Chapter 160: Bloody Golden City (5)

Jin Cheng Jun threw down the torches at the head of the city and poured those pockets one after another, which were now contaminated with Zhao Jun's body and ignited the hot oil splashing on the ground around them. Originally, it was suddenly drenched by the boiling oil at the head of the city, which had already made these Zhao army foot soldiers suffer and howl miserably. At the center point where the boiling oil was poured on, many of the Zhao army's foot soldiers fell directly to the ground, dying.

At this time, these torches that were thrown from the city became the demons that the Zhao army under the city could not avoid. The fire that spread after coming into contact with the oil gradually became bigger and bigger from the dots at the beginning, and it seemed that it was already quite a prairie fire. Many of the Zhao soldiers' foot soldiers who were on fire were running and jumping around or rolling on the ground, hoping to extinguish the vigorous flames on their bodies.

At this time, the soldiers of Jincheng were on the top of the city, and they could smell the stench of burnt smell wafting from the city. There was a sea of fire under the city, and the temperature of the flames seemed to be close at hand, so that the Jincheng soldiers who were guarding the city were all shocked and unbelievably unbearable.

The infantry soldiers of the Zhao army who surrounded the shield wall under the city, and the engineering team carrying axes, hammers and chisels and other things, were all submerged in the sea of fire at this time. Even if a few people were lucky enough to escape the oil splashes and the sea of fire, they lost their minds and generally dropped their swords, shields and other weapons in their hands, and ran hysterically to the rear. Xuan was shot into a hedgehog by the crossbowmen of the Jincheng Army at the head of the city.

At this time, Zhang Lang, who was standing on the city tower, could no longer feel the kind of heart-palpitating vibration that he felt under his feet. However, hearing the miserable howl of the Zhao army's foot soldiers under the city, and seeing the scene of fire men running out of the city and scurrying everywhere, Zhang Lang's face also showed a few complicated looks.

On the arrow tower, just as those crossbowmen raised their bows and crossbows in their hands and aimed their arrows at the burning men running under the city, a general in the arrow tower raised his hand and shouted: "Stop! ”

The crossbowmen who raised their weapons in their hands, hearing this order, stopped their movements one after another, and then turned their faces and stared at the general with a puzzled expression. Shozo continued to chant and ordered: "If it is on fire, do not shoot." Unfired, casual. ”

The Jincheng soldiers who received the order put down the bows and crossbows in their hands and watched the dozens of burning men under the city scurrying around. And those Zhao soldiers who were standing solemnly with swords and shields twenty or thirty steps away from the city all witnessed this tragic scene under the city, and they were stunned for a moment.

Before, they had laughed at the comrades in the army who had besieged the city in the morning, but at this time, this hellish scene completely shocked them, and they had to secretly regret their shallowness and underestimation of the enemy.

The Zhao army foot soldiers who were on fire let out a desperate wail. Their cries of pain and pleas for help were never exchanged for the help of these Tongze standing behind them. The rest of the Zhao army's foot soldiers just stood behind with swords and shields in their hands, looking at them with shocked and fearful faces.

And when these desperate soldiers of the front team began to run wildly towards the neat and solemn robes in the rear, hoping to get their help, it was the sharp blade in the hands of Tong Ze in the army.

The general of the Zhao army in the formation, seeing those remnants of the soldiers rushing towards the formation, issued an order in a panic: "Those remnants who will flee back will be killed!" ”

After this stern order was issued, dozens of Zhao army foot soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation fell under Tong Ze's blade. When the cold blades were drawn from their bodies, the remnants fell to the ground with dead expressions. Only their clothes and bodies were still burning......

In addition to these Zhao army foot soldiers who fled back, the Zhao army under the city who were desperately struggling and rolling, their miserable howls also lasted for a long time, and they lasted for a long time.

When the tragedy, which lasted for more than two quarters of an hour, gradually subsided, there was only one charred corpse, a broken ladder and a shield under the head of Jincheng County, and the smell of burnt fire that lingered in the wind......

Hearing the rapid drumming behind the battle, these generals of the Zhao army continued to draw their long knives at their waists, and then either spoke Chinese or spoke Hu, and began to continue to force these Zhao soldiers under their command to advance and storm the walls of Jincheng.

Fang had just experienced the shock he had seen with his own eyes, and at this time, these Zhao soldiers who were advancing one after another under the persecution of their respective generals had long since lost their arrogant looks before. At this time, they all raised the shields in their hands with palpitations, and continued to slowly walk towards the city walls of Jincheng. The previous shields had burned all under the city walls. They had to rely on a few ladders carried by the robe behind the formation, and there were still people who stopped to watch, and only then did they continue to slowly advance the siege and rush vehicles.

When this wave of Zhao troops advanced here, they had already decided the outcome of this attack with hesitation and fear. Under the strict orders of the generals behind them, they rushed to the city with a ladder. Above the city, in the face of their fierce attack, there was still a continuous rain of arrows shooting down one after another. But with little success.

The Zhao army held a shield and forcibly rushed to the city, while the Jincheng army, whose morale was greatly boosted, rose up with a passionate and resolute fighting spirit.

As soon as the ladder of the Zhao army reached the head of the city, the generals of the Jincheng army who were guarding the head of the city used their spears and special hooks to forcibly push the ladders of the Zhao army generals away. The Zhao army under the city not only had to dodge the corpses of Tong Ze with green smoke everywhere under their feet, but it was also difficult to succeed in the operation of building a cloud ladder.

And as the city gate of the siege car slowly approached, a pot of hot oil was poured on the city tower, and then, in front of the city gate, the tragic scene of Fang Cai continued to be repeated.

And at this moment, Liu Yue, who was finally unable to bear the Zhao army's battle, looked at the few improvised trebuchets behind him that were already loaded with mud bombs and were eager to try, and waved his right hand.

With the tooth-aching creak of the trebuchet as it worked, the trebuchets threw the mud-covered stone projectiles behind their arms. After the stone projectiles flew away from the power arm, with a dull whistling sound, they headed towards their fateful landing spots. One of them crossed the city wall and smashed into an uninhabited dwelling dozens of paces behind the wall. The loud sound of stone bullets smashing through the walls of the dwellings caused the defenders at the head of the city to look back.

The two stone projectiles flew halfway through, and their momentum was exhausted. One of them finally flew over softly and smashed into the repeatedly rammed and reinforced wall of the Jincheng County city wall, and then made a loud noise, but only left a shallow pit on the city wall, and the stone bullet covered with mud fell into the pile of Zhao Jun's corpses under the city. The other one happened to fall into the pile of Zhao soldiers who were about to take a ladder to the city under the city, two soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest of the Zhao soldiers fell to the ground wailing.

Several stone bullets had been emptied, and Liu Yue, who was supervising the battle behind the battle, frowned, and secretly cursed the soldiers who tinkered with the trebuchet in his heart. However, the last stone bullet that flew out of this wave flew up to the city head of Jincheng County with surprising accuracy, and then with the momentum of wind and thunder, it knocked down several soldiers who could not dodge, and then knocked over an oil pot at the head of the city. The oil pot overturned, and the boiling oil poured out made the Jincheng soldiers and soldiers in front of him miserable. There were also several howls over the city. Then the soldiers crawled out of the boiling oil and were carried down the city by the robes beside them.

The stone bullet that knocked down the oil pot seemed to be just a small episode in this life-and-death battle. However, it has given Zhang Lang, the Jincheng Taishou who supervised the battle on the city tower, a wake-up call. Zhang Lang saw that the Zhao army under the city had set up ladders to prepare to enter the city, and after the battle, those trebuchets began to play the strings again. His heart had already risen to his throat, and he hurriedly ordered the people beside him: "Pour oil!" Fast! ”

With this order, the oil pots that were still at the head of the city were carried to the battlements, and many of the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao who were climbing the ladder or waiting under the city were all carrying their heads to meet the boiling oil poured down.

When the raging fire began to burn and spread under Jincheng City again, looking at the dead robes on the ground who were engulfed in flames and their bodies were gradually shrinking, and those who were not dead, they were already covered in flames, these Zhao army foot soldiers began to be terrified. Ignoring the obstruction and coercion of the generals beside them, they turned their heads and fled in the direction of the camp......
