Chapter 167: City Defense Crossbow Arrows Hanging Fire Oil (Three Watches)

Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army to prepare on the avenue above and below the canyon of the Chiyan Mountain Range, if the enemy army broke through here, it would be a fatal blow to the Qi family army!

Zhou Yu on the canyon of the Chiyan Mountain Range divided the city defense crossbow array into two. A part of the city defense crossbow formation is ready, once the enemy army breaks through from the upper and lower avenues of the Chiyan Mountain Gorge, it will shoot before approaching the formation of the Qi family's army, so as to reduce the pressure on the Qi family's army.

The other part is to prevent enemy sneak attacks behind the Qi family's army, and to cover the rear of the Qi family's army.

On the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range, Li Chunfeng also received an order from Zhou Chuan, asking him to divide the army into two, and part of the 600,000 troops camped outside the stronghold to support it, on the one hand, to prevent the soldiers of the combined forces of the various dynasties on the battlefield from escaping from the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range.

In the large army camp of the united forces of the various dynasties, several generals of the various dynasties discussed here.

They were only some of the generals of the 600,000-strong army, and the other generals followed Luo Zhong to the camp tent above the Chiyan Mountain Range last night, and they have not returned yet.

"Hmph, what does Luo Zhong want to do? The enemy army has begun to advance, and his orders have not yet been issued, what do you want to do?" a general's face was full of anger.

"That is, this Luo Zhong relied on the favor of King Luo Tian, and he was so blind that he didn't take the march and fight seriously, and he didn't give a single order until now!" said another general.

They didn't know that the camp of the main general on the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range had been breached! Because Li Chunfeng asked the new army of Wu Zhou to completely surround the camp before they started, and did not let any soldiers leave this place, let alone pass on the news.

"Report, our scouts have found a large number of enemy troops on the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountains. ”

At this time, a soldier ran over to give a message.

"What? How can there be enemy troops on the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range? That is where our main general's camp is located, how can there be enemy troops? Even if the camp is breached, it is impossible for us not to get the news, you must have read it wrong!"

"General, the little one looks true, it is indeed a soldier of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the military flag of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, there will be no mistake!"

When the generals saw that the soldiers were so sure, their faces changed drastically, and they hurried out of the camp and stood on the lookout. They were all masters, and their eyesight was extraordinary, and they could see the soldiers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty above the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountains in the rear at a glance.

Looking at the number, there are more than 300,000 to say the least.

"This ...... How is this possible? How can there be enemy troops in the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountains? Where did they go up? Why didn't we get any news?"

"Even if the enemy breaks through the camp, the general should send someone to inform us of the support, why haven't we received any news?"

"Hmph, you must have forgotten that the relationship between Luo Zhong and us has always been discordant!"

A sentence that wakes up the dreamer. The other generals reacted one after another, Luo Zhong is Luo Tianwang's person, could it be that he colluded with Zhou Chuan to let the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty reach the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range?

Come to think of it, I can't think of any other explanation than this one. After all, on the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range, as the main general's camp in the rear of the army, not only is there 600,000 troops here, but there are also more than 800,000 troops in the cities in the Chiyan Mountain Range.

How could the enemy army have captured the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountains like this? It is completely impossible!

"That'...... Then what should we do now? General Zhang, we will listen to you in this matter!" Everyone immediately looked at the older general among the several people.

This man has been a general for a long time, and his prestige is very high.

General Zhang groaned slightly, and said: "Luo Zhong is not sure what the situation is now, but there must be a problem inside, we must not sit still here, we must break through with all our strength, leave here, return to the town in the Chiyan Mountain Range, and then find a way to inform the king of our dynasty." ”

"Okay, let's do it!"

The rest of the generals immediately nodded and asked, "General Zhang, you say, where should we break through now? Do you want to break through from the stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range?"

General Zhang immediately shook his head and said: "The stronghold above the Chiyan Mountain Range is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there is a city defense crossbow array on it, we want to take it, even if there are many troops, we can't take it in three or five hours, at that time, Zhou Chuan's army has already been hit!"

"It is even more impossible to break through head-on, our own army knows its own combat effectiveness, and it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of Zhou Chuan's elite soldiers, even if it breaks through with a large number of people, there is nowhere to go in the end. Therefore, we can only break through from the avenue up and down the canyon of the Chiyan Mountain Range, and make a detour in the direction of Tongji City. ”

"But there is an enemy city defense crossbow array there, isn't it too dangerous for us to go over?"

"What time is it now, and what dangers do you care about whether it is dangerous or not? Leaving here is the biggest thing! Besides, other directions are much more dangerous than this one!"

General Zhang snorted coldly and said, "I don't care what you do, now I'll go and retreat with my own army." ”

Seeing this, the other generals also immediately went down to lead their own troops. Their idea is perfect, but it's too hard to actually do it. Is it easy for 600,000 troops to evacuate all at once?

Before leaving the camp, Zhou Chuan's army had already arrived outside the camp.

"City Defense Crossbow Array Ready!"

With the general's order, hundreds of city defense crossbows were rolled out, and crossbow arrows were placed on them. But in front of each crossbow arrow, there is a specially made oil bottle, which is very large.

These bottles are filled with special fire oil. If you want to achieve the maximum results at the minimum cost, fire attack is the easiest way. The special fire oil of the Wu Zhou Dynasty is extremely difficult to extinguish, and Zhou Chuan used this fire oil to conquer Sea Snake Island.

"Put!"

"Woohoo!"

Terrifying crossbow arrows carried oil bottles filled with special fire oil and instantly shot into the enemy camp. Some were shot at enemy soldiers, and some were shot at tents. But it doesn't matter, as long as the oil is dispersed, it is already done.

"Crossbowmen ready!" more than 10,000 crossbowmen drew their bows and arrows, but the arrows were burning with flames.

"Release!" 10,000 flaming arrows formed a red rain of arrows and shot into the enemy's camp.

"Boom!" The special fire oil fired into the previous city defense crossbow was instantly ignited. The terrifying fire instantly burned in the camp, devouring the lives of the soldiers in the camp.

If it was peacetime, Luo Zhong would definitely organize a large army to extinguish the fire. But now, Luo Zhong is not in the camp tent, and those generals all want to retreat, unless it is the generals who are engulfed in flames and shouting to extinguish the fire, the other generals hurriedly take this opportunity to leave through the other gate of the camp.

"Qi Jiguang is here, you won't be caught yet!"

Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army to wait here for a long time, and when these generals fled with their soldiers, at the sound of an order, the army pressed up and killed the enemy.
