Chapter 398: Burning the Heavy Armored Soldiers, Confident Shi Xie
At the exit of the canyon, Gu Rubing, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan lined up. Behind them were nearly a thousand cavalry, all of whom were selected from the green cavalry and were good at riding and shooting. , as well as a dozen nearby crossbow captains and hundreds of scouts, all rushed over.
Gu Rubing knew clearly in his heart that even if he did not go to fight Shi Xie, he could not leave Shi Xie to go to Jingzhou with all his troops and those poisonous poisons that he did not know where they came from. Otherwise, the battle situation they had worked so hard to create would be It will crumble inch by inch. When Jingzhou is destroyed, even if he can return to Qingzhou, then Gu Rubing will only be more constrained by guarding the people of the city against the enemy Shi Xie, so the best choice is , there is no head-on confrontation, but it does not give Shi Xie a chance to support elsewhere.
"Lord, the Younu captains from Jiaozhou, southern Yizhou, southern Jingzhou and southern Yangzhou are on their way. There are about thirty people in total."
As the commander-in-chief of the Younu Colonels, Taishi Ci had already summoned the nearby Younu Colonels. Now their team structure is one Younu Colonel and ten scouts. For large cities and military towns, multiple Lieutenant Colonel You Nu was under surveillance. If there were multiple small counties or unimportant places, one would be assigned to watch over them.
This is the reason why Gu Rubing can easily grasp the movements of all the princes. These captains of Younu, who are comparable to second-rate generals in terms of combat power, lead an elite team of ten people, and also have artifacts like Zhuge Liannu. If they want to It is very simple to infiltrate and survive in a place.
In addition, another important intelligence department is the fine salt shops opened throughout the thirteen states. This is Zhuge Liang's handiwork. Through the fine salt shops, it slowly penetrated everywhere. Within a few months, Already have their own details everywhere.
"Okay, our purpose is to hold Shi Xie back. We must not allow those who can cast poison to enter the Central Plains."
Gu Rubing said in a deep voice.
"We have a miracle doctor by our side, so we can still get timely treatment. Without the help of a miracle doctor, they will definitely die once they are poisoned. Therefore, at all costs, we must keep Shi Xie in Jiaozhou and not let him move forward!"
"No, my lord!"
"My lord, the front line is dangerous. You'd better sit in the rear and join the main force."
Zhao Yun was a little worried. After all, they didn't understand all the other party's methods. Gu Rubing followed rashly. If something unexpected happened, it would be too late to regret it.
"It doesn't matter, I'm with the soldiers."
Gu Rubing knew very well that these soldiers were also afraid when facing unknown means. Here, he could greatly reduce their fear and greatly increase their morale.
"Be careful, nothing will happen. Besides, isn't there a miracle doctor here?"
Although he said so, Gu Rubing was still a little flustered. After all, this was the first time he had faced such a thing in his third life. In addition, he had always heard various legends about poisonous poisons. This made him nervous. He was also a little unsure in his heart. The reason why he stayed on the battlefield in the end was because of Hua Tuo, in whom he had absolute confidence, or because he absolutely could not let Shi Xie break through their defense line.
"Don't worry, my lord, if you die, I will die first."
Wei Yan was carrying Zhuge Liannu with a smile on his face. He and Huang Zhong had just learned how to use Zhuge Liannu under the guidance of Tai Shici. Both of them were attracted by Zhuge Liannu. Wei Yan was shocked by the practicality and power of Zhuge Liannu. Wei Yan was more shocked by Zhuge Liannu's improvement in his archery skills. Originally, his archery skills were average, but after using Zhuge Liannu, he almost became a divine crossbow that can shoot wherever he wants. Hands on.
Huang Zhong was even more shocked by the power of Zhuge Liannu, its ability to fire continuously, and the improvements in changing crossbows. Huang Zhong was amazed. At the same time, Huang Zhong was also impressed by the Zhuge Cheng that Gu Rubing mentioned. De became more and more curious and eager to meet him. He wanted to know what kind of god could make such an ingenious thing.
After a few people were chatting and laughing for half an hour, three riders came galloping towards the exit of the canyon. They were the scouts they sent to find out Shi Xie's movements.
"Report—! Lord!"
The scout got off his galloping horse, jogged up to Gu Rubing, and knelt down on one knee.
"My lord, Shi Xie's heavy armored soldiers are only two miles away from the exit at the moment. It is estimated that they will arrive at the exit in two quarters of an hour."
"Did you find anything else?"
Gu Rubing couldn't help but tighten the reins and finally came.
"Behind the 20,000 vanguard heavy armored troops, there were about a few hundred men in black surrounded by cavalry. My subordinates suspected that they were the ones who released the poison."
"Very well, pull back all the brothers along the road, and be sure not to be noticed by the other party."
"promise!"
The crossbow captain turned around and left, rushing towards the canyon again. In the canyon, there were still more than a dozen cavalry scouts, who were continuing to swim in the canyon, observing every move of Shi Xie's army.
Gu Rubing turned around and nodded to Tai Shici beside him. Tai Shici immediately understood and led dozens of people, carrying barrel after barrel of tung oil, towards the exit of the canyon, and then at the exit, All the dozens of barrels of tung oil were poured into the exit, evenly covering the entire exit, without any omissions. After doing this, Taishi Ci led the soldiers back to the queue.
Gu Rubing rode his horse forward, turned around, and faced all the soldiers.
"Soldiers, the enemy is right ahead. They are heading towards our territory with a group of people who can poison us. They want to invade our territory. Do you agree?"
"No!"
More than a thousand soldiers shouted angrily together, their eyes full of determination, looking straight ahead, and clenched the Zhuge Liannu in their hands.
"Behind us is Jingzhou. They want to destroy Jingzhou first and then attack the north. Behind us are two of us, our brothers and sisters, and our hometown. What should we do?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill them all!"
Gu Rubing paced back and forth in front of the formation, pulled out the male and female swords from his waist, raised them high, and pointed them straight at the sky.
"kill!"
Shi Xie, who was in the canyon, vaguely heard the roar. He looked up to the end of the road, but he couldn't see clearly. He could only see a dark figure at the end of the canyon, blocking some of the light, leaving there no light at all. The canyon is even darker.
When the heavy armored soldiers were only a few hundred meters away from the exit of the canyon, the heavy armored soldiers charged towards the more than a thousand cavalry at the door. The soldiers under Gu Rubing's command clenched their Zhuge Liannus and stared at the charging soldiers. The heavy armored soldiers, Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan were at the front of the team, waiting in full formation.
Zhao Yun was guarding Gu Rubing's side and at the front of the team to protect Gu Rubing's safety. The other cavalrymen turned their horses' heads to the north and turned to the south. The Zhuge serial crossbows in their hands were already cocked and ready to fight at any time.
After the heavy armored soldiers were less than a hundred meters away from the cavalry, and they could clearly see the armor on those heavy armored soldiers, Huang Zhong took off the eight-treasure unicorn bow on his back, took out an arrow filled with gunpowder, and pulled it The bow is like a full moon, and an arrow hits like a shooting star.
The fast-flying arrows had already arrived in the heavy armor camp almost as soon as Huang Zhong let go, knocking away all the heavy armored soldiers in the path of the arrows. The gunpowder had already exploded, and little sparks had fallen on them. On the ground, tung oil was lit, and a single spark could start a prairie fire.
The ignited tung oil burned all the way, igniting all the tung oil. A huge fire wall formed at the exit of the canyon, forming a natural line of defense between the heavy armored soldiers and them. If the tung oil did not burn out, the fire wall would not disappear, and the raging fire wall would not disappear. The burning flames caused the armor worn by the heavy armored soldiers to burn red instantly.
They were wearing heavy armor, and it was true that they would not be ignited by flames, but the intense high temperature made the soldiers inside the heavy armor feel like they were in a steamer. The blazing high temperature burned the armor of the heavy armor until it was red-hot. It was like a soldering iron. The soldiers inside were like being tortured by cannons. The extremely hot temperature made these soldiers unable to hold on any longer. They fell to the ground one after another. However, after falling to the ground, their skin came into contact with the red skin that had been burned. After taking off the armor, he struggled to take off the armor.
But the armor is not so easy to take off, especially the armor that has been burned like this. If you touch the inside of the armor with your mobile phone, you will immediately get a few big blisters. Soldiers are also human beings, so how can they bear it? Living in this high temperature for almost ten breaths, most of the heavy armored soldiers in the flames had fallen to the ground.
The heavily armored soldiers who had not yet entered the musket looked at the scene in front of them with horror on their faces. They were all glad that they did not go too fast and did not become part of the sea of fire. They were even more fortunate that they were wearing armor and the wall of fire could not spread. Come on.
"emission!"
Following Taishi Ci's order, many soldiers began to attack with bows and arrows, while Zhuge Liannu hung on his waist. For a unit with full defense like heavy armored soldiers, the advantage of Zhuge Liannu was gone. Well, even if you can fire continuously, it doesn't matter, ten rounds can't break the opponent's defense. As long as you can't break the defense, it's useless.
Although bows and arrows are single and their attack speed is slow, they are better because of their high defense. Even if they face heavily armored soldiers, with the double attack power of Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong, one or two arrows can still break through a heavy armored soldier. Defensive.
More than a thousand people drew their bows at the same time, all of them were good players who could fire a hundred-stone bow. It was a bit difficult to deal with the heavy armored soldiers in time, but it was not impossible.
The tung oil was spread too thinly, and they didn't have much reserves. This caused the wall of fire to burn for only about a quarter of an hour before going out. However, although the flames were extinguished, the red armor on the ground was still burning. It is not a decoration, it has become a natural barrier against the cavalry.
Shi Xie slowly walked out from behind the heavy armored soldiers. There were two lieutenants of the heavy armored soldiers, both holding huge shields, standing in front of Shi Xie, blocking hidden arrows for Shi Xie at the critical moment.
"Uncle Liu Huang, long time no see. Why can't I see you? Could it be"
Shi Xie sat high on his horse and greeted Gu Rubing through the barrier made of red-hot iron armor. Naturally, Gu Rubing was not afraid of him and drove his horse to the front of the array.
"Wei Yan, why are you doing this? For Cao Cao and Sun Jian, you gave up all your capital. Is it worth it?"
Gu Rubing smiled brightly and asked Shi Xie, but Shi Xie just shrugged helplessly.
"There is nothing you can do, Uncle Liu Huang. I was forced by you. You don't give me a way to survive. First kill Kong Rong, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao, then take Liu Biao's Jingzhou and Ma Teng's Liangzhou into your pocket, and also defeat Sun Jian's Yangzhou. You haven't recovered for a few months, and you are having a big fight with Cao Cao in Xudu. You want to unify the world. If we don't take action, are you waiting for Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others to be dealt with before you come to deal with us? "
"What is Liu Biao's Jingzhou? What is Ma Teng's Liangzhou? What is Sun Jian's Yangzhou? Don't these all belong to the Han Dynasty? When did they become theirs? They are just arranged by His Majesty to govern and regulate on His Majesty's behalf. People who want to rebel against their master now should not be destroyed."
Gu Rubing would not let Shi Xie go around in just two or three sentences and reply immediately.
"Does Brother Weiyan also think that this Jiaozhou is your Jiaozhou?!"
The stern question did not make Shi Xie have any fluctuations. Instead, he sneered.
"Why, is Uncle Liu condemning me now? Before Uncle Liu unified the Nine Provinces, wasn't he still a feudal prince? It's just that you now have a larger territory, more people, and a tougher hand, so Your Majesty gave you this After conferring a title on a so-called Lie King, the territory is not limited to Qingzhou, so why don’t you return the other eight states to His Majesty?”
"Where is the idea of unifying the Nine Provinces? My king's territory is not only Qingzhou. Where did the other states come from? Were they ever my territory? It's just that your majesty trusted me and let my subordinates do it for me. Jurisdiction, why has this king ever interfered in the internal affairs of a state?"
Gu Rubing asked with a smile, his tone was tepid, warm and pleasant. When faced with Gu Rubing's words, Shi Xie still sneered, disdain to continue this topic with Gu Rubing, after all, no matter what he said, the other party would get it. The emperor of the day agreed, and he was also a member of the Han clan. If he continued to talk about this issue, he was destined to not get any advantage.
"It makes no sense for me to have a verbal dispute here. History will only remember the winner. History is written by the winner. If we are arguing here, it is better to fight directly."
Shi Xie is now extremely confident because of the four hundred Gu girls behind him.
"Do you have the guts to fight me? If you don't, just retreat quickly. Before my cavalry can rush over, retreat quickly. Don't continue to make noise here. Otherwise, when my cavalry rushes over, what do you think? I’m afraid there’s no chance of escape.”
"Hahahaha, Weiyan, Weiyan, should I say you are too confident? Or should I say you are too conceited?"
When Shi Xie heard this, his expression changed, and his intuition told him that something seemed wrong, but Gu Rubing's next words interrupted his thinking.
"Or is it the poison of the black-robed witches behind you that makes you think you can defeat me?"
Gu Rubing's voice had turned cold, and his murderous intent poured out. The strong murderous intent shocked Shi Xie's whole body, and he couldn't help but panic. How could Liu Bei know the origins of these people behind him, and how could he know that they were Poisonous, while Shi Xie was still thinking, he suddenly heard a horse whistle from the opposite side. He looked up and his pupils suddenly dilated.
