Chapter 948: Fire Arrow
At first, Le Chongjin and his lieutenants also planned to use the shield array to force the enemy's bed crossbow position out, and then use the Holy Exterminator to destroy their bed crossbow position.
After all, a killing weapon like the Holy Exterminator Crossbow is just placed on the destruction of the catapult, which is a bit overkill.
"Don't worry, there's still a chance. ”
Le Chongjin stared at Yue Fei's position and sneered: "When he finds out that those so-called fire arrows are useless, he will understand that in the end, he still has to use the bed crossbow array." ”
"Haha, what the general said is extreme, we just need to be here...... Wait......"
Suddenly, before a lieutenant general finished speaking, his eyes shrank suddenly, staring at the position of his own shield array on the battlefield, and exclaimed: "General, look, those shields on our side!"
"Huh?"
Le Chongjin frowned slightly, and moved his gaze to the position of his shield array.
Soon, his gaze also shrank.
He saw that on the shields carried by the shields of his own army, there was a flame.
"How is this possible?"
Many lieutenants were full of disbelief.
The biggest function of the fire bolt is that when attacking at night, it can light up the sky while shooting the enemy, so that it can bring great convenience to the attack of your own soldiers.
But now, those fire arrows shot by the Nanyan Kingdom actually made the shield ignite.
Although the flames were still small, it was clear that as more and more fire bolts hit the shield, so did the flames on the shield.
"Big ...... General, this ...... What's going on?"
Le Chongjin's lieutenants were all stupid, looking at this scene with a face full of disbelief.
Le Chongjin's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what was going on.
You must know that the shields of your own soldiers are wrapped in a thick layer of iron, and only in this way can you block those sharp arrows.
But right now, on these iron sheets, there is a flame.
How could he believe it?
On Yue Fei's side, Qin Qiong saw a flame on the shield in the hands of the enemy's shield soldiers, and suddenly realized, "General, do you want to burn the enemy's shield with flames and then attack with a bed crossbow?"
Yue Fei nodded and said, "That's right!"
Although the bed crossbow is a good thing, Yue Fei knows very well that the vanguard army of the Liyang Dynasty was able to block the bed crossbow shooting before, and now these soldiers will definitely be able to do it if they attack again.
Shoot with a bed crossbow at this time, even if it has an effect, the effect will not be great.
So, he thought of using fire arrows.
Naturally, the fire arrows he used were not ordinary fire arrows, but fire arrows that had been soaked in the special fire oil of the Southern Yan Kingdom.
As long as you hit the shield, the special fire oil will stain the shield, forming a flame that is very difficult to extinguish.
In addition, except for special shields, most shields are made of wood, and even if they are covered with a layer of iron on the outside, they cannot stop the burning of special fire oil.
When these shieldmen suffered heavy losses in the flames, he could let the bed crossbow shoot, and he would be able to achieve greater results.
"Order the bed crossbow array, get ready, once you wait for the enemy's shield array to have a loophole, immediately release the arrows and shoot the enemy!" Yue Fei ordered.
"Yes!"
Qin Qiong immediately went down to give the order.
Although the bed crossbow array was prepared, the fire arrows in Yue Fei's army did not stop shooting, on the contrary, under Yue Fei's intentional arrangement, more and more were fired.
Keep shooting those shields.
At first, there were only a few small flame shields, but after a while, the flames covered most of them.
The burning heat made the soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty who were carrying the shields sweat one by one, and some of the shields were already burned, and the fire oil was stained on the soldiers behind, which immediately caused a miserable wail.
There were also soldiers who wanted to extinguish the fire on the shield, but no matter what they did, they couldn't extinguish it, but the flames melted the iron sheet on the surface of the shield and began to burn the wood inside, so that many shield soldiers gave up their shields.
And with this abandonment, those fire arrows were unblocked, and they shot directly at the rows of soldiers standing behind the shield soldiers, causing great casualties at once.
In particular, the fire oil was contaminated with other soldiers, passing one by one, and at the forefront, there were soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty wailing in the flames.
Very miserable!
"Bastard!"
When Le Chongjin on the high mountain on the right side of Lianyun Road saw it, his face was full of anger, and he shouted: "Can anyone tell me how these flames are ignited, why can they burn on the iron sheet, why can't they be extinguished?"
One by one, the lieutenants under his command bowed their heads.
The time they spent in the southwest of Yuzhou was too short, and they didn't know that the special fire oil of the Southern Yan Kingdom was powerful.
In the intelligence system in the southwest of Yuzhou, it is impossible to find out everything clearly.
You must know that the southwest of Yuzhou is Jinyiwei's hometown, and many intelligence officers of the Liyang Dynasty were lost in the hands of Jinyiwei.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Seeing that the generals under his command did not speak one by one, Le Chongjin was even more angry.
However, as the general of the Liyang Dynasty, he quickly calmed himself down.
Take a deep breath and stare at the battlefield, especially on your shieldmen.
Although the flames burned and caused great losses to the shield soldiers, many shield soldiers gave up their shields and became ordinary infantrymen.
But there are many shield soldiers at the forefront of the Liyang Dynasty, and this is only a part, and some are persistent.
"Command, charge the whole army!"
Le Chongjin suddenly commanded loudly.
He knew very well that if he continued to delay, these inexplicable flames would surely completely burn all shields.
If you want to attack at that time, you can only attack in the rain of arrows from the enemy, which is definitely not a good choice.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were still some shield soldiers to let the infantry attack and take down the enemy army.
Le Chongjin's order quickly reached the ears of every soldier of the Liyang Dynasty through the military array.
"Drink!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, their footsteps increased sharply, and they rushed forward quickly.
Those shield soldiers, under the order of the commander, rushed forward with their flaming shields to resist the enemy's arrows and act as shields for their own soldiers.
"Command the bed crossbow array, release the arrows immediately!"
Seeing that the enemy army had begun to charge, Yue Fei ordered without hesitation.
"Yes!"
At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 bed crossbows in the bed crossbow array fired arrows in unison.
In an instant, terrifying bed crossbow bolts filled the sky and shot at the enemy army.
"Puff puff!"
Under the shot of the bed crossbow arrows, the soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty who rushed over fell to the ground one after another.
Some were even directly pierced by the huge bed crossbow arrows.
From a high place, the soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty fell to the ground like rice blown by a strong wind, but the follow-up soldiers did not stop and continued to rush forward according to the general's orders.
Le Chongjin, who was on the high mountain on the right side of Lianyun Road, saw this scene, and his expression was even more overjoyed, and he immediately said: "The Holy Exterminating Crossbow is immediately aimed at the enemy's bed crossbow array!"
