Chapter 679 Breaking the Great Wall of Ningta!(1/2)
This arrow is called a rocket. The tube is hollow and irritated oil is injected into it. The tube itself is also made of vulnerable materials. Once the rocket is hit, the tube will be damaged and the irritated oil inside will flow out. The tube will touch the air and cause combustion, thereby achieving the purpose of fire attack.
The Rocket is a new feather arrow developed by the Ordnance Department in the 23rd year of the Holy Qin Dynasty. It is specially developed for siege. Unfortunately, the cost of rocket manufacturing is too high, and one is about ten cents. The process of manufacturing rockets is very cumbersome and the output is very low, so it is impossible to equip the entire army on a large scale.
This time, Ying Chang brought only 300,000 rockets, and each crossbowman could use ten on average. Although the number was small, it was enough!
After the crossbowmen took out the rocket from the quiver, they inserted the rocket into the crossbow trough, then took out a rocket from the quiver, and then inserted the rocket into the crossbow trough. In a row, five rockets were inserted into the crossbow trough, and the crossbow trough was full.
After filling the crossbow trough with rockets, 30,000 crossbow soldiers raised the crossbow mouth towards the Great Wall!
War! It's about to break out!
Xiao Xiong pulled out his sword from his waist, pointed to the Great Wall with murderous sword and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!!"
With order, 30,000 crossbowmen quickly pulled the crossbow machine!
"Swoosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!"
"Swoosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!"
A series of sounds of breaking through the air sounded, and rockets left the strings, forming a large cloud of arrows in the sky, blocking the light, causing the Zhao army on the Great Wall to fall into the shadow. Then 30,000 rockets drew a perfect arc together, falling within the Great Wall like a storm!
Thousands of arrows are fired at once!
Great Wall!
Seeing the large-scale rain of arrows hit, Liu Zhendong immediately roared: "Yu!!"
After the words came, Yan soldiers and soldiers stood together in pairs, using shields to block the left, front, back and forth and above. For a moment, every soldier of the Yan army was in the shield protection range.
"Clam!"
"Clam!"
Flashes of metal impact sounded, and a large number of rockets hit the city wall or inserted into the shield, and the Yan army was unscathed!
The Yan army successfully resisted the sharp rain of arrows from the Qin army!
When Liu Zhendong saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile. In order to resist the Qin army's crossbow formation, he temporarily trained 100,000 spear soldiers into sword and shield soldiers. The reason for training sword and shield soldiers was that he wanted the sword and shield soldiers to use shields to resist the Qin army's crossbow formation.
The result has come out, and it is worth the waste of previous efforts and hard work!
"Brothers, the most powerful thing about the Qin army is the crossbow formation and arrow rain just now. The most powerful tactics of the Qin army have been cracked by our army. After a wave of crossbow formation and arrow rain, no one of our Yan army was killed or injured. In this battle, Da Yan will win!" Liu Zhendong raised his arms and shouted, taking the opportunity to boost morale!
"I will win! I will win!"
The soldiers of the Yan army shouted happily and felt that the Qin army was just like this. When they thought of this, the Yan army's fear of the Qin army plummeted.
"What's this?"
"No, it's a fire!"
"ah!"
But before the Yan army could finish their happiness, a fire ignited wherever the rockets shot. Even the shields in the Yan army were burning. The sudden fire scared them so much that they quickly threw away their shields. Looking at the fires around, the Yan army's happiness instantly disappeared, with only deep fear!
"What's going on!" Liu Zhendong was also confused, why did he get hot every time?
After Liu Zhendong's careful observation, he finally knew the reason. It turned out that there was something wrong with the Qin army's feather arrows. The feather arrows were filled with tinctures and the tinctures overflowed, and the fire was ignited. Seeing this, Liu Zhendong's face looked gloomy, and it was so gloomy that water could drip out.
"Swoosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!"
"Swoosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!"
Another sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the sky was covered with dense feather arrows!
The crossbow formation and arrow rain is coming again!
"Pick up the shield!"
"Quick!"
Liu Zhendong roared heart-wrenchingly and waved the soldiers to pick up the thrown shield soldiers. The soldiers also wanted to pick up the shield, but when they saw that the shield was eroded by the fire, they didn't dare to reach out to get it, for fear that they would really cause fire to burn themselves!
"puff!"
"Uh!"
"Help!"
"The Qin army has the help of the God of Fire, help me!"
"Puchi!"
Without shields to defend the crossbow formation, sharp rockets broke through the chain mail of Yan soldiers and shot into the flesh and blood. Then the arrow tube broke and the tincture oil overflowed, causing each Yan soldiers to be caught in a fire!
For a moment, wailing everywhere on the Great Wall, corpses with horror fell down. The morale that the Yan army had finally condensed was instantly defeated by rockets. Because most soldiers did not know how the fire came about, they mistakenly believed that the Qin army had the help of the God of Fire.
Under multiple blows, the morale of the Yan army collapsed, and countless Yan army fled in a hurry, not daring to stay on the Great Wall!
"Don't go over!"
"ah!"
"Help, help, save me!"
When the Great Wall was in a tragic state, something happened in the Great Wall that made Liu Zhendong completely furious. A large number of deserters were inexplicably trapped in the land. If you observe carefully, you will find that this is a swamp!
How come there are swamps in the Great Wall?
It turned out that this was a trap specially laid for Bai Qi by Liu Zhendong. Bai Qi was invulnerable to swords and guns, and water and fire were incompatible. If he wanted to kill him, he could only be wise. Therefore, Liu Zhendong ordered people to dig a big hole in the Great Wall, and then ordered people to find the swamp, dig out the silt in the swamp, fill it in the big hole, and finally lay a layer of weeds!
This artificial swamp is three zhang deep, ten zhang wide, and twenty zhang long. Once you step in, you will be swallowed up by the swamp soon. The stronger the strength and the heavier the weight, the more difficult it is for people to escape. Liu Zhendong believes that as long as Bai Qi falls into the trap, even the gods cannot save it!
As for how to ensure that Bai Qi falls into the trap, he naturally uses himself as bait. Bai Qi likes to kill the generals in front of the formation the most. When the war begins, Bai Qi will definitely rush towards him. At that time, as long as he stands opposite the trap, he can let Bai Qi step in by himself.
But now, this trap left for Bai Qi has been stepped on by his own people!
In fact, the Yan army knew about this trap, but in a hurry, the deserter ignored it.
"Shoot the arrow!!"
"Swoosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!"
"Continue to let go!"
"Swoosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!"
The Qin army crossbow soldiers fully utilized the characteristics of the crossbow and shot continuous and stormy rain of arrows. After five rounds of arrow rain, the Great Wall was filled with fire, as if the Great Wall was spontaneously ignited. The Yan army above the Great Wall was also dead and fled.
"It's over, everything is over!"
Liu Zhendong looked at the tragic image in front of him, and the only hope in his heart was completely shattered.
"Liu Zhendong!"
A cold cry came, and Liu Zhendong subconsciously looked up and saw Bai Qi appearing in front of him at some point. Seeing Bai Qi who was more than nine feet tall, who seemed to be human and strange, Liu Zhendong felt a bit cold and harsh chill inexplicably!
"In the blink of an eye, it appears that everything I do is merely working hard. Bai Qi, I, Liu Zhendong, convinced me, kill me, die at the hands of the famous King Wu of Qin, and have no regrets in this life!" Liu Zhendong looked sad and said softly in a weak tone.
Seeing Bai Qi showing speed comparable to a god, Liu Zhendong realized how much it could trap Bai Qi in a mere swamp!
"The Emperor of Qin likes you very much, so I won't kill you!" Bai Qi stared at Liu Zhendong with a cold expression and said.
"Who can I, Liu Zhendong, bear the love of His Majesty the Emperor of Qin? King Wu of Qin, please give you a message to Liu Zhendong. I, Liu Zhendong, said that I will not serve the second master in this life. If possible, I will serve the Qin in the next life!" Liu Zhendong smiled miserably, then pulled out the sword from his waist, and wiped it at his neck without hesitation!
"puff!"
Blood sputtered out like a fountain and sprinkled on Bai Qi's body. Then Liu Zhendong fell into a pool of blood with no strength, his eyes closed forever!
Liu Zhendong, the Great Yan Dynasty, Huaibei Hou! Death in the battle!
[Historical records of later generations: At noon on March 14, 24th year of the 24th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Ningta Battle broke out, and less than a stick of incense, the Qin army's crossbow formation and arrow rain broke through 250,000 Yan troops. The Yan army was defeated, and the commander general Liu Zhendong, died in Huaibei Hou, and the soldiers! The Holy Qin Emperor sighed for it!]
Bai Qi looked at the corpse in the pool of blood, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. In fact, with his strength, he could completely stop Liu Zhendong from committing suicide, but he did not stop him. In Bai Qi's opinion, committing suicide was Liu Zhendong's last dignity.
What Liu Zhendong should receive this dignity!
Bai Qi turned around and faced the Qin army thousands of steps away, shouting loudly with a cold face: "The enemy general is dead, the enemy army is defeated!"
Qin Army!
When Ying Chang heard the voice from Bai Qi, he was happy and felt a pity. It was a pity that Liu Zhendong was a veteran, but Ying Chang didn’t have a pity for too long. After all, this is not a place that makes people regret, this is a battlefield!
"Tell me my will and the whole army will attack!" Ying Chang waved his hand!
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
"Woo! Woo!"
The dull sound of war drums and loud horns resounded throughout the army!
"kill!!"
"Run!"
"Boom!"
The sound of killing shouts and the roar of horse hooves continued to sound, and the 350,000 Iron Cavalry of Qin rushed towards the Great Wall like storm, like a black torrent sweeping away!
The war was at this point, and there was no suspense of victory or defeat. In less than two incense sticks, the Qin army not only broke the Great Wall, but also flattened the Ningta Great Wall camp. Taking advantage of the strong morale, Ying Chang ordered Aruk Ge to lead 150,000 grassland legions to pursue, while the rest of the troops stayed on the spot to clean the battlefield and set up camps to prepare for the next war!
"Stop, don't run!"
"Run and shoot arrows!"
