Fellow Daoist Sangkun sneered: "It's not because Zhuge Feilong is incompetent. In order to grab credit, he puts himself at the front and personally operates a wooden armor machine to fight. I saw that when he was fighting in the front army, why did he You've been hiding in the back, in that wooden armored machine command car?"
Taoist Songfeng curled his lips: "Junior Brother Sangkun is right. Zhuge Feilong really thought that the Jin army had no power to counterattack, so he wanted to be at the front, but unexpectedly someone rushed out and hit the wooden armor with a crossbow. The mechanism man's lower body was tripped by the rope, and it was time and fate."
Daoist brother Da Niu shook his head: "With the Jin army's current desperate attack style, he can't deal with it even if he shrinks back. Now the front is in chaos, and the Qiang Di spearmen can't stop the Jin army at all." The impact of the wooden armor machine could not protect the wooden armor machine man, and the Jin army rushed out to greet the wooden armor machine man's lower body. He could pull it down with one pull, which in turn would hit the crossbowmen and spearmen behind. Matsukaze Senior brother, there is already a tendency of collapse, and I am afraid that Guo Zihe will not be able to stop the defeat this time. It is better to withdraw as soon as possible and reorganize the team to attack."
Taoist Songfeng gritted his teeth: "Withdraw? If we withdraw now, the formation in front cannot temporarily withstand it, and it will become a complete rout. All our previous efforts will be in vain. The army will be defeated like a mountain. Not only the troops in front will be defeated." It is very likely that the troops will not be able to withdraw, and our current troops in the rear may be scattered."
Fellow Taoist Sangkun nodded: "Senior Brother Songfeng is right. When we were in the front army, we also encountered such a scene. When the front line suffered heavy casualties and a sudden attack, it couldn't hold back and the whole line collapsed. The array behind them was scattered. Therefore, we cannot order troops to withdraw at this time. The best result of withdrawing troops is to send away all the wooden armored mechs. The worst and most likely result is that the entire army collapses and the entire army must withdraw. Battalion, thousands of men and horses will be lost, and the plan to capture the Jin army’s rear army before dark is impossible to realize.”
Daoist brother Da Niu gritted his teeth: "Then beat the drum and give Guo Zihe a strict order to supervise the battle, just like he did when he killed Qi Baili just now. He will advance without retreating. Our soldiers and horses will also press forward to supervise Guo Zihe's battle." The Chu army also ordered thousands of miles of cavalry to break through the fence and attack the rear of the Jin army, or pull them back and attack the two wings of the Jin army from the sides of the fence, and wipe out the troops they rushed out!"
Fellow Taoist Sangkun shook his head: "Absolutely not. There is smoke and dust in front of us now. The movement and smoke when the wooden armored machine man fell was too big, and the Jin army was also full of momentum when it came out to attack. If we let the cavalry come back to attack, They cannot see the situation clearly and will only get stuck in it. In fact, our frontline soldiers are already fighting with the Jin army. It may not be easy to retreat. It is also not easy to let them attack. There is a high probability that they will fight with us. The people were killed in a mass, if we lead the troops forward now, it is very likely that this will be the result, and in the end we will fight with Guo Zi and them."
Brother Da Niu was distraught and said bitterly: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what else can we do? Are we just here, watching the defeat?"
Fellow Taoist Sangkun looked at Taoist Songfeng, who had been silent all this time: "I think Senior Brother Songfeng should have had a plan for a long time."
Taoist Songfeng curled up his lips: "Junior brother Sangkun can see clearly. Yes, now if we want to make a comeback, there is only one way, which is to send out the Kongming Lantern. Then, without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, we will fire at the two armies in the smoke. attack."
Brother Da Niu's face changed drastically: "What, using Kongming lanterns to attack our own people? This, this is not worth it. The Jin army in front only has two or three thousand at most, but we have four or five thousand people to fight with them. If we are together, if a fire breaks out, then we will be sorry for Guo Zihe and those old Chu soldiers."
Fellow Daoist Sangkun said coldly: "We can't be kind to women on the battlefield. If we don't burn them, we will lose more than 3,000 people. If the Jin army's troops are retained, we will not be able to break through the Jin army's enemy." Now the whole body of the wooden armor machine man's wood is a good ignition material, and the two armies fighting together will also let the Jin army join in and perish together, then all the Jin army's rear army will It's over, even if we lose four to five thousand people, we still make some profit. At least, our current three thousand people are enough to occupy the remaining camps of the Jin army's rear army."
Daoist Brother Da Niu gritted his teeth: "But even if we can burn everything around here, it will be dark soon, and we can't continue the attack. We can only maintain the current front, and want to drive the Jin army back." The plan to counterattack the Chinese army cannot be realized. What's the point of occupying only an empty camp?"
Fellow Taoist Sangkun's eyes flashed coldly: "This is of great significance. If the fire reaches the sky, it can illuminate the first watch, which is not too dark, as if it were daytime. We should light up the lamp to fight at night. We don't have to stick to the daytime. In the war, the old routine of withdrawing troops and returning to camp has been fought all day today. The fighting was so fierce. Even if it gets dark, we will not withdraw our troops. We will definitely continue to light up the lights and attack until dawn tomorrow. We have many soldiers and can rotate. Yes. To withstand greater casualties, destroy the Jin army, and capture Liu Daogui alive is all in one fell swoop."
Daoist Brother Danniu stared at fellow Taoist Sangkun with his eyes wide open: "Here, Junior Brother Sangkun, you, how come I don't recognize you anymore? You used to be very timid and cautious. It’s not like you said harsh words.”
Fellow Taoist Sangkun smiled slightly: "Brother Daniu, this is the art of war. I have never commanded a battle before, or had the opportunity to suggest a battle, so it is useless to say it. I can only protect myself first, but now, I am desperate At that time, if we don't win this battle, we will all die, so I can only say this, Senior Brother Songfeng, I have finished what I should say, please make your decision."
Taoist Songfeng breathed a long sigh of relief: "This is the only way. Although they are all my subordinates, Junior Brother Sangkun said it right. If we don't win this battle, our lives will be lost. We still have to consider what the troops will do. Daoist Brother Da Niu, I’m going to trouble you this time. The task of boarding the Kongming Lantern, attacking from the air, and burning out a sea of fire is yours.”
Brother Da Niu gritted his teeth: "After throwing away the jars of kerosene and setting the fire in front, should I continue to move forward and lead my men to the rear of the enemy to hunt down Tan Daoji? You can't say that I have set the fire. After burning your own people, let’s just watch the show in the air.”
Taoist Songfeng nodded: "Of course, the flag of the Jin army's rear general is handed over to you!"
