Chapter 60: Rockets
……
Heichai looked sad, nodded to Qi Kun, and said, "It's our carelessness, I didn't expect this Liu Zhibang to have such a powerful bow and arrow, but it's a pity that my third brother ...... The seventh brother is a black man, the third brother is a lot of people, Liu Zhibang has already killed my two brothers, and I will fight him to the death......"
Qi Kun said again: "Patriarch Heichai, now we can't get close to the Fire Dance Clan, how can we fight this battle!" ”
Heichai walked back and forth on the ground for a while, then raised his head and said fiercely: "I must break through their defenses tonight and bring my falcon to ......"
"Report, Commander, another puff of wolf smoke has risen......"
Liu Zhibang looked up in the direction pointed by the soldier, and saw a puff of wolf smoke rising ten kilometers to the northeast.
"Report, Commander, wolf smoke has risen in the northwest......"
Liu Zhibang turned his head to look at the northwest sky, where a puff of green smoke had just risen.
Aya asked nervously on the side: "Commander, wolf smoke has risen in both directions, indicating that a large group of people are coming, could it be that Heichai moved the rescuers?" ”
Liu Zhibang also had a heavy face, and replied: "I don't know what the situation is now, tell everyone to stick to their posts, there will be a bitter battle tonight......"
As soon as Aya left, Ah Meng was dressed in a military uniform and approached Liu Zhibang and said, "Brother-in-law, arrange a task for me too!" ”
Liu Zhibang was startled when he saw Ah Meng, who was wearing a gorgeous leather armor at this time, wearing the feather crown of his father before his death, and carrying his mace in his hand, looking anxious about the uselessness of a hero.
Liu Zhibang glared at Ah Meng and said, "Ah Meng, didn't I tell you to take the old and weak women and children in the clan to retreat to the ancestral cave?" How did you come back again! ”
Ah Meng puffed out two eyes as big as copper bells and said: "The enemy has hit the door of the house, how can I, Ah Meng, hide, I am the son of the mountain fury Shan Meng, I would rather die in battle than let the enemy come to harm my homeland again!" ”
Liu Zhibang glared at Ah Meng sternly and said, "Do you want to openly disobey my orders!" ”
Ah Meng saw that Liu Zhibang looked very serious, but he didn't give in and said: "I don't care, when this battle is over, I will let you punish you!" ”
Seeing that Ah Meng was losing his temper, Liu Zhibang sighed and said, "You go to protect Aya, and when this battle is over, see how I repair your ......"
"Yes, Commander!"
Ah Meng laughed and ran out, Liu Zhibang shook his head and said to himself: "It seems that you didn't join the Phoenix Army......
The whole afternoon was calm, but there were more and more falcons hovering over the Fire Dance Village, and there were more than twenty of them at will, and most of the people in the Fire Dance Village were recuperating and preparing for the fierce battle at night, only a few sentries on the arrow tower were looking around nervously.
When the night finally came, torches were lit in the Huowu village, and Liu Zhibang called Lu Er and Ma San, who were carrying bows on their shoulders, quivers on their backs, and long knives in their hands.
The two walked up to Liu Zhibang in high spirits, and Lu Er asked, "Patriarch, what are your orders?" ”
Liu Zhibang looked at the two of them and said, "I've given you a task, this task is very dangerous, do you dare to accept it?" ”
Lu Er and Ma San glanced at each other, and Lu Er laughed and said: "Patriarch, we are all hunters from Wumang Mountain, we never know what the danger is, since we took refuge in our Fire Dance Clan, we have handed over this life to you, you say, we promise to complete the task!" ”
Liu Zhibang thought for a while and said, "You go to the treasury and everyone gets a cuirass, and then you ......."
After assigning Lu Er and Ma San, Liu Zhibang walked to the entrance of the village again, and with the help of the newly rising moonlight, Liu Zhibang could vaguely see the general situation at the edge of the jungle. At this time, hundreds of people walked out of the jungle, but it was impossible to see how many people there were.
"Ready, the enemy is out......" the sentry on the arrow tower warned loudly.
A dark shadow could not see how many people there were, and it was slowly pushing towards the gate of the village.
"Shoot rockets!" Liu Zhibang decisively issued an order.
Sou...... Sou...... Sou......
Dozens of rockets sparsely shot at the black shadow, some rockets hit the black shadow, splashed a cloud of sparks and fell to the ground, through the faint light of the fire, I saw a row of twenty shields in front of them holding their shields above their heads, and also protecting the people behind, there was a shadow behind each shield, and behind that shadow there was a shield hand holding a shield high, and a hundred shield bearers each protected a person behind them.
"First Bow Team, Preparation, Shoot ......"
"Second Bow Team, Ready, Shoot ......"
Jingle ......
The archers on the Fire Dance side shot a few arrows, only to see those arrows hit the shields of the Black Mountain Clan and splash sparks, but the shield team was not affected, still slowly moving forward, when approaching the entrance of the village eighty paces, after a rain of arrows, suddenly the shield team dispersed, and an archer was exposed behind each shield, shooting the ignited rockets towards the village.
There were bits of fire falling from the sky, and the rockets were not all aimed at the soldiers on the earthen wall, but more flew towards the rooftops of the village. Soon some of the roofs were on fire, but the fire did not spread, and after a while it burned on its own, even if some of the roofs were on fire, and someone quickly fetched water to extinguish them.
"What's the matter, isn't the roof of the Fire Dancer thatched?" Qi Kun looked at the Fire Dance Village's village with a look of surprise on his face, but it was not as fierce as he expected.
Heichai was also paying attention here, his expression was very solemn, but he didn't speak.
"Huh! Why don't these roofs burn up? ”
Hong Tai dodged a rocket without a target, and saw that the rockets that were shot on the roof did not cause a fire, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and when he looked closely, he found that the thatch on each roof was pasted with a layer of mud, and it was difficult for those rockets to burn the thatched roof when they were shot on the mud.
Hong Tai suddenly realized: "Ah, the thatch is muddy, so powerful, who came up with such a good way......"
"Of course it's our patriarch, who else can come up with such a good way but him......" A Phoenix Army soldier said to Hong Taidao with a proud face, looking at Liu Zhibang who was directing the fire extinguishing in the distance.
"What a divine envoy......"
Hong Tai sighed, and his admiration for this young man deepened in his heart, he walked to Liu Zhibang's side and said, "Commander, assign me a task, I just saw that you sent Lu Er and Ma San out, our Luohe clan warriors are not here to watch the battle......"
Liu Zhibang looked at the sturdy middle-aged man and said gratefully: "Uncle Hong Tai, don't worry, it will make you useful, if nothing else, soon Heichai will launch a strong attack, and you will have to contribute when the time comes!" ”
