"Here comes the oil! Here comes the oil! ”

On the eastern city wall of Kunyang, a group of Brotherhood militiamen rushed up the city wall with several jars of oil.

At this time, Ishihara, Chen Gui and others were leading the county army to desperately block the gap, resisting the rebels outside the city and rushing up along the ladder board of the ladder truck.

When he heard the shouts of the Brotherhood militia, Ishihara wiped the liquid on his face, which was not known whether it was sweat or blood, and waved his arms and shouted, "This way! This way! ”

"Let one go, let one go."

Hearing the greeting, the Brotherhood militiamen squeezed over with the oil canister held high, but when Ishihara heard a 'smash', they slammed the oil tank in their hands into the ladder truck just a few feet away from the city, and the ladder board that was erected on the city wall.

"Fire oil! Kerosene! ”

The rebel soldiers on the ladder cart and on the ladder board shouted in horror, brandishing their weapons and shields to slap the oncoming oil canister away, only to hear a few bangs, and the fragile oil tank was shattered by them, and the viscous grease splattered everywhere.

"Ah——!h

The rebel soldiers who were splashed with oil immediately screamed, and the parts that were splashed immediately blistered.

It's no wonder that this is boiling oil that has just been brewed in the city.

Or a few surviving cans of oil, which also ended up hitting their target, smashing into the ladder truck outside the city.

"Throw the torch!"

Tang Hong, the commander of the county army, shouted sharply.

As soon as the words fell, several county sergeants picked up a few sticks of firewood that were still burning from the brazier on the city wall, and threw them to the ladder cart outside the city.

Even, some county guards simply held the entire brazier and poured the charcoal fire on the rebel soldiers on the ladder board, and those people on the hot ground screamed.

"Bear—"

Under the action of the firewood and charcoal, there were a few flames on the ladder and ladder cart that had been drenched with grease.

"Hurry up and put out the fire! Fire! ”

The rebel soldiers shouted loudly, desperately trying to trample on and extinguish the fire that was gradually burning, but where could the fire ignited by animal fat be easily extinguished? When you step on it, it seems to have been extinguished, but as soon as you lift your foot, the fire starts to burn again.

The same was true of the well carts outside the city, and even though many of the rebel soldiers tried desperately to beat the fire with their cloths, the fire could not be extinguished, but the cloth in their hands burned after being stained with grease.

In just a few dozen breaths, the ladder car outside the southern section of the east city wall was blazing.

Seeing that the fire could not be extinguished, the rebel soldiers on the ladder car had no choice but to jump out of the car and flee for their lives.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

The county officials on the city wall cheered in unison, and even Ishihara's face showed excitement.

After all, they got rid of what was the biggest threat to their eastern walls.

And just as they were cheering, the northern section of the city wall also resounded with the cheers of the county soldiers.

Tang Hong took the risk of holding his shield and leaned out of the city wall to take a look, and then shouted happily to the soldiers around him: "The northern section of the city wall, Chen Quhou's side has also succeeded." ”

The county guards on the city wall were even more excited, shouting long live again.

At the same time, in the gate tower of the east city wall, Wang Qing stared at the rebels outside the city with a straight face, and only when he heard the cheers of the city walls on the left and right sides of the city wall, his tense face relaxed slightly.

At this time, around him, there was also a henchman black tiger thief who told him: "Boss, the two ladder trucks have all been ignited. ”

"Good job!"

Wang Qing secretly praised in his heart, and immediately looked out of the city.

As he expected, two ladder trucks were set on fire, which caused such a big obstacle to the rebel attack that the rebels outside the city had to temporarily retreat and regroup.

"Pass the order down, don't let go!"

He gave orders with rare seriousness.

At the same time, in the west city wall of Ma Gai's responsibility, the county soldiers also burned down the two ladder cars outside the city one after another, and then cheered in unison.

While the soldiers were cheering, Ma Gai, who was standing on the lookout in front of the city gate tower, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, the greatest threat was the two ladder carts, which had now been destroyed by his county guards, and even if the rebels outside the city still had many siege ladders, they were not enough to break the defensive line on their walls as narrowly as Fang Cai.

Thinking of this, he loudly boosted morale and said, "Maintain the stubborn defense!" …… The rebels have no ladder trucks, and no matter how many ladders they have, they can't storm the walls! Our...... Win! ”

"Wow——!"

The morale of the soldiers on the city walls was greatly boosted.

If it is said that the city walls on the east and west sides were able to burn down the ladder car because they got a can of grease oil in time, and they raised their arms and cheered, then the black tiger thieves on the south city wall were scolding their mothers at this time.

The reason is very simple, because under Zhao Yu's order, the members of the Brotherhood who are responsible for refining the oil naturally give priority to supplying the oil to the east and west city walls, but there are as many as six ladder trucks outside the south city wall, which is three times that of the east and west city walls, and I can imagine the mood of those black tiger thieves on the south city wall at this moment.

But this can't be helped, because Zhao Yu has to give priority to ensuring that the city walls on the east and west sides will not fall, which is the premise of his street fighting, otherwise if the east, south, and west all fall, then there will be no room for street fighting - the rebels only need to take advantage of the advantage of breaking through the city wall and launch a joint attack from three directions, where is there still room for street fighting in Kunyang, a small county?

Therefore, the premise is to carry out street fighting, the premise is that only one city wall can be abandoned, so that there is relatively enough depth, and to give up this city wall, Zhao Yu chose the south city wall.

There is no other reason, just because the nearly 20,000 Changsha volunteers and Chen Miao's nearly 10,000 Jiangxia volunteers outside the southern city wall are undoubtedly the main force of the rebels attacking Kunyang, as long as this rebel army can be disabled and frightened, the rebels' follow-up offensive strength will undoubtedly fall to the bottom valley.

However, at the moment, they can't retreat for the time being, firstly, Zhao Yu has not yet communicated with Sun Xiu, Chen Mo and others, and secondly, Chen Cai and others in the city are not ready.

He stood up and walked outside the city gate, standing near the gate and looking around at the battle on the east and west ends of the wall.

As he estimated, the offensive of the rebels outside the city today can be called the most ferocious, and the six ladder cars outside the city are simply like a tiger for the rebels who already have many siege ladders, although the black tiger thieves on the city wall can resist for the time being, but the consumption of physical strength and the loss of troops are far from comparable to those of the previous days.

I don't know how long it took, but the shouts of the Brotherhood militia finally sounded on the city walls: "Here comes the oil!" Here comes the oil! ”

"What the hell is coming?"

"I'm waiting until my fart is cold."

In the midst of the complaints of the black tiger thieves, they threw the oil canisters one by one to the ladder trucks outside the city.

Immediately, a ladder truck burst into flames, startling the rebel generals on the ladder and urging the soldiers to extinguish the fire.

“……”

Zhao Yu glanced up at the sky, looked at the sun in the sky and frowned.

Probably sensing Zhao Yu's anxiety, Jingnu took a step forward, quietly held Zhao Yu's slightly clenched right hand with both hands, and said softly: "Young master, it's better to go to the building ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Yu shook her head.

In fact, he also understood that on the city wall at this moment, his resourcefulness was almost useless, unless he was allowed to fight and kill the enemy like a soldier.

But he still decided to stand on the lookout in front of the city gate and stabilize the morale of the army with a calm attitude.

"Wow!"

At the eastern end of the city wall, a burst of exclamations from the black tiger thief suddenly broke out, Zhao Yu turned his head to take a look, and then realized that it was Chen Mo who began to exert his power.

As the first fierce general of the Black Tiger Village, Chen Mo, who was holding a spear, actually jumped on a ladder board that hooked the city wall, and the spear in his hand was thrown back and forth, and immediately seven or eight rebel soldiers fell down the city with a scream.

"Archon! Archon! ”

The black tiger thieves on the city wall cheered in unison, cheering for their own commander Chen.

Maybe these black tiger thieves were in a good mood at the moment, but Zhao Yu was not happy at all, because Chen Mo was not a reckless general like Niu Heng and Liu Tu, as the commander of the Black Tiger Village and the commander of the brigade camp, Chen Mo knew very well that he had to perform the duty of command more often.

Now he has to take action himself, which shows that the situation is very critical.

『…… It's too fast.'

Zhao Yu frowned and observed the black tiger thief on the city wall in the distance.

Under his observation, most of the black tiger thieves were exhausted to deal with the rebel soldiers who kept rushing up the city wall, and they were out of breath one by one, on the other hand, those rebels, although the number of casualties continued to increase, but the soldiers who rushed up afterwards were full of physical strength.

Don't look at it, it seems that the black tiger thieves still have the advantage, but once their remaining physical strength is completely exhausted, then the battle situation will suddenly turn to the rebels on the opposite side.

But the problem is that the battle is so fierce that the black tiger thieves on the city wall have no chance to rotate and rest.

『…… We have to buy time!'

Glancing up at the sky, Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Brother Niu Heng, dare to go with me to reinforce the city wall, surprise the brothers, and create a chance for them to take turns and rest?" ”

“？！” The masked Jing Nu was shocked in her heart, and immediately wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Zhao Yu's action of raising her hand to stop her.

Looking at Jingnu and then at Zhao Yu, Niu Heng grinned: "We have itchy hands for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he shouted to his men, "Go and get my spear!" ”

"Yes!"

The two black tiger thieves hurriedly turned around and ran into the city gatehouse, and together they moved out an iron spear that was the thickness of a forearm.

This iron spear has a origin, it belongs to Fan Wu, a general under the command of Xu Bao who was killed by Chen Mo that day, and Chen Mo himself made it a little too heavy, so he threw it to Niu Heng.

Under the stunned gaze of the two black tiger thieves, Niu Heng held the iron spear with one hand and lifted it up, as if carrying a wooden stick, and shook it up and down twice, swaying to the ground.

"Hmm."

Nodding with satisfaction, Niu Heng shouted again: "Where's my shield?" ”

"I'm going to get it."

The two black tiger thieves woke up from a dream, turned around and ran into the city gatehouse, and from inside the building they kept an iron shield as thick as a knuckle and a half.

Niu Heng took the iron shield, put the inner sleeve on his left forearm, the shield in his left hand, and the spear in his right hand, and gestured twice, and then nodded towards Zhao Yu.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu also pulled out the sword at his waist.

"Let's go!"
