Chapter 57: The General is on Top and I Are Down (57)

You must know that although Ling Guo has entered spring, the weather on the Turkic side is still like winter, so the Turkic soldiers are all wearing cotton clothes, so the way of fire attack is very effective.

However, in this age of scarcity, oil is precious, scarce, and cannot last long when used for war. So the sea of fire lasted for a few hours, and finally gradually disappeared in the cold wind.

But this does not mean that Ling Guo's army can't hold it, just saying that Yun Duan alone, with a random swing of his sword, he can create a vacuum, even if the defenders are cut down, they have 80,000 people, which is enough to fill the vacancy in time to defend the city, and the city wall is impermeable.

The Turkic soldiers were hit hard by their attempts to climb the walls and attack the city, so they decided to change their tactics and began to drill holes.

The specific operation was to have the Turkic soldiers slash at the city wall with large axes and swords until the city wall was chiseled through.

At the same time, since the Turkic royal family was basically cut down, all the archers in the Turkic army were in place, and the rain of arrows in the sky shot up the city wall, killing a number of Ling soldiers.

The soldiers of the Ling State led by Yun Dusk were unable to attack the Turkic soldiers who had dug holes, and they had to dodge the continuous rain of arrows, and soon there was visible damage.

The situation was urgent, and Yun Dui was still calm, but Qi Rinzhi was already in a hurry to turn around in place, if they really let them dig a big hole, the city wall would soon collapse, and it would be no different from being attacked into the city.

At the critical moment, Twilight asks all the flares to be picked up and the gunpowder inside.

These signal flares are equivalent to fireworks, originally the general Lin Tingzhi was afraid that they would have an accident, if they failed to successfully break into the Turkic royal court, and were besieged in the grassland, they would light these signal flares together, and they would soon bring troops to meet them when they saw it, so as to formulate another set of plans to conquer the Turks.

But Cloudtwilight has changed the way she uses it.

Twilight asked the soldiers to find all the quilts in the Turkic court, spread straw in them, wrap them in gunpowder, and finally light them and throw them at the Turkic soldiers who had carved holes in the walls of the city.

The combination of quilts, straw, and gunpowder, the materials and methods are extremely ordinary, yet the effect is unusually effective and terrifying.

A spectacular scene appeared.

When the gunpowder-stained quilts were thrown under the city walls, they burned violently, and they would scatter in all directions, and wherever they went, the flames would burn, and any Turkic soldier would become a burning man as long as they were touched, even if they rolled on the ground, they could only be burned in the flames.

Compared with the previous sea of fire caused by pouring oil, this sea of fire forged by gunpowder is more durable, more effective, and more terrifying. It sent countless Turkic soldiers to hell, and the first Turkic soldiers who tried to carve them open were wiped out under the walls.

Everything in front of him was beyond Yelututsa's imagination and psychological endurance.

Since he entered the battlefield, in every previous battle, he has led the Turkic cavalry to fight more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak, even if the cities of Ling and Li have moats and countless organs, they can only be defeated.

However, he now has an army of 200,000 troops, but he can't capture the Turkic royal court defended by 80,000 horses of Ling State.

Jerutucha clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

This battle is about the survival of the Turks, he will not lose, and he cannot lose, even if there are heavy casualties, even if the blood is flowing like a river, even if the corpses are all over the field, with corpses piled up, they must be piled up on the city!
