Things on both sides sounded complicated, but in fact they happened very quickly. When Xiao Hei had just flown back from investigating the enemy's situation, Yue Congshan had been assassinated and fell. As soon as Meng Shixiong gave the order to retreat, Xia Yu had already begun to think about countermeasures.
The two thousand horse archers have fallen, and the remaining cavalry that can fight only account for a small half of the total army. The rest are infantry. Although they have an advantage in numbers compared to the enemy, in the absence of good defenses
Under this situation, it is difficult for infantry to take advantage of the opponent's elite cavalry in field battles.
Not to mention Xia. Although their personal cultivation is generally higher than that of Hailuo City's guards, they are good at fighting alone, and at most small-scale team battles. Once they face an army with unified orders, they will definitely suffer a loss.
.And the rangers have been living here recently, and many of them have
There are no horses. The leading figures in Hailuo City have already left first. Those people move slowly and it is difficult to escape the enemy's pursuit. Although Meng Shixiong ordered the army to cut off the rear, under extremely unfavorable circumstances, these soldiers who had not undergone strict training
It’s hard to follow orders and prohibitions. I’m afraid if you don’t stick to it for a long time, things will get messed up.
inches, which turned into a rout.
Xia Yu kept his hands on, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart, although the cavalry archers were down, but the horses were still there, they should be able to equip a cavalry, but I don't know if Meng Shixiong can think of it, and I don't know.
Did Deng Shui poison the war horses...
But those are all things that will happen later. Xia Yu’s lips raised slightly, now... it’s up to me!
At this time, the Song brothers and sisters, Ye Qianmo and others also came over. Ye Zizi asked doubtfully: "Brother Yuwen, Brother Qiao, what are you doing?"
Qiao Xiaopang shook the arrow in his hand and said with a smile: "Yuwen is going to make a rocket to light up the beacon!"
"Light the beacon? Are you bragging?" Ye Qianmo looked at the direction of the beacon and asked in disbelief, "How can it be shot from such a distance?"
"It's hard for others to say, but Yuwen can definitely do it!" Qiao Xiaopang laughed. "It's really ridiculous!" Ji Baiyu snorted, took out a gorgeous bow from the storage ring, took out an arrow, and opened the bow.
The arrow was shot in the direction of the beacon tower. The arrow was seen flying straight across the air for a certain distance, and then fell down helplessly. It was about a few meters away from the beacon tower.
There is half the distance.
Ji Baiyu put down his bow and looked at Xia Yu with contempt, "It's not that I don't understand archery. You can fool others, but you can't fool me! You can't shoot from such a long distance!"
Xia Yu glanced at his extremely gorgeous long bow inlaid with gems, smiled, and said, "I have my own way!"
Ji Baiyu paused for a moment and couldn't help but "hum" again, thinking to himself that this kid still dares to brag! Well, let him be proud for a while first, and wait until he can't shoot, and see how I humiliate him!
Zhao Xinru asked: "Master Yuwen, are you going to shoot arrows when we get closer?"
Xia Yu shook his head, "There are enemies over there. If you go there, you will be disturbed. You can do it here."
At this time, many other rangers nearby were also attracted. One or two of them could also use bows and arrows. They all tried shooting one or two arrows, and then they all shook their heads and said that the distance was too far. Xia Yu did not explain. Ji Baiyu
Seeing this scene, I sneered even more. Among the people present,
The only person who really has confidence in Xia Yu is Qiao Xiaopang, who is Ye Zizi. Qiao Xiaopang does it because she knows Xia Yu, but Ye Zizi trusts Xia Yu blindly. She looked at Xia Yu holding the hand carefully.
of arrows, and asked: "Brother Yuwen, why are your arrows so strange?
Weird? Why did you make so many? And there are two different types of arrows?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "Both of these are arrows that can be used to ignite fire. We will need them soon..." The beacon tower of Xuantian Continent was filled with dry firewood, reeds and other extremely flammable things, and also added
It uses some special fuel, which can be ignited with just a little spark. Once burned, it can continuously produce a large amount of fire and smoke, day or night, and in far away places.
They can all see it, but it is not easy to send the fire with arrows now. The first is the distance. Where Xia Yu and the others are, they are about two miles away from the beacon tower, beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows. Just now Xia Yu used the
Xiaopang Qiao took cover and quietly put on the black bow brought from the ancient elf country. But even the black bow couldn't shoot straight.
It requires a large elevation angle to be ejected. When ejected, the bow and arrow fly in the air for a relatively long time and are susceptible to various interferences, which leads to another issue of accuracy. Anyone who knows the art knows that the bow and arrow shoot straight
The accuracy is high. Large-angle throws are not aimed at. They are generally used in military formations to deal with archers.
The method used when the opponent forms a dense formation is to attack the enemy in a covering manner, making it difficult to accurately target an individual.
If Xia Yu wants to light that little beacon now, he must hit it accurately. In this regard, Xia Yu doesn't have much experience, but with Xiao Hei's shared vision and his precise intuition, Xia Yu can
I feel somewhat certain. But the Rockets are not
It's a regular arrow. In most people's imagination, if you wrap the head of an ordinary arrow with cloth, dip it in some oil, light it and shoot it out, it will become a rocket. In fact, it is wrong. If you do that, the arrow will explode the moment it is shot.
will go out. Because the arrow flies very fast,
During flight, the flame will peel away from the fuel, and then the temperature of the fuel will quickly drop below the ignition point, and the fire will be extinguished.
One kind of rocket that can really burn is to have a windshield in front of the arrow, which is made into a cage-like shape. Put flammable materials inside, dip it in kerosene, and wait for the arrow to burn before shooting out. This is an open rocket. Summer
This is the kind of arrow Yu made on his hand. The other one is
Use a long iron arrowhead, burn it red-hot and then wrap it in oilcloth. Although the flame of this arrow will go out after being shot, after hitting the arrow, the residual heat of the arrow will ignite the oilcloth again. This is a dark rocket.
What Xia Yu asked Fatty Qiao to do just now was to burn arrows on the bonfire
head.
At this time, Zhang Tieqiang and Wu Ziguang, who had participated in the moving task of Zhou Yuanwai with Xia Yu and the others last time, also came from a distance. Zhang Tieqiang greeted loudly: "Brother Yuwen, didn't General Meng ask us to retreat on our own? Why are you still there?
Don’t want to leave? Do you plan to do something here?”
Xia Yu said with a smile: "General Meng will definitely arrange for people to cut off the queen. We plan to light the beacon first, and then follow the people who cut off the queen."
"Okay! Then we'll join you!" Zhang Tieqiang asked, "How do you light the beacon? Are you going to kill them? It seems like there's a lively fight over there!"
"Look at me!" Xia Yu smiled slightly and gently placed the arrow in his hand on the bowstring. On the arrow, fire was burning.
