"Come here, order your troops and horses immediately and go back to the camp to repair." Since Cui Yanjin has decided, he must do his best and let the soldiers repair early so that they can have the energy to fight at night.

It was night, with a bright moon and few stars, and only a gentle breeze. Zhao Chongyan, who was leading five thousand elite soldiers nesting in a small valley, secretly thought that he was lucky. What they feared most about this kind of sneak attack was that the weather was not favourable, whether it was strong wind or rain.

Let him give up halfway.

Zhao Chongyan kept counting the time, and the sweat in his palms never stopped. He opened the water bag and poured it into his mouth. He became a dragon and a worm in one fell swoop.

"The notice goes down, everyone stands up, no noise is allowed, otherwise, we will kill without mercy!" It is already midnight, there is still one hour left, it is the time to launch the attack, now they are still five miles away from the Shu army camp, they have to touch a

Go within half a mile to ensure that the rocket can fly into the enemy camp.

According to the sentinel report, the patrolling guards of the Shu army were all concentrated within one mile, and there happened to be a small hillside one and a half miles away from the Shu army camp.

The Shu army was cautious and set up checkpoints on the hillside. Zhao Chongyan had already sent two of the most elite scouts to deal with them.

An army of five thousand men marched on the path at night, with no movement except for the sound of footsteps and the collision of armor.

The scout team lived up to their expectations and quietly eliminated the Shu army's checkpoint. Zhao Chongyan led his men up the hillside.

From this point of view, inside and outside the Shu army camp, there are many people and they are heavily guarded.

"Hurry and squat down!" Zhao Chongyan waved his hand and followed him. The soldiers standing at the front of the hillside squatted down one after another. A group of Shu soldiers holding torches was passing down the hillside.

Recently, they could even hear their footsteps. Zhao Chongyan turned around and saw that all the soldiers under his command were lying on the ground without making any sound. He felt relieved.

Zhao Chongyan waved a gesture of preparation, and the hillside immediately became busy. He would definitely not dare to light the torch, so he could only work by the moonlight, installing the crossbows one by one, and then loading the mixed gunpowder into the rockets one by one.

go.

Although the speed is very slow, it greatly reduces the risk of exposure.

For this trip, Zhao Chongyan prepared a total of 300 crossbows. This was the limit that his team could carry. Plus the supporting rockets and other supplies, if there were more, it would be impossible to march quickly.

A bed crossbow was equipped with five rockets, and they only had five shots. Zhao Chongyan calculated that it would be the most panicked time, and they would have the best chance of killing it.

"Light the torch!" Zhao Chongyan shouted in a low voice. The time had come and it was time to launch an attack.

Next to each crossbow, two torches were quickly lit, which were used to light arrowheads and fuses.

Zhao Chongyan personally held a torch and stood on the tallest rock. Even if he was exposed, there was no need to worry. Human legs could not outrun the rocket.

As the torch in Zhao Chongyan's hand was waved down, next to each bed crossbow, two people stood holding torches. One person lit the arrowhead, and the other lit the fuse. The fuses were two twined together. After being ignited, they burned together.

One ignited the bamboo tube tied to the rocket, and the other ignited the gunpowder filled in the crossbow arrow.

"Let go!" Zhao Chongyan's loud shout was heard far away in the darkness, and every soldier of the Song Dynasty heard it accurately.

The sound of "Boom~Boom~" continued, and as the crossbow vibrated, burning rockets rose from the ground and rushed towards the Shu army camp ahead.

Cui Yanjin, who was also hiding in the darkness, frowned at the situation in front of him. The rocket was too far away and could not reach the Shu army camp. Is this a joke?

If it weren't for his trust in Zhao Kuangyin, Cui Yanjin would have turned around and gone back. Why would he be playing games with a fool here at night?

Just as Cui Yanjin was making all kinds of accusations, the rockets flying in the air, when they were about to exhaust their strength, ejected brilliant fireworks one after another, and the rockets began to fly higher.

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit close." Cui Yanjin saw the fireworks from the rocket in the air gradually extinguishing, and knew that the speed of the rocket was about to slow down. Judging from the current speed and height, it will land in front of the Shu army camp, maybe there

Some were able to enter the camp, but it was impossible to shoot into the densely packed tents.

In Cui Yanjin's regret, fireworks were ejected from the tail of the rocket again, and it began to advance a second time, leaping forward faster.

"It's so unpredictable that there is such a sharp weapon." Cui Yanjin was really impressed. Who made this? It can shoot such a long distance. From now on, the rocket will definitely be able to enter the Shu army's camp.

In Cui Yanjin's eyes, before the rockets flew into the Shu army camp, another wave of rockets flew into the sky in the darkness, no different from the previous wave.

The first wave of rockets easily jumped over the fence of the Shu army, fell from high altitude at extremely fast speed, and plunged into the dense camp.

"It's fire from the sky!" It wasn't until the rocket fell into the camp that the Shu army patrols realized what was happening and shouted loudly, trying to wake up the sleeping soldiers.

When the sleepy soldiers walked out of the camp, they found that there were burning tents everywhere. When they looked up, they saw a large number of fires falling from the sky. They could no longer care about anything else and just wanted to escape from here.

More and more soldiers wanted to escape, running around in panic in the burning camp, unable to stop no matter how they shouted.

"Brothers, come with me!" When the third wave of rockets flew into the sky, Cui Yanjin made up his mind to rush to the Shu army camp with his own soldiers first.

Wang Zhaoyuan's tent was in the middle of the camp, and the rocket range was not enough to cover it. He was dreaming of breaking into Qishan County when he was awakened by his own soldiers.

"Sir, it's bad, fire from outside has attacked the camp." The soldier was also frightened. He watched with his own eyes the balls of fire falling from the sky and burning the tents. It was terrible.

"Fart, fire is flowing out of the sky, how can I still sleep?" Wang Zhaoyuan was so angry that he had never seen this battle of fire flowing out of the sky, but it was recorded in the history books. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who was like a divine help all the way, had to

Fire flowed out of the sky to help each other, killing tens of thousands of enemy troops.

According to records, at that time, the earth was shaking, the mountains were shaking, and the fire was soaring into the sky. It was difficult for people to stand. Unlike now, there was no feeling at all.

Wang Zhaoyuan didn't care to continue scolding the soldiers. He walked outside the camp and took a look. He was shocked. The burning tent caused a huge fire. The burned soldiers were rolling and wailing on the ground. The frightened soldiers were rushing around.

A mess.

When he looked up again, he saw that it was a batch of rockets flying in. With unparalleled power, they smashed into the panicked camp. The situation suddenly became even more unbearable.

"It's a rocket. This is an attack launched by the enemy. Quick, put out the fire and prepare to meet the enemy!" Wang Zhaoyuan simply didn't believe that this was fire from the sky. Although he didn't know what means the other party used to make the rocket fly so far, this was

Rockets must be the method of the Song army, and they must be prepared for battle.

Wang Zhaoyuan returned to his tent and asked his soldiers to put on armor for him.

When Wang Zhaoyuan appeared outside the camp again, all five rounds of rockets had been used up. The tent was almost completely burned in the area covered by the rockets. In the area at the rear that was not covered by the rockets, soldiers were being organized, preparing to finish in front of the camp.

formation to resist the Song army.

"

Ah! Rush!"

"kill!"

In front of the Shu army camp, the shouts of killing were loud. Zhao Chongyan led his soldiers to fight. He ignored the arrows and rushed forward with his head covered. If he was shot, his life would be bad. He had to move as fast as possible.

Rush in.

"Ah! Get up!" The resisting horses were moved away one after another, and the Song army rushed towards the fence frantically. The temporary fence did not have much resistance at all, and the Song army rushed out a gap.

"Brothers, follow me!" Zhao Chongyan shouted, leading his soldiers to rush in from the gap first. He could see that the camp was still in chaos. He overestimated the strength of the Shu army. This situation

, even if Cui Yanjin comes a quarter of an hour late, it won't matter.

The moment Zhao Chongyan turned his head, he saw the soldiers holding torches in the rear group, Cui Yanjin's men, running towards this direction, and his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Wang Zhaoyuan had just sent a group of people to stabilize the situation, but was suddenly attacked by a large number of Song troops, leaving him at a loss.

"Quickly, kill them and stop them!" Wang Zhaoyuan was anxious. He knew very well that if this first wave could not be stopped, he would probably fall here tonight.

However, the Shu army, which was frightened and fled in all directions, became even more unbearable after being killed by the Song army, and instead rushed towards Wang Zhaoyuan.

"Anyone who dares to attack the military formation will be killed without mercy!" Wang Zhaoyuan is also a ruthless person. He can see at a glance that the opponent's plan is to let the rebels attack his military formation. In order to protect the military formation, he will also kill his own people.

.

Wang Zhaoyuan was not just talking nonsense, he ordered his soldiers to chop down dozens of people in a row. The rebels finally realized that something was wrong and ran to both sides, not daring to rush into the military formation again.

"Kill!" Zhao Chongyan roared and led his men directly to attack Wang Zhaoyuan's military formation.

Looking at the powerful Song army, Wang Zhaoyuan secretly thought that it was a fluke. Fortunately, he didn't rush forward just now. Now he is waiting for work, and he should have a chance of winning.

The Song army, which was charging quickly, rushed together with the Shu army, which was in a defensive posture. What Wang Zhaoyuan did not expect was that the Song army's combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Shu army. Although it did not collapse at the first touch, it was still in chaos.

On the other hand, the Song army cooperated with each other and used the sharp swords and guns in their hands to quickly kill the surrounding Shu army.

"Quickly, reinforce and mobilize troops!" Wang Zhaoyuan shouted. In a hurry, he had only gathered more than 10,000 soldiers. Judging from the current situation, there was no way to stop them.

Wang Zhaoyuan was thankful that the Song army that came was not that big. When the army behind them came up, they could surround them and when they were exhausted, they could completely annihilate them.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Suddenly, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and more Song troops rushed in. The first man on horseback, holding a bow in hand, was his old rival Cui Yanjin.

With the addition of 30,000 elite Song troops, the Shu army gathered by Wang Zhaoyuan instantly became extremely weak. After only one charge, they were all in pieces.

Immediately, the Song army split into two and quickly charged through the camp without giving Wang Zhaoyuan a chance to gather his men.

The entire Shu army camp was filled with shouts of killing, accompanied by the screams of Shu army soldiers, and tents burned to ashes.

Wang Zhaoyuan looked at the bodyguard beside him and really wanted to yell, "Kill me", but his feet seemed to be stuck and he couldn't move.

"Withdraw!" In the end, Wang Zhaoyuan gave up. In this situation, manpower was already irreversible.
Chapter completed!
