Thinking about this clearly, Cao Xiong subconsciously shivered, and yelled at the generals on the left and right: "Don't be stunned, quickly release the rocket and burn the enemy's equipment!"

"My lord, since the Jin army thinks it is interesting to attack the cliff, let them fight it, anyway, it is they who are consumed, and it is not our army......" A wooden general said with a smile before he understood the situation.

Cao Xiong's face turned red with anger, raised his sword, and slammed the scabbard on the cheek of the wooden general, and at the same time roared angrily: "Can't you see that the Jin army is going to cause a landslide, and if you don't destroy the opponent's siege equipment, Crouching Tiger Pass will be in danger!"

After listening to Cao Xiong's words, the generals of the Mu army woke up like a dream, and they all gasped.

People raised their eyes to take a closer look, but isn't it, the trebuchet of the Jin army first shot the cliff full of holes, and then the impact of the stones made a large piece of gravel fall off, the cliff wall has been sunken inward into a large piece, the upper layer of the mountain stone gradually suspended in the air, if the Jin army is allowed to shoot like this, once the upper layer of the mountain stone breaks down, not to mention that the city wall of Crouching Tiger Pass is difficult to protect, even the internal barracks have to be implicated.

What a cunning Jin Army! The wooden generals trembled in their hearts and shouted one after another: "Release the arrows! Quickly release the rockets."

Under the repeated urging of the generals, Sergeant Mu hurriedly shot the rocket in his hand.

Listening to the sound of the snort, a layer of fire mist rose from the head of Crouching Tiger Pass, rushed into the sky, and then rained down from the sky like a rain of fire, overwhelmingly covering the Jin army's camp.

The other party will use rockets, which has been expected by the Jin army, but such a dense rocket and arrow array still makes everyone in the Jin army feel a chill in their hearts.

Jin Cheng and Song Yu ordered almost at the same time that the whole army would raise shields and defend against the arrow array.

At the mercy of the two of them. I saw the Jin army on the left and right, and a large number of soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx in front of the trebuchet, holding up their shields to block the rain of arrows coming from their backs.

The clanging sound of the crash joined in one piece, and countless arrows shot at the shield, bouncing off the ground. But there are also some arrows through the shield array, into the crowd, from time to time Jin sergeant hit the arrow and fall to the ground, in addition, the Jin army's shield array can not block all the flying arrows, there are still many over the shield array, on the trebuchet.

The catapults are all wooden, and once an arrow is hit, the burning pine on the rocket will quickly burn the catapult and the city-breaking crossbow. There was no water in the camp of the Jin army, so they could only wrap strips of cloth around spears or spears and slap the flames.

However, the arrow array of the wooden army was too strong and fierce, and many soldiers were hit by stray arrows when fighting the fire, and fell to the ground screaming, with flames on their bodies. Frightened, they retreated, and they retreated. The fire on the trebuchet that caught fire got out of control, and it didn't take long for the Jin army to burn several of its equipment.

Jin Cheng and Song Yu, who led the army, were angry and hateful, and the wooden people were too timid, cowardly and afraid of death, and they did not have the fierce and courageous temperament of the Jin people. Seeing that the trebuchet was hit by an arrow and caught fire, and one after another the trebuchet was burned down, both of them were anxious.

Song Yu directly brought the pro-soldier guards, urged the horse to step forward, and picked two retreating soldiers. At the same time, he shouted: "Those who dare to retreat from the battle will be killed!

Looking at the fierce Song Yu and the pro-soldiers and guards around him, the Jin soldiers grinned secretly, and could only return hard, resisting the rockets of the wooden army, and continued to fight the fire.

Jin Cheng on the other side did not use force, but he said very directly, if the trebuchets in the army were burned out, then the whole army would charge and go to hand-to-hand combat with the wooden army.

Crouching Tiger Pass is so steep, and the city wall is so high and solid, rushing up to do hand-to-hand combat is no different from sending it to death, the Jin sergeant would rather take the risk to put out the fire than go directly to charge, after listening to his words, the original Jin sergeant who was frightened by the wooden army's arrow array retreated again and again as if he had been beaten by someone, and they rushed back, regardless of the desperate slapping of the fire equipment to control the fire.

The army was shot by the arrows of the wooden army, and he did not fight back, but single-mindedly used large instruments to hit the cliffs on both sides of Crouching Tiger Pass. With the continuous impact of the wooden stakes and stones, the depression on the cliff wall is getting bigger and deeper, and the upper layer of the mountain stone has been completely suspended in the air, looking from the bottom to the top, the mountain stone seems to be far away, and there is a possibility of breaking down at any time.

If the army is attacking the city wall, the defenders in the pass can still repair and fill the damaged city wall in time, but the target of the attack is the cliff, and the defenders can't even save it.

The Fifth Legion fought bloodily in the front, and Lin Haotian, who was in the rear, was not idle, and after the Jin State spies found out the nearby water source, Lin Haotian ordered the entire army of the Third Army of the Heavenly Army to fetch water, and then transported it to the front battlefield as a fire extinguishment.

The 100,000 men of the Third Legion, as long as one person returned one helmet, was enough to extinguish the burning trebuchet several times back and forth.

The rockets of the Wooden Army were released more and more, but the fire of the Fifth Legion was getting smaller and smaller, and as the battle continued, gradually, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion also adapted to the arrow array of the Wooden Army.

The shield array in front is denser, more dripping, and the firefighters behind are also experienced in grabbing the gap of the opponent's arrow array, and collectively ran out of the firefighting, and immediately retreated after pouring a round of water, at this time the arrow array of the wooden army also arrived, and then came out to splash water to fight the fire after the arrow array passed, and then returned after the incident, so as to repeat, not only reduce casualties, but also better control the fire.

Above the city, Cao Xiong, who was watching the battle, frowned deeply, seeing that his rockets had little effect, and gradually did not pose much threat to the Jin army, but the cliff wall that was attacked had reached a precarious level, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked the generals on the left and right: "If this continues, we can't destroy the opponent's siege weapons at all, someone must go out of the city to fight, I don't know which general is willing to lead the army there?"

The wooden generals all bowed their heads silently to each other, and no one dared to speak.

The opponent has no less than 30,000 siegers on the left and right sides, and if he goes out of the city to fight and destroys all the trebuchets of the Jin army, how many troops will he have to bring? Even if he pulls out all the defenders of Crouching Tiger Pass, he may not be able to succeed!

Cao Xiong asked three times in a row, but no one dared to come forward.

Seeing this, Cao Xiong couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, and muttered: "The gold thieves invaded our land and killed our people...... Well, I'll fight this time!" As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "Prepare your horses!"

He is the head of the county, a civil official, not a military general, and he wants to fight in person, which is no different from going out to die.

The hatred and shame of the generals of the wooden army were aroused by Cao Xiong, and at the same time, several wooden generals stood up and intervened one after another, saying: "Kill chickens with a knife! My lord, the last general is willing to go out of the city and fight to the death with the enemy thieves!"

Cao Xiong knew that he was half a catty and eight taels, so it was okay for him to give advice, and he really went to the battlefield to charge and kill the enemy, he was the first to be killed, the reason why he wanted to fight in person, just pretentious, he nodded heavily to the few wooden generals who took the initiative to invite Ying, and said: "It's okay!"

After a pause, he cheered up and ordered in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiao and Ren Tong, two generals, I will give you five thousand elite soldiers, after leaving the city, rush to kill the enemy formation on the left, I don't care how many enemies you kill, but you must destroy all the trebuchets in the Jin army!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Zhang Xiao and Ren Tong both took the order, and then turned around and walked down the city, ordering troops to fight.

Then, Cao Xiong ordered again: "Liang Xin and Chen Ze, two generals, you bring 5,000 elite soldiers together to rush and kill the enemy formation on the right, as long as you destroy the enemy's trebuchet, you must not be greedy for war!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Xin and Chen Ze shouted loudly in unison, and both walked down the city.

Zhang Xiao and Ren Tong took the lead in taking 5,000 elite wooden soldiers out of the city and went straight to the Jin army on the left where Jin Cheng was.

Lin Haotian, who was watching the battle in the back with peace of mind, saw that the wooden army suddenly came out of the Crouching Tiger Pass, he was in high spirits, asked left and right with a smile, and said: "The wooden people don't know whether they are alive or dead, they dare to go out of the city to fight, which general is willing to go over and take the head of the enemy generals......"

Before he finished speaking, a person beside him rushed to Lin Haotian one by one, and shouted loudly: "The last general is willing to go!" (to be continued......)
