Chapter 476: Flanking Fire Attack
Chapter 476 Flank Fire Attack
Just as the defenders were helpless in the advancing of the battle elephants, a group of Zhou troops suddenly rushed out of the forest west of the hillside.
These Zhou soldiers were holding shields in one hand and a pottery jar in the other.
They came suddenly and at a fast speed. Before the Xifan army could react, people had already rushed to a place less than twenty steps away from the group of elephant soldiers.
The Xifan soldiers on the battlefield elephant came to their senses and roared one after another. In an instant, arrows flew towards the Zhou army one after another.
The Zhou army was prepared for a long time, and people raised shields and blocked arrows.
They continued to sprint forward as they were about to rush toward the war elephant, and people flew out the pottery jars in their hands.
Crazy-
The pottery jars fell to the ground and broke one after another. The tincture oil contained inside immediately spilled out, forming a layer of black and dirty mucus on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a torch was thrown over and landed on the turmeric oil on the ground.
Just as I heard a cry, the turbulent oil burned and the fire spread rapidly on the hillside.
Many war elephants were also affected by tinder oil, and fire ignited under their feet.
The war elephants roared and were no longer controlled by the Xifan soldiers in the car. They turned around and walked down the mountain.
Many war elephants were covered with tinea oil. They were walking while rubbing against the flames on the soles of their feet.
Seeing that his own war elephant was about to attack the fortress on the top of the mountain, at this time, a small number of Zhou army came out from the side and forced the war elephant to retreat with fire.
Radpur was furious and his eyes were red.
The Zhou army that suddenly appeared did not fight with the Xifan army at all.
They rushed out of the forest, threw the pot full of tincture oil, and immediately ran back into the forest.
Radpur pointed at the forest on the west side and shouted: "Catch all the damn Zhou troops for me!"
Under the order of Radpur, a Xifan army rushed towards the woodland immediately.
They had just arrived at the edge of the woodland, and suddenly, the sound of crossbow strings popping in the forest was connected, and countless crossbow arrows flew out of the forest.
The soldiers in the front row of the Xifan Army were unprepared and shot directly by crossbow arrows flying out of the forest.
People screamed and fell to the ground.
The Xifan army behind hurriedly pressed the shield and pushed forward carefully.
Shortly after entering the forest, pottery jars flew out of the forest. The pottery jars either fell to the ground or hit the trunk of the tree, breaking one after another, and the unpleasant smell of tincture oil also drifted away.
Seeing this, the Xifan Army was shocked and dared not continue to advance. They turned around and ran out.
But it's too late.
The turbid oil was ignited instantly, and the fire spread out at the edge of the forest. Hundreds of Xifan troops were swallowed by the flames at once.
For a moment, people's heart-wrenching screams were connected.
Radpur, who was watching from the bottom of the mountain, took a deep breath.
Soon, the group of Zhou troops emerged from the southern end of the woods, watched for a while from the main force of the Xifan Army, and then fled deep into Huaishan Mountain.
Radpur hated the Zhou army so much that he was willing to let them go. He immediately sent a cavalry of two thousand cavalry to chase them.
The number of opponents seems to be less than 2,000. The two thousand cavalrymen on his side should be able to eliminate them with ease, and it is easy to defeat them.
But when the cavalry was about to catch up with them, the Zhou army threw out the pottery jar again. The target of the pottery jar was not to smash people, but to fall directly to the ground, and then the Zhou army ignited the tincture oil on the ground.
Suddenly, a fire wall formed on the ground.
The horses galloped down one after another, stood in front of the fire wall, neighing, and did not dare to move forward at all.
This group of Zhou army successfully used firewall to block the cavalry of the Xifan people's charge. Taking advantage of the chaos of the opponent's formation, the Zhou army soldiers actually rushed out of the firewall.
People's hair and eyebrows were burned by flames, and many of them were lit up in their armor, but they seemed to have no feeling.
In the eyes of the people of the Espanyol, a large group of people suddenly rushed out of the fire wall.
These fire men all rushed to the front of the Xifan cavalry with their swords in their hands, and stabbed them with their swords without saying a word.
The Mo knife is long and sharp, and its length is about the same as a spear.
The sharp edge first penetrated the neck of the war horse and passed through the body. Then the castrate continued to stop, and then penetrated deeply into the chest and abdomen of the horse cavalry.
In an instant, the screams of people and the neighing of war horses were connected together.
Seeing this, the Espan cavalry behind hurriedly rushed forward.
When the firemen faced the cavalry, they did not retreat or give in, and tried their best to slash them with all their might.
Click!
As the Mo Dao cut off, the thick neck of the war horse broke down, and the people and horses rolled to the ground.
Before the Espanyol cavalry could get up from the ground, the Modao, who came up on his back, slashed it into two pieces.
There is a history book that says: Dance a giant sword (mo sword), killing several people with one stroke, without any hard opponents in front of you, as if you encounter an enemy cavalry, your people and horses will be broken!
This is the power of Modao!
After the Zhou army successfully blocked the cavalry's charge with the firewall, they immediately launched a close-knit battle with the cavalry.
During the battle, these Zhou troops faced the Xifan cavalry, which was like cutting melons and vegetables.
Radpur, who was watching the game behind, was shocked.
He never expected that this small group of Zhou army would have such strong combat power, and the strange weapons they used were extremely fierce.
In the era of cold weapons, Modao can definitely be called a king-level weapon.
The reason why it cannot be popularized and even gradually declines until it disappears is ultimately because the user requirements are too high.
The Mo Dao is one meter long and weighs fifty kilograms. Ordinary people can't swing it at all. If they force it to swing it a few times, they will almost exhaust their strength.
When the two armies fight, they usually last for a long time, and Modao is of course not used by most soldiers.
The Zhou army is not ordinary soldiers, but elite soldiers composed of flying guards and iron guards.
They have excellent internal strength cultivation, and they can be said to be able to use the Modao.
The 50-pound Mo Knife was swung by them, and they slashed it with one sword. Not to mention that the enemy could not block it with ordinary weapons, even if they block it with shields, people would be smashed to the ground.
The two thousand Xifan cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the counterattack of the Zhou army.
In just a blink of an eye, more than a hundred cavalry, men and horses fell into a pool of blood.
Radpur looked at the battle elephants retreating from the hillside, waved his hand and sent the battle elephants to the battlefield.
No matter how fierce this Zhou army is, can it be more fierce than the war elephant?
No matter how powerful their weapons are, they can kill and injure war horses, but can they kill and injure war elephants?
Radpur didn't have time to get involved with this Zhou army, so he directly released a killing weapon to let the war elephant defeat the enemy.
More than 300 war elephants headed straight for the Zhou army. When they came over, the war elephants rolled up large stones on the ground with their noses and threw them towards the flames on the ground.
Under the constant blows of stones, the flames on the ground gradually faded, and the battle elephant herd headed straight for the Zhou army.
This Zhou army knew the power of the war elephant, so they were not at all against it, so they turned around and ran away.
After running for a distance, they came to a mountain wall, and people carried the Mo Dao and climbed up with their hands and feet.
