At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 196

When Gao Bufan immediately stood on the pontoon bridge with his sword in hand, a round of rising sun just jumped out from the eastern horizon, and Wan Dao Xiaguang seemed to be released from behind him, dazzling and dazzling!

"Cross—the river!" Gao Bufan pointed the horizontal knife in his hand, and spit out two words, his voice was calm and powerful, tearing through the hunting wind of the river, and clearly reaching the ears of every Sui soldier present.

"Cross-the river!" The Sui soldiers shouted almost in unison, as if a mountain roared and a tsunami made people's blood surge.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wuzhou, who was the first echelon, led the five hundred infantrymen under his command to take the lead on the pontoon bridge, and rushed towards the opposite bank at a fast pace. The off-string arrows rowed towards the opposite bank, and the people in charge of steering the boat were all the villagers in Liu'anli, and Dou Xianniang was among them.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were in charge of leading the cavalry to stop the rear and prevent the defenders in Liaodong City from going out of the city to block them.

At this time, the Goguryeo defenders in the water village on the opposite bank were obviously prepared. When Liu Wuzhou led the vanguard and approached from the pontoon bridge, the water village on the other bank shot a dense rain of arrows. The Sui soldiers who rushed to the front were like cutting wheat on the spot Like a big fall, more than a dozen corpses fell into the river, which immediately dyed the river red.

Liu Wuzhou rushed to the front, fortunately he was holding a shield, otherwise this wave would be a ghost of arrows, even so, he was frightened into a cold sweat, only to see that the shield in his hand was full of sharp arrows, it was very shocking. Obviously, there are at least [-] archers in the water village on the opposite bank, so it can be inferred that the defenders are probably more than a thousand people.

"Sword and shield hand is in front, sword and shield hand is in front!" Liu Wuzhou shouted hoarsely, and immediately adjusted the offensive formation. At the same time, the archers of the Sui army on the warship also started shooting to cover the main attacking comrades on the pontoon bridge.

Gao Bufan's expression was rare, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Beat the drums and cheer."

Several wrestlers immediately set up two battle drums at the head of the bridge here, beating thud-thump-thump-thump, the Sui army's morale was boosted by the sound of the fierce drums, and they rushed forward like a tide. It cannot be spread out, and the superiority in numbers cannot be used, and the sharp arrows in the water village are overwhelming, overwhelming the Sui army. Even if the Sui army had shields in their hands, they still suffered heavy casualties, and people were hit by arrows from time to time. overboard.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan couldn't help secretly worrying. It seems that there are far more defenders in the water village on the other side than he expected. With this density of arrow rain, there are at least two to 300 people for the archers. There are 2000 people, careless!
At this time, the archers of the Sui Army on the warship started to use rockets, and the oil-stained bows and arrows fell into the water village with a whistling sound, and suddenly bloomed in patches, with flames everywhere, and black smoke billowing.

The rockets obviously worked. The rain of arrows from the water fortress was much sparser. It is estimated that the people inside were busy putting out the fire. Liu Wuzhou took advantage of the opportunity and led his troops to advance rapidly. Encountered a more tenacious resistance.

The Goguryeo defenders occupied a favorable location, and countless spears were aimed at the bridgehead, and in front of the spears was an impenetrable shield formation, which was daunting.Liu Wuzhou tried to attack several times, but he couldn't shake the opponent's shield at all. He was stabbed to death by a spear, and Liu Wuzhou himself was almost stabbed to death.

This was a bad situation, the vanguard troops were blocked at the bridgehead and couldn't move forward, and the rear troops were also trapped on the bridge, and the arrow rain in the water village began to gather again, and Sui soldiers were killed or injured by arrows from time to time.

Gao Bufan's brows were furrowed, the situation is not good. The longer the time drags on, the greater the casualties will be. The greater the casualties, the lower the morale. Once the morale of the Sui soldiers is disintegrated, they will really be defeated. Moreover, if The defenders in the water village on the other side went all out and cut off the pontoon bridge directly. The consequences would be unimaginable. At least half of the Sui army on the bridge would die.

The situation is critical, we can't delay any longer, we must capture the opposite bridge as soon as possible!
Gao Bufan broke his heart, ordered someone to bring a jar of oil, and shouted: "Xingyan, help me."

When Pei Xingyan saw Gao Bufan holding a shield in one hand and a large jar full of oil in the other, he immediately understood, and said in a deep voice, "No problem, but you have to be careful, Changqing."

Gao Bufan nodded, he had already stepped onto the pontoon bridge, and galloped towards the opposite bank like a galloping horse. Pei Xingyan flipped his wrist, and the two stone bows were already in his hands. He lit a rocket and buckled it on the string, and followed closely Gao Bufan sprinted behind him, and at the same time shouted sharply: "Get out of the way."

Seeing this, the Sui soldiers on the bridge gave way one after another. Gao Bufan's footsteps were flying, and he rushed to the second half of the pontoon bridge in a blink of an eye. The Sui soldiers here were densely formed, and above his head was a dense rain of arrows from the opposite side. It is impossible to give way to Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan let out a long cry, he jumped up like a bird, stepped on the shoulders of the Sui soldiers and continued to run forward, the speed was not much slower, as if walking on flat ground, Pei Xingyan who was following behind couldn't help it Applaud loudly, but he doesn't have such great lightness skills, so he can only stop and stand in the middle of the pontoon bridge. Fortunately, with the range of two stone bows, the distance should be enough. He is confident in his archery skills.

Gao Bufan's long howl was like a dragon's chant, instantly attracting the attention of both sides on the battlefield, plus he was flying over the heads of the people, it was difficult not to attract attention.

The Goguryeo defenders in the water village couldn't help being stunned. What does this bird man want to do with a wine jar?Whatever he does, shoot him and it's over!

In an instant, countless sharp arrows greeted Gao Bufan. When Dou Xianniang saw it on the boat, her little face turned pale with fright, and she screamed: "Brother Gao."

ding ding dong dong...

The shield Gao Bufan held was full of arrows, like a hedgehog. The scene was simply thrilling.At this time, Gao Bufan had already rushed ten meters away from the bridge, and suddenly screamed again, swung his right hand violently, and the wine jar containing dozens of catties of oil flew out roaring.

It's now!

Pei Xingyan seemed to have a tacit understanding, and with a crash, the rocket flew out of the string.I saw that the wine jar drew a parabola in the air, and when it reached the highest point, it was just above the bridgehead shield formation.

when……

The rocket shot by Pei Xingyan seemed to have eyes, and it hit the wine jar, which shattered on the spot, and dozens of catties of oil splashed out, and then exploded, turning into a large cloud of fire and rain.

The defender's shield hand under the fire rain suffered catastrophe immediately. The shield can block arrows, swords, spears, swords and halberds, but it can't stop the fire rain falling from the sky.

Boom...

The deadly flames fell from the sky, and the shield array below burned instantly, and quickly collapsed. Many shield bearers were on fire, screaming and rolling around on the ground...

It's just that oil is poured on the body and ignited. Unless the amount is not large, the gods of Daluo are hard to save, so in a short while, many shield players have become burning men. No matter how miserable they scream and struggle, they finally escaped The fate of being burned alive, even if you survived by chance, the person who was burned in a large area would definitely be worse than death.

The shield at the head of the bridge disintegrated, and the nearby defenders were also panicking to avoid the flames. As long as Liu Wuzhou was not stupid, he knew what to do at this moment. Flying, the gun body swept across, smashed the sky cap of a defender, and shouted majestically: "Brothers, kill!"

"Kill!" The Sui soldiers, like the tide, successfully seized the bridgehead, and all the defenders and shields on fire were kicked into the river.

Gao Bufan looked back and saw that Pei Xingyan was still standing in the middle of the pontoon, giving him a thumbs up. He couldn't help but smile knowingly, and at the same time he was relieved. Don't look at him just now, but in fact, there are many dangers, so dense The rain of arrows, as long as one or two are accidentally hit, the opponent will be killed or injured.
