Chapter 339: Great War II

Murong Xiaojun felt very strange about Datang's behavior, it was completely like a siege, but he didn't bring a lot of grain and grass, and in the current situation, if he forcibly broke through, he just had to choose to break through without the Xuanjia Army.

Even if it is caught up by the Xuanjia Army, it can still keep people behind, but in this way, the operation will be a complete failure, and the only way to retreat is Tuyuhun.

"What is the intention of General Tang Jun?" The adjutant general on the city wall looked at the arrangement below and asked strangely.

"It's supposed to trap us!" Murong Xiaojun replied, as if he had told himself.

"How's that for good? Is there still reinforcements behind the Tang Army? The adjutant general's face changed and he said.

"It should be." Murong Xiaojun frowned, and guessed the same.

"General, let's break through, while there are not many of them now, they will be beaten all the time if they stay in the city." The adjutant general persuaded.

"Let the brothers eat enough, and then collect the surplus war horses, and let the empty horses charge after nightfall, and everyone will break through to Songzhou, where there is a Tibetan army, we will go to converge, and the Tang army will not think that we will break through from there." Murong Xiaojun ordered.

"The general is wise, and the last general will do it." When the adjutant general heard that he was allowed to break through, he immediately became happy and hurriedly patted his ass.

…………

Although Murong Xiaojun made a good arrangement, Duan Zhixuan obviously didn't plan to give him a chance, and after the arrangement was made, he immediately asked people to prepare to attack.

"General Qiyu! The South Gate is ready! "A knight comes quickly!

"The North Gate is ready!"

"Simon is ready!" After a while, two more knights came.

"Blow the trumpet!" Duan Zhixuan looked at the city coldly, raised his hand and said.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! Duan Zhixuan's side immediately had a guard take off the horn of the ox, and it blew violently, and a huge and deep voice resounded through the small city.

"Put!" A catapult with a clay pot on it began to be test-cast.

…………

"What's going on? Is it that the Don Army attacked. Murong Xiaojun, who was resting under the city wall, was so frightened by the sound of the horn that he jumped up, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted at the city wall and asked.

"General, come and see!" The soldiers on the city wall looked strangely at the catapult throwing a clay pot, which fell to the ground and fell to the ground, but no one was injured, except for a little smelly, the soldiers didn't know what it was, and they were afraid of poison, so they covered their mouths and noses and retreated a distance, stared at it deadly, and found no other problems, and hurriedly shouted to Murong Xiaojun.

"What's going on?" Murong Xiaojun ran up the city wall quickly, glanced outside the city, and found that Datang did not attack, so he hid behind the battlements of the city wall and asked.

Tuyuhun had experience with being attacked by catapults for many days, and they found that hiding behind battlements would not be hit by stones.

Murong Xiaojun asked, and immediately a soldier bent down and ran over to report in detail.

When Murong Xiaojun heard this, he didn't understand what was going on for a while, and just wanted to go over and take a look, he found more than ten jars falling from the sky, which frightened him and hurriedly squatted down.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! A series of clay pots fell to the ground, and they fell to the ground, and now they didn't need Murong Xiaojun to go over, they could smell the smell, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his nose and mouth, thinking about what it was, and many clay pots fell.

Murong Xiaojun didn't think much about it, and hurriedly squatted down, taking advantage of the interval, to peek out of the city, and found that the Tang archers were approaching under the cover of the shield.

He was not surprised by this, because Hou Junji has been attacking in this mode for the past few days, except for the first few days of casualties, and later found that it was okay to hide under the wall, and when someone attacked the city and counterattacked, now the arrow counterattack has no effect at all, and it will be blocked by the Datang iron shield, of course, he doesn't know that those are steel shields.

After taking it for a while, Murong Xiaojun was wondering why the archers were already in place, why didn't they find the infantry carrying siege ladders and other things.

was puzzled, Murong Xiaojun fiercely found that the Tang soldiers actually lit torches during the day, and just as he couldn't understand it, he found that the soldiers were lighting rockets.

Murong Xiaojun suddenly turned his head, stared at the broken clay pot on the ground, twitched his nose vigorously and sniffed, and shouted in a shocked voice: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

While shouting, he rushed to the city for his life, it turned out that he finally remembered that the strange smell on the ground was like the smell of oil, and when he saw the Tang soldiers lighting rockets in the daytime, of course he understood why.

The Tuyuhun soldiers were stunned by his movements, but the good training still made them obey the order, and hurriedly followed and ran to the city.

"Brush! Brush! Brush! Murong Xiaojun had just run a certain distance when he heard the sound of bows and arrows, and he didn't dare to turn his head back, and ran forward even faster.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! "The Tuyuhun soldiers were retreating, not noticing the rockets coming, and many people were shot and screamed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Fierce flames were ignited by rockets and burst into the sky from the ground.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! "Many people were so burned by the sudden fire that they let out more screams, some rolled on the ground, and some were so burned that they ran around in pain.

"Extinguish the fire! Fire suppression! Murong Xiaojun, who had run a certain distance, turned around and saw the tragic situation, and shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.

Every city defense battle will inevitably prepare a large amount of water, just to prevent fire attacks, but no one has ever seen gasoline, so no one thinks that this will be frightened by such a fire, and only when he heard Murong Xiaojun's heart-rending cry did he react, and hurriedly carried water and poured it over to the fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "It's good not to pour water, this pouring of water is simply adding fuel to the fire, the fire on the ground burned more violently, the heat wave forced the soldiers to retreat, and the splashed water burned many people, and many people were burned off their hair and beard by the sudden fire wave, this time no one was frightened, and they retreated again and again, at a loss.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Just when the Tuyuhun soldiers didn't know what to do, looking at the miserable situation of their comrades, and were afraid, many clay pots fell from the sky and fell to the ground and were ignited.

"Ahh Yes! There was no need to say hello at this time, everyone was frightened, and ran back without looking back.

"Push forward 100 steps and continue to deliver!" Duan Zhixuan looked at the fire in the city and continued to order.

"With such a sharp weapon, it is just a piece of cake in many enemy forces, and who else is our opponent." Hou Junji had been observing with a telescope, and he could see the effect of the oil clearly, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement, and said loudly to Duan Zhixuan.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Hou will be disappointed, oil refining is not easy, this time what he brought is all the inventory of the imperial court, although there are still two kinds of oil, but there is no such effect, and there is not much use if it is less." Duan Zhixuan stared ahead and explained without looking back.
