Chapter 474: Attacking the city

Get up early to deal with the catapult, and use cowhide to connect, which can slightly block the power of the catapult, but King Li hid the catapult deeply, if it wasn't for the morning to disgust Cao Cao, he wouldn't use it at that time, but the time is not far away, and Cao Cao can't make a good response.

Just when the first round of stone throwing fell, a little cold edge appeared between the wall buttresses, and it was extremely cold under the sun.

The bed crossbow, a sharp weapon widely used in history, how could there be no him in the Tiger Prison Pass, and even the bed crossbow in the Tiger Prison Pass is more than Luoyang, with more than 300 frames, which are placed on the Tiger Prison Pass that stretches like a moat, pointing everywhere.

Whether it is attacking or defending the city, the role of the bed crossbow is huge, but King Li considered that the Tiger Prison Pass was no better than other places, so this siege banned the use of the bed crossbow and replaced it with a catapult with a greater blow.

"Put!"

There was an angry shout, too far away, and the city did not know who waved the sword to give the order, but as the sound fell, three hundred bed crossbows were released in unison, and the sound of clanging was endless.

The closest ones were those dead soldiers, one by one to protect the cloud car, and rushed forward desperately, although they had not yet rushed to the place where Xiang Yu and the others were fighting, but the strike distance of the bed crossbow was not much worse than that of the catapult, and the strength was gone.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the relatively simple cloud car exploded directly, and the flying debris pierced into the surface of the person's body, penetrating the entire body, and suddenly the whole body was covered with blood.

But the head of the city is not much better, after the catapult has been improved, the strength of the arm swing can be controlled within a range, although the number is not as good as the bed crossbow, but the lethality is not small.

Xiang Yu and the three of them killed each other, at this time Cao Cao ordered the soldiers of the urn city to attack, and there were more than 30,000 men and horses led by Cao Ren to rush out of the city, and shoot across the moat, their purpose is much simpler, that is, to rely on rockets to destroy the cloud car, to prevent the enemy army from erecting a road on the moat, otherwise the well will cross the river, and the advantage of the city head will be sharply reduced.

You attack and defend me, Li Wangjun has not crossed the river now, and only relies on catapults and wells to have a striking effect, so it is equivalent to a unilateral massacre, and more than 1,000 of the 20,000 dead soldiers recruited have fallen in a short time, and according to this trend, these 20,000 horses will not be able to support for long.

King Li's heart was heavy, and he grabbed the order flag of Gao Shun, and gave an order to the catapult behind the catapult to replace the stone blow with other objects.

Tung oil is a piece of Li Wang's heart disease, after all, he knows nothing about the method of oil refining, he can only rely on the relatively difficult to burn tung oil instead, a clay pot filled with tung oil, through the catapult sent to the city head to smash, then with fire to ignite, should have a miraculous effect.

King Li himself planned to use it again after a long attack, but the bed crossbows and archers at the head of the city were too fierce to allow them to kill our army, so they used them in advance.

In the new round of throwing, Cao Cao sensed that something was wrong from afar, this black object was not a stone.

When he landed at the head of the city, he found out that something was wrong, when Chen Qingzhi ambushed Li Guang earlier, he used this tung oil to pave the road, and now he knew what it was at first sight, how could he not understand what King Li wanted to do.

The color changed and said: "Immediately transfer the bed crossbow and the city defense equipment, order a team of men and horses to select the brave people, take advantage of the enemy's ability to get close, wash the tung oil of the city tower with clean water, and go as much as you can." ”

The words fell, and the catapult on the opposite side threw a round of tung oil again, all of which fell on the city tower, and some of them flew into the city, it seems that King Li wanted to stop the soldiers and horses at the head of the city and divide it into two parts.

Cao Cao's order was conveyed, and the cloud carts under the city finally had an effect, and three cloud carts were lucky to successfully set up the loaded wooden planks on the moat, and then a group of dead soldiers in cover shouted and rushed to the opposite bank, and the group of 30,000 archers rushed to the past without fear of death, and there were dozens of hundreds of people, and their faces did not change in the face of 30,000 people......

With a full view of the changes in the city, Cao Cao shouted: "The left wing bed crossbow hits according to the paved cloud cart, and the rest of the bed crossbows try to attack the catapult in the distance. ”

The order must not be violated, and immediately a bed crossbow turned around, and beckoned to the catapult that was faintly visible in the distance and was swinging its arms.

But after all, it was too far away, and the catapult was struck by the force of the fall, while the bed crossbow was shot over, and the distance was slightly insufficient.

But Cao Cao didn't have many regrets, after all, if King Li wanted to ignite the tung oil at the head of the city, he had to rely on the archers on the well.

But he was fortunate for this second, but the next second, his face changed greatly, and it was vaguely visible in the distance, dozens and hundreds of fires lit up, at first far away, it was just a small dot, and when it flew down from the sky, his face had changed.

It turned out that the dung that King Li used to disgust Cao Cao earlier was not without a target, through the sealed kiln tank, the methane gas of the dung could not be dispersed, and it was the most flammable, and if he wanted to ignite a fire in a large area, he had to use tung oil, so he had to take the lead in throwing tung oil.

As a spark, King Li only needs to load the jar of dung on the catapult, and ignite the tung oil that has already been smeared at the same time as the projectile, and then it will fall on the tung oil that was spread earlier, and the jar will be shattered at the same time, the dung is extremely flammable, just enough to burn all the tung oil, and there is no need for the well to play a role in it.

Just as King Li arranged, the first few blinks of an eye in the city were full of fire, although the area is not large, but it is a big blow to the enemy's sharp weapon bed crossbow.

Cao Cao calmed down instead, and ordered: "Order the soldiers outside the city gate to return to the city to defend, and the strength of the bed crossbow to hit the cloud car is reduced, and the soldiers are covered to enter the city first, so it is only necessary to block it slightly, and concentrate on hitting the well and the rushing car, so as not to cause damage to the city wall." ”

Cao Cao also had to give this order, he could not cause trouble to the catapult, so as long as King Li endlessly dropped tung oil, then this battle did not have to be fought, so he planned to stick to the head of the city, as long as the enemy army crossed the river, although there was one less line of defense, but King Li was worried that he would accidentally injure his own soldiers, so he did not dare to throw tung oil and fire unscrupulously.

And the three of Xiang Yu, who couldn't fight fiercely, also retreated, although Xiang Yu was fierce, but he was not the same type of general as Yang Zaixing, he was powerful, but he couldn't come and go freely among more than 100,000 people, so at this moment, there was an accident in the city, and he also had the idea of retreating.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yun's heavy head was a symptom of excessive blood loss, and the three of them left separately.

It's just that this battle Xiang Yu fights for two generals, and he can still gain the upper hand, and the name of the first person in the world is temporarily confirmed.

Seeing Xiang Yu leaving alone, many dead soldiers who didn't want to die rushed to stop him, but when the overlord crossed the river, the dragon and snake had to retreat, who could stop him?

Rampage all the way, but no one can do it. (To be continued.) )
