Chapter 252 The Battle of the Yellow Water 4
"Okay." Jiao Rui responded.

"The matter has come to this point, we can only adapt to the situation, you go. Remember, don't be greedy for merit, and retreat when you reach your goal." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Yes! Alliance Lord."

As soon as the two turned around, they suddenly heard a huge tiger roar coming from the front line of the defensive position.

"Is this Dalang's warning?" Jiao Rui asked.

"You go do what you do, no matter what happens here, as long as you can succeed, it is victory." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Leader take care!"

The two of them plunged directly into the moonlight without asking any more questions.

"The sky is clear tonight and the moon is as bright as day. It is really a good day for a night attack. It seems that the heroes have the same idea. Liu Yi and I thought of going together." Liu Xinqi sighed secretly, and then led the guard squad forward. Line goes.

"Let's go to the front line."

……

When we arrived at the first trench, we looked to the west and saw shadows in the distance under the clear moonlight. Everywhere we looked, there were moving figures.

"It was the fairy beast Da Lang who discovered it first, earlier than our secret whistle warning." Liu Xin'ang praised: "As expected of the fairy beast!"

The night vision ability of cats cannot be underestimated. Their eyes glow at night.

Liu Xinqi knew that the enemy he would face this time was the Jurchen Tatars, so he specially brought Dalang over and placed him in the front line to prevent enemy night attacks.

"Light up the fire, our ordinary soldiers can't compare to the golden man's night vision ability. Let everyone use muskets, and those who don't have muskets use crossbows. We must defend tonight."

"Yes!"

Fifty steps in front of the trench, a firewood pile was set up every twenty steps. After the order was issued, soldiers rushed out of the trench holding earthen jars and poured kerosene on the firewood pile.

Fierce fire oil is simply processed from petroleum. It is the best raw material for fire attack. It has the characteristics of adding water to the fire and making it hotter. Liu Xinqi also recently discovered that there is very little inventory in Dengzhou Prefecture, and later discovered it east of Qingyang River. oil fields.

However, this war came too quickly and the preparation time was too short. Otherwise, if we had to make a large amount of fire oil and then use a simple catapult to project incendiary bombs, it would definitely be extremely powerful!

After the fire oil in the earthen pot was poured out, the people who rushed out quickly retreated.

Then a large number of rockets were fired from the trench, and the pyres in front were ignited one by one.

When the fire was lit, the enemy troops on the opposite side naturally knew that they had been exposed, stopped hiding, and accelerated towards this side.The sound of footsteps was dense, indicating that there were many people coming for the night attack.
"Ready to shoot!"

Liu Xinang shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Xinghan League in the trench began to charge and load their muskets. After preparations, half of the soldiers placed their muskets on the earth wall beside the trench, and the other half stood behind and waited.

When the enemy entered the fire, some of them began to extinguish the fire with earth, and some of the enemies began to use bows and arrows to shoot arrows towards the trench.

Doo doo doo doo doo......

The sound of sharp arrows pecking at the soil kept coming, and the low earth wall was almost instantly inserted into a hedgehog's skin.

There was an unlucky soldier who was hit by an arrow at a weak point in his armor. The arrow penetrated his flesh and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

A sharp and piercing whistle sounded together with the last command:
Hush~~!

"shooting!"

Boom!Boom!Boom! …

Intense gunshots rang out, the crisp roar of muskets rang out, and a white smoke dragon rose into the sky from behind the short earth wall.

One battalion of infantry had more than 300 guns, and three battalions of infantry were deployed in the first trench. They formed a two-round gun formation, and nearly [-] rounds of ammunition were fired in one shot.These bullets flew across a short distance of fifty steps in an instant and plunged into the bodies of the enemy soldiers who were attacking at night.

"what!"

"￥%&...&" "It's the Jurchens!" Liu Xinang exclaimed in shock.

"No matter who he is, just beat him." Liu Xinqi ordered.

Liu Xinang reacted and quickly continued to direct the battle.

"shooting!"

The soldiers who had been preparing in the rear stepped forward to shoot, and the soldiers who had already shot retreated to clear the chamber and load the ammunition.

"shooting!"

...

"shooting!".

...

The volleys continued without interruption. The Jurchen soldiers who were attacking at night seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall and could not get within fifty steps.

Every time a row of guns was fired, the Jurchen Tatars who came to attack at night fell down in a row like wheat, and the smell of blood and burning smoke wafted on the battlefield.

After the conical projectile enters the human body, it rolls inside the human body due to the resistance, twisting the soft human internal organs, muscles, blood vessels and some bones into a bloody mass, and then spurts out from the back with a fountain of blood.

It was the first time for the Jurchen soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin to suffer such a terrible blow. They were completely at a loss for the new weapons of the Xinghan League. Xinghan League soldiers behind the earthen wall fired at each other.

After seven or eight rounds of shooting, the general of the Jin Kingdom who came to make a surprise attack finally couldn't hold on anymore and ordered Jin to withdraw his troops.

Under the bright moonlight, the enemy retreated like a tide.

call…! !

Liu Xinqi obviously heard Liu Xinang let out a big breath.

"Isn't the Kingdom of Jin good at cavalry? Why don't they send cavalry to attack at night?" Liu Xinang asked.

Liu Xinqi didn't answer, but patted the earthen wall in front of him. Liu Xinang understood instantly.

The former troops of the Jin-Qi coalition had attacked before. They knew that people could be hidden behind the low wall of the Xinghan League, and there must be pits to hide people. How could they dare to send cavalry to charge the formation when the terrain was unknown.

"Send someone up to replenish the fire. This night attack will definitely not end so easily." Liu Xinqi ordered.

Then some soldiers rushed out of the trench carrying firewood and fire oil, and set up the fire fifty steps away, illuminating the battlefield brightly.A fierce fire oil was poured on Jin Bing's corpse, which caused the corpse to burn up, and there was a faint smell of barbecue.

The recruits who have never seen such a scene still vomited out, and all kinds of strange smells filled the trench for a while, making it unbearable.

"Let those cowards who vomited quickly bury their vomit with soil. Do you want to smoke the brothers to death?" Liu Xin'ang ordered, and then went to inspect other locations in the trench position.

About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Xinqi saw another enemy figure appearing on the opposite side. He knew that his eyesight was the best and others must not have noticed it yet.

"The enemy is here again. Warning!" Liu Xinqi ordered his guards.

The order was passed on, and the warning drum sound representing "enemy attack" came to mind.

Liu Xinang quickly returned to the command position.

It wasn't until the enemy troops moved in that we could see clearly.

"Have a shield!"

"Don't worry, it's a wooden shield. Just put it closer and hit it." Liu Xinqi said with relief.

"it is good!"

After the enemy had crossed the fire, they walked another [-] steps forward. During these [-] steps, the trenches of the Xinghan League were washed by five or six waves of arrow rain. All the soldiers were behind the low wall, with shields on their heads. , there are only a few observation holes where people stand to check the enemy's situation.
