Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Attack on Ruoxian

Hearing the news of the war in the north of Daqin, Lin Yuyan really didn't dare to gamble, and after ordering all the soldiers and horses that day, and rewarding the soldiers with the poor grain that was transported, he ordered to attack the city tomorrow.

The next day, unlike the usual wheel battle, more than 20,000 soldiers of Qin Jun were displayed in front of the city wall of Ruoxian.

All of a sudden, it made the Shouwang army on the wall of Ruoxian County a lot of alert, and then lit a beacon fire and reported to the direction of Xiangcheng.

But before the wolf smoke was lit, Shou Wangjun heard a rumbling sound.

"Knock knock!"

When the general of the Shouwang army looked over, he saw that a few big guys suddenly appeared in the Qin army's array, but after lifting it, a boulder several feet long fell on the city wall.

Looking at the top of the city wall that was shattered in an instant, Zhan Tired's heart sank, if the Qin army continued to use that big object to throw stones to attack the city, how long would Ruoxian still be able to support it in his hands?

Qin General Dong Ying was also very satisfied with the power of this [catapult] this time, but still instructed the generals: "Adjust the angle, the goal is to concentrate on the center of the city wall!" ”

"Whoa!" Seeing the power of the catapult, which is beyond the reach of human beings, the soldiers under his hand also sighed excitedly.

First the sickle chariot, and then this catapult, is His Highness's brain really a soldier who is not born? 〗

During this time, whether it was Yulin Jun or Yunmengjun, it was rumored that Qin Gongzi Ying Yan was a soldier, and for some reason, even Lin Yuyan himself did not deny it.

Looking at the riot on the wall of Ruoxian County caused by the trebuchet, Dong Ying also raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and muttered: "This is self-defeating, but it's not enough!" ”

Immediately, Dong Ying ordered people to carry out several large carts of wooden barrels from the army, which were the "secret weapons" transported from Daqin Shanglin Yuan according to His Highness's orders.

"Next...... Just look at the power of this thing! ”

Dong Ying licked her lips, and then she sacrificed the order flag, ordered the front army to press in, several catapults advanced again, and the soldiers around the catapult also quickly adjusted the direction of the catapult.

Then, a soldier lifted several wooden barrels onto the trebuchet, and then the trebuchet slowly charged up.

"I must take Ruoxian today!"

Dong Ying said confidently, and then waved the order flag categorically.

"Fat!"

Suddenly, the huge rocker arm of the trebuchet turned, and one by one the wooden barrels were thrown quickly onto the city wall of Ruoxian.

"Bang! Boom...... Boom! ”

There were several smashing sounds, and the barrel slammed into the towering city wall of Ruoxian.

Then, the soldiers of the Shouwang Army didn't know what it was, but the soldiers standing at the bottom of the wind were the first to smell the disgusting stench, and then the brave stepped forward to find out what it was?

It was when he saw a mixture of yellow-brown and miscellaneous black, and some people directly concluded that this was the filth of the Qin army.

Zhan Lei also heard the reply from the soldiers on the wall, but he realized that something was wrong.

Just the battle blow that the county received, the occupation has already raised the threat of this group of Qin troops to an incomprehensible height.

Let's ask the Qin army to disgust himself with filthy things?

Occupy is not convinced.

Looking at it from a distance, there were wooden barrels being thrown over the city wall, and the closest to Zhan Ti was less than ten zhang, and the wooden barrel was directly smashed, and the foul-smelling objects inside splashed up directly, and even fell on Zhan Ti's face.

Wrong!

The Qin army has bombed!

Zhan Lei was vigilant, and then realized that no matter what, the battle on Ruoxian's side must also be known to the direction of Xiangcheng, so he sent a team of cronies to personally send the military intelligence to Xiangcheng.

Sure enough, the sergeant of King Youshou shouted at Zhan Lei: "General, the Qin army has already advanced the stone-throwing chariot!" ”

Sure enough, dozens of soldiers pushed the trebuchet forward, as if to pull the distance, and Fang Xia Zhan was vigilant: "Let people prepare bows and arrows, don't let the Qin army take the opportunity to seize the city wall!" ”

Due to the power of the trebuchet of the Qin army, there were only a dozen of their own soldiers, who were smashed into a pool of blood by the boulder, and even the corpses were not preserved.

Seeing this, Zhan Yu pulled out his bronze long sword, and said viciously at the moment: "If you dare to escape from the battle, kill immediately!" ”

Zhan Ti also killed a few soldiers, and suddenly the surrounding soldiers were also frightened, and Fang Xia rushed to the edge of the city wall again.

"Deng Ren, who doesn't know each other......" Zhan Lei scolded.

At present, there are more than 20,000 people in the Shouwang army in Ruoxian County, but there are only more than 5,000 people belonging to the original Shouwang army, and the rest of the people are also subdued after entering Nanjun.

Its loyalty can be imagined.

Even, Zhan Ti believes that these people wish the Qin army would capture Ruoxian.

After all, the inertial thinking of hundreds of years in the Ji and Zhou periods, the difference between the Central Plains and the Jingchu barbarians, has always remained in the hearts of the people of Hanshui Zhuji.

Under the side, Zhan Lei also sent a team of cronies and soldiers, one is to command the deployment on the city wall, and on the other hand, it is also to monitor the soldiers of King Shou who are guarding the city.

Zhan Ti also went to the city in person, and the catapult looked very heavy, even if there were dozens of soldiers around it, it was moving very slowly.

However, the Qin army did not intend to push these catapults under the Ruoxian city wall, and it was not surprising that they were occupied, but the position where the Qin army advanced the chariots was just the edge of the range of their own archers.

Such a tactic that makes Zhan Ti extremely annoying, but also makes Zhan Ti jump like thunder.

But......

has been paying attention to the Qin army's movements, but also the pupils are constricted, and the Qin army actually loaded bundles of firewood on those catapult chariots.

Is this going to throw firewood?

Is it ...... Is the Qin army going to burn the city?! 〗

Suddenly, Zhan Lei's heart fell to the bottom, and immediately, Zhan Lei noticed that the firewood was quickly ignited by the Qin soldiers.

Then he noticed a foul-smelling yellow-brown or miscellaneous black liquid on the city walls.

Previously, Zhan Zheng had already predicted that the Qin army would never be untargeted.

Qin Jun first threw out these liquids that resembled filth, and then he was about to throw over the burning firewood.

Occupy the burden, and it is already a reaction.

Could it be that these filthy things are things that fuel fire?! 〗

This idea was quickly confirmed, and the fireball thrown from the Qin army's array smashed into the city wall in an instant.

And then......

It's a raging flame...... Imprinted in the pupils of the occupied.

How could a few bundles of firewood cause such a big fire?!

It's those yellow-brown and miscellaneous black liquids! 〗

Zhan Ti had already guessed it, but seeing the fire with his own eyes, Zhan Ti still couldn't believe that that filthy thing could actually fuel such a big fire!

However, in an instant, the guards of the city woke up with screams caused by the burning fire.

This is Ruoxian...... I'm afraid I can't hold it!
