Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 474: The power of barrel arrows determines the outcome of the battle [asking for votes]

The city of the plateau.

After the Han army rushed in, they started a fierce street battle with the defenders in the small city.

The Parthian army took advantage of the defense, stood at the top of the city, condescending, and shot arrows continuously.

However, the Han army's armor had secret patterns flowing and connected with the light of the round shield in its hand. While defending, it fired rapidly with bows and crossbows to launch counterattacks and fire suppression to seize advantageous positions.

Yao Zhao, Chen Qing and others rushed to the top of the city looking for an opportunity.

All of a sudden, a throwing spear shot at Yao Zhao with a thunderous sound, but he managed to push it aside with a Han saber.

Chen Qing who was beside him was moved by Yao Zhao with the help of throwing a gun. Taking advantage of his slow speed, he grabbed it out and immediately held the gun in his hand.

With the help of inertia, he turned around and threw the spear, and shot back at one of the opponent's generals.

Yao Zhao swayed slightly, took the opportunity to rush forward, blocked the spears of the Parthian army with his arm shield, and entered the enemy's formation in a fit.

Seeing that the Han army was about to rush into the city continuously, Quetomi at the head of the city, and the war gods in his hands, overflowed with halos of electric light, as if they were echoing the war temple in the Parthian capital thousands of miles away. .

All the Parthian tribes have a power that is awakened and raised, as if they have been blessed by the gods.

The divine family in Quitemi's hand flew up and landed on the broken city gate.

Around the city gate, earth and rock surged, gathered by the gods, forming a layer of yellow-brown barriers like a giant war shield, trying to seal the city gate again.

If the city gate can be blocked, you can take advantage of the city defense and eat the Han army that enters the city first, and still have a chance of winning.

Quitemi's voice resounded throughout the city: "The city gate has been blocked by me, kill the enemy troops entering the city first, and then break out of the city..."

Before he finished speaking, outside the city, there seemed to be a phantom of a huge mountain-like bear, shrugging its shoulders and crashing into the city!

The violent power of that divine bear is as heavy as a mountain!
Huo Qubing had no interest in making a move at first, but if the city gate was blocked again, the Han army would inevitably increase unnecessary consumption, so he sacrificed the Divine Bear Soldiers Talisman.

boom--

The city gate filled with gods seemed to be smashed down by a mountain and dissipated with a bang, even the city wall was covered with cracks.

At the head of the city, in the shadow behind Quetmi, a ghostly figure with four arms outstretched emerged.

That was Bai Nanyu's Yan Mo technique, and he attacked and killed him.

Outside the city, more Han troops poured into the city.

The soldiers and horses of Han and Parthia fought fiercely inside and outside the city.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The defenders in the city suffered heavy losses and were about to fall.

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"

In the Parthian palace, a minister asked anxiously.

At this time, every second counts, and every breath seems to be extraordinarily long.

The holy spear in the hand of the Parthian king glowed, and another picture of divine power appeared in front of his eyes.

In that picture, it was the Parthian light cavalry who were riding their horses with all their strength, only seven or eight miles away from the plateau city.

Suddenly, hundreds of black dots fell from the sky and fell towards the marching Parthian tribes.

The officials watching the battle in the hall shouted in an uproar: "There is an enemy attack."

"Where did a Han army come from to ambush us halfway?"

In the divine power screen, a Han army of about a thousand people appeared, launching an offensive against the [-] tribes supported by Parthia.

In that team of Han soldiers, every two or three people set up a bronze tube that was as thick as a thigh on the ground, and patterns flowed on it.

They crouched about two hundred feet away from the road where the Parthian troops marched, and threw spherical bronze objects into the copper pipe.

In the copper pipe, a gorgeous tail of flame burst out immediately.

Hundreds of bronze balls were projected and landed among the returning Parthian soldiers and horses.

There was a loud bang like thunder, one after another.

The copper ball that landed on the ground exploded, and the small arrows sealed inside were fired in all directions, like dozens of crossbows firing intensively.

When hundreds of these arrows exploded together and landed in the galloping queue of cavalry, one can imagine the indiscriminate destructive power they caused.

The copper balls shot out from the barrel of arrows are more powerful than the crossbow arrows with the help of the ejection and array patterns.

The copper balls are all embedded in the shape of arrows, small arrows like bullets, which have a high probability of penetrating armor at close range.

Thousands of horses and mounted cavalry fell down in pieces.

This is Chiguoguo's equipment and fire suppression.

The formation of the [-] troops fell into chaos within a dozen or so breaths.

They ran around, trying to find cover and protection as much as possible, but the area covered by the explosion of the barrel arrows was so wide that there was almost nowhere to escape.

The powerful destructive power, the arrows and bullets falling like a natural disaster, the ubiquitous sharp noise in the air, and the roar that made the ground tremble, pushed the Parthian army into great fear and helplessness.

The fallen horses dragged each other, creating chaos.

"It's a pity that there are too few arrows and ammunition. This bucket of arrows only has about three hundred pieces. It would be great if there were more."

The one who spoke was the old prime minister who came to make a surprise attack with more than a thousand Han troops.

Beside him is the stout pro-military school captain Xiao Qisheng, and another school captain Liu Zhao.

Boom boom boom!
The fire barrel arrow emitted a halo continuously, firing six times, with an interval of about five to ten breaths between each time.

In the era of cold weapons, it takes a relatively long time to adjust after getting off the horse and wanting to readjust and organize a counterattack.

And before they have time to fight back, they will usher in a second wave of blows.

After six rounds, a small half of the Parthian army had been wounded by arrows and bullets, and the rest were in disarray.

Xiao Qisheng and another lieutenant Liu Zhao waved their hands at the same time, saying: "Go up, Lord Hou said that if you fight, you must be wiped out, wiped out!"

Fifteen hundred imperial troops got on their horses and rushed to the battlefield.

Gongsun Hong unexpectedly also rushed up.

Huo Qubing specially asked him to follow the addiction of fighting, because this is an ambush that must be won.

The power of the fire barrel arrow was put into the battlefield for the first time. Huo Qubing had determined the result before the battle and knew how much damage he could cause in the absence of precautions.

This time we are also testing new weapons in actual combat.

The capital, the palace.

Silently.

After a while, a minister said in a trembling voice: "What kind of weapon is that burning flame-like thing they used?"

"This Han army, the picture we can see is too blurry, and we didn't see in advance that they had separated another ambush."

"When they left the divine power screen before, they separated out a group of people."

"..."

When the other ministers talked, Utis frowned.

That copper pipe-like weapon gave him a huge shock.

He has been in battle for a long time, and he knows the horror of this weapon at the first sight.

Even Mithridates' face showed a look of horror.

Human beings usually have great fear of the unknown, and the higher the position, the deeper the feeling of the person who controls everything.

Because of the complete lack of understanding of the consequences of the unknown.

"The opponent's weapons are more powerful than our crossbows, and the bombing speed is faster than the best trebuchet." A minister said tragically.

"Send Ars a message to evacuate him," Mithridates said shyly.

----

The sun was shining brightly, and it was almost noon.

Nordially City.

Wei Qing took out the concentric lotus leaf, and a message appeared on it, which was sent by Huo Qubing.

Earlier, Wei Qing realized that the situation of the battle had changed based on the fact that Als outside the city suddenly stopped attacking the city and the whole army retreated.

The Han army in the city received the order in advance and was ready to go.

After receiving Huo Qubing's message, Wei Qing ordered the city gates to be opened wide, and the Han army rushed out immediately.

Outside the city, Als' soldiers and horses had already evacuated to the plateau city.

They merged with the two thousand heavy cavalry advancing behind the six thousand light cavalry halfway, and saw the tragic situation of the ambushed six thousand light cavalry.

Farther away, there is a fire that soars into the sky.

When the Han army conquered the city on the plateau, it was not to occupy the city, but to destroy it.

They used pre-prepared fire oil and rockets to burn the plateau city, including their grain and supplies.

Parthia's food shortage has not been alleviated since the white mound stone broke the embankment and caused floods.

Later, they raised food from more western countries, supported the follow-up war, and wanted to fight for the initiative in the war.

But since then, the Han army has fought with it several times, always focusing on the weakness of Parthia's insufficient food preparations, seizing every opportunity to attack its logistics.

Whether it is Huo Qubing or Wei Qing, they are targeting and amplifying the weakness of Parthia's lack of food.

At this moment, the city of the plateau was set on fire again, burning its grain and supplies.

And arson is also the simplest and most direct means of attack.

In the palace, even Mithridates turned pale when he saw the city on the plateau burning.

The Han army seized their shortcomings, bit them to death and did not let go, and went to greet the food preparations.

If there is no food, there is no way to transform an army of millions into combat power.

On the battlefield, Ars listened to the secret message through the horn of war, and the minister of military affairs, Missito, brought him the latest news: Hurry up, abandon the city of the plateau, and retreat to the city of Tego further west.

The battle situation has begun to tilt, if they are entangled by the Han army, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing will press up from the front and back.

Als' team is bound to usher in a big defeat.

But it was too late for Als to leave.

Wei Qing in the rear, at a faster speed than everyone expected, personally led the troops to chase and approached quickly.

The faint sound of horse hooves came from behind, and gravel jumped on the ground.

At this time, if you want to leave, you will be chased by the rank of the Han army, and you will be beaten all the way, without even a chance to adjust to the battle!
Als made a quick decision.

Fight to the death!

"I, the Parthians, are a race favored by the gods. I have never been afraid of war! We have survived on this land for hundreds of years, and any opponent who comes to us will be defeated by us.

Parthia, god of war!Parthia, god of war! "

The shout of the God of War gave the Parthian tribe infinite courage.

They collided with swords and armor and shields to stimulate their will to fight.

In the plateau city, Huo Qubing's subordinates fought with the Parthian defenders.

In the wilderness, the armies of Als and Wei Qing also started to fight.

Ctesiphon, the palace.

The rapid collapse of the situation made Mithridates make a difficult decision.

"Promise me that the countries west of Parthia have previously asked for the city at the mouth of the Luoqu River, but let them exchange for food."

"The lord..."

Mithridates waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, we will get back the lost things after the Han army is forced to retreat.

Compared to the countries to the west asking for the city at the mouth of the river, the war in front of them is a battle of life and death! "

Wutis said: "My lord, I request to fight the Han army again!"

"Okay, except for the remaining troops in the capital, you can't move, and bring all the soldiers and horses. I will push the divine power and bless you!"

On this day, Mithridates, the leader of the Parthian kingdom, issued successive orders.

Bhutto of Nisa City also took the opportunity to break out of the siege that evening and completely abandoned Nisa, the former Parthian capital.

Bhutto led [-] defenders, rushed out of the city, and confronted the Hunxie King's troops guarding outside the city.

The two sides fought until nightfall, but Bhutto fought and left, paying the price of nearly [-] elites, and broke out.

Outside the city of Nordjali, the battle between the Han army and Parthia lasted until nightfall.

Huo Qubing commanded troops from the plateau city, and rushed forward after the battle, and joined forces with Wei Qing, attacking Ars' troops back and forth.

The two sides fought bloody into the night.

Als was shot and killed by Huo Qubing on the battlefield.

Its troops collapsed, with nearly two-thirds of the casualties, and the rest retreated in embarrassment.

By the next morning, the twenty miles between Nodiyari and the plateau city were filled with smoke and blood.

Wei Qing wore a long robe, sat on his horse, and asked his nephew: "You have a group of soldiers and horses under your command that have entered the depths of Parthia?

What are you going to do next? "

Huo Qubing smiled and said: "Of course I'm going after the victory, uncle will be my backing!"

Wei Qing said: "During this time, I have been observing the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Parthia.

Their deployment of troops can always respond quickly to our arrangements. I doubt that the other party can observe the changes on the battlefield.

You have to be careful, and you can also set up a game based on this to counter your opponent. "

Huo Qubing nodded slightly: "If there is a war in our country, Your Majesty will be able to see the situation at any time.

The moment I entered Parthia, there was a warning sign, but I'm not sure where it came from. "

"You want to go deep into Parthia?"

"Well, let's go tonight."
