Chapter 714: Yuan Shao's heart was upset
Guo Tu shook his head and looked around at the situation.
After a moment, Guo Tu had a puzzled look on his face.
He thought for a while, then put his head in front of Yuan Shao, and said loudly: "Lord, the terrain here is low-lying, the surrounding mountains and forests are sparse, the grass and trees are withering, and it is winter, even if there are forests, the forest must be covered with snow slag, it is impossible to use fire to attack, the soldiers under the command of Li Ru roared loudly, and they thought it was scary, and deliberately frightened our army." ”
Guo Tu's tone was firm and he said very affirmatively.
He stared at the situation ahead and was already convinced that the so-called 'ignition' was impossible.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded heavily, and said: "Gongzhi (Guo Tuzi), what you said is very reasonable, we have considered the surrounding environment when we pursued Li Ru, and the situation here is obviously not suitable for fire attack, they shouted and ignited, but the so-called 'ignition' does not meet the situation, it must be scaresome." ”
Yuan Shao also repeated, as if to cheer himself up.
He glanced at the retreating army on the other side of the river, and then at the advancing army on the ice, and clenched his fists. Although Yuan Shao agreed with Guo Tu's words, a bad premonition rose in his heart. This feeling is very strange, not because I am afraid of Li Ru's army, but because I can't figure out what the real situation is.
He seemed to be in a cage, and the surroundings were hazy, which made Yuan Shao feel bad.
On the battlefield, the roar of 'ignition' was constantly sounded.
Under the hazy night, there were many people on the battlefield, and the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command were walking on the ice, and the wide and long ice was full of Yuan soldiers, and all the soldiers walked forward cautiously.
At this time, no one noticed the upstream and downstream of the river, and dozens of soldiers appeared at the same time.
The place where the soldiers appeared was at the head and end of the river that crossed the battlefield, and because it was remote and difficult to walk, no Yuan soldiers passed by here. After this group of soldiers appeared, they did not attract the attention of the others, and everyone quickly rushed to the ice, quickly took out the fire fold from his arms, and lit the fire fold.
Immediately, all the soldiers at the same time picked up the greased-soaked fuse from the ice and lit it with a fire breaker.
The soldier who lit the fuse was, naturally, the soldier of the Wolf Tooth Battalion. The soldiers lit the greased-soaked fuses, quickly retreated, and then hid in the forest.
"Ugh! Yikes! ”
The lead burns and makes a clattering sound.
In the night, a string of fire snakes is gradually burning, which looks so dazzling.
However, the soldiers' attention on the battlefield was all focused on escaping or concentrating on crossing the river, and no one noticed what was happening at the head and end of the river. Even Yuan Shao, Guo Tu, Xu You and others all paid attention to the direction of Huang Zhong and others, and did not find that the head and tail of the river had already ignited dazzling flames.
The flames are getting closer and closer, and the fuses are gradually burning out.
The soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion, who had already hidden, fell prostrate on the ground, covering their ears with their hands.
"Boom! Rumble! ……”
A series of loud noises exploded from the upper and lower reaches of the river, and bright lights suddenly burst out, very dazzling, attracting everyone's attention. After the boom, the biting ice flew in all directions, and then fell to the ground with a thud, splashing ice slag all over the sky.
The ice was blasted open, and a water more than a foot wide appeared on the ice, and the biting water of the river kept swaying.
The ice that connects the upstream and downstream bursts, and the ice in the center is also affected by the huge explosion.
"Click! Click! ”
The thick layer of ice turned into a crack in a spider's web, and there was a constant clicking sound, and the soldiers standing on the ice also clearly felt the shaking of the ice.
It can make thick ice burst, and it can only be done by blasting it with a fire cup.
These fire pots were arranged a long time ago, digging a deep pit directly in the ice and burying them inside, and then the lead was protected and pulled out with a bamboo tube, as long as the lead was ignited, the clay pot filled with gunpowder could explode.
Maybe one fire pot is not very powerful, but one after another is lined up, and dozens of fire cups suddenly explode together, and its power is enough to make the ice burst. At this time, the ice in the upper and lower reaches of the river exploded, and the ice in the center began to crack, and it could no longer be stable.
The head and tail of the ice were blown apart, and the middle ice was shattered, and the middle ice could not float steadily on the water, and began to shake under the trampling of the soldiers.
Many soldiers of Yuan Shao's army have already walked on the ice, but there are still many soldiers walking on the ice.
When the ice began to shake, the soldiers slipped and fell to the ground, and as the ice shook, the soldiers could not stand up at all, and the soldiers screamed loudly and roared.
"Oops, earthquake, earthquake!"
"The ice is cracked, I can't stand still, oh, my ass!"
"Damn, what's going on. It was fine just now, but all of a sudden... Alas, Lao Tzu's waist flashed, oops, the waist was broken, the waist was broken! ”
……
On the ice, soldiers fell on the ice, staggering.
The ice surface is also wobbly.
When the ice breaks, there are countless soldiers standing on the ice, which adds to the weight of the ice, and the huge weight is pressed on the ice, making the ice make a clattering sound. At this time, the ice layer is like a domino that has been pushed, and it has a series of effects.
In particular, the front and back ends of the ice exploded, and the ice itself began to crack, and after the soldiers stepped on it, the cracks intensified, and after a while, the ice surface cracked.
"Whoa!"
A soldier fell into the icy water, causing the soldier to scream.
The ice was quite thick, and the water was not very deep in the low-lying area, and when a soldier fell from the ice, the water only reached the soldier's chest, and he could not drown anyone.
"Whoa!!"
When one ice layer breaks, the rest of the ice begins to break. One by one, the soldiers fell into the water, soaked in the icy water, and their bodies shivered involuntarily.
In an instant, Yuan Shao's army was in turmoil.
In front of the official road, Huang Zhongzheng led the soldiers to kill, and the ice in the center of the official road broke again, causing the soldiers to be in chaos. There was unrest on both sides at the same time, which made the morale of the soldiers of the Yuan army very low.
Yuan Shao looked at the cracked ice and was in a daze.
At this moment, Yuan Shao's heart was in turmoil.
He quickly came to his senses and looked to the place where the explosion had come from, only to see a group of soldiers standing up and down the river. Seeing this, Yuan Shao immediately understood that it was these people who made the ghost and broke the ice. Yuan Shao looked at the chaotic army, his teeth itched with hatred, and he shouted loudly: "Open your jaw, Gao Ran listen to the order!" ”
Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran quickly stood up, hugged their fists and said, "The last general will listen to the order!" ”
Yuan Shao ordered: "Order the two of you to lead the troops to kill and organize all the soldiers to fight back!" ”
"No!"
The two agreed, but a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
In fact, the two had noticed that something was wrong. If there is no turmoil in front of the official road, but only the ice breaks, this is just a little chaos, although it has an impact, it will not lead to a change in the final outcome, but the front fails, the rear is in turmoil, and such a situation is already difficult to control.
The two looked at each other, both with solemn expressions.
Just as the two were preparing to fight, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rumbled on the battlefield.
The sound of horses' hooves continued, and the sound of war drums and high-pitched trumpets sounded. When Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran heard the sound of horses' hooves, their faces changed drastically, and they looked towards the place where the sound came from.
PS: The fourth watch is completed, and I have taken a break at the end of work.
