The lieutenant general named Aru immediately bowed down to receive the order, turned his horse's head and immediately rushed to the front of the battle again, and then 3,000 soldiers and horses replaced the disabled troops, pushed the ladder again, and launched an attack on the city wall.

This time, with the arrival of the newly replenished soldiers and horses, the offensive of the Jin army became more intense, and the Song army in the city under such an offensive of eliminating the other's strengths, the strength began to appear weak, after fighting for nearly half a day, the Song soldiers and soldiers in the city and the people who helped the war have also suffered heavy casualties, and the manpower is much tighter than in the morning, even the remaining Song army soldiers, many of them are also hanging the color insistence, and the physical strength began to be a little unbearable to such a non-stop attack, even a strong man like Gao Huaiyuan, They were all a little out of breath, not to mention the soldiers who had been firing arrows and stones since the morning, and many of them were so tired that they couldn't even draw their bows, and their arms were swollen and shiny, but they continued to hold on.

No one in the busy city noticed what the golden soldiers under the city were doing, everyone's main energy was on the Jin soldiers who were re-attacking the city, although they were tired, but still under the command of the generals, they fought fiercely with the golden soldiers under the city again, Gao Huaiyuan was careless, and he was hit by two arrows, fortunately, the armor was not bad, and he blocked the arrows for him, only leaving two small cuts on his skin, but he scared Li Ruohu who had been protecting him half to death, rushed over and hugged Gao Huaiyuan, hurriedly bandaging him.

"No, I'm fine, it's just a small injury! Ruohu, you go to the east of the city for me to see what the situation is there! If there is still strength left over from the east side of the city, let Zhou Hao send some people here to help! Just go! Gao Huaiyuan pushed Li Ruohu away, stretched out his hand and pulled out an arrow in his chest, and ordered him.

"I'm not going! Sister Liu'er specially instructed me to protect you at any time, and when I leave, there will be no one to protect you here! Li Ruohu actually shook his head and didn't agree.

Gao Huaiyuan was a little angry, at this time, this guy still remembered what Liu Er told him, and he dared to disobey his orders and disrespect, what a guy who admits death!

"Stupid, this is the front of the army, my words are military orders, you dare to disobey orders! Want to die? Give me a quick go, I'm not a short-lived ghost, you just need to go and get back quickly! I think this Jin Bing's attack is a bit weird, you go to the city again, inform the Chinese army to prepare the Saimen knife car, the wooden girl head and other things, ready to support the city wall at any time! Gao Huaiyuan ordered Li Ruohu again.

Li Ruohu saw Gao Huaiyuan angry, and also knew that the situation here could not be delayed, Zhou Hao was the most familiar with him, and it was useless for others to go, so he had to ask Gao Huaiyuan to take care, and then braved the rain of arrows shot from under the city, and ran wildly, towards the east city wall.

At this time, no one noticed that a large group of golden soldiers were covered by shields, carrying jars one by one, rushing to the foot of the city, and then shielding the view of the city, and sending the jars into the two pointed wooden donkeys one by one.

And the siege around the city is still going on, a large number of rotating Jin soldiers once again under the supervision of the Jin generals, climbed up the city, launched a new offensive on the city wall, with the physical consumption of the defenders, the artillery and arrows on the city are no longer as dense as the original, so that the situation at the head of the city is much more tense.

When Gao Huaiyuan was personally picking up a fork to overturn the ladder of the Jin soldiers, seeing this situation, he really couldn't help but want to transfer the reserve team to the city to support the resistance here, at this time, a man wearing the clothes of a servant ran up to the city, and found Gao Huaiyuan, and shouted to him:

"Lord Gao, Ezhou sent another boatload of good things, and also sent five hundred township soldiers, Lord Jiang sent a small one to send these things, and the township soldiers also brought them over!"

Gao Huaiyuan, who was worried, was overjoyed when he heard this, this is really a charcoal in the snow! It seems that Zhao Fang has not forgotten Huangzhou City, and under such circumstances, he promptly replenished them with soldiers and imperial equipment, so he immediately shouted: "Hurry up and transport things up, and the township soldiers will also be replenished!" Hurry up, the situation is a bit critical here! ”

"Yes, my lord!" The officer immediately agreed, and was about to turn around and beckon to speed up, but as he kept to his waist, a stray arrow shot up by a golden soldier struck him in the temple and went straight into his head, and the officer did not even let out a scream, and fell headlong on the wall.

Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand helplessly, letting people drag the corpse of this official down, at this time, the newly arrived villagers carried some strange-looking boxes in a panic, and under the leadership of a Song general, they boarded the city.

"Who's the main commander here?" As soon as the Song general led by him went up to the city wall, he shouted loudly.

After Gao Huaiyuan knocked down two long ladders that had been erected on the city wall one after another, he turned his head to look at the newly arrived Song general, and shouted: "I am!" Hurry up and bring your people to help, huh? …… What are you carrying? ”

This Song general obviously hasn't adapted to such a bloody fierce battle scene, and is a little panicked, but after hearing Gao Huaiyuan's words, he still came over with the cat's waist, and beckoned these villagers he brought to come forward to help, a group of rookie villagers scattered in the city in a panic, and they couldn't adapt to the tragic scene of this kind of war for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, these soldiers and generals at the head of the city are all old fritters, as soon as they saw that there were rookie villagers bravely entering the city to help the battle, they took the initiative to call these new township soldiers over, and loudly ordered them to do what they should do, but they seemed very familiar, so that these new township soldiers did not make a big mess.

"Don't be afraid! Hurry up and help, brothers, or let the golden soldiers enter the city, and no one will survive! Kill the gold thief ruthlessly! ......" some of the veterans loudly encouraged the recruits.

At this time, the newly arrived Song general also came to Gao Huaiyuan's side, and while carefully dodging the arrows, he said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Lord Gao, humble Lu Fang, I am specially ordered by Lord Zhao to come to Huangzhou to help in the war!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan is interested in greeting him at this time! So he immediately asked him again, "What are these guys you brought this time?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, these are the new fierce fire oil tanks in Ezhou, which were originally intended to be used on naval warships, but Lord Zhao said that Huangzhou City may be able to use them now, so he ordered the humble to bring these things over!" This Lu Fang hurriedly replied, he didn't have time to see if Gao Huaiyuan's face was good at this time.

"Fierce Fire Oil Tank?" Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly rejoiced, he had seen this kind of thing in the martial arts book written in the Northern Song Dynasty before, but he had never seen the real thing, he didn't expect to see such a sharp weapon here today, and now he had another layer of protection.

"Good! Quickly set it up and burn it for me! Let the golden soldiers under the city taste the power of our Song people! Gao Huaiyuan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered this Lu Fang.

After Lu Fang received the order, he hurriedly beckoned people, and began to move the heavy fire oil tanks to the battlements, and ran around to make various preparations before launching.

Gao Huaiyuan was really happy now, because he knew too well the power of the fierce fire oil tank, this was the world's earliest flamethrower and shooter! You must know that this thing looks bulky and has a limited range, but when used in war, it is a big killer, because this fierce fire oil tank is filled with genuine oil, and it is also preliminarily refined oil.

Gao Huaiyuan was actually interested in this fierce fire oil tank a long time ago, but because this thing is really rare, he has never had the opportunity to see the real thing, but today he has fulfilled this wish, and he was transported at such a critical moment, how can he not be happy?

He had checked the information on oil from various books, and also knew that China had found oil on the ground in Gansu a long time ago, but after the Song Dynasty, the territory of the Han people was shrinking day by day, especially after the Southern Song Dynasty, so that they lost the area of self-produced oil and could only rely on imported oil!

It is said that the maritime merchants of the Song Kingdom used sea ships to sail all the way to the Great Food Country, where they obtained oil and then transferred it back to the Song Kingdom for use, which may also be the origin of the earliest oil trade! In addition to using oil for warfare, the Song people are said to have refined this kind of thing, and first used bitumen in gunpowder to control the burning rate of gunpowder, and used oil to make stone candles and use it as a lubricant, so oil is not too strange to the Song people.

And right now, these fierce fire oil tanks carried to the city wall are exactly what Gao Huaiyuan urgently needs, and things will be much easier to do now! Although Gao Huaiyuan was in wartime, he couldn't help but lean over, and took a detailed look at the new weapon in front of him, only to see that this fierce fire oil tank as a whole is made of cooked copper, a boxy cabinet, there are four feet below, and there is a cooked copper pipe above the cabinet, you can see that there is a pump tube behind the copper pipe that can be pulled, which is obviously used for launching and pressurizing, and the front end of the pump tube has a complex structure, Gao Huaiyuan can't see what is there, but he roughly knows, This should be the key to the fierce fire oil tank, which must be used for ignition.

Sure enough, with these fierce fire oil tanks were laid on the city wall, Lu Fang, who was familiar with the operation of this kind of thing, immediately led people to ignite the front end of the pump, Gao Huaiyuan saw that the front end of the original fierce fire oil tank actually hid a tubular gunpowder tube, so he immediately suddenly realized, I can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients who invented this kind of thing, it turned out that the ancients used gunpowder as the ignition of the fire tank, and then with Lu Fang's order, there was a strong man behind him to pull the piston rod, and then push the piston hard, I saw a ball of flame immediately erupt violently from the front end of the pipe, and fell in the air, immediately igniting a cloud ladder below, and igniting a raging fire.

One by one, the golden soldiers who were sprayed with fierce fire oil suddenly turned into live fireballs, and fell down from the ladder with a terrible scream, no matter how good the armor they wore and how good the shield was, they could not stop the burning of such a flame, and the air was suddenly filled with a smell of burning human flesh, and the ladder, even if it burned into a huge torch, billowing black smoke rose into the sky.

With the eruption of several other fierce fire oil tanks, the north wall of Huangzhou City presented a tragic scene of burning the city, and the cloud ladders that were barely pushed to the city by the Jin soldiers became torches in an instant, and the rolling flames covered the sky with billowing black smoke.

The destruction of the golden soldiers' ladder immediately frustrated their attack, and the defenders of the city saw such a powerful thing appear at the head of their city, and their morale rose again, and their tired bodies seemed to be suddenly full of strength.

"Damn it!" Susan Anzhen looked at the fire dragons spewing out of the city, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pain in her flesh, and scolded.

This army is the flower hat army that he trained single-handedly, once upon a time followed him to fight in the north and south, almost rarely defeated, broke the red jacket army, Yang An'er was defeated and died, killed Liu Erzu, defeated Li Quan's army, and almost beat the red jacket army to the point that it could not gain a foothold, and then was ordered by the gold lord to go south to deal with the Song army, and the siege of the city was almost invincible, these soldiers did not dare to say that each elite was abnormal, at least in the Jin country, it can be called a brave army, after this time the troops went south, it was all the way to the ground, take the loess pass, take Macheng, capture Qizhou, Under the arrows of his soldiers and horses, all the Song troops were broken and sunk in the sand, but when he thought perfectly, the small Huangzhou City had become a hard bone that he couldn't gnaw.

Seeing that the invested elite soldiers were burned to a crackling sound, even a general like Fusan Anzhen, he was a little unbreathable, such a war of attrition, it was really not what he thought, 30,000 troops besieged Huangzhou for nearly a day, but still did not capture half an inch of the city wall, and also damaged generals like Hu Lu Thorn, which undoubtedly became a big joke in his career as a horse.

It is also the Song army, but why is the Song army in Huangzhou City so difficult to deal with than the Song army encountered in the past, and Fusan Anzhen is now more certain that there must be a Song army in the city, only this explanation can make sense.

Fusan Anzhen secretly gritted his teeth, he wanted to see if his army could take this Huangzhou City in the remaining two hours, because he still had a trump card that he hadn't used, and whether it could be successful depended on the next blow.

Seeing that the offensive of the golden soldiers under the city was blocked with the help of the fierce fire oil tank, Gao Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, this was the third time they repelled the attack of the gold soldiers today, and after the help of the fierce fire oil tank, Gao Huaiyuan's confidence was ignited again, and he became more and more confident that Huangzhou City would become a nightmare for the Jin army, so he rearranged the defensive force at the head of the city, and finally set his eyes on the pointed wooden donkeys that were clinging to the city wall.

These things have been on the city wall for a long time, due to the continuous attack of the Jin army, they are unable to deal with these things with all their strength, although they have also carried out repeated blows, destroying several of them, but there are still many pointed wooden donkeys tenaciously survived under the arrows and stones at the head of the city, and a large number of earth and stones are continuously thrown from below, which shows that the Jin army is bound to attack the city, if they continue to be allowed to lean there, it will be a huge threat to Huangzhou City.

Gao Huaiyuan stepped into the top of an enemy tower, and the soldiers immediately stepped forward and used their shields to shield him from the golden arrows flying up from the city, so that he could observe the situation under the city wall with peace of mind.

At this moment, Gao Huaiyuan was able to have the opportunity to really take a look at the situation at the foot of the city wall, the city wall was full of stumps and broken arms, most of which were the corpses of the Jin army, but there was also no lack of corpses of the soldiers defending the city, a large number of broken siege equipment fell outside the city, mixed with the corpses, many places were still burning with raging fires, looking from the side, the originally flat city wall, under the blow of the boulders thrown by the Jin army, became potholes, and even the female walls in many places have been destroyed by the boulders, The blue-gray city walls were littered with blood that had begun to turn black, as well as large black spots of smoke, as ugly as sores, and the smell of smoky fire in the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

And the most shocking thing is far from these, Gao Huaiyuan clearly saw at this angle a few pointed wooden donkeys full of arrows under the city wall, a large number of earth and stones were thrown out by the golden soldiers hiding in it, forming a mound of earth at the foot of the city wall, for which the golden soldiers also paid a lot of price, and the pointed wooden donkeys were covered with the corpses of the golden soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Gao Huaiyuan turned around and asked the herald, "Has there been news from the city, how deep has the Jin army dug into the city now?" ”

The herald was hanging on one arm, and the red blood was still oozing out of the cloth belt, and after hearing Gao Huaiyuan's question, he immediately replied: "Lord Qiyu, Lord Jiang in the city is leading the crowd to monitor the movements of the Jin soldiers, and now the Jin soldiers have begun to gradually stop excavating, and it seems that they have also noticed that the city has already prepared, and there is basically no movement of excavation at this time!" Lord Jiang asked the little one to inform the adult, please rest assured, he will lead the crowd in the city to stop the golden soldiers from digging into the city! ”

Gao Huaiyuan was a little relieved after hearing this, and felt that Jin Bing gave up digging at this time, probably thinking that it was unlikely that they would dig into the city in a short time, after all, they wanted to dig a tunnel several zhang long from under the city wall in a short time, and it was a little difficult, so they would give up!

So he turned his gaze to the array of golden soldiers outside the city, and saw that after the golden soldiers were frustrated again this time, they retreated to the outside of the city river under the cover of the archers, and seemed to be rearranging their forces, and the two sides once again entered the crossbow and crossbow fire, and the battle situation was temporarily stable, and it seemed that the golden soldiers would still attack the city again, but it would also take a certain amount of time, so he turned his attention to the battle situation on the other side of the city wall.
