Chapter 310: Burning the Girders

They have heard this signal many times, and if they don't hide anymore, as long as the cannon sounds, every position exposed on the city wall may be killed, and they can only hope that their lives are good, and there is no shrapnel flying from the hiding position today. （）

After the dense sound of artillery, there was no imaginary explosion and four bursts of shrapnel that killed people, but from the side of the corridor behind the inner city, there was a dull sound, followed by thick smoke of gunpowder.

"On fire, on fire! Let's put out the fire! ”

"Waterwheel, waterwheel!"

"Firefighting. Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

The hot sun has been drying for two days, those are old wood, it is very dry and does not contain much moisture, although in order to set fire to the Yuan army did some processing, coated with flame retardant cement, but in the Song army firearms battalion launched the primary incendiary bomb under the huge heat energy, one after another ignited the flames.

With the help of the wind and the sun, the whole timber yard was completely on fire, and the wooden girders that had been painstakingly collected soon turned into a blazing flame.

"How? General Zhao, what about this incendiary bomb that specializes in arson, the island only experimentally made hundreds of samples, and today I am afraid that there will be mistakes, so I used more than 50 to set fire. Du Hu smiled, this time he was completely independent, and his subordinates were able to arrange their own methods of attack, and he also had a long face on his face.

"Okay, such shells were originally used by the ship's guns, and you forcibly stole some of them, do you think I don't know? However, Lao Du, you are suitable to be a marshal, your subordinates can get enough room for development, and only a marshal who is not jealous of his subordinates' talents can command an invincible iron army. ”

Zhao Tianyou has long seen through Du Hu, these elements of fire and siege, pay attention to the weather and wind, and repeatedly demonstrate in the class of the martial arts hall, in order to let the students master the theory, he has let go of the fire many times in the courtyard.

"Haha, you can see it, it's really a young man now, he has a brain, a bold mind, and a good sense of time, so I should be disarmed and return to the field!"

"Okay, you obediently be a general for life! If I have the opportunity, I will pay you, the deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet, to you and become the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Fleet for a while! ”

When Du Hu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I still like to fight on the ship, it's not fun to fight back and forth on this road!" ”

This fire burned for half a day, not only burned a large amount of wood, but also a nearby Yuan army warehouse, as well as dozens of surrounding houses and shops, were burned to ashes. Even the blue bricks on the outer wall of the inner city were burned red by the fire, and after the fire was extinguished, people found that the flat wall bricks became twisted and seriously out of shape, and some of the wall bricks were burned out of the tumor, which shows that of course the temperature of the fire is extremely high.

Behind him was a raging fire, and the Song army under the city wall only applauded, not close to the distance of two hundred steps, and it was obvious that there was no attempt to attack the outer city. The Yuan army on the outer wall was low and did not dare to raise its head, not knowing when the shells would come again, and after waiting for a while, they came out of the bunker to observe, only to find that the Song army had returned to the camp as a whole.

"What, it's all burned? Why did you go earlier, I'm angry, these beams are very useful, how can this be! ”

Boyan felt unwell because of his body, and after taking two doses of decoction, he slept for a long time, and after waking up, he felt refreshed, and immediately there was a news that made him angry and shocked, and gave him a blow to the head.

This situation is not only as simple as the wood is burned, it is very obvious that Song Jun knows the existence of these woods, and he also knows what they are used for, and what surprised him the most is Song Jun's means of setting fires, as well as such accurate time and location control.

There were no available generals under him, and Boyan felt constrained, and everything was not going well, and he didn't have the handy feeling he had in the past. And many of the generals who have been fighting and killing the enemy with him have all died under the sword of the Song army, and even Ah Shu and Ali Hague, the two brave generals who are expected to take over his position, were killed by the Song army, not to mention Zhang Hongfan, Dong Wenbing and others.

The first batch of Han generals, such as Guo Kan, Liu Quan, Shi Tianze and others, had all died of old age or injuries, and Zhang Hongfan, who had recently been defeated, was the most sad for him. For Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, he was most inclined to Zhang Hongfan to have higher achievements, but he didn't expect to be seriously injured by a cannonball fired from above, and after ineffective treatment, he lost too much blood and died on the ship.

Li Heng has been defeated repeatedly since he attacked Guangzhou, and by the time he defended Wuzhou, he had been reduced to the likes of wine bags and rice bags, and had lost the courage that a general should have, and defeat was inevitable.

Boyan's trembling hand picked up the teacup, and when he brought it to his mouth, his hand trembled, and a few drops of hot water dripped down, wetting his trouser legs, and his hands and feet were a little disobedient? He is only forty-four years old, and he has been fighting on horseback for more than twenty-seven years, and today for the first time, he feels that he is a little old.

"Count today's losses and casualties, you must report to me before dinner, if there is a little delay or error, the relevant people are responsible!"

When this military order was issued, the herald's legs were a little weak, Boyan's city government has always been very good, and his reputation and prestige among his subordinate generals are very good, and the number of times he gets angry in public is not much, and there are only a handful of killings in front of the big tent.

But the herald felt the murderous intent from Boyan's trembling tone, today it will be up to him to see who is unlucky, at this time he will not make a mistake and be caught, that is, the Lord of Yama will give you a letter, and he will be damned!

In the Great Song Battalion, today's fire attack worked, and the grassroots soldiers who needed to be commended were rewarded, and Zhao Tianyou personally received and toasted, which was more effective than sending out a hundred taels of silver. In their eyes, Zhao Tianyou is an invincible god-like existence, and drinking at the same table with him is already a very big reward, but he was shaken by Zhao Tianyou and toasted, and the small amount of gas almost fainted with excitement, and the laughter and laughter during the banquet went straight to the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, alternating between heat and rain, and the Song army's transformation of siege methods was still enthusiastic, and there were often some tricks to experiment. However, at this time, it can be found that the knowledge of basic soldiers has improved a lot, and some unreliable things have not yet been produced, and some soldiers have jointly submitted opinions to request the termination of this flawed experiment.

These were all spontaneous acts, and of course those experiments with the weaker were specially and deliberately arranged, the purpose of which was to arouse the interest of ordinary soldiers in their participation, so that the quality of the whole army would be rapidly improved.

Zhao Tianyou wants this army not only to have strong force, but also to have a smart head, and of course, the most important thing is that they must have a heart that likes to learn!
