Feng Heming

Chapter 372
The fire came suddenly and quickly, and the screams were endless, especially when Master Wang was wearing armor, the fire ignited from the soles of his feet and climbed to the armor on his body, which was even more painful.

The grass on the ground was covered with fire, so it was obviously impossible to roll on the ground to put out the fire. There were too many people, pushing and yelling, they would bring the sparks from their bodies to those who were not on fire.

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, and the grass on the ground had been dried long ago. Adding kerosene, it was a disaster.

The fire spread quickly. The general was riding a horse. His horse's hooves stepped on the fire grass. many people.

At this time, when the strong wind blows, the wind helps the fire, and the fire on the ground spreads towards the city wall extremely quickly, and finally stops when it is thirty feet away from the city wall. If anyone can come to this position, they will see a very small There is a gap between the grassland and the grassland, and there is water in this gap. It is this dividing line that keeps the fire out.

There was a commotion in Wang Shi's tent at the rear, and soon more sergeants were dispatched, carrying wooden buckets in their hands, and pouring water on the infantry. These were the water sources Wang Shi found nearby yesterday for daily use in the army.

The water has too little effect on the fire, and there are people shouting to run out quickly, run out quickly.

The people on the city wall watched all this, Zheng Haoliang clicked his tongue, slightly stunned, "This fire is really scary."

Thinking of the trap they set up before Master Wang arrived, and achieved such good results, Zheng Haoliang was very grateful in his heart, and murmured, "Fortunately, the defenders didn't use this trick to deal with us before."

Jiang Yuanxi smiled softly, "This method can only be used once, and it is useless if you have precautions. And it can only be used when the sun is hot in the afternoon. If you use it in the morning, there will be dew, and the fire will be easily extinguished." , if you wait until the weather is cold, it will also be difficult to use, it can only be said that the time and place are favorable.”

But Zheng Haoliang was still full of emotion, listening to Jiang Yuanxi's words seemed calm, but who had encountered this kind of tactic before?What a rare general in a hundred years, after this battle, even Peng Gao will retreat three feet in front of Wu Niang.

The crowd had been on the city wall, watching the masters rushing to rescue them, and hearing the screams one after another, they worked hard for more than an hour before they rescued the infantrymen.

Zheng Haoliang rubbed his chin, "You say, is the general in command of the infantry dead or alive?"

They saw with their own eyes that the general was thrown off his horse and fell to the ground, and they didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"Let's go, Master Wang suffered heavy losses this time. Not only were there a lot of casualties, but even the armor was damaged a lot. Let's see how they respond."

Jiang Yuanxi ordered the soldiers on the city wall to keep a close watch on them, and led them back to the barracks. At the same time, under Jiang Boyong's control, the news of today's two confrontations quickly spread throughout the Northland, and soon even the capital and Southland heard the news.

No one was harmed, but Master Wang came back in a feather, and the damage was extremely heavy. This result shocked the world. When everyone heard the news, the first reaction was disbelief. After they had to believe it later, they were eager to know What kind of method did Wang Shi use to make such a big fall.

The government and the public were shocked. This result had never appeared in their minds. They had thought about many kinds of results, but they never thought that Jiang Yuanxi's troops had not even played a battle, so many deaths and injuries to Master Wang.

Chen Jin erupted into a thunderstorm in Beique Hall, and issued three imperial decrees in succession, ordering Li Zhongwen to take back Yanmen Pass as soon as possible.

The sheriff of Yanmenguan was pale, and he was absent-minded when eating in the evening. He couldn't hold his chopsticks steadily several times.

At night, the Danyang soldiers were even more energetic, fearing that they would encounter another night attack. Fortunately, the night was passed safely, and even the next day, Master Wang did not move.

On the third day, Master Wang dispatched again.

This time, seeing the ten catapults approaching surrounded by many infantry, Jiang Yuanxi slightly raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Zhong Lang really should not be underestimated."

She understood his strategy, and what happened next also verified her thoughts.

In front of the catapult, there were infantrymen holding shields. When they were about to reach 170 feet, the infantry raised their shields in unison to avoid the wave of stones falling from the sky, and then accelerated to rush forward until they reached the [-]-foot mark. The distance just stopped.

Then they saw a catapult loaded with stones and throwing stones at them.

Jiang Yuanxi clicked his tongue, "I see that this stone was taken from us."

They threw a lot of stones the day before yesterday, and after being cleaned up by Master Wang, they became weapons used against them.

Jiang Yuanxi squinted his eyes to avoid a stone falling towards this side. From the confrontation the day before yesterday, Li Zhongwen saw that she was trapped in the city, and the throwing distance of her catapult was limited. As long as she came to a suitable distance, her catapult It is useless, and the fire has already been used once, the grass on the ground has been burned long ago, and it is impossible to do it again, so he chose to use the catapult in this position, and it really brought them a certain amount. Trouble.

But Jiang Yuanxi is not very worried. If the previous city wall was not reinforced, she would still have to worry about it. Now what?
Jiang Yuanxi said regretfully: "I don't know if the rhubarb crossbow has been delivered to Mr. Huo. If we have the rhubarb crossbow in our hands, that would be great."

Not to mention Zheng Haoliang, even Hu Bugui and the others also twitched the corners of their mouths. The rhubarb crossbow must be pulled by a strongman, but anyone who has seen the force of Jiang Yuanxi and Shao Sihu would like to mourn for the enemy camp.

It would be a nightmare if a killer weapon like the rhubarb crossbow fell into the hands of the two of them.

They guaranteed that the ten catapults of Wangshi would be destroyed under the terrible arrow force of the big yellow crossbow—as long as the pole of the catapult was shot down, the catapult would be useless.

As long as the people on the city wall carefully avoided the stones, there were basically no casualties, except for some unlucky ones, who did not die, and were injured and were helped down by colleagues to heal them.

If you can see the scene of the city wall clearly, you will find a very interesting scene. When the stone falls, the people on the city wall fly away like birds, and then gather together again, just like this, constantly avoiding gathering and avoiding gathering under the tide of stones.

At the end, Zheng Haoliang wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained, "Is this for practice?"

Obviously, he was extremely disdainful of Master Wang's methods.

At the end, there were no more stones in the catapult. Jiang Yuanxi stretched his waist and watched the masters retreat, "If Mr. Zhong Lang only has this means, then I will be too disappointed."
