311 Burning the well
。 There were escalators at the back of these wells that could be used to go up and down, and after our troops killed and wounded one person, someone immediately made up for them, but they never completely suppressed the wells, but instead formed a war of attrition. I shouted, "Bed crossbow, burn the rebel well with rockets......"
The soldiers who had been in a state of excitement had been in a state of excitement before, only thinking of suppressing the opponent's well with a rain of arrows, and had not thought of burning it with rockets at all. When I heard my order, I came to my senses and secretly scolded myself for being stupid and unstoppable, and that there were many rebels, so what was the use of exchanging my life with them? All our lives have been exchanged, and the rebels still have tens of thousands of people, and if we are replaced, who else can defend the city? You have to find a way to win the most at the least cost.
The secretly ashamed soldiers immediately went to prepare the rockets.
Gunpowder is afraid of rain, but rockets are not so particular! Soon, a stream of rockets flew towards the rebels' wells. These arrows were tied with rags and cotton wool, soaked in oil, and once ignited, they could not be extinguished by a little rain.
Bows and arrows can kill and injure some people above at most, but there is no way to destroy them, but rockets are very different, the shafts are all wooden structures, you don't need to shoot the soldiers above, as long as you shoot rockets on top of wood, one arrow can destroy a well!
Rounds of rockets were fired, and more than a dozen wells were ignited in an instant, and a spark could start a prairie fire! The autumn rain failed to extinguish the small flames, but the autumn wind came to help the fire, and the flames quickly rose and spread......
The rebels on the well tried to put out the fire, but the defenders had already taken precautions and went to the middle of the well to call for places that were difficult for manpower to reach, so most of the rockets were fired at places they couldn't reach. What's more, if you want to brave the rain of arrows of our army to extinguish the fire, it is also a fatal job, not many people dare to do it, they can succeed, they can only watch the flames swallow up. The situation above the well soon began to deteriorate, and the smoke and intense heat made the soldiers above feel like they were in hell. Many people soon couldn't hold on, just trying to escape, some people began to climb down the escalator, and some people really couldn't hold on, and directly chose to jump from the well more than ten zhang high. Not to mention them at such a height, even if it was me, I had to fall if I jumped off, they were just ordinary soldiers, how could they survive? Maybe they didn't think of these in a panic, maybe they thought of it, but the long pain is better than the short pain, and it is better to jump off than to be tortured alive and die, and die a happy death, and if you are lucky, you may be able to save your life!
Seeing that the rockets have received miraculous results, I can't help but be overjoyed, well, although the artillery can't be used, these rockets can withstand it for a while! What makes me even happier is that although the rockets are simple and effective, the rebels can't do the same, and the walls are no bigger than the wells - have you ever seen the walls set on fire?
"Squeak...... Wow...... Squeak...... "Several wells that had been burned off beams began to collapse, and most of the soldiers who had not had time to escape from the fire were thrown to death in the wailing, and countless people were killed and injured by the collapsed wells. The other soldiers on the wells that were intact, seeing these tragic scenes, couldn't help but turn white, the lessons of the past were in front of them, and they couldn't help but be afraid! As soon as the heart was cold, the morale naturally plummeted, and the soldiers of our army were not able to let people go, and immediately launched another round of fierce attacks, and five more wells were burned.
"Good...... Good ......"
"Oh...... Oh......"
Watching one well after another collapse, our soldiers couldn't help but raise their weapons in their hands and cheered loudly.
The three armies have been taken away, and if they continue to fight, they will only make their side bear a huge price, and King Cheng has to withdraw his troops from Mingjin.
