Chapter 232: Backbone
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Meng Shu shouted countless times, and the overwhelming arrows covered the sky with black pressure, "Don't let them step forward even a step!" There was a loud bang behind her, and the girl turned around to see several sweaty women pushing carts coming, "General Meng! ”
"What are you guys going to do!" There was some anger in her voice.
The women were not afraid of her, and smiled innocently, "We collected stones, clay pots, and fire oil for most of the night. "Junzhou was originally a prosperous trade port, and many merchants who entered Chengping would stop here to rest, and the fierce fire oil abundant in Beiyang naturally stayed like this. People here have jars of all sizes in their homes and use them for electric lighting. A small drop can burn for several days. Several women pushed the wooden cart to her side, "That's it, the general will use it well, and we will retire first." They also spoke with a heroic look.
"Thank you!"
Meng Yining looked at the bottles of fierce fire oil, and she reached out to feel the breeze.
Le Yi said in a deep voice: "The southeast direction will not change direction." ”
"Really?"
"That's true." He was sure, "Listen to the change of direction of the wind, Master Shiji has taught me since I was a child, you can rest assured, there will be no mistakes." ”
Meng Yining took the fierce fire oil, "Someone! Tie the burning oil to the arrows and shoot them all at me! Let the fire burn down the mountain! "The girl's best thing to do is to fight from a distance, she doesn't want her few soldiers to get into painful hand-to-hand combat, so that the winner will be different.
In an instant, the sky rained fire, bursts of burning arrows fell into the green grassland, the fierce flames spread rapidly on the grassland, the water could not be extinguished, the long wind burned slowly, and the sea of fire at the foot of the mountain was in a moment.
The burning was getting stronger and stronger, and the fire that engulfed everything seemed to be crazy, scurrying around with the wind, and Yan Rong, who rushed up, instantly killed and injured countless people. The smell of burnt corpses penetrated Meng Yining's nose and choked people.
She was also sweating from the scorching heat.
Arrows flew and the land turned the color of charcoal.
Seeing this spectacular scene, the soldiers of Great Xia shouted and howled vigorously, their excitement was written on their faces, and they watched the Yanrong people continue to retreat, like crows running in all directions. And those Yanrong soldiers who had lost their sight were buried in the fire and kept shrinking. The horn sounded in the distance, and the Yanrong people thought of the order, and subconsciously stiffened and quickly retreated, they looked at the fire and waited for it to be extinguished.
The southern mountains of Junzhou also burned into flames, and the whole Junzhou fell into a scorching heat. Taking advantage of nature is much more cost-effective than losing troops, which General Gai Xiaoyong can think of.
Yan Rong's soldiers and horses were originally going to feint in the main direction, and carry out a sneak attack on the flanks, but the surprise attack failed, but was used such a trick, and it was worth changing the attack strategy, after all, there is not much time left for the army, and it is inevitable to take Junzhou within five days, and passers-by will be stationed and then return to Baiyue, after all, this is the fat meat to the mouth, and the princes and nobles of Yan Rong are unwilling to give up the fat meat to the mouth.
After a little restlessness, they launched another round of offensive.
Xia Wang Jingchi and the hand of the general, deeply forgot the Yanrong carriage in the distance, and the cloud ladder and siege baggage drove out of the military camp. The seemingly impregnable city gate is about to experience an unprecedented catastrophe.
"Newspaper - General Meng! Yan Rong's army gathered under the city gate, and General Lian Qin quickly summoned 10,000 soldiers to rush to the city gate. ”
"Got it."
Meng Yining arranged for the soldiers to stick to the high ground, and suddenly saw a woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes wearing a military uniform. "Fu Chongxue? Why are you here? ”
"Why isn't my Fu family here!"
Meng Yining took a deep breath but didn't know how to answer, and then asked, "What about Zhao Erze?" ”
"Up ahead." She looked over, and the man was guarding a huge shield, shoulder to shoulder with the Great Xia soldiers, without a trace of the general in the past. He didn't know what the man was thinking in his head, it stands to reason that he should run away with his head in his hands, how could he still stand calmly on the battlefield, and Fu Chongxue, a female streamer also got into this barracks.
Meng Yining frowned, but was a little impressed.
Most of Bactria's generals and experienced veterans had either died in the war or had been sent to the towers where a vicious battle was most likely to take place right now. Most of her recruits were stationed under her command, as well as ordinary people who had just been put out of their armor and went into battle. Meng Yining shouted, "Zhao Erze! ”
"In!"
Meng Yining didn't like to use this general very much, but compared to the inexperienced recruits, she had reason to trust him at the moment, and she couldn't help him otherwise. "Zhao Erze, I don't blame you for slipping away from the back of the city and returning to Beiyang now."
Zhao Erze smiled sadly, "I know that you look down on our Zhao family and think that they are all sycophants. My sister poisoned the first king, my nephew colluded with the rebels, and my eldest brother also stained the blood of his family and country. General Meng, do you say there is a hell in this world? ”
Meng Yining was stunned for a moment, "Maybe, but this world is hell, isn't it?" ”
Zhao Erze sighed, "I know it's useless for me to say anything, but I want to avenge the first king, and be ashamed of the Zhao family, the Zhao family can't be a traitorous minister, and stay on top of the history after the disaster, I must ...... There must be a place to clear the name! A big man was already choked up when he said this, "Let the general fulfill me, I will wash away the shame of the Zhao family here, and I hope that in the future, the historian can make a note!" ”
"You have a backbone." Meng Yining snorted lightly, her eyes changed from disdain to a little admiration, and she roared angrily: "Zhao Erze listens to orders!" ”
"The minister is here!"
"In the past, you had the merit of Beiyang to rectify the frontier and make meritorious contributions, the past is gone, and now regardless of the past suspicions, you are promoted to be the general of the 5,000-person garrison in the north! Make sure you take this place, not a single enemy will let you go, or you will come to me!" ”
"Whoa!" The man's promise was pious and firm.
Meng Yining said, "You are an experienced person, most of these are homeless people, recruits who have just joined the army, take care of them, if you lose it, I won't spare you." ”
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely hold here! We must live up to our mission! Zhao Erze said firmly.
Meng Yining nodded, and Lao Cheng patted him on the shoulder.
"Please, soldiers!"
She bowed deeply and walked away.
Yan Rong's ladder drove to the foot of the tower, and the siege cloud cart and huge stones had arrived, and they smashed into the hard wall with a violent sound.
