With Lu Bu's order, it was the ballista battalion that rushed out first.

The guys of the ballista battalion suffered a lot of losses in the battle a few days ago and the results were not big, although Tian Fan didn't say anything, but they couldn't stand it, from Mi Fang to the most ordinary soldiers who were responsible for carrying all kinds of ammunition to the ballista truck, they all held their breath. Today, Tian Fan fought far beyond the previous losses, and abolished Jiang Yiqu's water army, they thought that if the ballista could not play the role that the ballista should have at this time, then the ballista battalion of more than 2,000 people could be disbanded immediately, and they could go home to marry their daughters-in-law and have babies to live a good life.

The remaining more than 180 ballista carts were rushing with an astonishing momentum and a great shock. They split into three groups and dispersed to the perimeter of the three walls, after which they stopped their cars and threw oil cans at the arrow towers on the walls.

Mi Fang is crazy, at this time he no longer cares about any losses, he only knows that if he doesn't burn all the arrow towers of Jiang Yiqu today, he doesn't plan to come back alive. This guy, who had always been hiding in the army formation, and only appeared at the time of the order, stood uncharacteristically by the ballista car.

Each vehicle of the ballista battalion is equipped with twelve soldiers, in addition to two coachmen, two ballista gunners, four strong men who are responsible for winding, and three porters who are responsible for carrying various ammunition, there is also a technician who specializes in overhauling vehicles, that is, soldiers who have been specially trained by the Tianjia workshop and the craftsman battalion to deal with the general problems that are prone to occur in ballistas and cars. In peacetime, each chariot was equipped with four non-commissioned officers, a coachman, a ballistamen, and two stringmen. And today, they are crazy, and all the manpower of each car is on the front line. The turtle shell on the ballista cart was also removed in order to launch and aim as quickly as possible.

The ballistamen carefully watched the distance, and said in a loud voice: "Three at the elevation, two hundred and twenty paces away, fire oil bombs, winding!" ”

The two stringers laboriously pulled the bowstring, and the ballista man himself took a canister of oil and placed it on the ballista, lit it, and re-aimed it before firing.

The oil bomb made a graceful curve and slammed into the target's turret, igniting a skyrocketing fire.

The ballista nodded in satisfaction, but it didn't take long for him to be satisfied before he noticed that the fire on the turret was slowly getting smaller. He lowered his face and shouted: "Two hundred and twenty paces away, fire oil bombs, five consecutive shots!" ”

Five consecutive launches, there are four oil bombs perfectly hit the arrow tower, one hit the top of the arrow tower, the fire on the arrow tower was extinguished, extinguished again, after Jiang Yiqu's soldiers on the arrow tower were all burned to death, the arrow tower finally ignited a sky-high fire, can no longer be extinguished.

The ballista man smiled and said in a loud voice: "Thirty steps forward, wind, fire oil bombs!" ”

The coachman drove the cart forward about thirty paces, while the stringer and ballista man worked together to wind the ballista, and the rest of the crew of the cart followed with the wheelbarrow jolting. At the end of the winding, the ballista man took the oil bomb handed over by the porter under the car, placed it on the ballista and lit it, and after aiming, he said in a loud voice: "Two hundred and forty paces away, three .five points above sea level, oil bomb, one test shot, fire!" ”

There was a loud bang, and the oil bomb hit the city wall in an arc, and the ballista man gritted his teeth and said: "Elevation four, oil bomb, one test shot!" ”

This time, it hit. The ballista man learned to be obedient this time, and before the other party could extinguish the fire, he shouted: "Four elevations, fire oil bombs, three shots!" ”

……

In less than a quarter of an hour, no less than ten fire bombs were fired from each ballista cart, and all the arrow towers in the city were finally burned. However, without the armor of a turtle shell, they also paid for nearly a hundred casualties.

But at this moment, they don't care, they must win Dong'anping today.

Mi Fang said: "Pass my order, change stone bullets and crossbow arrows, and shoot freely!" ”

Free fire is not a casual fire, but the ballistamen chooses his own target. As this order was laid, the soldiers of the ballista battalion drove their carts around the battlefield, where they stopped their carts and fired crossbow arrows or stone bullets to suppress them.

"Two hundred and ten paces away, two .five at an elevation, crossbow arrows, winding!"

"Two hundred and forty paces away, three .five at an elevation, crossbow arrows, fire!"

"One hundred and eighty paces away, four elevations, stone projectiles, fire!"

……

At the end of July, the weather is not able to stand in the sun at all, and after a little longer, even if you don't suffer from heat stroke, you have to shed a layer of skin. Tian Fan no longer thinks that his face is his own, after the sun exposure, some peeling, coupled with the sweat beads that keep dripping, now he just feels that his face is a little hot, and the corners of his eyes are a little painful, but he estimates that it will be red at night, hot and painful, and the skin will continue to peel off in the next few days, and it will be very painful and itchy. He also knew that not only him, but most of the generals and soldiers who went to the battlefield today would have such an encounter, and all the soldiers would spend their lives in pain tonight, and in the next few days, the army would definitely be full of wounded soldiers in the real sense.

As far as his intentions were concerned, he thought that the battle should be stopped, the soldiers had just had breakfast, and now that the sun was in the west, it was time to be hungry, and the sun was too poisonous. However, he couldn't give the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops. When the battle comes to this point, it depends on who can endure it, who can hold it, who can endure it, and if it can hold on, the victory will be yours. In this case, if he gives the order to retreat, he is not a qualified general.

Watching the soldiers keep climbing up the city wall and being pushed down, Tian Fan sighed. It is said that human life is not as good as a dog in troubled times, and when people don't take their lives as their lives and don't take their bodies seriously, it's really that human lives are not as good as dogs.

Tian Fan turned his head and said to the five sheep who had just rushed back: "You go back to the camp now, Yuanren and Xiaozhi prepare a lot of tea soup, all the soldiers and generals who went out tonight will definitely be sunburned, and the wounds must be soaked in the tea soup, or used a cloth strip stained with tea soup." In addition, Shi Yuan, Kong Ming, the two of you go back to the camp to arrange for the soldiers to cook more mung bean soup, and send it over immediately after it cools, the more the better, you know the method of making ice with nitrate, make more ice, and send it over together. Bo Yan, you go and tell the doctors in the medical camp to prepare them, there must be a lot of soldiers suffering from heat stroke today, and we must try to treat them as much as possible, I don't want to see a soldier who died of heat stroke. ”

The five of them took the order and left, Tian Fan looked at Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xian, let all the archers in the army press up, and your back warriors can also go up, they have superb archery skills, and they can effectively suppress the other party no matter what." Also, half of the crossbow battalion that the Lord had given us was pressed up. In addition, I didn't expect this battle to be fought to such an extent today, but now it seems that we still have the advantage, and since the soldiers don't want to retreat, let's end the war today. If you want to move your muscles, I won't advise you again. By the way, let the soldiers change into leather armor, the iron armor is too heavy, and the weather is so hot, it is not as good as leather armor. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll go right away. ”

Tian Fan shouted: "Drum cheering!" In addition, the order was sent down, and the soldiers were rotated to attack the city, and each army could not fight continuously for more than half an hour. ”

Since you can't stop fighting, let's minimize non-combat damage.

The rumbling drums shook the ground, and the ordered archers and crossbow battalion soldiers rushed to Dong'anping.

Jiang Yiqu's current state can be described as exhausting, all the arrow towers have been burned, but the ballista battalion of the Xuzhou army has not been withdrawn, and their accurate shooting has made him suffer enough. Many of the soldiers were protected by large shields, and as soon as they showed their heads, they would be knocked down by their stone bullets and shields. Their threat was too great, so Jiang Yiqu sent his own archers to line up inside the city, and then kept shooting arrows outside the city. But in an instant, so many arrows came out of nowhere, shooting accurately at the archers inside the city from outside the city, and more than half of his thousands of archers were lost. Now, his bad days have come.

The soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy losses, and the reserve soldiers and civilians had all been sent to the city, but they still could not recover the decline. Jiang Yiqu and his guards were like firefighters, there was a lot of pressure, and there was a gap, so he ran there.

Having just killed a few soldiers who had climbed the city wall, Jiang Yiqu threw away the long sword in his hand, took a fork from the ground, and fought his way up the ladder with the help of several guards. As soon as the ladder fell, he sat down on the ground against the wall, and took a large shield behind his back, and in a moment he heard the clanging of feathered arrows striking the shield. With a sigh of relief, such a battle can't be fought, the opponent has too many archers, and the archery skills are not bad, as long as someone shows their heads, they will be shot. The most terrifying thing is a situation where you don't even show your head, as long as the high ladder in this position falls to the ground, then countless feather arrows will shoot over, not only accurately, but also dozens or hundreds of feather arrows covering the shooting. is this kind of ** method, which killed no less than 200 of his own guards. Jiang Yiqu didn't understand, didn't the Xuzhou army's feather arrows need money?

With a long breath, Jiang Yiqu turned his head to look around. It's so miserable, the city wall is full of corpses full of holes, broken arms and legs, heads lost, arrows died, and the blood of many people on the city wall has dried up, otherwise the blood will not cover the entire horse road, making the road sticky walking with a sound. Some of the soldiers were fighting bravely one moment before, and the next moment they were killed on the spot. Some of the soldiers jumped off the city wall with the Xuzhou soldiers in their arms and died together.

Some of the soldiers were even more miserable, one moment they raised their spears and stabbed a rising Xuzhou sergeant, and the next moment they fainted and fell to the ground. He knew that this soldier was suffering from heat stroke, but he couldn't save him, if it was in normal times, he still had a way, but at this moment, he didn't have time. He doesn't understand, doesn't the Xuzhou army want to die? Choosing such weather to siege the city? At noon, the sun is just setting west, and it is the hottest time of the day, so people should not move, they should soak in the water to raise their bodies!

Suddenly, he heard a cheer not far from the left, Jiang Yiqu turned his head and saw a dozen Xuzhou soldiers crawling up. Jiang Yiqu tried his best, but found that he couldn't move at all, and a feeling of dizziness made him almost go crazy. He knew that he was about to suffer from heat stroke, but the situation was critical, and he did not dare to stop.

With a sigh of relief, Jiang Yiqu took off his armor with the help of his personal guards, and then picked up the long sword and rushed in that direction.

Finally killed the other party, Jiang Yiqu picked up the big shield again and hid, and heard the sound of countless arrows shooting on the big shield again, he didn't know how long he could hold on, but one thing was certain, they couldn't hold out until the sun set.

No, we have to withdraw, and if we don't withdraw, it's too late.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yiqu quietly went down to the city with the only remaining dozens of personal guards and got on a boat that had been prepared a long time ago. He knows that some people will think that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he has a clear position for himself, he is a general, and he will die in a more valuable place!

A flat boat, without anyone watching, sailed into the Zishui, after the Zishui, the people on the boat got off the boat and went straight to the opposite Linshui.

Jiang Yiqu is gone, his soldiers don't know yet, they are still fighting, they think the general is back to save themselves. However, the situation on his side is so critical, why hasn't the general come over yet?

Half an hour later, the Xuzhou army opened the gap, and countless soldiers stepped on the ladder to climb the city wall.

In the afternoon, Dong'an Ping was broken.
