The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Biquge% www.biquge.info81
The defenders, who had the upper hand, were completely suppressed by the attacking side, and it was almost impossible to launch an effective counterattack.
Hu Yancong led his heroes to shoot feather arrows twice in a row, but they were ruthlessly crushed by their opponents. couldn't help but feel anxious, and a tumbling came to Zheng Ziming, roaring loudly: "Hurry up and make a killing move, what else have you not used, hurry up! Don't hide, the Youzhou army is crazy!"
Zheng Ziming waved the shield in his hand and blocked the stray arrows that shot at the two of them. frowned tightly, and responded quickly, "No, the reaction of the Youzhou Army is wrong!
"You don't care where Han Kuangmei's army goes? Just such a small number of people have already beaten us to the point that we have no power to fight back! If we all come, can we still get it?" I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Zheng Ziming, who was the commander-in-chief, actually had time to think about things outside the battlefield, Hu Yancong was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, "Take care of the front first, if you don't take out the killing move, Li Jiazhai will be broken!"
"They didn't bring a crash, and they didn't bring a ladder!" Zheng Ziming still seemed to be distracted, and the reply he gave was thousands of miles away from Hu Yancong's proposal.
"What are you talking about? They, they don't bring a ladder, can't they break your city wall without a ladder?" Hu Yancong heard this, became more and more angry, pushed Zheng Ziming hard, and reminded loudly. "What the hell are you thinking? Brothers, brothers are running out of action!"
"They didn't bring a ladder, and they didn't bring a crash!" Zheng Ziming held a shield in his right hand to protect himself, and grabbed Hu Yancong's wrist with his left hand, "Since they want to level Lijiazhai, they shouldn't not carry siege equipment." It is impossible to expect more than 2,000 people outside to defeat all the defenders in the stockade!"
"They didn't expect me to bring someone to help you!" Hu Yancong was taken away and continued to wave his arms and stomp his feet. However, after waving his arm twice, the third time he froze in mid-air.
Even if he didn't expect that he would lead the heroes of Taihang Mountain to help Zheng Ziming, as a veteran of the battlefield, Han Kuangmei should not just send two thousand Youzhou soldiers to count on them to destroy Li Jiazhai in one go. Especially in the case of Yelu Chi Dog and Ma Yanxu returning from defeat one after another, the surname Han should be more cautious and consider the weight of the opponent more seriously, and should never do the opposite.
Hu Yancong has also been a big leader in the green forest for many years, and he still has the basic strategic vision. I calmed down a little, and I immediately noticed the abnormality of my opponent.
It is impossible for the 2,000 Youzhou army to set foot on Lijiazhai, and at best, they will lose both. The tiger and the rabbit also need to go all out, and Han Kuangmei clearly has 16,700 troops under his command! Knowing that it is impossible to accomplish the tactical goal, he still only uses 2,000 soldiers and horses, what is the remaining 14,000 troops to do? He, where is he going to level Lijiazhai with one drum, he, he is obviously a strong man with a broken wrist!
"It's not good, the one surnamed Han is going to run!" The next moment, Hu Yancong jumped up violently and exclaimed in surprise.
All around, countless surprised eyes were immediately cast. Hu Yanzan, Hu Yanyun, and other soldiers of the Huyan family looked at the big leader who had never been in shape in embarrassment, and their faces were red, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ice to drill in.
They were all overpressed by the enemy and couldn't raise their heads, and they were still able to come to the conclusion that the other party wanted to run! This, this line of thinking, is not ordinary and special! The green forest of Taihang Mountain has not been tossed and scattered in the hands of the big boss for so many years, and it is really fortunate that it is extraordinary!
However, Hu Yancong turned a blind eye to the gaze around him. After stomping his feet a few times, he said with remorse: "It's late, it's late, Lao Tzu only sent someone to dispatch troops and horses yesterday afternoon." Han Kuangmei is running away now, how can Lao Tzu intercept him?"
The generals of Taihang Mountain, Li Shun'er, Tao Yong, and other township soldiers looked at the big leader of Huyan fiercely, and they really wanted to stuff a handful of snow into his neck and force him to regain consciousness. Only Zheng Ziming had no interest in refuting Hu Yancong's judgment, gritted his teeth, and roared loudly, "Come on, push the oil balls, push all the oil balls up." Prepare for a fire attack!"
"Push the oil ball! The inspector has an order, push the oil ball!"
"Push the oil ball! The inspector has an order, push the oil ball!"
"Push the oil ball! The inspector has an order, push the oil ball!"
"Pushing the Ball ......"
No matter how contemptuous Hu Yancong's views were, Li Shun'er, Tao Yong, Tao Dachun and others never doubted Zheng Ziming's judgment. When he heard the command, he immediately tore his throat and took the lead in repeating the contents over and over again.
"Hey, hard!" "Hey, hey, hard!" "Hey, hard!" When the other group of villagers, who had been hiding in the inner side of the ice city and almost rushed out of the horns, heard this, they immediately shouted a trumpet, and pushed more than forty half-human high, four-foot-square, oily balls wrapped in hay, flammable materials, and animal slabs onto the top of the city.
"Continue to push, aiming at the Youzhou guy below. Li Shun led a capital of soldiers, shielded everyone with shields and threw spears, and at the same time loudly conveyed Zheng Ziming's latest orders.
"Hey, hard!" "Hey, hey!" "Hey, hard!" the new recruits continued to shout loudly, risking being pierced by arrows or spears, pushing the butter balls to the ferry, and struggling to aim at the enemy shield wall outside the city.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The Youzhou army outside the city did not know the purpose of the oil ball, but instinctively sensed a hint of danger. They turned their horn bows and shot eagle feathers, and in the blink of an eye, the surface of each oil ball was filled with white feathers.
"Ignition ——!" Zheng Ziming personally took a torch and pressed it the nearest oil ball.
"Ignition ——!", "Ignition ——!", "Ignition ——!", and "......" The villagers repeated loudly, igniting all the oil balls.
Billowing smoke suddenly rose from the city, and the smell of burnt smell irritated people's eyes. "Follow me, prepare to push ——,!" Zheng Ziming rushed to a ball of oil with several soldiers, squatted down, pressed his hands on the lower part of the ball, and pressed upward. There were five or six hundred pounds of oil balls, slowly rolling upwards along the battlements that had long been broken, rolling, "booming", over the battlements, smashing to the ground, splashing up and down.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom......
In just one breath, more than forty oil balls were pushed down from the city one after another. First, a rain of fire splashed under the base of the city wall, and then, by inertia and the mountain, rushed down.
"Phew!" the first oil ball collided with the shield wall of the Youzhou Army, splashing a black cloud high. In the clouds, red smoke rolled, and countless sparks scattered and fell. More than a dozen Youzhou soldiers who were struggling to push their shields were caught off guard and were doused with sparks all over their faces. Suddenly, screaming and retreating, their hands struggling to slap on their bodies.
Before they could extinguish the spark on them, a second ball of oil whistled again. From the diagonal front, the broken shield wall was smashed into the ranks of archers who had been protected by the shield wall, and everywhere they passed, chickens and dogs jumped, smoke billowed and screams were endless.
"Bah!" "Bah!" "Bah"......
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth...... , more and more oil balls, colliding with the shield wall of the Youzhou army, lighting more fireheads and provoking even more noisy screams.
The Youzhou Army, which was still in order before, was completely stirred into a pot of porridge. Huge fireballs wrapped in smoke and red stars rolled around the crowd. If you are accidentally splashed on your body by a red star, you will become the prey of the Flame Tyrant, and the end will be miserable.
Because of the cold weather, most of the Youzhou soldiers are wearing leather armor at the moment. On the inside of the leather armor, a double lining sewn from linen cloth is padded, and between the two layers of linen cloth is covered with a thick layer of wool.
This kind of dress blocks the wind to the greatest extent, and also has the effect of hindering feather arrows, which can prevent the owner of the leather armor from being injured by stray arrows. However, this heavy leather armor could not stop the fire in the slightest. was splashed with the oil residue of the red star, and it burned in a blink of an eye. If the owner of the armor does not deal with it in time, it will soon be on fire all over his body.
"Ah——!" A Youzhou archer dropped his weapon and quickly untied his stumbling armor with both hands. Trying to take off the armor that was already on fire to avoid being burned alive. Before he could take off half of it, the outer layer of the leather armor had been burned through by fire. The wool inside was quickly ignited, and with a "whew!", the archer's upper body and leather armor were burned into a huge fireball!
"Roll on the ground!" someone shouted, rolling down the hillside. Trying to rely on the ice crust on the ground to extinguish the fire.
This method works quite well, at least slowing down the burning of the outer layer of the leather armor, and buying the owner some time to take it off. However, this method has completely disintegrated the originally precarious military formation.
One by one, the soldiers affected by the Mars lay down and tumbled down the ice. Panic and screams will spread in all directions. Soon, within fifty paces of the ice city, there were no soldiers in sight. A large number of Youzhou soldiers either jumped to dodge the oil balls, or rolled around on the ground with their heads in their hands, and no one had the energy to take care of the defenders at the head of the city.
"Retreat, retreat to 200 paces away first, first open up the distance from the enemy, and then put out the fire! Fool, fool! Don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it!" Han Kuang, who was 200 steps away from the ice wall and was overseeing the battle, was so angry that he was scolding loudly with a steel knife.
"Retreat, first retreat to a distance of 200 paces, open up the distance from the enemy, and then put out the fire! Fool, fool! Don't give the enemy a chance!" the soldiers tore their throats and repeated his order over and over again. However, the soldiers in front did not have the time to listen.
Whoever the fire burns on hurts, and those who stand in the distance and watch the battle can certainly take a good time. And they may be burned alive if they are half a beat slower.
"Supervising the team, supervising the team, hurry up and answer!" Han Kuangxian felt that his orders could not be implemented, so he hurriedly made adjustments. The tip of the knife pointed forward, asking Han Dewei to rush to the front line with the elite of the war, buying time for everyone to fight the fire.
Coach Han Kuangmei asked them to teach Zheng Ziming a lesson, not to let them withdraw if they were frustrated. They must regroup as soon as possible and fight to the end. Regardless of whether the commander's orders are understood or not.
However, they overestimated themselves and underestimated their opponents.
At the head of the city, Zheng Ziming grabbed a thick rope with his left hand, and raised the steel whip high with his right hand, "Brothers, follow me!
Before he could finish speaking, he had already jumped off the wall. Move your legs along the surface of the ice wall quickly, and at the same time use the rope in your left hand to relieve the momentum in the process of falling, one, two, three, four steps, suddenly the feet are hard, the legs squat quickly, and the body lands steadily.
"Kill the thief!" Kill the thief!" Kill the thief!" ...... Tao Dachun, Li Shun'er, Tao Yong, and all the Taojiazhuang soldiers also tightened their ropes and jumped off the city behind Zheng Ziming. The long and short weapons in his hands are held high and unstoppable.
"Kill the thief!" Kill the thief!" Kill the thief!" ...... Hu Yancong's father and son reacted a little slowly, but they quickly captured the fighter. also led the heroes of the green forest to tighten the ropes and pounced on the outside of the city one after another.
More than 1,500 people, divided into two waves before and after, rushed into the Youzhou army, which was in a mess. Like a tiger into a flock, like a boiling soup pouring snow.
