Chapter Twenty-Seven: What a Thousand Troops
"Your Highness, the rebellious army of more than 20,000 people is all rushing towards us, please retreat a little and let us repel the rebels. ”
Wang Gui's face was extremely solemn, and God hoped that Zhao Shu could retreat a little, after all, more than 3,000 people against more than 30,000 troops was too disparity, and more than 10,000 people were all over the mountains, and the number of people alone could scare ordinary people trembling.
"Wang Gui, let you see the real means of my Qilin Army!"
Zhao Shu laughed, stretched out his hand and waved his hand to Zhang Junbao on the side, Zhang Junbao immediately understood, and waved the flag behind the formation, and in a moment, a small Taoist boy wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe led a team of auxiliaries to push out the gasoline loaded with glass bottles, and immediately retreated before and after staying in the formation.
"Knock! knock!"
Suddenly, the war drums rumbled, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array immediately split, Wu Jue and Bi Jin each dispersed with more than 1,000 people, forming a small Eight Gates Golden Lock Array separated on the left and right sides, and made way for a huge field in the middle.
In this place, behind the big array, one by one the sword and shield hands holding a large shield with a height of one hand and a long knife in the other hand were instantly lined up in front of the formation.
"Drink!"
More than a thousand people shouted violently, slammed the big shield in their hands into the ground, shrank sideways behind the shield, and pressed their backs against the shield, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black steel city wall appeared on the battlefield, but the steel city wall was not tightly sealed, but exposed gaps.
"Mighty, mighty!"
As soon as the big shield was completed, a crossbowman appeared behind the battle, and a soldier shouted in his mouth, pushing out the improved eight-bull crossbows, and in the blink of an eye, more than three hundred eight-bull crossbows appeared between the gaps in the iron shield.
In front of each heavy crossbow, three crossbow spears that flashed with cold light stretched out, and the sharp spear heads poked out, forming a sharp array of guns, dense and terrifying.
This heavy crossbow array is divided into two layers, each with more than a hundred planes, which can be shot repeatedly, forming a terrifying killing weapon.
"A lot of heavy crossbows!"
Seeing this formation, Wang Gui's face was extremely shocked, he didn't expect that the Qilin Army would have so many heavy crossbows, you must know that heavy crossbows are the most difficult to manufacture, the most difficult to maintain, and even more difficult to transport, so most of these heavy crossbows are used to defend the city, that is, among the forbidden army, there are only a dozen tens of thousands of people, and when thousands of people can use more than a hundred heavy crossbows.
At this time, not only Wang Gui's face was solemn, but Zhang Xian and others were also shocked, even Zhang Junbao and others, who were psychologically prepared, were also shocked when they saw such a terrifying heavy crossbow.
"With such a heavy crossbow, and the benefit of gasoline, it is enough to defeat thousands of horses. In particular, these heavy crossbows have been improved, and the heavy crossbows that were originally used by more than a dozen people can now be operated by three people, which greatly saves our strength. ”
Jiang Kui said with a happy face, extremely happy at the formation formed by these heavy crossbows,
"The only pity is that these heavy crossbows can only fire three ballistas at a time. The transportation was too inconvenient, and it took a large number of auxiliaries to get them here. ”
Zhao Shu looked at these heavy crossbows, and he was also happy, but there was a gap between them and the kind of scene he imagined, but in the era of cold weapons, it was enough to be proud of being able to do this.
"You don't need to be shocked, this is a heavy crossbow array that has been hollowed out of our family's foundation, let's see how powerful it is today!"
Zhao Shu stretched out his hand and said lightly, but his eyes flashed with a thick look of anticipation, Jiang Kui responded to the order, Daxu waved it, and the crossbowmen who received the order immediately started to operate.
In front of each heavy crossbow, soldiers with sledgehammers struck down their crossbows fiercely.
"Stretch!"
The sound of the bowstring shaking the air drowned out all the sounds of heaven and earth, and the sound of crossbow guns shooting out suddenly intertwined into a terrifying killing sound, and the dense crossbow guns also formed a black cloud, enveloping thousands of rebels.
For a time, countless crossbows shot a soldier to kill, shot through, and nailed to the ground, and even some crossbows split the bodies of the rebels directly, after a round of crossbows, the corpses on the ground were all over the field, and the black ballistas formed a black gun forest, erected on the ground.
"It's terrifying!"
Tang Huai, who was in charge of the crossbowmen, was also stunned when he saw this scene, he didn't expect the effect of these nearly a thousand crossbow guns to be so terrifying.
"Great Commander, a large number of heavy crossbows have appeared in the enemy army in front, killing thousands of my brothers with a single shot!"
The soldiers in the rear of Chen Tai's army were extremely frightened when they saw this crossbow gun that covered the sky and the sun, especially when they saw those soldiers who were nailed to the ground by the crossbow and connected with ordinary soldiers.
"Let the brethren give me all the strength to charge, although the power of the heavy crossbow is good, but the speed of the arrow is too slow, let the brethren rush separately, as long as we rush closer, we will win!"
Chen Tai's Chinese army tent also saw this terrifying rain of arrows, and when his heart was shocked, he was even more annoyed and kept ordering.
The Mani rebels who received the order immediately changed from a dense formation to a sparse formation, besieging in a semi-arc from all sides into the crossbow formation.
"Haha!
Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing when he saw the countless scattered rebels, Jiang Kui laughed even more, while Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Zhao Hu and others were puzzled, this enemy was scattered, and the power of the crossbow arrows was greatly reduced, why didn't His Highness and the military advisor worry about it.
In the confusion of everyone, Jiang Kui waved the big gun again, and in the waving of the command flags, the crossbowmen tied glass bottles filled with gasoline to the crossbow guns.
"Shoot!"
With a roar, crossbow guns with gasoline burst out, and these crossbow guns shot some of the rebel soldiers, but many more were nailed to the ground, and for a moment there was a thudding sound, and countless gasoline splashed on the ground.
"The Commander's words are really effective, and the casualties are a little smaller, but what is this yellow water?
The rebel generals who were leading the army to rush in thought strangely, and many rebel soldiers on the battlefield were also full of doubts, and their bodies were also splashed with these yellow-brown water, but after a moment of doubt, they continued to rush towards the Song army's large array.
"Shoot again!"
While the flag was waving, Tang Huai immediately commanded, and although many soldiers were puzzled, they also immediately did so, and the terrifying crossbow guns were no longer densely projected, but scattered in all directions, nailing these crossbow guns all over a radius of several miles.
For a while, the countless soldiers who came from the impact were stained with this yellow gasoline, and the ground was even more soaked with gasoline.
"Kill! Kill!"
When the crossbowmen threw a large amount of gasoline out, some rebels also rushed to the crossbow array, and the sword and shield men guarding these crossbowmen suddenly roared out and killed, and the big swords in their hands slashed fiercely, and the two sides immediately fought at this junction.
"It's time!
Zhao Shu said lightly, and Jiang Kui's high-spirited face was slightly stunned, and he immediately said decisively: "Your Highness has granted me the right to control the whole army, and please interfere with Your Highness, this order is still given by students!"
"Haha, although the fire of Zhurong is ferocious, I am a member of the Great Song Dynasty, and I still have this responsibility. ”
"Your Highness, if you do the power of Zhurong, you will hurt the peace of heaven, Your Highness is a wise person, and you must not betray such a bad name!"
Jiang Kui's attitude was resolute, and as soon as he drank in his mouth, he waved the order flag that had snatched the herald, and as the flag waved, the tip of each crossbow ignited the flames, and suddenly one by one the flaming arrows shot out.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the earth burst into flames, and in the blink of an eye, all the terrified flames of the land for miles were burned, and thousands of soldiers with gasoline on their bodies also burst into flames.
"Ahh
"These fires can't be extinguished!"
"Help!"
"Spare your life!"
For a while, countless screams rang out, and countless rebels let out a terrible roar, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies but could not extinguish them, and some people poured water bags on their bodies, but they could not extinguish the flames.
Within a few miles, nearly 10,000 rebels cried and roared, and the heart-rending sound moved everyone.
