Chapter 608: Fire Attack
Shan Fei looked at the staggering soldiers and sneered: "With this ability, I still want to attack the Meridian Dao, it's really overwhelming. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: Π¨Π©Π©.(7)(9)XS.ΡΠΠ. β
The opposing soldiers were holding shields and kept approaching.
Although there are thistles on the ground, the soldiers of the Cao army are closing the distance little by little.
Fifteen steps!
Twelve steps!
Ten steps!
When the distance was reduced to ten paces, Solo Fei yelled, "Crossbowman, prepare." β
As soon as the order was given, a row of 100 crossbowmen stood up, lined up, set up a formation, and aimed at the Cao soldiers who were walking.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Solo flew the order, and the crossbowman immediately pulled the trigger.
These bows and crossbows are all transformed by Huang Yueying, with a long range and strong lethality.
The closer you are, the more lethal you are.
"Whew!"
The crossbow bolt broke through the air, and it was in front of the shield in an instant.
Bang!
The crossbow arrow hit the shield, and in an instant, it pierced the crossbow arrow and directly pierced the soldier behind the shield. The crossbow arrow pierced through the 'chest' and killed with one blow.
More than 100 crossbow arrows, all of which pierced the shield.
The first row of soldiers with shields fell to the ground.
The number of dead and wounded is innumerable.
The soldiers who had already 'approached' the Meridian Road were all cowardly, and they were 'forced' by the crossbow arrows to retreat step by step, and the formation was 'chaotic'.
Seeing this, Shan Fei sneered: "Just waiting for your formation to be 'chaotic'." β
Shan Fei suddenly took a large flag from the soldier's hand, and the big flag shook in the air.
In an instant, another hundred soldiers rushed out of the meridian road, all standing behind the soldiers with bows and crossbows. Behind each of them, they carried a five-foot-long javelin, and each of them had six javelins.
Solo Fei ordered: "Ready!"
The 100 soldiers were all armed with javelins, and then leaned back, and under the command of the solo flyer, all of them tightened their waists and exerted their strength.
A hundred javelins, 'shot' in an instant.
Compared to the close-range lethality of the crossbow arrow, the javelin slashed through the air and fell to the ground in an instant.
At this time, the 1,000 vanguard army under the command of Xiahou Yuan suffered an unprecedented crisis. On the one hand, there are bows and arrows, crossbow arrows and 'shooting' to kill the soldiers who are constantly 'approaching', on the other hand, there are thistles on the ground to pierce the feet, and finally there are javelins in the air to 'shoot'.
Front and back, left and right, are impossible to dodge.
The soldiers of the Cao army, who were attacking like a 'tide', had to retreat, and after a moment's effort, they had already retreated fifty paces away.
This distance is still within the attack range.
The 1,000-strong vanguard retreated again and again, and finally had to withdraw from the range of crossbow arrows and bows. But along the way, there was blood and corpses piled up.
A thousand soldiers, a third of which were lost.
When Xiahou Yuan saw this scene, his face was so angry that his face turned blue.
I thought I could easily defeat the other party and gain an advantage, but I didn't expect to encounter hard stubble.
"Archer!"
Xiahou Yuan saw that the soldiers could not charge, so he could only bring in archers.
The archers under Xiahou Yuan's command took action, quickly rushed forward, and then 'shot' at the soldiers under Shan Fei's command. Each side uses their shields to fend and then attack.
Under the cover of the archers, Xiahou Yuan once again sent soldiers to 'press' from both flanks.
Solo Fei calmly commanded, and after seeing it, he gave another order. I saw two hundred pikemen killed, and the two hundred pikemen were divided into two teams, one team of one hundred soldiers, and then each resisted the attacking Cao soldiers twenty steps away from the meridian road.
Due to the terrain, a hundred soldiers armed with spears happened to occupy the terrain advantage.
"Kill!"
The pikemen roared, spear after spear stabbed out.
The oncoming Cao soldiers met them, but even if there were many Cao soldiers, they could not give full play to the advantage of being numerous, and in the face of the attack of the pikemen, they were helpless at all, and they were beaten back in an instant.
The soldiers on both flanks attacked for a while, and finally failed again.
The soldiers on both wings retreated, and the archers were no longer necessary.
Xiahou Yuan had to temporarily order a retreat, and the army stopped three miles away. Xiahou Yuan sat in front of the military town, thinking about a solution. If you want to solve the Jingzhou army at the mouth of the meridian road, you have to put some effort into it.
"General, there is a suggestion below. β
Suddenly, a general came to Xiahou Yuan's side.
The person named Xiahou Ba is the second son of Xiahou Yuan, with outstanding ability and a fierce general in the army. In the army, Xiahou Ba never met Xiahou Yuan as a son, and the two only had a superior-subordinate relationship.
Xiahou Yuan said, "What do you suggest?"
Xiahou said domineeringly: "A few days ago, we attacked Liu Xiu, and we met Liu Xiu who burned it with tung oil. In this case, why don't we treat others in the same way, directly search for some tung oil, and then throw the tung oil at the mouth of the meridian valley, and then ignite it. The smoke of the fire will smoke the soldiers stationed in the valley and the fire will also disintegrate the fortifications of the Jingzhou army. In this way, it will be much easier for us to kill the past again. β
"Wonderful!"
After Xiahou Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up.
This strategy is really good, and it can be won without spending a single soldier.
Xiahou Yuan said: "Xiahou Ba, this matter is up to you, you immediately go to the neighborhood and search for tung oil." If you don't have one nearby, head back to the camp and get ready. β
"Yes!"
Xiahou Ba had a smile on his face, turned around and went down to prepare.
Xiahou Yuan temporarily stopped fighting and stopped attacking.
At the mouth of the meridian valley, Solo Fly ordered the soldiers to be stationed in place.
He returned to the meridian and checked the defense. A sentry came to Shan Fei and said, "General, Xiahou Yuan led the soldiers to camp three miles away, and at the same time sent a small group of soldiers in the direction of Baling. β
Shan Fei said: "It's okay, don't bother. β
"Yes!"
The sentinel received the order, turned around and retreated.
Solo Fei's eyes looked confident, and he had already thought about the defense of the Meridian Dao. He had already considered all the ways for the other party to attack the Meridian Dao.
In this battle, Xiahou Yuan could not have the slightest chance of winning.
Shan Fei waited quietly, and in the afternoon, the sentry came back to report, and Xiahou Yuan came again.
Solo Fei came to the outside of the meridian road and waited quietly.
Soon, the two sides lined up separately.
Xiahou Yuan came to the front of the formation, his eyes fell on the outside of the meridian road, and he shouted: "General Xiahou Yuan, give you another chance." Lay down your arms and surrender immediately, or Ben will show no mercy. β
Shan Fei said: "Xiahou Yuan, how old are you? Ben will be waiting here, and it's up to you to take the Meridian Dao. β
Xiahou Yuan said: "Shameless!"
Shan Fei said: "Don't measure yourself, take your own humiliation." β
Xiahou Yuan listened to Shan Fei's words, and his face was so angry that he directly ordered: "Xiahou Ba, prepare to 'shoot' the clay pot." β
"The last general obeys!"
When Xiahou Ba heard this, he immediately took action.
Behind Xiahouba, hundreds of soldiers walked up. In each soldier's hand, there is a clay pot that is not too big or small. Xiahou Ba led the soldiers forward, gradually less than fifty steps away from the meridian road.
"Throw, shoot!"
Xiahou Ba ordered, and everyone under his command threw out the clay pot in their hands.
"Boom!"
A clay pot fell to the ground with a thud and shattered on the ground.
Crash!
The tung oil in the clay pot flowed out with a bang.
"Boom!boom!!"
Successive voices rang out one after another.
Hundreds of clay pots filled with tung oil flowed on the ground, making the ground soaked in countless tung oil.
"Withdraw!"
After Xiahou Ba did all this, he retreated with his soldiers.
Returning to the front of the military formation, Xiahou Yuan ordered: "Archers prepare." β
After this order was given, soldiers came out with bows and arrows. Each of the feathered arrows ignited, and the arrows crackled and burned, and the fire shone brightly, revealing a hint of crimson light.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Xiahou Yuan ordered, and the soldiers under his command immediately released arrows.
"Whoa!"
Feathered arrows slashed through the air, and in an instant, they fell to the ground, and the flames came into contact with tung oil. In an instant, it was ablaze. In particular, the place of burning is at the exit of the meridian road, which is the location of the tuyere.
In an instant, the flames were connected.
In the countless fires, billowing smoke came out, rushing towards the entrance of the Meridian Road.
When Shan Fei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth rose. As the commander-in-chief stationed at Taniguchi, he naturally expected the possibility of being attacked by fire and smoke.
Xiahou Yuan thought that he could win by attacking with fire, that was really naΓ―ve.
