Chapter 185: Fierce Battle Changli III
Black oil, in fact, is crude oil. www.biquge.info Of course, the people of this era are not capable of exploiting, but under Huo Yu's deliberate search, he found his own crude oil emerging from the ground on the territory of the former Liaodong vassal country. In the first battle of Xiangping City, only a small amount of crude oil was put into the actual combat test, and in terms of effect, this thing far exceeded the power of fire oil.
If it weren't for Pei Yuanshao's plan to attack the enemy camp at night last night, Liang Xi would have almost forgotten the existence of this thing. For the power of this thing, Pei Yuanshao is very clear! However, what surprised Liang Xi was still to come, when he proposed to burn the enemy army with black oil, Huang Xu actually claimed that he had four simple catapults, although the distance was not far, but it was enough to defend the city.
Fierce battles were raging at the head of the city, and Huang Xu was nervously assembling a simple catapult with his subordinates in the urn city at the north gate of Changli. Su Fuyan's general order completely stimulated the ferocity of the Wuhuan people, and batch after batch of Wuhuan people risked their lives to attack the city, and gradually the recruits of the Han army appeared in an irresistible state of affairs.
"Report, my lord, the soldiers are a little unbearable!" A school captain reported in front of Liang Xi.
"Tell the soldiers that behind them are their compatriots and sisters, and if you can't resist the consequences, you don't need to say much!" Liang Xi said coldly.
Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Liang Xi understands this truth. Which of the elites in the Liaodong Army is not a warrior of a hundred battles, and if he can't withstand such a little pressure, how can he become the elite of the Liaodong Army.
"Lord Liang, let my Xuanwu camp go!" Pei Yuanshao said anxiously.
"General Pei, this is not the time, these recruits must go through the baptism of blood and fire, this pressure can't be beared, how to fight the world for the lord in the future?"
"Conquer the world?" Pei Yuanshao didn't think about it, but as soon as Liang Xi said this, Pei Yuanshao fell into contemplation, and he still remembered that Huo Yu once said, "What the great sage and good teacher can't bring to you, Yu will definitely come true!" ”。
In the past few years, what have they been trained to die for? Now that the land of Liaodong and Liaoxi is completely dominated by the lord's family, maybe they really have the moment to conquer the world.
"Report, Captain Huang's catapult has been assembled." A personal guard stepped forward to report.
"Good! How to use the catapult to decide how to use Captain Huang for yourself, there is only one point, just throw the black oil jar out of the city! Liang Xi said excitedly to the guard.
A little, a few small stones flew out of Chengchang Li City one after another, and a few unlucky people were smashed and killed before they had time to dodge. After a series of corrections, Huang Xu's Shenji battalion, except for those who operated the trebuchet, all concentrated towards the city.
With an order, the clay pot filled with black oil flew over the city with the help of a trebuchet and fell into the formation of the Wuhuan people, but these things did not arouse the vigilance of the Wuhuan people, and the clay pots that were not big or small could not kill people at all, as long as they were not hit in the head, but the black viscous liquid did not know what it was.
Fierce battles were still raging above the city, and Huang Xu's Shenji battalion had already taken the repeater and was ready to fight at any time. The recruits of the Liaodong Army are gradually becoming a little weak, and many Wuhuan people have already attacked the city. As the muffled horn sounded again, Su Fuyan sent his last fresh army into the battlefield.
Liang Xi was guarded by his own soldiers and stood in front of the city gate tower, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he heard the horn. The trebuchet has thrown quite a few clay pots, and it's time to fight back. The order was issued, Pei Yuanshao took the lead in rushing up with his Xuanwu battalion, Huang Xu shook his head helplessly, he naturally couldn't use a repeater in such a way of fighting, and shooting his own people was not what he wanted to see.
With the addition of the Xuanwu battalion, the morale of the Han army was greatly shaken, and the number of Wuhuan people who attacked the city decreased sharply. Seeing this, Liang Xi said to Huang Xuyan: "Captain Huang, let the Shenji Battalion prepare the fire arrows!" ”
As soon as he agreed, Huang Xu immediately gave an order, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion quickly headed towards the position of the archers, taking over their work while preparing fire arrows. Su Fuyan watched the defenders who had just attacked the city being pressed down, and his face turned blue with anger. Suddenly, he found out what the Han army was throwing at the city, and his heart suddenly tightened!
"Kerose?" Of course, Su Muyan had heard of how the Xianbei people were defeated, which was the usual method of the Han army to defend the city.
He hurriedly ordered the horn to be sounded for retreat, but it was too late, and at the same time as the horn sounded, an overwhelming array of fire arrows fell from the sky, some of which hit the unsuspecting Wuhuan people, and the other part fell to the ground and ignited a black gooey substance. The fire broke out instantly, and the screams of the Wuhuan people who fell into the sea of fire were everywhere, and the Wuhuan people who were lucky not to enter the sea of fire gradually retreated.
The excited Han army at the head of the city is still throwing clay pots to the city, and there is a great purpose to not give up if they don't throw it away.
"Stop, you losers! Don't throw it away! Pei Yuanshao yelled at the recruits.
Although they were reprimanded, the recruits still kept smiling, and there was only one word in their hearts: "cool"! Many of the recruits poked their heads out to look at the raging flames beneath the city, their eyes full of horror. The Wuhuan people in the sea of fire had nowhere to escape, and there were many "fire men" screaming and messing around. Under the reprimand of the general, the recruits began to clean up the city, and the corpses of the Wuhuan people were thrown out of the city one by one, and the corpses of their robes were carried to the urn city.
"Heaven damn Han people, I, Su Fuyan, are inseparable from you!" Looking at his desperate subordinates in the sea of fire, Su Fuyan roared angrily, but he didn't have the slightest solution.
Today's siege is basically like this, the Wuhuan people retreated to the camp in despair, and those who were still alive in the sea of fire could only be left to fend for themselves. The two-day siege lost more than 8,000 people, Su Muyan couldn't believe it, the Han army in the past saw that he either fled or surrendered, but now these Liaodong troops are as hard as stones, and they can't say anything at all.
"Damn Chuliju!" Su Muyan once again greeted the women of the eighteenth generation of Qiu Liju's ancestors.
But the matter has come to this point, if you don't conquer Changli City, not only will you not be able to explain, but your reputation will inevitably be greatly damaged. The fire burned until late at night before it was extinguished, and the north gate of Changli under the firelight looked so majestic. At this moment, the recruits of the Han army at the head of the city are not comfortable at all, and the smell of roasted human meat comes, which causes the recruits to vomit for a while, and the veterans are slightly better, after all, they have seen it once, but I believe that they no longer want to eat meat in a short time.
After dawn the next day, Su Muyan came to Changli City with his personal guards, looking at the tragic scene in front of him for a long time, in order to prevent the army from breaking down and demoralizing, Su Muyan ordered the whole army to pull out the camp to the west gate of Changli. The scenery of the human purgatory at the north gate still spread among the Wuhuan army, and they were already terrified at this time.
