Chapter 356: Deng Zheng's Serial Killing
On both sides of the road, trees and weeds crackled and burned.
The fire spread rapidly, and puffs of black smoke rose up, lingering in the air, and it was impossible to breathe.
Fires broke out all around, and the army was surrounded by fire in the blink of an eye.
Weeds and dead branches quickly burned, sparks splashed and fell on the soldier's armor, and the scorching breath burned the armor into a few dents. Although the soldier was wearing armor and armor, his neck was exposed, and some of the sparks that splashed around always fell on the soldier's neck, burning the soldier's teeth and grinning, and he couldn't help but reach out and scratch it. But the more this happens, the more itchy and painful it is in the neck.
The fire is raging, and the temperature around it is getting hotter.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on the soldiers' foreheads, and their mouths felt parched, and they could not bear the heat around them.
Pang Xi saw the fire burning around him, his face was like earth, and his heart also sank, and he shouted: "Retreat, retreat back immediately!" ”
The sound is like a bell, and the deep voice keeps echoing on the official road.
The soldiers heard Pang Xi's voice and immediately retreated to the rear.
Pang Xi took the lead and rushed to the rear. Although he also heard a loud roar from the rear and knew that there were Hanzhong soldiers blocking the way behind him, he had to retreat. There is a fire burning in front, and it is impossible to rush through, and there must be a Hanzhong army in front of it, once it rushes forward, not only will it face the army in front, but there is no way to retreat.
The only way is to rush out of the fire and retreat.
Pang Xi's current idea is to retreat and withdraw from the sea of fire.
The fire continued to expand, and the surrounding temperature was getting warmer. When the war horse ran quickly, they all raised their heads and neighed, and the hair on the war horse's body was already curled, which showed how high the temperature around them was. Pang Xi was worried, rode on his horse and looked at the sea of fire in front of him, gritted his teeth, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and rode his horse to charge.
"Drive!"
He roared, urging his horse to speed up and run.
In an instant, the war horse was approaching the edge of the sea of fire. He grabbed the reins of the horse with both hands, and with a leap of his horse, the war horse under his crotch suddenly jumped up, and at once pierced into the raging fire, trying to cross the sea of fire. However, when the war horse jumped up and crossed the sea of fire with half of its body, there was a sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air in front of them, and one after another pitch-black bows and arrows broke through the air, with a terrible screeching sound, shooting towards Pang Xi and the war horse under his crotch.
The bow and arrow were aimed in the original direction of the war horse, and there was a burst of random fire, out of order.
Countless bows and arrows formed a dense rain of arrows, shooting down wildly, and the top-grade war horses under Pang Xi's crotch were instantly shot into a hole in the flesh. The war horse was shot to death, and Pang Xi was also shot into a sieve by a rain of arrows.
His eyes widened, and there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.
thought that he could be saved by rushing out of the sea of fire, but he didn't expect that after rushing out of the sea of fire, he would be an abyss and hell.
With an unwilling look, Pang Xi's body fell to the ground with a bang, and he couldn't wake up. A few days ago, Pang Xi was still arrogant. Now, he died in an instant.
At this moment, Deng Zheng was still sitting on the chariot, wearing a black cloak.
His eyes were slightly squinted, and his wrinkled old face was disgusting like old bark, but his expression was calm and there was no surprise in the slightest.
It seems that Pang Xi's death has been doomed for a long time.
Deng Zheng watched Pang Xi being set up as a hedgehog, his calm old face suddenly relaxed, and a happy mood rose in his heart. He didn't have the calmness of the previous moment, but looked up and laughed, venting the resentment in his heart. Deng Fang's death was a huge blow to Deng Zheng, not only because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, but also because the heir of the Deng family was shot.
Next to Deng Zheng, Duan Chi and Chen Xi couldn't help but shiver when they saw Deng Zheng's demeanor.
Both of them think that Deng Zheng is old, but now it seems that he is old and vicious, which is terrifying.
Following Pang Xi, Ling Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian also led the soldiers to rush out of the sea of fire. It was precisely because Pang Xi was the first to rush out and be shot that the four knew that there was a trap ahead, so they did not rush to the front first, but hid in the middle of the soldiers on horseback and rushed out with the army to avoid being shot by arrows.
The soldiers who were the first to burst out of the fire were still shot by the rushing bows and arrows.
It is also because there are soldiers who rush to the front as shields and bear a large number of bows and arrows, so that the soldiers behind can rush out of the sea of fire. The soldiers rushed out of the sea of fire in waves, and when they were galloping fast, Ling Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian also rushed out. The four were not harmed because they were hugged by soldiers.
After Ling Bao led the soldiers to rush out, he roared, and rushed forward quickly with the war knife in his hand.
Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian were also, all leading the soldiers who broke out of the encirclement to rush and kill.
When the distance is shortened, the bow and arrow for long-range attacks are useless.
The rest is hand-to-hand combat that fights for your life.
Ling Bao and the others relied on their outstanding martial arts to break out of the encirclement, but they did not put the soldiers blocking the official road in their eyes at all, but thought about killing the army in front of them and taking revenge. Ling Bao swept his eyes and saw Deng Zheng sitting in the chariot, with a look of resentment in his eyes. Pang Xi was the first to rush out of the sea of fire, but he was ambushed by Deng Zheng, so that he was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows. The boss was killed, he was also responsible, as long as Deng Zheng was killed, Ling Bao could also make meritorious service to atone for his crimes.
Thinking of this, Ling Bao waved the war knife in his hand and rushed towards Deng Zheng.
At this moment, the surrounding fire is soaring, and the red fire reflects the surrounding area transparently, and you can clearly see the surrounding scene. Deng Zheng saw Ling Bao rushing over, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Fire!
Bow and arrow!
Combined, these two stratagems are lethal enough. However, Deng Zheng's layout does not stop there. He led 30,000 private soldiers of the Nanzheng clan, of which more than 10,000 private soldiers were abandoned by Deng Zheng, and were used as cannon fodder to be chased and killed by Pang Xi's troops, and a third of the soldiers were killed and wounded in a few days.
"Gunshot, attack!"
Deng Zheng shouted, his voice hoarse, but he was full of energy, not looking old at all.
This is Deng Zheng's third layout, first the sea of fire, then the bow and arrow, and finally the gun array.
One ring after another, a serial kill.
When the soldiers who were waiting intently heard Deng Zheng's order, the soldiers standing at the front with bows and arrows immediately retreated, making way for the pikemen who were walking slowly behind.
Wearing armor and holding black iron spears in their hands, the pikemen were specially selected from the Nanzheng clan. The pikemen slowly walked forward. The soldiers standing in the front row and distributed around all stabbed out their spears and killed the oncoming Yizhou army.
Ling Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian originally wanted to lead the troops to rush towards Deng Zheng, but they were blocked by the sudden pikemen. Not only that, but even the escape route was blocked.
The moment she saw the pikemen, her eyelids kept jumping, and she felt a chill down her back.
How can a pikeman, like a hedgehog, rush over?
After the charge, how many soldiers will survive?
Ling Bud really didn't know what the consequences were, and at other times, Ling Bud felt that the pikemen who appeared in front of him were easy to deal with. Because the pikemen are very slow, the battle formation is not easy to change, and they are stiff and inflexible. However, behind him was a sea of scorching fire, and the scorching heat had curled all the beards under his chin, and now the situation was that he could not retreat, but could only continue to rush forward.
"What should I do?"
"What should I do?"
……
Ling Bud kept asking herself, what should I do?
Looking at the pikemen who were getting closer and closer, Ling Bao felt a little impatient in his heart. Suddenly, he had an idea and shouted: "Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Deng Xian, break through separately, break through separately!" As the words fell, Ling Bao led the soldiers to rush to the edge of the left side of the pikemen, while Yang Huai and Gao Pei chose to charge together and break through to the right edge. Deng Xian gritted his teeth, he didn't follow Yang Huai, and rode his horse in the direction of Ling Bao.
In fact, the army was divided into four directions, which were best suited for fleeing.
Now, the army is divided into two groups, so that the pikemen do not have to be scattered.
Ling Bao and Deng Xian broke through towards the left edge, and Gao Pei and Yang Huai broke through towards the right edge.
Deng Zheng saw that the Yizhou army was divided into two groups, and a sneer appeared on his wrinkled old face.
What if you break out? 4,000 elite soldiers, as many as 1,000 soldiers died in the fire, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed by bows and arrows, and the remaining 2,000 soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted even if they escaped, and now facing hedgehog-like spears, the casualties will be even worse.
Ling Bao and Deng Xian led the charge, and in the blink of an eye, they ran into the pikemen.
"Poof! Burst! ……”
The spear poked into the armor of the soldier, and instantly pierced the armor, forcing into the soldier's skin, and the black iron spear poked out, forming a dense death forest. Most of the soldiers who rushed forward were stabbed with spears outstretched. An intact body, from top to bottom, full of bloody holes that had been poked by spears.
Blood, splattering non-stop.
The roar kept ringing out.
The Yizhou soldiers were crying, struggling hard, struggling to survive; However, the private soldiers of the Nanzheng clan showed a hideous smile, and after being chased for so many days, they finally raised their eyebrows. Watching the corpse of a Gu Yizhou soldier fall under the spear, the soldiers holding the spear were full of pride. At the same time, he clenched his spear and continued to move forward, wanting to kill more Yizhou soldiers.
Ling Bao and Deng Xian joined forces to charge, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they still rushed out of a bloody way. In this bloody road, too many soldiers died, and too many soldiers died under the spear, drinking hatred and dying.
After the two rushed out, they were both relieved.
Ling Bao's hands kept trembling, and there was a look of horror in his eyes. The war horse under his crotch had already been killed, and he had broken out of the encirclement on foot, and by now he was in the current position, and the blades of the war knives in his hands had been chopped and curled.
He doesn't remember how many people he killed, only that he came out alive.
Ling Bud was not injured, but Deng Xian's body was full of injuries, shoulder blades, thighs, chest and abdomen, everywhere there were traces of being cut by the tip of the spear, fortunately, Deng Xian's martial arts were good, and he quickly killed the soldiers who used the spear, so that the spear did not pierce into the body.
Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, a high-pitched scream came from behind them.
The two looked back and saw that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were both stabbed to death with spears.
Unlike Ling Bao and Deng Xian, Yang Huai and Gao Pei received special treatment from the pikemen, who were like tigers in heat, constantly rushing up to stop Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
In one shot, Yang Huai and Gao Pei's war horses were killed.
The two of them fell off their horses and were greeted by a sharp, cold-and-killing spear.
The tip of the spear flickered, and the two were instantly killed by the swarming pikemen.
Ling Bao glanced at Yang Huai and Gao Pei, who were dead and full of blood, and then looked at Deng Zheng, who was sitting on the chariot with a normal expression, with an unwilling look in his eyes, if Pang Xi followed his advice and immediately withdrew his troops after pursuing the Hanzhong army for a while, how could there be such a result.
For the sake of today's plan, I can only try my best to escape, and join up with the 16,000 soldiers who are constantly rushing to preserve our strength. Thinking of this, Ling Bud shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
He spread his feet and fled with his soldiers.
Deng Xian followed behind Ling Bao and hurriedly fled.
Beside Deng Zheng, Chen Xi saw Ling Bao fleeing, and sighed in his heart that the two were not killed by the pikemen, and he hurriedly said: "Deng Lao, two thieves have escaped, hurry up and order the pursuit!" ”
Deng Zheng shook his head and said, "Poor Kou Mo Chase, he has already achieved such a result, it is enough!" ”
After finishing speaking, Deng Zheng squinted his eyes slightly and stopped talking.
In this battle, Pang Xi, the commander of the Yizhou Army, was killed, two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei were killed, the 4,000 elites of the Yizhou Army were lost, and the remaining 16,000 troops did not know it.
After Ling Bao and Deng Xian escaped, they hurried towards the Yizhou army.
Duan Chi and Chen Xi glanced at each other, and their faces showed helplessness.
Deng is an old fox, vicious and cunning, he said that if he doesn't chase it, there must be some truth.
