Chapter 198: Is This True?
The tall fat man pointed to the more than 300 Vulcan guards in the square, who were sitting quietly in place, not participating in the transportation of ammunition, and said, "What are they doing?" ”
Lao Qian explained: "They are setting up the 'Fire God Demon Punishment' array." Ω This formation is specially designed to deal with the opponent's masters. Once the Vulcan Great Array is powerful, even if the Tiangang master comes, he may not be able to please him. ”
Xie Bangui exclaimed: "This is the Zheng family's background that makes the Tang Sect feel jealous?" ”
"That's right!" Lao Qian said proudly: "The name of the Zheng family's god of fire is not for nothing. ”
Old Qian was triumphant, but the tall fat man poured a basin of cold water on him: "The Zheng family can block the Tang Gate, but it may not be able to block the iron weapon of the Black Fox King!" After all, Tangmen is just a combination of rivers and lakes, relying on personal force. The Black Fox King can crisscross the grassland, relying on 200,000 people who control the strings! Can the iron walls of Zhengjiabao withstand the group charge of the 200,000 army? And ......"
Gao Fatzi said: "Moreover, they have a reason why they must take Zhengjiabao." If they can control the emperor, they will have the capital to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Once the emperor successfully escapes from the predicament, the Black Fox King will be retaliated by the Ming Dynasty's madness. Therefore, he will attack Zhengjiabao at all costs. ”
"Wonderful!" As soon as the tall fat man finished speaking, there was a round of applause behind him.
Zhu Hengwei came slowly with whatever he wanted, and raised his hand to signal the tall fat man not to make a noise: "Since you have analyzed the situation of the enemy and the enemy, let's continue, I really want to hear your opinion." ”
"Yes!" Gao Fatzi agreed: "Now there are only two roads, one is guarded by the Zheng family, break through with all their might, and after retreating into the border town, change clothes and blend into the people, all the way to the west, as long as you enter the pass, everything will be fine." However, doing so would be tantamount to throwing all the people of the border city to the Black Fox King, and 80,000 innocent people would become their unjust souls. ”
The fat man looked at the emperor's face and said, "The second is to defend Zhengjiabao." Send the master out for help. Ten days, as long as it can hold out for ten days, the Ming border army will be able to defeat the Black Fox tribe in four fine cavalry, and if it is operated properly, it can even reverse the opponent and annihilate 200,000 Black Fox Cavalry. ”
Zhu Hengwei looked directly at the fat man and said, "I'll let you decide now, what will you do?" ”
The tall fat man resolutely said: "Wen is dead, and martial arts are fighting to the death." If you can't stand up in times of crisis, what else does the imperial court want us to do? ”
"Good, good, good ......" Zhu Hengwei said three good words in a row: "Are you from Jinshi?" It stands to reason that you are the only male in the Rongguo Mansion, even if you don't do anything, you will be a prince while lying down, why do you still take the martial arts test and be a secret arrester? ”
The tall fat man said: "My father said that there should be no few heroes, and if you want to do it, you will be a master." A manly husband should be a wife and a son with a knife and a gun. Relying on Lao Tzu is not a skill. ”
"Gao Tai is a good godson." Zhu Hengwei's approval was inevitably a little sour: "Xie Bangui, what about you?" Haven't you ever thought about taking the Jinshi exam and ranking in the court? ”
Xie Bangui smiled: "Although I am literate, I haven't read much. I can't do the things of the adults in the court. Wouldn't it be nice to be a secret catcher and be happy and revenge? When I am tired of wandering on the rivers and lakes, it is enough to find a place to live, do some small business, and raise a group of little dolls. ”
"Good idea." Zhu Hengwei also nodded, he didn't agree with Xie Bangui's idea but couldn't blame it. In his opinion, Xie Bangui and Gao Fat Man live in completely different environments, and it is not strange that Gao Fat Man has a plot of loyal ministers and good generals, and Xie Bangui's idea of living a small life is understandable. It's really strange if they swapped each other.
The small talk between the monarchs and ministers was not over, and there were ripples in the water bowl that the tall fat man casually placed on the head of the city, although the tall fat man was talking to the emperor, his eyes never left the water bowl, and when he saw the changes in the water waves, his face changed and said: "Come, old money, give the order to prepare for war." ”
"The children of the Zheng family are preparing for war!" Lao Qian raised his voice and said: "All men under the age of twelve have withdrawn into the secret passage. The rest of the people, fight to the death! ”
The children of the Zheng family rushed to the head of the city, sat down slowly with their firearms against the battlements in their hands, and waited for orders with the steel guns in their hands tightly.
It didn't take long for a wave of earth to break off on the horizon in the distance. From a distance, it looks like the white line that rises from the place where the heavens and the earth meet when the tsunami comes. It's just that one is in the sea and the other is on the ground.
A moment later, the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the vast land trembled violently in the galloping of thousands of horses, and the shock of the approaching army became clearer. The hearts of the children of the Zheng family are like the bowl of water placed on the head of the city, and as the horse's hooves overflow left and right, it seems to jump out of the cavity.
After a few moments, the black fox cavalry's snow-like steel knives were already revealing their hideousness, and from this moment on, it was no longer the rolling sand that filled the heavens and the earth, but thousands of scimitars shining with shimmering cold light. Like the silver waves on the horizon, they are overwhelmingly pressing towards Zhengjiabao.
At this moment, except for a very few people who could still be calm, even the palms of Lao Qian were oozing cold sweat.
Xie Bangui turned around and said, "Your Majesty, there is about to start a war here, please take refuge for the time being." ”
"No!" Zhu Hengwei said categorically: "I, there is the territory of the Ming Dynasty under my feet, and there are the people of the Ming Dynasty behind me. There are still my soldiers by my side, why should I be afraid? I will guard the country with my soldiers. ”
Suddenly, a fire chain rose up at the feet of the Black Fox Cavalry, and thousands of war horses and knights on the horses were lifted into the air. Before the horses could land, the raging flames of thick smoke and sand rushed into the non-stop military formation, sending the follow-up men and horses into the air.
The follow-up blade black fox iron horseman, seeing the vanguard in the Zheng family's pre-planted mines, the war horse stumbled, the military flag folded, and the soldiers were torn apart, without the slightest intention of staying, waving the horse and stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and continued to rush towards Zhengjiabao frantically.
Lao Qian pulled out two signal flags, one red and one green, waved left and right and roared: "Fire!" ”
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
The fort behind Zhengjiabao suddenly erupted wildly, and a pungent gunpowder smoke of sulfur rose from the whole back mountain from the beginning to the end at the same time, and countless red lights roared up and down the mountain. Craters filled with human horse corpses can be seen everywhere, and the thick bloody gas fills the vast wasteland, but the black fox iron rider rushes forward in formation in a shocking tragic scene, fearlessly riding forward.
"Silk-" Xie Bangui sucked in the cold air and said, "Aren't these people afraid of death?" It's not even a little scared to be like this? ”
"Hey, hey!" The fat man smiled proudly: "Brother, when it comes to catching ghosts and investigating cases, I am not as good as you." When it comes to marching and fighting, you are not as good as me. These Black Fox Cavalry must have drunk the Wizard's Divine Water. As soon as you drink that thing, people know how to charge, and even if you chop off their legs, they can kill them with their hands! ”
"Here we go again!"
After the Black Fox cavalry charged twice, the vanguard army was completely wounded and wounded, but it leveled the minefield outside Zhengjiabao. After several consecutive blows to the Zheng family's artillery, the chamber of the cannon was already hot, and if you want to reload and fight again, there will be a danger of exploding at any time.
The tall fat man grabbed Fang Tian's halberd, and Xie Bangui also pulled out the Miao knife from his waist, ready for a hand-to-hand fight.
Lao Qian waved his hand and said, "Wait, we still have something useless?" Just as Lao Qian waved his hand, the children of the Zheng family aimed a few catapults with wooden barrels at the Black Fox Cavalry.
"Put!" Lao Qian gave an order, and the children of the Zheng family pulled the hand brake, and the hundreds of wooden barrels piled up on the high slope of the back mountain were immediately bounced into the air. Boom rolled and smashed towards the Black Fox Cavalry. Seeing that the barrel was approaching, the Black Fox Cavalry waved his scimitar casually, and with a "bang" he picked the barrel into two sections, and the pale yellow liquid with a pungent smell in the barrel fell all over the ground and flowed down the hooves of the Black Fox Cavalry.
Before they could figure out what the pale yellow liquid was, countless wooden barrels smashed down from the sky with a whistling wind, and a few more flashes of swords flashed among the black fox cavalry, and the barrels were smashed into the air in unison, and the pale yellow liquid spilled down like a torrential rain. These are all high-purity fire oils made by the Zheng family, and they will be ignited as long as they are stained.
"Ignition!" Lao Qian gave an order, a rocket with a thick smoke billowing swallowtail fell into the black fox cavalry array, the raging fire "whew" from the toes of the black fox cavalry to the top of their heads, the smell of burnt human flesh rushed out along the flames, the black fox cavalry who was lit with a sky lantern rolled into a ball in the flames, through the firelight, you can clearly see countless humanoid fireballs running around, indiscriminately rushing against their comrades......
"Yours!" The tall fat man raised his hand between laughing: "Prepare the firecracker, hold the gun steady, aim, listen to my orders, stabilize the ......"
As soon as his words fell, he saw the black fox cavalry in the firelight suddenly change formation, step over the charred corpse, and rush madly towards the city.
"Fire!"
The tall fat man's palm sank violently, and the tongue of fire erupted from the thousands of fire guns connected into a wall of fire, and the black fox cavalry in the front row who had just stood firm was hit upside down by the laser flash of fire, and the blood-splattered corpse overwhelmed the comrades who rushed in behind him, and the army in the rear who had no time to regain momentum directly stepped on the crowd in front of him, and the armor weighing 100 catties was added, and the degree of sudden force rushed in, and directly stepped on the teammates under his feet to break their tendons and fractures, and blood sprayed wildly. In the distance, rows of firearms hit one after another, and figures who were blown away by bullets could be seen everywhere.
The bows and arrows in the hands of the black fox cavalry also fell to the city like a torrential rain, and the children of the Zheng family, who had no time to dodge, fell back and forth, and fell to the city either into the flames and no bones remained, or fell to the ground and shattered their bones, and the city wall was dyed with majestic blood in an instant.
However, the children of the Zheng family insisted on blocking the city with the fire gun in their hands.
In less than half a day, there were already a mountain of corpses outside Zhengjiabao, and the arrows and projectiles that landed were stacked together to be more than two inches thick. A bloody battle did not end until dusk, and before dawn, the two sides fought frantically again.
The life-and-death struggle lasted for three days, and all the things that could be used for long-range attacks and defense of the city were thrown into the battle, and the men and horses on both sides were constantly consumed with terror.
It was not until the early morning of the fourth day that the two sides had to temporarily cease fighting and recuperate.
Lao Qian walked into the hall of the Zheng family, which was already full of holes, with a worried face: "Fatty, the Zheng family's pills are consumed too quickly, and more than half of the children have been killed or injured. If this continues, Zhengjiabao will be breached in two days at most. I have discussed with the elders, and the Vulcan Guard will lead you to break through with all your might, and the rest of the Zheng family children will stay and fight with the Black Fox King to the end, giving you time to break through. ”
"Circling? What are you going to do? Xie Bangui said coldly: "If you want to burn the jade with the Black Fox Cavalry?" I see the Vulcan Guard hanging thunder on his body, are you ready to die as a friend or foe? ”
Lao Qian laughed miserably: "The children of the Zheng family, I am willing to live and die with the Zheng family." Let's go! ”
