1131 Fanning the flames
Wang Baoyu sneered, how could this ordinary rocket stop the unicorn beast, it was simply beyond his strength.
I saw the unicorn beasts shaking their heads and tails, stepping on the fire, and the smooth body surface slipped down quickly even if the rocket was fired on it, and it could not be ignited at all.
Wang Baoyu was even more proud, and planned to let the invincible unicorn beast give Sima Yi another dismount, and it was best to let him retreat. There was a trace of panic on Sima Yi's face, and the war horse under his crotch kept moving backwards, his eyes were full of horror.
Sima Yi had just raised his arm and was about to give the order to retreat, but Hu Zhao stopped: "Wait, wait for me to break Wang Baoyu's formation!" ”
Just as the unicorn beast was about to rush to Wei Bing and prepare to kill, Hu Zhao suddenly took out a talisman from his arms and quickly lit it, with a solemn expression and a word.
Almost instantly, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the flat ground, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun, making it impossible to open people's eyes at all. Strangely, the wind did not blow out the rockets, but the fire burned more violently by the wind.
The rockets on the ground quickly spread into a patch, as if even the dirt could ignite, and soon a huge sea of fire was formed, and the momentum was extremely amazing.
The unicorn that continued to move forward was trapped in the sea of fire, and its whole body became hot, and finally, with a burst of crackling sounds like a beast's roar, the unicorn beast all burned.
The flames burned the internal organs of the unicorn beast, and all the guides lost control, and began to run around in the sea of fire without any purpose, and even attacked each other, and finally became motionless and turned into a fire beast.
And this qiē, only a few minutes of time passed, Wang Baoyu was shocked into a cold sweat, Mo Qianxun found that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Baoyu, quickly collect the troops and return to the city." ”
"That's right! Sound the gong and call it away! Wang Baoyu reacted and hurriedly ordered.
Wang Baoyu's army immediately retreated towards the city and retreated, because of the blockage of the fire, Sima Yi's army did not catch up, but it was a pity that those carefully crafted unicorn beasts had been turned into ashes in the sea of fire, and a thick layer was spread on the ground.
Wang Baoyu's distressed liver trembled and scolded Sima Yi and this Hu Zhao many times. These unicorn beasts have taken a lot of hard work from my sister Huang Yueying, and they didn't come in handy, they were burned to the ground so lightly, it can be seen that this Hu Zhao's ability should not be underestimated.
After burning the unicorn beast and the sky was completely dark, Sima Yi did not continue to attack the city, but withdrew the army and set up camp ten miles outside Xiangyang City.
In the face of such a formidable enemy, Wang Baoyu certainly did not think about the problem of robbing the camp, and ordered the city to be strictly guarded, and wait and see what happened for the time being.
Mo Qianxun, Fan Jinqiang and others, who have always been conceited, all had worried looks on their faces, and everyone gathered together, staring at each other, not knowing what to say, how to deal with this kind of enemy who is proficient in spells, everyone has no idea at all.
Because in the face of supernatural powers, human wisdom is much thinner. It was Mo Qianxun who took the lead in breaking the silence: "I never expected that there would be such a master around Sima Yi, but I underestimated him." ”
"This Hu Zhao is really capable, and he has a bad heart and is vicious. It's a pity that Zuo Ci didn't want to help, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so afraid of him. Wang Baoyu said regretfully.
"Hu Zhao's wind and fire technique is invincible, and I'm worried that he will use this method to attack the city." Mo Qianxun said worriedly.
"We thought of a piece, if the Wei soldiers fired rockets at the city wall, and he came up with this method, the soldiers defending the city would not be able to stop it at all." Wang Baoyu nodded.
"It's better to go out of the city and fight with them!" Ma Yunlu was not angry.
"No, if you are surrounded by this fire, it will be difficult to get out." Mo Qianxun waved his hand.
"So, what should I do?" Ma Yunlu asked stunned.
"There is no good way for the time being, so we can only prepare more water on the city wall, and if something goes wrong, use water to extinguish the fire, and resist it for a while." Wang Baoyu said.
Everyone agreed, but they were all worried that this kind of fire could even burn the unicorn, and they didn't know if ordinary water could extinguish it.
Without further ado, Fan Jinqiang and Tian Ye immediately went to arrange overnight and carried water to the city wall. For a time, the city wall of Xiangyang was full of buckets of all sizes.
At noon the next day, Sima Yi's army came to the city again, and the ladder was carried out, and the thousands of soldiers in front of them, each holding arrows wrapped in rags on the arrows, really as Wang Baoyu and others expected, they wanted to use this method to forcibly attack the city.
Sima Yi did not push out the giant wood that hit the city gate, the reason is very simple, the current Xiangyang city gate has been replaced with iron, which is extremely strong, and it is not feasible to break through the city gate through guò.
"Wang Baoyu, quickly open the city and surrender, the people will be saved from being ruined, and the merit is immeasurable." Sima Yi shouted loudly with his waist straight, it can be seen that yesterday's victory made him full of confidence, and he no longer called King Hanxing, but called Wang Baoyu's name.
"Sima Yi, don't dream about the Spring and Autumn Festival, if you want Lao Tzu to surrender, you don't weigh your worth." Wang Baoyu took the loudspeaker and responded unceremoniously.
"Haha, since that's the case, don't blame me for not being merciful and going on a killing spree." Sima Yi laughed, not wordy, and then waved his hand, and the archers immediately rushed forward, lit rockets, and shot at the top of the city wall.
At the same time, Hu Zhao took out a so-called talisman and threw it into the air, and almost instantly, a violent wind suddenly came.
The walls of Xiangyang City are towering, and these heavy rockets can't shoot at the top of the city wall at all, at most they can reach a few meters below the city wall in mid-air, but because of the strong wind made by Hu Zhao, these rockets are quickly connected, and from a distance, it looks like a belt with a fire cloud tied to the city wall.
Wang Baoyu felt a little relieved when he saw it, the advantages of the high city wall were very obvious, and he was about to shout at Sima Yi proudly, but he saw Hu Zhao take out a talisman from his arms again.
Wang Baoyu's heart sank, and he immediately became cautious, but he couldn't guess what kind of trick Hu Zhao wanted to use this time.
With the movement of Hu Zhao's incantation and the burning of the talisman, another gust of wind blew into the fire cloud. Unbelievably, the fire cloud was standing in mid-air, and under the strong wind, not only did it not fall, but it slowly rose, towards the city wall.
Hu Zhao's arms were stretched out, flickering up and down, Wang Baoyu finally understood, it turned out that fanning the flames was what it meant.
From a distance, half of the city wall of Xiangyang City turned into a wall of fire, and the billowing smoke made the soldiers on it cough non-stop, and they were all gray.
Under the command of Fan Jinqiang, the soldiers began to pour water into the fire clouds on the city wall.
