Chapter 292: Playing with fire and self-immolation

"Generals, do you have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy?" Zhang Ji saw Jiang Wei and the tooth general returning, and everyone had no fighting spirit, and he was even more anxious. Vertex updates are the fastest

Outside the city, the Shu army has carried several large wooden rafts, placed on the piled earth mountain, and then, from the back to push out two assembled catapult vehicles, directly pushed up the earth mountain, under the support of the large wooden row, steadily stopped in the middle of the mound, is pointing at the city, aiming towards the city tower.

Zhang can be regarded as understanding, the enemy is making full use of the time, the catapult is equipped with one for one, the mound is piled up one zhang with one zhang, look at this frame, and wait for the mound next to it to be two zhang high, they will move the car to the mound over there, and then the current mound of soil is three zhang high, and then move the car back.

It's really a pile of dirt and a siege.

"What else can I do, keep shooting arrows, stop them from piling up dirt mountains." Someone muttered.

Zhang Ji shook his head, how many arrows can they shoot in this city?

Moreover, he saw that because the enemy was piling up a mountain of earth, the soil was very soft, and if the arrows were not hit, the arrows were inserted into the soft loess, and the arrows were not damaged. Vertex updates are the fastest

This, what is this, loess borrowing arrows?

Jiang Wei was on the side, his mouth moved to speak, and he hesitated again.

Zhang Ji saw it in his eyes and encouraged: "If you have something to say, you can say it." ”

Zhang Wei turned his head to look at the generals, and then said to Zhang Ji: "My lord, the enemy's catapult is made of wood, right?" The protective plate on it is also wooden, right? And they flattened the ground with wooden rafts, it was better to put more rockets, and burn them with a fire. ”

Well? This seems to be possible! All the generals couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

Or do you have a way! Zhang Jigang wanted to praise him, but he swallowed it back, and hurriedly ordered to prepare oilcloth rockets.

Just as they were preparing for this, the Shu army outside the city pushed two more freshly assembled trebuchets, and soon pushed them onto the two-zhang high earthen platform.

Moreover, the throwing of the three catapults in front of him has now blocked the city gate tightly.

Zhang Ji looked anxious, urged all the archers to hurry forward, ignited the rocket, and shot at the sleigh of the Shu army together. Vertex updates are the fastest

At the same time as the enemy lit the torches in broad daylight, Ge Liang saw it and immediately ordered the slinger sergeant to change the ammunition.

Packed into the throwing basket were large and small clay pots.

That's right, the kind of jar with alcohol and oil.

At the same time as the enemy fired rockets, four catapults were launched at the same time, sending these jars and jars to the city walls and towers.

I only heard a crackling sound, some of the altars and jars smashed on the city wall, some fell on the battlements, some flew over the city wall, fell into the city, and most of them smashed on the city gate tower.

The aroma of wine is misty, and the oil stars are splashed everywhere.

Immediately, the torches and rockets in the hands of the defenders immediately ignited the hops and oil splashes, and only the sound of a sigh could be heard, and everyone's hair and beard, clothes, battlements, and gates were all burned, and they all screamed in fright.

The Shu army under the city burst into bursts of joy:

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!"

"Don't play with fire, you must play with fire!"

No one in the city heard what they were shouting, and one by one they rushed down the wall, or ran along the wall, as far away as possible. Vertex updates are the fastest

This person is crowded, and the person who was not burned in the first place will be rubbed on the spark by others.

They were busy fighting the flames on their bodies, and how could they extinguish the fire caused by alcohol or oil.

"Take off your clothes, hurry up and take off your kimono! Hurry up and take off your clothes! "Someone who understands finally shouts out the words of understanding.

The Shu army outside the city, at this time, picked up the shovel, shoveled a few shovels of loess on the spot, covered the place where the wooden platoon hit the enemy's rocket, or scooped a few handfuls of soil, and wiped a few times on the catapult where the rocket was hit, and soon extinguished the fire.

Ge Liang looked at the enemies in the city running away in embarrassment, and leaned back with laughter.

The sergeants still shouted one after another: "Be careful of the candles, play with fire**!" ”

"Don't shout, don't shout." Ge Liang instructed the slinger sergeant, "Fight two more to see if we can burn the rope that ties the drawbridge, and save us from building a bridge." ”

The sergeant smiled while reloading: "My lord, such a small thing is difficult to aim." Vertex updates the fastest"

Ge Liang nodded and said: "Well, I know, try two, just hit two, even if you don't hit, I don't have so much alcohol and oil to play, this thing is expensive." ”

hit two, and sure enough, it didn't hit, but it made the fire on the tower of the city gate even stronger, and seeing that the building was already wrapped in fire, it was no longer clear what it was.

"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting." Ge Liang himself was distressed, "Hurry up, re-bury the loess, hurry up and pile up the city gate, and strive to pile it up to the height of the city wall as soon as possible." ”

In the city, Zhang Ji and all the officials and generals, most of them were anxious at this time, with their chests and backs exposed, and some even had only pants left.

Although Zhang Ji was protected by everyone, he only burned some eyebrows and mustaches, and he was fine, but he was the most ashamed person among them.

Most of the others are military generals, crawling in the pile of dead people, but he is a typical scholar, very particular about the image, touching the remaining beard, feeling that he has no face to see his father and mother.

"Who? Who's got the bad idea, who said it's going to attack with fire! "Some people are angry, and they have to find someone to vent.

At that moment, many people responded: "It's that little kid surnamed Jiang!" It's all what he said about burning the enemy's catapults! They are unscathed, but we are burned beyond recognition! ”

They all seemed to have forgotten that when Jiang Wei proposed a fire attack, they all nodded in agreement.

"What about the boys? What about people? See if I don't screw his head off! The man immediately roared, looking around for Jiang Wei's figure.

"It's just that something, always thinks it's smart, and comes up with bad ideas, and makes us miserable!"

"That guy is simply a spy of the enemy! Today, we have lost more than a thousand people and burned all of us like this! ”

"Get him out! I flayed him alive! ”

looked around, but Jiang Wei was not seen.

"That guy, where are you hiding? It's not going to open the door to the enemy, right? ”

"What kind of defection to the enemy, I think he is simply a spy arranged by the enemy!"

Zhang Ji hurriedly wiped away a handful of old tears and advised everyone: "Everyone calm down, calm down!" Listen to the old man. ”

The word "old man" played a role, and everyone originally had opinions about him listening to Jiang Wei, but seeing his current miserable situation, they also swallowed the words for the time being.

Zhang Ji said: "Now, we must no longer fight with our own people, everyone must work together to keep Jicheng from losing." ”

This is the case again, and the generals immediately couldn't hold back their rebuttals: "In less than two hours, more than 1,000 soldiers were lost, and all the officers were injured." If you keep guarding this little bit of people in the city, you will be gone in less than a day! You don't have to fill the two-day deadline set by people! ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, don't talk about this." Zhang Ji hurriedly changed his words, and waited for everyone to calm down again before asking, "I heard that back then, the first emperor Wei Wu relied on this catapult to beat Yuan Shao powerlessly, I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the power is really amazing." ”

No, everyone had just learned about it, but at that time, the catapult was still called a thunderbolt, and it only threw stones, but never set fire.

Zhang Ji sighed and said: "This catapult - alas, since it is so powerful, why didn't the first emperor Wei Wu improve and promote it and make more use of it?" If this thing had been used earlier, what city in the world could not be captured? It's been unified for a long time! ”

Yes, why is it that what we invented ourselves, which we did not make full use, was carried forward by the enemy?

When everyone thinks about it now, they all feel that it is indeed a pity, but no one speaks.

You can't scold Cao Cao for being stupid, right? (To be continued.) )
