When he received the battle notice yesterday, Qin Fang was still thinking that unless Wang Pingping could fly over, it would be impossible to rush from Bohai County to Yi County so quickly to lead the entire Xu family army.
However, no one expected that his words would come true and Wang Pingping would actually fly over!
I saw a gray cloth ball floating towards Yi County from the north, which seemed to be slow, but was actually very fast. Following the southwest wind, in the blink of an eye, the noon sun was covered by this cloth ball. In Gongsun Jun's sight,
A shadow fell from the sky above.
Looking at the area where the shadow fell, Qin Fang and others clearly realized how huge this gray cloth ball in the sky was.
The gray cloth ball was suspended high in the sky, and a large basket hung below. In the basket, stood four or five people, one of whom was Wang Pingping herself, who had given them the battle notice yesterday.
"What is this? It actually brought people to heaven!" the soldiers in Gongsun's army asked in shock.
However, the ground is too far away from the sky, and the people above cannot hear their questions and cannot answer them.
But the huge shadow cast by the hot air balloon made the confident Gongsun army panic.
The Xu Jiajun's war drums sounded so loudly that people's hearts shrank.
Gongsun Zan looked up at the hanging basket in the sky. The basket was slowly descending and finally floating at a height of about a hundred meters above the ground. Wang Pingping's half-smiling face seemed to be clearly visible.
When the woman cast her confident gaze down, Gongsun Zan's breathing stopped for a moment.
Although he didn't know how Wang Pingping got into the air, as a general with rich combat experience, he immediately realized that the enemy had an absolute field of vision, so no matter what changes they made, the opponent would see them clearly.
Chu.
Moreover, you can react immediately when they change their formation.
Gongsun Zan has not forgotten that Xu Jiajun also has a magical weapon that can transmit sounds from thousands of miles away!
"General?!"
The generals all looked at Gongsun Zan in panic. They were so shocked by the huge hot air balloon above their heads that they didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, Xu Jiajun's military drums became louder and louder. Then, the originally long team suddenly changed. In a very short two minutes, a square formation was formed from a long snake formation, and five square formations were neatly formed.
They were lying outside Gongsun's army camp.
They were already prepared and could launch a charge as soon as Wang Pingping gave the order from overhead.
The sound of the drums became more and more intense, and the soldiers on both sides tensed up, and the battle was about to break out.
Gongsun Zan took a deep look at the huge balloon above his head. The arrow was on the string and had to be fired!
He took a deep breath, waved the command flag, and said, "Come with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man on a white horse rushed out first, leading thousands of troops behind him to kill towards the opposite phalanx.
Wang Pingping watched the military formation on the ground from the air, watching Gongsun Zan lead the soldiers into the green plain, then picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke calmly:
"The enemy is charging towards our central square formation at a speed of fifteen meters per second. They are setting up shields and fortresses to lure the enemy into a circle, encircle and destroy them!"
The three Zhao Bei brothers below received the order and immediately waved the military chess to command the shield soldiers to stand up and built a high shield wall in front of the square formation.
When Gongsun's army was about to arrive, a hole was opened in the shield fort. Seeing the enemy troops rushing in on horseback, they immediately closed the shield fort, trapping the soldiers and horses in the middle.
At this time, infantrymen armed with spears rushed out and annihilated the enemy.
In the first confrontation between the two sides, Gongsun's army was unable to break through the Xu family's formation, but instead lost many soldiers.
Qin Fang said in shock: "General, the shields of Xu's army are too hard and the formation cannot be broken up!"
Gongsun Zan turned around and glanced at the dark fortress built with shields, and with a strong heart, he said, "Charge again!"
Qin Fang and other generals nodded and waved their flags, asking the cavalry to regroup and charge backwards from the north.
Wang Pingping saw it clearly from the sky, and then ordered: "The enemy will launch a second charge, our troops are in formation and pay attention!"
The Xu family's military formation quickly changed direction and erected a shield wall toward the north.
The Gongsun Army charged forward menacingly, but the Xu Family Army still used the same tactics as before. The Gongsun Army cavalry could not gain any favor, so they had no choice but to rush out of the Xu Family Army formation and assemble again.
"General, this is terrible!" a general shouted bitterly.
Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes slightly, waved the military chess piece again, prepared his bow camp, and fired thousands of arrows, which fell from the air towards the Xu family's military formation like rain.
Xu Jiajun's shield hand immediately raised his shield to resist, blocking the wave of arrows.
"I didn't expect the Xu family army to prepare so many shields!" Qin Fang said angrily.
But that's not the most irritating thing. At the most irritating moment, Wang Pingping was floating in the air openly and quietly watching their every move.
The soldiers from both sides fought for three rounds, but Gongsun Zan was unable to do anything to the Xu family's army. This absolute defensive power gave Gongsun Zan a bad feeling.
Looking at Wang Pingping in the air, she has made such a big ball that can fly. She will definitely not just stand on it and look at it.
They have just tried three rounds in a row, and Xu Jiajun only defended and did not attack. Is it possible that there is a big move waiting for them behind?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan felt a chill in his heart.
"General!" Qin Fang suddenly exclaimed and motioned Gongsun Zan to look forward.
Gongsun Zan stared and saw five trebuchet-like machines suddenly appearing on the hillside behind the Xu family's formation.
Seeing these five big guys, Gongsun Zan immediately thought of the fierce war drums he heard earlier.
At that time, I only thought that Xu Jiajun was extremely arrogant. I never thought that the sound of drums was just to cover up the movement of the trebuchet.
"Do they want to hit us with big rocks?" the general of Gongsun Army asked doubtfully.
But everyone knows that there is a flat plain nearby. It is impossible for Xu Jiajun to obtain huge rocks in such a short period of time?
If they don't throw stones, what are they going to throw?
"It looks like iron barrels!" Qin Fang's sharp eyes saw several wheelbarrows appearing under the trebuchet, and on top of the carts were several crispy iron barrels.
Although he didn't know what was in the iron bucket, the sense of crisis in Gongsun Zan's heart had reached its peak.
In particular, he had seen Wang Pingping pick up her divine arm bow on the hot air balloon.
Of the four soldiers behind her, one was responsible for controlling the height of the hot air balloon, while the remaining three lit the rocket.
Wang Pingping took the rocket from his subordinates, put it on the divine arm bow, and while taking aim, five trebuchets also threw crispy iron barrels towards Gongsun's army.
Gongsun Zan watched helplessly as the five iron barrels drew a perfect parabola in the air, and shouted:
"Avoid quickly!"
When the soldiers heard the sound, they immediately drove their horses and fled.
At this moment, five rockets were fired from the sky, and they accurately made close contact with the iron barrel two meters away from the ground.
At that moment, Gongsun Zan smelled a pungent smell, which was saltpeter and sulfur.
