Chapter 1189 Please add some food to the urn
The night was deep.
Starry.
Screams and shouts resounded across the field.
"Huchi...huchi..." Xu Huang breathed heavily behind the mask.
Although the mask can protect against the flow of arrows, it also has disadvantages, that is, it is very stuffy.
Combined with the strong smell of blood around, it seems that all the gaps on the mask have been sealed up, and between breaths, it''s like breathing in and spitting out plasma alive.
"More people... just more..." Xu Huang squinted his eyes, and the cold lights on the swords and spears raised by the Qiang people shone in his pupils, like stars in the sky.
"Om!"
Xu Huang silently took a step back to make room for a little space, and then unleashed the axe.
The terrifying ax almost squeezed and cut off the space in front of him. The wind brought by the ax could blow the leather robes of the surrounding Qiang people up!
"Kara!"
"Pfft!"
The Qiang people in front of them were swept away immediately!
However, there are more and more Qiang people, as if they have overturned the old nest of the scorpion, they are coming up densely.
Countless knives and guns, like flying sand and rocks coming from the desert, could not be blocked at all, so Xu Huang simply stopped covering them and let these sharp stones hit him.
There was a sound of tooth acid rubbing, and some of the outermost armor pieces had been deformed, and some had been broken, shaking and falling.
Ma Chao''s piercing yelling lingered in his ears, and an exasperated voice came from one side, Xu Huang was unmoved.
If Ma Chao was a soft-footed shrimp, Xu Huang would not mind sending Ma Chao on the road directly, but the problem is that Ma Chao is not.
Although killing Ma Chao would definitely deal a heavy blow to the Qiang people, Xu Huang knew that he couldn''t do it.
Although the heavy armor strengthened the defense, it also slowed down the speed.
If Ma Chao retreated, would it be difficult for Xu Huang to chase after him wearing a heavy armor and holding a tomahawk?
Ma Chao has many people, and it is cost-effective to exchange his life for his life, so he is eager to hold Xu Huang back. On the contrary, although Xu Huang has a heavy armor to protect him, he is not as flexible as Ma Chao after all. If he is dragged into a hard battle, he will undoubtedly die.
Therefore, they can only isolate themselves from Ma Chao and play their own games.
Ma Chao pierced another shield with one shot, killing Xu Huang''s soldiers behind the shield, but more shield soldiers rushed up to target Ma Chao layer by layer, interspersed with some spearmen, who specifically pierced Ma Chao from the gap in the shield. All of them were life-for-life tricks. For a while, Ma Chao was also trapped, unable to move, and could only shout angrily at Xu Huang: "Cowardless bastard! Let''s fight, let''s fight!"
"Shameless little thief! Shameless little thief!" Ma Chao yelled angrily, gnashing his teeth and attacking Xu Huang''s soldiers, while yelling, "Don''t resist, hurry up and catch me, and spare your life! "
Xu Huang didn''t make a sound, just fought hard, with ax and ax, just slashing at the rushing Qiang people. In front of Xu Huang, the Qiang people seemed to be cut off by Zhuanghe, and they were cut down one by one. But after all, there are a large number of Qiang people. Although the Qiang people who faced Xu Huang were terrified, there are still many unknown situations behind. The Qiang people rushed forward.
Seeing that Xu Huang''s soldiers fell one by one, the front continued to shrink, and the Qiang people gradually gained the upper hand. Ma Chao couldn''t hide his joy, he laughed loudly, and his marksmanship became more and more fierce.
Today''s victory still belongs to Ma Chao!
"If you don''t surrender, you will die!" Ma Chao yelled rather triumphantly, "Press up and kill them!"
Xu Huang silently took another step back and drew out the ax again, but this time, the ax got stuck in the waist of a Qiang man.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Huang ignored the protests from his sore arm, pulled out the battle ax again with all his might, and then put the handle of the ax on his waist, using his strength to swing it!
Although this will reduce the attack range, it will save some effort.
Armor is made of iron, but man is not.
The further back, the faster the strength will be reduced. In addition, in order to stop Ma Chao, many sword and shield hands have been broken, and there is no room for Xu Huang to recover his strength.
Xu Huang silently took another step back.
The night wind blew from the Qingni River, carrying moist water vapor, blowing away the **** smell on the mask, and also made Xu Huang''s heart skip a beat, this has already exited the water gate!
Take another thirty steps back and you will see the Qingni River!
There is no refund!
Several Qiang people brandished their knives and guns in a daze and rushed forward. Suddenly, there was nothing in front of them, and there was no one in front of them!
These Qiang people stared blankly at each other, then turned their heads to look back, and saw that there was still a fierce battle behind them.
This is rushing over?
The Qiang people couldn''t believe it.
"Less Commander! Less...uh..."
Just when the Qiang man waved his saber at Ma Chao and shouted loudly to express his joy when he ran out of the formation, he heard a frightening scream from the air, and then an arrow flew towards him. , pierced his back with a "poof", and half a **** arrow pierced through his chest, strangled all the sound between his chest and abdomen, brought his body, and fell to the ground.
The few Qiang people who rushed out of Xu Huang''s formation were horrified to find that at some point, the archers who had evacuated to the opposite bank had already stood along the bank, on the tidal flats, or even by the water, making a list of small "V" array, sharp arrows shining coldly!
Xu Yu stood on the shore, bowed his bow and set his arrows, and quickly shot and killed several Qiang people who rushed out of the formation. Xu Yu pulled out an arrow with white tail feathers from the quiver on one side, then bent his bow and shot at the water gate, shouting: "Shuimen! Wind! Gale!"
"Wind! Windy!"
Across the Qingni River, the archers of the Shesheng Battalion shouted repeatedly in unison, bowing their bows obliquely towards the intersection of the water gate, towards the place where the Qiang people are most crowded in front of Xu Huang''s army, and shoot a rain of arrows covering it!
The snow-white arrow tail feathers drew a beautiful arc in the night sky, followed by ordinary arrows with black and variegated tail feathers, screaming and rushing down!
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
The Qiang people crowded in one place were like cowhide water sacs filled with blood. They were pierced by arrows one by one, and a large area was shot down amidst the screams!
Ma Chao was assassinating a soldier of Xu Huang, and was about to charge forward, when he suddenly heard the sound of arrows roaring in mid-air, his whole body trembled, he immediately lowered himself, grabbed a shield to block in front of him, and went to the side Lean on the pillar at the upper water gate. After all, the shadow of Ma Chao encountering Zhengxi Qiangnu when he was on the battlefield last time has not been completely eliminated...
Arrows fell like rain, and the Qiang people crowded at the water gate were like weeds, falling down one by one in the rain of arrows, while the Qiang people who came from behind couldn''t see what happened in front of them at all. They just blindly crowded forward, and when they found something was wrong, another round of arrow rain fell in the sky...
The Qiang people in the camp were immediately separated by the rain of arrows, and Ma Chao looked at the uniform archers on the other side of the river, and couldn''t help hesitating.
Looking at Xu Huang''s alluring figure in front of him, Ma Chao was a little moved, but once he rushed out, after all, the shield could only cover one side. What if these archers turned their shooting directions and concentrated on shooting him?
Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, and lost the best time.
"All! Retreat! Cross the river!"
Xu Huang roared, and immediately swept away the space for a while, and retreated slowly towards the river bank. A few arrows that fell from the sky pierced his armor, but they couldn''t break through the defense at all, either bounced to the side, or hanged. On top of the armor, it adds a bit of power.
Some Qiang people who were red-eyed from killing watched Xu Huang retreat, braved the rain of arrows and bit Xu Huang and would not let him go.
"Cover the lieutenant!" Xu Yu shouted loudly, dropped his bow, drew his sword and rushed forward, leading a few soldiers, stopped the chasing Qiang people, protected Xu Huang, and retreated slowly.
The small boats lined up on the shore one by one, and the retreating swordsmen and spearmen hurriedly boarded the small boats. Some even broke away from the battle suddenly, and when they came down to the side of the boat, they lost their strength and were unable to climb. Several soldiers on the side of the boat worked together to push him onto the side of the boat...
Two hundred sword and shield fighters and one hundred and fifty spearmen have lost nearly half of their soldiers in the short period of handover. If it wasn''t for these soldiers, they would either be Xu Huang''s personal guards, or the soldiers in the army. Coupled with Xu Huang''s insistence on being on the front line as the coach of the Chinese army, morale may have collapsed long ago.
Seeing Xu Huang retreating, Ma Chao jumped anxiously. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly: "Throw the gun! Throw the gun and kill him! Kill him!"
Because I know that Xu Huang is wearing heavy armor, because ordinary bows and arrows are not a big threat to Xu Huang, but if it is a spear, it is different. Even if the heavy spear cannot completely break the defense, it is enough for Xu Huang to drink a pot!
Immediately, many Qiang people picked up the scattered spears on the ground, and threw them towards Xu Huang against the rain of arrows!
"Captain, be careful!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu Yu immediately took a step forward and stood in front of Xu Huang. He raised his saber and smashed away two or three long spears that were coming, but was unable to smash the subsequent spears, and was immediately pierced by a long spear. abdomen!
"Xu Yu!"
Seeing this, Xu Huang took off his mask and let out a loud roar, feeling like a knife was piercing his heart.
Xu Yu turned his head with difficulty, as if he wanted to take another look at Xu Huang, but turned his head halfway, but couldn''t hold on any longer, and fell to the ground slumped.
"... cast oil! Raise the fire!" Xu Huang boarded the boat, gritted his teeth and roared, turning his head to look at Xu Yu''s body on the shore, his eyes blurred.
Taking advantage of the night, the ropes of the simple trebuchet arm that had been erected on the shore long ago were cut off in the sound of Xu Huang''s orders. The can was thrown into the air, drew an arc, and landed in the middle of the camp!
The grease in the crock was splashing everywhere!
Although it is not the kind of fierce fire oil deployed by Zhengxi in Bingbei, the general mixture of animal fat and pine oil is also a terrible kind of combustion aid.
The sound of the crock pot breaking, like the grinning grin of death, made Ma Chao''s face turn pale!
"Be careful…"
Before he finished chanting a sentence, he saw dots of rockets flying across the night sky, like stars falling from the sky, landing in the camp, and landing on the splashed grease!
At that moment, everything around seemed to be still for a moment, and then a ray of blue light suddenly appeared on the flowing grease, and at the next moment, the sudden burst of flame swallowed everything around it!
In the camp, the brilliance is in full swing, reflecting half of the sky!
The fire is like a blood lotus, blooming in the camp, blooming wantonly!
The baggage carts and wooden horses left in the camp are continuous combustion aids. Once ignited, the flames will not stop dancing until they are burned to ashes. The insistence at Shuimen, the retreat step by step, is to let more Qiang people rush into the camp, and everything is for the fire in front of them!
Please enter the urn, and then add another fire!
By the way, put the lid on the urn again...
It''s a pity that Xu Yu...
Looking at the steaming flames, Xu Huang suddenly remembered what Zhengxi General Fei Qian said to him before: "...you won today, but you also lost. You lost not because you lost to your opponent, but to you Own…"
In order to lure more Ma Chao''s soldiers into the camp and achieve the goal of defeating Ma Chao''s army as much as possible, Xu Huang did not hesitate to use himself as bait. As a result, Ma Chao was indeed lured into the camp, but Xu Huang also suffered a lot of losses here. , and accidentally lost his brother Xu Yu...
Is this account worthwhile or not?
"This time, Junhou..." Xu Huang looked at the water gate, looked at Ma Chao''s figure in the flickering fire, looked at Xu Yu''s body lying on the bank, and murmured softly, "...won or lost? ..."
"No matter what, I want to bury Ma Shi, and today I will be on the bank of the Qingni River, under the waves!" Xu Huang gritted his teeth and then shouted in a deep voice, "Bows and arrows block the water gate! The rest of you, follow me to clean the river! Shoot and kill , will not be surrendered!"
The Qiang people, who were burned by the flames, rushed towards the water gate with their heads crying and howling, trying to rush into the water to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but what greeted them was not the life-saving river, but the deadly arrows!
Crockpots filled with oil fell from the sky one by one, continuously adding fuel to the burning camp. The exploding grease made the Qiang soldiers in the camp nowhere to hide, and if they were accidentally contaminated with grease, they would be caught on fire!
The Qiang soldiers struggling towards the Qingni River one after another, braving flames, are like the brightest targets. Across the Qingni River forty or fifty years, they happen to be within the shooting range of the most lethal bow and arrow, so don''t worry anymore The archers who were injured by accident almost shot straight straight. Sometimes the Qiang rushed out and were shot by several archers together, and they fell back into the camp.
Accompanied by the soaring flames of the camp, the sky was reddened, and rows of torches suddenly ignited in the distance in the direction of Xiabian, as if they were scattered all the way to the sky!
It''s over, it''s tricked!
Many Qiang people couldn’t help but have the same idea in their hearts...
The sound of rumbling war drums shook the ground and the souls of the panicked Qiang soldiers. Ma Chao was trapped in the camp, and his life and death were uncertain, and the army coming from afar was so majestic. It was the Qiang soldiers who had worked hard all day and didn''t get a good rest. They were at a loss and panicked even more. Some of them rushed into the camp to rescue their compatriots, but most of them saw that the situation was wrong and pulled a horse and went without a torch. fleeing in the direction of...
