Rockets shot into the camp one after another, setting fire to the tents, the fences, rafters and other defenses of the camp. Burning bows and arrows wrapped in oilcloth were shot at the Wu soldiers. They immediately ignited and were not easy to extinguish, allowing people to enter the camp.
The soldiers of the Wu army were in chaos and suffered a lot.
Thick smoke filled the air, making it difficult for Wu Bing to breathe.
For a time, the camp was crowded with people, and everyone looked panicked, fearing they would fall behind and be burned to death.
Sun Ce's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Get out, get out!"
After giving the order, the Wu soldiers in the camp were in chaos. Sun Ce and Zu Mao had no time to restore order, so they could only rush out with the Wu soldiers around them and escape as soon as possible.
Ten thousand Wu soldiers pushed each other and tried their best to escape.
Not counting the soldiers who were injured and killed by rockets, the number of Wu soldiers who fell to the ground simply because of being pushed, and who were finally trampled to death were over a thousand, or even more.
Such a chaotic situation made Sun Ce's eyes wide open.
Hate! Hate!
He was extremely sad, but he was helpless.
Last time, Sun Ce attacked the Shu camp at night and was ambushed as he expected, but this time it was too unexpected. He thought that Wang Can led his troops north and the Shu camp would be empty, but he didn't expect that Wang Can had another plan.
Everything made Sun Ce heartbroken.
Everything he did seemed to be calculated.
Is he destined to fail?
Fifteen feet away from the camp, Zhang Xiu watched Sun Ce leading the soldiers to run out of the camp, pointing the tiger-headed golden gun forward, and shouted with all his strength: "Sun Ce, the military advisor has long expected that you will attack the camp, and has prepared it for you.
Great gift, accept death." As soon as the words fell, five ballistas were pushed out and aimed at the camp gate in a row.
"shoot!"
Zhang Xiu gave the order, and the crossbow arrows on the angry car were fired immediately.
A crossbow cart can shoot five special crossbow arrows at the same time. Five crossbow carts shoot at the same time, and can shoot twenty-five special crossbow arrows at one time. Although the number of five crossbow carts shot in one round is not much, the number of shots fired by the crossbow carts in one round is not much.
They were lined up and aimed at the camp gate, enough to radiate all the Wu soldiers who ran out of the camp.
Then there are rockets and bows to suppress it, which is enough to seal the gate of the camp.
Twenty-five crossbow arrows were shot out, whizzing towards Sun Ce, Zu Mao, and all the Wu soldiers who had just rushed out of the camp gate.
"puff!"
One of the crossbow arrows hit the horse under Sun Ce's crotch. The sharp arrow tore the horse's skin, pierced under the horse's neck, and quickly shot out from behind the horse's butt.
The crossbow arrows were shot out, blood splattered.
After shooting the war horse to death, the crossbow arrow continued to advance and hit two more Wu soldiers. Sun Ce's war horse was shot through by the crossbow arrow and fell down while maintaining a running posture, but the internal organs of the war horse had been damaged by the crossbow arrow.
He fell to the ground with a sound. Blood continued to flow from the body and mouth of the war horse. It neighed several times and died soon after.
Compared to Sun Ce, Zu Mao's situation is slightly better.
The war horse under his crotch was not hit by the crossbow arrow, but a crossbow arrow grazed his right leg. The sharp and tough arrow tip scratched the skin on his thigh, leaving a clearly visible wound.
The rest of the crossbow arrows all hit Wu Bing, and after the crossbow arrows hit Wu Bing, they passed directly through Wu Bing's body, leaving a bloody hole in Wu Bing's body. After shooting five soldiers in a row, the crossbow arrows
Only then did the power he carried weakened. It was only a round of crossbow arrows that frightened the Wu soldiers.
Each and every one of the Wu soldiers had earth-colored faces, and they retreated involuntarily like frightened birds.
Horrible! So terrible!
Such power is simply unmatched.
While the crossbows were firing, rockets and ordinary bows and arrows were still going on, but a raging fire was already burning in the camp. The situation was already extremely dangerous for Sun Ce.
Zhang Xiu saw Sun Ce and Zu Mao blocked at the entrance of the camp, with a cheerful smile on his face. The Wu soldiers wanted to destroy the Shu army's camp, but they didn't know that they were falling into a trap.
Zu Mao didn't dare to ride his horse anymore. After a round of crossbow arrows, he turned over and dismounted.
Because the target on horseback is too big and the moving position is too narrow, it is easy to be shot into a sieve. He stood on the ground and ran. Even if there was a crossbow arrow coming from the opposite side, he could lie on the ground to avoid it. Zu Mao took three or two steps in front of Sun Ce,
He said loudly: "My lord, the weapons of the Shu army are too powerful, what should we do?"
"Uncle, be careful!"
While Zu Mao was speaking, the second round of attack from the ballista came again.
Without any hesitation, Sun Ce threw Zu Mao to the ground, avoiding the second round of crossbow arrows from the crossbow cart. Twenty-five crossbow arrows were shot out, killing more than a hundred Wu soldiers. Compared to the ten thousand that Sun Ce brought
The name Wu Bing, with more than a hundred people, is almost not worth mentioning, but the ballistae scared the Wu soldiers out of their courage.
None of the soldiers dared to rush forward for fear of being shot to death.
Retreat!
They continued to retreat into the camp, which was already on fire. Some soldiers even ran to the left and right outside the camp, but were shot dead mercilessly by archers.
Sun Ce said loudly: "Uncle, let's leave the rear camp to break out!"
Sun Ce and Zu Mao stood up, and when the ballistas were not attacking, they quickly retreated into the soldiers. Sun Ce thought about breaking out from both sides of the camp, but the gates of the camp were full of Shu troops. After leaving,
He was definitely trapped in a tight siege and would have no chance of escaping, so Sun Ce took the risk to break out from the rear of the camp.
"ah……"
When Zu Mao followed Sun Ce towards the back camp, he screamed.
A rocket hit Zu Mao's shoulder, and the greasy fire oil flowed, causing Zu Mao's left shoulder to burn. The pain made Zu Mao grimace. Sun Ce felt great grief, and endured the grief to pull out the bow and arrow from Zu Mao's shoulder.
, and helped put out the flames. By the end, Zu Mao's left shoulder had peeled off a layer of skin and was bloody and bloody.
Countless Wu soldiers braved the raging fire and quickly ran to the rear camp.
Seeing Sun Ce decisively retreating to the rear camp, Zhang Xiu immediately turned around on his horse, came to Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and asked respectfully: "Commander Guo, Commander Xu, Sun Ce retreated into the rear camp despite the fire, what should we do?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiu admired and awed the two of them.
Sun Ce was superb in martial arts, but he was teased by Xu Shu and Guo Jia, which made Zhang Xiu feel numb.
Guo Jia glanced at the camp that became a sea of fire and said: "General Zhang, you only need to lead the soldiers to block the front camp. General Zhang Ren is guarding the back camp, so don't worry."
"promise!"
Zhang Xiu nodded in agreement and led his troops to guard the front camp.
…
While the Shu army's camp was ablaze with flames, the camps of the Wu and Wei armies were quiet.
After Cao Cao and Sun Jian joined forces, they were already in a camp. There were only two small camps in this big camp, which were the camps of Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Cao Cao led the troops to go out, leaving Man Chong and Sima Lang behind to guard the camp. Sun Jian
Zhuge Jin and Lu Su were left to guard the camp, while Cao Cao and Sun Jian both left some people behind.
A hundred feet away from the camp, on the wide official road.
A group of soldiers gathered here, all wearing the clothes of the Shu army. The leaders of this group were Lu Meng and Zhang Hu, and there were dozens of soldiers from the Langya Battalion.
At the same time, three thousand elite soldiers stopped behind Lu Meng.
Lu Meng asked: "Huzi, how much gunpowder is left?"
Zhang Hu counted on his fingers for a long time and said: "I used more than half of it to kill Liu Bei, and now I only have more than thirty bags of gunpowder." He stared at Lu Meng and continued: "Boss, there is not much gunpowder left. You
You have to use it sparingly."
Lu Meng scratched his head, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
In the past, it was all used lavishly, but now the gunpowder is limited and must be carefully considered. Lu Meng thought about it carefully and said: "It is better to have gunpowder than nothing. Moreover, since Cao Cao and Sun Jian were transferred away by the lord, we will definitely be able to get it."
Zhang Hu looked back and said, "Boss, our camp is on fire. Sure enough, someone attacked us."
Lu Meng sneered and said: "Commander Xu and Uncle Guo planned it. The Wei and Wu coalition forces are all clowns and there is nothing to worry about. Cao Cao and Sun Jian sent troops to steal the camp, but they will definitely come back in vain. Only by attacking can we successfully steal the camp."
Lu Meng looked proud and confident.
Zhang Hu and the surrounding Langya Camp soldiers laughed after hearing this.
