Chapter 293: Fire Scheme, Zhu Wen Chou
Xiangyang, outside the North City Gate.
Wen Chou personally led the horse to arrive,
I saw a general shouting at the head of the city: "Outside the city, under the command of Duke Yuan, General Wen Chouwen!" β
"Exactly, what's the situation in the city!"
Wen Chou carried the steel gun and answered.
"The family in the city is leading the dead soldiers to defeat the Chu army, and I hope that General Wen will quickly enter the city to quell the rebellion!" The general shouted, and then shouted to his men: "Open the gates quickly!" β
Immediately, the heavy gates slowly opened.
Wen Chou did not doubt that he had him, pointed his spear, and roared angrily: "Kill, all the Chu army, don't count killing." β
Immediately, he led the personal guards in front, behind the iron cavalry, and behind the foot soldiers, a total of more than 3,000 people, and the momentum was good.
And in the blink of an eye these people rushed into the city,
"Where is the Taishou Mansion?" Wen Chou asked.
"General, just go with him." The general pointed to one of the people who were waiting.
Immediately, Wen Chou didn't think much about it, the man rode in front, Wen Chou led his troops to follow, watching them leave, and the one on the city hooked the corners of his mouth,
Sure enough, as Xu Shu said, the courage of a man is not worth mentioning, thinking about the problem is too simple, this kind of person deserves not to live long.
As all the Wen Chou army rushed to the Taishou Mansion, the general immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and at the same time let the crossbowmen at the head of the city be on standby, and what was needed to do this time was to eat this army of soldiers and horses.
Wen Chou galloped, but looking at the surrounding houses, he couldn't help frowning, he always felt that these houses were wrong, but he couldn't say the problem for a while,
Realisation alone!
And at this moment, the person leading the way in front of him disappeared after a turn, which made Wen Chou's heart tremble, and he had a bad premonition.
"Phew!"
The horses stood in place.
But at this moment, countless arrows rained out in the houses along the road on both sides, and then countless archers appeared on the roof of the houses.
Almost instantly, the rain of arrows directly permeated.
"Damn, it's a trick, hurry, get out!" Wen Chou's heart is broken, this is obviously an ambush.
As he spoke, he kept waving the spear in his hand, picking off the arrows, and he simply wore two layers of armor, and some arrows were fine as long as they didn't hit the vital point.
"Phew!"
Countless horses tried to turn around, but more and more knights were shot off their horses.
"General, behind, there is the Chu army behind!" The general brandished his sword and shouted in surprise as he pointed at the Chu army blocking the road behind.
Wen Chou gritted his teeth, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, fell into deep thought, and immediately said: "Rush, rush out, otherwise they will all die here!" β
With such a long bow and arrow layout, rushing from the back to the front, there will be more casualties, but at the moment it is too difficult to break through from behind, and it is very likely that the whole army will be annihilated.
Immediately, Wen Chou beat the horse and fought bravely.
Behind him, more than 700 iron horsemen had already shot 100 people, slapping their horses hard and following behind Wen Chou.
"Up!"
A shout rang out.
Wen Chou saw that the road instantly pulled out a stumbling rope, some of which were directly on the side of the horse's legs, I am afraid that there were no less than a dozen, Wen Chou was frightened,
Lift the reins and cross a tripline.
Then the spear pointed forward, and picked at the tripwire in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Break it for me!" β
Almost at the same time, the soldiers on both sides screamed, directly picking up the tripping rope, but at this moment, there were countless screams of war horses behind him,
Often the horse's hooves were tripped up, and the knight was planted directly from the warhorse, and if he did not die, he was almost crippled.
Wen Chou was anxious, and the spear kept waving to block those arrows, and even his cheeks were already bloodied, and an arrow had been shot on his calf.
"Get up and rush out with me!"
Wen Chou roared, trying to break through the other tripwires, but this time he didn't succeed, and there was another arrow at the forearm, which directly pierced the forearm.
The pain that permeated him made him gasp.
"General, if you can't rush out, it's better to avoid the houses on both sides, so that you can guard against enemy arrows, and then rush out in one go."
The adjutant general saw that more and more soldiers were being shot behind him, and he was anxious, because their position was to find these archers, and the speed was too slow.
And it's too easy for people to condescend to kill them.
Wen Chou grinned and gasped, seeing that the lying war horses were covering the streets, and it was very slow to rush out, and it seemed that there could be no army in front of him.
"Rush into the houses on both sides and wait for the order to break through!" Wen Chou roared behind him, more than 3,000 people, this meeting has already died tragically, and the smell of blood is strong.
"Kill !!"
The soldiers let out a desperate roar and rushed towards the houses on both sides, many of which were shooting arrows, which stimulated their desire to survive.
Bang, bang!
The doors of one house after another were kicked open, and only the sound of fighting was heard in the house, and often after paying a few casualties, the Chu army in the house could be resolved.
Among them, Wen Chou also rushed into a house.
There were many corpses of Chu Jun lying in the house, but Wen Chou was leaning against the wall and panting, his calves and forearms were bitten by arrows, and he was grinning in pain.
Grabbing a rag and stuffing it into his mouth, he broke the arrow and cut off the other side, his cheeks turned white and his whole body trembled in pain.
"General, what now?" The generals stood on the windowsill, looking nervously, now that they were surrounded, it was too difficult to break out of the encirclement.
After all, there were more than 3,000 people in the battle, and it is estimated that one-third of them have died tragically.
Wen Chou gritted his teeth, pondering in his heart, he was thinking about what went wrong, could it be that Cai Mao did not mean to surrender?
Otherwise, how could the city be tightly arranged, and how could the city guards let people bring them here, if this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the thousands of soldiers outside their own city are also...
Thinking of this, Wen Chou only felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
The group of civil servants under his lord's command swore that Cai Mao could definitely be trusted, but now? That Cai Mao pushed him into the abyss with one hand.
"Damn it!" Wen Chou pounded the wall angrily.
ββββ
At the same time, on the Han River.
The boats were fighting for the crossing, carrying countless Yuan troops, who were not aware of the danger at all, but were full of interest and wanted to hurry up to the other side to make a contribution.
On the warship, Cai Mao's eyes narrowed.
Immediately let the flag bearer raise the flag, and almost at the same time, all the fighting ships, ships, and sailors had their hearts, and all kinds of fire oil were poured on the flammable places, and then ignited.
In addition to burning the ship, some even smashed a gap in the inside of the ship in order to speed up the burial of these people, so that the river water poured back and accelerated the sinking of the ship.
In just a moment, the ships sprang out of the Mars.
"What's the situation, where did the fire come from!" On the deck, Yuan Jun let out a panic.
"Quick, put out the fire!"
"Damn it, all the boats are on fire!"
"It's Cai Mao, Cai Mao is a traitor!" Someone regained his strength and shouted angrily.
However, some of the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan who followed Cai Mao's warship were killed one after another and thrown into the river.
However, because the ship deliberately brought a lot of flammable materials, for a while, the fire was fierce and soon spread, and almost all the ships were blazing.
And the crew members on the ship also jumped into the river before the fire, and quickly swam towards the boat arranged by Cai Mao, these people are very good in water.
On the contrary, Yuan Shao's northern army was almost all northerners, and few were proficient in water.
"Quick, jumpy!"
"I, I can't swim!"
There were all kinds of panicked voices, all in one.
However, during the engulfment of the fire, these people all jumped into the river, and those who couldn't swim struggled desperately into the water, without any rules, and a few who could swim couldn't change the situation of the battle.
Gradually, more and more people sank to the bottom of the river, leaving behind one burning ship after another, and the few who could swim were often shot.
On the shore, when a few Yuan Jun found out about this scene, they instantly lost their minds, some wanted to run quickly, and some thought about how to cross the river to tell Wen Chou the news.
Some also think about how to take these thousands of war horses away.
However, just when these people were hesitating, they killed a group of Chu troops in the distance, so that they were so frightened that these hundreds of people did not dare to stay, and immediately fled on horseback.
His life was almost gone, and he didn't dare to care about those war horses.
Of course, the Chu army did not have iron horses, and they could not stop these iron horses in such a flat plain, so they could only watch these iron horses flee with their noses down.
But those war horses are all by the river,
In addition to the more than 700 horses transported across the river, nearly 7,000 war horses, these are all good horses in Youzhou, Wuhuan and other places, and this capture can make up for the disadvantage of the Chu army in cavalry.
As for the south bank, the hundreds of people left behind were angry, frightened, and discussed, some surrendered, and some ran wildly towards Xiangyang, wanting to inform Cai Mao of the news of his rebellion.
However, all of these people were shot under the city of Xiangyang.
On the warship, looking at the warships burning on the river, and looking at the seven thousand warhorses under control on the north bank, Cai Mao smiled, and this Yuan Shao's conspiracy ended like this.
Countless coup d'Γ©tat people died,
And his Cai family is destined to be an evergreen.
And he has made great contributions in this battle, but he doesn't know how Chu Feng will reward himself, this sister should be clear, but when he asked Cai's later, he was reprimanded by her.
The purpose is to put him in the right position,
Military merits are reserved for those generals, and his Cai family is still a relative, if he competes too much for military merits, the result will be death, and he will give up when he hears this.
No way, the relatives are more powerful than any general.
ββββ
In the city, in the house.
Wen Chou was at a loss, the tip of his nose twitched, and in addition to the strong smell of blood in the air, he seemed to smell a smell of saltpeter sulfur again.
In an instant, he seemed to think of something.
"It's not good, there is saltpeter hidden in the house, and the Chu army wants to attack it with fire!" Wen Chou got up and shouted urgently, but at this moment, one after another arrows fell, all of them rockets.
And when these arrows hit the thatched hut, they ignited instantly.
Wen Chou looked at the top of his head in despair, his every step was in the calculation of the enemy general, he felt like a fool, and he would only be incompetent and furious.
"General, what should I do now!"
The general drew his sword with a look of trepidation, and the rest of the house was nervous, and the fire burned so that they would be reduced to ashes in a moment at most.
"Get out, get out of the city with me!"
Wen Chou raised his gun and roared, perhaps rushing out of the city was his last chance of life.
"Kill!!"
The soldiers all over him also roared.
Rushing into the street, I saw that all the houses on both sides were ignited by fire arrows, and in the middle of the street, the temperature was extremely high, and it was still not completely burned at this moment.
And most of the Yuan Jun who avoided the house had already come out, and seeing Wen Chou leading the team, they had a little more confidence, and Wen Chou did not hesitate, and immediately shouted:
"Brothers, rush out with me, or you will surely die!"
After shouting, he dragged his spear and led nearly two thousand people to run wildly in the direction of the city, and along the way, the raging fire in the houses on both sides became more and more intense, and some people were roasted.
They had no choice but to rush out.
However, if you want to kill it, you need to face the tight military formation not far away, these people are on one knee in the first row, half crouching in the second row, and standing upright in the third row.
No one has a crossbow in their hand,
The number of people is not large, only a hundred, but the crossbow arrows held by some people made Wen Chou's heart tighten, and he thought of the Chu army's big killing weapon, the crossbow.
It is said that this thing pulls and shoots once, and it only needs to be reloaded after ten shots, unlike other crossbows that shoot an arrow and reload once, this kind of small-scale combat is an artifact.
Just when Wen Chou fantasized that it was not a repeater, the opposite side began to pull the button, and in an instant, countless crossbow arrows directly covered it, and the first, second, and third rows took turns shooting crossbow arrows.
A crossbow curtain was directly formed!
In an instant, the soldiers around him fell to the ground in response, almost harvested in pieces, and Wen Chou grabbed a dead body, so he was not shot directly.
He underestimated the enemy, carelessly, and led the light cavalry to advance.
The light cavalry did not have a shield at all, which is why it was such a miserable defeat.
"Resist, use the corpses of dead soldiers as cover, rush up for me, and kill those fools!" Wen Chou roared, he knew that he couldn't rush over with the arrow.
It's just that the arrows are harvested too fast.
So that the front row just fell, and the back row just wanted to catch it, and was shot again, and so on.
But a moment later, many people in the front row had already carried the corpses forward, and all those arrows were shot into these corpses, covering the people behind.
can quickly approach, which makes Wen Chou see the light.
"Hmph, naΓ―ve!"
Wen Ping raised his hand and directly asked the team of crossbows to be withdrawn.
Immediately afterwards, there were countless spearmen arrayed, and the sharp spears were nearly two feet long, and in such a narrow place, the spear phalanx was too easy to play.
"Kill me, don't leave a single one!"
Wen Ping shouted angrily, and those spearmen stepped forward neatly, and they only needed to stab and smash the group of soldiers.
At the same time, Wen Ping asked the archers to line up behind the array, and the bows and arrows were full of strings, and began to cover the streets in the distance.
Wen Chou saw that the crossbow was withdrawn, he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at those spears, he let out a roar, the last chance, he had to take the lead, and immediately dragged the spear and rushed forward.
"Break it for me!"
Wen Chou wielded a spear, and his bravery was extraordinary.
Swinging countless spears in a row, and even slashing and killing more than a dozen people tightly, but after all, he was seriously injured, his arm strength was not as good as before, and his movement was inconvenient.
So much so that in the process of fighting, he was also stabbed by many spears, and more and more, and the soldiers behind him tried their best to help, but it was still useless.
Looking at the spears, Wen Chou felt that his arms were getting heavier and heavier, he couldn't swing them anymore, he was ashamed of his brothers, he buried them.
Poof!
A spear pierced his arm,
Then, one by one spears pierced his body, the spears fell, Wen Chou was directly raised, and he was stabbed into a hedgehog alive, and the famous general of Hebei also fell!
