Chapter 1481: Defending the City (6)
In the eyes of everyone's ridicule, the catapult threw flint several times, and each time it hit the city gate. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is just the first time to smash the foot of the city gate, the second time to smash the waist of the city gate, the third and fourth times to the top of the city gate. Are you going to set fire to the city gates with flint? Such a stone could not even knock on the city gate, let alone light a fire, and although the city gate was wooden, it was inlaid with iron sheets. No wonder people don't bother to let you smash it.
The slinger did not give up and continued to prepare, but this time it was not a stone, but a few clay pots, and there was no fire, so he threw it out. The sound of clay pots breaking can be heard here. Oh, and seeing that the oil cans are not on fire, the heads thought to themselves.
After throwing the clay pot a few more times, the catapult finally threw the flint again. The leaders still have a sneering look on their faces, please, even if you add oil, there is still a layer of iron sheet, but I have never heard that an iron sheet can be burned by oil.
But as a raging flame burned all over the gates, the leaders were startled, and as the flames continued, their eyes and mouths grew larger.
It took them a moment before they shouted in shock: "This is the legendary ice oil? ”
The Shanyue soldiers didn't expect so much, and they all cheered.
Lei Ming said to the opponents with a smug face: "That's right, respected leaders, this is the ice oil that is poured endlessly, even if the city gate is made of iron, it will turn into molten iron under the flame of ice oil, and there is no city gate, see how they can resist!" This city will soon be ours! ”
The thunderous words immediately made the leaders and the Shanyue soldiers cheer together, okay, finally wait for the day of breaking the city, Lao Tzu must snatch the loss back from the city!
Everyone looked at the fire excitedly, waiting for the fire to be the first to rush in when the fire was extinguished.
However, what shocked everyone was the power of the ice oil was that not only did the flame not go out, but it did not even weaken at all, but burned bigger and bigger, and finally became a sky-high fire, and the towers on the city gate were surrounded by flames.
"Strange, why didn't the soldiers of Jin Wencheng react? And how is this fire getting bigger and bigger? Lei Ming frowned at the firelight and muttered.
"It should have ignited the object blocking the gate behind the city gate, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a big fire, but it stands to reason that the sandbags can't burn for so long, did they pile up a lot of wood?" Tang Feng was also very puzzled.
A gust of wind blew, and in addition to the sound of the beep and the explosion of things in the air, there was also a smell of burning.
Others couldn't smell what it was, but Tang Feng, who had smelled this smell, shouted with a changed face: "Damn!" These losers! Actually blocked the door with food! ”
"Grain? Oh, my God! How much grain did they pile up to form such a big flame! Everyone wailed with pity.
Why do the Shanyue people keep expanding their land? It's because the planting area is not enough! Tens of thousands of them gathered here, in addition to gnawing up the grain of the thunder, they also ate all the animals within a radius of dozens of miles, and they had to run dozens of kilometers away to harvest when hunting, and now everyone is half hungry and half full.
But the other party actually used food to block the door? It's a luxury.
"Don't wait, let's attack the other gates." Lei Ming said.
But no one listened to what he said, and there was a door that didn't go in and climb the wall? Who would be that stupid? This fire can't burn until dawn, can it? It's best to go in easily when the fire is extinguished, so why bother climbing the wall.
Lei Ming looked at Tang Feng and found that Tang Feng shook his head slightly, knowing that his uncle was unwilling to use his identity as the head of the mountain to order the leader to attack the other city gates, because it was too obvious, after all, no one was stupid. There was no way to thunder, so I had to wait with everyone.
The longer the fire is lit, the more distressed everyone becomes, because it means that the more food will be burned. Tens of thousands of people waited stupidly for hours in the dark night, and finally found that the light of the fire began to extend backwards and began to weaken.
I don't know who shouted: "Rush!" The Shanyue soldiers were immediately in chaos, and everyone rushed towards the blackened gate.
The first to rush to the gates all shouted, "Wow! It's hot! It's hot! He rushed into the city with a bang.
Originally, the Shanyue soldiers were still on guard against the enemy's ambush, but after rushing for a while and finding that there was no resistance, they immediately rushed to the location of the treasure house in their minds, that is, the center of the city.
However, the Shanyue soldiers soon found themselves disappointed, except for the shape of the street that could be seen clearly, the streets were all in ruins on both sides, and the Shanyue soldiers couldn't help muttering: "We haven't attacked once, why is this so badly corrupted?" It's not those catapults, are they? ”
The Shanyue soldiers are getting bolder and bolder, but they are also getting more and more cold, bold is that there is no enemy army at all, and the heart is cold because the whole city is in ruins!
These people have worked so hard to come here to work hard just to get this ruin? What about grain? Good food and wine, nice and warm clothes, sturdy and gorgeous houses, where are these things? Just when the Shanyue soldiers scolded their mother, a "There are a lot of things piled up at the city gate!" Grain! Wine! Weapons, clothes! It's got you covered! The news immediately reached their ears, and the Shanyue soldiers' eyes immediately lit up, and they immediately rushed to the other three city gates like a tide without the command of the leader.
Seeing the mountain of materials piled up at the city gate, the Shanyue soldiers' frustrated mood was immediately satisfied, and then no matter what the leader's charter was, he immediately pounced.
The more courageous thing is to first hold the wine jar and pour it violently, then change into warm clothes, pick up a beautiful blade and hang it on your waist, and then pick up two bags of grain and turn around and leave.
The more clever ones pulled up the brothers, found wooden planks, piled up a bunch of things, lifted them and left, no matter how coercive and tempting the head man was, these Shanyue people who lived nearby made up their minds that the things were carried home by themselves!
The Shanyue soldiers, who were stationed farther away, were more disciplined, taking the village as a unit, carrying away a batch of supplies and placing them in the corner, and then guarded them in groups, indicating to everyone that these things belonged to the owner.
In a word, the Shanyue people, who are used to being poor, can't think of anything when they see so many supplies, so they think about how to improve their family's life.
Although the leaders scolded their subordinates, as the leaders, they had to think about the tribe, otherwise they would be the leaders, and finally led people to seize a batch of supplies. When Tang Feng and Lei Ming heard the news, the distribution of spoils had been completed.
Tang Feng and Lei Ming saw this batch of Xiaoshan high materials, even if they were well-informed and noble, they still couldn't help but blush.
However, when they opened their mouths to ask, those leaders immediately threw aside their reverence for the mountain group, saying that the mountain group is a symbol of the entire Shanyue tribe, and it is too cheap to ask for materials from our small tribes, right?
As for the initiator of the robbery against Lei Ming? We don't want the city, since the biggest city has been given to you, what else do you want? That's our hard work!
Tang Feng was pressed by the big signboard of the mountain group, and he was very helpless, but he also sensed the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, too, although these people were dignified trump cards, but they died so many brothers, how could they see people without any benefits? I had to be cheeky and coercive and tempting.
Now he can't care about Lei Ming, after all, he is the head of the mountain group first, and then the tribal bloodline.
After some talking, the leaders still gave some face to the mountain group, and gave Tang Feng the armor and leftover weapons.
The members of the mountain regiment whose families have food and clothing are a little satisfied with this kind of distribution of spoils, although these weapons are a little worn, they are also seven or eight percent good, and they can be sold for a few dollars.
It's just a pity that the enemy army evacuated first, otherwise at least a batch of good goods can be intercepted, and it would be best to grab the next batch of gold coins. Thinking so, no one thought about chasing the enemy, and now running out in the dark is tantamount to looking for death!
Lei Ming begged his grandfather and grandmother, and after a performance of white-faced, black-faced, yellow-faced and green-faced, he finally got the handouts of the leaders, and got a batch of food and clothing, plus what his subordinates seized, which was a small profit. Lei Ming doesn't care about his shameless performance, and he is not afraid that he will lose the admiration of his subordinates.
He can bring benefits to the tribe, and his subordinates can only admire themselves more, where will they despise themselves? Profit is everything.
However, Lei Ming's face suddenly changed, and he said to Tang Feng with a panicked expression: "Oops! We have already asked the other tribes for reinforcements, and the minimum will be more than 100,000 by then, so how can we entertain them in this ruin? ”
Hearing this, Tang Feng immediately had a headache.
Who would have thought that the Imperial Army would actually self-destruct the buildings in the city? Seeing this scene of rubble, those reinforcements are afraid that they will not hesitate to ask for troop expenses, right? Maybe they will unite to take revenge on the tribe when they return to the tribe.
The leaders also heard Lei Ming's words, their faces changed, their eyes rolled, and they leaned forward and said with a smile: "Brother Lei Ming, look, we also helped you lay down Jin Wencheng, and the family has a hard time without us strong men, we have to rush back, so we won't talk too much and retire." With that, he turned around and left with his subordinates.
Of course, because they were afraid of being angered, they were very distressed and left another batch of food.
Looking at the rubble field that was suddenly much quieter, and then looking at the bags of food, Lei Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I thought that Jin Wencheng would help him consume those small tribes, but he didn't expect that only one or two percent was consumed, and the defenders of Jin Wencheng suddenly stopped playing and sneaking, and they also destroyed the city very viciously before leaving, so that in addition to getting an empty shell, all their other intentions were frustrated.
And the biggest trouble is what to do with the approaching army. If they were to confront the garrison division and they didn't have the money to buy them, they weren't fools, how could they resist the army for themselves.
