Xiang Jing let out a tiger roar, swung his arm, and two large pieces of shoulder armor and arm armor fell down. He spit on his hand, rubbed his hands heavily, and picked up a wine jar from behind. He strode forward and grabbed the bent throwing rod on a cart in front of him. He pressed the head of the throwing rod with one hand and put the wine jar in with the other hand. Then, together with the other three strong men, he Press the tip of the golf club as low as possible.
The sound of "squeaking" echoed in front of the battle line. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the big hands of Xiang Jing and others. These strong men who could lift the cauldron had muscles on their arms. The bulge was high, and the blue veins were bulging on the neck. With Xiang Jing's roar, the four people let go at the same time, and the throwing pole that was pressed to the lowest suddenly flicked, and the ten sergeants who were closely following the car were thrown away by this. The elastic force shook the tiger's body upwards. It was not until Xiang Jing and the other four people who had released the throwing rod also pressed down on the car body violently that it stabilized.
The big wine jar in the sky was like a huge boulder thrown by a catapult, drawing a high arc across the sky, and under the gaze of thousands of people, it hit 220 steps away. , a knife cart that was moving forward hit the front plate of the knife cart without any bias, and it suddenly shattered into pieces, while a burst of juice splashed everywhere, and yellow mist rose everywhere. The Chu soldiers behind the car also coughed violently. The car, as well as the two surrounding cars, stagnated slightly at the same time.
He Wuji's brows widened and he said with a smile: "Jinu, you are using Yanghe wine with sulfur and saltpeter. Do you want to invite the Chu army brothers to drink?"
Liu Yi also laughed: "Then I have to start a fire and treat them to a barbecue dinner, right?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Then what are you waiting for? There will be good wine when the guests come. We have to serve some good wine and food to Jingchu friends first. Let them feel the enthusiasm of the Jingba people that we want to die for!" "
He Wuji laughed and picked up a sulfur and saltpeter Yanghe wine jar from the ground behind him. He stepped forward and placed it in the throwing pole nest carried on a cart. Several guards around him followed closely and held down the wine jar. He grabbed the throwing pole, and more than a dozen sergeants were holding down the cart. When He Wuji and others let go, another large wine jar flew out of the air and hit the front. This time, it hit the cart. Among the crowd marching behind the sword cart, several Chu soldiers who were still moving forward screamed and fell down.
Following He Wuji's movements, the throwing poles on more than twenty carts began to rise and fall one after another. The big purple bamboo bent down again and again to load the wine jar, and then, amid the shouts and chants of the people, the wine jar was It pops up hard, and each bend will make the distance of the next throw more than ten steps closer than the last time. After all, this loss of elasticity is irrecoverable, but it is exactly the same as the opponent's marching speed. It itself Due to the different elasticity of the bamboo, the launch distance of this kind of throwing pole also varies greatly. Some can throw it 250 steps away in the first time and directly hit the infantry square behind the opponent's sword cart. Some It was only a hundred, sixty or seventy steps away, and it didn't even touch the edge of the opponent's cart. It fell directly twenty or thirty steps ahead, shattering all over the ground.
However, after these three or four rounds of operations, the entire area within a hundred steps was filled with the smell of sulfur and saltpeter. With the east wind on the battlefield, almost the entire phalanx of the Chu army's front army, as well as the more than thirty swordsmen, The carriages were all shrouded in a yellow mist. Coupled with the strong smell of Yanghe wine, it could almost be said that there was a rain of sulfur wine, drenching more than a thousand Chu troops. However, Instead, many sergeants stuck out their tongues to add to the drops of wine that hit their faces and stuck to their beards and lips. After all, even though it was mixed with sulfur, it was still Yanghe wine. After a day of running around, they raised their glasses again. Duan Mao couldn't drink water, but if he could take a few sips at this time, it felt really good.
However, the cart was not damaged. Although the wine jars flew more than a hundred steps, they shattered when they hit the ground, causing no major damage. The carts that were stuck behind them were gone in the blink of an eye. Even those who were hit by the smash, except for some with broken heads and bloody heads, mostly fell to the ground and got up immediately. Some people even took the opportunity to grab a few pieces of wine on the ground with these broken tiles to drink, and then With a shout of good wine, he jumped up and moved on.
On top of the sword cart, several military officers holding big bows laughed wildly, waved their bows and arrows, and shouted: "Brothers Jingba, thank you for the wine. When I take your heads to mark the merits later, give us some more." Our Chu army has collected this wine! Hahahaha!"
But while the smiles of these military academies were still on their faces, they suddenly froze, because they suddenly felt a heat wave. When they entered within a hundred steps of each other, through the yellow mist, this heat wave hit their faces. Coming, I don’t know when, these pole-throwing carts have stopped firing. In front of the carts, there are more than a hundred strong men holding bows and arrows. Headed by Liu Yu, each of them is holding more than five stones, which is as tall as a person. He raised his strong bow and pointed the arrow diagonally towards the sky. The arrowhead was coated with tung oil, and the arrow body was wrapped with sulfur and saltpeter and other combustion-supporting packages. Following Liu Yu's order: "Jingba is here!" The Yuzhi rockets soared into the sky, crossing parabolic arcs, like hundreds of bolides, heading straight for the cart that was still moving forward.
Qiao Sensheng's eyes widened and he shouted: "No, it's a fire attack. Quick, retreat!"
But his order was already too late. When he just said the word "withdraw", the rockets from the opposite side had already hit the knife cart in front. Suddenly, flames rose into the sky, and more than thirty knife carts were bundled together. , there was almost no cart that was not stained with sulfur and wine rain, and even many carts were covered with rawhide, they could not stop the burning of the flames. Soon, more than a hundred sergeants pushing carts behind, as well as those standing on The three to four hundred archers on the car turned into hundreds of moving fireballs, and the entire area within a hundred steps was a sea of fire and purgatory.
Liu Yu and others smiled and took off their armor. Dozens of barrels of fire-proof oil used in Juzhang had been placed in the same places as the carts. More than 300 warriors on the front line took off their armor and put them on their bodies. After smearing the fireproof oil and soaking the weapons in his hands in the oil, Liu Yu smeared the oil and said sternly: "All the troops obey the order, the front troops smear the oil and attack at the fastest speed. Eliminate the leading troops of the Chu army, chase the remnants of the enemy on the front line, and counterattack the infantry phalanx behind them. No need for bows or crossbows, no stalemate, and the fastest speed to deal with the enemy's front troops. Within half an hour, I want to see To Wu Fuzhi’s central army!”
