Chapter 550: Fire Oil Appears
~~~~~~
At this time, at the head of Haizhou City, Li Yuanqing was just about to fall asleep, but this sudden, thunderous sound like a landslide made him suddenly jump up from the simple bunk. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Next to him, Chen Zhong, who was sleeping and was snoring constantly, also suddenly woke up from his sweet dream, and suddenly turned over and sat up, "Yuanqing, what happened?" ”
Li Yuanqing's face was gloomy.
He made a lot of calculations, considering the various siege methods that the Houjin army might use, but he never dreamed that God would make such a big joke with him.
At the moment when the Jin army was about to attack the city, it actually rained, and it was still such a fierce rain......
"Big brother, the situation is not good. Let's go out and have a look. ”
As he spoke, Li Yuanqing took the lead and strode out of the city gate.
Chen Zhong also reacted, hurriedly lifted his saber, and rushed out of the door.
At this time, the rain was already very heavy, and the crackling was almost like pouring beans, and even with the light of the torches, the visibility suddenly became extremely low, and you could see seven or eight paces away.
As soon as Li Yuanqing walked to the steps of the city gate, a herald hurriedly came over to report: "General, the Tartars have begun to fill the river." They're going to attack the city! ”
"Dog's day! Walk! ”
Li Yuanqing took a hard bite and strode up the steps.
Chen Zhong also rushed over, and couldn't help but point to the sky and scolded: "God, you don't have long eyes!" Isn't this aiding and abetting! ”
Listening to Chen Zhong scolding behind him, Li Yuanqing's mind calmed down a little.
Something has happened, even if you scold all the eighteen generations of the old slave's ancestors, it will not solve any problems.
The only thing that can be done now is to deal with it calmly.
Coming to the city, the soldiers on duty here were also a little panicked, the rain was so heavy that the bird guns had no way to fire, even if the figure of the Tartar was more than a dozen steps away from the city, desperately filling the moat with sand bags, but they had no way.
"General, the Tartars are fast. With this state of affairs, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can fill the moat. ”
"General, there is a river filled by Tartars one mile to the north."
"General, there are Tartars filling the river half a mile to the south."
"General......
Soon, more and more heralds quickly transmitted the surrounding information to Li Yuanqing's location near the city gate building.
Chen Zhong was already a little anxious, and he couldn't care about the heavy rain, so he walked quickly in front of Li Yuanqing and shouted: "Yuanqing, this rain is too big, and firearms must be not good." You can make the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers go up first, and jam a few points of the tartar bulldozing. The rain will definitely get heavier and heavier, and it is impossible for the Tartars to fill the river too steadily, so let's put a batch up and kill a batch! ”
Li Yuanqing nodded vigorously and shouted: "Let Duan Xiliang guard the north and let Lao Tzu stare to death!" If there's a half-point difference, let him come to me! Xu Kuroko, Junko! ”
Xu Heizi and Junzi were not far away, and hurriedly hurried over, "General." ”
Li Yuanqing originally wanted Shunzi to stare at the southern section of the city wall, but after thinking about it for a while, he still gave up this idea and shouted to Xu Heizi: "Heizi, I'll hand over the south to you!" Death is also for Lao Tzu to resist! ”
Everyone has been drenched in soup.
Xu Heizi has followed Li Yuanqing for so long, how could he ever be so embarrassed? Hurriedly shouted: "General rest assured, the city is here, and the city is dead!" These dog tartars have turned the sky upside down! Come with me, brethren! ”
"Yes!" Dozens of personal soldiers of the 3,000th Corps hurriedly followed Xu Heizi and hurriedly rushed towards the south.
"Junko!" Li Yuanqing shouted.
"Humble duty!" Junzi was also a little anxious, but Li Yuanqing didn't speak, and he didn't dare to mess around, so he could only wait here.
"You hurry up and lead someone to prop up the hanging household, let the bird gun soldiers possess under the hanging household, and see how many bird guns can still be used! Fuck Lao Tzu for a fuck dog's day! ”
"Yes!" Junko also reacted, and hurriedly greeted the pro-soldiers, and ordered the pro-soldiers to greet the soldiers and began to clean up the hanging households at the head of the city.
The hangings are all broken quilts, plus all kinds of broken animal skins, cowhides and other anti-manufacturing objects sewn, how to be strong.
It's a pity that most of these hangers have a lot of holes, but this is also something that can't be helped, they are defensive tools themselves......
At this time, although the rainproof effect of the hanging household is not too good, and it is extremely heavy after being wet by the rain, this is the only means that can prevent rain in the city.
None of the bird guns dared to slack off, and hurriedly and desperately propped up the hanging household, hid underneath, and saw whose bird guns were still useful.
With Li Yuanqing's loud shout, one after another instructions were quickly passed down, and the originally somewhat erratic city head was slightly stabilized.
Chen Zhong also shouted loudly, summoning his sword and shield soldiers and pikemen to step forward to fill the vacant seats left by the children of the Immortal Battalion, while the Bird Soldiers also helped the Bird Soldiers of the Immortal Battalion to support the hanging household.
After a while, Shunzi hurriedly rushed to Li Yuanqing's side, "General, there are still two or three hundred bird guns that can be used." Where to put them? ”
Li Yuanqing's brows furrowed tightly.
On this side of the city, there are more than 2,000 bird guns in the immortal camp, but at this time, there are only so many bird guns available, what the hell is this......
Relying too much on firearms, especially arquebuses, really has fatal drawbacks.
Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered Sun Chengzong's words, "Yuanqing, I'm not worried about anything else, it's just that your journey is really smooth......
The key is that the hanging households are propped up, which is bound to occupy a lot of space, and the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers do not have enough space to play, so they can only place the firepower of these treasures on both sides of the landing point of the Houjin Army, and let the area of the landing point space out.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly yelled in Junzi's ear and said the arrangement, and Junzi hurriedly went to work.
At this time, the moat not far below him had been cut off by the Houjin army.
The water of the moat of Haizhou City is flowing, and it is difficult to fill the river at first, but once a section is intercepted and the river is blocked, it is easy to fill the river in other places.
Chen Zhong couldn't help but smack fiercely: "Yuanqing, the speed of the dog day is very fast!" We can't afford to skimp on firepower any longer! ”
Li Yuanqing nodded emphatically, "Come on, let the bird soldiers fire at full speed, don't let them rush over so smoothly!" ”
"Yes!"
The herald hurriedly stepped forward to give the order.
Soon, the 'bang bang bang' bird chirp sounded, but with less than 300 bird guns, it was obviously impossible to form a scale, and the sound was fragmentary, making people feel unconfident when they listened to it.
Moreover, coupled with such heavy rain, the crosshairs of the bird gun projectile not only lost a lot, but also greatly reduced its power.
These Houjin troops in front of them are basically double-armored, or even third-class elites, and their bodies have already been wet by heavy rain, which has invisibly added a lot of protection.
Unless it is critical, it is very difficult for the bird to inflict direct damage on them.
Not far from the city wall, Amin was personally supervising the battle, and he soon discovered the situation, and couldn't help laughing: "Warriors, rush, rush!" Ming Gouzi's bird gun is not good! Now it's better to burn the stick! Fast!! Rush up! Capture Li Yuanqing, the dog thief alive! ”
The morale of these Houjin troops under the city was suddenly greatly boosted.
They had been preparing for a long time, and they had been recuperating for a long time, even though their bodies were very heavy after being soaked by the heavy rain, they roared like wild beasts, set up a ladder along the fulcrum that had just been built, and rushed towards the city head.
Chen Zhong couldn't help it anymore, and personally went over there to supervise the battle, shouting loudly, letting the pikemen suppress these Tartars who were rushing into the city.
But the heavy rain was too heavy, not only was the vision not good, but the bodies of the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers were also soaked by the heavy rain, and it was invisibly a lot heavier.
At this time, you can only rely on the blood and martial arts in your chest.
These Tartars were all elite and fast, and in a short time, more than a dozen people had already rushed to the head of the city, entangled with the guarding Ming army.
The heavy rain soaked the clothes of both sides, and the visibility was not good, and the clothes were wet and sticking to the body, and they could only judge friend and foe based on their hairstyles, weapons, and voices.
For a time, the entire city was in chaos.
Li Yuanqing became more and more calm at this time.
'There is calm in every big event'. It has always been Li Yuanqing's motto.
At this time, in such a state, it is not easy to use the hand ~ grenade ~ bomb.
The main thing is that the hand ~ grenade ~ bomb needs a fuse burning process to complete the explosion, but the heavy rain is too heavy, and many hangers have begun to leak rain, which requires the pitchers to control the precise time of one to two seconds.
But at this time, the process of hand ~ grenade ~ bomb obviously cannot be so accurate, in case of accidental injury, it is not a joke.
The point is that there are already Tartars rushing up, and the pitchers simply can't make accurate throws.
Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled coldly.
At this point, he couldn't hold back much.
His baby oil can only go into battle in advance.
Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to gather the tartars in a normal state, have a burning ~ bullet rain, and burn the money rat braid.
But at this time, the weather was too bad, and the Jin army seized this opportunity again, Li Yuanqing could only choose to separate the two armies first, suppress the momentum of the Jin army, and at the same time, let the Ming army have more time to react.
"Come on, get on the oil! Fast! Don't be stingy! It's all for Lao Tzu to bring up. Li Yuanqing shouted loudly at the herald soldiers beside him.
"Yes."
How dare these heralds slacken? Hurriedly spread the order to the public.
Li Yuanqing's fire oil was piled up in the shade on the inner side of the city wall.
Most of them are filled with pine barrels sealed with pine oil, which is similar to the oil barrels of later generations.
Some of them are served in clay pots the size of small watermelons. The mouth of the clay pot is very thin, just like the shape of a pear, that is, the burning ~ burning ~ bomb carefully developed by Li Yuanqing.
The fuse is connected to the pear mouth, on the one hand, it is convenient to accumulate power during the explosion, and on the other hand, it is also so that the pitchers can have a grip point and make it easier to throw.
It's a pity that in such a state, they obviously can't make a gorgeous debut.
There were already a thousand auxiliaries on standby here under the city wall, but at this time, they didn't care whether they were auxiliaries or soldiers, and everyone worked together to carry oil drums and incendiary ~ bombs to the city.
Li Yuanqing would not hesitate any longer, and roared loudly, asking the soldiers to pour the treasures in these oil drums down the city wall into the water in the moat below.
After a while, the strong smell of fire oil mixed with the rain began to fill the air, becoming more and more intense.
Li Yuanqing shouted a few words to Niu Gensheng, Niu Gensheng knew himself, ran quickly to a hanging household, blocked the wind with his body, and carefully took out the flint and the fire fold wrapped in oilcloth.
After a few minutes of hard work, the fire fold was finally ignited, how could he hesitate? Hurriedly took out a fuse soaked in oil in the incendiary ~ bomb, lit it carefully, and threw it into the moat under his feet.
In a moment, there was a 'flutter', and by successive pieces, 'flutter' was a piece.
It was as if Mars had hit the earth, and the oil and Mars reacted instantly, and after a series of small explosions, the red monstrous flames, against the heavy rain like poured beans, suddenly rose in the moat.
