Chapter 816: Attack

King Jiaye XVI was frightened and crazy, urging various places to quickly send troops to support.

And today's Grand Duchy of Kiev is not in troubled times, and it naturally does not dare to disobey the king's orders.

Soon, after receiving the order, they hurried to the outside of the imperial capital with a large army.

Seeing the soldiers of the Xinghan Dynasty stationed there, they didn't dare to attack.

Because Jiaye 16 gave strict orders, he entered the city first after he came, and said that as for fighting or something, it was better to wait for the army to gather and discuss.

In fact, the main reason is that Jiaye XVI is afraid.

At this time, the people have not yet arrived, so they will go up and fight one when they come, what if they go up and die one by one?

In the end, didn't you lose yourself?

So after thinking about it, it is better to let the army all converge and find a way to fight to the death with the other party.

Soon, the last reinforcements entered the city.

Jiaye XVI breathed a sigh of relief, and fortunately, the armies outside had no intention of stopping them.

Even watched these reinforcements enter the city one by one.

This made some generals feel strange and a little puzzled.

"I always feel that the situation is a little wrong, if it were me, seeing that the other party has more and more reinforcements, how can I be indifferent and watch the other party's reinforcements increase? In any case, troops should also be sent to surround and harass it, right? ”

The general came to the city wall, looked at the camp in the distance, and felt that something was wrong.

A general who came up with him also nodded lightly when he heard this at this moment.

"Yes, when I entered the city before, I also saw an enemy spy, and the other party just watched us enter the city, as if he was quite happy, counting the number of reinforcements on our side, looking at the strange in my heart."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals on the side became even more gloomy.

What he said really made him feel weird in his heart, and he didn't know what the other party was doing.

At this moment, the sun has gradually set, and it can be clearly seen here that some bright lights seem to be gradually lit up in the other party's camp.

"What's that, it doesn't look like a campfire?"

Looking at the firelight over there, one person asked puzzled.

"Oh, it's probably the other party's hot air balloon, this is what I inquired about before, a thing that can fly into the sky, it's nothing."

Someone on the side heard this, looked at it carefully, and waved his hand indifferently, indicating that this thing was nothing and didn't need to care.

Hearing this, the questioner nodded his head and stopped paying attention to the matter.

Since everyone else said that there was nothing wrong, it should really be no problem.

I just don't know why, he looked at the things over there, and he still felt something was wrong.

And at this moment, on the side of the camp, Bai Yi looked at the clearing, and countless hot air balloons had begun to prepare.

There is also a neatly arranged fire oil on the side.

This imperial capital is extremely huge, and I am afraid that it will be lifted into the air several times tonight, and all this fire oil will be poured into it.

According to the observation in the past few days, the reinforcements that the other party can come should have already arrived, and there should be no reinforcements in the future.

In that case, we can start moving tonight.

The oil began to be carried into the baskets, and the soldiers began to get busy.

After waiting for so many days, it was finally time to make a move, and to be honest, they had been waiting for a long time.

"There have been too many soldiers recently, and all of those soldiers are crowded together, and the big battalion inside is extremely crowded, so let's attack this place first."

According to the plan, the general explained to the soldiers the plan for today's move.

In the past few days, they have made a combat strategy based on the arrangement of the opponent's camp and the intelligence they have obtained.

The soldiers listened and nodded repeatedly, indicating that they already knew how to deal with it.

Seeing that the soldiers were already clear, the general was not talking nonsense.

Little by little, time passed.

Hot air balloon over, in fact, is still more troublesome, many check a lot of things, in addition to preparation.

By the time it was ready, the moon had risen high.

Then, at the sound of an order, the hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky and disappeared into the night, and from a distance it seemed to be just a star.

Bai Yi looked at this scene, looking at the city wall in the distance, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

With this thing, it is indeed too convenient to siege a city or something.

At least it's not like in the past, taking the lives of his own soldiers to fill such a hole.

Now the hot air balloon flies up, and when the time comes, it will pour down the oil and enough for the other party to drink a pot.

When the time comes, it is attacking with artillery, and the opponent who will definitely be able to hit it will not be able to touch the north.

That way, the rest of the matter is much simpler.

You just need to put the finishing touches on it, and there's basically no problem.

And the soldiers defending the city in the distance, some people also saw the hot air balloon rising from this side.

Since I've seen each other many times before, and I haven't seen any threat from the other party, I don't care anymore.

In the dark night, the soldiers on the hot air balloon began to pour the oil down little by little.

This is against the other side's barracks.

Over the past few days, the other party has supported a lot of soldiers, and roughly calculated, the number of soldiers on the other side has reached as much as 500,000!

That's a terrifying number, and at a glance you can see the dense camp below.

At this time, Jiaye XVI was not happy.

This is because so many reinforcements have come.

Even if the enemy army outside is strong, it is impossible to fight so many people!

Tomorrow, he will be ready to attack, let all the soldiers charge, and directly crush the other side!

The other party's artillery or something, it's really powerful.

But if you rush into the opponent's camp, you think that the opponent's artillery is just a decoration.

This is the solution that his men can observe.

This thing can't be used in a place of war?

In addition, the other party did not wear any armor, and if it was a close combat, their side still took advantage of a lot.

Therefore, he felt that an army of 500,000 was enough to fight the other party!

Defeat the opponent's main force, capture the opponent's weapons, and then have the ability to fight back.

Thinking of this, Jiaye XVI, who was sitting on the throne at the moment, was even happier in his heart.

Soon, however, a guard hurried in at this time, with an indescribable panic on his face.

"Oh no, the enemy is in!"

The guard's face was full of panic, as if at this time, he had seen something that terrified him extremely much.

When Jiaye XVI heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "What are you afraid of, we have so many armies!" Moreover, there was no cannon sound, how could the other party come in? ”

Although Jiaye XVI didn't know anything about fighting, he still knew a little truth, that is, when he chose to come at night when he attacked the city?

If you say, it's okay to sneak up in the early hours of the morning.

But at this time, it was only nightfall, and a sneak attack was completely impossible!

The guard's face was horrified, "The other party's hot air balloon, the other party's hot air balloon sprinkled a lot of oil on it, and burned all our military camps!" ”

Standing in the palace, the guards could see a fire in the camp in the distance, and after hearing the information, they immediately panicked.

No one thought that the hot air balloon, which originally seemed harmless to humans and animals, actually had such a great ability, and directly began to use this thing to start attacking.

When Jiaye XVI heard this, he was stunned.

"What did you say, kerose?"

He knew this thing, he had bought some of it before, and then used it to quell the rebels, which was extremely useful.

It's just, how could this thing be poured into the camp?

"Hot air balloon, the other party used a steam balloon with fire oil, and then dumped it into the camp!"

The guard said breathlessly.

Jiaye XVI's figure flickered, and then he ran outside in a panic.

Soon, he could clearly see the fire spreading in the distance.

The firelight was too big, and it was too bright, and it directly illuminated that part of the place.

"Quick, let people put out the fire!"

Jiaye XVI was anxious and hurriedly said.

At this moment, there were already ministers who hurriedly ran in, and when they heard this, they said with a sad face, "King, this fire oil can't be doused with water, I'm afraid I can only wait for him to burn out!" ”

Some people still know how powerful the oil is.

If a person touches a point, it is not over until it is burned cleanly, and there is nothing to burn.

And if so, in fact, this person is already dead.

Jiaye XVI finally panicked, and was a little overwhelmed, "The army, what about the army?" What about the Great Army? ”

The minister bowed his head and did not speak.

The big battalion over there was on fire, and it was soon connected together, and not many soldiers ran out.

Moreover, at the beginning, these soldiers still wanted to extinguish the fire, and did not think about escaping at the first time, so the number of survivors was even smaller.

Jiaye XVI's face was pale, 500,000 troops!

There's 500,000 of his army over there!

"King, let's hide first, the other party has hot air balloons and fire oil, I don't know if they will attack here."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt it, as if something had fallen down.

When the minister saw this scene, his face suddenly changed.

"Fire oil, it's fire oil!"

Such a pungent smell immediately frightened him, and he hurriedly beckoned the guards on the side and fled with the king.

The other party is already eyeing this side, if you don't run, don't think about being able to run away when the fire starts!

When Jiaye 16 heard this, he was also frightened and fled in a panic.

At this moment, Bai Yi outside the city was holding a telescope, looking at the scene in the city in the distance, watching the fire break out, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Why, it stands to reason that before it started burning, it burned a little too fast and was completely exposed."

Several generals on the side also nodded again and again when they heard this.

According to their plan, they first poured more fire oil, and when it was almost ready, they began to light the fire, and at that time, even if the other party found out, there was no way to do it.

But now, it's catching fire a little too quickly.

Soon, soldiers came back to report.

"Reported, when the oil was dumped, it touched the campfire in the camp, causing the fire to burn out in advance."

In the barracks, there are a lot of bonfires, which are used as a lighting tool in case someone sneaks in from attacking, or when emergency preparations are needed at night.

Pouring fire oil in the air, the poured fire oil can easily be blown everywhere and then spilled on the side of the campfire.

In this way, it is not surprising that the fire started early.

When Bai Yi heard this, he nodded suddenly, if this was the case, it was no wonder that they didn't come according to the plan.

It's completely unplanned.

Moreover, it is indeed a little difficult to control the oil from being dumped on the side of the campfire.

"That's it, since it's been exposed in advance, let's start, let the people in the artillery battalion start."

The previous observation made the artillery side already have several bombing targets.

The calculations are also ready, and when they start, just start bombing.

The artillerymen soon received the news, and the soldiers who were sitting on the side resting, looking at the city in the distance with a comfortable face, and still chatting, immediately got up one after another, and began to load ammunition in an instant.

Soon, a roar sounded, and then I saw the city in the distance, and it began to be lively again.

On the city walls, the soldiers looked at the fire that had ignited in the city, and their faces were full of consternation.

"Who said the hot air balloon was okay before!"

A soldier gritted his teeth and said, he could see clearly that the hot air balloon on the fire was still falling something.

And these things, after they hit the fire, these fires climbed directly into the air along these liquids, and almost burned directly to this hot air balloon.

Seeing this scene, they didn't know that it was clearly the hot air balloon that poured fire oil down, and then let this raging fire burn in the city!

Looking at the wails in the fire, countless people felt a chill in their hearts and turned pale.

The hot air balloon continued, and the fire spread.

Someone tried to put out the fire with water, but it couldn't be extinguished at all, and the water poured into it, and there was no reaction at all.

And the hot air balloon above, at this time, has begun to dump fire oil into other places.

The fiery serpent began to crawl out in a monder way, looking extremely hideous.

Then, in the roar of the fire, under the illumination of the fire, countless places could be seen, and they were directly bombed.

These places are the residences of some ministers, or more important places, and one of them is still an armory, which was actually bombed!

Finished!

The soldiers were pale, staring at this scene blankly, the other party just made a random move, their side has already suffered such heavy losses, how to fight next?

The hearts of the soldiers were already full of disappointment, and their fighting spirit was completely crushed at this moment.
