Chapter 150: Rockets Stop the Enemy

The three Du Wu sisters decided to stop Ollie from letting a gang of horse thieves escape, but how to stop them, they hurried to discuss a plan.

Du Wu proposed to shoot rockets at the horse thieves' convoy, and it would be best if the carriage could be set on fire, so that the enemy would be busy fighting the fire, and it would inevitably delay their escape. As soon as this plan came out, everyone praised it. However, how to implement it is still difficult to decide.

Reiliza's people are all good at riding and shooting, and each of them has a strong bow and crossbow, but how to ignite, how to get close to the enemy within range, and how to face the enemy's counterattack after burning the opponent's convoy are all problems. After urgent deliberation, the group decided on a strategy.

Gong Roku proposed, wrapped in cloth on an arrow, dipped in spirits, can be ignited. As for how to approach the enemy, since the Gobi is separated by several miles between the two sides, there is no concealment and covering, so the policy of fighting fast and slow, with Du Wu riding the Divine Beast Yemen, and Reyilizha riding the Five-colored Sacred Cow, rushing to the enemy formation at the fastest speed, shooting rockets quickly before the enemy reacts, and then quickly returning. If the enemy comes, you will temporarily retreat, if the enemy pursues, take them in circles, and if the enemy does not pursue, go back and harass them with rockets. So delaying the time, waiting for the army to arrive.

With this in mind, they immediately began to prepare, taking out some arrows, wrapping them in cloth, and pouring liquor over them. Du Wu and Reyiliza carried a pot of such arrows on their backs. Reyiliza was originally an archer, and Du Wu also learned archery, although the archery skills were not very high, but it was not a problem to shoot such a big goal as a carriage, not to mention that after she cultivated into chaos, she was clear about the trajectory of the bow and arrow, and she also became an archer.

Everyone is bowed and unsheathed, and they are waiting for battle here. Du Wu and Reyiliza mounted their respective mounts and rushed towards the enemy formation.

Yemen and the five-colored sacred cow are extremely fast, the distance between the two sides of five miles was quickly shortened, and when there were about three miles left, the horse thief found out, but he didn't know what the two were going to do, between this hesitation, Du Wu and the two rushed closer to the two miles, and had entered the range of the arrows. The two men stopped their mounts, drew their bows and arrows, lit them with fire breakers, and shot them at the carriage. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen arrows had been shot, none of which missed, and suddenly, more than a dozen carriages burst into flames. The body of the carriage was made of wood, and the canopy was cloth, which was extremely flammable. The thieves realized the situation and reacted immediately, with some taking out bows and arrows and shooting at the two, others dialing the rockets fired by the two, and others hitting the burning wagon.

Du Wu and Reyiliza dodged each other's arrows while continuing to shoot rockets, their archery skills were both fine, and their arm strength was strong, none of the arrows they shot missed, and in the blink of an eye, they had already shot their own pots of arrows, turned their mounts and ran towards the way they came.

Some of the horse thieves tried to chase after them on horseback, but were stopped by Ollie. He knew that this was Du Wu's deliberate attempt to delay time, and if he chased it, he would fall into the trap of the other party. He ordered people to put out the fire while expelling the defensive circle, and arranged some horse thieves with good archery around the perimeter of the carriage. Prevent the enemy from shooting arrows again.

Ollie was very cunning, and the choice he made was undoubtedly the most correct.

Du Wu and Reyiliza returned to the hidden place, and saw that the enemy did not chase after them, but just hurried to extinguish the fire. There is no better way, but to hope that the army will arrive quickly, otherwise the horse thieves will extinguish the flames and will inevitably flee immediately. It was impossible to go back to shoot arrows, because the enemy had already set up a defensive ring and could no longer get close to the carriage.

Based on the current situation, everyone re-discussed it. Du Wu proposed that while the horse thieves had more than half of their men to extinguish the fire, it would be better for us to go out and kill for a while, disturb the enemy again, and achieve the goal of delaying the enemy's escape.
