Of course, the arrow was not intended by the officer. If so, the officer's archery might be regarded as the best marksman in the world. The officer's arrow was intended to serve as a sign. After his arrow was fired, hundreds of rockets from the cliffs on both sides seemed to be raining, pouring out towards the south gate below.
At the bottom of the city, the second prince and his party were still frightened by the unfortunate veteran, but they found that there were many rockets pouring down from above. The second prince immediately had an ominous premonition, even when he ran to the gate with all the people. Sure enough, the second prince and several soldiers had just passed through the gate when they heard a "boom" behind them.
The second prince turned his head subconsciously and saw behind them a row of fire walls suddenly appeared, which blocked the army's follow-up behind them. At this time, the second prince has gradually recovered his usual state of mind, much more calm than just flustered.
What's more, he has now escaped from that infernal performance of Tiancheng, and began to think about the road behind. This calculation of their own, needless to say, must be the army of the post Qin state. Since the other party has already buried the whole Yantian city as a companion, it must want to include the whole Dachang army. Therefore, even if he can escape from the fire attack of Yan Tiancheng, he will not meet the other party's pursuers on the road, so the army behind him can never be easily abandoned.
The second prince, who had made up his mind, immediately turned his horse's head and said to the soldiers behind him: "go back! go back! We must not leave them alone However, those soldiers did not know what the second prince thought. They thought that the second prince valued love and righteousness, and refused to leave their subordinates to escape alone. However, they admired the second prince. See the second prince such a distinguished person dare to risk, they these bloody men will not lag behind people, one by one follow the second prince to turn around.
Turning back to the city gate, the second prince found that the wall of fire that blocked the escape of Dachang army was a row of flames from the ground. If you look at it carefully, it turns out that a layer of hay has been laid under the ground. It seems that even the hay can not burn so fast. It seems that the hay is also drenched with inflammable substances such as kerosene, and there is no exception that a layer of kerosene is coated on the wall. When I went to the city before, because of the sky, no one noticed the abnormality at the foot. Now it seems that the other party has designed all these things.
"Whose voice is louder! Shout inside, and let them come straight in like this After seeing it clearly, the second prince immediately knew that the fire wall seemed to be very fierce. In fact, it was just burning now. As long as the head was closed, most of the people could still rush out. But the fire was so frightening that it scared the tens of thousands of people out of their way. And if we continue to delay, even if the people inside want to rush out, they can't do it.
As soon as those soldiers heard the second prince's order, they were shouting at the inside: "come out! Come out and you can escape! Come out like this Although the city was already full of screams at this time, the cry of these soldiers still reached the ears of those Dachang soldiers on the other side of the fire wall. Those Dachang officers and men had seen that the road ahead had been blocked by the fire wall, and they all looked with despair at the growing fire in those residential buildings behind. Hearing the voice of the other side, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, though he hesitated to say that he could escape if he rushed out. But now, in this case, there is only one way to die if we continue to stay. We all bite each other and start to rush towards the gate.
The first few soldiers who attacked were unlucky. They directly ignited the fire. Although they successfully broke through the wall of fire, in a flash, they were covered with fire and kept rolling on the ground. Seeing this situation, even the soldiers around the second prince could not help but stop shouting and looked at the second prince strangely. The meaning was obvious. Obviously, what the second prince just said was not the same as the fact. But the second prince did not pay attention to the faces of the soldiers. Seeing that they all stopped shouting, he quickly called out: "look! All the brothers in front are here! Why don't you come here! It will be too late! "
Previously, the soldiers were still rolling on the ground, but their cries of pain were drowned by the cry of the second prince and the noise around them. Therefore, the soldiers on the other side of the fire wall did not realize the lie of the second prince. The second prince said that the people in front of him had already rushed safely. With a successful example, those officers and men had no more scruples and began to rush out towards the gate of the city.
As just as before, the front of the impact of several soldiers were ignited by the fire, their body armor, one by one became a fireman. However, with more than ten people in front of them to pave the way, the fire wall of the city gate was gradually broken open, and the officers and soldiers of Dachang in the back also rushed through the gate safely. Seeing that the officers and soldiers rushed out of the gate smoothly, the second prince did not dare to stay for a long time. He waved his hand to the soldiers who had just escaped from Shengtian and called out: "quick! Come on! Retreat
On the cliff, Kong Ling, who thought he could keep the team, had just gathered his smile, but it was frozen in an instant. Judging from the cliff, the team only stopped at the south gate, then went straight through the gate and fled towards the city. Although there were a lot of losses due to the previous interception, at least there were more than 20000 people.Kong Ling shook his head. It was because of a lot of luck that this plan could be completed. Now that so many enemies have been run away, it should be expected that there is no good or bad pity. Immediately, Kong Ling turned his head to the city again, listening to the faint cry and cry from below, his eyes also showed a little impatience. However, some of Kong Ling's only pity for the enemies who were going to die under his own stratagem. This was a turbulent time. Kong Ling had already prepared for this since the day when he decided to leave his hometown to join his uncle.
At this time, the officer who had yelled before looked at the team that had completely rushed out of the city and asked eagerly, "my Lord! Shall we let them go like this? Why don't we contact General Xiao and pursue the enemy? " No wonder the officer was in a hurry. Although he was able to destroy the Dachang reinforcements, he also burned down the fortress of Yantian city. There are still tens of thousands of enemy troops. If we just let them go back, I'm afraid that the other side will be able to stop the attack when the other side gets better.
Kong Ling shook his head and said, "don't worry about them! Even if they can escape back to Dachang, they will not be able to attack us any more! In this southern expedition, we, Hou Qin, have already declared victory in advance Kong Ling has calculated the result of this battle victory. The 100000 army of Dachang has become this way. Dachang's vitality has been hurt. It is impossible for that force to invade the post Qin state. Now all they have to do is to prepare to accept the cities occupied by Dachang.
Although the officer didn't understand what Kong Ling meant, he was still embarrassed to ask again. He only pretended to understand and nodded. Kong Ling didn't say anything. He just looked at him and gave a smile. Then he turned his head and looked at the far away group of deserters, but his mouth was slightly upturned. Do you want to escape back to Dachang? I'm afraid it's not so easy!
It is said that the second prince, with more than 20000 Dachang deserters, recognized the direction of the South and fled all the way. Soon, they came to the gorge where they had been blocked for more than an hour. Just as they were preparing to attack the Fjord, they heard a burst of drums. The front fjord suddenly lit up, but there was an extra team of people. The first one, wearing the black armor of the unification of the Qin State and holding a silver Zhangba long gun, was the pioneer General Li Yuanhe of the Southern expedition!
Li Yuanhe looked at the soldiers in front of him who were not well dressed in armour. Although he had more than 1000 men under his command, he was arrogant and fearless. After him, Cheng Hu came forward to remind Li Yuanhe: "general! The other side is more than us, we should take the initiative to attack! If we wait for the other side to stand firm, then we will not be their opponents! "
After hearing this, Li Yuanhe laughed, shook his head and said, "if our opponent is under normal circumstances, then we should take the initiative to attack as you said! But look! These people are dishevelled in their clothes and armour. They are in a state of panic. They have no fighting spirit at all! In the face of such a team, what we have to do is to completely destroy their morale! If the army has no morale, its army will disperse! "
"The general is wise!" After listening to Li Yuanhe's explanation, Cheng Hu sincerely admires the young general in front of him even though he is holding fists with admiration on his face.
Li Yuanhe was right. He had already fled all the way to here. However, he saw an ambush in front of him. All the officers and soldiers in Dachang felt a burst of despair. However, the second prince had already guessed that he would encounter an ambush, but he was still able to support it. When he saw that there were only a thousand people on the other side, he was relieved. Even when he was facing the soldiers behind him, he said, "warriors of Dachang! There are only a thousand people on the other side! There are more of us than they are. There is no need to be afraid! Let's go! Avenge the dead comrades in arms
These two princes really have some skills, and they are not as ignorant as he seems. After his encouragement, the officers and men of Dachang, who were already about to break up, finally gathered a little morale. But when it comes to rushing to kill the enemy, no one dares to rush out.
