Chapter 570: Changing Situation
In other words, Ruan Qiling has long been ready for people to sacrifice, of course, Ruan Qiling will not express some meanings now, because not caring for the soldiers will cause the general's dissatisfaction. In fact, many generals had already known that the sacrifice of some people was inevitable in order to truly fight the night army, so when some generals mentioned this issue, they wisely chose to remain silent.
"General, do you really want to give up those soldiers?" There are still generals who still can't bear to know this.
"I wonder if General Yuwen has any way to save them?" Ruan Qiling looked at the general who asked the question, and then looked at the other generals, and completely made those who still had worries die with a question.
Under Ruan Qiling's inquiry, those generals, whether they didn't care about the lives of those soldiers or took pity on those soldiers, could only shake their heads and not answer.
"If there are no generals who have no objections, go and prepare for a counterattack now, and it won't be long before the time for the Wing Kingdom to take revenge on the Night Army will come. After some time, Nguyen Qiling gave instructions to the silent generals.
"Yes," the generals agreed, and the generals naturally turned their sympathy for the soldiers into anger against the night army. After receiving the order, they dispersed. In the blink of an eye, only a few main generals remained next to the chariot, waiting for Ruan Qiling's dispatch at any time.
On the battlefield, more and more flying rocks fell, and the flying landing locations were all areas with many night soldiers, and the night soldiers were bleeding from the heads of the fist-sized stones. Even if he didn't kill people on the spot, he still smashed those people dizzy and lost the opportunity to fight for a short time, thus creating an opportunity for the winged army below to kill those people.
In areas with a large number of winged troops, the winged army above will attack in a targeted manner, aiming all the stones at the night army below, and will not easily injure their own people.
From the beginning to the present, those who were hit by the stones were either injured or killed on the spot, but the ending seemed to be the same, and it can be said that many of the Night Soldiers died in an unknown way, and they didn't even know who killed them.
"What's that?" When Zhao Xu realized that the stone attack had dealt a blow to the Wing Army more than he had imagined, the two Wing Soldiers under a Wing Bird suddenly each lifted a wooden barrel, and then leaned directly against the side of the basket and tilted down, streams of liquid flowed out of the bucket, glowing with cold light in the sun.
"It's fire oil," Wei Shi's sense of smell seemed to be very keen, and he could already smell the smell of fire oil in the air when Zhao Xu asked.
Zhao Xu's complexion changed when the word "fire oil" was shocked, it can be imagined that if the fire oil was poured down from above, poured on the soldiers, and then ignited by the wing army, the night army would not die one by one, and there would be a large number of casualties, which was a situation that Zhao Xu never wanted to see.
In a hurry, Zhao Xu looked at the location of the soldiers in the arrow battalion, and didn't know why Fang Quyin had not moved until now.
"Let's go and see what's going on with General Fang?" When Zhao Xu turned around to explain to a herald, he happened to see an arrow battalion general coming.
"Marshal, General Fang asked the Marshal to ask the Marshal if he is considering the impact of shooting the Winged Bird?" met Zhao Xu's gaze, and the general of the arrow battalion hurriedly explained his intentions.
Zhao Xu, who was originally wondering what the situation was on the Arrow Camp, saw the other party asking, and suddenly realized that there was something that was not well thought out before. Now that I think about it, if I shoot the winged bird directly above, the location where the winged bird and the basket fall down must still be the area where the night army is located. It would be good if the Wing Army didn't prepare the oil, but now that he found that the Wing Army still had the intention of attacking with fire, Zhao Xu didn't dare to let people shoot the Wing Bird down easily, otherwise shooting down a few barrels of fire oil would help the Wing Army.
Frowning, Zhao Xu kept thinking about what to do.
"Marshal, Wei has an idea, I don't know if to say it or not. "I have been accompanying Zhao Xu to watch the battle until now, and Master Wei on the side finally found out where he came in, and immediately asked Zhao Xu for instructions.
"Master Wei, please say," Zhao Xu, who was in a dilemma, heard Master Wei say that there was a way, and immediately turned to look at Master Wei.
"Those winged birds seem to be flying independently, but in fact they are all controlled by the winged army above, as long as you can shoot those winged birds that control the flight, the winged birds will fly away on their own, and then the crisis of our army will be solved. Knowing that the current situation was urgent, Wei Shi didn't dare to delay time, and explained the idea he thought of in a paragraph.
"Master Wei is reasonable," the next time, Zhao Xu nodded thoughtfully, and then hurriedly ordered the general of the arrow battalion next to him: "Pass on my military order, no matter what method you use, be sure to shoot all the winged troops under the winged bird." ”
"Yes," the general of the Arrow Battalion immediately retreated after receiving the order, and conveyed Zhao Xu's order to Fang Quyin as quickly as possible. As soon as this person left, Zhao Xu thought about how to solve the problem. Now those winged birds have caused a lot of trouble to the night army, and judging from the number of winged birds, Fang Quyin can't solve the trouble in a short time, so the key now is to let some people retreat to a safe area. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Xu continued to think about the impact if some people were evacuated.
"Report, Marshal, General Li asked the last man to ask for instructions on how to deal with the above problems in our army now," when Zhao Xu was thinking about the problem, a infantry battalion general came over with a question, and the general Li in his mouth was naturally Li Jianran, the commander of the infantry battalion.
"Let General Li stop leading his troops deep into the enemy positions, and all the soldiers should not gather together and spread out as much as possible. Tell General Li again that Ben Shuai is already speeding up the handling of the problem of the winged bird above. After giving several instructions one after another, Zhao Xu didn't think about it in the direction of withdrawing troops for the time being.
The infantry battalion general agreed, then turned around and left, and ran all the way to Li Jianran against the attack from above, conveying all of Zhao Xu's instructions.
After receiving Zhao Xu's military order, Li Jianran, who was commanding the battle on the battlefield, calmed down, and then ordered the night army in front not to go deeper, and at the same time ordered the surrounding night army to scatter around and not to gather together, and to watch out for attacks from above at any time.
The Wing Army used the Wing Bird to fight the night army by way of high-altitude combat, but now what really scared the night army was the fire oil that the Wing Army poured from above, as Zhao Xu thought, the Wing Army immediately ignited the fire oil after pouring it, and together with the fire, a large number of night troops were affected.
"Ah......" The screams in the rear came one after another, and some of the night soldiers were directly burned all over their bodies, screaming and moving around, which led to the ignition of other night soldiers next to them who were stained with fire oil, and so on, and the chaotic scene continued to expand. It didn't take long for several places in the rear of the entire night army to burst into flames.
In the midst of the firelight, the situation in the Night Army array became more and more chaotic. As the winged birds flew, chaos spread to the rear of the night army, quickly leaving the 80,000 night army in a difficult situation, including the cavalry charging ahead.
Unexpectedly, the speed of the winged bird's attack was so fast, and it quickly expanded the scope of influence to the current point, and there was no time to think about it, Zhao Xu hurriedly ordered the night army to retreat, and temporarily retreated to a safe area to make plans.
At the same time, at the position of the arrow battalion, Fang Quyin didn't expect that the efficiency of the winged bird's attack would be so high, and it would soon put the night army in such an unfavorable situation. At the moment, he didn't care about anything else, while letting the archers behind him scatter and retreat, he personally commanded the ballista gunners who stayed behind, and according to Zhao Xu's instructions, they wanted to solve the problem of winged birds in a short time at any cost.
If the problem continues to grow, the impact will get worse and worse, and no one wants to see that happen. Now some winged birds are located about 100 meters above the ground, and they can actually shoot with bows and arrows, but if they use bows and arrows in a large area, they will cause more damage to the night army, and replacing them with ballistas will reduce the problem, at least Fang Quyin thinks so now.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to aim at a target a hundred meters away with a ballista, the only advantage is that the winged bird moves very slowly, and when firing, it is possible to predict the position of the upper winged army.
"Give me all the quickness," Fang Quyin, who usually had a somewhat elegant temperament, became completely irritable at the moment, and kept urging the ballistamen.
"Woo-hoo," a series of crossbow arrows shot out in a hurry, aiming at the winged troops in many positions. Under Fang Quyin's attention, a winged army who was busy pouring fire oil was shot by a crossbow arrow, and was shot directly out of the basket, and before he could even let out a scream, the corpse fell with the crossbow arrow to the night army below.
"Be careful, everyone," a general directly below noticed the situation above, and immediately alerted some of the soldiers next to him after predicting where the corpse would land. The night soldiers who had been prompted hurriedly left their original positions, and dispersed in time before the corpses fell to the ground, so that no one was smashed.
However, the situation in other places is not optimistic, and many crossbow arrows are shot in the air, and when they reach their maximum range, they fall directly down and fall on the night army below.
Some of the night soldiers were crucified to the ground because they couldn't move or didn't notice it, and their deaths were so miserable that they never imagined that they would die at the hands of their own people. Their death brought a fear to the other night army, thinking that they could die at the hands of their own people at any time, many night army was even more panicked, which caused the night army's formation to become more chaotic, and the morale of the night army was also rapidly weakened.
Now the situation encountered by those troubled night armies is the same as that of some winged soldiers who died under the stones before, they either died directly at the hands of their own people, or they died because of some actions of their own side, in short, they died very helplessly.
"General Fang, the shooting accuracy of the ballista is too poor, I think those winged troops who fly low should let the archers deal with it," an arrow battalion general saw that most of the crossbow arrows missed, and they also had a great impact on his own soldiers, and immediately made a suggestion. At the same time, Fang Quyin was struggling because of the low accuracy of the crossbow arrows.
"Then what are you going to do?" In a hurry, Fang Quyin couldn't care about posing as the main general in front of his subordinates. Because if you don't solve the winged bird problem soon, I'm afraid that Zhao Xu will come over in person soon.
