Chapter 464 - Vigor Injury
"Whoosh." Just as they laughed, the arrow broke away from Yuwen Chengdu's bow and flew towards Wang Shichong.
King Zheng was fully confident that he could block the arrow with his face, but he did not do so. Instead, at the most critical moment, he got shorter and heard a whooshing sound as the arrow flew over his head and hit him.
Half of his five-inch long spear was broken off.
This was completely a conditioned reflex reaction. Afterwards, everyone smelled a strong stench, and the dignified King Zheng lay on the ground incontinent, and then two arrows were shot at his chest.
"Dang." The arrow shattered the goggles, and blood immediately spattered out. Another arrow penetrated his tiger-skin combat boots, nailing his ankle to the floor of the square.
"Protect King Zheng."
The personal guards led by Guo Shiheng and Wang Jundu immediately rushed forward with oar shields and overlapped their shields to form a wall to protect Wang Shichong's retreat.
"Kill Qin Hu, kill Qin Hu."
Yuwen Rutong and the other four people have led four groups of nearly 10,000 people to surround them from all directions, just like they are in a leek field. Starting from the periphery, they harvest the lives of the people one by one, and gradually move towards Qin Hu and Qin Hu in the middle.
Yuwen Chengdu came closer.
At first, the people just scattered and fled, but Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses slaughtered them indiscriminately and surrounded them like iron barrels. There was no way to escape. They could only fight these soldiers desperately.
Qin Hu and Yuwen Chengdu only brought twenty short spear assaulters, but they were all the most elite warriors. They suddenly took out strings of firecrackers from their bodies, lit them, and fired bows and arrows into the crowd of Zheng Jun.
Qin Hu has always wanted to design explosives, but he has never been able to succeed. Until now, he can only create firecrackers with slightly stronger explosive power. Each one is about the thickness of three fingers and is filled with gunpowder. After the explosion, there will be firecrackers on the ground.
A small crater the size of a fist. If someone were to hold him in his palm, his five fingers would definitely explode.
When used to bombard armored warriors from a distance, its effect is minimal.
But no matter what, people in the Great Yu Dynasty had never seen this thing before. Zheng Jun was frightened by the burst of gunpowder smoke. Some soldiers were even injured by the firecrackers on their hands and faces, and their calves were shocked, causing numbness in pain immediately.
Due to the thick smoke, they were confused about their direction. They were so frightened that they retreated collectively.
The resentful people snatched the weapons in their hands and launched a counterattack against them. The military formation was destroyed by such an unorganized attack.
As the saying goes, if surrounded by a hundred cavalry, ten thousand people are invincible. Once the army formation is scattered, the cavalry will dominate the world. No matter how many infantry there are, they can't stop the iron pagoda that is flying towards them.
Qin Hu had already reached this step, so according to the original plan, he divided the twenty short spear assaulters into four groups. He, Yuwen Chengdu, Xi Wuben, and Tang Zhen each led one group and went straight into the prison where Wang Shichong was.
Cutting the platform, wherever it went, it was like a broken bamboo, unstoppable, and Zheng's army was killed and injured.
The common people hated Wang Shichong so much that they followed Qin Hu and others and rushed forward. Seeing that Wang Shichong was not sure whether he was alive or dead, Zheng Jun had no intention of fighting. He was beaten back more than ten miles by tens of thousands of ragged and malnourished people.
We are almost going to the palace city.
Xi Wuben took the opportunity to rescue the unconscious Feng Ciming and asked the soldiers to put him on horseback to continue fighting.
Yuwen Rutong, Yang Gongshen, Sun Shixiao, and Duguji, because they had long been dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, had long planned to rebel. They took the opportunity to defect and followed Qin Hu to attack the Sun Gate. Fortunately, Wang Bian and Qiong Huangman fought desperately to stop them.
We stayed outside the door and continued fighting until dusk.
Because Wang Shichong's troops were gathering more and more, Qin Hu had not expected such a reversal before. He did not arrange a large force to respond, and he was afraid that others would steal his retreat, so he had to retreat.
It is not yet known whether Wang Shichong is dead or alive.
But no matter what, this operation was successful. At least now the people of Dongdu know who is good and who is bad, and Feng Ciming was rescued.
Yuwen Rutong and others dismounted and knelt down to express their separation from Wang Shichong and their allegiance to King Yan, and followed Qin Hu and others back to the camp.
In this battle, Wang Shichong lost tens of thousands of horses and his vitality was severely damaged.
