Chapter 850: Fire Burns All Over the City
In attack and defense, the larger the city, the more difficult it is to defend, the smaller the city, the more troops and resources are sufficient, but it will be easier to defend.
Gao Yihuan looked at the palace wall and saw that there were white armor soldiers standing on it, and some old and weak women and children were helping to carry weapons, so he knew that the city's defenses were very complete, and Azig, the turtle grandson, was going to resist stubbornly.
"How many people are there in the city?" Gao Yihuan turned his head and asked.
Huang Bingzhong first turned his head and asked the generals behind him a few words, and then replied: "Great King, the soldiers cleaned up the corpses in the city, and after statistics, it was found that at least 3,000 bannermen had retreated into the palace of the King of Jin. ”
Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "So, counting the dependents, there are nearly 10,000 people in the city." ”
Although this scale is not as strong as the full city of Nanjing, and the city walls are not as strong as the imperial city of Nanjing, but the city is trapped in Azig and thousands of white flags.
These people are the ancestors of the Eight Banners, and they are much more powerful than the descendants who will not be able to become a weapon in a few hundred years.
This time the city is full of eight banners, and it is unlikely that there will be traitors, and if you attack hard, the losses will be huge.
Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, and said with some anger in his heart: "Azig's loss of color makes it clear that he wants to die, and he also wants to pull my Great Wei soldiers on their backs." ”
Gao Yihuan saw through Azig's thoughts, attacking the city is to follow Azig's wishes, if you don't attack it, you can't do it, it is impossible to let Taiyuan City, there is still a full city.
This feeling made Gao Yihuan very uncomfortable, and he entered Taiyuan, but it seemed that he failed to conquer Azig.
At this time, Azig in the city used a clairvoyant mirror to scan the outside of the city, and the circular vision locked on Gao Yihuan, he sneered on his face, suddenly waved his hand, turned his head and shouted, "Push the cannon over!" ”
The general next to him saw it and said suspiciously: "Lord Wang, the distance is too far to reach!" ”
"If you want to push, push it!" Azig put down the clairvoyant mirror and roared angrily at the general, seeing that the general was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted to do it, and then picked up the clairvoyant mirror again to watch.
At this time, Gao Yihuan was continuing to observe, the camera moved to the opposite side, and saw a white-armored general at the head of the city, and was about to watch carefully, when a cannon suddenly rang out at the head of the city, raising a cloud of gunsmoke, Gao Yihuan's clairvoyant mirror, he saw a cannonball from small to large, and shot at him quickly.
The war horse neighed, Gao Yihuan was so startled that the clairvoyant mirror fell to the ground, and the person almost fell off his horse, and the cannonball smashed on the roof next to the street, splashing countless tiles and dust.
Gao Yihuan stabilized the war horse, and his face instantly turned red, because the landing point of the cannonball was really far away from his position, and his movements were too exaggerated.
Gao Yihuan saw the cannonball from the clairvoyant mirror, thinking that the cannonball was shooting at him, and his reaction was a little fierce.
At this time, he saw the eyes of the generals around him, as if he was looking at a psychopath, and looked at him with puzzled faces, and Gao Yihuan couldn't hold it on his face.
The air was quiet, it was really embarrassing, Gao Yihuan didn't wait for the general to ask what was going on, he was scared, and suddenly he pulled the reins of the horse in anger, and shouted angrily: "Go, go back to the ya!" ”
When Azig saw the scene, he couldn't help but cover his stomach and laugh, which was extremely rampant.
He has already avenged his mortal heart, and it is impossible for Gao Yihuan to conquer him.
"Lord Wang, why provoke Gao Yihuan, so that he will attack the city immediately, we may not be able to last long." Rocodo smiled wryly.
Azig sneered: "This king just wants to let the high barbarian attack, and let him accumulate corpses!" ”
Throughout the afternoon, the Wei soldiers stationed themselves in the streets outside the city, sealed the passages in and out of the city, and then brought mortars into the city and fired them inside the city, but did not attack.
At night, the Wei army began to demolish, and the houses near the city were used to build a long wall by using the square walls on the side of the street, and the city was completely besieged to death.
At the same time, the Wei soldiers placed Azig behind the city wall and used it to throw earth-shaking thunder, and the stone thrower that bombarded the siege Wei army moved to the vicinity of Mancheng and transformed it, replacing the leather pocket with an iron pot in order to launch fireballs.
On the fourth watch, Gao Yihuan, wearing armor, came to the stone throwing machine position, and the Wei soldiers were busy putting a ball of fire oil and a fireball made into a round ball next to the stone thrower.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready." Zhao Daxian clenched his fists and reported.
Gao Yihuan looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, a look of resentment appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Then let's start!" This king wants to make Azig worse than dead! ”
"No!" Zhao Daxian clenched his fists to receive the order, then turned his head and ordered, "Prepare to launch and burn the turtle sun in the city!" ”
All over the city, the white-armored soldiers carried torches, patrolled back and forth, and the defense was very tight.
Suddenly, there was a crunch outside the city, and nearly a hundred fireballs rose up. The Wei soldier pulled the rope and manipulated the stone thrower, only to see the throwing rod rise, and then threw the burning fireballs into the air.
The flag soldiers at the head of the city saw nearly a hundred fireballs rising in the sky, like fire meteors, falling into the city, and their faces were immediately full of horror.
The flaming fireball, like a meteor shower, smashed on the roof of the palace, and the sparks splashed like a splash, instantly igniting the wooden building.
After the fireball, nearly 100 stone throwing machines, creaking, a jar of fire oil, like no money, thrown into the city, the jar shattered, the fire oil splashed everywhere, and the "boom" ignited a raging fire.
Under the slamming of fire oil and rolling fireballs, the wooden buildings all over the city were engulfed in flames almost instantly.
The unprepared flag soldiers and their dependents in the city rushed out of the room in horror and ran to the city to take refuge, while more people were ignited by the fire, desolate and screaming, and the fire men who were scurrying all over the city suddenly turned into purgatory.
The burning building was filled with inhuman howls, figures engulfed in flames, running like headless flies in the raging flames, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of flesh and burning.
Azig ran out of the palace in a panic and came to the city wall to take shelter temporarily, only to see that there were burning people everywhere, and many soldiers covered in fire ran out of the burning palace, and after not running a few steps, they fell to the ground.
The Manchu who fled to the city, seeing their relatives burned to death, sat at the head of the city and slapped their legs and cried, making Azig's eyes red in an instant, "Gao Yihuan, dog barbarian, you can't die well!" ”
At this time, Luo Keduo ran over and said in a panic: "Lord, something is wrong, the grain depot has been burned." ”
The city is not large, and the stone throwers shoot fireballs and fire pots from all sides, and there are almost no dead ends.
"What?" Azig was shocked, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and shouted the order, "Hurry up and put out the fire." ”
Gao Yihuan looked at the burning palace city in the distance, with a sneer on his face, Azig wanted to pull the Wei soldiers on their backs, and the lonely king let you not be able to kill a Wei soldier.
"Azig, only the whole city will die, and there will not be a single Wei army casualty!" Gao Yihuan stared at the fire in the red sky, listened to the wails and screams coming from the city, and ordered in a cold voice: "Pass the order of the lonely army, block the palace, don't let a person out, the lonely will starve them to death." ”
