Chapter 178: Sharp Weapons
Twenty mule carts loaded with cloth and wine were driven very quickly behind more than a hundred soldiers in front of the battle.
It was a short stretch from the summit to the descent, and the road was gentle, but very narrow, and could only be barely carried by two mule carts.
After ordering the mule carts to stop one by one according to his own requirements, Gu Yanzhang pulled out the dagger on his waist.
He cut off the ropes from the first two mules and shouted to the crowd: "Unload the ropes and drive the mules behind!" ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly ordered to more than a dozen people with earth-colored faces: "Unload these eight cars!" ”
The people received the order, and hurriedly climbed into the mule cart, and carried out the wine in the jar after jar.
Gu Yanzhang couldn't help frowning.
It's too slow!
He struck his horse to the door of the mule cart, took a jar of wine from it, and smashed it open with a "snap" directly in the cart.
The liquor and the broken jar pieces were mixed with the cloth separated from them, and the smell of wine suddenly dispersed.
"Unload like this!!"
It is a great sin to carry a heavy load!
The people looked at him in horror.
Gu Yanzhang said coldly: "Whether you want to die or live, it depends on whether you are moving fast or not!" ”
Fools have to die!
After only hesitating for a while, the people smashed the wine jar in a hurry, compared to Gu Yanzhang's movements, they were not slow at all, and when the people in the back saw this, they also hurriedly drew gourds in the same way, and soon, two by two, the eight carts of cloth in the middle of the road were full of wine.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Yanzhang urged the people behind him to dismantle the other twenty mule carts and threw the dismantled wood into the mule carts in front.
There are many people to do things, and hundreds of people work together, and the scene is quickly cleaned up.
Seeing that the front could no longer hold on, Gu Yanzhang took out the fire fold in his arms, made a move against the wind, and got into one of the mule carts.
"The front army retreats !!"
Gu Yanzhang shouted loudly.
The more than 100 soldiers who had stopped in front of them were almost unable to resist, but when they looked back, the fire was raging, and they heard his command here, and they almost jumped back from the gap between several mule carts as if they were fleeing for their lives.
The soldiers in the back had just returned to the battle, and the barbarians in front were still rushing in the middle of the way, Gu Yanzhang and a few people he picked out ordered the remaining cars.
The cloth was full of wine, and there were wooden mule carts outside, and there were many timbers removed from the mule carts at the back, and it only took a moment for them to burn to the sky.
With such a big fire, it is very difficult for the North Barbarians to rush over, even if they want to get closer.
It was a headwind here, and Gu Yanzhang was still standing a foot away from the last burning mule cart, but he was so smoked by the flames and black smoke that he involuntarily retreated.
Obviously, his eyebrows were about to be burned by the fire, but he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the scorching flame in front of him seriously for a while, and then looked at the sky.
At this time, the dark clouds are pressing on the top, the sky is not yet bright, only half of the east is gray, this fire burns in succession, the flames, black smoke soars into the sky, and it is on the top of the mountain, that is, twenty or thirty miles apart, presumably it can also make the camp under the mountain see clearly.
The fire burned so big that he didn't believe that the people below would not know what was going on!
As soon as this fire burned, one was to warn the camp, the second was to stop the enemy, and the third was to ......
Gu Yanzhang turned his head and said to the soldier who was panting with his horse's buttocks: "Take out the Divine Arm Bow." ”
The leader's face changed, and he said, "That's top secret in the army!" ”
Gu Yanzhang did not back down: "At this time, if the reinforcements come down the mountain, they can still hold until the reinforcements arrive, if they don't take it, this fire can last for two quarters of an hour at most, the fire is so big, the mountain will definitely know that there is an enemy attack here, this group of northern barbarians will never go forward, nine times out of ten, they will choose the same way to return, they will extinguish this fire, the reinforcements have not arrived, not to mention that our lives are not guaranteed, this divine arm bow will also fall into the hands of the enemy!" ”
The leader was still hesitating, Gu Yanzhang didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, but shouted straight towards the more than a hundred soldiers: "Who has used the Divine Arm Bow, get out of the ranks!" ”
Scattered and scattered, two or three people came out.
Another whispered in the queue, "I've stringed the bow of the Divine Arm......
"Those who have been wound and touched the bow will be out together!"
Gu Yanzhang ordered.
Two more men stepped out.
Fortunately......
Thankfully, it's not like no one has used it!
Gu Yanzhang turned his head, nodded to the forty people, pointed to the twenty mule carts parked on the side, and said to them: "Unload the things in these twenty mule carts, and be lighter!" ”
The mule cart was still sealed with nails, and the people finally cut it with machetes.
As soon as the box was opened, the first thing I saw was a thick seven or eight layers of oiled paper, and when the oiled paper was uncovered, a bow with a bow body length of three feet three and a string length of two feet five was shining with the cold light of Sensen, and it came into view.
Soon, a hundred Divine Arm Bows were taken out of the mule cart one by one, Gu Yanzhang selected a hundred people from one hundred and twelve soldiers, and called the people over again, and matched them one by one, and one of the people supplied a soldier to assist in winding the Divine Arm Bow.
The bow of the divine arm is made of wooden feather arrows, which are several inches long, and the tip of the head is sharpened extremely sharp.
It was the first time that many soldiers had seen this weapon in the army, and under the guidance of a few people who had used it, they were clumsily adapting to it.
The leader, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally couldn't stand it anymore, he snatched the bow from the hand of a soldier, stood in front of him, and said loudly: "Look at what I do!" ”
He took a wooden feather arrow, wound it, and pointed it at a large tree ten feet away, and pulled the trigger of the tooth hair.
There was a muffled sound, and as the wooden feather arrow flew out, the big tree, which was a foot and a half in diameter, was shot through it, and the arrow only showed a small half of the wooden feather tail, which was "buzzing" and trembling.
The power of one arrow is so powerful!
I can't complain that this is called a divine weapon!
The soldiers and civilians were trying to learn how to use the Divine Arm Bow, but the mule carts on the opposite side made a crashing sound, and the fire was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although he couldn't see it, Gu Yanzhang could also guess that this was Beiman extinguishing the fire on the other side of the car.
These hundreds of people are all elites in dark armor, knowing that their whereabouts are exposed, and if they go down the mountain, they will die, and they will never be moths to the fire again, so they really chose to return the same way.
Gu Yanzhang stepped forward and shouted: "Everyone listen to my orders and line up in three columns!" ”
The soldiers and servants lined up neatly and nervously adjusted the Divine Arm Bow in their hands.
Gu Yanzhang looked at the gradually shrinking flames of the mule cart in front of him, wiped the sweat off his hands, and stood at the front of the queue.
His heart was pounding, but this time, it was nervous and excited.
Such brute soldiers would never have imagined that there would be such a number of divine arms and bows in the midst of a team of ordinary escorts and baggage escorts encountered during the surprise attack.
With a "bang" sound, the last two mule carts were swept down the hillside by several long and large tree trunks, and dozens of Beiban who were fighting the fire on the opposite side finally showed their heads.
Gu Yanzhang opened his mouth and shouted: "First column, salvo!" ”
Thirty-three wooden feather arrows shot out in unison, converging into a rain of arrows and rushing headlong to the opposite side.
