Chapter 478 Burning siege vehicles, there is a discovery

However, Xu Rong's prayers didn't seem to be of much use, and there were still two siege engines slowly moving towards him.

"Hurry up and tell General Hua and ask him to send some more fire oil to me!"

After Xu Rong saw this, he could only helplessly say to the guards beside him.

Soon cans of oil were piling up high in the east.

Xu Rong looked at the siege vehicles under the city gate, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers not use fire oil first, let it get close to burning!"

"No!" As soon as the guard's words were finished, he ran towards the surrounding soldiers as quickly as possible.

Arrows were still falling from the sky, and the cattle shop army had already raised their shields.

The dense rain of arrows beat the shield like raindrops, like a chaotic music....

The two huge siege engines slowly approached the wall of Bishui Pass in the midst of such noisy music.

One by one, the army of cattle shops also began to stop climbing the Qishui Pass, and even if they were climbing, they put the ladder far away before they began to continue the action.

Soon a blank wall appeared in front of the two siege engines....

"Take off the gravel! Raise your shield and watch out for the oil! ”

One of the soldiers shouted loudly, and the surrounding soldiers heard it and took bags of sand and gravel from the siege engine.

The rest of the soldiers raised their shields one after another, protecting their comrades who were constantly moving against the threat from the sky.

Soon, with the help of everyone, all the sand and gravel from the siege engine were removed.

At the same time, the siege engine finally reached the edge of the city wall, and one by one the wrestlers were pulling the ropes desperately pulling the battering ram towards the back.

"The pitcher threw all the oil down for me! Archers change rockets and get ready to shoot! ”

Xu Rong looked at the battering ram that was slowly pulled up and said loudly.

Whoosh... A burst of clay pots flew by, and thick fire oil flew down in the sky and scattered everywhere.

Especially on the siege vehicle, it was even more important to take care of it, and the oil continued to fall down those supports.

The whole air was filled with a strong smell of fire oil.

In the face of such choking oil, the army under the gate suddenly couldn't help but have a look of panic.

After all, if all of this oil were set on fire, I don't know how much flame it would ignite.

And looking at the coverage area of these fire oils, it is estimated that there will not be the slightest weakening in half an hour.

If you don't evacuate as soon as possible, once the flames are added, you and the others will only be buried in the flames.

"All the armor and catapults covered with gravel!"

That voice sounded again, and the originally chaotic army instantly seemed to grasp the straw that saved its life.

They grabbed the sand and gravel next to them and wiped them off their bodies, and for a while, all the smoke and dust raised by the sand and gravel were under them.

After a while, the oil that was still sticky was covered with a thick layer of sand, like a pair of armor.

Those huge siege engines were also covered with a thick layer of sand and gravel, which looked even more huge and bulky and barbaric....

Xu Rong looked at the sand and gravel that was constantly rising below the juncture, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Shoot rockets! Shoot rockets, and torches! Throw me everything you can burn! ”

Xu Rong shouted loudly

shouted, and his body kept walking around, looking very worried about the situation under the city.

"And those fire oils are being lit and thrown at me!"

As Xu Rong shouted, the whole juncture began to continuously throw everything that could be burned downward.

Unexpectedly, those cattle shop armies had already been prepared, and they had already prepared sand and gravel.

Now this layer of sand and gravel floats on the surface of the oil, like a thick protective film, making it difficult for the flame to touch the oil.

Even if it burns, it is difficult to spread quickly, and the flame is very weak.....

Xu Rong's brows furrowed even more when he thought of this.

"Go and tell General Hua to let him transport the boulder thunderwood to us more! And prepare him for the worst...."

Xu Rong gritted his teeth and said slowly.

"The rest of the people all put thunderwood on me first, smeared it with fire oil and lit it before I threw it down!"

Listening to Xu Rong's order, everyone on the gate couldn't help but be stunned, this thunder wood still has such a usage....

Although everyone's hearts were amazed, but now that everyone is on that battlefield, how can they always maintain that state of distraction.

Soon, someone lifted a jar of fire oil and poured it on the thunderwood beside him, and in an instant the ground of the city wall was sprinkled with fire oil.

As someone began to take the lead, the followers naturally followed suit, and the defenses at the juncture were weakened a lot.

Seeing this, the army under the gate was overjoyed, and began to run towards the nearest ladder beside them.

And the huge siege finally reached the highest position in the pull of everyone, with a shout.

The huge battering ram began to ram the walls with great speed under the pull of the rope.

The faint flames burning on it kept flickering as if they were cheering him on.

With two loud bangs, the two battering rams smashed the city pass, and the entire Bishui Pass seemed to tremble.

Even the soldiers around who were constantly climbing towards the juncture couldn't help but be stunned, and almost fell off the ladder....

These two loud noises soon affected the Xiliang soldiers at the juncture, and many of them almost fell to the ground because they couldn't stand on their feet.

Even many canisters of fire oil fell from the sky with this violent tremor, smashed to the ground and flowed in all directions.

Fortunately, there are only a few, otherwise I am afraid that the current juncture would have been burning.....

"Quick! Set those thunderwood on fire and throw them down for me! ”

Xu Rong leaned on the battlements and shouted loudly, although there was no change in Bishui Pass now.

But what about the second and third times? No one dares to guarantee when this water pass will be picked.

In line with the concept of striking first and then attacking, Xu Rong hurriedly let those thunder woods coated with fire oil drop first.

Soon pieces of burning thunderwood were thrown down from the Bishui Pass, and a beautiful tail crossed the sky like meteors.

finally disappeared into the dense sea of people, stoned one soldier after another, and ignited one flame after another.

"Throw all the firewood at those two catapults!"

Xu Rong looked at the battering ram that was ready to be launched again, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

For a while, all the 'shooting stars' were thrown in the direction of the two battering rams.

Numerous 'streams'

Instead of immediately igniting the huge battering ram, Star' blocked the surroundings and restricted the ram's trajectory.

Looking at the jammed battering ram, the Niupu army began to use the weapons in their hands to reason with the fire wood that was blocking.

However, the speed of the cleanup was not as fast as the speed of throwing at the juncture, and soon the huge battering ram was burning under the background of the billowing flames.

Looking at the behemoth that burned violently, Xu Rong's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when he noticed the surrounding environment, he realized that many enemies had already climbed to the top of the city.

It turned out that Fang Cai's battering ram attracted most of Xu Rong's attention, so he didn't notice that the climbing ladder here was about to climb the city.

"Quick! Everybody put these people down for me! What about the shieldholder? Hurry up and press it on me! ”

Xu Rong pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly as he kept rushing towards the nearest chaotic point.

Soon, as those shield bearers quickly stepped forward, those soldiers who were lucky enough to get to the top were pressed down again.

Such a scene was staged one by one at the entire juncture of the water, and the shouts of killing continued to rise to the sky, causing the crows in the sky to continue to hover.

"General, our siege engines in the east are all damaged!"

Behind the Niupu army, a soldier ran to Zhang Ji's side and said respectfully.

"Huh? Is it a siege engine from the east? ”

After Zhang Ji heard the guard's words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

It stands to reason that if Bishui Pass is normal, the weakest place is, of course, the city gate.

Therefore, every siege vehicle is used at the city gate, even if it is used in other places, it must be the siege vehicle at the city gate that is exterminated first.

"General Hui, it was the two siege vehicles east of Bishui Pass that were burned, and the soldiers of our army rushed to the juncture during this period, and they were quickly suppressed at that time!"

The soldier also said seriously, with a serious look in his eyes.

"I see...."

Zhang Ji was about to say something when another soldier hurriedly ran over.

"General, the siege vehicles at the city gate have been burned, and General Ma has come to ask if we have any siege vehicles that we can use!"

"Huh? And are there any siege vehicles? ”

At this time, Zhang Ji had to admit that the first one to be burned first was indeed the siege vehicle in the east....

"Hurry up and inform General Niu and General Ma, and tell them that I have found the shortcomings of Bishui Pass. Let them quickly retreat and return to the camp to discuss countermeasures! ”

After a long time, Zhang Ji suddenly thought of something, and said happily to the two guards beside him.

The surrounding guards couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Zhang Ji's words, now is the best time to attack Bishui Pass.

But now Zhang Ji wants them to tell Ma Teng and Niupu to retreat, which looks like an act of death no matter how you look at it.

"Why don't you go quickly!"

Zhang Ji looked at the guards who were still inactive and said with some displeasure.

There was no way at this time, so those guards had no choice but to follow Zhang Ji's order and run quickly in the direction of Ma Teng and Niu Pu.

However, what they didn't expect was when they heard that Zhang Ji had found the shortcomings of Bishui Pass.

Without saying a word, Niu Pu and Ma Teng quickly withdrew back with their troops, completely ignoring the fact that now they had the upper hand......
