Chapter 931: Gao Wan on the Verge of Desperation (Second Update)
Outside Gaowan City, the Zhao army camped.
Li Mu stood quietly on top of his chariot, watching more than a dozen earth-shattering thunderbolts pass through the sky, and then exploded in the head and in the city of the Qi people.
Bursts of smoke and dust rose from the city of Qi people, and Li Mu could even see the fires at the head of the city.
After discovering this way of throwing the Heaven-Shaking Thunder into the city with trebuchets, the craftsmen of the Zhao army seemed to have discovered the New World at once.
These days, Zhao Jun's craftsmen have developed another weapon called the fire oil bomb, which contains a black thing called fire oil in a jar, which burns violently as soon as it touches the fire.
Previously, the fire oil was mainly used by Zhao Jun as one of the ignited items of the rocket, but now, Zhao Jun has found a new way to use it.
Although the fierce fire oil could not blow up the city wall, it could cause a large number of casualties to the Qi soldiers on the city wall like the earth-shattering thunder projectile.
It is precisely because of this that although the Zhao army's offensive against Gaowan City is still not going so smoothly these days, Li Mu can feel that the combat effectiveness of the Qi army in the city is also being rapidly reduced, and it seems that the time to break the city will not be too far away.
"It's been almost four months...... Li Mu looked up at the sun above his head, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
It was still spring when the city was first surrounded, and now summer was almost completely over.
Siege is a very, very time-wasting thing.
"It would be nice if one day we could directly collapse these walls with earth-shattering thunder." Li Mu thought to himself in his heart.
Li Mu had a very strong premonition, that is, his wish would come true sooner or later.
In Gaowan City, it is a different scene.
Zhou Fen, the chief general of the Qi army and the prime minister of the Qi State, sat in the room, with an extremely tired look on his face.
Opposite him was Kuang Liang, who had already recovered from his injuries, Kuang Liang looked as if he had just withdrawn from the battlefield, and his whole face was black several times, and there was still a bit of gunsmoke on his body.
"How's the battle going today?" Zhou Fen asked.
As soon as the words came out, Zhou Fen suddenly felt a little frightened, because he found that his voice had become extremely hoarse at some point, almost so low that it was inaudible.
Kuang Liang shrugged his shoulders, and a somewhat helpless wry smile appeared on his face: "Zhou Qing, the earth-shattering thunder and fire oil bombs of the Zhao people are really too ...... It was so powerful that now the morale of our army has suffered a very serious setback, and all the soldiers regard the defense of the city as a daunting path. If this continues, the situation will not be good for us. ”
Zhou Fen slapped the table and said angrily: "These cowardly and fearful things!" The earth-shattering thunder and fierce fire oil are not infinite, could it be that the people of Zhao Guo launched dozens of them every day, and they were scared of their courage? ”
Although Zhou Fen didn't know how many sky-shaking thunders and fire oil bombs there were in Zhao Guoren's camp, Zhou Fen knew one thing very well, that is, Zhao Guoren's sky-shaking thunder and fire oil bombs were limited, otherwise Zhao Guo would have indiscriminately covered and attacked the city head of Gaowan City a long time ago.
Since it is not infinite, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
Kuang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Zhou Qing, having said that, but the power of the earth-shaking thunder explosion was too terrifying, and many soldiers in the army still thought that it was a divine punishment from Tai Yishen. In addition, Zhao Jun's fire oil bomb is even more vicious, once it is attached to the body, it will burn people into black charcoal, making people die without a whole body, which makes the soldiers even more afraid. ”
Zhou Fen snorted and said angrily: "It's all an excuse!" Since we are the courtiers of the Qi State, it is our duty to die for the country at this time of national disaster! How can you be so timid and greedy for life and death, so that the war situation is declining! ”
Kuang Liang shrank his head and stopped talking.
After working with Zhou Fen for such a period of time, in fact, Kuang Liang also knew what was wrong with Zhou Fen.
Zhou Fen is good at everything, but because he has not personally experienced several wars, he is somewhat too idealistic when thinking about things.
Kuang Liang had no doubt about Zhou Fen's loyalty to the King of Qi and the State of Qi, nor did he doubt that if it really came to the last moment, Zhou Fen would die generously for the State of Qi.
But the problem is that your consciousness is high, and you can't ask others to have the same consciousness as you.
As we all know, Qi has always been a relatively developed commercial country, as early as when Taigong Lu Shang established Qi State, Qi State relied on commerce to make a fortune, and Guan Zhong, the famous minister of Qi Huan Gong, directed the first commercial war in Chinese history.
This makes the brains of Qi people relatively more active than those of other countries.
As we all know, people with more active brains will be more desperate when they fight.
Although the soldiers of Qi did rise a wave under the stimulus of the tragic prospect of the country's ruin at the beginning, by the time the city was defended in the past few months, that passion had already been almost wiped out.
By now, the people of Zhao have even made things like earth-shaking thunder and fire oil bombs, so that the soldiers of Qi can only be beaten and have no power to fight back.
Think about it, a soldier of the Qi State stepped into the city after a night of recuperation, wearing leather armor and holding a sword with a longbow on his back, and was preparing to give some unforgettable lessons to the enemies of the Zhao army outside the city.
Just as he stepped on the top of the city, a thunderbolt flew in front of him.
boom!
The soldiers were pawned, and there were no bones left.
And that's not even the worst of all.
Even worse, when the soldier stepped on the top of the city, he looked up and saw a fire oil bomb flying in front of him.
The next moment, the soldier would be transformed into a burning man, rolling on the ground with a flaming body, letting out a terrible cry of pain, and finally becoming unrecognizable and dying in agony in the presence of his nearby colleagues who had survived.
Witnessing one of his comrades die in such a painful way is a very powerful sight.
What made the soldiers of the Qi army even more depressed was that the Qi army could not think of any way to stop the two weapons of the Zhao people, resulting in the soldiers of the Qi army paying many lives in vain every day because of this.
Everyone comes to fight hard to survive in death, but if this continues, it can only be sent to death in vain.
When there was no way out in front of the soldiers of the Qi State except for a dead end, the morale of the Qi army could be imagined.
Kuang Liang hesitated for a moment, looked at the room and saw that there was no one else in the room, and finally turned his heart sideways, and said directly: "Zhou Qing, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we will only have one way to lose!" ”
Don't look at it as a deputy general, but Kuang Liang is actually the leader of this army who knows the most about military affairs, and the specific implementation of various combat measures has always been the responsibility of Kuang Liang.
So Kuang Liang felt that he needed to remind Zhou Fen of this fact, otherwise, if he really lost in the future, the big black pot on Kuang Liang's body would definitely not be able to escape.
Zhou Fen snorted, glanced at Kuang Liang deeply, and said, "General Kuang Liang, the war is not yet at the last moment, how can you lightly say defeat?" You must know that we are shouldering the last hope of Daqi, and we will never give up no matter what! ”
Kuang Liang sighed and walked out of the room.
A muffled thunder suddenly sounded above Kuang Liang's head, and Kuang Liang subconsciously looked up at the sky, only to find that the sky above his head was already cloudy at some point.
"Do you mean...... It's going to rain? Kuang Liang paused for a moment, and then a smile began to appear on the corner of his mouth.
This is really a timely rain for the Qi army in Gaowan City now!
