The Dongzhou sergeant on the ladder was also battle-hardened, and he smelled the viscous liquid that flowed down from the ladder and stuck to his hands, and his face was shocked.

"It's fire oil! Get out of here! ”

"Retreat! Remove! ”

The soldiers who had just stepped on the ladder jumped directly off the ladder, and the soldiers who had climbed to the top also climbed down in a panic.

"Ignition! Throw torches! ”

At the top of the city, torches flickered and flickered from the fire, and the light of the fire looked particularly bright when the sky was slightly dark, but this kind of fire became a talisman for the rebels who were stuck on the ladder and did not advance or retreat.

Swish!

The soldiers watched as the sparks from the torches splashed onto the ladder, which was drenched in fire oil and ignited at the touch of a button!

It was a burst of fire that devoured the lives of hundreds of rebels. A smell of barbecue meat permeated from the city, but the smell of human flesh was sour, and Li Yan could smell the sour smell in the city. (I've never eaten human flesh, that's what the internet says anyway!) ）

Li Yan leaned against the wall, there was a desire to vomit, this smell was really sour, even the big man who had not taken a bath for several months during the war did not have this smell more 。。。。。。

Many defenders in the city who had not experienced the war had already vomited, and they had such physical qualities.

Pang Le looked at the burning ladder with a gloomy face.

"Hit the wood! Give it to me! ”

"Ladder! Don't be afraid! They don't have much kerosene! ”

A group of soldiers rushed forward carrying a thick log, and the outside of the wood was wrapped in a layer of iron, which strengthened the impact of the wood.

What is Timber Bumping?

Crash into wood, crash into parts on the car. Bright. Wang Qi's "Three Talents Tuhui - Instrument with Five - Crash Diagram" said: "Degree crash: set up a crash wood, wrap its head with iron leaves, migrate one by one, and wait for the flying ladder to come to the city, then hit it." ”

To put it bluntly, it's the piece of wood on the siege vehicle. The person holding is called hitting the wood, the car is called crashing, and the more advanced is called rushing the car. There is no way, it was decided to raise troops temporarily, it was good to have a piece of iron wrapped in a crashing wood, if he really relied on the cloud ladder to carry out the ant-attached siege method, the 8,000 people of his West Gate might not be able to break the city after they finished fighting.

The second batch of ladders came up, and the defenders of the West Gate were only 2,000 people in total, and it was impossible for all of them to be archers, so they couldn't stand the strength of the rebels, and the second batch of ladders set up the city wall again.

Li Yan personally fought on the front line with a ring head knife, commanding the defenders in the front row to hide under the wall battlements and raid the soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the ladder.

After the besieging army set up the ladder, the soldiers climbed upwards one after another, while the defenders on top dropped heavy objects such as stones and wooden blocks to knock the besieging soldiers down. Many people can't help but wonder when they see these images: why don't the soldiers defending the city just push the ladder down?

In fact, if it is impractical to really push by hand, you have to use some tools. The ancients guarded the city with a fork that was three to five meters long and could push the ladder down.

As for pushing by hand?

First of all, the ancient city walls are generally about ten meters, and the ladder must be more than ten meters, I believe that friends with a certain knowledge reserve should want to get it, a ten-meter ladder plus so many soldiers climbing on it, it must be very heavy, if you spend a lot of time to push the ladder is simply impractical.

At the same time, if a group of people blindly push the ladder, it will definitely become the key target of the enemy's archers, and it is very easy to be shot, once shot, it is very unfavorable to the terrain of the city, and it may also encounter the enemy on the ladder. And the enemy army will also use battering rams to hit the city gates, so that the defenders of the city will inevitably take care of one or the other in order to defend, and they will not be able to concentrate their forces to push the ladder.

Li Yan's idea was to kill some of the ladder soldiers first, reduce the weight and then push the ladder down.

Li Yan's idea was undoubtedly correct, and the cloud ladder was directly pushed down by the soldiers defending the city with a long fork. Once the ladder falls, it is more difficult to build it up again than before, after all, you have to lift the ladder before you can find a way to build it.

Subsequently, Li Yan divided 200 people from the city wall to block the city gate with his body to prevent the city gate from being knocked open by the wood. At the same time, Li Yan also asked the stone and rolling wood to focus on taking care of the crashing wood under the city.

Although there is still fire oil in the city, it is not much after all, if it is used up at one time, it will not be used next time, and he must keep a reserve.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the rebels under the city.

"Go first! Go first! Go first! ”

But before they could finish shouting, a dead body flew down from the city, and Peng fell to the ground, hitting his head first, and his brain burst.

It was Li Yan, who saw that not far from him, a rebel soldier happened to poke his head out, and then pressed the battlements and turned over and climbed the city wall.

Without hesitation, Li Yan rushed forward and cut off the head of the rebel soldier with a swing of his knife. The headless corpse was kicked down by Li Yan and fell straight from the city tower, but the blood that splattered out was still sprinkled on Li Yan's face.

Li Yan didn't care about wiping it, and just turned around and was about to go to support other places, when he saw a spear poking in from outside the battlement. He hurriedly dodged away, and saw another rebel soldier, climbing the battlement, and jumped up to the top of the city.

But if one person goes up to the top of the city, there will be a second, a third, and even a fourth, or a fifth.

Beginning with this rebel soldier, more and more rebel soldiers climbed the tower one after another.

"Fuck! Drive this group of thieves down to Lao Tzu! ”

Li Yan has always been gentle and elegant, and under the baptism of war, the anger and murderous aura on his body also increased, making his temperament irritable, and even burst out foul language.

Li Yan's own soldiers looked at him dumbfounded, and even after coming back to their senses, they continued to fight with Li Yan, but they all held back a smile on their faces.

Li Yan kept shouting, and led his guards along the aisle at the head of the city, running all the way, and the ring knife in his hand slashed fiercely again and again, cutting the rebel soldiers who tried to intercept him into a pool of blood.

I don't know how long it took to kill, Li Yan swung his knife and cut off a piece of his robe and wrapped it in his hand, and then held the blood-stained ring head knife.

Ringhead knives are very heavy, so it's easy to get out of your hands when you raise your knife to slash at an enemy, especially if the hilt is covered in blood, or if you can't fight anymore because of personal injuries. Therefore, many soldiers will bring a strip of cloth and wrap it around their hands or the handle of the knife, which can increase the friction between the soldier's palm and the hilt, and at the same time will suck away the blood, and will not make the soldier feel sticky and slippery in his hand, so that the knife will not easily come off.

This was reflected in the broadswords of Chinese soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War, with a red cloth tied directly to the handle.
