Chapter 1259: Fighting against the enemy (Part 2)
Meng Tian took a rocket and lit it. Under everyone's stunned gaze, he shot an arrow at the kerosene group arranged in advance behind him.
boom……
After an explosion sounded, the oil barrels connected in series were instantly ignited, and then turned into a ferocious fire dragon, quickly swallowing up the entire intersection.
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers were shocked. Shi Long looked bitter and said, "General, why did you cut off your own retreat?"
"A way out? Do you really think we still have a way out?" Meng Tian said calmly.
Shi Long couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Yes, when infantry encounters cavalry on the plains, apart from repelling the opponent, there is no way to escape.
"But even if you can't run away, you can't give up your last chance of survival and dig your own grave."
"Dig your own grave? No, I will be digging another way out."
After saying that, Meng Tian stopped talking to Shi Long, and there was not much time left for him. He had to completely arouse the morale of the Yuan Meng army before it came over.
Meng Tian raised his spear high and was about to say something, but at this moment there was the sound of horse hooves in front of him.
"Xu..."
Wokuotai, Meng Libai and other generals who came with their horses saw that the retreat of the Jin army was blocked by a wall of fire, and all the troops were directly exposed. They couldn't help but be a little confused for a while.
"This general of the Jin army who cut off the rear did not use kerosene to stop our army, but lit a fire to seal his retreat. What was he thinking in his mind?" Meng Libai said with a puzzled look.
"Maybe he knew it was necessary, so he sought death in despair." Meng Liyuan said with a smile.
Wo Kuotai pondered for a while but then shook his head and said: "The land here is completely white, but it is no better than the previous camp. The kerosene that the Jin army took away in a hurry will burn for an hour at most and then go out on its own. It will burn out at most." It cannot stop the progress of our army.
This Jin general probably knew this, so he didn't do this useless thing. "
"Then why did the Jin army cut off its retreat?" Meng Libai asked doubtfully.
A sneer flashed at the corner of Wo Kuotai's mouth, and he explained: "The Han people once had a story of fighting to the last resort. Only by cutting off the chance of life can they find a way out. This Jin general may have wanted to set fire to cut off the escape route to inspire Jin. The army’s determination to fight to the death.”
"So, this kind of fear is not easy to provoke, then should we avoid its edge?" Meng Liyuan asked.
"No, if we delay for too long, we won't be able to catch up with the main force of the Jin army."
A glimmer of light flashed in Wo Kuotai's eyes, and he sneered: "Jin General thought he could fight our army by cutting off his retreat, but he ignored the gap between infantry and cavalry. In the face of absolute strength, there are no conspiracy rules. effect."
Meng Libai and Meng Liyuan both nodded in agreement. After all, the gap between cavalry and infantry was not so easy to make up. In addition, the Yuan army had a full 20,000 cavalry in pursuit this time.
"Send the order, and the whole army will charge directly without any stop, pushing the Jin army into the sea of fire and burning them to death." Wo Kuotai ordered with a cold face.
The Jin army, which was in panic, saw that Yuan Meng was already chasing them. They couldn't help but become more panicked, and despair appeared in everyone's hearts.
Meng Tian was not surprised at all, but after roughly estimating the number of Xia Yuan's troops, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. This was much more than he expected.
"The matter has reached this point. There is no room for turning back. Whether we live or die, it all depends on this battle."
Meng Tian raised the spear in his hand high and roared with all his strength: "The way back has been cut off, and Yuan Meng is chasing the army in front. If you want to survive, you can only defeat Yuan Meng. Soldiers, if we don't fight to the death at this time, how long can we wait?" "
[Ding dong, Meng Tian’s skill ‘Yu Hu’ is activated.
Yu Hu: Meng Tian’s unique skill.
Effect 1: When fighting against a foreign race, the commander will gain +2, the force will +3, and the morale, speed, and combat power of the entire army will increase significantly.
Effect 2: When playing against a foreign race and the enemy's troops are weak, the opponent's general will be reduced by 1 to 2 points of command and 1 to 4 points of intelligence.
Effect 3: When fighting against foreigners, when serving as the commander-in-chief, for every 10% reduction in the number of troops under his command, the entire army, including generals and soldiers, will gain +1 strength. 】
Meng Tian's achievements in the original history were basically against foreign races, and his skills were also completely aimed at foreign races.
The three effects of 'Yuhu' can only be activated when facing aliens. Each effect is good, and effect 3 is the nemesis of aliens.
Just imagine, if Meng Tian's army suffered more than half casualties, as long as the army was not defeated, the entire army would receive 5 points of force superposition. This value would increase the overall combat power of the army to a higher level.
[Ding dong, Meng Tian's skill 'Yu Hu' effect 1 is activated, and he is currently fighting against a foreign race. Therefore, Meng Tian's commander +2, his force +5, his current commander has increased to 102, his force has increased to 105, and the morale and speed of the Jin army have increased. , combat power... increased significantly.
Meng Tian's skill 'Yu Hu' is activated with effect 2, suppressing Wo Kuotai's command by 2 points and intelligence by 4 points. Wokuotai's five dimensions: Commander 92, Force 93, Intelligence 75, Politics 80, Charisma 78. The current commander of Ogedai has dropped to 90, and his intelligence has dropped to 71.
As the third son of Temujin in the original history and the second powerful man in the Great Mongolia, Ogedei's comprehensive attributes are not weak. Even if Meng Tian suppressed two points of commander, his commander attribute still has 90, command. Twenty thousand cavalry had little impact. 】
"The general is right. If you want to live, you must fight to the death. Why would a man want to die?" Shi Long shouted.
Meng Tian and Shi Long's words were like a sharp sword piercing everyone's hearts, directly revealing the cruel reality. Everyone no longer had any chance of taking any chances, and the only way to survive was to fight to the death.
"I would rather be hacked to death than burned to death and fight with the Yuanmeng people he raised as dog food."
"Yes, since both the left and right are dead, I would rather die than drag a few Yuanmeng bastards to back me up."
………
The aura of despair that filled the Jin army not only did not diminish, but instead became more intense. However, everyone's eyes were full of madness.
As the saying goes: The army of mourners will win.
The Ai Army can exert more than twice its usual combat power, but there is one state in which the army's combat power is still higher than that of the Ai Army, and that is the Army of Despair.
Anything a person does after being completely desperate is undoubtedly extremely terrifying, because he no longer has any worries, and the eight thousand Jin army now cut off are rapidly transforming into an army of despair.
Today's Jin army does not have too many roars and curses, but only extremely suppressed despair.
"In ancient times, we fought against the odds, but now we have to fight against the odds. Brothers, if you want to survive, just risk your life and fight."
At this point, Meng Tian took a deep breath, then swung his spear forward and roared: "Kill."
"kill……"
Everyone roared hysterically, turned their backs to the wall of fire behind them, and took the initiative to attack the cavalry charging forward.
It is recorded in the history of Qin in later generations: At the beginning of Taizu's founding, the Yuan and Meng soldiers invaded our border. General Meng Tian (Meng Tian) retreated to cover the main army. He led eight thousand dead men to cut off the rear, and finally defeated Yuan and Meng's 20,000 fine cavalry. And directly annihilated more than 8,000 enemies.
In this battle, Meng Tian killed more than ten enemy generals in succession, and killed Yuan Meng general Meng Liyuan. Yuan Meng general Wokuotai was afraid of Meng Tian's power, so although he led more than 10,000 remaining troops to retreat, the main force of the Jin army was preserved.
