The teeth-grinding sounds kept ringing, but there was no sign of the castle gate opening.
The winch is broken?
Song Chang was thinking about it when suddenly his eyes flashed...
The bright light that came from nowhere shone on the ice wall and reflected back, dazzling his eyes.
Why is it so bright all of a sudden?
Song Chang subconsciously raised his head and looked towards Wubao.
Somehow, dozens of torches suddenly lit up on the wall...
No, there are dozens of people standing behind the torches, holding what looks like bows... The archer has put the arrow on the bow and is lighting the torch with the torch...
Fell into a trap?
Song Chang's face turned pale, as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and his head was buzzing.
Before he could react, he heard Monk Yinguang roar: "Back... back..."
I’m afraid it’s too late to retreat now!
Li Song sneered and waved his hand fiercely: "Let go!"
What the archer shot was not people, but the more than thirty carriages.
The top of the carriage is a layer of straw mats, and there are several sacks stacked on the side to hide people's eyes. They are full of hay, and there are people hiding in the middle.
The rockets wrapped in linen and soaked in grease fell on the carriage like rain. Many arrows penetrated the straw mat and hit people. A scream of pain immediately came from the carriage.
Immediately, the rocket attracted the straw mat and sack, and they suddenly caught fire.
The people inside could not hide. Those who were not hit by arrows or missed their vital points were all like cats whose tails were stepped on, jumping out of the carriage in panic.
As a result, as soon as I jumped off the carriage, there was a second round of arrow rain.
Many horses were also hit by arrows, but the carriages followed each other closely, unable to move forward at all, and could only rush towards the ice beaches on the left and right sides.
As soon as they stepped onto the ice beach, four hooves slipped and the horses fell down, and several of them turned sideways.
The person who didn't jump out of the car in time was thrown seven or eight meters away and fell heavily onto the ice beach. Just as he screamed, the third round of arrows came again...
Fortunately, he missed the arrow and struggled to get up. Before he could take two steps forward, his feet slipped again and he fell down.
The nearly 100 archers who were originally standing close together, specializing in shooting carriages, slowly dispersed along the city wall as the enemies rushed around.
Behind each archer are two old men or women, one holding an arrow and the other holding a torch.
While moving, the archer shoots down in an orderly manner.
The fourth round, the fifth round, the sixth round...
In a short time, a short section of the city wall turned into a purgatory, with swaying fire, people howling, and horses neighing...
The whole process from the lighting of torches on the wall to the scene of howling ghosts and people falling on their backs took less than three minutes, and most of the thieves lost their lives before they could even react.
Monk Yinguang was cautious and hid at the back. When he saw the sudden light of the torch on the wall, he was also the fastest to react.
At this time, he had turned his horse's head and ran to the river more than twenty feet away. He was shouting with all his strength: "Don't run, get a weapon, a bow and arrow, and shoot back..."
But except for a few monks who quickly snatched a few bows and guns from the car, most of the remaining people had only one thought in their minds: escape.
The four hundred thieves were like headless flies, bumping around, falling, getting up, falling again, getting up again...
In panic, some people even got under the carriage.
Li Chengzhi almost couldn't help but remind him: Brother, the car is on fire...
The rockets stuck on the ground and the burning carriage illuminated the wall as if it were daytime, and the light was extremely vivid.
He has no time to think about how this scene happened, and he has no time to delve into why this battle is completely different from what he imagined?
He couldn't even figure out why more than 400 of his men, who were shouting murderously and setting fire before setting off, and who wanted to eat meat, drink wine and sleep with women after taking Lijia Fort, were like pigs and sheep, being slaughtered at this time.
With...
Infinite fear flooded into his mind, Yin Guang's whole body trembled, and he was almost unsteady on his horse.
No, I haven't lost yet. As long as the men who didn't hit the arrows can run out, I may not have a chance to counterattack...
The Li family knows how to use rockets, but can’t I?
He had heard clearly before that the door opening of Wubao was not filled in. As long as the door was opened, he could rush in...
Yin Guang gritted his teeth hard, tried hard to get rid of the fear in his heart, and made the last struggle: "Don't go to the ice beach... retreat, retreat along the straight road, retreat out of the range..."
But unfortunately, among the screams of hundreds of people, his shouts were no different from the screams of mosquitoes...
Everyone is shouting, everyone is shouting, they just want to stay as far away from the torches on the wall as possible.
But the more anxious you are, the less stable you will be, and the more you will fall...
In the eyes of the archers on the wall, these thieves under the wall are like living targets...
It’s over!
This is the only thought left in Yin Guang's heart.
If the shooting continues like this, the Li family's strong men will be able to kill all four hundred of his men without even leaving the fort...
If you don’t run now, when will you wait?
I still have 700 monks, plus 300 villagers from the Song family, there are still thousands of people, so I may not have no chance of making a comeback...
As soon as the idea of escape came up, it filled my heart like crazy weeds.
Yin Guang pulled the reins and used the back of his knife to lash the horse's butt hard...
As soon as the horse started running, it only ran three or four feet, when Yin Guang suddenly heard a strange sound.
"哐哐哐哐..."
The sound was neat and powerful, as if there were more than ten people banging on the table at the same time.
Following the sound, he looked up and was so frightened that half of his soul flew away.
A dark group of people lined up in neat formations, pushing in from west to east.
The spears are like a forest, and the spear points and the armor on the old soldiers in the front row reflect a frightening cold light under the moonlight.
Except for walking, these people made no unnecessary movements or noises. They were like a wall, pushing forward indomitably.
There were not many people, more than a hundred at most, but with just over a hundred people lined up in three rows, the more than ten feet of open space between the ice beach and the river bank was completely blocked.
There is a gap, and it is quite wide. It is an ice beach nearly ten feet wide under the village wall.
But there are already archers who have moved to this position. If you want to rush from there, you must at least calculate first. How many arrows can you hold on to?
Whether riding a horse or on foot, Yin Guang has already seen the consequences of walking on this ice beach.
There is another road, the Jinghe River in the north...
Putting aside the fact that he was wearing armor and whether he would sink to the bottom if he jumped, the weather alone wiped out the last glimmer of hope in Yin Guang's heart.
Even if you can't drown, you will freeze to death.
We can only escape eastward...
Yin Guang pulled the reins of his horse and prepared to turn around.
But when he turned around and saw the same black wall coming from the east, he suddenly felt desperate.
