174 Escape (M)
The archers on the city wall immediately began to shoot, but the distance between the two sides was too far, their arrows could only fall ten meters away from Chen Xiansong, even if they were shot, there was no danger, at most they wiped off a little skin, at such a distance, the strength of the arrows had already been exhausted.
The person in charge of archery on Chen Xiansong's side, called Li Yu, uses a large longbow...... Not long ago, he was one of the nine people who were in charge of standing at the second-floor window to block the enemy. The longbow shoots farther than the short bow, and the person who can use the longbow has more strength, and he habitually slowly pulls the bowstring full, and then lets go.
The rocket flew quickly through the air, turning into a thin bright line in the darkness before striking the city gates.
The small flames on the arrows instantly triggered a huge sky-high flame, and the soldiers on the city wall fled frantically to both sides, so much fire oil was burning, and the thick smoke and heat wave produced were absolutely able to smoke people to death. The officer was the last one to leave, he glanced at Chen Xiansong hatefully, there are two stone stairs near the city gate, you can go up the city wall or go down, but now under the fire, let alone come down from the top to pursue, as long as you get close to the steps, you will be burned off a layer of skin, so he can only evacuate from the city wall to the other city gate.
Chen Xiansong saw that the city gate was also burning, and nodded with satisfaction, the fire was so strong that even if it was so far away, he could feel the heat of the fire.
Seeing this, Balf, Aslan and others kept a chill down their backs, and when they saw this fire, they didn't have to think about it, the city gate was definitely destroyed. The city gate of every city, although it is wooden, is made of good hardwood, even if the siege car can't hit it in a short time, let alone the city gate of a big city like Emperor Fall City, the quality is absolutely excellent, I didn't expect it. It was so easy for his master to break it.
In fact, when they were blocked by the city guards in front of the city gate, Balf, as well as Aslan and others were already conscious, with the help of Ms. Bai Min, they would definitely be able to pass through the city gate, but they would definitely kill and injure more than a dozen brothers, but they never expected that it would be such a surprising result.
The old butler was already outside the carriage at some point, and he looked at it for a while, and then returned to the carriage. Tell Udil what happened. The old man closed his eyes and leaned on the inner compartment of the strange car, opened his eyes at this time, and said with a smile: "Heh, Xiao Song is really smart, and he has the talent of a war soul thinker." When the previous convoy stopped. I had already guessed what was going on, and then my first reaction. It is to use Ms. Bai Min as a sharp spear. Aslan's mercenary group followed, forcibly tore through the defense line of the city guards, opened the gate and left, but this kind of thing is going to die, and Xiao Song is this method. Without injuring a single soldier, I am not as good as my own students. ”
The little grandson was very unconvinced: "That's because grandpa, you are not in good health, as long as you think about it seriously, you will definitely think of a better way than this." ”
"Seriously thinking? It takes too long to think. When the two armies face each other, what they need is wisdom and inspiration. Sometimes, an order, given one second earlier and one second late, can lead to victory or defeat in a war. Udir smiled, he touched his little grandson's head, and said: "I know that you still have some resentment towards him, blame him for burdening my grandfather and me, you think my illness is because of the relationship between taking him to the royal city, but it's really not what you think...... Actually, my teacher, who, at this age, was like me, started to get those weird blue noses. ”
The little grandson snorted and continued to say unconvinced: "Even if he is smart, he burns such a big fire, it is strange that the people in the city can't see it, what if the army is sent over there, the city gate is burning, and we won't be able to rush through it for a while." ”
Udir closed his eyes: "I believe that Xiao Song has definitely figured out a way. ”
Indeed, as Udier said, what the little grandson considered, he didn't think about it for any reason. The city guards were no longer to worry about, although they could move to the other side of the city gate through the walkway of the city wall, and then come down. But...... The city was huge, and they walked from the city wall to the other side, then went down the city wall, and ran over again...... Dressed in thick armor and holding weapons, it's strange if they don't tire them out, even if they barely run over, Balf and the others are here to work at ease, as long as they dare to rush up, it will be a one-sided slaughter.
Now the trouble is the army in the city...... They may have horses, and the presence of horses means that there are cavalry, and the cavalry represents mobility.
Chen Xiansong checked the amount of fire oil left, nodded, and felt that it was enough. He asked Balf and others to collect dead grass, dried leaves, and hard stones the size of a fist nearby, and then threw them a hundred meters away from the convoy, about 200 meters long, and the stones were all hidden under the dry grass. Then Chen Xiansong asked them to pour all the remaining fire oil on the 200-meter-long dead grass, and then slowly poured the only remaining can of fire oil into the ground, pulling out a greasy thin line up to 100 meters long on the ground, extending to the rear of the convoy.
At this time, the sky was very dark, and the oil was also black, covering all the brown colors of the dead grass, and standing a little farther away, it was impossible to see anything on the ground.
After sitting on all this, Chen Xiansong sat on the wheel, looked at the starry sky, sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "I hope you don't come to die." ”
Balf heard it, and Aslan heard it, and they were curious, and the former asked, "Master, do you know that there is an enemy coming over to the Dao?" ”
"It's just speculation, if you think about it, you will come to this conclusion. If there is a fire at the city gate, or if it is still a fire, the people in the city will definitely see it, and if I am the head of the enemy, they will send someone to come and see it. Chen Xiansong looked at the starry sky, a little distracted, he slowly explained: "I guess they should be attacking the city lord's mansion, like this alley attack, the main force is definitely the infantry, then the strength may be a little nervous, besides, the attacking infantry is generally heavy helmets, slow action, the city center is a little far from here, when they arrive, we may all leave, it is unlikely to let the infantry come to check, so they will probably send cavalry over to see what happened." ”
"So I have to set it up, lest I be caught up by the cavalry." Chen Xiansong looked at the city center and said: "Of course, this is just my personal speculation, now I only hope that that person had better not send cavalry over, otherwise it will protect himself." I had to kill a lot of people. ”
The road was surrounded by some small hills and grasses, and it was impossible for cavalry to charge from both sides of the road, and the undulating terrain, as well as those vines and weeds, could easily make the war horse reach its hooves and necks, thus losing its balance and throwing people off the horse's back.
Chen Xiansong was suspected of boasting and arrogance when he spoke, but Balf and Aslan did not feel anything wrong, and now the city gate was still on fire. This is a miracle for those of them who don't know how to create and think, so it seems natural for their own masters to speak more arrogantly.
After a little more sitting, the fire at the gate began to grow smaller. The night in the early hours of the morning was humid and heavy, and Chen Xiansong felt a little cold. I was about to go back to the carriage and sit down. There were several bright lights from the western wall, which flickered regularly. Chen Xiansong looked at it for a while, and sighed: "It should be the city guards who escaped from here, most of them are sending signals to tell their commander about what happened here." The enemy's cavalry units are coming to a fixed place, alas. ”
Balf asked, "Master, what should we do then?" ”
"Do you have the tools to make a fire?" Chen Xiansong jumped out of the car. Take him a few steps forward and point to the slender oil road on the ground: "As soon as the enemy's cavalry sets foot on the field we have arranged, you will light the oil with fire, and watch the rest." He spoke lightly. His expression was a little depressed and a little helpless.
On the third floor of the underground black market, on the big bed in front of Riccardo, there was a middle-aged man with a pale face, he was unconscious, his lips were white, there was no trace of blood, his left arm was wrapped in thick gauze, the gauze was all red, and the clothes on his body were almost all blood. On a chair not far away, there sat another middle-aged man, who was also covered in blood, but it was not that he was injured, but that the blood of the wounded man on the bed was splattered on his body.
There was an elderly doctor sitting at the head of the bed, he opened the eyes of the wounded and looked at it for a while, and then touched the other party's heartbeat, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, fortunately, this Excellency has extraordinary strength and has survived, and now there is not much danger, it is necessary to recuperate for a long time to recover." ”
Riccardo nodded, he turned his head and asked the middle-aged man sitting in the chair, "Jerry, what the hell is going on?" How could Tom be injured, you have a magic crystal shield, and my crystal city-breaking crossbow, even if you can't defeat the Sun God Servant, there should be no problem in suppressing him. ”
"Master, didn't you tell me that kid was actually a war soul thinker." Jerry smiled bitterly: "Originally, we did have a great advantage, but that kid suddenly appeared and began to command the battle, and as a result, we lost for some reason. As for Tom, he was just stabbed in the arm by a woman, how could it be like this, I don't understand, it stands to reason that the wound on the arm should be healed soon. ”
Riccardo looked at the old doctor.
The old doctor explained: "The wound on your lord's arm is very strange, it is square, very large, like a hole, the blood flows out of it, and I can't stop it, and then I can't help it, I remember the special method taught to me by my teacher before, and try to sew up his wound with a needle and thread, and then the bleeding slowly stops." ”
Hearing this, Riccardo turned his head and asked, "Jerry, what kind of weapon did that woman use?" ”
"She was too fast, and it was dark, I couldn't see clearly." Jerry shook his head.
A faint irritation arose in Riccardo's heart, his plan for tonight was going well, and soon he would be the new master of Emperor City, and he would slowly become the lord of a country based on this in the future. But this thing made him feel ridiculous, like a piece of bread fresh out of the oven, and he was eating happily, only to find that there was suddenly a fly in it, which was disappointing and disgusting.
At this time, a black-robed man came in from outside the gate, he took off his mask, held a parchment scroll, and said: "Father, the western city wall has sent an emergency signal, and there is a convoy attacking the southern city gate, which has now been lost, and the city gate has been burned by fire, and they seem to be waiting for the fire to burn the city gate open before fleeing." The leader claims to be from the Soul Thinkers Association, and according to my guess, it should be Chen Xiansong and Udil. ”
"Oh, the South Gate?" Riccardo walked out of the window and looked out, and sure enough, there was a fire burning in the direction of the south gate, and it seemed that it would not be extinguished for a while. As soon as he thought about it, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "Chen Xiansong, no matter how smart you are, you are still stupid at this time, you must be thinking about such a long distance, when my infantry arrives, the fire will be almost extinguished, and then you can escape, but you must not have thought that I still have a cavalry." ”
"Jerry, you take the cavalry to hunt them down, and not one of them is left." Riccardo sneered: "There is a fire in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, Chen Xiansong, I see how you escaped this time, and you actually burned the city gate, you are killing yourself."
