In the military camp stationed next to the city gate, Wu Hu, who was drunk until midnight, was awakened by the huge movement. He felt dizzy and all his orifices seemed to be bleeding.
But he couldn't care about that at the moment and was about to put on his armor immediately.
At this moment, although he still didn't know what happened, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, because of the exchange with Wu Zu during the day, he planned to make a show of it and temporarily moved into the military camp.
Otherwise, if such a sudden change occurs and he is not in the camp, it will be difficult to explain the follow-up.
However, he had not completely sobered up, and the huge explosion at close range gave him some concussion. At this moment, he was walking crookedly, and it was even more difficult to reach A. He tried several times in succession, but failed. Unable to succeed, he drank violently and summoned guards to help him put on his armor.
At this moment, the entire Wucheng garrison was in complete chaos.
"Come here, organize the army!"
Wu Hu did not dare to neglect and gave the order immediately.
At the same time, with the vanguard army led by Lin Yi clearing the way, all five thousand Yingtian troops had entered the city and headed straight for the military camp.
"Come here, the Shenji Camp is ready, shoot!"
Following Zhao Cheng's order, more than two thousand Yingtian troops carrying huge boxes immediately squatted on the ground and pointed the boxes on their backs at a 45-degree angle at the military camp in the city.
This big box is none other than the crossbow that Zhao Cheng started making a long time ago!
More than two thousand arrows were shot out at the same time, which can be described as overwhelming, but this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the feathers of these arrows are also tied with explosives. As long as the impact is strong enough, the explosives will detonate.
Boom!
Along with the continuous roar, the Wucheng military camp was immediately transformed into a sea of fire, with explosions and wailing sounds.
And this is not over yet. After one round of shooting, there is another round. The arrow box made by Zhao Cheng is limited by the materials and is almost a disposable item. It is damaged after use, but every arrow box is It is possible to shoot five consecutive arrows, but there are only a few arrow boxes. When the fifth arrow is shot, the spring is stuck and the arrow cannot be fired successfully.
Zhao Cheng's box-type repeating crossbow is indeed exquisitely designed, but given the conditions in the mountains, it is already very powerful to achieve this level.
The nearly 10,000 arrow feathers were of course completely inaccurate, and because they were tied with gunpowder, their range was greatly reduced. But with such a large number, the consequences of a continuous explosion would be horrific.
After five consecutive rounds of shooting, all the Yingtian troops shouted in harmony towards the sea of fire: "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand, obey the orders of the sky, and the world returns to Zhao!"
"General Yingtian is here. Anyone who surrenders will not be killed!"
This move was to destroy the determination of the survivors in the military camp to fight to the death.
This sea of fire looks terrifying, but unless it is blasted from the front, most of them are just burns, and they will not die. Of course, in this era, burns are difficult to treat, and the follow-up will probably be death, but before death, If he resists desperately, he can deal with the heavenly army and cause a lot of damage.
Zhao Cheng's current army seems to have 5,000 men, but those who used arrow boxes before were all mountain people in the mountains. These soldiers and horses are still a lot less powerful for hand-to-hand combat. His hands In fact, the only ones with strong combat effectiveness are the more than 2,000 veterans standing at the front.
In the military camp, at this moment, many wounded soldiers, hearing this voice, hurriedly fled in the opposite direction.
First the sky thunder exploded, and then the sea of fire exploded, which had broken down these people's defenses, and the call of the heavenly army became the last straw to overwhelm these people.
Zhao Cheng's troops also deliberately left a large gap to allow these people to escape.
Burns will continue to get worse. If these soldiers escape now, it will not be easy to gather them later.
In the camp, Wu Hu was also in a very embarrassed state at the moment. The series of explosions also injured him, and the collapse of his troops made him know that something was not good.
And he did not hesitate. In the chaos of the war, he directly snatched a horse and ran towards the gap.
However, although Ying Tian's army left a gap, Lin Yi had already brought hundreds of troops to monitor this area. The order he received was to let the soldiers go and intercept and kill the general.
As for who is a general, the clothes are naturally different from those of ordinary soldiers.
The incident happened so suddenly that if those officers and generals escaped, they would definitely not have time to change their robes.
"kill!"
Seeing Wu Hu riding out, Lin Yi immediately called for peace.
Immediately, the archers who had already ambushed him shot down one after another, directly injuring Wu Hu's horse below.
The horse was frightened, and Wu Hu was almost thrown off his horse, but he still managed to stabilize himself. However, at this moment, several large nets came under the cover, making it difficult for Wu Hu to move anymore.
If he wasn't injured or drunk, with his martial arts skills, these nets wouldn't really be able to do anything to him.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wu Hu was tied up and escorted to Zhao Cheng.
"I heard that Wu Qi has a fierce general named Wu Hu. I think that person is you."
"He's just drunk in the army, and he doesn't have the slightest air of a general."
"Wu Hu, do you know who I am?!"
Zhao Cheng was dressed in military uniform and looked at the defeated generals in front of him.
"Although I have never seen you, I think you are the Zhao thief. Hmph, you are just a thief. You can kill or behead him as you please!"
Wu Hu snorted coldly, extremely stubborn.
"Well!"
"Come here, push him down and kill him!"
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he immediately waved his hand.
As soon as he said this, Wu Hu panicked. According to his understanding, since Zhao Cheng captured him alive, he wanted to subdue him.
There are many such things in romance stories.
Apart from drinking, his favorite thing on weekdays is listening to books.
According to his understanding, any hero would despise the kind of weakling who bows to him at the slightest sign of his head. And this kind of hero is the most thirsty for talents and will not easily kill useful people.
Therefore, he planned to be reserved and tough, and it was best to show his loyalty. In the end, he was moved as a last resort and had to join Zhao Cheng's army.
In this way, both face and content are saved.
But what is happening now? !
Why do you want to kill him if you don't agree with him? !
Therefore, Wu Hu hurriedly said: "General, spare your life. Wu Hu has long known the reputation of the general, but he has never had a chance to meet him. Wu Hu is willing to surrender!"
"etc!"
Zhao Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
But he had known that Wu Hu seemed to be loyal and loyal, but in fact, he was born as a slave. How could he really have the same character as he appeared? !
Wu Hu just feels that loyalty is useful to him, so he behaves like this. If he feels that loyalty is no longer useful, he can betray him immediately.
Of course, this is not safe.
Two hours later, Wu Hu killed Wu Zu in front of many people.
But Wu Zu never figured out how Wucheng was broken until his death.
A few days later, the news that Wucheng was captured by General Ying Tian gradually spread, and the whole country was in an uproar.
In Shanglin County, Wu Qi immediately vomited blood when he heard the news.
