Chapter 771: With the help of the gods
Loulan country, outside the mud city.
Under the scorching sun, the Gobi Desert is like roasting on a stove, and the scorching heat wave sweeps every inch of land, making people breathless.
"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”
In the yellow sand, the Persian army once again launched an attack on this ill-fated city.
For several months, the Persians besieged the city from time to time, but they could not take it for a long time.
Compared with the Persians, who did not lack food and drink, the soldiers and civilians in the city were even more miserable.
Although there is no situation of eating in the mud city, there is already a large shortage of water, and many people in Loulan have begun to be dizzy with hunger, and their faces are yellow and thin.
It was in such a difficult environment that the Wu army led by Wu Ming, as well as more than 1,000 soldiers of the Loulan army, resisted stubbornly and stubbornly repelled several attacks by the Persians.
"Prepare for battle!"
Seeing that the Persians were attacking again, Wu Ming personally ascended to the top of the city, holding the battlement with one hand, and giving orders there.
Above the city, the soldiers with dry lips and unkempt hair all clutched the weapons in their hands, looked at the huge enemy outside the city, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.
Compared with the soldiers of the Wu army, who were quite calm, the defenders of Loulan Kingdom were already so frightened that their faces turned pale, and their bodies couldn't stop trembling.
Fear!
In the hearts of each of them, there is an emotion called "fear".
Once this sentiment spreads, it will have irreversible consequences.
Fortunately, in every battle to defend the city, the soldiers of the Wu army who rushed to the front line were basically soldiers.
Otherwise, if these soldiers of the Loulan Kingdom are allowed to charge into battle, it is inevitable that the formation will be in chaos, and they will end up with the city ruined and killed.
As far as the eye can see, outside the huge mud city, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and a large number of black and oppressive heads are constantly surging in the direction of the city wall.
They wore leather armor and robes, and held round shields in their hands, and some of the Persian soldiers were even shirtless, revealing their strong tendons......
These people, in the eyes of the soldiers of Wu State, have become a group of "wild men" crowned by monkeys.
Except that the figure is more robust than that of the Wu people, there is nothing remarkable in other aspects.
In terms of height, the overall comprehensive height of the Wu people is higher than that of the Persians!
"Mr. Müller, please pass the word for me."
Wu Ming set his sights on Mueller.
"Okay."
Mueller was puzzled, but agreed.
Müller once served as an official in the Achaemenid Dynasty and was responsible for envoys to the state of Wu, but he was impressed by the prosperity of Chinese culture and was entrusted with important tasks by Qingji.
This time, Mueller joined Wu's westbound caravan, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by the Persians.
It stands to reason that with Muller's reputation and status, he could surrender directly to the Persians, and he did not have to continue to stay in this mud city and take risks.
However, Müller admired Chinese culture and was loyal to the state of Wu, and felt a great dislike for the treacherous and aggressive Persians......
In this battle, no matter what the result is, Mueller will choose to live and die with the Wu people in the city!
"Boom!"
In the phalanx of the Persians, a large chariot team was killed.
In the cover of the yellow sand, the hooves of the horses are chaotic, and the chariots are galloping.
In a short time, the Persian chariot team had rushed to a place not far from the mud city.
It's just a few dozen steps away!
Wu Ming, who was silently estimating the distance in his heart, immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Release!" ”
With Wu Ming's order, the soldier Wu, who had long been ready to go, immediately threw off the rope in his hand, and one end of the rope was tied to the altar.
"Hugh Hugh!"
More than 30 jars were thrown out and fell on the yellow sand, clattering and shattering.
The oil in the jar was then spilled on the ground.
Wu Ming immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at the place where the oil was poured, and then with a "whoosh", an arrow was shot.
"Boom!"
The moment the rocket came into contact with the oil oil, it burst into flames.
"Ahh
"Chirp—"
People are screaming, horses are wailing.
The wooden chariot was instantly set ablaze by the fire.
The frenzied horses spread their hooves and slammed around.
The Persian soldiers, who were burned to the point of inhuman appearance, rolled all over the ground and were burned alive......
This tragic scene made the Persians behind them stop and feel afraid.
After a long time, when the Persians regrouped, Wu Ming soaked an arrow with a missing arrow in an urn full of poison, and motioned to Muller beside him to shout to the Persians.
"Hugh!"
"Poof!"
Wu Ming pulled the iron-tired hard bow and shot an arrow a hundred paces away, hitting a Persian.
The Persian let out a wail and fell from his chariot.
At this time, Wu Ming was holding the battlement with one hand, and laughed: "Mr. Muller, shout!" ”
"This is the Great Wu Divine Arrow, and something strange will happen to those who are hit by the arrow!"
Mueller shouted in Persian as Wu Ming had ordered.
This left the Persians more or less confused.
However, the Persian soldier who was shot by Wu Ming's arrow ended up extremely miserable.
He saw the blood boiling from the wound and couldn't help but panic.
Could it be that this is really the "Great Wu Divine Arrow"?
At that moment, the wind blew fiercely and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
It seems to confirm what Wu Ming said, "Kachacha", accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning, purple and blue lightning pierced the dome.
"Rain! It's raining! ”
"Strange thing! Strange! Loulan doesn't know how long it hasn't rained! It looks like it's going to be a rainstorm! ”
The Persians outside the city couldn't help but panic.
Wu Ming, who was looking at the opportunity, showed a kind of evil aura between his eyebrows, and waved his big hand: "Pass my order!" All the soldiers of Wu Kingdom, go out of the city with me to kill the enemy! ”
"General Wu, the Persians outside the city, but there are tens of thousands of people......"
Mueller wanted to dissuade Wu Ming.
However, Wu Ming just waved his hand and said, "Mr. Muller, I am not as good as you in learning." But in war, you are not as good as me! ”
"The king once said that the best defense is offense!"
"There is a storm at this time, and God helps me! The Persians outside the city, in my Wu Ming's opinion, are nothing more than a bunch of local chickens and dogs! ”
"Kill!"
Wu Ming then boarded the car, personally led nearly 1,000 Wu army soldiers, out of the city to kill the enemy's formation, all the way to the left and right to kill, as if into no one's land!
The combat effectiveness of the Wu army is very strong.
Especially the soldiers of the Wu army in the westbound caravan, all of them are elite soldiers!
You can fight ten elite soldiers!
After a while, the originally powerful Persian army was defeated by Wu Ming's thousand elite soldiers of the Wu State, and suffered heavy casualties.
For the Wu army that suddenly came out, the Persians were caught off guard.
Coupled with the strong combat power displayed by the Wu army, as well as the sudden storm, this made the Persians tremble and be extremely frightened.
"The Wu people have the help of the gods! Remove! Fall back! ”
As a last resort, the Persians had no choice but to retreat and avoid the edge for the time being.
