209, Hellfire
Dusk fell, and the remnant sun was like blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Zheng stood at the head of the city with his eyes closed, surrounded by rows of wooden men with shields tied, which had long been prepared to confuse the enemy. And the real fighters had already entered the tunnel half an hour ago and evacuated.
They must have met with the people waiting outside by now...... Wu Zheng thought to himself.
Although the Tangut people were frightened by their own firearms, Wu Zheng didn't think that the other party had given up like this. Although the ancients were limited by the times, their wisdom should not be underestimated, and many exquisite buildings and technologies that shook the past and the present were all made by the ancients, and even until modern times, there are still many unsolved mysteries waiting to be solved.
Ren Jingde, Ye Liduluo, Li Qianshun...... If they weren't trapped here by mistake, how would they have the opportunity to compete with these historical celebrities on the same stage, and perhaps they should be honored for this......
Shaking his head, Wu Zheng felt that he was thinking a little too far, now is the moment of life and death, this is a death game for you and me, and you must go all out!
"General! The Tanguts are coming! Wang Zhiping's voice suddenly sounded overhead, Wu Zheng nodded, and cut the rope that held the hot air balloon in place, making the hot air balloon fly higher.
Unexpectedly, the imaginary tide of soldiers did not appear, but instead there were three slow-moving wooden catapults, the soldiers pushing the catapults shouting a unified slogan, and the heavy iron-clad wooden wheels carved deep trenches in the gravel pavement. The setting sun shines on the erected wooden frame, as if painted with a layer of bright red paint.
Finally thought of using siege weapons? Wu Zheng took a deep breath, he thought that the Xixia people might use the crowd tactics a few times before they would consider using this siege equipment, but they didn't expect that after suffering a loss, they would already learn to be smart.
When he saw that the catapult was parked more than a dozen steps away from the stone pile that represented the farthest range, Wu Zheng secretly sighed that it was a pity, Gangzi's fiery arrow seemed to be useless, but he didn't expect the Xixia people to find out the range of fiery arrows so quickly, which was another place that Wu Zheng secretly admired.
"Crunch, crunch......"
The arm-thick noose pulled the wooden frame and slowly fell, and four or five strong men carried a boulder into the wooden basket of the catapult, and with an order, the winch was suddenly released, and the wooden frame bounced violently, and the boulder flew towards the wall of the black-clothed army in a roar!
Wu Zheng's gaze followed the boulder to a place far behind him, where the boulder had smashed a deep pit of earth, and the power was amazing. Two other catapults fired boulders as well, but neither of them hit the walls.
Looking at the boulder pit that was getting closer and closer to him, Wu Zheng knew that the Xixia people were actually groping for throwing stones at themselves, and they could not accurately locate them without accurate measuring tools, so they could only use this method to test the attack distance little by little, although the method was a little backward, but in the end they were still able to find the most suitable attack distance.
It seems that there is not much time left for yourself!
Wu Zheng beckoned to the hot air balloon in the sky, making sure that the people above had seen it, and then jumped down from the high city. As soon as he fell to the ground, he heard a loud noise behind him, countless gravel fell from the sky, Wu Zheng didn't look back, he walked all the way, he knew in his heart that it must have hit the city just now.
By this time, the sun had set, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Wu Zheng raised his head, and the hot air balloon had floated to the designated position under Wang Zhiping's control -- next to a poplar tree about ten zhang high, this poplar tree is the tallest tree in the Tibetan military building, and is respected by everyone as "Grandpa Tree".
That's how the plan was made...... But accidents happen.
At the same time as Wu Zheng boarded the hot air balloon, a breach finally appeared in the city wall under the fierce attack of catapults, and then a large number of Western Xia troops poured in from here.
When the leading soldier saw the wooden man used for disguise, he let out a roar of rage, knowing that he had just been deceived by this clumsy method. He looked up and saw the strange flying object rising from beside a surprisingly tall tree, and his heart immediately understood.
"Wu Zheng!" Enraged, Ye Liduro roared into the sky in a stiff Mandarin, and then snatched a bow and arrow from the side and shot it hard, but unfortunately the flying object flew higher and higher, and the arrow was no longer out of reach.
Wu Zheng stood in the hanging basket under the hot air balloon, smiling and waving his arms downward: "Goodbye, don't miss me!" Suddenly, his smile froze, and then his face darkened, and he jumped out of the hanging basket!
Wang Zhiping and Gangzi on the side were so frightened by Wu Zheng's actions that their hearts were about to jump out, you must know that the height of the hot air balloon is close to twenty zhang now, and ordinary people will definitely die if they jump down! But when they saw the rope holding the hot air balloon hanging out of the hanging basket, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly leaned out and looked down. I saw that Wu Zheng had already fallen to the ground along the rope and rushed in one direction in the dark!
What exactly is General Wu going to do? The hearts of the two people were full of doubts, Wang Zhiping, who had the best eyesight, was the first to find the clue, he pointed to a petite figure in the distance who was fighting with the Western Xia soldiers, and said in a lost voice: "That person...... It seems to be Mrs. Wu! Gangzi was stunned for a moment and shouted: "General Wu must have gone to save people, quick!" Reduce the flames, lest they fly too high, General Wu, and they won't be able to come up! ”
While Wang Zhiping was trying to reduce the flames under the big cloth bag, he secretly wondered, hadn't this Mrs. Wu already evacuated with the people? Why is it here?
Also incomprehensible is the anxious Wu Zheng, he has told Ding Yueming again and again, don't worry about yourself, but this stupid girl is obviously not at ease with her assurance, she must have secretly stayed while others were unprepared.
The long sword in his hand swung rapidly, and the Western Xia soldiers who were blocking in front of Wu Zheng could barely catch his move, but the number of them increased. Looking from here, there were more than a dozen enemies around Ding Yueming than before, and it was obvious that the other party had discovered the two of them.
"Take down Wu Zheng! Take down Wu Zheng! Ye Liduro shouted behind him with ecstasy, and then saw that the soldiers in front of him were almost densely gathered, and some had already erected shields, and they seemed to form a human wall! Wu Zheng snorted coldly, his body suddenly jumped up a foot high, his feet stepped on the top of the heads of those soldiers and moved quickly in the direction of Ding Yueming, occasionally someone waved a knife and gun from below in an attempt to slash and stab Wu Zheng's legs and feet, but he was thrilling and skillfully defused.
"Silly girl!"
Ding Yueming, who was fighting hard, heard the familiar voice behind her, and her heart was surprised and happy, she turned around and shouted, "Husband! I am here! Then a black-clothed boy fell behind her, and at the same time took out a Western Xia soldier who slashed at him with a knife.
Grabbing Ding Yueming's wrist, Wu Zheng said in a low voice: "Hurry up!" With that, the two broke through in the direction of the hot air balloon. The field of vision was almost full of the figures of Western Xia soldiers, and the sound of the enemy shouting and killing was in his ears. Dodging the spears that stabbed diagonally and blocking the oncoming scimitars, the two of them always maintained a high speed of movement.
Ding Yueming's martial arts are extraordinary, Wu Zheng is a collection of several peerless martial arts, although the number of enemy troops in front of him is amazing, but still unable to stop this young couple, even if Ye Liduluo organized several human walls on their way, but it is useless in front of the two people with light skills.
Entering the range of Gangzi's fiery arrows, the road was even smoother, and with an explosion, Wu Zheng and Ding Yueming quickly broke through the siege and came to the hot air balloon, Wang Zhiping immediately hung down the rope, and the two of them safely boarded the hanging basket.
"Not next time! No, there is no next time! Wu Zheng hugged Ding Yueming and said in a serious tone. The woman in her arms let out a well-behaved "um" and leaned over tightly.
Looking at Ye Liduluo and his soldiers on the ground, who were angry and scolding, Wu Zheng patted Gangzi on the shoulder: "Lend me your bow and arrows." Gangzi respectfully handed over the bow and arrows and reminded: "General, it's too high here, it's still dark, and the wind is strong, so it's hard for the bow and arrow to hit the target......
Igniting the gunpowder fuse tied to the arrow, Wu Zheng pulled his bow open.
"I know ......"
A system prompt that I hadn't seen for a long time appeared in the field of vision: [Lucky Tip used successfully. 】
Letting go of his hand, the arrow crossed a dazzling trajectory in the dark night sky, and in Gangzi's stunned expression, it shot exactly on a huge wooden plaque in the center of the square of the Tibetan Military Building.
Ye Liduro's gaze moved to the wooden sign as the glowing arrow, and his pupils shrank suddenly......
"The Great General of Western Xia, Ye Liduluo, is buried here!" The wooden plaque was engraved with such words, followed by a series of loud noises, the explosion of dirt bags on the ground one after another, the fire and smoke, the broken limbs and wails, and the entire Tibetan military building seemed to be a hell of fire.
"Alright, this time we can leave in peace!" Wu Zheng threw the bow and arrow back to Gangzi, who had not yet recovered from the shock. Holding the hanging basket, he looked at the stars in the night sky, and said in his heart: "Dahua, I'm back!" ”
