Chapter 159: The Fire Begins

"Oh my God!"

"What is this, and why is it so huge?"

"Good girl, I seem to have seen this thing, but I can't remember what it's called for a while."

"It'...... It is trebuchet. ”

"Yes, it's a trebuchet, it is said that this big guy is specially used to siege the city, and the effect is very significant."

"Huh...... What's wrong with all of you? ”

"What should I do?"

"What should I do, it's a trebuchet!"

For a while, the soldiers above the city tower were all flustered.

If it were on the regular city walls, then none of them would have such a nervous look. But now where they were, the south gate of the Northern Imperial City, was just a crappy wall, and it couldn't stop the trebuchets at all. Defending against trebuchets here, there is no hiding place at all, only passively beaten, and there is no resistance at all.

Liang Sha, who was standing on top of the city tower, also had a painful look on his face at this time, he never thought that Liu Mei would send his trebuchet team to the Northern Imperial City.

Now Liu Mei hopes to fight a quick battle, take the Northern Imperial City at lightning speed, and not give the opposite Yanhuang Kingdom a chance.

"What a calculation!" Liang Xu smiled bitterly.

"General, what should we do?" Vice General Li had never seen such a battle, and said helplessly: "General, if you can't think of a way, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be scattered." ”

"How?" Liang Sha stared at him for a while, and then said helplessly: "Immediately order all the generals, each of whom commands the soldiers and horses of their headquarters, give up the defense of the south gate, and evacuate the residents in the south of the North Imperial City, and then set a bonfire near the south gate to connect all the residential buildings in the south city, and then set fire to it." ”

"I'm afraid the general will ...... if he does this!"

Vice General Li had some doubts, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Sha and asked, "Then do you have a better way?" ”

"Once the last army enters the Northern Imperial City, then we will only have a dead end, and we have no ability to resist at all, and now there is only one way to prevent fire, try to delay time, and wait for the army of Yanhuang Kingdom." Liang said.

"The Admiral understands." Vice General Li nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.

A moment later, only Liang Sha and his own guards were left on the tower.

"Liang Xu quickly put down and captured, then General Ben, I can also give you a decent way to die, otherwise once I attack, then you will wait for the five horses to split the body." The iron-masked general on the opposite side said.

"If you want to kill me, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." At this moment, Liang Sha calmed down a lot and said: "The guy who doesn't even dare to show his face wants to kill me, it's just wishful thinking." ”

"Whether it's wishful thinking or not, you'll know in a moment." The Iron Mask General waved his hand, and then the trebuchets that had just arrived began to prepare.

In order to speed up, some of the heavy parts on the trebuchet were unloaded by the maintenance personnel. Now we are starting to reassemble it, and at the same time, we put heavy stones on the stone throwing part.

Seeing that the other party began to assemble, the siege equipment Liang Xu waved his hand, and then the guards beside him began to evacuate one after another. Liang Xu didn't want to let his children and nephews continue to die.

A moment later, the first stone threw and finally flew onto the walls of the Northern Imperial Castle.

Bang Dang!

The south wall of the North Imperial City was punched out of a big hole, and the already fragile city wall swayed for a while, but there was no other performance.

However, Liang Sha knew very well that as long as the trebuchets on the opposite side attacked with all their might, then this city wall would collapse if it couldn't hold out for a few waves.

After Liang Sha retreated from the city wall, he arranged for people to place some heavy objects in the tunnel at the south gate, trying not to let the last army enter the northern imperial city easily.

Poof!

A soldier who was responsible for carrying the rocks accidentally appeared at the place where the rocks fell and was directly beaten into meatloaf by the boulders.

Immediately after that, from time to time, one or two soldiers would appear, killed by boulders falling from the sky, so that Liang Sha's mood was covered with a layer of frost.

Fortunately, the southern city wall is not very wide, so after ten minutes, it has been dealt with.

However, just after the Northern Imperial Castle was ready for defense, some cracks finally appeared in the wall south of the Northern Imperial Castle, and these cracks continued to crack and crack again.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the southern wall of the city wall, almost incomplete.

Whoosh ......!

Several more large rocks fell from the sky and slammed steadily against the southern wall.

The next moment, the city wall, which was not very tall, began to shake violently, and at the same time, some of the pieces on it began to fall, and then in the eyes of everyone, the entire southern city wall, like an old man who could not stand steadily, fell directly to the ground.

Poof!

The entire Northern Imperial Castle shook.

After seeing the collapse of the city wall, the iron-masked general of the Last Legion commanded: "The Last Legion will charge forward, and the trebuchet department will immediately retreat and return to the imperial city." ”

However, as soon as the Laster Legion rushed into the Northern Imperial City, Liang Sha on the opposite side sneered and said, "Ignite the fire." ”

For a time, ten thousand arrows were fired in the north of the imperial city, and those arrows with fire dragons rushed into the houses, firewood, and black oil. The entire southern part of the Northern Imperial Castle turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

Some of the soldiers who were not fast enough to evacuate turned into burning men.

"Retreat, speed for Lao Tzu to retreat."

The guards of the last legion roared loudly. Under his command, the soldiers of the Last Legion began to retreat slowly.

On the other side of the fire, Liang Sha pulled Deputy General Li over and said, "This fire can last for an hour at most." So after an hour, the main battlefield was the street battle centered on the castle guard. You immediately lead the men into the surrounding towers to lay in ambush, wait for the Last Legion to appear, and then attack and kill. ”

"The last general commands."

Vice General Li nodded, and then led the soldiers and horses of the East Camp and began to go down one after another to arrange.

As for Chen Ying's northern camp, Liang Sha personally led them and built a position in the middle, ready to block the attack of the Last Yue Legion.

At the same time, the Meng'a Niu cavalry corps, which had accelerated its march to the north, had already surpassed Yan Ming's elite troops and became the closest soldiers and horses to the Northern Imperial City.

When Meng Aniu saw the fire in the Northern Imperial City, he immediately urged: "Speed up the march, strive for an hour, and rush into the Northern Imperial City for me." ”

In the imperial city in the south, Liu Mei looked at the fire in the northern imperial city and sighed: "Liang Sha is also a general, if he is not a traitor, I really don't want to exterminate him." ”

At this time, Huang Huang's mansion, he looked in the direction of the Northern Imperial City, and muttered: "It seems that it will not be long before this land will belong to the surname Huang again." ”
