The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 148
The reason why this weapon with many limitations has been able to run through every large-scale cold weapon war from ancient times to the present is that it has a role that no other weapon can replace, that is, it can attack in groups.

No matter how powerful you are, you can only leave the stage sadly amidst the arrows flying all over the sky.

Wang Liang used this method. In order to wipe out the soldiers who had dived before the Liang army crossed the river, he directly ordered all the soldiers to shoot at the bank.

After three rounds, clean up the battlefield.Although there were some grain troops who survived the flying arrows, they were quickly killed by the Yan army.It's not that it's not bad, there is a black-clothed grain army with a red rope tied on the shoulder that is very powerful. Although he was hit by two arrows, not only did he not die, but he killed two soldiers who made up the sword. However, in the end, it was still He was beheaded by Wang Liang.

Looking at the horizontal ladder extending from the other side of the river, listening to the noise coming from the river.Wang Liang also estimated the time, and shouted to his subordinates: "Light the fire, shoot the arrows."

After Wang Liang finished speaking, countless torches lit up on his side of the river in an instant, spreading from the river to several miles away, like a winding fire dragon.

The sudden blaze illuminated the entire river surface.It also made the Liang army who had crossed the river stunned for a moment, a little confused.Before they could react, they saw countless rockets shooting from the opposite side, densely packed, covering the entire sky.Then, he shot at them head-on.

Flaming rockets shot at ships, bridges, and soldiers.The grain army ships that originally covered the entire river turned the entire river into a sea of ​​flames at this moment.

It was originally a peaceful night, but at this moment, various sounds rang out, the sound of flames burning grease, the sound of bowstrings, and the sound of arrows piercing wood and meat, but there were more screams. The scream when the skin is burned by fire.

Many soldiers stood on the boat, hurriedly walked around, and even rolled on the boat, trying to suppress the burning flames on their bodies through these methods.

There are many more, howling and jumping into the river.Those who can swim and are relatively lucky may swim back to the other side, but most of them are not unlucky, so it can only be left to God's will.

The fire burned the wood and produced a large amount of smoke, covering the entire river.If there is no such wailing sound all over the sky, just accompanied by the sound of the river flowing, it would also feel like a fairyland on earth.

On the other side of the river, Li Chuang's face was dark, watching the flames spreading across the river, he couldn't say a word.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar standing beside him also had an ugly expression on his face. Just now he vowed to explain the plan to Li Chuang, but before his words fell into place, he was directly slapped in the face by reality.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar sighed silently and said, "General, retreat."

In fact, there is no need for Li Chuang to give orders. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Now that the river is on fire, the soldiers standing on the bank before crossing the river will naturally not board the boat to go into the flames.

"Don't worry, we haven't lost yet. After all, it's on the river. The fire isn't big. We haven't suffered too much damage. We can attack directly after the fire stops."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar persuaded: "General, our morale has been burned by this fire now. Even if we attack, we will suffer heavy losses. The gain is not worth the loss. Now our power has not lost much. Why don't we just let it go and choose another day." On the auspicious day of re-election, re-send troops."

After all, the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw that Li Chuang still had a tough face, and pointed to the fire on the other side helplessly, and then said: "General, you can see that the fire on the other side has extended to several miles away. There can't be that many people."

Li Chuang looked along the place pointed by the middle-aged Confucian scholar, only to see that the lights had spread to at least several miles away.Suddenly, his face turned dark again.

"You mean, Hinata's reinforcements have arrived?"

"Besides this situation, I can't think of any other reasons for the gods and demons that would cause Yangping to suddenly increase so many people, unless it is the Raiders from Heaven."

"Damn it, how did this happen? The reinforcements are still in Puyang City, why did they suddenly arrive in Yangping? When did they cross the river? Why don't I know anything about it?" Li Chuang scolded.

"Who scooped up the news, dragged it out and cut it for me. The enemies are all under their noses. They don't know yet. What are they doing for food?" Li Chuang shouted to the left and right.

Both left and right dare not make a sound.

"Based on the distance from Puyang to Yangping, we can deduce that they should have crossed the river last night. We didn't suffer a loss. It rained so heavily last night, and the reinforcements from the Yan army dared to forcibly cross the river. You underestimated him." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said softly.

"Damn it." Li Chuang cursed secretly, and then said to the middle-aged Confucian scholar, "I regretted not listening to Mr.'s words last night. I missed this opportunity."

In fact, the middle-aged Confucian scholar guessed Yangping's intentions last night, so he advised Li Chuang to cross the river immediately so that he could directly capture Yangping.

However, due to the heavy rain, the river surged.But news came from Puyang that the reinforcements had not yet crossed the river, so he felt that there was no hurry, so he refused to accept it for a day, but it turned out that because of this day, the reinforcements from the Yan army arrived, which made him this time. The raid failed.

"General, it's not too late now. Our army is far superior to the Yan army. Even if Yangping came to help, it is still not as strong as ours. It is only a matter of time before Yangping is broken. Withdraw the army."

"Oh." Li Chuang sighed, shook his head, and finally gave the order to withdraw the troops.

With the retreat of the Liang army, the first confrontation between Yangping and the Liang army ended with the victory of the Yangping defenders.

On the other side of the river where the Liang army retreated, Wang Liang looked at the corpses and raft wrecks floating in the river, smelled a strange smell of meat in the air, and remained silent.Although these people lost their lives following his orders, he didn't feel it at all.

Because this is war, there is no one right or wrong in war, some only you die and I die.Since he didn't want to die himself, he could only choose to let the enemy die.

For this reason, some small sacrifices are worthwhile. In his opinion, those patrolling soldiers did not die in vain, but the premise of achieving the greatest victory at the smallest cost in exchange for their deaths.

At this time, a soldier dressed as a lieutenant general walked into Wang Liangbin, cupped his hands and said to him: "General, the situation on the battlefield has been counted. The Liang army lost about [-] people in this battle. And we didn't have any casualties. The general is really a god-man, not only defeated the strong with the weak, and defeated the enemy army, but also scared off the hundreds of thousands of troops of the grain army with a few piles of torches."
