Chapter 1190 Please add some ingredients to the jar
The night is deep.
Starry.
The sound of screams and shouts echoed across 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.
"More people... more people..." Xu Huang squinted, and the cold light on the swords and spears raised by the Qiang people shone in his pupils, like 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, the number of Qiang people is increasing, and they are coming up in dense numbers, just like overturning the old nest.
Countless swords and guns were like flying sand and rocks 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 grinding sound that made one's teeth ache. 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 was a weakling, Xu Huang wouldn't mind sending Ma Chao on his way, but the problem was that Ma Chao wasn't.
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 was so powerful that it was cost-effective to trade lives, so he was eager to hold Xu Huang back. On the contrary, although Xu Huang was protected by heavy armor, he was not as agile as Ma Chao. If he was dragged into a tough battle, he would definitely die.
Therefore, we can only isolate ourselves from Ma Chao and fight our own battles.
Ma Chao pierced another shield with one shot, killing Xu Huang's soldiers behind the shield. However, 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 did not say a word, but fought hard, attacking the Qiang people with one axe after another. In front of Xu Huang, the Qiang people were cut down one by one, as if they were being harvested.
But after all, there were a large number of Qiang people. Although the Qiang people who faced Xu Huang were frightened, there were still many unknown Qiang people coming forward from behind.
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 him, Ma Chao!
"If you don't surrender, you will die!" Ma Chao shouted with some pride, "Press 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, ignored the protest of his sore and swollen arms, and pulled out the tomahawk again with all his strength. Then he 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 farther back, the faster the strength decreases. In addition, many sword and shield players have been damaged in order to stop Ma Chao, 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 of blood on the mask, and making Xu Huang's heart skip a beat. He had already exited the water gate!
Thirty steps back, there is the Qingni River!
There is no way back!
Several Qiang people rushed forward in a daze, waving 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 in one place, and the sounds of weapons clashing and screams were endless.
Rushing over now?
Several Qiang people were in disbelief.
"Young Commander! Young...er..."
Just before the Qiang man waved his sword at Ma Chao and shouted 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 bloody arrow pierced through his chest, strangling all his sounds between his chest and abdomen, and fell 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, and then bent it
The bow shot towards Minato, shouting: "Minato! Wind! Strong wind!"
"Wind! Strong wind!"
Across the Qingni River, the archers from the Shesheng Battalion roared in unison, slanting their bows toward the junction of the water gate and toward the front of Xu Huang's military formation, where the Qiang people were most crowded, and fired a shower of arrows!
The snow-white arrow tail feathers drew a beautiful arc in the night sky, and what followed was an ordinary arrow with black tail feathers of variegated colors, 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, and a large number of them were shot down amidst 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 against the pillar at the water gate. After all, the shadow of Ma Chao's last encounter with Zhengxi's strong crossbow has not yet 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 shooting at him?
Ma Chao hesitated for a moment and lost the best time.
"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 blood, watched Xu Huang retreat. They bit Xu Huang and refused to let go despite the rain of arrows. They chased and slashed with all their lives. 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 too exhausted to climb. Fortunately,
Several soldiers on the side of the ship worked together to push him onto the side of the ship...
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 it weren't for these soldiers, they would have been either Xu Huang's personal guards or members of the army.
With the elites, and the fact that Xu Huang, as the head coach of the Chinese Army, insisted on being on the front line, I am afraid that the morale of the army collapsed long ago and they were defeated.
When Ma Chao saw Xu Huang retreating, he jumped anxiously. 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 if he is throwing a spear, it is different. 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 through the spears that followed, 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.
"... Throw oil! Raise fire!" Xu Huang boarded the boat and roared through gritted teeth. He turned to look at Xu Yu's body on the shore, his eyes 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 was not the kind of violent fire oil that Zhengxi prepared in Bingbei, the general mixture of animal fat and pine oil was also a very terrifying combustion accelerant.
The sound of the earthen jar breaking was like the grim smile of the God of Death, which made Ma Chao's face turn pale!
"careful……"
Before he finished his 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, there was a great deal of brilliance, reflecting half of the sky!
The fire is like a blood lotus, blooming in the camp, blooming wantonly!
The baggage carts 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 Minato's persistence, step by step
The purpose of retreating is to allow more Qiang people to rush into the camp. Everything is for the sake of this fire!
Please put yourself in the urn and add some fire!
By the way, seal the lid of the urn again...
It's a pity that Xu Yu...
Xu Huang looked at the steaming flames and suddenly remembered what General Fei Qian had said before: "...Today you won, but you also lost. You lost, not to your opponent, but to your opponent."
yourself……"
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 at the water gate, at Ma Chao's figure in the flickering firelight, and at Xu Yu's body lying on the shore, and murmured softly, "...is it a win, or is it...
Lost..."
"No matter what, I am going to bury the Ma family, and I will crouch 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 up the river! Kill them without mercy.
, will not surrender!"
The Qiang people who were burned by the flames rushed to 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 water, but deadly arrows!
Earthen jars filled with oil fell from the sky one after another, continuing to add fuel to the already burning camp fire. The exploding and splashing grease left the Qiang soldiers in the camp with nowhere to hide. If they were accidentally contaminated with grease, they would immediately catch fire!
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 years old, they are exactly within the shooting range of the most lethal bow and arrow. There is no need to worry.
The archers who were injured by accident almost just shot straight away. Sometimes the Qiang people who rushed out were shot by several archers at the same time, and they fell back to the camp.
As the flames of the camp soared into the sky, the sky turned red, and rows of torches suddenly lit up in the distance in the lower direction, and the stars seemed to stretch to the sky!
It’s over, it’s a trap!
Many Qiang people couldn't help but have the same idea in their minds...
The rumbling war drums shook the earth and shook 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 been tired 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.
