Seeing that the men and horses under his command were unable to stop the two hundred heavy armors, the more than a thousand spearmen behind them formed a large formation, and a large hedgehog also rushed up. There were also hundreds of swordsmen, who were fighting each other in groups.
With the cooperation, it started turning like a windmill, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Army could not get forward at all.
Now Li Yuanchao finally knows what it means to have elite soldiers and strong generals. Compared with the soldiers of Zuo Zhenwei, these soldiers under his command are simply farmers! But he has forgotten that most of the soldiers under his command actually put down their hoes and picked up their swords.
Farmers. Without formal training or several battles, such soldiers may be brave and invincible in the world by relying on the strength of their numbers to fight against the wind. Once they encounter a slight setback, they will immediately run away without being able to stop them.
.
There was really no other way, so he had people pour out the boiling vegetable oil, and then ordered the archers to set the oil on fire with rockets.
Li Yuanchao had no choice but to give up the Black Flag Army that was drawn in by Zuo Zhenwei's soldiers. If he allowed Zuo Zhenwei's men to charge up another twenty steps, he would definitely be defeated. Once Zuo Zhenwei's men rushed up the hillside,
Losing the geographical advantage and his combat effectiveness being far inferior to that of Zuo Zhenwei, what else could he use to fight?
He had no choice but to give up and get rid of the five or six hundred Black Flag Army soldiers who were dragged in by Zuo Zhenwei's men.
The vegetable oil flowed down the hillside, and the archers shot the ignited arrows. After hundreds of arrows, the vegetable oil on the ground was finally ignited. The hay on the hillside burst into flames, and thousands of people were fighting fiercely on the hillside.
The men and horses were gradually engulfed in flames.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Li Pu stabbed a Black Flag Army soldier to death and kicked the body hanging on the sword away. Seeing the fire, he had no choice but to shout loudly to ask the Park swordsmen and heavy armored infantry who were rushing in front to move back.
.Heavy armored infantry move slowly, and if they are caught in the flames, even the gods cannot save them.
The well-trained Zuo Zhenwei soldiers began to retreat, but they did not panic. The lightly armored swordsmen covered the heavy armored infantry and retreated. After breaking away from the battle group, they began to speed down the mountain.
The fire burned faster than people could run. Soon, many people were surrounded by raging fire.
An isolation belt about ten meters wide had been dug out on the hillside before. Although the flames could not burn it, the hot flames hitting people's faces were also a bit unbearable. The Black Flag Army soldiers on the hillside watched helplessly.
He looked at the former Pao Ze who had no time to run back and was swallowed up by the tongues of fire. Almost none of the hundreds of Black Flag Army soldiers who fought fiercely with Zuo Zhenwei on the hillside ran back, and their struggling and twisted figures could still be seen in the flames.
A soldier of the Black Flag Army ran back with his whole body on fire and howled. The more he ran, the more the fire burned on his body, but he did not dare to stop. The robes on the hillside were already very close. He believed that as long as he ran
If he goes back, the soldiers will save him immediately. The flames are burning in front of his eyes. He can hear the roar of the fire on his body, but he firmly believes that as long as he runs back, he will survive. He has already reached the edge of the isolation zone.
, but stepped into a horse pit and fell to the ground. He fell down and never had the strength to stand up.
The fire in his body was still burning. He felt that his throat hurt so much that he couldn't scream for help. He tried desperately to stand up, but he could only lift one arm. Then, he saw the flame on his arm.
, and also smelled a foul odor.
Paoze was burned alive just a few meters away, and then slowly turned into a charred corpse. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army watched him die, but no one went to save him. Because everyone knew who
There was nothing we could do to save him. If he hadn't run away and rolled on the spot, he might have survived.
Dozens of the slowest running heavy armored infantry were swallowed up by the flames. They could hold on for a while relying on their thick armor, but as time went by, when the flames heated up their armor, it turned red.
, the pain they endured was doubly unbearable. The red-hot iron armor stuck to the skin, and the skin squeaked from the heat. Oil came out from the gaps in the iron armor and burned.
Only a dozen of the two hundred heavy armor soldiers died in the hands of the Black Flag Army soldiers, but more than fifty people were burned to death by the fire. Their death wails shattered the quiet night sky, even the originally bright and bright
It seemed that the moon couldn't bear to look at this cruel scene anymore, and stretched out her hand to cover her eyes by a dark cloud that came out of nowhere.
The smell of burnt meat lingered in the air, making it nauseating.
Two thousand Zuo Zhenwei soldiers rushed up the hillside, but only more than 1,100 people retreated, and more than 800 strong men were killed in the sea of fire.
Relying on a large fire, Li Yuanchao finally defeated Zuo Zhenwei's first wave of offensive. But he was not happy at all. He frowned and looked at the tragic scene below the hillside, feeling bitter in his heart as if he had swallowed a mouthful of coptis.
.Zuo Zhenwei marched quickly and rushed to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. He immediately organized an attack without rest for a while. Such a tired army couldn't resist the first wave of attacks on his men and horses!
This attack can be blocked with a large fire, and there are still residual fires burning. It is impossible for Zuo Zhenwei's men to attack again tonight. But what about tomorrow? After the flames are extinguished and the grass is burned, how can they repel them?
The enemy's second attack?
Sighing, Li Yuanchao knew that he could no longer have any reservations. Although the Zuo Zhenwei soldiers at the foot of the mountain were exhausted, they were still like wolves and tigers. If they don't work hard and fight with all their lives, they will never be able to stop him.
Stop the opponent's attack.
Zheng Chao did not expect that these bandits of the Black Flag Army would be so ferocious! They set fire to the mountain and burned them alive together with their people. This ferocity even made Zheng Chao ashamed. He cherished the soldiers under his command and could not do anything.
He made such a cruel decision, and the death of the eight hundred warriors aroused his anger.
"Move up the crossbow truck and shoot upward! Li Yi, lead your men and prepare to attack!"
Zheng Chao ordered in a low voice, with a terrifyingly gloomy face.
"General!"
Li Yi knelt down on one knee and said: "General, it's not that my subordinates are timid and shrinking, but the situation is that we really can't attack anymore. The fire has not been extinguished, and the soldiers are exhausted after running for hundreds of miles.
It’s no longer appropriate to attack! I beg the general to take back the general order and let the soldiers rest for a night. My subordinates will rush up with their own soldiers tomorrow and will not retreat until the top of the mountain is captured! I am willing to issue a military order!"
Zheng Chao didn't know that it was not appropriate to continue the attack now. He said this, just acting like a general. Eight hundred soldiers were killed by the enemy, and he had to show his anger.
"The soldiers are really tired. If they had more strength, they would not be unable to withdraw. General, tomorrow morning my subordinates will attack the mountain with General Li Yi! General, please note down the blame for today's defeat. If it happens tomorrow morning,
If we can't attack, I will commit suicide to apologize!"
Li Pu wiped the blood on his face that had not yet been dried, knelt down on one knee and said.
There are steps, Zheng Chao must come down.
"Give me the order to set up camp at the foot of the mountain tonight, and attack the mountain after sunrise tomorrow to kill those grass bandits!"
After hearing the general's order, they no longer had to brave the fatigue to attack the mountain. The soldiers of Zuo Zhenwei breathed a long sigh of relief, and then began to get busy. They began to cut down trees and set up arrow tents. The fire-headed soldiers set up on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
The big pot started cooking, and soon bursts of hot steam came out.
The Zuo Zhenwei soldiers who had eaten their full stomachs all got into the tent to rest, except for those on night watch. Soon, bursts of snoring could be heard in the tent. They were all really tired, and they felt like dead pigs as soon as they came down.
Fell asleep as well.
Early on the next morning, when the sun had just risen, Zheng Chao had already put on his armor and stood in front of the camp. He looked up at the Black Flag Army who were also waiting on the hillside, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"Order! Fire the ballistae to suppress the enemy's archers!"
"Order! The giant shield bearer is in front, and the archers use rockets to shoot at the enemy's oil pans!"
"Order! Two thousand simple swordsmen are behind, each of them is assigned a throwing spear, and they can throw the spear at the enemy thirty steps before the battle!"
"Command! General Li Pu and general Li Yi lead the troops to attack the mountain. They cannot take the military law from the top of the mountain today!"
Zheng Chao issued several battle orders in succession, then waved his hand and said: "Bring up the drum! I will beat the drum myself!"
Li Pu suddenly took off the white cloth wrapped around his face, and asked the soldiers to take off his armor and the cotton clothes underneath. He was shirtless, revealing his bronzed muscles. He took off his horse
He threw it on the ground casually, replaced it with a horizontal knife, and tied it to his right hand with a cloth strip.
"Fight with me! Avenge your dead brothers!"
He shouted, followed behind the giant shield bearer, and led one hundred of his own soldiers to press forward.
At two hundred and fifty paces, the archers of the Black Flag Army began to fire. This time, the ones who came forward were all swordsmen, each carrying a personal shield, but at about two hundred and fifty paces, there were still some swordsmen in their hands.
There were very few people with shields. I don’t know why, but they abandoned their shields on the hillside as they walked. However, the archers of the Black Flag Army were not professional enough, and the arrows they threw had limited lethality, only more than a hundred
People were nailed to the ground. Although many people were injured by simple feather arrows, it did not affect their actions. Moreover, after being suppressed by Zuo Zhenwei's ballistae, the Black Flag Army's archers also suffered heavy losses.
Repeating yesterday's battle scene, the archers of Zuo Zhenwei began to fight back at about 120 steps.
Fifty steps later, the rolling log was lowered again, but the effect was minimal.
Seeing that Zuo Zhenwei's soldiers were about to rush into the front of the position, as Li Yuanchao shouted, three thousand well-armored inner camp soldiers waved their swords and rushed down the hillside like wolves. The soldiers on both sides were completely helpless.
The fancy ones collided together, immediately causing a wave of blood.
The soldiers in the inner camp were far better at fighting than the soldiers in the outer camp. In terms of numbers, they were almost the same as the Zuo Zhenwei who attacked the mountain, but they had the advantage of the terrain. The soldiers from the inner camp who poured down like a flood quickly overwhelmed Zuo Zhenwei's troops.
Suppressed and slowly forced back. Li Pu and Li Yi each led their own soldiers to form two arrows and charged back and forth among the troops in the Black Flag Army camp.
However, charging from top to bottom gave them too much advantage, and Zuo Zhenwei's men gradually couldn't resist it. Just when they were about to be suppressed by the brave Black Flag Army camp soldiers in the second attack, they suddenly saw Zuo Zhenwei.
The soldiers suddenly moved aside, and a thousand Zuoyuan Guards cavalry rushed up behind them!
It turns out that the shields carried by the plain swordsmen were all covered with horse traps on the hillside!
PS: It’s still the same old saying, still kowtow and weep for collection. (To be continued)
