Chapter 566: Siege (1)
It was another palm to avoid Li Yu, Hong Xiuquan retreated, and Li Yu also temporarily stopped his attack, because he found that although Hong Xiuquan in front of him was not lethal enough, his exercises were extremely difficult, like a disgusting kraft candy, and he couldn't get rid of it if he couldn't be killed.
Li Yuleng snorted, turned around and retreated, while supervising Hong Xiuquan in the sky, as long as Hong Xiuquan made a move, he would entangle Hong Xiuquan.
In this war, neither of them wants to meddle in the battle below.
Li Yu is still very confident in the battle situation, and the army under his command will definitely be able to break through the capital city of Jiangzhou.
Although Wang Hua pushed off a ladder, there was more than this ladder on the city wall, countless ladders were densely built on the city tower, and more ladders climbed up.
Wang Hua commanded loudly: "Don't panic, the soldiers with forks continue to push down the ladder, and the archers throw arrows!"
The walls were wide enough to accommodate several carriages on them, so the archers standing in the back were in the rear, and there was a cowhide shed above to block the arrows fired by the soldiers of the Dahong Dynasty below, so they were not afraid of enemy attacks, but the archers on the city wall could shoot arrows from the opening.
For a while, the arrows fell, coupled with the acceleration at a height of hundreds of meters, each arrow was like the life-saving hook of the god of death, frantically seizing the lives of the soldiers of the Great Hung Dynasty.
The enemy forces above were able to block most of the arrows using a canopy-like structure made of cowhides and other animal skins.
The general below immediately ordered: "Change the arrow, use the incendiary arrow!" The cowhide can slow down the impact well, but the resistance to flames is not so high, and the flames formed after the cowhide and animal skin are burned will cause secondary damage to the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
At the same time, the generals of the Dahong Dynasty below replaced the stones on the trebuchet with black oil cans, which were as black as ink.
Pull the trebuchet back with all your might, then the torch in your hand is a little downward.
"Boom!"
The oil tank exploded in an instant, turning into a raging flame.
Almost as soon as it ignited, the trebuchet slammed into release.
"Whew!"
A graceful trajectory swept through mid-air and smashed into the shed made of animal hides and cowhides on the castle tower.
Wang Hua decisively ordered: "Sprinkle water on the animal skin shelter! Quick!" A soldier stood up the ladder, then took the basin and bucket from the hands of his companions below, and poured the water inside on the surface of the shed.
Originally, some places that were still burning stopped burning as soon as they touched the surface of the water.
The resistance of the skins to flames is greatly increased, but the contents of the oil cans are different from ordinary flammable materials, and although the speed of burning the skins is greatly slowed down after contact with water, the burning area is not extinguished, but the burning area is expanded due to the increase in water sources.
And because the burning area expanded, billowing heat was formed, and after a while, the people below felt that the temperature in the air had risen by several degrees.
Quite a few sweat broke out on their cheeks.
Wang Hua squinted, his head quickly turned the way to deal with it, and suddenly Wang Hua suddenly jumped up and turned his right hand into a punch and hit the animal skin greenhouse above, the place where it was hit suddenly shrank inward, and then shook outward, the animal skin greenhouse continued to send out trembling ripples, and the next moment it seemed like a monster's huge mouth suddenly swallowed.
The fire oil that remained above the animal skin shed in this area was instantly shaken out, and turned into a cloud of fire in mid-air and fell to the city.
The falling fire oil hit many soldiers of the Great Hung Dynasty, and the clumps of fire oil could not be extinguished at all, and the residue on their bodies continued to burn, burning these soldiers screaming and rolling on the ground.
"You can smash the skin shed above you like I did, but you can just use the force of the shock to shake the oil above you away. ”
Subsequently, many soldiers on the city wall imitated Wang Hua's behavior, and for a while, the big killing weapon prepared by the Dahong Dynasty caused a lot of trouble to themselves.
Seeing this scene, Hong Xiuquan showed a smile of relief on his face, he really didn't see the wrong person! This Wang Hua is really a talent.
Li Yu's face sank, and he frowned and glanced at Wang Hua, who was constantly inspiring the army and directing the soldiers to defend on the city wall.
However, the soldiers of the Great Hung Dynasty were well-trained, and although they suffered heavy casualties, their morale was not affected in any way for the time being, but because of the stimulation of the battlefield environment, they became more warlike.
Groups of soldiers of the Great Hung Dynasty rushed forward one after another, holding a shield in their left hand to cover their heads, climbing the ladder with their right arms, and straddle their weapons around their waists, with fierce faces.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"The general has an order, the first person to climb the city tower will be rewarded with 10,000 baht, and the captain will be promoted by two levels, and the captain will be promoted by one level!"
Hearing this, it was as if they had been injected with a stimulant, and the soldiers of the Great Hung Dynasty screamed with excitement, almost crazy.
A muscular soldier with a short axe at his waist, brass armor, and a pitch-black one-horned helmet on his head, a surging muscle that surged upwards like a streamlined perfect muscle, like a nimble long ape.
From time to time, among the other ladders around, comrades were shot down, or the ladders were knocked away, or the reverse beard nails fell from above, the reverse beard nails chose a thick wooden stake, and then around the wooden stake were nailed with dense reverse nails, the reverse beard nails were three feet long, like willow leaves, but there was a hook, and the terrifying impact formed by falling from the top of the city tower was enough to make these hooks a terrifying weapon.
As long as it is hooked, a large piece of flesh and blood will be hooked off, or a deep furrow will be directly torn out of the body, or even directly hooked off the ladder, and then fall below and have an intimate hug with the reverse beard.
It seems that he is lucky, the soldier's eyes are full of excitement, the corners of his mouth are hooked upward, and the companions around him have fallen a lot, but he has already climbed most of the ladder.
There was a low roar in his throat, and his body was slightly downward, and then the muscles in his body continued to tremble, and the power around his body exploded wildly, and then he leaped upwards and galloped.
"Kill, kill!" "Hurry, hurry, this is the moment!"
The soldier's eyes showed an excited look, he saw the spear stabbed diagonally from the side, waved the shield of his left hand to block the spear, and swiped his left arm to the side to guide the spear in the other direction, and then the soldier shouted angrily and put his right arm on the edge of the cold city wall.
Then with a hard push of his arm, the whole person jumped upward.
I'm the first, haha-
The soldier's eyes widened and a series of indecipherable sounds came out of his throat, followed by a scream from the rest of the soldiers below.
