Chapter 3005 Raise fire to the sky
From the top of the city, Qiu Erji saw the enemy building embankments and piling firewood piles under his nose, and at the same time vaguely saw Song Qi wearing Tai Chi clothes and dancing with his sword on the newly built high platform, like a Taoist priest who practiced the law.

Chu Erji couldn't understand what Song Qi's intentions were, but he was still very anxious.
He ordered his soldiers to throw stones from the walls.
Stand tall and throw far, throwing stones from the walls almost a hundred paces farther than on flat ground. The enemy soldiers outside the city could only move the catapult back more than a hundred paces.
However, in this way, Qiuerji's men and horses still couldn't get out of the city, because the gate of Liuyun County was almost sealed by huge stones. Moreover, although the stone throwing cart outside the city could not hit the city wall after retreating, it could still hit the position of the moat. It seems that the outside of the city does not want to attack the city, but it just does not want to let the men and horses of the Chur machine out of the city.
At night, hundreds of pyres piled outside the city were lit at the same time, and the fire was shining through the sky.
Hearing that Song Qi set fire to the sky, Yuwentai, the general of Liuyun County, couldn't sit still, so he climbed the city tower in a hurry and looked outside. I saw the fire outside the city, illuminating the dark sky red.
"What does the enemy want to do?" Yuwen asked anxiously, "Are they going to burn Liuyun County?" ā
"It seems that their intention is not to burn Liuyun County, because these fires are at least three or four miles away from Liuyun County." Chu Erji was also at a loss, "Alas, I don't know what Song Qi is doing!" It's building a dam to stop the water, it's raising a fire to burn the sky, and it's asking for rain, does he really want to flood Liuyun County? ā
Yuwen Tai glared at Qiu Erji, and roared a little impatiently: "What's the use of sighing, hurry up and find a way to deal with Song Qi, didn't the general say that you are a strange person who can match Song Qi?" You're not in vain, are you? ā
Qiu Erji lowered his eyelids, bowed down and said, "General Yuwen, don't worry, I will definitely come up with a way to deal with Song Qi." ā
Chu Erji thought about it, but he couldn't think of any other way, so he could only order hundreds of soldiers to go out to charge, he really wanted to have a death-defying charge like Song Qi, but the soldiers who went out were quickly wiped out.
The fires outside the city continued until the third day. At this time, even Yuwentai seemed to see the signs. The sky that was originally blue was blackened by Song Qi's fire, and the dark clouds rolled and the black clouds overwhelmed the city, and it seemed that it would not take much time for it to rain.
"Hey, it seems that he really asked Song Qi for rain!" Yuwen couldn't sit still anymore, he hurriedly shouted and ordered, "For today's plan, we can only chisel the city wall, let's go out and fight with Song Qi!" In any case, stop them from bursting the embankment and releasing water! ā
The method of the city can only let a few hundred people out, and it cannot form a large-scale assault. To form a large-scale assault, the only way to do this was to chisel through the walls.
There is no other way but to do this. He had no choice but to take 10,000 soldiers and horses, and began to chisel through the city walls with hammers and chisels.
When they were halfway chiseled, suddenly a few drops of water fell from the sky and landed on Churji's face. Chu Erji raised his hand to touch the water droplets, and tasted them in his mouth, which still had a bit of burnt smoke.
"Speed up the city!" Chull was very anxious and urged repeatedly.
The soldiers all picked up their hammers and smashed them at the bricks of the city wall, smashing them with a loud bang and flying rubble.
Most of the buildings are difficult to build and easy to destroy. If there's anything that's easy to build and hard to destroy, it's the wall.
After another half an hour, the city wall was finally chiseled open, and Chur ordered his 10,000 soldiers to rush out of the city first. They had carved a hole in the wall, but it was not enough for the catapults to pass through it. They can only charge physically.
Thinking that he was finally able to brave the stone rain and charge bravely like Song Qi, Qiu Erji felt an inexplicable strange excitement in his heart.
But...
As soon as they left the city, they were met by a boulder and could not move forward at all.
From under the cave, he looked at the opposite position, and could only see the monstrous fire, the smoke and the flying stones smashed into his face. He thought that the other party's catapult had withdrawn.
However, from the opposite position, Chur's every move could be clearly seen. From the beginning of Chuerji's digging of the city to the rush out of the city, it did not escape Bagan's sharp eyes.
Bagan has been hit three times by boulders, and has braved the stone rain to rush through the front twice, and is more experienced in how to use rocks to hit people.
Bagan ordered the boulders not to be hit elsewhere, but to concentrate on the places where people rushed out. Moreover, the scope of Bagan's attack was divided into five levels, one level covered a range of a hundred steps, basically covering half a mile from the city wall to the outside of the city. Even if you are lucky enough to dodge the blow of the first level, it will be difficult to dodge the blow of the second level. Even if you are lucky enough to dodge the blow of the second level, it will be difficult to dodge the blow of the third level. What's more, in addition to the fifth level of strikes, there is also the cooperation of powerful ballistas. Very few people are able to break out of the boulder's striking range, and even if they are able to break out of the boulder's striking range occasionally, very few people will be able to escape the ballista's fire.
Qiu Erji looked at the dense layers of flying stones in the sky, and then looked at the boulders that kept falling from his side, and couldn't help but cry and said: "Although the stone-throwing cart and ballista were made by my Qiu'er machine, but in the hands of Song Qi, their real combat effectiveness and lethality were exerted, if I did this at the beginning, where could I have the passivity I have today?" ā
When Chu Erji was stunned, the raindrops of beans hit his face one after another. He came to his senses, and the rain finally fell, and the next thing was to flood Liuyun County.
No, you can't let Song Qi flood Yunjun. Churk waved his three-section stick and hysterically ordered the soldiers hiding in the hole in the city wall: "Everyone follow me, rush along the moat to the embankment, be sure to hold the embankment!" ā
"Yes!" As long as they didn't charge in the rain of stones, these soldiers were still willing to obey Chuerji's orders. They all followed Chuer's plane cautiously along the moat towards the Liuhe River.
At this time, the sky was overcast and the rain was pouring down.
Song Qi had already come down from the prayer platform, took off the robe of the god Han, and resumed the general's attire.
Actually, he didn't want to be so Shinto. But for the people of ancient times, Shinto Tao was still necessary.
Zhuge Liang obviously knew that there would be a southeast wind in winter, why did he still have a ceremony to borrow the east wind? His set of rituals was all about encouraging the morale of the three armies.
Just like at this moment, everyone knows that it is the dry season, and you let the family prepare to break the embankment, prepare the boat, and prepare to fish people from the water, which of the ordinary soldiers will be truly convinced? If they are not convinced, it will inevitably be discounted when they do things, which will affect their execution.
Therefore, Song Qi could only learn from Zhuge Liang, wearing Tai Chi Taoist clothes, and wearing a cloak on the rain prayer platform to perform a rain prayer drama for three days.
The hard work paid off, and the rain finally fell.
The water of the Liuhe River has been blocked for three days, and it has risen three or four feet. A heavy rain, at most, can fill up the Liuhe River.
Next, the drama of flooding Liuyun County will really unfold... (To be continued.) )
