Chapter 558: Disregarding the lives of soldiers

Another round of clay pots smashed on the city wall, tung oil splashed everywhere, and the stench of some filthy feces permeated, which also made the faces of the soldiers on the city tower more and more ugly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, sprinkle it down the city tower with clean water, and clean it up for me as soon as possible." ā€

There was no way, most of the enemy's catapults were destroyed, otherwise with more than 100 catapults, they would have been able to start igniting at this time.

But the junior general below said bitterly: "General, you discussed with General Huang before, in order to cause greater losses to the enemy, all the boiling water was replaced with boiling oil, and the city tower did not have prepared clear water at this time......"

Qin Qiong was stunned, he and Huang Zhong originally planned to use boiling oil to stop the enemy from climbing the ladder, but now it seems that it is equivalent to moving stones and smashing their feet.

Looking at each other, Huang Zhong waved his hand and said: "Immediately gather the soldiers who are on standby under the city, collect water from every household, and if they can survive this catastrophe, exchange it for them according to the proportion of exchange for food." ā€

The young general's face was bitter, the enemy army was besieged in the city, and there were a lot of food reserves, but the clear water was precious, how many people would be willing to exchange it for food?

But the general had an order, gritted his teeth and had to do what he was told, so he could only turn around and leave, and made up his mind that even if it was a robbery, he must transport the clear water to the city tower.

Cao Cao asked the catapult to continue to throw the clay pots, turned his head and waved his hand: "Rush the carts in formation, arrange all the remaining rushing carts, control them by the dead soldiers, and pull the ploughing cattle up, don't disturb this group of beasts and hurt the army." ā€

The soldiers under his command acted according to orders, and each went to make arrangements without mentioning it.

King Li in the distance was extremely surprised, and said, "What does this Cao Mengde want to do, do these hundreds of ploughing cattle have to let them crash into the wall and die?" It's a waste......"

Even though he was as smart as King Li, he didn't expect Cao Cao to do a desperate plan.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was already clear water swaying at the head of Xinye Castle, but the number was very small, and it was difficult to work.

Cao Cao waved his sword and said: "Rush to the car formation, the dead soldier will take the hook and sickle, serve Dahua, and die a thousand times." ā€

Even if Cao Cao wanted these soldiers to die, they had no hesitation, although they didn't want to die, they were not afraid of death.

"Kill!!"

The sound of the horn sounded with the sound of fighting, and 10,000 soldiers rushed out, some of them operated the rushing car, some carried the ladder, and of course, the most of them were the soldiers with hooks and sickles on their waists and bows and arrows in their hands, intending to shoot at each other with the city.

The sound of "whizzing" arrows was incessant, and many soldiers fell as a result, but the reason why the dead soldiers were dead soldiers was because they had thrown their lives away, and at this time they only knew to do what they were told, and they could not even care about the deadly rain of arrows.

"Put! Blow up the city for me!! Cao Cao's face was solemn, whether he succeeded or not depends on this round of offensive, as long as he can successfully deceive the city, it is a sure thing to collapse the city wall and trap the enemy army.

"Put!"

The sound of a boom broke through the air, and a huge fireball fell from the sky and fell straight into the inner city, where the patches were all mixed with tung oil and filth, and at the moment of the explosion of the fire pot, the splashing sparks ignited it, and in an instant the dead grass and rotten leaves burned together, and even outside the city could be seen that the air was slightly distorted because of the high temperature.

The scorching waves of air were rising, and the living could not get close, but because of the angle of the fireball, it did not affect the outer city wall for a while.

Qin Qiong's face was overjoyed, and he roared angrily: "Don't care about the fire in the inner city first, kill this group of enemy soldiers who don't want to die for me, I will remember your great achievements." ā€

The movement in the city was also watched by the army, so naturally they would not let go of this good opportunity, and the equipment defending the city was thrown down without life, just to stop the footsteps of the dead soldiers, but it was still difficult to stop the enemy who was pouring in like a tide.

Cao Cao counted the time, and in less than half an hour, the 12,000 people actually fell by 5,000.

Gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Bombing the city from the front can't give the enemy a chance." ā€

Ling the standard-bearer took a deep breath, did he still reach this situation, he wanted to attack his brothers.

The general order cannot be violated, and it took almost a lifetime of effort for the standard-bearer to convey the general order of the Chinese army.

The catapult turned its angle and aligned itself on the wall, where there were still dense groups of brothers climbing the wall......

"Put!"

Cao Cao calmly spit out this word, no one knows what he thinks in his heart, but one thing is certain, Cao Cao's desire to win this battle surpasses everything.

The fireball flew out, but everyone who was unprepared was stunned, including King Li.

Huo stood up with a slam and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, the fireball smashed on the city wall, and the splashing sparks ignited Dahua's soldiers, and one by one the painful and struggling fire men fell, and the city wall was ablaze.

roared: "Ma Chao, immediately go to the Chinese army to ask Cao Cao, who gave the order to extend the butcher's knife to my people." ā€

Ma Chao hugged his fists, and he didn't come back for long, and he was called out by King Li again.

At this time, the city wall has been eroded by the fire in many places, many rushing cars are also contaminated with sparks, the soldiers are earthy, but they still keep impacting the city wall, they are destined to die, this is a sad song.

"General Cao, Your Majesty asked...... Kindness? General Xiang, what are you doing?! ā€

Before Ma Chao finished speaking, he was cut off by Xiang Yu and couldn't move.

Xiang Yu smiled bitterly: "The general's order cannot be violated, if Your Majesty has no other orders, I can only act according to General Cao's words." ā€

And Cao Cao also sighed: "General Ma will stay here for a while, and after the victory of this battle, I will personally explain it to Your Majesty." ā€

Ma Chao was speechless for a while, Cao Cao is iron-hearted, it seems that King Li can't stop it if he wants to.

The fire was still spreading, and at this time, a new round of fire pots was smashed, and after a crackling sound, the naked eye could see that the bamboo fragments in a crack burst, and the originally stable stone fell with it......

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "The city wall is almost hot, light the oxtail and crash into the city wall." ā€

This is Cao Cao's intention, if it is just burned, it will definitely not bring harm to the city wall, only the soldiers desperately climb the city wall, in order to rely on igniting their bodies, to cause a larger area of fire, Cao Cao to do not just capture Xinye, but to kill more than 70,000 troops in the city, all he wants, is to collapse the city tower.

"Boom, boom!"

The bamboo chips in the cracks of the city wall burst, and the rushing car slammed into it, and the stones of the city wall were shaking with the naked eye, and they were no longer as stable as before.

The sound of "rumbling" resounded throughout the earth, and at this time, the soldiers lit the tail of the ploughing ox, and the ploughing ox ran wildly under the pain, and its direction was the densely populated place under the city wall.

"Boom ......"

After a loud bang, although the ploughing cattle had not yet rushed, a total of two rushing carts under the city had already made contributions, but they could not escape being buried by the collapsed city wall, and dozens of people could not survive...... (To be continued.) )
