Chapter 52 Fire Attack
Rumble...
On the plain east of Wangwu Peak, the 20,000 vanguard troops of the Fujijia Army rushed towards the garrison of the Wangwu Peak Fire Army under the personal leadership of Fan Ritu.
Although the 20,000 vanguard troops were light cavalry, their rushing momentum was no less than that of heavy cavalry. The 20,000 iron cavalry galloped, and the earth was trembling.
"Miscellaneous Fire Army, I want you to taste the power of the Vine Armor Army. Don't think that I am attacking us at night, but I think that my Vine Armor Army is made of mud!" Fan Ritu, who was leading the way, looked like a pig's liver, his eyes were red, and he wished he could immediately rush into the camp of the Fire Army and kill him alone.
The cavalry was very fast. In just one incense stick, the vanguard cavalry of Fan Ritu was only less than ten kilometers away from the garrison of the Wangwufeng Fire Army.
From the Fiery Army camp, you can see the dust raised by the galloping horses of the vine armored troops in the sky from afar.
"The greatest advantage of the cavalry lies in their strong impact force. As long as their charge advantage is disintegrated, they can block their charge. Gaoshan. As long as the Fuji Armor Army enters the ambush circle, they will immediately set rockets. Then all infantry rely on the array of combat vehicles to block the remaining charge attack of the Fuji Armor cavalry!" Nangong Yu calmly ordered Gaoshan.
"Don't worry, Chief of the Army, I promise to give the Fujijia Army a meeting gift that they will never forget for life!" Gao Shan showed an evil smile on his lips, and then said to the flag bearer beside him: "As long as the Fujijia Army enters the ambush circle, immediately raise the flag and order the rockets to the crossbowman!"
"Yes!" The flag bearer nodded firmly and immediately climbed up the watchtower seven or eight feet high.
"Luo Wei, please prepare all the cavalry. When the vanguard army of the Vine Armor Army is defeated, you will lead the cavalry to chase me. Remember, don't fight too much when chasing, and retreat after chasing ten kilometers. Do you understand?" Nangong Yu told Luo Wei a few more words. It's not that Nangong Yu didn't want to lead the cavalry to chase him. Nangong Yu is most certain that Fan Ritu must have led the vanguard army of the Vine Armor Army.
If he could take down Fan Ritu or the military flag of the Tengjia Army, it would be easier to keep the Tengjia Army in Wangwu Peak. Unfortunately, he is now the command hub of the Fire Army and can only stay in the command position.
"Please rest assured, commander, I will never pursue one more step!" Luo Wei nodded heavily.
Let’s talk about Fan Ritu. When Fan Ritu led the cavalry to charge two or three kilometers away from the Fire Army camp, the Fire Army did not make any defensive formation. This made Fan Ritu a little puzzled. The distance between two or three kilometers is the most suitable for the cavalry to exert its greatest impact advantage. What medicine is sold in Nangong Yu?
However, since they have already reached the camp of the Fire Army, how could Fan Ritu stop? No matter what tricks Nangong Yu is playing, today is the day of his Fire Army's destruction.
The 20,000 vanguard cavalry of the vine armor did not slow down at all, and still rushed towards the fire army camp like a sharp knife.
Suddenly, Fan Ritu smelled a strong smell of tinder oil on his nose. Fan Ritu looked down and was shocked. He saw countless small pits dug up on the ground, and the pits were filled with tinder oil. Fan Ritu hurriedly wanted to order the horse to retreat, but it was too late.
I saw hundreds of guns in the camp of the Fire Army, with a spear poured with tinder and burning cloth strips, shot towards the vine armor army under the powerful elastic force of the bed crossbow machine.
puff, puff, puff
Some unlucky soldiers of the vine armored army and their horses were skewed into candied haws by the powerful inertia of the spear. However, what was even more unlucky was that the flames at the tip of the gun ignited the tinder on the ground. With a bang, the entire battlefield suddenly turned into a sea of fire. The vine armored army and horses were burned to howl, rolling all over the ground, and in chaos.
"Haha, the commander is such a clever plan. The wind blows from the east. The smell of tinder oil can only be smelled after getting close. The vine armor army came against the wind, so it is difficult to smell the smell of tinder oil. Moreover, their speed is so fast that when they smell the smell, it is too late to retreat. Fortunately, we used weeds on the hole, otherwise we would be able to see it by the Xiqi scouts, and the vine armor army would not be fooled!"
"Yes, but unfortunately, Xiqi's scouts were so aggressive that we didn't dare to expand the area of turmeric oil, otherwise this fire would definitely burn these 20,000 vine armored troops to ashes!"
"But it is impossible to burn all the vanguards of the Fuji Armor Army to death. This fire looks very good to burn half of the troops, at least it has greatly damaged the cavalry's charge advantage!"
...
Looking at the tragic situation of the vanguard army of the Fuji Armor Army being burned to the point of being in a mess, Gao Shan and others were all smiling.
However, they were happy, but they did not underestimate the enemy. After taking advantage of the fire to reduce the charge advantage of the cavalry of the Fuji Armor Army, the infantry of the Fire Army immediately relied on the chariot to form a circular defensive battle formation.
The outer periphery of the battle formation is a chariot, and the front direction of the chariot is covered with sharp cold thorns and short spears. As long as the cavalry approaches, they will definitely become hedgehogs.
The gap between the chariots is filled with spearmen and shield hands. As long as the cavalry approaches, the spearmen will find an opportunity to poke out with the spears, and the shield hands protect the spearmen from the attacks of the cavalry.
Behind the chariot are the swordsman and the long hook. Once the cavalry breaks through the chariot's defense and charges in, the swordsman is mainly responsible for cutting the horse's legs. The long hooksman takes the opportunity to pull the cavalry off the war horse, and then the swordsman and the swordsman will finish the knife.
And behind the swordsman and long hooks, that is, the center of this circular defensive formation, is the cavalry archers, responsible for shooting and killing all the enemies that can be seen.
"Damn, the cunning and despicable Fire Army, I must tear you all out of pieces!" Looking at the tragic scene of the burned man tilting his horse, Fan Ritu grabbed the burned hair on his head, and was furious.
"Avoid the fire and reorganize the charge formation!" Under Fan Ritu's order, the remaining cavalry of the Fuji Armor Army who survived and did not get affected by the fire immediately gathered together again.
The Fuji Armor Army has never suffered such a great loss since it went to the battlefield. Looking at the companions who were burned into fire and still wailing, the remaining cavalrymen all showed a look of horror and their morale was greatly hit. Although they are the ever-winning army on the battlefield, this does not mean that they are not afraid.
Fan Ritu glanced at the remaining troops, only half of them. In a fire, the Fuji Armor Army lost another 10,000 elite troops. In addition, the 10,000 people lost last night's night attack, this combat power can only be regarded as a second- and third-rate fire army, which actually lost 20,000 elite troops, reaching one-third of the entire Fuji Armor Army. Fan Ritu resisted the urge to get crazy and shouted at the remaining soldiers: "We are the invincible Fuji Armor Army. We will not be defeated by any enemy. Warriors, please raise the sword in your hands and join me to comfort our dead companions!"
"General Fan, look at the fire army has already set up a circular defensive formation. Our army is not very morale now. If we charge at this time, we may not be able to break the formation. We should wait for our subsequent heavy cavalry to arrive and let the heavy cavalry break the formation." A strategist said to Fan Ritu.
"Yes, General Fan, the Fire Army has not yet reached 20,000 people. We will first transfer the subsequent Fuji Armor Army, surrounded them first, and then use heavy cavalry to rush to kill. On the one hand, we can reduce our casualties, and on the other hand, we can wipe out the Fire Army!" Another adviser also quickly advised that their cavalry is the light cavalry of the Fuji Armor Army after all, and the Qiji Armor Army is not well protected, and it will fight against the circular defensive formation of the Fire Army. Although they are sure to break through the circular defensive formation of the Fire Army, they will pay a great price once. The Fuji Armor Army has lost 20,000 troops and cannot increase more casualties.
After hearing the words of the two strategists, Fan Ritu wanted to hit him immediately, but seeing the bodies of the vine armored cavalry that had been burned to charcoal in the fire, Fan Ritu held back.
The Fire Army was able to severely damage the Fuji Armor Army twice, and they used their pride to underestimate the enemy. They thought the Fire Army was just an inconspicuous second- and third-rate army and had never taken it seriously. It was just Nangong Yu who took advantage of this and stabbed the Fuji Armor Army twice.
"Okay, then we'll wait for the first half of the day, and let the heavy cavalry of the Fuji Armor Army arrive before attacking the Fire Army!" Fan Ritu said dejectedly.
Chapter completed!
