Chapter 710 The ash bottle covers people's eyes, and the sea of fire and hell are in the same direction
When the Xiliang soldiers charged, they didn't make any sound, and they didn't even shout killing. This is the combat characteristic of elite divisions, and the method of shouting and shouting to strengthen their courage is a snake for these elite divisions.
Silent and fast. The soldiers of Xiliang rushed towards the barracks like a black cloud, and they could only hear the sound of the rubbing of the armor on their bodies, and the hundred steps away were instantaneous. Each soldier guarded his shield at his vital point, and only showed his eyes to observe the movement above the earthen wall.
The screams of the officers and soldiers above have been heard clearly, with the kind of casualties just now, I am afraid that there is no ability to reorganize the team to meet the battle in a short period of time, Chu Liancheng deeply knows how big the impact of nearly half of the casualties on the psychology of the soldiers.
Seeing the lives of the comrades around them one by one, as well as the screams of those wounded soldiers, the concept of life and death will be redefined in everyone's heart.
The rhetoric of weekdays seemed so insignificant in front of the cold blade and hot blood.
Now those officers and soldiers above must have lost their fighting spirit, they were originally some old and weak soldiers, and their performance just now can be said to have done their best, and they can be said to have performed very perfectly.
But under this kind of indiscriminate killing of the enemy and the rain of arrows, even the elite division may greatly affect the morale. Chu Liancheng and the other energetic people rushed to the front, and they had already come to the front of the trench, and they only needed a few ups and downs to fly and jump onto the earthen wall.
But at this moment, a roar was suddenly heard.
"Cast!"
Immediately afterward, countless porcelain bottles were dropped from the wall, all with burning cores. Those who were energetic and capable bore the brunt, and Chu Liancheng showed a look of surprise on his face.
Suddenly shouted loudly: "Retreat!"
The voice almost cried out, showing such anxiety and surprise. Chu Liancheng had already flown back with his shout. But the other soldiers were not so quick to react.
Before these porcelain vases could fall to the ground, they heard a loud explosion, and all the porcelain vases were blown into pieces in the air, and there were countless sharp iron nails and iron pieces and lime powder in them.
In an instant, the earth wall was transformed into a dead area with no fingers visible and a rain of iron flying.
These porcelain bottles are called ash bottles in the city defense, and the inferior porcelain bottles are filled with quicklime, plus sharp iron nails, and a large firecracker is placed in them.
When you use it, you can ignite the core and throw it down, and then the quicklime and iron nails inside will be exploded, and it will immediately fly everywhere.
Although there is no fatal injury, once the quicklime spreads, it is impossible to see in a large area, and there is no fatal damage if it hits those iron nails and iron pieces, but it will damage people's ears and eyes, and make the soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.
The Tianshuipu military camp is a battleground for soldiers, so there are many types of military supplies and sufficient quantities, and these ash bottles are all prepared by Wang Ying a long time ago, and now they have really received miraculous results.
Now it is not very effective to deal with these elite divisions if they shoot arrows, because these people are all neatly formed, their shields are almost seamless at all angles, and the exposed parts of their bodies are also armored.
Even if he was hit by an arrow, the bows and arrows in the hands of those old soldiers could not cause any fatal injuries.
But this ash bottle is different, once it explodes, it is very wide and pervasive. The shield didn't have a way to block the quicklime dust that was spreading. In this case, do not say to continue the charge, that is, the road in front of the trench is not clear from anywhere.
The bottles that exploded in all directions shot out countless pieces of iron nails and iron pieces, and these small objects were shot in all directions by the explosive force of the firecrackers. Even if there is a shield in the way, there is no way to defend against it from all angles.
When he boarded, several people in front of him were injured in the eyes and faces, but fortunately, Chu Liancheng shouted in time. These Xiliang troops quickly retreated, avoiding the explosions of the ash bottles that were continuously dropped behind.
This kind of ash bottle can't make any fatal injuries, although those Xiliang soldiers found that there was chaos ahead, but after all, they have all been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have seen such battles.
After retreating back to open the area of influence of quicklime powder, he formed a shield array a few feet away from the trench, waiting for the diffuse quicklime powder to disappear before making an impact.
However, there was no movement on the earthen wall, and Chu Liancheng saw that the diffuse quicklime powder had almost disappeared, and the road ahead was revealed. Immediately with a wave of his hand, the Xiliang army began to rush forward again.
After only a few steps, Chu Liancheng suddenly felt that something was wrong, the air was filled with a strange smell, and the feeling under his feet was also a little strange.
Hurriedly looked down and saw that the ground was full of black liquid, and it was extremely viscous when stepped on. The smell in the air smelled like tar, and just when the quicklime powder would be diffuse, the officers and soldiers on the earthen wall actually set a trap at the same time.
Before Chu Liancheng could react, several torches suddenly dropped from the top and landed on top of those viscous black liquids, immediately rising into a raging fire.
Since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless, and Chu Liancheng has been stained with flames on his legs and feet even if he is fast. The Xiliang army had already crossed the trench at this time and was preparing to climb upward. Suddenly attacked by this sea of fire, dozens of people immediately let out screams.
The people behind were blocked by this sea of fire, and there was no way to come forward to rescue. Most of the people who rushed to the front were the most elite soldiers and those who were strong under Chu Liancheng.
Burned by the sea of fire, in addition to those who were good at escaping from the sea of fire with their strength and ability, thirty or forty people were burned to the ground, and in an instant they became burning men rolling around on the ground, and they did not move for a long time.
The black liquid on the ground was so resistant to burning that the fire could not be extinguished for a while, and there was a sea of fire beneath the earthen wall. The stench of burnt human bodies spread, and the fire distorted and distorted the corpses that burned the numerous earthen walls.
This terrifying scene even caused a little fear in the hearts of the soldiers of Xiliang, with this sea of fire barrier, with Wang Ying's command, the officers and soldiers on the earthen wall stood up one after another. The longbow in his hand was pulled away vigorously, and the arrows kept shooting towards the Xiliang army.
Now that there is no way to impact across a sea of fire, staying under the earthen wall will become a target for arrows, Chu Liancheng has no choice but to command the soldiers to layer the shields into a formation, and slowly retreat backwards.
Those officers and soldiers saw that the arrows could not break through the other party's protection, and they had to stop.
After this round of attack and defense, the two sides were damaged, and although the veterans on the earthen wall did not have enough physical strength, they were much stronger mentally than the recruits who had not experienced the battlefield.
After being shot by the enemy without distinguishing between the enemy and me, he still stabilized his mind, obeyed Wang Ying's order, threw the ash bottle and oil bottle down step by step, and killed the enemy.
It's just that this sea of fire can't burn endlessly after all, as long as these black grease are burned out, the enemy's offensive will continue, and both sides have taken a break during this time.
More than 80 people were killed by indiscriminate arrows and 60 or 70 injured in the Tianshuipu barracks, but fortunately the barracks were well supplied and equipped with military doctors. Soon the soldiers who had been shot were helped to the barracks to heal their wounds.
Nearly forty of the people under Liancheng's hands were burned to death under the earthen wall, and some were also burned with black grease, but these people were all stoic, and they all did simple bandages and gritted their teeth to persevere.
Chu Liancheng was quite annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that with such a small military camp, with those old and weak soldiers, he could still be in danger with such heavy losses.
Not only did it not completely collapse, but it was able to organize an effective counterattack, although the number of casualties in this round of impact was greatly advantageous. However, it seems that there are a lot of materials in the barracks, and there are no siege equipment on his side.
Whether the next round of impact will be able to attack and how many casualties will be there is unknown.
That Wang Ying was properly deployed in a very short time, and although he repelled the enemy soldiers, his mood was very heavy. The loss of so many men at once was extremely detrimental to the battle that followed.
I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of bad luck today.
