Chapter 463: The Archer Overhead

Regarding Tang Minghu's proposal, Lu He thought it was very feasible after a simple deduction.

"Tang Minghu, you will organize the masters in the camp to kill me now."

Lu He immediately ordered Tang Minghu.

On the other side, the old King of Jin saw that the formation of the city guard camp was getting denser and denser, and he also opened his mouth and commanded a Jin King guard next to him.

"Alright, it's almost time, and it's time to get what you've prepared."

When the Jin King's guard heard this, he immediately bowed down to receive the order, then turned his head and ran towards the old Jin King's mansion.

In a short time, he came out with dozens of servants pushing something made of wood.

"Your Majesty, are you the soldiers who are going to attack the city guard camp with this thing?"

Since Ma Zheng had been presiding over the affairs of the lower nine streams before, he didn't know that this thing was still hidden in the Jin King's mansion.

"How many people can be killed with this thing?"

The old Jin King knocked the thing with his own crutch.

"Besides, even if I use the return cannon that is in progress, it is impossible to directly stoning all these thousands of city guards and soldiers to death, let alone this gadget that has been reduced by five or six times."

It turned out that what the old Jin King asked people to push out turned out to be a return cannon that had been reduced many times.

"Then how does the king plan to use this thing to kill the enemy?"

Ma Zheng looked at this miniature version of the return cannon with a puzzled expression at this time.

"Just look at the stuff over there."

In the face of Ma Zheng's inquiry, the old Jin King did not answer directly, he just used his crutches to point to the clay pots that were pushed out with the return cannon.

"It's ······"

When Ma Zheng saw those clay pots, he immediately recognized what they were.

As a former soldier who had fought with the old Jin King and them in the northern border, he used to use this kind of thing often, which was the fierce fire oil commonly used when defending the city.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to attack with fire?"

"That's right, so many people huddled together is a good time to attack with fire."

The old Jin King raised his eyebrows and said with a smile on his face.

"But if the king's fierce fire oil is not used well, it can easily burn his own people!"

Ma Zheng watched as those Jin King reinforcements and the soldiers of the city guard battalion were all huddled together, and he reminded with some concern.

"Although I plan to attack with fire next, the scope of the attack will only be the center of the city guard camp, I don't want how many people can be burned by this fierce fire oil, I just want to use it to create panic in the city guard camp."

Although the tone of the old Jin King was very light, it stopped in Ma Zheng's ears and made him tremble.

As a former veteran, Ma Zheng knew that once many soldiers were frightened on the battlefield, they were likely to fall into panic.

And when the mass of soldiers are in a panic, the battlefield can easily become crowded and chaotic.

At that time, even if their reinforcements and the Jin king's personal guards did not move, the soldiers of these city guard battalions would stampede themselves.

And when that time comes they themselves will push themselves into the abyss of death.

"It's still the king's sage, but the old slave has one more worry!"

When Ma Zheng heard this, he immediately gently patted the old Jin King on the back, but then he changed his words and raised a question that he was worried about again.

"Oh! You're talking about the river next to them, right? ”

Although Ma Zheng hadn't spoken yet, the old Jin King guessed his worries at once.

"Your Majesty, although the use of fire attack in this situation is the most time-saving and labor-saving method for them, the river next to them is like a life-saving medicine for the city guard camp.

When the time comes, as long as they jump directly into the lake after the fire oil is ignited, they can be rescued.

"You're right, that river is a big problem."

After the old Jin King slowed down for a while, he immediately changed his words and continued.

"But I've already figured out this problem, so I've already arranged for someone to do something on this shore and underwater."

Looking at the sly smile on the face of the old Jin King, Ma Zheng immediately smiled with him.

At this time, he remembered that when he followed the old Jin king to fight the northern border fortress together, the old Jin king was praised as a master of wisdom and unparalleled wisdom.

The old King Jin then nodded to the Jin King's guards beside him.

These Jin king's guards immediately loaded the clay jars onto the miniature version of the return cannon.

Then, as soon as one of the Jin king's personal guards smashed the machine and expanded back the cannon, the slender throwing rod immediately threw the clay jar in the direction of the soldiers of the city guard battalion.

The other Jin king's guards were holding longbows and followed closely the clay pots flying in the air.

When those clay pots flew above the heads of the soldiers of the city guard camp, the guards of the Jin King immediately bent their bows and arrows.

With a few swishing sounds, the arrows in their hands were fired.

After a few breaths, the arrows hit the pots steadily.

Immediately, the clay pot flying in the air was directly shattered by several arrows.

And the fierce fire oil inside immediately scattered like rain.

Then the fire oil fell on the heads of the guards of the city.

Tang Minghu, who was preparing at this time, touched his hair and found that a cloud of pitch-black liquid appeared on his hand.

He subconsciously leaned up to his nose and sniffed.

"It's not good, this is fierce fire oil, the other party is ready to attack with fire."

Lu He couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

Just now, he was still worried that the old Jin King would use fire to attack at this time.

I didn't expect that now my worries have become a reality.

"What a good thing that is!"

Zhang Fengmu kept wiping the fierce fire oil falling on his body with his hand, and shouted anxiously.

Lu He also had some six gods and no master for a while.

"Liu Si, Huang Sheng, Yang Long, Tang Zheng, the four of you immediately climb on top of their heads, once you find that these fierce fire oils are fired again, you must destroy it in time."

Tang Minghu did not panic at this time.

He commanded decisively to several of his subordinates.

The four people he named immediately nodded when they heard this, and then jumped up and climbed onto their companion's shoulder.

Then they ran in the direction of the return cannon without hesitation.

At this time, because the formation of the soldiers of the city guard camp was already very crowded, the four of them were not worried that they would fall off at all.

However, the people who were stepped on by them were constantly scolding.

"It's all fucking scolded, the other side is now preparing to launch the fierce fire oil to burn everyone, and now we are going to shoot down the fierce fire oil, why are you so ignorant!"

Huang Sheng, one of the four, listened to the constant abuse under his feet, and he immediately scolded angrily.

And the people who were trampled on by them immediately shut their mouths when they heard this.

At this time, they also realized that if the old Jin King's side could really successfully attack with fire, then their guys who were huddled together would inevitably die without a place to bury.

Even if there is a river next to them, it is difficult for those of you who are in the middle to squeeze out the crowd and jump into the river in a short time.

Not long after these four people climbed to the top of the crowd, the return cannon on the side of the old Jin King projected several clay pots again.

Seeing this, the four men immediately tried to stabilize their bodies, and then bent their bows and arrows towards the clay pots.

And the archery skills of the four of them did not deserve Tang Minghu's trust in them.

The four of them only fired two quick rounds before they exploded all the clay pots.

"Humph! I didn't expect Lu He's reaction to be so fast, and they actually came up with a way to deal with it. ”

The old Jin King squinted at the four people standing above the heads of the guards of the city guard camp and said with a cold face.

"What are you guys doing in a daze? Shoot those four guys. ”

Ma Zheng, who was originally looking forward to the next fire attack, immediately commanded a few archers on his side.

When the archers heard this, they immediately aimed their bows and arrows at the four men above the heads of the soldiers of the city guard.

With the sound of a "whooshing" bowstring, several arrows immediately flew towards the four men.

At this time, the attention of the four people was all focused on the clay pot that had exploded in the air, and they did not notice anyone shooting at them in the first place.

And by the time they realized that something was wrong, the arrows shot by the Jin King's guards had already reached them.

At this point, they don't have time to dodge.

So a few arrows hit the four people directly.

"Well done!"

Ma Zheng saw that all the arrows shot from his side had hit the four people, and he immediately clapped his hands happily.

But how long could he wait for him to be happy, and he was surprised to find that three of the four people who were shot on the opposite side had taken up again.

"What the fuck is going on?"

Ma Zheng asked a few archers with a cold face.

And those archers were also confused by the second monk when they heard this.

When they were shooting arrows just now, most of them aimed at their opponents' chests in order to be able to hit their opponents.

After all, the area of the chest is much larger than the opponent's head.

But they forgot that this time the operation of the city guard camp had been planned for a long time.

Therefore, before leaving, Lu He had already asked everyone to put on their armor.

Although the four men were wearing only the simplest leather armor, it was enough to remove most of the power of these arrows.

"I didn't expect these despicable villains on the other side to choose to sneak attack us, it's just shameless."

Liu Si pulled out the arrow inserted in his chest and scolded angrily.

Although just now his leather armor successfully helped him block this arrow.

However, because the flying force of this arrow was too great, this arrow still directly pierced Liu Si's armor.

At this time, there was still a trace of blood on the tip of the silver-white arrow.

It was obvious that the arrow just now was still pierced into Liu Si's flesh, but judging from the blood stains on the arrow, this arrow should not have shot too deep.

"Damn, I'm going to teach those little cubs how to shoot arrows now."

Yang Long, like Liu Si, pulled out the arrow on his chest with an angry face, and then without hesitation, he bent his bow and shot back the arrow that had been shot at him by the Jin King's guards just now.

"Huang Sheng! Huang Sheng, what's wrong with you? You hold on! ”

At this moment, Yang Long on the side was pulling out the arrow in his chest, but found that Huang Sheng beside him had not sat up.

So he subconsciously turned his head to look.

As a result, he immediately found that Huang Sheng was lying flat at this time, and at the same time, he tried to grab the arrow shaft in his chest with his hand, trying to pull it out.

But after pulling it out for a while, it was never able to pull it out.

And at this time, the arrow in his hand was already full of viscous blood.

The arrow stuck in his chest sank directly into his chest by a third.

"Huang Sheng, you must hold on!"

Tang Zheng, who found that the situation was wrong, also immediately stepped forward to check Huang Sheng's situation.

"Don't panic, the people below will send Huang Sheng to the center of the crowd first!"

At this time, Liu Si was more calm than ordinary people.

He commanded directly to the people below him.

Hearing this, the city guard battalion guards below immediately lifted Huang Sheng up gently, and then quickly sent him towards the center of the crowd.

"These damn scumbags dare to sneak up on us, I'm going to shoot them right now!"

Tang Zheng saw that Huang Sheng was sent away, and he immediately wanted to give the archers who were guarded by the King of Jin back the color.

But before he could draw out the arrow, Liu Si grabbed him.

"You idiot, those Jin King guards' armor is thicker than ours, what's the use of you shooting them."

Liu Si's words immediately made Tang Zheng stunned.

Immediately, Tang Zhengcai realized that Liu Si's reminder was right, and his bow and arrows did not pose any threat to the archers in the Jin King's personal guard.

"Brother Liu, what should we do? Are we going to let these grandchildren shoot us and not fight back? ”

Yang Long on the side also said angrily.

"Don't be impulsive, our task now is to shoot those clay pots up, if we shoot at each other at this time, and the other side successfully throws those fierce fire oil on the top of everyone's heads, then many of our brothers will die because of this."

Liu Si analyzed very calmly.

"Then we're going to let the other party target us like this?"

Yang Long still said a little unconvinced.

"I just observed the clay pots that the other party throws, and generally only five or six can be thrown at a time, so if we move fast enough, two people will be enough to deal with it."

Liu Si pondered for a moment and then said.

"Brother Liu, do you mean that one of the three of us will be selected to deal with each other?"

Tang Zheng immediately understood what Liu Si meant.

"But Brother Liu, you just said that these Jin King guards' guards are wearing armor, and our bows and arrows can't do much damage to them!"

Yang Long didn't understand why Liu Si had to pull out one person since the bow and arrow on his side couldn't pose a threat to the other party.

"We can't shoot those Jin King guards wearing armor, but can we still shoot those who don't wear armor?"

Liu Si grinned and pointed in the direction where the old Jin King was.

Yang Long and Tang Zheng immediately opened their mouths wide when they heard this.

Immediately, their faces showed a hint of joy.

"If we can kill the old Jin King with one arrow, maybe the crisis of our city guard camp will be lifted immediately."

Yang Long said happily.

"Don't daydream, I asked you to shoot the old Jin King just to contain those Jin King guards, you really think we can shoot that old guy!"

Liu Si smiled helplessly.

Although this plan was proposed by him, he knew very well that there must be a master guarding someone like the old Jin King.

It is impossible for the bows and arrows of these people to hit the land of the old Jin Dynasty.

He had seen a master catch flying arrows with his bare hands.

Therefore, he believed that the arrows on his side could not get close to the old Jin King at all.

However, he also knew that what he wanted now was not to shoot the old King of Jin, he just wanted to use this to contain the side of the King of Jin's personal guards.

In this way, it could delay the opponent's plan to throw the fierce fire oil and buy more time for Tang Minghu's side to attack.
