Chapter 746: Conquering Wuzhai at Night (4)
In the dark night, countless cold arrows were shot out "whoosh", although the Shu army was wearing armor and holding shields, but suddenly many soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there was a certain amount of psychological preparation, when the cold arrow of the Di army attacked, it still created a lot of chaos for the attacking Shu army, and the offensive formation of the Shu army was disrupted.
"But that's it!" Li Rulong sneered and ordered the Di soldiers to increase the intensity of archery and strike a second blow at the Shu army.
Random arrows like a torrential rain towards the Shu army, even if it is armed to the teeth, but it is indeed a very difficult thing to move forward under this dense rain of arrows, and there are constantly casualties in the Shu army, and the Shu army's original turtle speed attack speed is completely stagnant at the moment.
"Archers, fight back!" The lieutenant who commanded the attack ordered loudly that if it advanced against the rain of arrows, no matter how strong the Shu army was, it would not be able to withstand it, and at this time, only through the countermeasures of the archers could it be possible to provide cover for the attacking troops.
The archers of the Shu army immediately counterattacked, but in the dark, they couldn't distinguish the direction of the enemy at all, and could only reflect in the direction of the enemy's arrows, but after these arrows were shot, they were like mud cows entering the sea, and they didn't know if they hit the target.
Di people in the dark, Shu army in the light, such a situation is obviously beneficial to the Di people, the Di people can clearly see the Shu army, do it targeted, and the Shu army can't see the Di army, just random scattering, the results of the two sides are naturally self-evident.
Li Rulong laughed and ordered the soldiers to put down the rolling logs. The thick rolling wood roared down the hillside, attacking the Shu army with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops.
In mountain warfare, the Rolling Log is a more powerful weapon than the bow and arrow, and the Rolling Log can ignore the opponent's defenses and kill the enemy in rows and pieces, as long as the Rolling Log is within range, the enemy is almost impossible to dodge.
Several rolling logs roared down, and the Shu army could only retreat in embarrassment, ending this wave of tentative offensives.
The defeat of the first attack did not surprise Wang Qi, the offensive and defensive battle at night was the most difficult to fight, the Di people who were familiar with the geography and occupied the geographical advantage completely hid in the dark, and the Shu army that had to rely on torches was in the light, this light and darkness, the advantages and disadvantages were judged, and it was too difficult and too difficult to break through Niushou Mountain.
A lieutenant beside him offered advice to Wang Ji: "Wang Dudu, the enemy is dark and I am clear, this battle is not easy to fight, it is better to use rockets to shoot at the enemy village and set the enemy village on fire, so that the Di people hiding in the dark can appear." ”
When Wang Ji heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the Shu army to prepare rockets and shoot them in the direction of Niushou Village.
One rocket after another drew streamers in the air and shot towards Niushouzhai.
It is spring, although the young grass has sprouted, the branches have turned green, but the mountains are still full of countless dead branches and leaves, spring is a dry season, a spark may ignite these dry branches and leaves. Countless rockets landed in the mountains, and soon caused a raging fire, and even the wooden fence of Niushou Village was also led.
Li Rulong was shocked and hurriedly ordered to put out the fire.
That is, because the fire was too scattered, it did not cause a catastrophe to the cottage of the Di people, but the fire all over the mountains still revealed the hidden true face of the Di people, which provided an opportunity for the Shu army to attack.
Wang Qi immediately seized the opportunity and attacked in a big way, and the firelight all over the mountains pointed out the direction to the Shu army, and now the Shu army is attacking, and even the Yan Commander does not have to fight, and the enemy on the opposite side, under the illumination of the firelight, has become clearly visible.
At this moment, the offensive and defensive sides returned to an equal position, but the Di people defended according to the geographical advantage, and the Shu army, which had the advantage of numbers, was in a weak position in terms of geographical advantages, and the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.
At the same time as launching an offensive on Niushou Mountain, several other groups of people and horses of the Shu army also launched non-stop attacks on the horseshoe village, alpaca village, chicken song village and wolf tu village that the Di people were distracting.
The second to enter the attack position was Lu Xun, who led the Suzaku left battalion, and the cottage he attacked was the horseshoe village, and like Wang Qi, Lu Xun was also very cautious in the first attack, and only sent a small part of the Shu soldiers as a tentative attack.
Being so cautious, and also having a great connection with Lu Xun's previous guerrilla captain, and maneuvering around the enemy, Lu Xun would not have survived without extraordinary means and courage.
However, without exception, Lusson's tentative attack failed, and Luson took the initiative to set fire to the mountain, plunging the entire Horseshoe Mountain into a sea of fire.
The Di people were busy fighting the fire, and the Shu army took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, and the Shu army quickly cleared the Di people on the periphery and occupied the outer positions of the horseshoe.
The initial victory did not make Lu Xun complacent, and he immediately increased his letter, and fought with Wan Chaofeng, the defender of the Di army guarding the horseshoe village, and the battle was inextricable.
Immediately after the attack on the alpaca village was Fu Zhao of the White Tiger Army, seeing the flames of Niushou Village and Horseshoe Village, Fu Zhao made a move, and also adopted the method of fire attack, first exposing the enemy hidden in the shadows, he didn't even take tentative steps.
Not to be outdone, Zhou Xu led the Qilin Left Battalion to launch an attack on Jiming Village, although these three people and horses have some gaps between each other, but the difference is not too far, almost the battle has just started there, this side has already entered the position of attack, and the fire that rushed to the sky almost reflected most of the sky red.
When Luo attacked the Yong'an Left Battalion to attack the Wolf Turf Village, it was half a beat slower than the Shu army that attacked Niushou Village, Horseshoe Village, Alpaca Village and Jiming Village, and the troops of the Yongan Left Battalion were all infantry, and they were slower than the other teams that were all cavalry in action, and of course it would not be much slower, after all, in such a night attack, the speed of the cavalry could not be much faster than the infantry, and the cavalry had to dismount to be used as infantry in the end.
Secondly, another aspect is that the five cottages are arranged in order, and the road to the wolf village is farther than to the cow head han, horseshoe village, alpaca village and chicken song village.
It was already a fire over there, presumably a fierce battle was raging, Luo Xian was secretly anxious in his heart, these five-way attack army must attack at the same time, so that it was possible to clamp down on the counterattack of the Di people, and the four villages had already started, only their own way, Luo Xian ordered to speed up the march.
