Zhu Lingxiu gritted his teeth, pointed to the sky in the distance, and said, "Brother Longshi, look at what this is."
Hu Longshi stopped, put his hand on the awning and looked up. His expression immediately changed, because he clearly saw the black crows of the Kongming Lantern floating from the sky, and it had already reached the top of the smoke and dust that were fighting in front, and the ten people who started it were
Some pots and pans have been thrown down on several Kongming lanterns.
Hu Longshi jumped up almost instinctively and shouted: "Is this the demon thief's aerial fire attack?"
Zhu Lingxiu sighed, and saw that at this time, the sky, which had become extremely dark due to the sun setting in the west, suddenly became brighter. That was because countless torches were dropped on these Kongming lanterns, one by one.
The torch coated with rosin and kerosene passed over the burning fire of the Kongming Lantern, and suddenly it became a torch. It was dropped from the hanging basket and thrown into the smoke and dust where many kerosene jars had fallen.
Immediately, flames soared into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten feet. From a distance, it seemed as if they would burn these Kongming lanterns flying four or five feet above the ground.
The sound of screams in front of us could not be heard without stopping, and they immediately overshadowed the sound of charging and killing that filled the sky just now. The entire smoke and dust, the front more than 300 steps wide, and the space of 30 steps suddenly turned into a sea of fire, enough to kill the pursuers just now.
The Jin Army soldiers, as well as the Tiandao Alliance soldiers who were escaping or still fighting, were all wrapped up. From time to time, Jin Army soldiers covered in fire could be seen rushing out of the sea of fire and rolling all over the ground.
, I want to extinguish the flames on my body.
Hu Longshi's eyes sparkled with tears and he trembled unconsciously: "This, this fire attack burned the men and horses on both sides together. Is the thief so cruel that he doesn't care about his own soldiers?"
Zhu Lingxiu shook his head: "That's what I said to Brother Daoji just now. Don't they care about their own people? But Brother Daoji said that thieves are like this. They have no humanity at all, let alone life and death among our brothers.
Friendship, in the eyes of the thief leader, all his subordinates are chess pieces that can be sacrificed at any time, and he will not hesitate to let them die for the sake of victory. I was just doubtful about it just now, but now, I really believe it."
Hu Longshi gritted his teeth: "Then, why don't we all retreat? Why did the entire team only bring me back? Why did you have to beat drums to let us march before?"
Zhu Lingxiu said in a deep voice: "Brother Longshi, the order to beat the drum just now was issued by an undercover criminal. He is the messenger Han Zeyu. He is a spy lurking around us. He deliberately falsely conveyed the military order. Unfortunately, the marching drum horn has already been issued.
, you also rushed out like this, even if Brother Daoji ordered Ming Jin, it was too late, and when you heard Ming Jin's voice just now, did you retreat?"
Hu Longshi shook his head in self-blame: "It's my fault. I only wanted to kill the thieves and take revenge. Seeing that all the teams on the left and right were advancing, I didn't want to fall behind. I violated military orders and caused all the soldiers in the team to be caught in the sea of fire."
, Brother Lingxiu, you, please kill me, I will never have the shame to go back and face everyone."
Zhu Lingxiu sighed: "Brother Longshi, I came to save you at the risk of falling into the sea of fire, but I didn't want you to come back to enforce military law and lose your life. No matter what, the main force of our rear army is...
I'm afraid they will all be thrown into this sea of fire, but the demon thieves can still retain thousands of troops to attack. The most troublesome thing is these sky lanterns. If they are allowed to float to the Chinese army, they will also be set on fire in the air, then today's battle will be a disaster.
It’s really dangerous.”
Hu Longshi gritted his teeth: "Then what should we do now? What else can I do to prevent this?"
Zhu Lingxiu looked at Hu Longshi motionlessly and said: "Brother Daoji has always saved a hand in this battle. Now three red flame flags have been erected. Three hundred archers have gathered there. They also have five thousand rockets.
It is used to deal with this Kongming Lantern."
Hu Longshi's heart moved, and he quickly said: "Five thousand rockets? Oh my god, I just let the wooden armor machine kill them directly in front of me, but they still didn't use them. I thought we had no long-range weapons like crossbows at all."
Zhu Lingxiu nodded: "Brother Daoji is still calm. He believes that the enemy must have other means. We must keep enough defensive weapons. Brother Longshi, you are the best archer in the world.
My son is also the best archer in our army. Now, we need you to command these archers, and we must not let the Kongming Lantern float towards the direction of the Chinese army."
Hu Longshi gritted his teeth: "There is no problem with this. The current general tower is the only way for these sky lanterns to float towards the Chinese army. It is very likely that the thieves will burn our general tower. You tell Brother Daoji to withdraw as soon as possible. I
Now go to the archers."
Tan Daoji's voice came from behind: "Long Shi, the trap over the general platform is a trap I deliberately set to confuse the demon thieves. Now you go with me to the archery team."
Hu Longshi and Zhu Lingxiu were moved at the same time. They raised their heads and looked at the source of the sound. They saw Tan Daoji riding a war horse and coming from Juechen. There were only two or three guards following him, and there was a determination in his eyes.
With a calm look, he saw Hu Longshi and nodded: "Very good, Longshi, we are alive to meet again."
Hu Longshi's eyes filled with tears, and he almost cried: "Brother Daoji, me, my brothers, my family, they..."
Tan Daoji waved his hand: "Needless to say, this is war. There will be death and parting every moment, but we don't have time to mourn the dead now. Now, all the methods of the demon thieves should be used. They are
We must capture our rear army position and then drive our remnants to counterattack the central army, because our rear army guards the retreat of the army. Once the demon thieves succeed, the morale of our army will be greatly reduced. Therefore, we will never
You can retreat at this time."
Zhu Lingxiu gritted his teeth: "Brother Daoji, everyone understands the truth, but now we are short of troops. Now all our gong players, drummers, and archers added together are less than 500 people, which is the number of enemy troops."
There are at least five thousand, not counting these sky lanterns, we cannot resist them."
Tan Daoji shook his head: "Don't worry too much, the wall of fire ahead will buy us some time, and whether it is our army or the enemy, the remaining troops who escaped from the wall of fire will also have time to regroup. Within a quarter of an hour, the enemy's army will
It's impossible to attack from the front, we just need to think about how to deal with these guys."
As he spoke, he pointed at the flying Kongming lanterns in the sky more than two hundred steps ahead, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. ()
