Chapter 1189 Please put it in the jar and add some ingredients
The night is deep.
Starry.
Screams and shouts resounded throughout the wilderness.
"Huchi...huchi..." Xu Huang breathed heavily behind the mask.
?Although the mask can protect against stray arrows, it also has the disadvantage of being very stuffy.
Coupled with the strong smell of blood around him, it seemed that all the gaps in the mask were blocked. Every time he breathed in and out, it was like he was breathing in and spitting out blood plasma.
"There are more people...more people..." Xu Huang squinted his eyes, and the cold light on the swords and spears raised by the Qiang people shone in his pupils, like dots of stars in the sky.
“Buzz!”
?Xu Huang silently took a step back to make some space, and then drew his axe.
That terrifying ax almost squeezed and cut off the space in front of him. The strong wind brought by the ax could make the leather robes of the surrounding Qiang people roll up!
“Kara!”
“Pfft!”
The Qiang people in front of them were immediately swept away!
However, there are more and more Qiang people, just like overturning the old nest of Zingzhuo, they are coming up in dense numbers.
Countless swords and guns were like the flying sand and stones coming from the desert, unable to block them at all, so Xu Huang simply stopped blocking them and allowed these sharp stones to hit his body.
?? There was a tooth-aching friction sound. Some of the outermost armor pieces had been deformed, and some had their silk ribbons broken. They were swaying and about to fall.
?Ma Chao''s harsh shouting lingered in his ears, and an angry voice came from one side. Xu Huang remained unmoved.
??? If Ma Chao is a soft-footed shrimp, Xu Huang would not mind sending Ma Chao on the road directly in three or two strokes, but the problem is that Ma Chao is not.
Although killing Ma Chao would definitely be a heavy blow to the Qiang people, Xu Huang knew that he could not do it.
?Although heavy armor strengthens defense, it also slows down the speed.
??If Ma Chao retreats, is it difficult for Xu Huang to pursue him wearing heavy armor and holding a battle ax?
?Ma Chao has a large number of people, and it is cost-effective to trade lives for lives, so he is eager to hold Xu Huang back. On the contrary, although Xu Huang is protected by heavy armor, he is not as agile as Ma Chao. If he is dragged into a hard battle, he will definitely die.
Hence, we can only isolate ourselves from Ma Chao and fight our own way.
Ma Chao pierced another shield with one shot, killing Xu Huang''s soldiers behind the shield, but more shield soldiers came up one after another at Ma Chao, mixed with some spearmen, who specifically shot Ma Chao through the gaps in the shield. All of them were life-for-life moves. For a moment, Ma Chao was trapped and unable to move. He could only shout angrily at Xu Huang: "Cowardless rats! Come fight, come fight!"
"Shameless little thief! Shameless little thief!" Ma Chao yelled angrily, gnashing his teeth as he attacked Xu Huang''s soldiers, and yelled, "Don''t resist, just surrender quickly and spare your life!" "
Xu Huang didn''t say a word, he just fought hard, hitting the incoming Qiang people with one ax after another. In front of Xu Huang, the Qiang people were cut down one after another as if they were being harvested. However, after all, there were many Qiang people. Although the Qiang people who faced Xu Huang were frightened, there were still many unknown situations behind them. Qiang people rushed forward.
?Seeing Xu Huang''s soldiers fall one by one, the front line shrinking, and the Qiang people gradually gaining the upper hand, Ma Chao couldn''t hide his joy, he laughed, 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 shouted with some pride, “Press them up and kill them!”
Xu Huang silently took a step back and drew the ax again, but this time, the ax got stuck in the waist of a Qiang man.
??Xu Huang gritted his teeth, ignoring the protests of his sore and swollen arms, and pulled out the tomahawk again with all his strength, and then put the ax handle on his waist and swung it with strength!
?Although this will reduce the attack range, it will save some effort.
Armor is made of iron, but people are not.
The further back, the faster the strength decreases. In addition, in order to stop Ma Chao, many sword and shield players have been damaged, and there is no room for Xu Huang to restore his strength.
Xu Huang silently took another step back.
The night wind blew from the Qingni River, carrying moist water vapor. It blew away the smell of blood on the mask and made Xu Huang''s heart skip a beat. He had already exited the water gate!
Thirty steps back, you will reach the Qingni River!
There is no way to retreat!
Several Qiang people rushed forward in a daze, brandishing their swords and guns. Suddenly, their eyes were empty, and there was no one blocking their way anymore!
These Qiang people looked at each other blankly, and then turned to look back, only to see that there was still a fierce battle behind them. The two sides were entangled, and the sounds of weapons clashing and screams were endless.
Coming over now?
Several Qiang people were in disbelief.
“Young commander! Young... uh...”
Just when the Qiang man was waving his sword at Ma Chao and shouting loudly to express his joy at running out of the array, he heard a frightening scream from the air, and then an arrow flew towards him. , with a "pop" sound, it pierced his back, and half a **** arrow penetrated from his chest, strangling all his sounds between his chest and abdomen, and threw him to the ground with his body.
The Qiang people who rushed out of Xu Huang''s array were horrified to find that at some point, the archers who had evacuated to the other side were already standing along the shore, on the tidal flat, or even on the water''s edge, making a small list. The "V"-shaped array, the sharp arrows shine with cold light!
Xu Yu stood on the shore, bent his bow and arrows, and quickly shot several Qiang people who rushed out of the array one by one. Xu Yu pulled out an arrow with a white tail feather from the quiver on one side, then bent his bow and shot at Shuimen, shouting: "Water Gate! Wind! Strong wind!" "Wind! Strong wind!"
Across the Qingni River, the archers from the Shesheng Battalion shouted in unison, slanting their bows towards the junction of the water gate and towards the front of Xu Huang''s army formation, where the Qiang people were most crowded, and shot out a shower of arrows!
The snow-white arrow tail feathers drew a beautiful arc in the night sky, and right behind it were ordinary arrows with black and variegated tail feathers, screaming downwards!
“Pfft!”
“Pfft!”
The Qiang people who were crowded together were like cowhide water bladders filled with blood. They were pierced by arrows one after another. A large number of them were shot down suddenly with screams!
Ma Chao was assassinating one of Xu Huang''s soldiers and was about to charge forward when he suddenly heard the whistling sound of arrows in mid-air. He trembled all over and immediately ducked down, grabbed a shield and blocked it in front of him, moving to the side. Lean on the pillar at the water supply gate. After all, the shadow of Ma Chao''s encounter with Zheng Xi''s strong crossbow during the last battle has not been completely eliminated...
Arrows rained down like rain, and the Qiang people who were crowded at the water gate were like weeds, falling piece by piece in the rain of arrows, while the Qiang people coming from behind couldn''t see what was happening in front of them. They just crowded forward blindly, and when they realized something was wrong, a new round of arrow rain descended from 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 but hesitate.
Looking at Xu Huang''s seductive 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 changed the direction of shooting and concentrated on themselves?
?Ma Chao lost the best time after hesitating for a moment.
“Everyone! Retreat! Cross the river!”
Xu Huang shouted, and immediately swept away the space, and then slowly retreated towards the river bank. Some arrows falling from the sky were pierced on his armor, but they could not break through the defense at all. They either bounced to the side or hung up. On top of the armor, it adds a bit more power.
??Some Qiang people, whose eyes were red with the killing, watched Xu Huang retreat. They bit Xu Huang and refused to let go despite the rain of arrows. They were chasing and slashing with their teeth and claws. If Xu Huang hadn''t been wearing heavy armor, he would have been injured to some extent at this time.
"Cover the captain!" Xu Yu shouted loudly, dropped his bow, drew his sword and rushed forward. With a few soldiers, he stopped the pursuing Qiang people, protected Xu Huang, and retreated slowly.
Small boats lined up on the shore, and the retreating swordsmen, shieldmen, and spearmen hurriedly boarded the boats. Some even suddenly broke away from the battle. When they came to the boat with a sigh of relief, they were unable to climb because they were exhausted. Fortunately, Several soldiers on the side of the boat worked together to push him onto the side of the boat...
Two hundred sword and shield bearers and one hundred and fifty spearmen have been lost by nearly half in this short period of hand-to-hand combat. If not for these soldiers, they were either Xu Huang''s personal guards or soldiers in the army. The elites, and Xu Huang, as the coach of the Chinese Army, insisted on being on the front line, I am afraid that their morale has collapsed and they have been defeated.
Seeing Xu Huang retreating, Ma Chao jumped up and down. Suddenly, he had an idea and shouted: "Throw the gun! Throw the gun and kill him! Kill him!"
?Because I know that Xu Huang is heavily armored, because ordinary bows and arrows are not a big threat to Xu Huang, but it is different if he throws a spear. Even if the heavy spear cannot completely break through the defense, it is enough for Xu Huang to drink a pot!
??Immediately, many Qiang people picked up the spears scattered on the ground and threw them at Xu Huang under 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 sword and smashed away the two or three spears that were fired at him. However, he was unable to smash away the subsequent spears and was immediately pierced by one of the spears. abdomen!
“Xu Yu!”
When Xu Huang saw this, he took off his mask and roared, his heart felt like a knife.
? Xu Yu turned his head with difficulty, as if he wanted to take another look at Xu Huang. He turned his head halfway, but could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
“…Put in the 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 became a little blurry.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the ropes of the simple trebuchet boom that had been erected on the shore long ago were cut off amidst Xu Huang''s orders. The squeaking and crude boom lifted the tiles under the action of the counterweight. The can was thrown into the air, crossed an arc, and landed in the camp!
The grease inside the earthen pot is splashing!
??Although it is not the kind of fire oil that Zheng Xi prepared in Bingbei, the general mixture of animal fat and pine oil is also a very terrible combustion accelerant.
?The sound of the earthen jar breaking was like the grim smile of the God of Death, making Ma Chao''s face turn pale in an instant!
"careful…"
Before he finished shouting a sentence, he saw dots of rockets streaking across the night sky, like falling stars in the sky, landing in the camp and on the splashing grease!
At that moment, everything around seemed to be still for a moment, and then a trace of blue light suddenly appeared on the flowing grease. Then in the next moment, the flame suddenly burst out and swallowed everything around it!
Inside the camp, the light was shining brightly, reflecting half of the sky!
?The fire is like a blood lotus, blooming in the camp, blooming wantonly!
?The baggage trains and wooden horses remaining in the camp are continuous fuels for combustion. Once ignited, the flames will not stop dancing wildly until they are burned to ashes. With Shuimen''s insistence, he retreated step by step in order to allow more Qiang people to rush into the camp. Everything was for the fire in front of him!
Please put yourself in the urn and add some fire!
By the way, seal the lid of the urn...
?It’s a pity that Xu Yu…
Xu Huang looked at the steaming flames and suddenly remembered what General Fei Qian said to him before: "...Today you won, but you also lost. You lost, not to your opponent, but to you." Own…"
In order to lure more Ma Chao soldiers into the camp and achieve the goal of defeating Ma Chao''s army in one fell swoop, Xu Huang did not hesitate to use his body as bait. As a result, Ma Chao was indeed lured closer to the camp, but Xu Huang also suffered a lot of losses here. , and also accidentally killed his clan brother Xu Yu...
?Is this account a good deal or not?
"This time, Junhou..." Xu Huang looked towards the water gate, looked at Ma Chao''s figure in the flickering fire, looked at Xu Yu''s body lying on the shore, and murmured softly, "...do you win or lose? …”
"No matter what, I am going to bury the Ma family, and I will lie down under the waves by the Qingni River today!" Xu Huang said through gritted teeth, and then shouted in a deep voice, "Block the water gate with bows and arrows! The rest of the people will follow me to clean the river surface! Kill without mercy. , will not surrender!”
??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. However, what greeted them was not the life-saving river water, but deadly arrows!
Earth jars filled with oil fell from the sky one after another, continuously adding oil to the already burning camp fire. The exploding grease left the Qiang soldiers in the camp with nowhere to hide. If they were accidentally contaminated with grease, they would immediately get into trouble!
The Qiang soldiers braving the flames and struggling towards the Qingni River are like the brightest targets. Across the Qingni River, which is forty or fifty meters away, they are exactly within the shooting range of the most lethal bow and arrow. There is no need to worry. The archers who were accidentally injured almost directly shot straight away. Sometimes the Qiang people who rushed out were shot by several archers at the same time, and they were shot back to the camp.
With the flames of the camp soaring into the sky, the sky turned red. In the distance in the lower direction, rows of torches suddenly lit up, and the stars seemed to stretch to the sky!
It’s over, you fell into the trap!
Many Qiang people couldn''t help but have the same idea in their minds...
The rumbling war drums shook the earth and the hearts of the panicked Qiang soldiers. Ma Chao was trapped in the camp, uncertain about his life or death, and the army coming from a distance was so majestic that those who were still outside the camp were already The Qiang soldiers who had worked hard for a day without a good rest were suddenly at a loss and became even more panicked. Some of them rushed into the camp to rescue their compatriots, but more of them saw that the situation was not right and pulled a war horse away without a torch. Fleeing in the direction...
