Chapter 4386 Daofu was unwilling to give up and charged with all his strength
Xu Daofu paced back and forth in front of the Tutu Temple restlessly, with a pair of bulging bull's eyes staring at the battle ahead. He bit his lip tightly with his teeth, almost bleeding, but he still couldn't
In exchange for a breakthrough ahead.
From the first to the second fence, the distance of about 300 steps was already covered with the charred corpses of immortal monsters. Although most of these monsters were transformed by the bitten and captured Jin army soldiers,
For example, Liu Qirong, his tall and burly body stood out among the monsters. Several blades of fine steel armor were still hanging on his body. At this moment, it was covered by more than three eight-stone running bull crossbows.
It had gone through the body, and there were still a few remaining threads of fishing nets on the body. The whole body was charred and black. It was just stranded on the edge of the ditch less than thirty steps in front of the second fence. It was motionless and had become
A pile of coke.
And this burnt Liu Qirong is already the immortal monster closest to the second fence. Even in front of the second fence, about five steps away from it, is an unbreakable steel forest with hundreds of people.
The Xianbei tiger-spotted cavalry wearing a tiger-spotted cloak was wrapped in heavy armor and held a riding spear that was more than six meters tall. The horizontal banner under the head of the spear had already been dyed purple and black, dripping with foul-smelling pus.
.
In the fence behind them, more than a dozen trebuchets were lined up, and some were still firing occasionally, but what was thrown was not huge rocks, but jars of jars, and some even used Yanghe Daqu or Taohua stuffed wine.
A wine jar like this, but the content inside is not wine, but kerosene mixed with sulfur and saltpeter.
These kerosene are already on the battlefield, flowing everywhere, especially in the ditch, where fires are burning and rockets are being fired accurately. Wherever there are standing immortal monsters, there is kerosene.
, the rockets will follow, and when the arrows meet the kerosene, they will immediately turn the burning arrows into a large burning fire field. Even ordinary corpses lying motionless on the ground will be burned to pieces.
Cleaned.
Xu Daofu just stared and gritted his teeth, but he was helpless. The lieutenant beside him was Lu Zitong, who had just come from the water channel and was still soaked. He was Lu Xun's nephew and his direct disciple.
The man who specially came from the front line of Shogunate Mountain to supervise the battle looked at the battle ahead and sighed: "Third Master Uncle, should we consider withdrawing our troops?"
Xu Daofu said in a deep voice: "The battle is still going on, why are we talking about retreating? These damn Xianbei guns are just taking advantage of the geographical advantage to set up defenses in this narrow muddy field. If it were on flat ground, I would
A flanking attack would have killed them long ago."
Lu Zitong said coldly: "Uncle Third Master, you are also a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Why do you still say such things like a child? The problem now is like this. The battlefield is so narrow, and the Tiandao Alliance that was originally agreed upon
The reinforcements are not there. After the Immortal Man's tactics were successfully used once, they are no longer easy to use. They run slowly. Now they are hit by a big gun in front, a ditch is blocking the road, and there is a wall of fire blocking them. They are unable to do so.
A breakthrough has occurred. Do you have a solution?"
Xu Daofu said bitterly: "There is a way. Look, our sergeants are making catapults on site and searching for stones. There are rubbles and ruins everywhere, all of which are demolished houses, and some are stones. As long as the catapult is erected.
, we can crush these Xianbei dogs to death right away."
Lu Zitong laughed: "Yes, it stands to reason, but you don't have ready-made wood tools, so you have to cut down trees on the spot, and then you don't even have animal tendons, so you have to dismantle the strings of these bows and crossbows on site and twist them together to become tendons."
, Master Xu, if I give you two, no, three hours, can you build a catapult?"
Xu Daofu did not answer, but held his hands together tightly, and the joints kept crackling, almost turning into a stone.
Lu Zitong looked at Xu Daofu's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and softened his tone: "Uncle Xu, as a general, you should know how to advance and retreat. My master asked me to come here to tell you that his bluff in the north has been given to you.
The Jin army saw through it. I am afraid that Liu Yu is mobilizing troops and horses at this moment. On the way here, he has warships on the river that can be evacuated at any time. However, the tens of thousands of elites you have here have to leave by waterway.
If the Jin army pours water or even fire oil before you retreat to the river, and then floods or fires attack these secret passages, then we will all be killed here like rats."
Xu Daofu's eyes narrowed slightly: "What if I don't leave? What if I simply set up camp here, or go back to attack Xinting and Stone City Fortress, and take over the land on the banks of the Hexi River?"
Lu Zitong shook his head: "Since this offensive, we have made large-scale landings in Hexi three times, and none of them have been able to break through the second high slope in front of Xinting Fortress. Then you are not the one in Xinting Fortress.
I don’t know, it’s tall and solid, with an unobstructed view of everything. Even facing our current direction, it’s heavily guarded. We rely on troops like us who don’t even have catapults, and we don’t have ladders. Let alone 10,000 horses, even if it’s a hundred thousand troops, we can attack by force.
, and it is impossible to capture it. Uncle Xu, as a general, you must not act on your own initiative. When we came here, we were counting on the Tiandao League's Doupeng to send troops to rescue him as he promised, but now, there is not a single soldier from the Tiandao League.
As a result, we were unable to break through the Nantang defense line at all."
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "These damn old ghosts from the Tiandao Alliance are really taking advantage of us. However, they are not completely lying. At least, we have an inside job."
Lu Zitong said solemnly: "What's the use of one or two people inside? What we need is thousands of troops. What we need is an army from the rear to attack these Jin troops, not reinforcements from the Jin army coming continuously. Now
We can still evacuate, but if we don’t leave, I’m afraid we won’t be able to evacuate.”
The muscles on Xu Daofu's face were beating gently, and he was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. The battle has been going on until now. It is really difficult to leave, but not willingly, and to attack, but not sure.
Finally, Xu Daofu stamped his foot and said sternly: "Let me attack one last time. If we can't take it down, we will retreat. Zitong, you cheer for me from the rear. If you can break through the Jin army's defense line, you can march straight in."
, if you can't break through, you can lead your brothers to retreat from the ten waterways first, and I will stay behind."
Lu Zitong was a little surprised: "Uncle Xu, are you going to lead the attack personally? You are the coach, so you can't act rashly."
Xu Daofu said in a deep voice: "If we can't capture Nantang, we will be defeated this time. How can we be the leader? Send an order to the whole army, blow all the conchs, and follow me to attack!"
