Chapter 205: Artifact of Defending the City
"Fire the oil tank, prepare for ignition!"
Chen Qiyu held the command flag high and shouted hoarsely.
When the herald saw the banner, he began to convey the order to the entire castle tower according to his original words.
The oil outlets of the two hundred fierce fire oil tanks were ignited for the first time, and the flames were very small, but the smell of fierce fire oil immediately filled the air, accompanied by billowing black smoke rising into the sky.
A smile appeared at the corner of Mao Wenlong's mouth, who was always paying attention from a distance, and Hong Chengchou didn't know why he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Mao Wenlong directly handed him the binoculars and motioned for him to look at them himself, before explaining: "Do you see the billowing black smoke floating up in the city?" ”
Hong Chengchou frowned, and said worriedly: "I saw it." ”
Mao Wenlong explained: "Have you ever heard of the fierce fire oil tank? ”
Hong Chengchou recalled a little, as if he had realized: "I've heard of this thing, but I've never seen it." It was recorded in historical books before, and it should have been the most widely used during the Song Dynasty. ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Yes, this thing was usually used to defend the city in the Song Dynasty, and later it was mostly equipped with this thing in naval battles." ”
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "At this moment, the wall of Ye County is equipped with this thing?" ”
Mao Wenlong chuckled: "This thing was accidentally searched by Xu Fuzuo when he attacked Xianyang City. Later, I brought it back to Ye County, remember the fact that I was frantically looking for all kinds of craftsmen before, right? ”
Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Remember." ”
"Looking for a craftsman is actually to make this thing for Lee, of course, the current city wall is equipped with something that has been improved twice. The starting power is more than twice as large as before, and the only drawback is that it uses too much fierce fire oil and cannot be used on a large scale. Mao Wenlong shook his head and sighed regretfully.
"Is this thing that powerful?" Hong Chengchou didn't understand this thing, and his face was full of doubts at the moment.
"Just look at it and you'll understand!" Mao Wenlong did not explain much.
Hearing him say this, Hong Chengchou fell silent, and he concentrated on holding a telescope to observe the changes on the battlefield at this moment.
Chen Qiyu on the city tower was trying his best to endure it, except for a rain of arrows just now, he gave up any defensive attack. Only when the enemy army under the city easily rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and countless ladders began to lean against the city walls, he asked those with long wooden forks to go up and prop them up.
And there was no slackening in the defense at the three city gates, and the sassal trees and rolling stones continued to fall down, and any enemy troops who dared to rush up were all killed and wounded. Seeing that the city gate was so well defended, the enemy immediately turned to the city wall, at least it was safe for now.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the entire Yexian City was surrounded by the killing sound of the enemy, and the people in the city began to panic at this moment. Fortunately, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan took the mansion and inspected the city directly, persuading the people to stay at home, believing that the soldiers guarding the city could protect the safety of Ye County.
With the efforts of the two, the people's mood gradually stabilized, and they all saw that Mao Wenlong's two wives were still in Yexian City, and they were also in this dangerous place.
People are obviously much more delicate than them, and they are not afraid, what else do they have to fear. Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were only forced by the urgency of the situation, so they had no choice but to come out to comfort the people in person, but they didn't expect to receive such a miraculous effect.
Zhang Xianzhong personally went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and this time he was only allowed to succeed and not to fail. Seeing that his army was already under the city, and with a little more effort, he should be able to storm the city walls, and the hope of victory had been recruited to him again.
Zhang Xianzhong's face finally showed a long-lost smile at this moment, and he was accompanied by that military advisor Lin Ai. When he saw the smile on Zhang Xianzhong's face, he immediately patted his ass: "Dashuai, the situation is very good now, it seems that it will not be long before we can celebrate in the city." ”
"Strategist, it's too early to think about this. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and you must not be careless. Zhang Xianzhong put away his smile and said in a tone of lesson.
"What the marshal said is extremely true, but I'm too anxious." Lin Ai cursed Zhang Xianzhong in his heart, but on the surface, he lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, typical duplicity.
Zhang Xianzhong didn't pay attention to his expression, his mind was completely on the battlefield at the moment, and he had no time to care about anything else.
The siege and defense sides have completely entered the white-hot stage at this moment, and Chen Qiyu has been waiting for the best time. He had to get the most out of the fire tank.
However, his four subordinates were already impatient, and every time they waited a little longer, a few more people would die. There were not many soldiers in Yexian County, and the four generals were afraid that if they endured it like this, the result would be more auspicious.
Chen Qiyu seemed to understand the thoughts of his four subordinates, and he coldly reprimanded: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and you will never be allowed to use the fierce fire oil tank until the best time." Now our only reliance is on this thing, and no one is allowed to act rashly until the moment of life and death, you know? ”
"Yes, General!" The four subordinates did not dare to disobey Chen Qiyu at all, and after answering in unison, they stayed by his side honestly.
Chen Qiyu's eyes were fixed on the enemy troops that were still surging under the city. At this moment, the enemy army was already crowded with people under the city, and countless ladders were lifted and leaned against the city wall. The soldiers defending the city kept pushing the ladder off with wooden fork weapons, and the two sides fought back and forth.
Some of the more anxious enemy soldiers had already climbed to the top of the ladder and were fighting with the soldiers defending the city with their spears......
Chen Qiyu silently thought in his heart, come more, come more......
On the surface, he is very calm, but in fact, he is extremely nervous, but as the head coach, he must not show timidity, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Finally, the enemy army had all entered the spray range of the fierce fire oil tank, and the command flag in Chen Qiyu's hand was suddenly raised high, and he shouted: "The fierce fire oil tank is ready." ”
"Shoot ......"
Accompanied by Chen Qiyu's roar, two hundred fierce fire oil tanks spewed out two hundred fire dragons at the same time.
The improved Fierce Fire Tank was sprayed at a terrifying distance of fifteen meters, and at the moment it was condescending, and it was not a problem at all to extend it five meters forward. This means that the jet distance of the fierce fire tank has reached an astonishing twenty meters.
"Huhuhu......"
The huge fire dragon instantly covered the sky over the entire Ye County City, and countless fierce fire oil with little sparks fell above the heads of the enemy army. Like a meteor shower, the moment the fire dragon spread, the enemy army under the city wall suddenly fell silent, followed by endless panic...... Spread over the entire enemy position.
