Chapter 451
Zhu Bao waited for a long time, and saw the fire in the back village, thinking that the opportunity was coming, so he came in. Unexpectedly, it was a huge trap. More than 200 plots were shot and killed by a large number of arrows, with heavy casualties, and then surrounded by barbarians who were several times more than him. In particular, there were two fierce generals who were invulnerable to the sword and gun and rushed forward, causing their remaining formation to be messed up. In a hurry, there was no chance to fight back.
Wang Shuang and Heisha killed Zhu Bao one after another. Wang Shuang took the lead and slashed Zhu Bao's head with one knife.
When the other troops who were killed in a mess saw Zhu Bao's head fall, they immediately knelt down and surrendered. The master died and the battle was meaningless.
The battle in the back village came quickly and ended faster.
When Wang Shuang and others surrounded and killed Zhu Bao, Wei Ba had already sent people to rush out of the village wall, recovered the front camp, and closed the gate, blocking the Wu army who had just arrived. Wang Shuang succeeded with a blow, and did not bother to pick up Zhu Bao's head, turned around and rushed to the front camp. Heisha followed closely, leading three or four hundred soldiers out of the back camp and rushed towards the Wu army who was attacking the front camp.
Seeing that the village was safe and sound, Wei Ba finally let go of his last worry. He waved his hand and said, "Start!"
"Here!" Wei Xing replied loudly, turned around and looked at the barbarian beside more than ten stone throwers, raised his arms, and waved it violently: "Ignite, launch!"
The barbarians were already anxious. Seeing their companions killing the Wu people, they wanted to pull out the machetes from their waists and rush forward to start the killing. Now they finally waited until they showed their might, and they were all so happy that they couldn't stop. They used the torch in their hands to ignite the grass ball in the throwing basket, and raised the wooden hammer in their hands. They hit them violently.
With a loud "bang", the stone thrower trembled, and the long pole slammed into the sky. The grass balls soaked in oil burned, making a sound, and they made a meteor, running towards the Dinu Lake.
These stone throwers are the result of Wei Ba's efforts over the past few days. They do not seek elaborateness, but practicality. The craftsmen of the Yuanxi tribe are very ordinary, and it is impossible to make them very accurate. Wei Ba did not intend to use them for too long. He only hopes that these stone throwers can launch the prepared straw balls. Throw them onto the Wu army's warship, even if they are done. They are no longer accurate, but they need numerical advantages and full coverage.
Compared with stone balls and grass balls, Wei Ba made the throwing basket very large. He could fire forty or fifty grass balls at a time, and five stone balls were fired at the same time, and four or five hundred fireballs flew out of the back village. The lake surface was suddenly red.
With the support of his personal guards, Lu Kai was about to go ashore and went to the village to inspect the fruits of victory. Suddenly the ground lit up, and countless bright stars reflected on the water surface. He looked up subconsciously and was shocked. He stayed there for a moment, his mind was blank.
Lu Kai was not a negligent person. He had already made sufficient estimates of the strength of both sides. He was worried that the barbarian would be unfavorable to his warship, so he drove the warship under the cliff after Zhu Bao captured the front camp to ensure that everything was foolproof. With the barbarian's technical level and their bamboo bows and wooden crossbows with a range of only thirty or fifty steps, it was impossible to launch a large-scale attack on the warship.
Warships are most afraid of fire attack, so the navy generals are very alert to fire attack. Under normal circumstances, before entering the position, the navy forces on both sides will wet the hull with water in advance, including all decks and bulkheads, in order to avoid being successfully attacked by the opponent. Because of this habit, if you want to attack the opponent's warship with fire, you must take advantage of the other party's inconvenience and make the other party have no time to wet the warship, so that the fire attack can be successful.
This is also the reason why Huang Gai wanted to surrender during the Battle of Chibi. The surrender was to paralyze Cao Cao and prevent him from taking measures to prevent fire attacks in time. If it was a normal battle, the warships on both sides were wet and fire attacks would not work.
The barbarian had no warships and had no long-range weapon with sufficient range, so Lu Kai naturally did not need to wet the warships with water in advance. Now, something he unexpected happened on the battlefield. The barbarian could actually shoot the ignition from the back camp directly onto the Imperial Girl Lake, which made Lu Kai unexpected and had no preparation at all.
Lu Kai was not prepared, and the ordinary Wu soldiers were even less prepared. In their eyes, those barbarians were just waiting to die, so how could they pose any threat to their warships? When they saw the fire meteors in the sky pounce on the warships, almost everyone was stunned.
At least one-third of the grass fans landed on the warships, jumping on the ships and rolling around. In order to be waterproof, warships usually get oiled for a longer time. These warships that were soaked in oil but did not get wet in advance immediately began to burn when they encountered fire.
The Wu army was in chaos.
From the cliff to the Yuanshui, there were about 300 steps in total. Wei Ba gave up his front camp. In order to support Zhu Bao with the crossbow on the ship, the Wu army must drive the warship as close as possible to the cliff. In this way, most of the warships entered the depths of the Dinu Lake, and only the baggage ships without large crossbows were moored in the Yuanshui. Lu Kai's commanding ship was in the middle position, about 200 steps, which was the first target of attack selected by Wei Ba.
A large number of grass balls fell, several warships caught fire, and the soldiers on the ship were in a mess. Some took out water to extinguish the water, some dived to escape, and some were carrying oars to prepare to escape. However, it was already late at night, and it was pitch black everywhere, so how could the huge warships turn around and leave so easily. The ships collided with the ship, and the scene became even more chaotic.
Lu Kai quickly realized the danger of the situation and ran back to his warship, shouting loudly to the soldiers not to panic. He ordered the war drums to be beaten, and ordered the ships to save themselves, and not move around. Under the command of the drums, the chaotic scene finally got some control. While extinguishing the fire, the soldiers of the Wu army drove the warship away from the Dinu Lake and drove out the range of the stone thrower.
Lu Kai's reaction was quick and his decision was correct, but the fireballs flying all over the sky kept squeezing the confidence of the Wu soldiers. More and more fireballs fell from the air, igniting anything they could touch, and more and more warships burned, but their retreat was not so smooth. In the darkness, it was impossible to see each other clearly, and it was inevitable that they would collide with each other. Once a ship crashed and entangled with each other, it would block more warships and cause greater chaos. When several or more warships were entangled together and rushed to escape, it was not so easy to adjust the direction smoothly.
One warship caught fire, three warships caught fire, five warships caught fire, and ten warships caught fire...
When the fire reached a certain point, even Lu Kai's orders lost their effect. In order to compete for the opportunity to escape, the Wu army soldiers began to kill each other and collided with each other.
The scene began to get out of control.
Wei Ba stood on the wall of the village, looking at the increasingly brightening Dinu Lake, and the increasingly chaotic Wu army positions, breathed a long sigh. He was not a god, and he could not train all the soldiers of the Yuanxi tribe into martial soldiers in a short period of time. With just a few hundred soldiers, he could not defeat Lu Kai, who had three thousand elite soldiers head-on. But he had an advantage. He learned many of the situations of Lu Kai from the prisoners, including the open and secret struggle between him and Zhu Bao. Lu Kai knew nothing about him, and he had no idea that he had already arrived in the clan.
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will be invincible in a hundred battles. In this regard, he took advantage of it, which caught him off guard.
Water and fire are ruthless. If you can make good use of water and fire, you can defeat powerful enemies. Cao Cao burned Yuan Shao's grand career in Guandu, Zhou Yu burned Cao Cao's ambitions in Chibi, and Lu Xun burned Liu Bei's reputation in Yiling. Compared with those ancestors, his fire was really not worth mentioning.
However, this fire was enough to make Lu Kai frustrated.
More and more warships were on fire, and the Dinu Lake was as bright as daylight, even illuminating the Dinu Peak in the distance and illuminating Wei Ba's eyes.
On the banks of the Imperial Girl Lake, the battle was in full swing. Wu Jun, who was determined to rush into the mountain village and rob a lot, suddenly found that his warship was burning. He was frightened and panicked. When Wang Shuang and Heisha killed off the cliff side by side, they had no will to resist and turned around and ran. The mountain road was steep, and they usually had to be careful when walking in broad daylight. Now there are so many people, and there are extremely vicious enemies chasing them from behind. How can they retreat calmly? One squeezed one and one push one. The Wu army quickly evolved into a defeat that fled. Countless people were unstable and fell from the mountain road. Some were squeezed out of the water by their companions, and some were even hacked to death by their companions.
While chasing, Wang Shuang and Heisha ordered arrows to be shot, ruthlessly oppressing the Wu army and further expanding their chaos. They shouted loudly and drove the panicked Wu army forward, just like a few wolves driving a large flock of sheep.
The Wu army was panicked and suffered heavy casualties. They did not dare to stop, even if they knew they would fall into the water if they ran fast. They still had a chance to escape by swimming, but they were caught by the barbarian behind them, but they would definitely be dead.
When the road was so supportful that it was impossible to move forward, many Wu soldiers chose to dive. One by one, Wu soldiers jumped into the water from a cliff twenty or thirty steps high like dumplings. Many people fell on stones and fell to their heads and blood. Some people jumped into the water, but were dizzy by their companions who jumped down, and even hit them into the water, and never had a chance to float up again.
The Dinu Lake is like a pile of rising fireworks, illuminating the Dinu Peak and the sky, which is extremely brilliant. It celebrates the victory of Wei Ba, but it burns the life of Wu Jun.
Lu Kai beat his chest and stamped his feet. After years of fighting, he knew very well what the word "沪日本語" means. He also knew very well that today he was plotted by a clever opponent. The opponent lured him into the trap step by step, but he had no idea who the opponent was. There was no need to guess that those commandos in the back camp would be of great danger. Zhu Bao, who attacked the front camp, probably had no return. Now, he wanted to take as many warships as possible to reduce losses before the opponent had a full counterattack.
Lu Kai ordered a retreat, threw down his pursued subordinates, drove the warships toward the quiet Yuanshui.
Seeing the Wu army's commanding ship retreating, there was a jubilation on the cliff, and countless generals of the Yuanxi tribe Wei Ba surrounded him and cheered in a loud voice.
