Chapter 74: Red Flames
General Fang, who was sent as the vanguard by Gongsun Zhan, was overjoyed, and he knew very well what it meant for the gates of a city to be breached.
His soldiers could fight the Bohai defenders for the city gates without much effort, as if they were in a field battle, and they had an army of 100,000.
The 5,000 men and horses under his command died more than 1,000 in the siege of the city just now, but there are still more than 3,000 people who have the strength to fight again, not to mention that the morale of these more than 3,000 soldiers is high at the moment, and the sound of killing is shocking, because they know that victory is in front of them, honor is in front of them, and that is their chance to be ashamed.
Before General Fang gave the order, the soldiers under his command entered the south gate like a tide, and in front of the wolf-like Youzhou army, those Bohai defenders looked vulnerable, and General Fang personally copied the soldiers Ge under the protection of the guards beside him and also rushed into the south gate.
He looked up and saw that most of the defenders in leather armor and armed with swords were ordinary people in the city, although they had the heart to die and the courage, but they were not the opponents of his soldiers.
After all, the ability of trained soldiers to fight is far higher than that of ordinary people.
Those ordinary people who have just taken up arms are used to defend the city and have the ability to compete with Gongsun Zhan's army, if it is a soldier against a soldier, a general against a general, it will only be a torture.
It's just that General Fang is a little curious that those people who resist can't see the slightest fear in their eyes, but have an indomitable spirit, looking at death as home, and the pride of the horse leather shroud.
"Not good!" Fang Jiangyi-Ben-Read-Novel xstxt Jun was shocked in his heart, fearing that he would be tricked, so he hurriedly raised his head and carefully observed the surroundings, all of which were walls, which didn't seem to be ordinary houses, but like, yes, like city walls!
"Urn City!" These two words suddenly appeared in General Fang's mind, and he turned his head to see that the more than 3,000 soldiers under his command had already given up the cloud ladder siege and rushed into the urn city after him.
The urn city is to strengthen the defense of the city gate and pass, mostly to build a semicircular or square city outside the city gate, and set up defensive measures such as arrow towers, gate gates, and wall battlements.
Like a wall, the outer urn city is to protect the outside of the city gate, and build a square or semi-circular urn city on the outside of the city gate, but Guo Jia ordered people to build it inside the city gate.
To put it simply, it is still a city wall, but it is inside the south gate, and although the gate is broken, there is still an urn city.
"Tell the lord quickly, there is an urn city in the city! Take the ladder stake and continue the siege! General Fang grabbed the soldiers beside him and shouted angrily.
Although the south gate is broken, there is still an urn city, and Bohai City is still worry-free.
"Do you want to leave now that you're here?" Guo Jia stood on the city wall and watched coldly the movements of the enemy troops under the city, but there were two lines of tears on his cheeks.
His two lines of tears were shed for the five hundred soldiers and civilians who had been bait to lure the enemy into the urn city, watching the five hundred dead soldiers who had been killed by Gongsun Zhan's army not leaving a piece of armor, and the only dozens of soldiers and civilians who remained fell in a pool of blood one by one, only one breath still existed, but with the only strength to muttered to defend Bohai City.
The breeze was blowing, the air seemed very humid, Guo Jia looked up at the sky, there were dark clouds in the sky, which was a precursor to the coming heavy rain, Guo Jia whispered to himself: "Fortunately, the rain is not too early." ”
"Broken Dragon Stone, put it!" Guo Jia gave an order.
With Guo Jia's order, there was a sudden gurgling sound in the gap above the south gate, and a broken dragon stone weighing more than a thousand catties slowly fell.
Although the downward trend was slow, the heavy voice made General Fang tremble!
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" General Fang raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly saw that there were nine large hanging tanks above his head, and each water tank was as thick as ten people hugging each other!
"Retreat! Evacuate! "General Fang doesn't need to think about it to know what is in the water tank, it must be fire oil, and when the broken dragon stone seals the way out of the city, he and his soldiers will definitely die.
"Pull the rope and release the rocket." Guo Jia lightly spit out six words and turned to leave.
There is a saying in "Mencius", "A gentleman is far away from cooking", Guo Jia has always misunderstood this sentence before his rebirth, and thought that a manly husband should not cook, and cooking should be a woman's work.
After being reborn in the Three Kingdoms and studying with his master Hu Zhao, he realized the true meaning of this sentence, "A gentleman is far away from cooking", not to look down on chefs, let alone to be manly, and should not cook.
If you are not a chef, you will be unbearable when you hear the sad sound of animals when you kill chickens and geese in the kitchen, so you can say that the gentleman is far away from cooking.
Seeing the animals screaming like this, let alone the three thousand living people in the urn city.
With the pull of the rope, General Fang looked up and saw that the nine large water tanks were slowly turning, and the fire oil in the water tanks poured down like the water of the Milky Way, instantly wetting the whole body of most of the soldiers.
He turned his head to look at the city gate, the soldiers who had been smart kept crawling out, and there were tall people who tried to lift the broken dragon stone, he smiled faintly, how could the flesh and blood carry the boulder weighing more than a thousand catties, even if it was dozens of people, it would not work.
After a while, the broken dragon stone at the south gate slowly landed on the ground, and it was in vain to let the enemy troops in the city resist, and there were only more than 100 people who escaped from the urn city.
General Fang was in the urn city, and when he looked around, the four walls were covered with archers and sword and shield soldiers, and he saw those archers lighting the rags on the arrows.
Draw the bow and shoot indiscriminately.
The bows and arrows were like meteors and fireworks, which made him feel cold, but he also felt that the flames were so gorgeous and colorful, as if they were the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen in his life, or maybe it was the end of his life that made his heart full of unwillingness and nostalgia.
A moment later, with the volley of arrows and the sea of red flames in the urn city, the screams and wails of the enemy soldiers became quieter and quieter until they disappeared......
Gongsun Zhan saw the fire in the city, first he was overjoyed, thinking that the soldiers under his command wanted to attack the Bohai defenders who were rioting, and when he heard the wailing sound full of Youzhou accent, his heart was shocked, and he looked around, only to see that the south gate of the Bohai Sea was sealed by a boulder.
No matter how much the soldiers he sent to support him pushed forward, the imposing and excited defenders on the walls did not forget to attack his soldiers.
"Urn City?" Gongsun Chan laughed at himself and roared angrily: "Guo Fengxiao, how much effort do you want to ruin me, you are willing!" ”
"My lord, Bohai Taishou Guo Fengxiao invites you to gather in the city." A young man came with a horse.
Gongsun Chan raised his hands to face the sky, and did not pay attention to the young general, but whispered to himself: "Is it going to rain?" ”
Gongsun Chan knew in his heart that rainstorms and nights were not conducive to attacking the city, of course, sneak attacks did not count.
As soon as he slapped his war horse and galloped to the outside of the South Gate, three hundred steps away, he saw a young man standing in the city, wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, standing with his hands in his hands, it was Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!
"Brother Bo Jue, today you and I are gathered in the city, no distinction is made, I have urn cities at the four gates of the Bohai Sea, how can the victory or defeat be decided day and night, the rainstorm is coming, the soldiers are hard, it is better to withdraw the troops in Mingjin and fight again one day!" Guo Jia arched his hand and shouted loudly.
