"Okay, now is it!" Tai Shi Ci saw that Wen Ping had already taken the lead in running into the suspension bridge, followed by countless Cao soldiers who were chasing after him, and suddenly waved his right hand fiercely, and said loudly: "Ignition." ”

The soldiers on the head of Xiangyang City stepped forward with torches, and the oil cans in the stone thrower basket burned vigorously, and countless ghost fires seemed to be ignited on the city at the same time, and the faint flames were connected into a line of fire one after another, giving the pursuing Cao soldiers under the city an indescribable sense of fear.

Tai Shi Ci shouted again: "Let's go!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

A loud tremor moan sounded again under the bright sky.

The burning oil tank was thrown up under the swing of the pole arm, and the flames pulled out a long broom tail in the air, like a meteor crossing the night sky with a dazzling trajectory, whistling away, when the burning flame gradually became smaller and almost disappeared, the oil tank finally hit the enemy's thunderbolt, and then burst into flames, and the oil splashed everywhere, turning into a spark in the sky in an instant.

If Ma Chao is here, seeing this scene, it should be like returning to modern society and watching the fireworks bloom, right?

It's a pity that this is a troubled time, and the fireworks here are even more tragic. The canisters that were thrown at the thunderbolts fell to the ground, igniting the oil that Wen had poured out earlier. The monstrous tongue of fire burst into flames almost instantly, and the ferocious fire swept those Cao soldiers who were guarding the thunderbolt car into it. One by one, Cao Bing, who was on fire, was howling, running, and begging for help, and finally fell to the ground and tossed back and forth into a ball, turning into ashes......

Thick smoke rose again, but this time there was a cold silence on the battlefield, and no one made a sound again.

The soldiers of the Ma family were stunned, and the soldiers of the coalition army were blinded.

They could not have imagined that there would be such a terrible thing in the world, and the entire battlefield was lost under the raging fire, and tens of thousands of people were silent above and below the city, as if they had been choked by the neck at the same time. Even Tai Shi Ci at the head of the city was speechless by the power of this fire oil projectile.

Then, the crisp sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded in the ears of Tai Shici, who was already stunned, and he saw that Wen Ping had fled into the city, and suddenly reacted, shouting loudly: "Go out of the city to snipe the enemy, close the city gate, and put away the drawbridge!" ”

After this shout, the whole city seemed to have just regained its life, and the reservists at the city gate woke up and roared and waved their weapons and rushed towards the coalition troops who had rushed to the drawbridge. The coalition forces that reacted were like frightened birds or waves at low tide, and they scattered and fled. Subsequently, the entire coalition army also slowly retreated in the fireworks, and then retreated, until it was ten miles away, and refused to come out again.

Water and fire are ruthless, in this era when nature has not yet been completely controlled, such a huge fire attack can make Cao Cao and Sun Ce and others retreat.

Then, the whole of Xiangyang was boiling, and all the soldiers rushed up to see it, to touch the terrible weapon. This is the most powerful weapon in the era of cold weapons, and it is the king of all arms, and it is terrifying, even surpassing the cavalry. Of course, in a way, it is the predecessor of the Cavalry Terminator.

Wen Ping also ran up the city wall at this time, and when Tai Shici saw Wen Ping, the first thing he said was: "Zhongye, how did you come up with this idea?" ”

"No, I just watched Cao Jun's thunderbolts form a line, the wood is strong and difficult to burn, and it may be easier to burn if it is poured with oil. I didn't expect that under the circumstances, I would have achieved such unexpected results......"

Gan Ning and Guo Jia, who walked halfway, were also attracted back by the sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami, after hearing about the incident on the battlefield just now, Guo Jia's reaction was very strange, he didn't have many surprises, but there were not many surprises. Instead, he looked at the coalition army formation that was still slowly retreating in the distance.

"Look?" Guo Jia calmly frowned and handed the telescope in his hand to Gan Ning, looking very surprised, as if he had seen a scene even stranger than the brilliant fire before.

The three of them set up their binoculars at the same time, and their expressions became very strange. Through the fire curtains that had not yet burned out, they saw from the smoke of gunpowder that on the horizon in the distance, there was a very bright pole, on which the banners were even more gorgeous than Cao Cao, the king of Wei, and it was obviously the banner of the Son of Heaven. Then, the figure of Xuanhe of the Imperial Forest Army slowly appeared in front of the three of them, and they saw that Cao Cao and Sun Ce, the kings of Wei, stopped retreating, dismounted and bowed......

"Has the Son of Heaven personally marched to Xiangyang?" Gan Ning rubbed his eyes and asked Tai Shici and Wen Ping in disbelief. And these two people had the same confusion in their eyes as Gan Ning, and the three of them immediately turned their eyes to Guo Jia, and Tai Shici asked more directly: "So it seems that Shangyong, Jiangling and other counties in the west of Jingzhou have been broken by Liu Bei's army?" ”

"That's how it should be." Guo Jia nodded, but soon became puzzled again, because when he carefully observed the Royal Forest Army again, he found that the number of people did not seem to be much, and Liu Bei's banner did not appear: "Now, I'm afraid it's getting more and more interesting......"

That night, the coalition forces were never attacking the city again. Under the command of the three generals, Ma Jiajun seized every opportunity to clean up the wreckage, and even slept beautifully when he took turns guarding the city in the second half of the night.

On the third day, the coalition attack began again. And compared to the previous two times, their attacks seemed to be more violent, as if the Son of Heaven was in charge, and they were like divine help. Today, the clerk in charge of defending the city could not imagine how the enemy army could restore the morale of the soldiers to madness overnight.

This time they had the air of a shipwreck, and every soldier who charged was not afraid of death, ignoring the pain. Wen Ping saw that an officer of the Cao army with seven or eight arrows on his body rushed to the head of the city like a porcupine, and cut down two stunned soldiers with a sword, only to be stabbed to death by three spears at the same time; I also saw a Cao soldier pull off one of his arms that had been cut to the ground with only a little tendon, and then howled and rushed forward with a one-arm swing knife; There was a soldier dragging a body that flowed out of his intestines. I had to climb straight to the top of the wall before I died; Wen Ping commanded the battle, and one of the guards in front of him was dragged down by Cao Jun and bitten to death, speaking of this, Wen Ping's face turned pale. After so many years of fighting, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

The equipment of this coalition team may not be stronger than that of the Ma family, but their courage is still above the elite Ma family army in Xiangyang City. Their stormy charge made the three commanders Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Wen Ping all frightened.

They went crazy, and when they arrived, they used all their forces to advance the whole line, and the defense line was precarious everywhere. Under this impact, all positions of the Ma Jiajun cried for reinforcements. Gan Ning, who usually likes to attack the most, can't defend the position, and Wenpin, who has always been known for his stability, has been in a hurry, and Tai Shici, who has always been offensive and defensive, is a little stretched......

However, it can be seen that the enemy army is still worse than the Ma family's army, Xiahou Yuan was seriously injured and carried down, Cao Ren's three songs were pushed up and no one was killed, Sun Ce's little overlord wanted to be powerful, but he was shot by a round of mountain-destroying crossbows to the point that he couldn't even get close to the moat. Seeing that the position that had been cleaned up overnight was a sea of corpses and blood in less than an hour, the coalition army was still attacking vigorously: they had more men and horses than the Ma family's army, and they wanted to use a crazy spirit to defeat the Ma family's army.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and everyone on both sides understands this truth. Okay, now that you understand, let's do the math. At the last moment, Ma Jiajun made another big move, they first used trebuchets to throw large barrels of fire oil into the enemy camp, and then used burning fireballs to set the entire camp on all sides. It can be seen that the coalition forces have taken some precautions against this kind of fire battle of the Ma Jiajun this time. After the oil drums were thrown, they buried them with a large amount of sediment. But after the fireballs were thrown one after another, igniting the tents, horse sheds, and grain and grass warehouses, their sense of stubborn resistance was finally quickly disintegrated. The barracks were full of chickens and dogs, and no amount of law enforcement teams could quell the commotion. Even, several times, Gan Ning led the army to rush and kill a few times, which made the coalition army miserable.

Since then, Ma Jiajun seems to have gained the upper hand at once, and has organized effective counteroffendes many times, causing the large battalions of the coalition army to retreat again and again, until it has withdrawn thirty miles, and then formed a stalemate with Xiangyang City.

And then things get more and more normal and abnormal. The coalition forces are sometimes on the offensive as if they could forget about yesterday's fiasco. Once, they even rebelled against the county soldiers in Xiangyang City should open the city gate, but unfortunately it was Gan Ning who was responsible for guarding the city that time, he personally carried a knife between the city gates, beheaded dozens of people, wiped out the rebels in the city, closed the city gate again, and then went to the city with a bow, fired dozens of arrows in a row, shot and killed more than 20 Cao army officers, and pacified the rebellion at the city gate.

After this battle, the morale of the coalition forces obviously plummeted, and it seems that they no longer hope to take Xiangyang City in one fell swoop.

On the sixth day, a truce. The coalition army rested outside the city, and the Ma Jiajun rested in the city and rested for a whole day. Guo Jia even chatted with Cao Cao, who came to visit the city, and of course, Gan Ning and Sun Ce also scolded each other.

On the 10th, the truce between the two armies continued, but there was no movement except for the flags in the coalition camp and the sound of bangs in the night.

The fifteenth, the twentieth, always so......

Finally, when Gan Ning couldn't help but sneak attack the camp that covered the sky and the wilderness, he found that the Caosun and Liu coalition forces had quietly retreated.
