Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Sea of Hellfire
So the ballista also turned to attack the catapults in the second wave, and the catapults continued to smash the approaching catapults, only occasionally a few of the catapults were too close, and the catapults could not attack, so they called the nearby ballista to scatter it, and when they arrived here, it meant that all the siege equipment in the first wave of the Yellow Turban Army's attack had been wiped out!
But by this time, their ordinary infantry and archers had already reached the front of the camp, and those archers could already raise their arrows to fight back, and those infantry also carried ladders and swarmed up, and the battle immediately entered the most tragic state of hand-to-hand combat.
Wenmin's side also immediately suffered a large number of casualties, and quickly arranged for the villagers to carry the wounded soldiers back for treatment, although those wounded soldiers have not yet reached the point of losing their combat effectiveness, but the battle is not such an hour or two thing, carrying them to the hospital, more than an hour can make them recover as before, why let them hold their positions and increase casualties?
Huang Zhong and Huang Xu, father and son, were respectively responsible for the defense of the two camps, and they both took out their bows and arrows in unison, and specially gathered those enemies who were suspected of being commanders. Under the arrows of the two of them, the front-line commanders of the Yellow Turban Army were killed one after another, which also had a great impact on their siege rhythm and relieved a lot of pressure on the defenders.
And the battle has reached this point, the strategy has no effect, as a god-level strategist, Guo Jia also went into battle shirtless, recruiting and persuading to surrender, chaos, infighting and other skills were cast one after another, which also made the siege troops in front of him chaotic.
At this time, two teams were sent to the Yellow Turban Army camp, this time it was different from the previous two times, this time the troops were mainly catapults, and at least 2,000 catapults were sent on both sides!
Wen Min saw these catapult troops lined up in a phalanx, and he was careful that his liver was pulled out of the cold, and this did not let people live? It just doesn't give people a glimmer of hope! Now the territory is in a hurry, there are only more than 200 cars in total, and they have 4,000 cars at once, and there are three or four hundred more on the battlefield, no matter how you say it, you can't smash it! At that time, these catapults will definitely be pushed within 300 meters by these catapults to destroy the city defenses here. Now Wenmin deeply regrets that he only cared about developing and upgrading the territory at that time, and neglected the defense and construction of the territory, and usually did not let the carpentry room build siege equipment at full load.
Just when Wenmin almost felt desperate, Guo Jia said to him: "Lord, now please take all the oil you bought back to the catapult, and when all the enemy's catapults enter our range, we will let the catapult throw these oil and build two burning fire belts between 300 meters and 480 meters, at that time, these catapults are turtles in the urn, and we can only wait for us to slowly destroy them!" ”
Wen Min's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was worthy of being a god-level strategist, he had already prepared, haha, now the large amount of fire oil and cooking oil he brought back can come in handy.
Soon, the oil was already in place, and the enemy's troops, due to the number of catapults, were at least a hundred meters apart from the front and the rear! In order not to make the enemy suspicious, they came over to give experience to the ground, but the bunmin and the others still frantically destroyed the catapult after it entered the attack range as before.
When the catapult was about to enter the 300-meter range and could attack the camp, Guo Jia shouted: "Throw the fire oil!" ”
Then each catapult ran out of two jars of oil, one at a distance of 300 meters, the other at a distance of 480 meters, and then, before the enemy could react, the cavalry of the fierce archers each shot a rocket at the two places, and suddenly two belts of fire were ignited on the whole battlefield, and the catapults in the middle could not advance or retreat, while the catapults and ballistas of the defenders poured stones and heavy arrows there.
And the generals in the camp of the Yellow Turban Army turned pale when they saw these two flame belts, and the catapults in the sea of fire were all the catapults of all the Yellow Turban Army forces that were coming now! Was it just buried by yourself? How can I explain to Qu Shuai when I go back? How do you explain to the other leaders? This made him want to die, and yelled hysterically at his subordinates: "Quick! Quick, send me another 100,000 people on each side, carry the sand and soil to extinguish the fire, and rescue the catapult for me! If the catapult is gone, you won't come back!" ”
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield had been completely disrupted, and needless to say, the catapult troops in the sea of fire were smashed by bows and arrows and stones. And those ordinary infantry and archers who had rushed to the front of the camp saw that a fire suddenly broke out behind them, and the back road had been cut off, and they were also in a state of confusion, coupled with the rain of arrows that kept shooting down on the camp, many people lost the will to resist, put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
Seeing that many of the people in the camp had surrendered, the civilians ordered the Beiwei army to be killed from one side first, and if they were taken prisoner, if they encountered resistance, they would be killed immediately. In half an hour, more than 50,000 prisoners were surrendered on two battlefields! The number of enemy troops killed has exceeded 200,000!
And on the other side of the sea of fire, there are 200,000 troops under the drive of their leader, carrying sandbags to run to extinguish the fire, at the beginning this did achieve results, the fire of the back of the fire belt is indeed much smaller, seeing that the flame is about to be completely extinguished, at this time the Wenmin who has been standing on the camp and watching is also anxious, let all the fire oil and cooking oil be taken out, first let the fire belt burn again, and then smash into the middle of the catapult troops, as soon as possible to destroy those catapults!
Guo Jia also agreed very much when he saw Wenmin's decision, if these catapults are left here at all costs now, then these catapults will become a nightmare for their defense in the future, imagine what kind of scene it will be when four thousand large stones of more than 100 catties are smashed down together? It is estimated that this camp is not enough for it to smash a few rounds!
So when the catapult threw the fire oil again, this time it didn't need an archer to ignite it, basically it hit where it was smashed and a big fire broke out, and at this time there were still many Yellow Turban soldiers with sandbags on their backs trying to extinguish the fire, once the oil was splashed on their bodies, they immediately burned, and let out a ghost crying wolf howl.
And those Yellow Turban soldiers who were carrying sandbags in the back and were about to put out the fire saw the miserable scene of hell on earth in front of them, and no matter how urged by the generals behind them, they still refused to take a step forward. Since they dare to rebel and revolt, they are basically not afraid of death, but not being afraid of death does not mean that they are not afraid of such a hellish death!
And the leader of the Yellow Turbans, who was still in the camp at this time, also saw this scene, and he also saw that the defenders had begun to throw fire oil at the catapult troops, and the sea of fire on the battlefield had been completely connected, and he knew that his catapult troops must be finished!
