The last three kingdoms

Chapter 746

In the dark night, countless cold arrows were shot "swish". Although the Shu army was wearing armor and holding shields, many soldiers were caught off guard by the arrows and fell to the ground.

Despite certain psychological preparations, when the Di army's cold arrows struck, it still caused a lot of confusion for the attacking Shu army, and the offensive formation of the Shu army was disrupted.

"But that's all!" Li Rulong sneered, and ordered Di Bing to increase the intensity of their arrows and strike the Shu army a second time.

The random arrows attacked the Shu army like a torrential rain. Even if they were armed to the teeth, it was indeed very difficult to advance under such a dense arrow rain. The Shu army continued to suffer casualties. The attack speed of the Shu army, which was originally as fast as a turtle, completely stagnated at this moment.

"Archers, counterattack!" The captain commanding the attack shouted loudly. If you advance against the rain of arrows, the Shu army's strong defense measures will not be able to withstand it. Attacking troops provide cover.

The Shu army's archers immediately counterattacked, but in the darkness, they couldn't tell the enemy's direction at all. They could only reflect in the direction of the enemy's arrows. It is not known whether the target was hit or not.

The Di people are in the dark, and the Shu army is in the light. This situation is obviously beneficial to the Di people. The Di people can clearly see the Shu army, so they can target the target, but the Shu army can't see the Di army. The result of the two sides shooting at each other is naturally self-evident.

Li Rulong laughed loudly, and ordered Di Bing to put down the log.The thick rolling logs roared down the hillside, attacking the Shu army with the momentum of sweeping away thousands of troops.

In mountain offensive and defensive warfare, the log is a more powerful weapon than the bow and arrow. The log can ignore the opponent's defense and kill the enemy in rows and patches. As long as the log is within the attack range of the log, the enemy is almost impossible to dodge.

Several rolling logs whizzed down, and the Shu army could only retreat in embarrassment, ending this wave of tentative offensive.

The failure of the first attack did not surprise Wang Qi. The offensive and defensive battle at night was the most difficult to fight. The Di people, who were familiar with the geography and took advantage of the geographical advantage, completely hid in the darkness, while the Shu army had to rely on torches. Being in the light, in this light and darkness, good and bad are judged, and it is too difficult to break through Niu Shou Mountain.

A school lieutenant next to him offered advice to Wang Qi: "Captain Wang, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. This battle is not easy to fight. It is better to use rockets to shoot at the enemy's stronghold and set the enemy's stronghold on fire, so that the Di people who are hiding in the dark can be killed." manifested."

When Wang Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, and even said that he had a good idea, and immediately ordered the Shu army to prepare rockets, and shot them in the direction of Niushou Village.

One after another rockets drew streamers of light in the air and shot towards Niushou Village.

It is spring, although the tender grass has germinated and the branches have turned green, but the mountains and plains are still full of countless dead branches and leaves. It ignited.Countless rockets landed in the mountains, quickly causing a raging fire, and even the wooden fence of Niu Shou Village was ignited.

Li Rulong was shocked and hurriedly ordered to put out the fire.

It was because the fire was too scattered that it did not cause disaster to the Di people's cottage, but the fire all over the mountains still revealed the hidden true face of the Di people, which provided an opportunity for the Shu army to attack.

Wang Qi immediately seized the opportunity and attacked aggressively. The flames all over the mountains and plains pointed out the direction for the Shu army. Now that the Shu army attacked, they didn't even need to fight the flames, and the enemy on the opposite side became clearly visible under the light of the fire.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive sides have returned to an equal position, but the Di people defended according to the geographical advantages, and the Shu army, which is superior in numbers, was at a disadvantage in terms of geographical advantages. The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.

While launching an offensive on Niu Shou Mountain, several other troops of the Shu army also launched non-stop attacks on Horseshoe Village, Alpaca Village, Jiming Village and Langtu Village that were separated by the Di people.

The second person to enter the attacking position was Lu Xun who led Suzaku's left battalion. The stronghold he attacked was Horseshoe Village. Like Wang Qi, Lu Xun was very cautious when he first attacked, and only sent a small number of Shu soldiers as Exploratory attack.

Being so cautious also has a great relationship with Lu Xun who used to be a guerrilla captain, dealing with the enemy, if Lu Xun did not have extraordinary means and courage, it would be impossible to survive.

But without exception, Lu Xun's tentative attack failed, and Lu Xun took the initiative to set fire to the mountain, engulfing the entire Horseshoe Mountain in a sea of ​​flames.

The Di people were busy fighting the fire, and the Shu army took advantage of the situation to launch an attack. The Shu army quickly cleared the surrounding Di people and occupied the outer positions of Horseshoe.

The initial victory did not make Lu Xun complacent, he immediately increased his letter, and fought with Wan Chaofeng, the general of the Di army guarding the Horseshoe Village, and the fight was inextricable.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Mu of the White Tiger Army launched an attack on the Alpaca Village. Seeing the flames of Niu Shou Village and Horseshoe Village burning into the sky, Fu Mu made a sudden move and also used the method of fire attack. The enemy in the dark was exposed, and he didn't even take a tentative step.

Not to be outdone, Zhou Xu led Qilin Zuoying to launch an attack on Jiming Village. Although the three groups of troops were somewhat different from each other, the difference was not too far. It was almost as if the war had just started over there, and this side had already entered At the location of the attack, the flames soared into the sky, almost turning half of the sky red.

When Luo Xi led Yong'an Zuoying to attack Langtu Village, it was half a beat slower than the Shu army who attacked Niushou Village, Horseshoe Village, Alpaca Village, and Jiming Village. In terms of action, it is slower than the other teams that are all cavalry, but of course not much slower. After all, when attacking at night like this, the speed of the cavalry cannot be much faster than the infantry. In the end, the cavalry Also had to dismount to use as infantry.

Secondly, another aspect is that the five cottages are arranged in sequence. The journey to Langtu Village is longer than that to Niushouhan, Horseshoe Village, Alpaca Village, and Jiming Village. The four passers-by came more slowly.

The flames were already raging over there, and the fierce battle must be raging, Luo Xi was secretly anxious, the five attacking armies had to attack at the same time, so that it was possible to restrain the Di people's counterattack methods, and the four villages had already started, only a few On his way, Luo Xi gave orders to speed up the march.
