Chapter 120

When Bao Long was at a loss, Zhao Fan sent someone to report that Yuan Yao's army was still in Zhaoyang County, Lingling County, and was now besieged by Xing Daorong's army. He urgently ordered Bao Long to attack quickly and break through Linxiang City .

After Bao Long thought about it, there are still 4000 Guiyang troops. If there are only 1000 Wuxi barbarians in Linxiang City, there is great hope for breaking Linxiang City. After a long time, Bao Long finally made up his mind and shouted: "The whole army Let's go, we must kill and rush to the city of Linxiang tonight."

……

Thirty miles south of Linxiang City, there is a small grass plain with a radius of dozens of miles, which is an endless flat land. As far as the eye can see, it is full of green grass, as if there is no other color between the sky and the earth.

On the plain, a grass wall was formed overnight. It was more than ten feet high and stretched for several miles. Thousands of cavalry lined up in front of the grass wall, lined up against the base of the wall, with solemn expressions and a bleak look. The strong wind blew, and the erected grass wall trembled and crumbled.

Yuan Yao straddled his horse and slashed his saber, standing in front of the formation, with an inexplicable coldness in his dark eyes.

This small grass plain is the tomb of the Guiyang army.

"Wow...wow..."

Startled by the sound of footsteps, a group of crows fluttered over Baolong's head and flew to the distance. There were bursts of desolate cries in the strong wind. In the sky farther away, several vultures were flying in the sky, screaming loudly. Call.

Under the bald eagles flying all over the sky, it is full of desolation.

On the avenue, there were two thousand corpses lying here and there, two thousand corpses without heads!

A large blood-stained flag was planted obliquely on the avenue, trembling in the strong wind, and the word "Wei" could be vaguely distinguished on the dilapidated surface of the flag.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, which was disgusting. Several broken spears were stuck in front of Baolong's feet. The blood stains on the spear blades seemed to still tell the bloody bloody battle that took place here a few days ago.

These are two thousand soldiers. Baolong took a deep breath, his expression gloomy.

Amid the heavy footsteps, the deputy general walked up to Bao Long and said, "General Bao, we have searched all the corpses, but we have not found Wei Yan's corpse."

"It seems that Wei Yan didn't die in battle, either he was captured or he ran away."

"Report!"

Just as Bao Long finished speaking, there was a mournful shout in front of him. Immediately, a fast horse galloped up to Bao Long, reined in the horse and said loudly, "General Bao, did you find Yuan Jun five miles ahead?"

Bao Long said in a deep voice: "I ordered the former army not to act rashly, and wait for this general to lead the army to meet up."

"As ordered."

The messenger replied, and galloped away.

Bao Long got on his horse and said to the lieutenant beside him, "Order the three armies to speed up their march and rush to Xiaocao Plain to kill Yuan Yao'er by surprise."

"As ordered!"

The lieutenant gave a tiger roar and took the order to leave.

Grass plain.

Li Ji rode his horse up to Yuan Yao under the guard of dozens of white-armed soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, everything has been arranged, now we just wait for the Guiyang army to come and die."

Yuan Yao nodded and said, "Well, the military advisor has worked hard."

"It is Li Ji's job to work for the lord."

Li Ji smiled lightly, his face suddenly became serious, and said, "Master, there is another bad news. General Qin Qiong sent an urgent report that Zhaoyang County has been surrounded by five thousand troops from Lingling."

"Ok?"

Yuan Yao frowned immediately when he heard the words. In order to meet the Guiyang coalition forces, Yuan Yao led the main cavalry to escort the Wuxi barbarian captives back to Linxiang City after leveling Zhaoyang County, leaving Qin Qiong only [-] infantry to garrison the city.

With 2000 people facing 5000 people, and these [-] infantry soldiers are still defending Zhaoyang City, even if Qin Qiong is brave and good at fighting, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"This is what we have to do. After killing the group of snakes, insects, rats and ants in front of us, we will go to settle the matter with Lingling prefect Liu Du."

Li Ji nodded heavily.

The night was dim.

In the vast night ahead, there was faint and inexplicable noise coming through the air, which instantly cleared Yuan Yao's mind.

A dim light of fire ignited like a ghost from the vast night ahead, and suddenly, more fire lights shone from the night sky, with the first fire light as the center, spreading rapidly towards the two wings, and it took only a moment. It became an endless line of fire.

Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief, a cold murderous intent appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The dim line of fire became brighter and closer, and finally turned into countless flaming torches. In the bright light of the fire, the dark army swept in like a tide.

The iron armor reflected a gloomy cold light under the light of the fire, and the spears and halberds standing like a forest almost covered the gloomy sky.

Yuan Yao raised his right arm leisurely, and under the dark night sky, Yu Chigong's mournful long howl suddenly sounded: "My lord has an order, raise the fire!"

Amidst the ear-piercing creaking sound, the archers opened their strong bows. A sergeant had long ago flicked the torches on the arrows, and the kerosene-soaked cloth wrapped around the arrow clusters burned instantly. The archers raised their shooting angles slightly and squinted slightly. His right eye suddenly opened and at the same time his right hand was released, only a buzzing sound was heard, and the burning rocket had already come out of the string.

"call out!"

The rocket soared into the sky and made a piercing scream, and flew hundreds of steps away in an instant, then plunged down again!
"boom!"

Where the rocket landed, the originally dark ground burst into flames, and the fire quickly spread to the surrounding area, and within a short time, it spread into a sea of ​​flames, with a radius of dozens of steps. The flames almost illuminated the entire battlefield like daylight.

Baolong's eyes sank, and he quietly raised his right arm.

"The general has ordered that the whole army stop advancing!"

Dozens of cavalry messengers behind Su Li quickly scattered away, screaming and howling one after another, and the mighty army that was advancing forward began to slow down and slowly spread towards the two wings.

Looking from a distance, countless flaming suet torches slowly spread out from the back of Baolong's army to the two wings, just like an eagle slowly spreading its wings under the night sky, about to soar into the sky.

After the army was ready to form a formation, Bao Long swung his right arm forward, his voice full of confidence, and he shouted loudly: "The archers go first, let's set back Yuan Yao's arrogance."

A cavalry passer ordered to gallop out quickly, and howled mournfully: "The general has an order, the archers will go out, and the heavy infantry will protect them!"

Baolong's order was quickly conveyed, and the quiet army formation quickly began to stir up. The neat army formation split from the middle, and a hideous heavy armored infantry rushed out from the formation. With the sound of the trumpets, they slowly moved towards the burning sea of ​​flames ahead.

"Boring!"

The heavy armored infantry walked fifty steps away from the sea of ​​flames before they slammed the large shields in their hands on the ground, making a loud and orderly noise, and began to form an formation. The next moment, nearly a thousand archers surged from the formation. Stepping out, stepping on neat steps, he quickly walked behind the heavy armored infantry and began to line up.

"Archer, light the fire!"

The leader Sima gave an order, and nearly a thousand archers put their arrows on the torches in the hands of the heavy armored infantry, and lit the arrows. Suddenly, nearly a thousand burning arrows were raised high and pointed at void.

"Chong!"

Amidst the sound of Qing Yue's metal rubbing, Luo Yi slowly drew out his saber and held it high above his head. The red fire light shone on the sharp blade, reflecting a dazzling light. The eyes of the soldiers of the Third Army instantly focused on Luo Yi's saber Above, suddenly, Luo Yi swung the saber in his hand forward fiercely.

"go ahead!"

Luo Yi gave an order, and the soldiers of the third army confronted each other, and also hurried forward to fifty steps behind the sea of ​​flames, lined up in two rows at the front and back.

"Sword and shield hand, vertical shield!"

The sword and shield hand smashed the huge shield to the ground, and built a solid shield wall with a loud bang, firmly protecting the soldiers of the third army behind the shield wall.

"Archer, light the fire!"

The archer ignited the arrow from the torch in the hand of the sword and shield, and then raised it high, pointing directly at the void.
