Chapter 706: An Easy Victory!
Qin Qiong's general formation retracted, abandoning the hillside that could block the advance route of Fan Haosheng's army, and instead went to the hill above.
From here, it is possible to fight high and low, and make the passing army pay a heavy price.
But it was impossible to block all the passing troops in front of the hillside.
Now Qin Qiong chose this position, the purpose was not to block the enemy army, but to burn the enemy's grain and grass.
Hearing the adjutant general's words, looking at the long army of enemy troops carrying grain that was about to pass below, Qin Qiong's face was cold, he waved his hand, and shouted: "Push out the prepared fire oil!"
Soon, nearly a thousand soldiers rolled out dozens of huge barrels.
In these wooden barrels, all of them are special fire oil unique to the Southern Yan Kingdom.
And there were dozens of martial artists whose strength was around the first and second heavens of the iQue standing in front of the wooden barrel, waiting for Qin Qiong's order.
Qin Qiong stared at the enemy troops passing below.
Fan Haosheng's henchman army of iron numbers stood on both sides of the grain transport army, and soldiers with shields stood aside, apparently to prevent Qin Qiong's army from raiding.
Moreover, these iron armies marched neatly, their armor was neat, and they walked below, naturally with a killing atmosphere.
This is the mark of a crack soldier!
Qin Qiong had to say that no matter what the reputation of this iron army was, and no matter how generous Fan Haosheng was to the iron army, purely from the army, the iron army was an absolute elite soldier.
Such an army, in the Southern Yan Kingdom, may be second only to the Trap Camp and the Tiger Guards and the Praetorian Guards in terms of infantry.
Qin Qiong's army under his command and this iron-numbered army fought head-on on the plain, and the battle situation was very likely to be five or five.
It was not that Qin Qiong belittled the army under his command, but that the iron-clad army in front of him was indeed an elite army.
But now, Qin Qiong didn't want to fight face-to-face with this iron army.
"Archer prepare!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Woohoo!
The piercing sound of breaking the air resounded in the sky, and in the slightly dim sky, with a strong killing intent in the sky.
"Hmph, Qin Qiong, Ben knew that you would ambush. ”
Fan Haosheng saw it, but he snorted coldly and shouted: "Block!"
When the Iron Army heard the order of the main general, the shield soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately stepped forward with huge shields to block the rain of arrows.
Ding Ding Ding.
The rain of arrows hit the shield, making a sound of gold and iron intersecting.
Let everyone see that the rain of arrows was almost all blocked by Fan Haosheng's iron army.
When Fan Haosheng himself saw this scene, he was even more disdainful of Qin Qiong, and shouted: "Qin Qiong, do you have such a little ability? It's better to follow the general, the general is in a good mood, maybe he will reward you with some positions!"
"I do only have such a little ability, but I'm afraid you can't stand it!"
Qin Qiong sneered, and with a wave of his hand, those martial artists standing in front of the huge wooden barrel containing the special fire oil immediately made a move.
One by one, they carried huge wooden barrels and threw them down with all their might.
At the same time, some archers not far away also replaced ordinary bows and arrows with rockets.
"What's that?"
Fan Haosheng saw nearly a hundred huge wooden barrels falling from the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't understand it, in this case, the only thing that could kill the shield soldiers was the huge stone.
What are these barrels for?
However, to be on the safe side, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the barrel in an attempt to shoot through the barrel to see what it was.
Woohoo!
With the sound of breaking through the air, countless arrows rained down on the huge wooden barrel containing the special fire oil.
In an instant, the barrel was pierced by countless arrows, and the special fire oil contained in it was immediately spilled.
The pungent smell of fire oil filled the battlefield in an instant.
"It's ......"
Fan Haosheng's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Quick, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
He reacted and understood Qin Qiong's plan!
Qin Qiong wants to use these fire oils to burn his own grain and grass!
It's just that although his order is to go down, the shield soldiers gathered together want to disperse, where is it so simple?
The pungent oil was sprinkled on the shields of the shield-bearers, on the ground, on the grain wagons of the army of grain.
"Shoot the arrows!"
On the mountain, Qin Qiong let out a loud shout, and thousands of crossbowmen fired arrows in unison.
A rain of burning arrows appeared in the sky in an instant.
"Quick, Ben will block those rockets, quick!"
Fan Haosheng shouted angrily.
In an instant, the figures of many warriors flashed, trying to block these rockets.
"Breath-breaking arrows, release!"
When these warriors had just moved, Qin Qiong, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately ordered the unique crossbowmen to release the air arrows.
For a moment, the silver-white air-breaking arrows formed a terrifying rain of arrows, instantly tearing through the defensive formation formed by those martial artists.
Many warriors died under the air-breaking arrows.
And the rockets they were about to block just now no longer had any blockage, and they fell on the shields of the shield soldiers stained with fire oil, on the ground, on the grain and grass!
Rumble!
The flames rose instantly, and the screams of the Iron Army could be heard inside.
The terrifying flames were bloodier 'executioners' than bows and crossbows, devouring the lives of many soldiers of the Iron Army.
It also completely wiped out those precious grains and grasses.
"No!"
Fan Haosheng's eyes were about to split, and he roared angrily: "Qin Qiong, I will kill you!"
"Attack, attack!"
"Go up the mountain for me and cut off Qin Qiong's head for me!"
Fan Haosheng was already completely furious.
He was not angry at the loss of the Iron Army, he was angry at the loss of grain and grass.
In the case of Qingfeng City being besieged, the loss of a little grain and grass made him very distressed.
But his order made his lieutenant stunned.
Qin Qiong led the army to the mountain, how do you go to fight?
When you run up, no one needs to use a crossbowman, just let the elite soldiers stand there, and they will be able to knock you down in an instant.
Can this be fought?
The adjutant general said urgently: "General, the top priority is to order the army to retreat immediately, if we wait until the mutinous army behind it causes a greater impact, so that Meng Tian's army can fight effortlessly, we can't leave if we want to." ”
"General, think twice!"
The deputy general's words made the angry Fan Haosheng calm down a little, and he looked at Qin Qiong's army on the mountain, his eyes were full of killing intent.
But there is no way to do it.
As the adjutant general said, the priority now is to retreat.
Once the retreat of the army was delayed because of the attack on Qin Qiong, by the time Meng Tian's army arrived, everything would be over.
"Whew!"
Taking a deep breath, Fan Haosheng looked at the fire burning in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Order the remaining warriors to hold shields to block the enemy's air-breaking arrows, and at the same time use true qi to suppress the flames, so that the iron army can cover the grain army and retreat quickly through the sea of fire." ”
"Yes!"
The deputy general sent the order, and when the warriors under Fan Haosheng heard it, although they didn't want to go into the sea of fire, they didn't dare to disobey the military order, so they had to rush into the sea of fire with their shields, trying to use their true qi to suppress the flames.
