Chapter 318. Dirty routines
The predecessors of the great gods seem to be born siege masters, what Tongguan, Kaifeng, Waren Fortress, to their hands are like paper paste, a stab will be broken, but when it comes to Wang Hou, the siege is really fucking difficult!
As far as the eye can see, the black arrows above and below the city are shooting at each other, in the shout of Xuantian, the Cao army warriors wearing black military uniforms have blood vessels on their foreheads, and the green tendons are jumping, carrying the siege ladder and rushing to the city wall, but under the dense rain of arrows, it is an echelon of echelons that have been shot down under the city, the east city wall, finally a ladder has been put on the city wall, and the Cao Jun of the brigade has just climbed up like an ant, and then the city head has poured a large pot of hot oil.
"Ahhhhh!!hh
The terrible screams even made Wang Hou, who was a few hundred meters away, hear a cold hair on his back, no wonder Mr. Cao was reluctant to launch a siege battle with such a big advantage, the loss rate of the siege was too great!
But just when Wang Hou was slightly distracted, a young lady of the Zhuge family who was standing beside him had a condensed expression, hurriedly walked up to the command platform and pulled his sleeve violently.
"Governor! Yellow Flag! The yellow flag has appeared! ”
On the wall, suddenly behind a certain army, a yellow flag was carried by Yuan Jun, who seemed to have run in the wrong position, and recklessly ran over from a section of the city wall, and the flag was written with the word Liu, but the logo under the flag was particularly eye-catching, like a black, red and white umbrella cloth.
This is a good point for the traverser, you can add what you like at will, but others can't understand it, this umbrella is the notorious Ambrera company logo in later film and television works, and it is also used by Wang Hou as the internal symbol of the Military Statistics Survey Bureau under his command.
Deng Kai signaled!
However, at this time, Wang Hou was more concerned about Cao Pi's gaze, the hair of the man was tied up like that, and Zhuge Yingzhao, who was wearing a small brown leather armor, was obviously more heroic and wild than the aristocratic lady in the dark dress in this era, and her action of pulling Wang Hou's sleeves inadvertently made Cao Pi turn his head and look at it twice.
This father and son are both legendary married women, and there is no good thing! It is estimated that what men are most afraid of these years is to hear the beautiful warning of Mr. Cao! Your wife is beautiful! Aiming at Cao Pi's eyes, Wang Hou attached great importance to pulling Zhuge Ying's belt, who was still watching through the binoculars, and dragged her to his side, and then issued a military order to the heralds beside him.
"Send a message to General Xiahou Yuan, ask him to back back a little, and order the trebuchet troops to prepare to attack!"
Although it is said that Cao Pi supervised the battle, in fact, the front-line command is still in the hands of Xiahou Yuan, as for the trebuchet and other siege troops, Wang Hou pulled back from Qingzhou, and only listened to him alone! Cao Pi is here to gild his name.
However, this little hypocrite is also self-aware, except for frowning slightly when he watched Wang Hou hide Zhuge Ying aside, he didn't say a word about interfering with the front-line command, and raised his binoculars to watch the battlefield in full swing.
It just so happened that another pot of hot oil was poured down, and he was immediately thrown into a torch, and several Cao Jun were burned into burning people, rolling with screams and screams all over his body, but in Cao Pi's eyes, his expression did not even fluctuate at all, and it was as if just a few ants had been trampled to death in front of him.
Wang Hou also had no command over Xiahou Yuan, but fortunately, Xiahou Yuan sold him this face, and after listening to his herald's report, he called Jin on the right flank and withdrew this part of the siege force.
At the same time, in the creaking and squeaking sound, the heavy dozen or so return guns were pushed to the battlefield with difficulty in the pull of the more than 2,000 reserve troops in Qingzhou shouting their trumpets.
These cannons are all from Xuchang, and the power of the return cannon is huge enough, but the weight is its fatal flaw, and it is often several tons, and the transportation is too difficult and inconvenient! No wonder it was later replaced by artillery.
The ammunition under the return cannon was transported by the second batch of Linzi Sima Yi's baggage team, and they didn't know what to load wine barrels.
These things are not bad! People were frozen, and an hour before they were transported to the battlefield, Wang Hou ordered a large pile of hot soil to be missing, and then buried these thousands of barrels in the soil, warmed them for an hour, and only now they were dug up.
Looking at these huge barrels, this time, even Cao Pi couldn't help but be curious, and he couldn't help but ask when he saw these big barrels being loaded onto the return cannon with fear and disgust by the reservists under the order of the craftsmen in the army.
"Wang Zhoumu, what are these? A few years ago, my father said that there was a kind of powder that ignited quickly and exploded like thunder, could it be these? ”
"Back to the eldest son, the powder gunpowder is too expensive and difficult to make, and there are not so many subordinates, these are dirty bombs!"
Although looking at Cao Pi was particularly unpleasant, the courtesy was still courteous, put down the binoculars, Wang Hou also explained helplessly, and after finishing speaking, he shook his head with some regret.
"If only it were summer!"
What is a dirty bomb? Cao Pi has never heard of it, but after seeing Wang Hou's simple explanation, he didn't plan to explain it in detail, it is estimated that it is an ordinary thing, for fear of being looked down upon by him and feeling lonely, Cao Pi had to endure his curiosity and nodded with a clear look.
But in the next second, his gaze fell on Zhuge Ying in a little surprise, this chief woman of the guard was unreasonable, and now she actually laughed a little out of shape, and her little mouth was about to laugh.
What the hell is it?
In the strange atmosphere, in Cao's curious look, shouting the trumpet, the military master in charge of operating the trebuchet smashed his hammer on the trigger, and with a buzz, a large round wooden barrel was violently thrown out by the giant-like return cannon, flying out four hundred meters away, and then the parabola smashed straight towards the city.
From Yuan Jun's point of view, the Yecheng defenders had just repelled a wave of Cao Jun's tide-like attack, and they were shrinking on the head of the city and panting violently, and there was a buzzing sound in the cold air, and they raised their heads in astonishment.
With a buzz, a large wooden barrel smashed accurately on the city wall, and with a pull, it seemed to be black, and the sticky items inside splashed and scattered, splashing Yuan Jun within a range of more than ten meters nearby.
This thing neither exploded nor burned, but in Cao Pi's telescope, Yuan Jun, who was contaminated with this thing, looked extremely painful, and one by one desperately pounced on himself, and even a few of them ran to the battlement with their throats, and spit out white foam downward.
Is this thing poison?
Cao Pi couldn't help but set his eyes on the large wooden barrel that was moving heavily to the trebuchet.
