Chapter Eighty-Eight: Reinforcements Arrive
"Roll oil! Ignition! ”
Seeing that the defenders at the head of the city were about to be overwhelmed, Pei Renji didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately ordered the use of his killer weapon prepared in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After receiving the order, the soldiers at the head of the city quickly poured down the hot oil juice that burned one by one, and the rebel soldiers under the city wall were burned by the hot oil juice and howled wolf, and the oil juice flowed down the cracks in their clothes and armor into all parts of their body skin, and suddenly there were very large blisters, and several soldiers who were drenched in oil on their heads, the appearance was even more miserable, the hot oil juice was like a corrosive agent, tearing the skin on their faces, peeling off the muscles, burning off all the hair, revealing a terrifying skull, The soldiers could not even scream, because the hot oil had spilled into their mouths and burned their throats.
There was a cloud of smoke coming out from under the city, there was oil smoke, there was water vapor, and the color was even light red, which made people feel frightened after seeing it.
Pei Renji stared coldly at the tragic situation below the city, the morale of the rebels had been hit a lot, just need to add another fire, he waved his hand, hundreds of archers on the head of the city bent their bows and arrows, they all used rockets, with a whoosh, hundreds of rockets fell under the city, and in an instant, the oil juice that had been poured before was ignited, igniting a raging fire.
The rebels on the ladder panicked, screaming and fled from the ladder, and more soldiers hurriedly wanted to extinguish the fire, the rebels below the city head became a mess, and at this time, the defenders on the head of the city jointly picked up a thick rolling log, smashed down against the siege ladder, this smash was like chasing ants on a rope, and immediately cleaned up the soldiers on a siege ladder, countless soldiers who were still on the ladder were smashed down by heavy rolling logs, and the bones were broken and broken. And under the city wall is now a sea of fire, so even if they fell from the top of the city and did not fall to their deaths, unless they were unharmed, otherwise it would be difficult to escape from the sea of fire, for a while, together with those soldiers who were splashed with boiling oil before, there were a large number of soldiers under the city head in the sea of fire, the tragic scene attracted the attention of all the rebel soldiers, they forgot to attack, forgot that they were on the battlefield, only saw the miserable state of their robes, only saw their miserable death.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
In the distance, there was the sound of a horn, probably because it was a bit far away, so the sound was not very clear.
This voice was not very obvious, it did not attract everyone's attention on the noisy battlefield, all the soldiers' eyes were on the raging fire at the head of the city, Wang Shiyun felt bad in his heart, he obviously felt that the fighting spirit of the soldiers seemed to have dropped a lot, they were obviously frightened by this method of the enemy.
"Big brother, let's withdraw our troops, everyone has no fighting spirit!"
Wang Shiyun walked to Wang Shichong's side and said to him anxiously.
Wang Shichong turned a deaf ear and suddenly said, "Listen, did you hear any sound?" ”
Wang Shiyun pricked up his ears and listened for a while, but he didn't hear anything.
"No, I didn't hear anything!"
Wang Shichong shook his head and ignored him, he was sure that he had indeed heard some sounds, as if it was the horn of the army gathering in formation, and at this moment, a soldier dragged a long voice and shouted loudly: "Report ・・・・・・"
The soldiers galloped all the way to Wang Shichong, hurriedly got off their horses, knelt on the ground and said to him: "General, an unknown number of troops have appeared outside Luoyang City, and they are killing inside the city!" ”
Wang Shichong was taken aback: "What? Whose army, where did it come from, and why didn't you scouts report it earlier? ”
The soldier couldn't answer, Wang Shichong was furious, and said to the soldiers around him: "This person delayed the military situation, and he couldn't spare it, so he dragged me down and cut it down!" ”
The soldiers rushed out like wolves, set up the scouts who were kneeling on the ground, and dragged them away, until far away, the scouts could still be heard begging for mercy.
Wang Shichong felt that the matter was very tricky, and the scout did not make it clear, and he did not say whose army was outside the city, how many people came, and whose banner it was.
"Wang Long, Wang Quan, Wang Kai, and Wang Su listen to orders!"
The four very young generals turned over and dismounted together, half-kneeling on the ground: "The last general!" ”
Wang Shichong said: "The four of you each took your headquarters to guard the four gates of Luoyang, and lost the city, I will ask you!" ”
The four of them clasped their fists together: "The last general has an order, and he must guard the city gate and ensure that he does not lose it!" ”
Wang Shichong nodded, looked at Wang Shiyun, and said to him: "Wang Shiyun listens to the order!" ”
Wang Shiyun also hurriedly knelt on the ground, "You lead 10,000 cavalry to defend the imperial city, if the defenders in the city dare to go out of the city, you can kill them, don't miss a person, if you get away, I'll ask you!" ”
Wang Shiyun got up to take the order and left with 10,000 cavalry.
Wang Shichong took a deep look at the imperial city surrounded by a sea of fire, turned around with his main army and went out of the city to the outside of Luoyang City.
Outside Luoyang City, Li Mi looked at the bursts of black smoke rising from the city, and was still listening to the sound of fighting from the city, Wang Shichong had definitely discovered him, and he had no intention of attacking the city immediately.
Beside him, more than a dozen generals were separated from each other, holding weapons and looking at Luoyang, and there was really a taste of seeing the world inside.
"Duke Wei, the army has been assembled, and it is ready to launch an attack on Luoyang!"
Wang Bodang came from behind and came to Li Mi's side.
Li Mi shook his head and said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry, the person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet!" ”
Wang Bodang was puzzled, the defenders in Luoyang City must not have much defense at the moment, if they attack at this time, they must be the most unprepared, and they are the most hopeful to take Luoyang City in one go, why did Duke Wei give up this great opportunity and not make a move?
However, when he saw that Li Mi looked like he was in his chest, he finally didn't say this sentence.
Li Mi is good at figuring out people's minds, he still has a deep understanding of his subordinates, and when he saw Wang Bodang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he had already guessed what he was thinking.
"Is General Wang wondering why I didn't take the initiative to attack, but dragged it out like this? Do you think that I have wasted a great opportunity, if the Sui army in the city is vigilant, it will be too late for us to send troops again! (To be continued.) )
