Song Dynasty

Chapter 259 Rocket
In the battlefield of Chongxiao Town.

Zhong Ziang couldn't believe his eyes, he had gathered 1000 troops, but he couldn't eat the Sizhou army's 100-man convoy.

He first concentrated all his forces and charged forward using the crowd tactics, but the cunning enemy even lined up the carts and stood behind them.Now, the enemy's chariot formation suddenly opened, and a tall general suddenly led the dead soldiers out.

This enemy can be said to be armed to the teeth, his whole body is covered with steel, and his hands are made of rare bones.The black light swept across, invincible.These damn northerners are so damn strong.What they use in their hands is this kind of unreasonable blunt weapon, which hurts when rubbed, and dies when hit.Compared with them, his soldiers are as weak as chickens.

In a blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed, and the malnourished Manichaeists collapsed.

One after another, the soldiers yelled and turned around and fled. The boats that had already docked immediately turned around and rowed desperately towards the reeds.Because it was too crowded, soldiers were constantly pushed into the water.After a while, there was a dense layer of black heads on the surface of the water.

Fortunately, they were good at water, so they all threw away their weapons, tore off their crude armor, and swam desperately after stepping on the water.

On the shore, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and in a blink of an eye there was no living soldier to be seen.

"How could it be possible to be repulsed by the enemy so easily?" Zhong Ziang was so angry that his chest was about to explode: "What's going on/"

"Whoa!"

After the tall enemy general drove the Manichaeists into the water, he retreated into the chariots, and the archers began to shoot.

Clusters of arrows rained into the water, and the poor Manicheans in the water had no shelter and could only close their eyes and wait for death.Immediately, the surface of the water seemed to be boiling, and the muddy river water surged with red human blood, accompanied by screams.

The battle lasted only a pot of tea, and it was estimated that Zhong Ziang had already lost thirty or forty lives.

This kind of tragic casualty was unbearable, and such a failure was also unacceptable to him.His Royal Highness the crown prince, who had concentrated ten times the enemy's strength, was defeated by the enemy's one hundred heavy soldiers. If he fled back in such a despondent way, how could he be seen by others.

Thinking of Yang Yao's ironic smiling face, Zhong Ziang snatched a long gun and shouted, "Follow me!"

Several generals under him were shocked, and even stopped him and shouted: "Your Highness, the thief is too fierce, and he is relying on a cart. The land on the shore is too narrow, no matter how many people go there, it will not be possible. Tactics! What status are you, how can you charge forward?"

"What is my identity, can't I be the first to enter the battle?" Zhong Ziang's eyes were bloodshot and he struggled hard.However, the words of his subordinates are a reminder.

Yes, the thieves were really hateful, and the ten carts lined up on the bank were like a low wall.The soldiers under him had to climb onto the carts before they could contact the enemy after landing. Moreover, the enemy was not passively beaten. The tall enemy general would rush out suddenly with the dead.

If you just rushed over like this, it would undoubtedly be a refueling tactic and unintentional death.

No matter how many soldiers die, Zhong Ziang will not frown. Anyway, my god religion has many soldiers, and there are plenty of important people.If it's all gone, it's a big deal to catch a group of people to enrich the army.

However, if he was defeated by the enemy a few more times, the morale of his soldiers would be wiped out, and they might be dispersed at some point.At that time, no matter how I marched, I couldn't kill him.

At this moment, his body suddenly stopped, as if he had been hit with a fist.

Looking down, he saw a feathered arrow just stuck in his lower abdomen.

"My God, I've been hit by an arrow!" Zhong Ziang looked at the quivering feather arrow in surprise, and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The subordinates were in chaos, rushing to protect him at the same time.Someone held up the shield, while someone reached out and tore the feathered arrow from him.

The order was so chaotic that the boat kept shaking and almost capsized.

Fortunately, Zhong Ziang was wearing iron armor, even ordinary feathered arrows could not break even the oily skin on his body.But Liu Ya had no eyes on the battlefield, he probably recognized his Nakamaki commander flag, and the archers on the bank shot towards this side at the same time.A guard was so unlucky that he was shot in the throat with an arrow, completely piercing his neck.

He lowered his head numbly, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat, and blood flowed from his mouth and nostrils like a fountain.He slowly stretched out his hand and tried to pull out the long arrow, but he completely lost his strength when he touched the shaft of the arrow, and fell off the boat with a plop.

The sound of "Ding Dong" was endless, and in a blink of an eye, almost everyone on the boat, including Zhong Ziang, had arrows on their backs.

Zhong Ziang looked through the chaotic crowd, and the row of dark carts on the bank was so tall that it was like a solid city wall.

At the same time, the Manichaeists on the water also drew their bows and shot back, but this blow was almost negligible to the enemy.

Although Zhong Ziang's chest was completely filled with anger, his heart suddenly moved at this moment.He violently pushed away the guards in front of him, took out a rocket, put it on the torch in the bow, lit it, and shot it back, shouting: "My friends, burn that damn cart with rockets! .Don't capture them, I only want their lives!"

Manichaeans are good at water warfare, and archers always have rockets in their hands to burn enemy ships.

These rockets are also easy to make, but the arrowhead is wrapped with a tuft of bamboo hemp soaked in tung oil.

Hearing his order, the Manichaeists woke up like a dream, and they all drew their bows and shot at the enemy's cart.

For a moment, the air was full of fire points flying with long trails of smoke.

Although Sizhou Junxiangyong on the shore tried his best to put out the fire, he was so busy.Gradually, clusters of flames rose up one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they burned into one piece.

The sun has risen, and the surrounding area is red, but the color of the flames is redder and brighter.

The Sizhou Army and Township Army couldn't hold back any longer, and at the same time uttered a cry, threw away all their luggage, and ran southward in a mess.

"Chasing, chasing and killing them all!" Zhong Ziang had already fired a real fire, he drew out the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Everyone go ashore and avenge the dead church members!"

"Kill it!"

"Kill all Sizhou dogs, leave no one behind!"

1000 people howled at the same time, carrying simple weapons, and chasing after them with bare feet stepping on the mud.

I was busy for less than half an hour, so many church members died, but I didn't grab anything.At this moment, they just want to kill.

Without Zhong Ziang's urging, they ran faster one by one.

After stepping on the horse, Zhong Ziang kept shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, before you are the emissaries sent by the Dark Demon King, kill them all, kill all these demons, Great Ming Zun will protect us!"
