The leader of the cavalry team, who was so aggressive just now, is sitting on the side by the window with his back to the window.
As soon as the cloud-piercing arrow came, it pierced his back with a muffled sound. When he was discovered, the team leader was still immersed in the excitement of a big gamble and was completely unaware of everything happening around him.
The anxious soldiers finally discovered the arrow cluster on the leader's body and couldn't help but scream.
“Team leader!”
“Team leader, you are injured!”
The cavalry leader turned back blankly: "What's the injury?"
“Who did you say was injured?”
“How could I be injured?”
When he spoke, his aura was still so arrogant. Everyone was surprised: What's going on, boss?
Are you stupid?
Can’t you feel the pain?
“Arrow!”
“Team leader, you have been hit by an arrow!”
"get shot?"
Until he heard this word, the team leader suddenly felt a sharp pain rushing from his vest to his chest, and blood also came through.
“Am I really... hit by an arrow?”
Before the team leader could finish his question, he vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.
No one could figure out what was going on, and countless arrow clusters flew over from outside the cabin.
"fire!"
“There are even rockets!”
The first few dozen arrows were just ordinary cloud-penetrating arrows. The soldiers of Di Qin were quite skillful. With their swords drawn out, they could resist for a while.
However, almost in the next moment, several rockets were mixed in between the ordinary cloud-penetrating arrows.
These rockets were already lit, but when they flew into the cabin, they quickly ignited the curtains, clothes, and even some of the soldiers' gambling equipment, apricot seeds!
Water and fire are merciless!
The prairie fire did not give the Di Qin soldiers any time to react. As long as the flames came into contact with anything, whether it was wood or window paper, as long as it could be ignited, they would all become their accomplices!
The fire spread instantly, and the huge and closed cabin of the large ship became a paradise of fire. Here and there, after a while, the cabin was filled with flames.
"quick!"
“Go and fetch water and put out the fire!”
The panicked soldiers saw the fire burning more and more fiercely, and finally came to their senses. The source of these rockets was actually the enemy!
However, who is the enemy?
Where does it come from?
There has been no sign of enemy activity near Xiangyang City recently, and there was no warning at the city gate.
Where did this arrow cluster come from?
You must know that the return area where they are stationed is already behind Xiangyang City. Even the people of Xiangyang City seldom set foot in it on weekdays. Who is this place? They can actually pass through the strict patrol posts at the city gate.
Pounce on the back of Xiangyang City!
No matter what, putting out the fire comes first.
Even when the soldiers were in a panic, the arrows still did not let go of them, and they were still falling in overwhelming numbers.
This cabin has a limited area to begin with, and the soldiers who came to join in the fun and participate in the gambling game have already blocked the place.
So, when those cloud-piercing arrows shot in through the cabin windows, they faced almost wall after wall of people.
These human walls were almost airtight and layered on top of each other. When the first batch of arrows shot in, the soldiers had no idea at all.
He directly became the target of arrow clusters. The enemy who had never shown up took away the lives of countless Di Qin soldiers with just the arrow clusters in the air.
Just a moment ago, they were alive, full of life, waiting to make a fortune at the gambling table.
But now, it has easily turned into corpses.
In the sea of fire, everyone went crazy.
Especially those arrogant cavalry. There are no horses here, so their superb riding skills have no place at all.
The sailors were the first to react. No matter what, they should put out the fire first.
The dead soldiers had been burned to charcoal in the raging fire, and the injured had to rely on themselves.
Those who can move should leave this dangerous place quickly; those who cannot move, no one has the power to save them.
It can only fend for itself and perish on its own.
Fetching water also requires some work. When the panicked soldiers thought about it, they discovered that this gorgeously decorated and imposing giant ship actually only had five wooden barrels!
How much water can be drawn?
Looking at it, the whole boat is about to burst into flames!
Why is there no movement in the city yet?
This place has been burnt to this state, and the smoke is billowing. Even if those people on the city gate tower are blind, they should smell it!
The sailors finally found a few capable guys, and their minds were in a mess, with such strange thoughts recurring.
They were already overwhelmed by the sudden attack and could not distinguish between right and wrong, let alone give a correct solution.
Where are the people in Xiangyang City?
What about the diligent patrolling soldiers on the city gate tower who work day and night?
Sorry, I’m still gambling like them.
They have not the slightest awareness of the enemy situation here and now.
………
“Jinnu, how do we attack it?”
“What to do first?”
Tan Pingzhi crawled forward, and soon he was shoulder to shoulder with Liu Yu.
Ever since he got rid of the three-edged spike array, the road ahead has been so smooth that he couldn't believe it.
Hundreds of people ran from the city gate tower to the back entrance for almost half a mile without encountering any obstacles in the way.
Along the way, not only were there not a single Di Qin soldier, not even ordinary Xiangyang urban and rural residents were seen.
Suddenly, Tan Pingzhi even suspected that they had gone to the legendary other world or encountered a ghost barrier.
After all, such a smooth and non-dangerous road cannot possibly come from outside the military town of Xiangyang!
However, when they changed postures again, from running to crawling, and carefully moving towards the goal, Tan Pingzhi discovered what a different world it was.
What the hell is blocking the wall? It’s nothing.
The land beneath their feet was the return area outside Xiangyang City, and the double-layered fence in front of them was the work of the Di Qin troops.
Tan Ping was confused for a while, what on earth is going on?
How can it be!
The dignified Qin town, the focus of competition between the north and the south, a first-class military town, and outside Xiangyang City along the Han River, there are actually only a few guards outside the city!
He couldn't help but look back at Police Shen: "Shen Canjun, didn't the news you received say that the defense here is quite tight?"
Look, being unprepared is reflected in almost every aspect.
For example, hundreds of them were lying outside the fence near the entrance, only half a mile away from where the boat docked.
They enemy soldiers can actually whisper here without any hindrance without worrying that anyone will find out.
What kind of state is this?
This is a state where divine soldiers descend from heaven and God helps me!
Lao Shen was in a dilemma. In fact, looking back on the news he received at the beginning, the fortune teller only said that there were many guards near Huikou during the day.
Quite a number of Di and Qin soldiers were practicing here. This time, Murong Chui seemed to attach great importance to water fighting.
Having been holding Xianbei soldiers for rigorous training.
“The fortune teller can only get close to this place during the day to investigate the situation, and he can’t get close when it’s dark.”
“Perhaps, the situation will be different after dark.” Lao Shen swallowed and looked at Tan Pingzhi with some embarrassment.
This sentence sounded like a lack of confidence, but the impatient Lao Tan was not angry.
