage. Under the command of Lu Kai, five warships marched in unison and sailed to the north shore, ready to land and stand up.

Where can Wei Ba let them land, the Wu army has the advantage in numbers, and once it falls into a positional battle, it will be very unfavorable to him. He immediately ordered the crossbowmen to block the attack, and at the same time ordered Wang Shuang and Heisha to hang it. Their armor was too heavy to always be worn on their bodies, so they were specially arranged for people to carry them. The positional battle was about to begin, and they immediately prepared.

Fifty soldiers of the Wu army who landed on the shore held their shields and went ashore cautiously, and just set up the vanguard, dozens of figures suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests, and the first two of them walked like flying, brandishing two long knives with strange shapes, and rushed towards them. They didn't know what they were wearing, and the arrows shot up and sparked, but they couldn't stop them.

This scene stunned Wu Jun.

Wang Shuang seized this opportunity, ran to the front of Wu Jun, shouted, and slashed head-on with the sound of the wind, cutting a Wu army spearman with a spear into two pieces. Heisha then arrived, and with a wave of his long knife, he easily cut off the arm of a Wu soldier.

Wu Jun was horrified, Wang Shuang and Heisha fought side by side, raising their swords and slashing several people in a row.

Fifty barbarians followed, slashing and slaughtering.

Wu Jun was frightened by the strength of Wang Shuang and Heisha, these two people could not cut through the knife, the arrow could not hit, but the long knife in their hands was extremely sharp, they would die if they touched it, they would die if they touched it, they would die if they touched it, they had no effective means of restraint at all, they were killed step by step, where did they still have the courage to fight. In a moment, more than 20 people were killed, and the rest screamed, turned and fled, threw themselves into the water, and made a splash.

Wang Shuang roared, jumped up, stepped on the gangplank and boarded a warship, slashing and killing, invincible.

The barbarians shouted to kill! (To be continued......)
