Chapter 471: The Power of the Barrel Arrow, Fixing the Battle Situation [Asking for Votes]

The city of the plateau.

After the Han army rushed in, they engaged in fierce street battles with the defenders in the small city.

Taking advantage of the defensive advantage, the Parthian army stood at the head of the city, condescending, and fired arrows in succession.

However, the armor on the Han army's body, the secret pattern flowed, and the light of the round shield in his hand was connected, and at the same time of defense, he used a bow and crossbow to fire quickly, launch counterattacks and fire suppression, and seize a favorable position.

Yao Zhao, Chen Qing and others looked for an opportunity to rush to the city.

On the ground, a throwing spear, with a thunderous sound, shot at Yao Zhao, and was dangerously pushed away by him with a Han knife.

Chen Qing, who was beside him, took advantage of the opportunity that the throwing gun was moved by Yao Zhao, and the speed was slightly slow, grabbed it out, and immediately held the gun in his hand.

With the help of inertia, he turned around and threw the spear splitter and fired back at one of the opposing generals.

And Yao Zhao's body swayed slightly, and he took the opportunity to rush forward, blocking the spear stabbed by the Parthian army with his arm shield, and entered the enemy formation.

Seeing that the Han army was about to rush into the city in a steady stream, Kui Demi at the head of the city, and the god of war in his hand, overflowed with a halo of lightning, as if echoing with the temple of war in the capital of Parthia thousands of miles away.

In the bodies and bodies of the Parthian tribes, there is a power that is awakened and raised, as if blessed by the gods.

The deity in Kui's hand flew up and landed at the broken gate.

Around the city gate, earth and rocks surged, and the gods gathered to form a yellow-brown barrier like a giant shield of war, trying to re-seal the city gate.

If the city gate can be blocked, you can take advantage of the city defense and eat the Han army that entered the city first, and there is still a chance to win.

Kui Demi's voice resounded throughout the city: "The city gate has been blocked by me, first kill the enemy troops who enter the city, and then break the ...... outside the city"

Before he finished speaking, outside the city, there seemed to be a huge shadow of a god bear as big as a mountain, shrugging his shoulders and crashing into the city!

The ferocious power of that god bear is as heavy as a mountain!

Huo Qubing didn't have much interest in making a move, but if the city gate was re-blocked, the Han army would inevitably increase the useless consumption, so he sacrificed the Divine Bear Talisman.

Bang –

The gates, filled by the gods, seemed to have been smashed down by a mountain, and they dissipated with a bang, and even the walls of the city were full of cracks.

At the head of the city, in the shadow behind Kuttmi, a ghostly figure with four arms outstretched appeared.

It was Bai Nanyu's Enma technique, attacking and killing it.

Outside the city, more Han troops poured into the city.

The soldiers and horses of Han and Parthia, inside and outside the city, fought fiercely.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the defenders of the city suffered heavy losses and were about to be lost.

"Why haven't there been reinforcements yet?"

In the Parthian palace, there were ministers who asked anxiously.

Every second counts, and every breath seems extraordinarily long.

The holy spear in the hand of the Parthian lord glowed, and another picture of divine power was differentiated in front of him.

In that picture, it was the Parthian light cavalry that appeared riding their horses with all their might, and only seven or eight miles away from the city on the plateau.

Suddenly, hundreds of black dots fell from the sky and threw themselves at the Parthian tribes as they marched.

The ministers watching the battle in the hall were in an uproar: "There is an enemy attack. ”

"Where did a Han army come from, ambushing us halfway?"

In the divine power screen, a Han army of about 1,000 people appeared, launching an offensive against the 6,000 troops supported by Parthia.

The Han army, every two or three people, set up a bronze pipe on the ground that was close to the thickness of a thigh, and the formation patterns on it flowed.

They lay dormant about two hundred feet from the Parthian march, and threw into the brass tubes a spherical bronze creation.

Inside the copper pipe, a flame tail burst out like a flame.

Hundreds of bronze spheres were projected and fell among the Parthian soldiers and horses who came to the rescue.

Thunder clashed like a loud bang, one after another.

The copper ball that landed exploded, and the small arrows sealed inside shot indiscriminately in all directions, like dozens of bows and crossbows firing in a dense salvo.

When hundreds of these arrows burst out together and landed in the queue of cavalry galloping, the indiscriminate destructive power caused can be imagined.

The copper ball shot from the barrel arrow, with the help of the catapult and formation pattern, is even more powerful than the crossbow arrow.

The copper ball is full of arrow-shaped, bullet-like small arrows, and there is a high probability that it can penetrate the armor at close range.

Thousands of horses and horsemen fell in pieces.

This is Chiguoguo's equipment and fire suppression.

The formation of the 6,000 troops was completely chaotic in a dozen breaths.

They fled in all directions, trying to find cover and protection as best they could, but the fire barrel arrows exploded over a wide area and there was almost nowhere to escape.

The devastating force, the arrows that rained down like a natural disaster, the ubiquitous sharp sound in the air, and the roar that made the earth tremble, pushed the Parthian army into great fear and helplessness.

The horses that fell to the ground pulled each other, and chaos abounded.

"It's a pity that there are too few arrows, this barrel of arrows is only about 300 pieces, if only there were more."

It was the old prime minister who came to the surprise attack with more than a thousand Han troops.

Beside him was the stocky pro-military captain Qi Sheng, and another lieutenant, Liu Zhao.

Boom Boom!

The Fire Bucket Arrow spewed a halo six times in succession, each time about five to ten breaths apart.

In the era of cold weapons, it takes a relatively long time to adjust if you want to readjust and organize a counterattack from a horse.

And before they can fight back, there will be a second wave of blows.

After six rounds, the small half of the Parthia had been wounded by arrows, and most of the rest were in disarray.

Huan Qisheng and another lieutenant, Liu Zhao, waved their hands at the same time, and said: "Kill it, Master Hou said that the battle will be annihilated, and all will be annihilated!" ”

Fifteen hundred forbidden troops turned on their horses and rushed to the battlefield.

Gongsun Hong actually rushed up.

Huo Qubing deliberately let him follow the addiction of the war rush, because this is a must-win ambush.

The power of the fire bucket arrow, put into the battlefield for the first time, in the case of lack of defense, how much lethality it can cause, Huo Qubing was sure of the result before the battle, and he knew it in his heart.

This time, too, the new weapon was being tested in real combat.

The capital of the country, the royal palace.

Silent.

After a while, the minister trembled: "What kind of weapon is the flaming thing they use?" ”

"This Han army, the picture we can see is too blurry, and we didn't see in advance that they had separated another ambush army."

"They were separated from the divine power picture before, and they separated from the people."

“……”

As the other ministers spoke, Utis frowned.

The brass shaped weapon gave him a huge shock.

He had been in battle for a long time, and he knew at first sight how terrible this weapon was.

Even Mithridati's face flashed with horror.

Human beings usually have a great fear of the unknown, and the higher the authority, the deeper the feeling of the person who controls everything.

Because there is no understanding of the consequences of the unknown.

"The other side has a weapon that is more powerful than our crossbows, and the speed of bombs is faster than that of the best trebuchet." Some ministers said miserably.

"Summons Ars to evacuate." Mithrida said astringently.

————

The sun was shining brightly, and it was nearly noon.

The city of Nordary.

Wei Qing took out the concentric lotus leaf, and a message appeared on it, which was from Huo Quai.

And Wei Qing realized that the battle situation had changed earlier, according to the situation that Ars suddenly stopped attacking the city outside the city and the whole army retreated.

The Han army in the city received the order in advance and was ready to go.

After receiving the news of Huo Quai, Wei Qing ordered the city gate to be opened, and the Han army immediately rushed out.

Outside the city, Ars's soldiers and horses have been evacuated to the city of the plateau.

Halfway through the way, they joined up with the 2,000 heavy horsemen advancing behind the 6,000 light horsemen, and saw the tragic condition of the 6,000 light horsemen who were ambushed.

In the distance, there was a sky-high fire.

The Han army broke through the city of the plateau, not to occupy the city, but to sabotage.

They used the fire oil and rockets they had prepared in advance to burn the city of the plateau, including their grain, grass, and supplies.

Parthia's food shortage has not been alleviated since the white stone burst its banks, causing floods.

Later, they raised food from more western countries and supported the subsequent war, trying to seize the initiative in the war.

But since then, the Han army has engaged it several times, and has always focused on the weakness of Parthia's lack of food, seizing every opportunity to attack its logistics.

Whether it is Huo Quzhi or Wei Qing, they are all targeting the weakness of Parthia's lack of food.

At this moment, the city of the plateau was set on fire again, burning its grain and grass materials.

And arson is also the simplest and most direct means of combat.

In the royal palace, when he saw the city of the plateau on fire, even Mithridates' face turned pale.

The Han army seized on their shortcomings, bit them to death and did not let go, and went to greet them with food.

Without food, an army of millions of dollars cannot be converted into combat effectiveness.

On the battlefield, Ars listened to the secret news through the war horn, and the Minister of War Misituo brought him the latest news: go quickly, directly abandon the city of the plateau, and withdraw to the city of Tege further west.

The battle situation has begun to tilt, if they are entangled by the Han army, Wei Qing and Huo Qu will be pressed up from the front and back.

Als's team is bound to usher in a big defeat.

But Ars wanted to leave, and it was too late.

Wei Qing, who was in the rear, personally commanded the troops to chase after him faster than everyone expected, and approached quickly.

The faint sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and the ground was jumping on the gravel.

If you want to leave at this time, you will be chased by the Han ranks, and you will be beaten all the way, and you won't even have a chance to adjust to meet the battle!

Als made a quick decision.

Fight to the death!

"I, the Parthians, are a race favored by God, and never fear war! We have survived on this land for hundreds of years, and any opponent who comes to attack will be defeated by us.

Parthia, god of war! Parthia, god of war! ”

The cry of the god of war gave the Parthian people infinite courage.

They collide with swords and shields, prompting the will to fight.

In the city of the plateau, Huo Quai's subordinates fought with the Parthian defenders.

In the wilderness, the armies of Ars and Wei Qing also started a confrontation.

Ctesiphon, royal palace.

The rapid collapse of the situation led Mithridates to make a difficult decision.

"Promise me the nations west of Parthia to ask for the city at the mouth of the Loqu River, but let them exchange it for food."

"The ...... of the Lord"

Mithridati waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, and when the Han army is forced to retreat, we will get back what we lost."

Compared with the country to the west claiming the city of the estuary, the war in front of us is a struggle of life and death! ”

Utis said: "Lord, I ask to meet the Han army again!" ”

"Okay, except for the troops left behind in the royal capital, you can't move, bring all the soldiers and horses. I will push the divine power and bless you! ”

On this day, Mithridates, the lord of Parthia, successively handed down orders.

Bhutto of the city of Nissa, also took the opportunity to break through the siege in the evening of this day and completely abandoned Nisa, the former capital of Parthia.

Bhutto led 30,000 defenders to rush out of the city and confront the evil king's troops guarding outside the city.

The two sides fought until night, and Bhutto fought and left, paying the price of nearly 8,000 elites, and broke out.

Outside the city of Nordyari, the battle between the Han army and Parthia lasted until nightfall.

Huo Quai's troops from the city of the plateau took the lead in ending the battle, and completed the joint army with Wei Qing, and attacked the Ars Department in front and back.

The two sides fought until late at night.

Ars was shot on the battlefield by Huo Quai.

Its troops were greatly defeated, with nearly two-thirds of the casualties, and the rest of the people evacuated in disarray.

By the next morning, within twenty miles of Nordaryi and the city of the plateau, there was smoke and blood all over the ground.

Wei Qing wore a long robe, sat on a horse, and asked his nephew beside him: "You still have a team of soldiers and horses under your command who have entered the depths of the Parthian country?"

How are you going to fight next? ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "Of course, it is to pursue the victory, and my uncle will back it up for me!" ”

Wei Qing said: "During this time, I have been observing the movement of Parthia's troops and horses.

Their troop movements are always quick to respond to our arrangements, and I suspect that the other side can observe the changes in the battlefield.

You have to be careful, and you can also set up a game to counter your opponent. ”

Huo Quzhi nodded slightly: "If there is a war in my Han, Your Majesty can also gain insight into the battle situation at any time."

The moment I entered Parthia, there were warning signs, but I was not sure where they came from. ”

"You want to go deep into Parthia?"

"Well, let's go tonight."
