The Chibei army marched vigorously, with the cavalry charging in the front, determined to tear a hole in Zhiyi City.
The night was filled with billowing dust and smoke, as if the Red North Army was coming with black fog.
Xiao Jingzhou took a telescope and carefully calculated the range of the fireworks.
Three miles.
Two miles.
One mile.
Xiao Jingzhou curled his lips slightly, suddenly took off the telescope, and nodded at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen held a megaphone and shouted, "Ignite!"
The fuse on the city wall quickly ignited the fireworks below the city.
Deafening noises continued to sound from under the city walls.
...
...
Colorful fireworks quickly burst out from the cardboard box.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, it cut through the night sky and attacked the Chibei Army with unstoppable force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The colorful flames attacked the cavalry first.
The horses under the cavalry were frightened and began to kick their hooves and charge forward.
The infantry was dispersed by the cavalry and instantly fell into chaos.
The Chibei Army that was rushing in the front had their limbs, bodies, and heads blown all over the place by the fireworks.
The blood spilled on the ground, leaving a dark brown mark.
For a moment, the area outside Zhiyi City was like a hell on earth, with the sounds of fireworks, explosions, and screams continuing.
"fire!"
"Skyfire!"
“Help! Help!”
The range of fireworks is limited, the farthest is no more than 1,500 meters, and the closest is only 800 meters.
It was cold in winter, and the Red North Army mostly wrapped themselves in furs, which would burn if they were touched by sparks.
In a short while, the Chibei Army, which was in the front, rolled on the ground with flames all over their bodies.
When the second prince saw the fire in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Loud flames continued to appear from under the city in the distance, and in an instant he had 10,000 cavalrymen.
These are the soldiers from his mother's clan. He is able to fight against the eldest prince on equal terms only thanks to these powerful soldiers.
The second prince gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Prince Dajing, I will fight you till death!"
The second prince's confidant stepped forward and said, "Second prince, should we retreat?"
As soon as these words came out, the second prince's face felt as if he had been slapped several times, and it became red and painful.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't take the city, how can I explain to my mother clan?"
The loss of such a large number of troops and the lack of any military achievements would only make his mother clan doubt his ability.
Without the support of his mother clan, how can he dominate the entire Chibei territory!
The second prince looked around but didn't see Hu Riwei, so he cursed in his heart.
He shouted loudly: "Quick, invite General Hu here!"
Hu Riwei stood in the distance and finally understood the range of the fireworks.
If the arrows had not stopped suddenly, and if a wooden stick had not been used as an arrow, the Second Prince would have mistakenly believed that Dajing was short of arrows.
The second prince was arrogant and eager for quick success.
Chibei would not lose 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry.
He cursed: "Damn it! I got fooled!"
"The cunning Prince Dajing!"
Hu Riwei arrived late, and the Second Prince had no time to punish him.
He spoke in a rare humble tone, flatteringly under the firelight.
"General, what should we do now?"
Hu Riwei said calmly: "There is food everywhere in Dajing City, so it is not surprising that the Crown Prince of Dajing has made preparations early."
“The fire launched outside Dajing City can only be maintained within a mile.
This general predicts that these fires will not be endless.
Once these fires are put out, we’ll capture Dajing City in one fell swoop! ”
Hu Riwei's words were powerful and instantly gave the second prince confidence.
He showed a pleased smile on his face: "Good, good! The general's analysis is still appropriate.
Once we win this battle, I will definitely give you credit for the first achievement! ”
Hu Riwei ignored him and waited for the light that instantly lit up the night sky to disappear.
He squinted his eyes through the billowing smoke and saw a tall figure standing on the city wall.
Hu Riwei silently repeated Xiao Jingzhou's name in his mouth, as if he wanted to chew it up with his teeth.
In Zhiyi City, Yang Jin couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Great, the Chibei cavalry dispersed."
“The fireworks sent by the gods successfully shocked the 100,000-strong army of Chibei.
In my opinion, these bastards will withdraw their troops in less than an incense stick of time. ”
There were flames everywhere under the city, and even with a telescope, it was difficult to see the movements of the Red North Army under the city.
Suddenly, Gu Zhenbei shouted.
"not good!"
"The Chibei Army is about to release arrows!"
"Shield! Up the shield!"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
As soon as Gu Zhenbei finished speaking, the flaming arrows lit up the sky like stars.
Suddenly landed on Zhiyi City.
The soldiers of Dajing used shields to build a wall in the shape of a triangle to prevent arrows from falling on the city wall.
“Boom boom boom…”
The arrows hit the shield so hard that it hurt the eardrums.
Yang Jin, under the shield, shouted, "Brothers, hold on!"
Chibei's fierce attack of arrows gradually stopped.
Gu Zhenbei asked the soldiers to use their shields to create a gap and extended the telescope to carefully observe the situation outside the city.
"The Chibei Army has launched an attack!"
"Remove the shield!"
The Dajing soldiers took off their held high armors one after another.
Xiao Jingzhou lowered his eyes and watched the Chibei army pushing ten siege vehicles towards the north gate of Zhiyi City.
He ordered, "Draw your bow!"
"A team of archers, aim at the siege vehicle pushers!"
Archers holding compound bows raised their bows and arrows in unison.
"put!"
With a command, the compound bow and arrow flew out.
The arrow streaked across the sky, leaving behind a roar that resounded through the clouds.
Tens of thousands of compound bows and arrowheads intertwined together and flew towards the Chibei Army under the city.
The arrows of the compound bow are extremely powerful.
One arrow can kill the Chibei army and carry them two meters away.
Hu Riwei's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this, reminding him of the "Sky Fire" in the previous battle.
He shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
The second prince was so angry at this moment that he kicked Hu Riwei's horse.
"Why are you retreating? Kill them all!"
"Anyone who dares to retreat will be treated as a deserter and killed without mercy!"
Hu Riwei's horse was frightened and jumped suddenly, almost knocking him off the horse.
Fortunately, Hu Riwei quickly grabbed the reins, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and quickly tamed the wild horse under him.
The Chibei Army continued to attack. Hu Riwei looked at the fallen warriors with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
At that time, on the city wall.
Xiao Jingzhou put down the telescope.
He stretched out his hand and Lu Chen handed him the compound bow.
He held his compound bow high and nocked an arrow.
The sight accurately found Hu Riwei's figure.
The arrow was on the string, but when it was suddenly released, the taut bowstring made a dull sound.
The sharp arrow pierced the night sky and flew towards Hu Riwei's vital point at a staggering speed.
"Bang!"
The figure riding a tall horse fell from the horse with a loud bang.
The person who fell to the ground vomited blood, his limbs twitched for a moment, and then suddenly stopped!
Open your eyes wide and die with your eyes open!
"Second Prince!" the confidant shouted.
"Hu Riwei, are you going to rebel?"
"How dare you use the Second Prince to block the arrows!"
The next moment, a red mark appeared on the neck of the roaring confidant.
Blood spurted out, staining the ground.
Hu Riwei put away his knife and shouted, "Prince Dajing shot the second prince."
"His trusted confidant was not able to protect him, and he felt ashamed of himself and committed suicide!"
"All soldiers, listen up! Retreat!"
The soldiers on Zhiyi City looked at the retreating Chibei Army and began to shout.
“Victory!”
"Long live the gods!"
"Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Lu Chen was extremely excited when he heard the cheers.
He looked at Xiao Jingzhou's frowning brows and asked curiously, "Your Highness, why are you still frowning after shooting down an enemy general with one arrow?"
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "The person who died from the arrow was not General Hu Riwei of Chibei."
Lu Chen looked towards the brightly lit area outside the city.
Who is that?
