Chapter 106 Breaking the Five Elements, Living and Die Together (Ten Five)
Large numbers of officers and soldiers in the earth camps and water camps that were hit by "rockets" fell down. However, at this time, the well-trained officers, soldiers and sergeants did not stop attacking. They all held long halberds in their hands and held their heads high. Arrows raining down from the sky rushed this way, and the wooden camp sergeants who rushed in front came very fast. Although they had wooden shields in front of them, those arrows pierced the wooden shields, and the arrows on the rain The fire then ignited the wooden shield, as if the rain of arrows were covered with kerosene, causing the place where it touched to burn immediately.
At this moment, the flying sand and rocks were getting bigger and bigger, and gradually surrounded the fighting battlefield like a curtain. Dark clouds of wind, sand and smoke were swirling around. Looking in from the outside, nothing could be seen. However, in But there was a cave inside. The two armies fought hard. This allowed Shi Jin and other five-yuan generals to use their force to concentrate their troops and horses to kill the remaining fire camps.
Many officers and soldiers in those wooden camps fell. Seeing that the black clouds over there were getting thicker and thicker, and the rockets flying in the sky were getting less and less, the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers and horses of the three battalions had eaten enough. Kutou, no one moved their bows and arrows again. However, one of the screams followed by a shrill cry was not blocked by the soaring and rapidly rotating smoke clouds. Instead, it became clearer to all the soldiers and horses of the three battalions.
Xie Qianqiu, who was sitting in the Jin camp at the moment, stood on a towering ladder, overlooking everything on the battlefield. As soon as he saw the formation, he knew that the other party was using magic, and he had heard about it, but This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. Faced with this spell, he was seeing the loss of troops and generals, but he was helpless. There was no way to break it. However, there was no way to break it, but Xie Qianqiu saw the purpose of this spell. Then The purpose of the shady smoke and gusts of wind is to separate the rescue troops from the fire camp, so that the fighting inside can be independent. In this way, the pressure of the Green Forest Army fighting inside can be relieved, and it can also Increase the Green Forest Army's chances of winning.
The killings just now were all caused by the rain of arrows, and now the rain of arrows flying in circles in the sky has almost been exhausted. The threat to these three camps has naturally weakened instantly. It can be said that there is no damage to the enemy all the way. Xie Qianqiu also immediately understood that this demonic method was actually just a blinding method and had no actual direct damage. Thinking of this, Xie Qianqiu raised his brows slightly, waved his command flag, and asked Muying to rush forward with his horse and penetrate the enemy. The black smoke cloud wall, the earth camp and the water camp can follow closely behind to rush in and kill the green forest army inside in one fell swoop.
However, just as the three battalions of soldiers and horses were rushing past, a sudden burst of arrows was like crows flying across the sky. Large swaths of arrows covered the sky and passed by, drawing an arc in the sky and flying towards the camp. The officers and soldiers saw it and were shocked. They didn't know whether to advance or retreat. But they knew that the next moment, the nightmare would happen again. However, this rain of arrows did not come from their camp. It was shot from the trench over there, and there, a group of Green Forest Army troops kept dividing waves and continuing the flow of arrows, continuously delivering a steady stream of bows and arrows to the sky above the battlefield.
The dense black arrow rain of migratory locusts slowly slowed down over the battlefield, and then, in the strong wind, the arrow rain began to spin clockwise in the direction of the wind, like a school of fish, getting faster and faster, each one The sharp arrows flashed with a chilling light, frightening the officers and soldiers of the third battalion who rushed nearby to turn blue in the face. They could still see the tragic scene of their comrades being hit by arrows, which made their hair stand on end.
Xie Qianqiu, who was far away in Jinying, also saw this scene. His tiger eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the thick curtain of black clouds in the sky. The luster shone, making Xie Qianqiu shudder.
However, at this moment, under the siege under the thick curtain of billowing dark clouds, all the soldiers in the fire camp were killed and injured. Now they are sitting in the final struggle. Seeing that the battle between the trapped beasts is over, they are facing the annihilation of the entire army.
Xie Qianqiu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his palms, breaking into the skin and flesh, dripping dazzling blood.
The fire camp is the first camp to bear the brunt of the Five Elements Formation, and it is also the face of this formation. Although the Five Elements Formation is "rised" by the water camp, it is "rising" by the fire camp. If the fire camp disappears, then the wooden camp will Assisting the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and the Tu camp, which relies on the wood camp's dangerous power to supplement the weak, will not be able to maximize its power, and then, the Jin camp's combat effectiveness will also be weakened... The consequences will be a An irreversible vicious cycle.
But... Xie Qianqiu gritted his teeth. In fact, at this point, is there still a choice? Can he still escape? Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. Now that Xie Jiajun has reached this day, his life and death depend on this one move, even if it is three years. If there are casualties among the soldiers and horses in the battalion, no battalion must be abandoned.
,,Brothers, the power of Xie Jiajun was earned by your life and death, and I, Xie Qianqiu, will never forget it.
Thinking of this, Xie Qianqiu resolutely rejected the withdrawal order flags handed to him from the left and right.
At this moment, the soldiers of the third battalion who were rushing in front were looking at the black arrow feathers in the sky, but none of them stopped. They knew clearly that the further they went forward, the more casualties they would get, and the next one might fall down and die. It was themselves who were at risk, but they did not stop, and continued to move towards the fighting camp step by step to rescue them.
Wu Yong, who was far away on the other side of the ditch, was watching from a distance the soldiers and horses of the three camps marching forward bravely without fear of life and death. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "This Xie Qianqiu is really amazing. He can train such advance and retreat." It is not easy to build a well-ranked army." Wu Yong paused at this point and said, "He Xie Qianqiu is not a general, but he is a handsome man. Although it is said that 'a thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find', but a handsome man is Talents are even more rare. Such Xie Jiajun is very rare. It's just a pity that he works hard for the court and doesn't understand current affairs. Alas, he is foolish and loyal, foolish and loyal,"
Di Yan, who was with Wu Yong, also looked at the dusty battlefield over there, and was moved by their courage to go to the tiger mountain despite knowing that there were tigers in the mountains. He couldn't help but sigh: "It would be a pity, if these people can defect to us." , that would be so happy, but it’s a pity that you will die under my rain of arrows,”
Just as Di Yan finished speaking, a pitiful scream came from the other side. The screams came over, making the Green Forest Army stationed on the trench unable to bear to hear them.
I saw the arrow rain falling rapidly over there, like a heavy rain falling from the sky, making people hide and hide, and the flames accompanying the falling arrows burned Xie Jiajun below even more. The place where the arrow was shot was stained with a sea of fire.
Most of the cavalrymen in the wooden camp were injured by the arrow rain. Even if they raised their wooden shields, it was still of no avail. Countless people were shot into hedgehogs, and patches of ground fire burned Xie Jiajun's legs and feet, but not one of them The people retreated, enduring the burns and severe pain at their feet, and rushed forward. No one escaped, and no one disrupted the formation. Only the horses riding in the wooden camp were frightened and ran wildly because they could not bear the burns, even though the horses on top While resisting the rain of arrows, the sergeant tried his best to rein in his horses. However, the overall formation still began to become loose, and the fear of death began to spread among the Xie family army. Looking at their comrades falling one after another, they became more and more confused. I feel more and more lonely.
However, they still would not stop without an order to retreat. In their minds, there was only one goal, which was to rush into the black cloud of flying sand and rocks, and the only hope in their hearts was that the fire camp could still hold on. Liveable.
"It's almost, it's almost... It's almost here, the rain of arrows will be exhausted, and it's time to fight back," Xie Qianqiu thought as he looked at the casualties among the soldiers and horses in the three camps. The fists were clenched even more tightly.
But just when Xie Qianqiu finished saying this, at the other end of the battlefield, Ruyun Long Gongsun Sheng on the altar was anxiously practicing. He waved the wooden sword in his hand and ran quickly along the altar. , muttering something in his mouth, he suddenly paused, pointed his arrow across the battlefield, and shouted loudly.
The Taoist boy who was guarding below immediately raised the apricot-yellow command flag in his hand. When Zhu Wu, who was guarding the ladder to pass the order, saw it, he also immediately raised the apricot-yellow command flag in his hand.
Wu Yong, who was guarding the edge of the trench, looked at it immediately and quickly informed Di Yan. He immediately ordered his brothers to suddenly draw their bows and set arrows, and shoot high into the sky with all their strength. Another arrow flew away like a bird. Yu, with the help of Gongsun Sheng Guangfeng, Di Yan and others who were originally out of range once again successfully sent the arrow feathers to the battle sky. But this time, it was not a single arrival, but a continuous round of shots, as if all The arrow feathers all built a flying bridge on the other side of the trench, leading straight to the sky where the battle took place. And there, at this moment, more and more arrow feathers were gathering, just like before, another wave was brewing. A cold and cruel death.
And all this fell on the Xie Jiajun who suffered heavy casualties, which was nothing short of adding insult to injury. Their number was getting smaller and smaller, and the number of soldiers and horses in the three camps dropped sharply from 6,000 to about 2,000. In such a disastrous situation, the Xie Jiajun Their footsteps became heavier and heavier, and they were fearless, but they did not dare to imagine how long the fire camp, which was surrounded by people at this moment, could hold on.
At this moment, Xie Qianqiu, who was far away in the Jin Camp, saw the continuous rain of arrows in the sky, and suddenly felt some imperceptible pain. He saw that the soldiers and horses he had carefully trained were destroyed like this. How could this make him Be ruthless.
Xie Jiajun lowered his head unwillingly and did not say a word, but his hand slowly moved over and held the retreating flag in his hand...
