Chapter 868: Burning Weibei

"The fire is really ferocious, no wonder the saying goes, fire and water are merciless."

Chu Tian witnessed the fire permeating the entire north bank of the Wei River, the flames churning and black smoke billowing out.

In addition to waiting for Tai Shi Ci to take Chang'an City and Xianyang City, Chu Tian was still waiting for the wind.

Set fire to the reeds, you need to observe the wind direction, otherwise the fire will burn to the Xia army's side.

Tens of thousands of Xia troops were responsible for arson, and the flames splashed in the gale, spreading everywhere, and tens of thousands of Qin troops ambushed in the reeds suffered!

No matter how elite the army is, it can't fight the fire.

Zhou Yu relied on fire attack to defeat the Song army in Jingzhou.

Xia Jun did not step into the reeds at all, but set fire to it!

"Withdraw!"

The ambushed Li Dao and Guo Yan were terrified, knowing that they could not extinguish the fire at all, so they fled from the reeds in a hurry.

Li Yuanhao, who was in charge of attacking the Xia army, was also severely damaged by the fire and fled in a hurry.

The whole reed turned into a sea of fire, and the fire spread, and the light of the raging fire was reflected in the Weishui.

At least thousands of Qin troops in ambush were burned to death by the fire because they did not have time to escape from the dense reeds, and let out terrible screams.

The main force of the Qin army, where LΓΌ Bu and Wang Yun were located, also had to move their positions to avoid the choking smoke.

If it weren't for Wang Qian, Meng Tian, Li Xin and others who set up a quarantine zone in advance, maybe the fire would even affect their army.

Although they didn't care about the loss of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, they valued their subordinates very much.

"The fire burns Weibei, presumably King Xia has calculated the direction of the wind."

Li Si could clearly feel that the wind direction was in favor of the Xia army, and when the Xia army was in the upper hand, he could use fire attack at will.

In one fire, thousands of people were killed and tens of thousands were injured, and the morale of the Qin army was even lower, and the formation collapsed.

Compared with direct casualties, the morale blow brought by the fire attack is more deadly.

"Relying on the king's words to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. Since the turmoil in the world, tens of millions of people have died in battle. ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the fire churning, and there were screams coming out of the fire.

Li Si said: "Wenhe, I didn't expect you to have such feelings, and I thought you didn't care about the lives of these soldiers. ”

"Emotion is emotion, the price that should be paid is still to be paid."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops to escape from the reeds in disgrace, and the smoke entered their throats and they couldn't stop coughing.

The Xia army took advantage of the direction of the wind and burned the reeds with a fire, and the ambush strategy conceived by the Qin army was completely bankrupt.

"Damn, they're going to use fire!"

"Our ambush must have been discovered by the Xia army!"

"Xia Jun, Xia Jun is killing!"

Before Li Dao and Guo Yan had time to react, a large number of Xia army soldiers and horses pressed on the Qin army when the formation was disrupted by the fire!

Chu Tian has the highest cavalry bonus at present, and Wu Qi has the strongest infantry bonus at present, and the two of them cooperate with each other!

The iron cavalry is crisscrossed, King Arthur led the Knights of the Round Table to surprise Li Dao and Guo Yan who escaped from the reeds!

Li Dao and Guo Yan have no way to retreat, either the reeds where the fire spreads, or the bottomless Weishui, or King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table and the Western Knight Army, Li Dao and Guo Yan can only choose one way!

Chu Tian captured a group of Western knights and incorporated them into King Arthur's legion, and so far, there are less than two thousand knights left in the knight army, and hundreds of knights of the round table.

Even so, the knight army, which was dominated by chain mail and plate armor, launched a charge when the morale of Li Dao and Guo Yan's remnants was low and the formation was chaotic, directly crushing Li Dao and Guo Yan's remnants!

The remnants of Li Dao and Guo Yan were crowded between the fire and the river, and many Xiliang soldiers fell into the Weishui and were washed away by the river.

King Arthur held the holy sword in his hand and slashed hundreds of people, and the knights of the round table then harvested and killed thousands of people, completely defeating Li Dao and Guo Yan!

On the front, the Wei Wushu army commanded by Wu Qi gathered about 20,000 Wei Wushu to serve as the main force to attack the Chinese army of Lu Bu and Wang Yun!

The women's army was exhausted, and the Jianyan crossbowmen commanded by Liang Hongyu threw crossbow arrows, and a round of crossbow arrows shot hundreds of Qin troops.

Fan Lihua's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Hua Mulan's Iron Eagle Scouts galloped out, and Mu Guiying's infantry armored heavy infantry followed Wei Wu's advance.

The Shenji Battalion, which is cool in summer, uses firearms to advance, and Li Xiuning's Women's Army is responsible for providing melee protection for the Shenji Battalion.

Monk Wanyan Chen had a hideous expression and was also very crazy, leading the loyal and filial piety army and the Heli army, and took the initiative to fall into battle.

In addition, there were a large number of low-level troops from Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Yuzhou, about 300,000, using the tactics of crowds to storm the Qin army.

Chu Tian rarely uses crowd tactics, but in special times, it is not impossible to use crowd tactics.

The advantage of low-level troops is that the recruitment cycle is short, there is no upper limit on the number, and so counties with low-level barracks can be recruited, so after the battle of Liaoxi, the high-level troops have lost a lot, and Chutian can only use the power of low-level troops to pacify Guanzhong.

The low-level troops are not weak under the large bonuses of Chutian or Wu Qi, these generals.

The high-tier classes take the initiative to attack, and the low-tier classes follow.

"Defeat the Xia army, crown the king!"

The green tendons on Lu Bu's forehead became thicker, and he ordered the whole army to attack, and he personally led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Iron Eagle Warriors, and Sanhe Cavalry to attack!

As a cavalry general, Lu Bu's bonus to cavalry is not low, so he wants to give it a go!

Lu Bu's goal is to complete the loyal and filial piety army of Monk Wanyan Chen, find Monk Wanyan Chen, and Fang Tian draws a halberd to strike with all his might!

Monk Wanyan Chen was caught off guard, and could only meet it with a gun, and his body shook!

The two horses clashed, and Monk Wanyan Chen was almost killed by Lu Bu in seconds!

In the Great War of Western Liao, Monk Wanyan Chen was severely injured by the Hongyi cannon, and his force declined permanently, and his personal force was far from being Lu Bu's opponent.

After the Battle of Liaoxi, the Zhongxiao Army and the Heli Army were less than half of their troops, and they were attacked by the Iron Eagle Warriors, the Sanhe Cavalry, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and were quickly defeated.

"Xia Jun, that's just it!"

Lu Bu fell into a desperate situation, entered a peerless state, and swept the surrounding cavalry!

It's just that what Lu Bu didn't expect was that the main force he relied on to break the Xia army was actually mostly the elite left by Lao Qin.

If Lao Qin was in command of the Qin army, with Chu Tian's state after the end of the Great War in Liaoxi, he would definitely avoid confrontation with Lao Qin.

But the current commander is Lu Bu, so Chu Tian dared to launch the Guanzhong War immediately after the Great War in Liaoxi.

In the rear, more than 80,000 low-ranking cavalry killed.

Chutian wanted to use the tactics of crowds to pile up Lu Bu to death.

Lu Bu relied on his personal strength and the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse.

Chu Tian didn't believe that with his terrifying bonus, Lu Bu could kill tens of thousands of low-level cavalry.

"It seems that there is no need to use the Hongyi cannon."

Chu Tian brought back the tenth-level firearm Hongyi Cannon from the battlefield in western Liaoning, but it was not put to use, because there was no need to use it at all.

The main role of the Hongyi cannon is to destroy the enemy's army and demoralize, and the current Qin army is already quite chaotic.

The Xia army didn't have time to drag the Hongyi cannon to the front, and Lu Bu was already defeated.

Zhang Xiu led a team of Xiliang iron cavalry and low-level cavalry to stay in the camp, and he saw that Lu Bu took the initiative to fall into battle, counterattacked the Xia army, and actually crushed the loyal and filial piety army of the monk Wanyan Chen.

He couldn't help but look at Jia Xu hesitantly.

Zhang Xiu also didn't know if Lu Bu would win this big battle.

I saw Jia Xu give him a look.

Zhang Xiu hesitated again and again, and finally said to his subordinates: "Lu Bu intends to murder the old master and hit the stone with an egg, we should abandon the darkness and turn to the light and take refuge in King Xia!" ”

Zhang Xiu's subordinates were in an uproar, they didn't expect that when Lu Bu fought against him, Zhang Xiu chose to defect, betrayed Lu Bu, and took refuge in King Xia.

Many legions may not be loyal to the monarch, and they sometimes trust their generals more, especially when LΓΌ Bu has just ascended to the throne, his prestige is not enough, and the people's hearts are not stable.

After Zhang Xiu decided to surrender, his subordinates followed the commander to mutiny.

"How dare you betray the court?!"

Wang Yun and other supervisors of the imperial court wanted to contain Zhang Xiu.

However, since Zhang Xiu had decided to rebel, the matter had to be done, and said to Hu Che'er, the number one fierce general behind him: "Kill them." ”
