Bang Bang Bang –

In a loud earthquake, the thunderbolt was moved by the Qilin elites, and the cannon tip that was bent to the extreme suddenly bounced up, causing a loud shock, and using the principle of leverage, the west wind spirit and oil canister in the cannon tip were thrown towards the city of Hanzhong.

All of a sudden, the sky was covered with two rows of jars and jars, and because of the weight and density, the oil jars and the wine jars were separated in the air and thrown towards the city.

Seeing many unknown objects flying in the air, Ling Bud hurriedly shouted to the Shu soldiers at the head of the city: "Quick, raise your shield!" Raise your shield! Ling Bao didn't see what the whistling objects in the night were, and thought it was a strange weapon newly developed by Ao Lie, so he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, and hurriedly asked the Shu soldiers to raise their shields to do a good job of defense.

Bang Bang Bang –

As soon as the Shu soldiers raised their shields, the altars and jars that were thrown out fell on their shields, and the entire Hanzhong city was full of crisp cracking sounds. Most of the Shu soldiers just felt a wet head, and a strong aroma of fine wine mixed with the pungent smell of fire oil wafted into their noses, and only a very small number of Shu soldiers were really unlucky, and they were hit on the head by the wine jar or oil tank that fell from the sky, and they were immediately smashed on the head and broke the blood flow, and their brains burst to death.

Ling Bao smelled the mixed smell on his body, looked at the wine and fire oil dripping everywhere, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and was about to remind the soldiers to pay attention, but before he could shout out the words in his heart, the small Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers mixed with the wine jar and the oil tank group fell on the city of Hanzhong, after the violent collision, the fist-sized small Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers immediately burst, and more than fifty Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers burst into hundreds of shrapnel that shot out in all directions, cutting through the solid iron armor of the nearby Shu soldiers, Ruthlessly stabbed into their bodies, bringing hundreds of unbearable screams, which was not what worried Ling Bao the most. What worries him the most is that at the moment when the Celestial Maiden scattered flowers exploded, the faint spark actually ignited those spirits and oil oil, and the spark could ignite the prairie fire, and the nearly 1,000 jars of liquor and fire oil that were thrown by the Qilin Army on the head of Hanzhong City immediately burned violently, and many Shu soldiers and soldiers immediately ignited flames, and instantly became fire people, wailing and struggling in pain in the flames, and the fear of death. They were forced to extend a helping hand to their comrades around them, hoping that they could extinguish the flames on their bodies and save themselves from the fire.

However, things often do not develop as people expect, these Shu soldiers who asked for help from their nearby comrades-in-arms were not rescued, but instead passed on the flames on their bodies to their comrades-in-arms, causing even more turbulent flames. All of a sudden. The city of Hanzhong was in chaos, full of burning flames and the painful wails and cries for help of the Shu soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers were in chaos, Ling Bao immediately shouted: "Don't panic! Get water to extinguish the fire! Fast! "Above the city, there is a large amount of defensive equipment such as rolling logs. If these military funds are ignited, it will really be over, and the side defending the city will have no defense funds, how can it defend the city? So Ling Bud is very anxious. Now the most convenient means of extinguishing fire is to extinguish the fire with water, before that. In order to solve the worries of the soldiers defending the city, Huang Quan ordered people to bring dozens of jars of water, so that the soldiers could drink water at the head of the city.

The panicked Shu soldiers immediately followed Ling Bao's order, carefully dodging the flames, while taking water from buckets and throwing them at those comrades who were on fire. Unexpectedly, it was good not to splash water, but this splashing made the fire on those comrades-in-arms more vigorous, as if they were splashing not water at all, but fire oil. As dozens of jars of water were splashed out in an instant, the flames on the city's head did not show the slightest sign of weakening, but burned even more vigorously, illuminating the entire city as if it were day. Under the action of the clear water splashed by the Shu soldiers, the flames were like waves drifting with the waves, and they had begun to burn towards the garrison troops piled up on the head of the city near the inner wall.

Seeing this situation, Ling Bao was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't understand at all, why water can't extinguish the fire, could it be that the flame of the Han army is a heavenly fire, and ordinary water can't be extinguished at all? All this in front of him was beyond the scope of his thinking.

Huang Quan, who was sticking to the city with the soldiers in the city, immediately woke up after the initial shock, and used water to extinguish the oil, which was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, not only would not contain the fire, but would also play a role in fueling the flames. In any case, Huang Quan is a civil official, and his knowledge must be much broader than that of Ling Bao, and after he came to his senses, Huang Quan immediately shouted loudly: "Don't use water to extinguish fire!" With sand! Extinguish the fire with sand! ”

Huang Quan is knowledgeable, but he forgot that now he is above the city, not fighting in the field, in a hurry, where to find sand to extinguish the fire? Therefore, although the Shu soldiers heard Huang Quan's roar, they only threw away the bucket in their hands and stopped pouring water, and they couldn't think of where to find sand to extinguish the fire on this city made of solid stones.

Huang Quan himself quickly realized this problem, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted loudly: "Use wet cowhide to extinguish the fire!" Fast! Fast!! "Hanzhong as the gateway to Yizhou, there is no shortage of various armaments and materials in the city, and cowhides, as a conventional armament to resist the rain of siege arrows, naturally have reserves, under Huang Quan's shouting again, the Shu soldiers are like catching the last straw, frantically rushing to the armament stack, from the already burning armament, struggling to grab nearly a hundred complete cowhides, splashing water to wet it, and wrapping it to the nearby teammates who are on fire. It's a pity that there are too many Shu soldiers on fire, and the number of cowhides is too small, which is quite a drop in the bucket.

Seeing that Huang Quan's trick was effective, Ling Bao immediately shouted: "Quick! The rear army was divided into two teams, one team went to dig sand in the city, and the other team went to rescue armaments and supplies, hurry up! The original reserve team at the head of the city immediately dispersed into two teams, and acted separately according to Ling Bao's orders, just at this time Lei Tong summoned the soldiers and horses of the military camp in the city and rushed over, and collided with the Shu soldiers who were about to dig the sand and soil in the city, and the men and horses on both sides were congested on the narrow stairs, and they all yelled to let the other party give way first. The scene was chaotic.

The city was chaotic, but the Han army under the city ready to attack the city was in order, taking advantage of the fire burned by Gan Ning, Zhang Liao had already led 20,000 siege troops to rush to the city of Hanzhong, Zhang Liao, whose face was like purple jade, had a firm look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Vertical cloud ladder, rush to the city!" ”

The Han soldiers under Zhang Liao's command immediately worked together to lift a special ladder with barbs, and in an angry roar, they put the ladder on the head of the city in Hanzhong, and used a rocker to adjust the barbs at the front end of the ladder, so that the ladder firmly grasped the city wall. fixed on the city walls; At the same time, the other part of the strong Han army, with the strength of hundreds of people, held the hammer of the city, launched a fierce attack on the city gate of Hanzhong, and slammed the city gate again and again, the city wall near the city gate was shaking slightly, and from time to time stone chips were hit and fell from the city wall.

After fixing the ladder, Zhang Liao roared again: "Sword and shield hand." Raise your shield! Protect the ladder and the storming team, and the rest of the people will follow someone to the city! The Han soldiers immediately divided their labor and carried out their respective tasks clearly, and the sword and shield bearers held swords in one hand. Holding a shield in one hand, he guarded the bottom of the ladder and the side of the rushing team, while the others bit their swords in their mouths and began to climb up the ladder.

Tai Shici, who is slightly behind Zhang Liao's department. Seeing that Zhang Liao had fixed the ladder, he immediately shouted to the 20,000 Han troops behind him: "The former army has landed in the city!" Fast! General Wenyuan needs our support! Rear military fire cover! The 20,000 Han troops under Tai Shi Ci's command were immediately divided into two, and 10,000 rushed to the cloud ladder. Following the Dengcheng troops led by Zhang Liao, they struggled to climb up the ladder, and the other 10,000 people raised their crossbows in their hands and aimed at the head of the city in Hanzhong, ready to carry out targeted elimination of the Shu soldiers who came out to prevent Zhang Liao's subordinates.

In order to attack Hanzhong this time, Ao Lie deliberately asked Wang Hun to make this 10,000-handed crossbow, although the range and lethality can not catch up with the Xizi repeater equipped with elite troops, but it can also be called a high-quality product, the only flaw is that it cannot be fired continuously, and after not firing a crossbow arrow, it needs to be manually reloaded, so the firing interval is not particularly coherent. However, at such a close distance, it is enough to carry out the task of targeted killing.

Fifty steps behind Tai Shi Ci, the veteran Huang Zhong stroked his gray beard, raised his knife and shouted: "Prepare for the arrow tower, shoot yourself after a hundred steps close to the city wall, and suppress the Shu soldiers at the head of the city!" Ballistamen, fire at the head of the city, create a fighter for General Wenyuan, and never let the Shu soldiers raise their heads! ”

In Huang Zhong's old but majestic roar, the 20,000 Han army immediately operated, the arrow tower quickly turned, and after reaching a distance of 100 steps from Hanzhong City, it stopped, leaving a thousand people to guard the bottom of the arrow tower to prevent the Shu soldiers from burning the arrow tower with rockets, and more than 4,000 archers who followed the arrow tower around immediately climbed the arrow tower, stood on the upper, middle and lower layers of the arrow tower respectively, pulled the bow and arrow in their hands, and began to shoot all kinds of shots at the head of Hanzhong City.

On the side of the arrow tower, five hundred red-clothed ballistas under the control of the ballista gunners, emitting a terrifying sound of breaking the sky, more than two thousand crossbows with the power of piercing stones and cracking gold, began the first wave of power, roaring across the sky, fiercely shooting towards the head of the city in Hanzhong, the former army troops closest to the city wall of the Shu soldiers, immediately suffered the ruthless penetration of the crossbows, a giant crossbow with the thickness of an arm, often piercing the bodies of more than a dozen Shu soldiers one after another, just like a string of rock sugar gourds, the bodies of the Shu soldiers are connected to the crossbow rods, After flying upside down with them for a distance, they were nailed to the ground!

There are also some crossbows at a slightly lower angle when launched, shot on the battlements of the head of the city in Hanzhong, these crossbows pierced the three-foot-thick battlements, and killed the Shu soldiers hiding behind the battlements, and then, because the strength has been exhausted, the one-zhang long crossbow stayed on the battlements, leaving only a section of the crossbow rod about five feet long exposed outside, and the arrow rain made of fine iron still trembled endlessly!

These crossbows with a lower angle are not the deviations of the ballistamen's abnormal performance, but Huang Zhong deliberately did this, these crossbows were inserted into the battlements, and they stayed firmly on the city wall, which could serve as a handrail for Zhang Liao's troops to climb the city, so that the soldiers of the Han army who were about to climb the city had a support, and in the short encounter with the Shu soldiers, they could better launch an attack, so that their bodies would not be suspended in the air and there was nowhere to exert their strength.

In addition to the Han army, which controlled the two large-scale weapons of destruction, the arrow tower and the red-clothed ballista, Huang Zhong's subordinates also had nearly 10,000 crossbowmen, and at this moment, these crossbowmen were divided into four rows, the first row kneeling on the ground, and the second row stood behind them two steps away, and at the same time used the method of throwing arrows to shoot arrows at the head of the city of Hanzhong. The third and fourth rows are drawn with bowstrings, ready to take over the positions of their comrades in the first two rows, and when they finish firing the arrows in their hands and retreat to draw the arrows again, they will immediately step forward to fill the position, ensuring that the rain of arrows will not stop, and always suppress the head of Hanzhong City.

At the end of the siege sequence, Gan Ning looked at the burning of the city of Hanzhong with a hideous smile, shining the city head like a flame in the day, and roared coldly: "Brothers, add some more material to the Shu soldiers!" Gan Ning Zhilu said that although Zephyr spirits and fire oil are easy to ignite and can cause a fire in an instant, they also have a flaw, that is, they can burn for a long time, after all, without fuel, it is impossible to burn for a long time with alcohol and fire oil alone.

The Qilin elites laughed loudly, pulled the lever of the thunderbolt again, lowered the cannon tip, and then added double the fire oil and Zephyr spirits to the cannon tip, the difference is that this time they are not placing the Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers, after all, the Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers are not easy to make, and they need to be cherished and used, and now that the fire has burned, there is naturally no need to use the Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers.

Among the four elite troops of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Qilin Army is not the same as the other three elites, which may also be related to Gan Ning's background and character, Gan Ning, who has been a water thief, does not have too many rules to restrain his subordinates, he only believes in one creed, that is, those who are qualified to be selected into the Qilin Army are all brothers, and it is common for them to laugh and laugh with each other, even on the battlefield, they can't reduce this habit a little. Of course, this is also where Gan Ning excels, he uses such a way to make the Qilin elite appear extremely relaxed at any time, this relaxed mentality, will allow these wolves on the sea to deal with various challenges freely, which is also an important factor in the Qilin army's proficiency in land and water warfare.
