Chapter 432: Guarding by Fire

Da! Da! Da!

In the gray night, a black whirlwind suddenly came, appearing outside the black nest village.

"Kill!"

Under a deafening sound, the enemy troops approaching in front of them rushed towards the earthen village non-stop, and they wanted to directly capture this earthen village.

However, although the soldiers in the earthen village were prepared in a hurry, they were not so easy to capture.

"Put!"

Under Xiahou Lan's order, countless crossbow arrows flew out, turning into a cold cold light, shooting wildly towards the enemy troops advancing in front.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, the enemy troops in the first row in front were shot down by crossbow arrows, all killed, and the corpses of horses and people were trampled by the war horses behind, only slightly blocked, but they were soon rushed by the army behind.

"Set fire!"

Seeing that the enemy army was not afraid of death, Xiahou Lan did not hesitate, but with an order, rockets flew out one after another and landed directly on a piece of land in front of the earthen village.

Hula!

Suddenly, a group suddenly rushed up, blocking the enemy army in front.

At the beginning, after Xiahou Lan seized the black nest, he bought some hot oil from the surrounding cities, and thought that it would be used as military funds and sent to Changshan, but he didn't expect that it would be used today.

However, they did not have time to spread the fire net outside, but only smashed the vasks of fire oil from outside the earthen wall and let it flow around.

There wasn't much time for Xia Houlan, and he couldn't let the soldiers go out of the city and take this risk.

The flames rose into the sky, and all of a sudden, the war horse in front of him had just stabilized his body, and he was hit by the cavalry behind him, and the powerful impact force made these soldiers lean and fly into the sea of fire in front of them.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

The horn of the retreating soldiers sounded at the same time, but the local war horses had already run, and the road in front of the black nest was not very wide, so it was impossible to give them a chance to turn the horse's head at all.

The soldiers, who were still watching, were squeezed into the sea of fire in front of them by their own people.

For a while, the shouts kept coming out, but Xiahou Lan in the city turned his head to look at the catapults placed at the corners of the earthen villages on both sides.

"Catapult fires two rounds!"

Xia Houlan said coldly, changing her previous momentum.

Wu Dayong next to him hurriedly conveyed the order, and after more than a dozen breaths, he only heard a whistling sound, and when he passed by his ears, he heard the enemy soldiers outside the fire wall in front of him, letting out a tragic roar.

"Pass my military order and throw all the straw in the city into the flames outside the city!"

Xiahou Lan knew that these flames could not last long, and after the fire was extinguished, the enemy army would definitely charge, and the gate of his earthen fortress could not stop the impact of ten thousand armies at all, so he issued another order.

Suddenly, a thousand soldiers in the city began to act, constantly transporting all kinds of things that could be burned to the city.

The flames were under Xia Houlan's control, and they had been burning fiercely.

The enemy troops outside the city were scattering around, and one of the generals at the head looked ahead with a glint in his eyes, and a scribe behind him said with a glint in his eyes: "He's delaying time!" ”

"Hmmm! Knowing that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and us, he wants to use this trick to delay us, and let the people of other cities prepare! The defender of the city is a general with a mind! The general whispered.

With a chuckle, the scribe said, "Wait! They can take care of the front, but they can't take care of the back! Tonight, this village will definitely belong to our army! ”

"Hmm!"

The general also nodded, and the soldiers behind him all looked ahead, but no one dared to make a sound.

Xia Houlan took a deep breath, knowing that he would block the enemy in a short time, but this was still not a long-term situation, just as he was thinking, a soldier behind him suddenly ran over, clasped his hands and said: "General, my Shuizhai Tower Sentry found that there is an enemy fleet approaching on the river!" ”

"Open the sluice gates, smash all the three barrels of oil I left behind and pour them into the river, and when the enemy enters the water village, set it on fire!" Tell the brothers that when the fire is ignited, they are acting according to Jihua, and no one can reveal their position during this period! ”

Xia Houlan looked at the soldier and said softly.

The soldier received the order and hurried back.

After a while, the sluice gate in the Houzhai Water Village quietly opened, and there were broken pieces of wood floating on it, and a layer of oil flowers was constantly floating in the water, and some followed the current to the outside.

On top of the high wall around the water village, soldiers are hidden behind the battlements, and they are sitting on them, nervously waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Crash!

The sound of the rolling water sounded, and a small boat went straight inside, but it swaggered to the shore, and looked around, but found that there was not a single soldier here, and at that moment there was a person who quietly climbed to the top of the watchtower two meters high and slightly higher than the earthen wall, and shook the torch in his hand vigorously.

Suddenly, the big black boat in the distance was also flickering with firelight, and the waves of water were constantly rolling up, floating towards the inside outside the water village.

Poof!

Two arrows suddenly flew out, shooting the two soldiers waiting on the shore, and then two black shadows flew out from the side, dragging the body to the side of the bunker, and then picked up the torch on the ground, and watched the big ship in front of him slowly sail into the water wall.

Crash!

The sound of the water hitting the earthen wall continued to sound, and the big ships headed towards the water village, just when the big ships had just entered it and had not yet docked.

The soldiers on the shore threw the torches in their hands suddenly.

Hula!

I saw that the torch entered the water, and it did not appear to be extinguished, but caused a greater fire.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!"

The people on the boat shouted loudly, and at this time, the second ship had entered the inside, and the outer ship followed closely, and the flames were like wheat waves, moving forward layer by layer.

In an instant, two large boats were ignited by the fire, followed by the large ships outside, and some of them were also ignited by the flames in the water, and some of the boats on the Zuihou side began to retreat back in a panic.

"Put!"

At this time, a loud roar sounded in the water village, but countless soldiers on the earthen wall suddenly stood up, dragged crossbow arrows, and flew towards the enemy ships on the left and right, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers.

The flames had already touched the hearts of all the enemy troops, and no one thought of fighting back, but everyone was thinking about escaping immediately, or else they would be burned alive on the ship.

It's just that the arrows on both sides of the water village are raining down, but any soldier who emerges from the cabin will definitely not be able to avoid the attack of the flying arrows.

"Go back! haha！ The soldiers on the earthen wall erupted in laughter, but they laughed and cursed and attacked the surrounding enemies.
