Chapter 517: The Battle of the Military Fort (Part II) - The Third Update
"Bang! One two three! Bang! One two three!! β
With a shout, a group of Yuan soldiers carried the crashing wood and hit the gate of the military fort one by one, and the bamboo cement gate made a dull sound with the impact, and a little dust fell from time to time, but there was no sign of being knocked open, and it still stood firmly there.
"Ming Gong, look, the Yuan army is attacking our military fort."
On the mountain, Guo Jia said to Ma Qiang with a telescope.
"Ant-attached siege? No matter how many ants there are, can they gnaw stones? Ma Qiang shook his head, not at all optimistic that the unprepared and unequipped Yuan army would be able to break through his military fort with a bumper log.
You know, when this military fort was built, it was worried that the other party would go out to throw the car, so the thickness.... It's just over half a meter.
Don't talk about hitting wood, even if it's a small steel cannon, don't even think about smashing this thing open.
Ma Qiang had confidence in the military fort, but Li Jie and the others in the fort were frightened for a while.
There are tens of thousands of people outside, and there are more than 30 in this military fort, once it is breached, it will not be enough for a Ip Man to fight ten... Wait, who is Ip Man?
But after a dozen bumps outside, except for the sound of a bang, the sergeant in the fort found that the fort door was fine at all, and there was not even a crack from the inside, and immediately relaxed.
"They're up on a ladder!"
"Poke it down!" Li Jie picked up the spear on the side and came to the shooting hole, and when he saw someone approaching, he stabbed it out.
It was convenient for Li Jie and the others to use spears inside, but the sergeants outside were holding the ladder with one hand and trying to insert the spear through the shooting hole with the other hand, which was too difficult.
It's simply the difficulty factor of an acrobatic show.
Poof! Poof! Yuan Jun climbed up one by one, and one by one was stabbed down, and the other two military forts were the same, after half a quarter of fierce fighting, Yuan Jun still couldn't enter the military fort.
A few lucky ones made it to the top of the fort, but they were surprised to find... There is no way to do this.
No, there seems to be a seam in one place, and there are holes... Oh! Spear!
"Again! Give it to me again!! Hold their spears with their shields, "Tao Sheng is anxious to see below, where is there no progress, this is a completely one-sided massacre, he doesn't dare to say whether there are injuries in the castle now."
"Team rate, they're coming up again, all around, and they're all holding shields!"
"Squad rate, they blocked our shooting holes, we couldn't stab them."
"Damn, I'm still addicted, throw me fire oil! Burn his mother! β
One by one, the boxes were opened and filled with clay pots, each of which had a volume of about one liter, in groups of nine, sealed with wax, and it was not easy to transport all the way.
It's filled with things that I don't know whether to call it diesel, gasoline, or kerosene.
Because diesel, gasoline, and kerosene are all obtained by petroleum distillation, according to the different boiling points, the fractions of different boiling ranges are intercepted respectively to obtain different oils, but this division is useful for various industries in later generations, but for Ma Qiang, it can be burned, and he uses this thing as an incendiary bomb.
Therefore, the name written on the box is called fire oil.
"Open the throwing mouth, throw!"
Several of the concealed throwing ports were forcefully pulled apart, and unlike the horn-shaped shooting holes, this one was round, which happened to be larger than the clay pot.
"Lost!"
Bang dang~
"Lost! Drop it! Prepare the torches! β
Tao Sheng looked at the besieged military fort behind and threw out one clay pot after another, the clay pot smashed on the ground and broke and flowed out of black and brown liquid, and some of the smashed people on their heads directly drenched people.
Although few people in Yuan Shaojun had seen this oil of fire, it did not delay Tao Sheng from guessing what was going to happen next.
"Quick! Hurry up and call it in! Tao Sheng shouted to the herald on the side, but saw the herald looking at the other side with his mouth wide open, ignoring himself.
Tao Sheng was about to slap the past, when he heard extremely miserable screams and wails, he turned his head to look, only to see that a raging fire suddenly burned under the military fort, and several unlucky ghosts who had just been doused had turned into fire people rolling wildly, seeing that they couldn't be saved, in the face of such a scene, five hundred sword and shield soldiers ran away with their heads in their hands, where did they dare to fight again.
Seeing the collapse of the shield array, the sergeants in the military fort hurriedly picked up their bows and crossbows, and shot indiscriminately at the fleeing sergeants.
"Bastard! I see that the enemy's arrows are extremely sparse, and there are only 100 sergeants in the fort, but you actually folded more than 100 people for me. "Yan Liang is going crazy, this is the first battle, it is like this, do you want to fight later?
There was a sergeant on the side to get people, Tao Sheng hurriedly begged for mercy, "General, spare your life, you have also seen, although the military fort of the Zhenbei Army is not big, it is extremely strong, with bows and crossbows, fire oil, this thing is similar to an iron king, we don't even have a place to start." β
Saying that, Tao Sheng's subordinates also hurriedly helped and begged for mercy.
Yan Liang said in other words, where can he kill Tao Sheng, Tao Sheng is Zhang Yan's person, Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao are not superiors and subordinates, but partners, if Yan Liang really wields a knife, Tao Sheng's subordinates have to reverse first.
"General, I don't think it's better to go around, anyway, there are only more than 100 of them, and they don't dare to come out at all, let's send a few hundred more people to watch them, dig tunnels and fight from the ground, they will definitely be able to break!"
Don't let them affect the big picture. β
It was Li Pan who was sent by Yuan Shao to serve as a military advisor to Yan Liang, that is, the original Wei County Guard, and he also contributed a lot to Han Fu's concession of Jizhou, so he didn't dare to vote for Ma Qiang at all, so he could only follow Yuan Shao to retreat to Bingzhou.
Yan Liang nodded when he heard this, he also felt that these military forts were extremely tricky, and he didn't know what these military fort doors were made of, how they were like stones.
"Tao Sheng! You order five hundred people to watch this military fort, and the others bypass him and continue to Yecheng! β
Fortunately, this area is all plains, although the farmland has just been turned over the soil, and it is inconvenient for cars and horses to walk, but it is better than being stuck here.
Li Jie saw that Yan Liang's soldiers and horses began to detour, and snorted and said, "These cowards, are you cowardly?" Bah! Open the doors of the zenith and we go out to laugh at them. β
It took almost two minutes to open the door of the zenith, and Li Jie took the sergeant to the zenith and shouted loudly at Yan Liangjun in the distance.
Yan Liang heard the shout, and saw Li Jie, who was taking off his pants and slapping his ass on the military fort not far away, and he was so angry that he almost broke the reins.
"General, this is their trick to lure the enemy, don't be fooled."
Yan Liang snorted at Li Pan, "How can I not know the small skills of carving insects." β
"Newspaper!! General, there are three more small bunkers on the side of the road three miles ahead! β
"And?"
Yan Liang looked at the direction of Yecheng, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, it wouldn't be like this all the way.
Brother Wenchou... I kind of want to go home.
