Chapter 128: Lu Xun's Fire Attack
On the Yellow Sea, the wind was fierce and the rain was pouring down, and soon after the 2,500 ships of the Fubo Army went to sea, they encountered a hurricane, and hundreds of ships were affected, and many sailors and soldiers were swept into the sea by the wind and waves.
The maritime navigation characteristics of Zheng He and Zheng Zhilong were effective in reducing the damage caused by hurricanes.
However, the sea kamikaze was extremely destructive, and the Spanish armada, the Dutch sea coachman, could not compete with the hurricane.
Zheng Zhilong was wearing a robe, his armor was wet by the wind and waves, and he scolded: "What the hell, as soon as I went to sea, I encountered a storm, and this is the consequence of going to sea without looking at the yellow calendar." ”
The more than 40-meter-long Dafu ship tilted due to wind and waves, and Zheng Zhilong almost fell into the sea.
Zheng Zhilong grabbed the hemp rope tied to the mast, and then stopped his figure.
Xu Sheng, the general of the Naval Division, had rarely seen such bad weather, and he entered the cabin of the Dafu Ship and said to Zheng He, who was currently serving as the Metropolitan Governor: "Metropolitan Governor, this kind of weather is simply impossible to fight with the Jiangdong Naval Division. ”
Zheng He held a bronze lamp, spread out the navigation chart in the constantly shaking cabin, and pointed to an island in the nearby seas: "Chenjiadao has a small team of soldiers and horses of our Fubo Army, temporarily avoiding the wind and waves on Chenjiadao. ”
"Go to Chenjia Island!"
The fleet of the Fubo Army sailed towards Chenjia Island to avoid the wind and waves.
"Heavy rain is coming."
In Xihai County, the guard Geng Gong looked at the hazy sea, and the heavy rain affected not only Donglai County, but also Langya Country.
Rumble!
A boulder hits the tower, which collapses, the stone cracks, and the defenders on the walls have to avoid the rubble.
The Beifu army used a large number of trebuchets to bombard Xihai County.
The number of bed crossbows used by the Beifu army was as high as 700, and the dense crossbow arrows covered the city walls, and one of the wooden arrow towers was filled with 200 crossbow arrows, which was completely destroyed!
Geng Gong braved the ferocious offensive of the Beifu army and led his troops to defend desperately.
Xie Xuan, Liu Gaozhi, Sun Wuzhong, Huan Wen, Zu Ti and other famous generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty supervised the battle under the city, and the offensive of the Beifu army continued.
"General, let me go to this city first!"
Liu Gaozhi's physique was majestic and asked Xie Xuan for his life.
"Wait for the bed crossbow to completely destroy the arrow tower? Storm the city again. ”
Xie Xuan used seven hundred bed crossbows? Thousands of giant crossbow arrows, almost destroying all the arrow towers in Xihai County? Arrows rained down.
"The Lord Commander Sailor went to find the Fubo Army for a decisive battle? But in this way, it seems that perhaps the lord encountered a storm on the way. ”
Xie Xuan is also half a sailor general? He saw dark clouds on the sea and deduced that both large fleets had encountered a storm at sea.
Junan Mountain Road? Mulan, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu and Lu Xun's Shanyue Legion had an encounter? Jianyan crossbowmen fired 10,000 arrows in unison, shooting and killing Shanyue soldiers, and more than 200 elite Danyang soldiers were killed.
However, Lu Xun pretended to retreat? When the foot soldier is chasing and killing? The small group of soldiers and horses left by Lu Xun made a big move to attack with fire, so that Mu Guiying, who was at the forefront of the breakthrough, fell into a sea of fire!
Lu Xun's trait "Burning Company Camp" has an effect, greatly increasing the damage of fire attacks, and the fire spreads rapidly? Almost swept the ten-mile mountain road!
"We fell into an ambush by the Wu army, and they used fire to attack!"
Thousands of advancing foot soldiers saw the fire on the mountain road? Black smoke billowed out, and generals such as Pan Zhang and Zu Lang led the Wu army to counterattack? Immediately understood that Lu Xun's previous retreat was his intention!
The firelight was reflected on Mu Guiying's face? Her expression never relaxed: "Lu Xun prepared hay, rags and fire oil in advance?" Once the battle is unfavorable? They will set fires depending on the direction of the wind...... It's just that such a fire is too terrible, so let's withdraw our troops! ”
Mu Guiying wanted to retreat, but Lu Xun ordered the generals to chase after him, killing thousands of soldiers with the help of fire.
The defense of the infantry armor is amazing, and the price paid is a decrease in speed, an increase in physical exertion, and when encountering a fire attack, the infantry armor soldiers suffer heavy losses.
"You stand back, I'll cut off the back myself!"
Mu Guiying saw that the Danyang soldiers were running like flying in the hills, immune to some burn damage, but the infantry soldiers suffered a lot of losses, so he personally broke off the rear and blocked the Wu army to buy time for the elite heavy infantry under his command to withdraw.
The Danyang soldiers holding swords and shields killed, Mu Guiying picked up a Danyang soldier with one shot, swept the spear, and defeated more than a dozen Danyang soldiers with the strength it contained!
Mu Guiying's strength is not low, second only to the Five Tiger Generals.
"We are willing to advance and retreat together with the general!"
There were about 500 infantry infantry in the rear, which remained in the rear with Mu Guiying.
"Lord Mulan, General Mu Guiying is besieged by the Wu army!"
The terrain of Junan Mountain Road is narrow, and Mu Guiying is the vanguard, but at this time he is in a sea of fire and is in a dilemma.
"Mu Guiying is my general, and he must be rescued! If something happens to me, Liang Hongyu will be the main general! ”
When Mulan heard that Mu Guiying was under siege, she immediately led the Iron Eagle scouts to rescue her.
"We're ready to pick up Lord Mulan!"
Liang Hongyu was an archer, not a cavalryman, and when she reacted, Mulan had already led the cavalry away.
Junan Mountain Road was a sea of fire, burning the mountains and forests, Mu Guiying killed two hundred Shanyue soldiers and Danyang soldiers in a row, fought bloodily, and the battle armor was broken.
The soldiers around her died one after another, and there were less than a hundred left!
"This person must be the general of the Xia Army, take it down!"
Pan Zhang, a subordinate under Lu Xun, saw that Mu Guiying was in the sea of fire, and with his own strength, he stabbed two hundred soldiers, and the elite Danyang soldiers were also easily killed by Mu Guiying, knowing that Mu Guiying was very likely to be the general of the Xia army.
If Mu Guiying can be captured alive, it will lower the morale of the women's army.
"He doesn't look bad, whoever captures this person alive will be rewarded with five hundred silver!"
Zu Lang, the leader of Shanyue, held the ghost-headed big knife, and when he saw it, he wanted to capture Mu Guiying alive for his own use.
There are few female generals with higher force, and it is just that Chutian has more forces.
"How can you be captured alive so easily!"
Mu Guiying's spear swept in all directions, but all the Shanyue soldiers who were close to her were all killed by Mu Guiying in seconds!
Only the elite Danyang soldiers may be able to hold out for two or three rounds under Mu Guiying's attack.
"Chief, are we going to use crossbow arrows?"
The Shanyue crossbowmen under Zu Lang's command asked Zu Lang for instructions.
No matter how high the force is, the generals are also afraid of cold arrows.
"It's a pity to be such a beauty."
Zu Lang couldn't help but hesitate.
He even considered plundering Mu Guiying back to Jiangdong and using him as the wife of the Shanyue tribe.
"Zu Lang, this is a war, not a robbery, kill her for me!"
Pan Zhang, the general of the Wu army, did not show mercy, but ordered a row of Danyang crossbowmen to aim at Mu Guiying, and dozens of divine arm bows fired at Mu Guiying!
The pear flower spear swirled in Mu Guiying's hand, and the flames around it were swaying under the influence of the strong wind, and dozens of arrows were knocked away!
Only one crossbow bolt submerged into Mu Guiying's armor, and was blocked by layers of armor-piercing iron plates.
"Go on!"
Unlike a group of short-sighted Shanyue leaders, Pan Zhang thought about the same thing as Lu Xun, the first thing he did was how to win, rather than capturing Mu Guiying alive.
"Let me kill him!"
Another general, Ling Cao, holding a big sword, led the cavalry to assault Mu Guiying, who had been exhausted.
The cold light bloomed, and Ling Cao's big knife slashed at Mu Guiying's pear flower gun, and the sharp blade left a visible knife mark on the barrel of the pear flower gun!
Mu Guiying wanted to fight back, but her arms trembled violently, and her physical strength had been exhausted in the battle with the Danyang soldiers and the Shanyue army.
When physical strength declines, the decline is accompanied by force.
When Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was also exhausted.
"No matter how high your force is, it will end here!"
The big knife in Ling Cao's hand was raised high again, slashing towards Mu Guiying!
Ling Cao's attacks opened and closed, and Mu Guiying used her last strength to block Ling Cao's every attack.
The Danyang cavalry also followed Ling Cao to attack, and the two sides fought in the sea of fire!
With a stirrup, a Tang knife struck Ling Cao's big knife, and Mulan killed from the rear and repelled Ling Cao with one sword!
"Withdraw your troops and retreat to the Shuhe Plain!"
Hua Mulan turned her back to Mu Guiying.
"Let's get out together!"
"Good!"
Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying joined forces and fought and left.
"The way back is broken, and they have no way back."
Lu Xun wore green clothes, stood on a hill, and saw that the fire had spread for more than ten miles, and Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying were deeply trapped in the sea of fire, and deduced that this Xia army, which was still stranded in the sea of fire, had almost no way to retreat, and the whole army would be wiped out.
Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying broke through in the sea of fire, and the back road was swallowed by the sea of fire, and their group was trapped in the mountain road, surrounded by fire.
The horror of the fire made the Wu army stop pursuing, and they did not dare to go deep into the sea of fire.
"Xianggong and Xuan'er ......"
Mulan's pretty face was blackened by the thick smoke, and she was a little unwilling to think of Chu Tian and her only daughter Chu Xuan.
If there is no miracle, then they will definitely die in a desperate situation.
"Lord Mulan, look at the sky!"
Mulan was reminded and suddenly looked at the sky, only to see dark clouds and silver light snakes!
The mountain wind is howling, the heavy rain of Langya Country is coming, and the rain curtain floods the mountains of Langya Country, dousing the fire caused by the fire god Lu Xun!
"Is it the luck of the Xianggong?"
Hua Mulan heard that Chu Tian had obtained a trait of bad luck against the sky, "Son of the Plane".
At this time, it rained heavily, and Mulan, who was in a desperate situation, got out of trouble, so that Mulan had to suspect that Chutian's characteristics played a role.
But Mulan is also uncertain, because the "son of the plane" is a metaphysical trait.
Mulan shook her head: "Let's go!" ”
The war horses galloped on the muddy mountain road, and the surviving Xia army was successfully withdrawn, and the other Xia soldiers and horses who were besieged by the fire were also rescued and broke out of the encirclement.
Lu Xun's face was pale, and his whole body was drenched in heavy rain.
Jiangdong General He Qi said to Lu Xun: "My lord, this small group of Xia troops is too lucky, so they let them escape." At this time, it is raining heavily and the mountain roads are muddy, so it is better to withdraw the troops for the time being, and then try to forge ahead after the heavy rain. ”
Lu Xun sighed faintly: "Thousands of soldiers and horses, just go." It's just that the time is right, and the luck is also, I'm afraid that the sky will help Xia and not Wu. ”
The Shanyue Army collected its troops, and the mountain road first suffered a fire, and then a torrential rain, and it was a mess.
"Danyang soldiers, 900 killed, Shanyue soldiers, 2,000 killed."
Lu Xun camped at a high place and counted the losses in the battle of Junan Mountain Road.
Compared to the Shanyue Army, which had more than 100,000 people, this loss was nothing.
It's just that there is heavy rain in the mountains, and I am afraid that there will be losses.
