In chapter 44, the army broke out, and the scorching country Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
The archers of the scorching army under the city also continued to shoot arrows at the city walls to cover the besieging soldiers. But it seems that they are not good at this, and the arrows are either shot at the walls or into the air, and the defenders on the walls are really not very many.
As soon as it was pulled down, the besieging soldiers were gone, and the rest dragged the ladder and ran back. After resting for a while, the Burning Flame Country sounded the horn of attack again.
This attack was less than half the number of people in the previous attack, and ten soldiers rushed to the city with shields and ladders, but only a few climbed up.
The Flame Nation team was divided, and one hundred and ten people slowly walked out of the formation pushing a huge ram. The ram is actually a thick tree trunk, which is stuck in front of it with a thick iron hoop, and it reverberates and hits the city gate with the help of inertia. When Min Duwei at the head of the city saw this scene, his face suddenly became much more solemn. There is no doubt about the thickness of the city gates, but no matter how thick the city gates are, they cannot withstand such a back-and-forth impact, and if they keep crashing, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.
With no moat in the way, the ram soon came to the gates.
The Burning Flame Kingdom selected tall and sturdy soldiers, and the two of them held a huge shield, and dozens of shields were put together to form a huge board surface, blocking the soldiers responsible for pulling the battering hammer below.
"Quick, this way!" Min Duwei mobilized his soldiers to gather near the city gate and fought for the city gate with the siege soldiers of the Burning Flame Country.
The ram thumped and thumped against the city gates. Every time it hit, the city gate trembled, and even Min Duwei on the city tower could feel the tremor under his feet.
On the city gate, the soldiers defending the city were constantly carrying rolling logs, boulders and other things. Don't pour money down, but the effect is not ideal.
The shield in the hands of the Sergeant of the Burning Flame Nation had been treated with something, and the surface was unusually smooth, and it did not stick to oil and water. After forming a slope pattern, the rolling wood and other objects hitting it do not play a great role.
"Report~~~ General, the enemy forces outside the three gates in the northeast and west have launched a joint attack on the city!" shouted a liaison soldier with a sweaty face before he could run in front of Min Duwei.
The defenders of Fullwood City were composed of a combination of city defenses and garrisons, numbering less than 20,000. The city was besieged on all sides, and the enemy army conservatively estimated that more than 100,000 men had been dispatched, and the enemy troops outside each city gate were more than the total number of defenders.
Min Duwei divided it evenly, and each city gate guarded five thousand soldiers, and five thousand commanders were in charge. He himself led a team of personal guards, and went to supervise the battle wherever needed.
In the past few days, thanks to the abundance of food and grass in the city, the well-trained sergeants, and the support and love of the people, the enemy has repelled several attacks.
However, the enemy army has accelerated the pace of siege since yesterday, and the casualties of the defenders of the city in the past few days have not been small. The soldiers sent for help were not heard from, and the reinforcements were delayed, and Min Duwei was already overstretched at this time.
Seeing the ram under the city here slamming like a hammer, Min Duwei was anxious. If you take advantage of this time and attack the city with all your might, it will definitely be broken!
Just when Min Duwei was at a loss, he looked up and found that the enemy's rear camp was full of light. If you look closely, you will find that it is the enemy's Chinese army tent that caught fire, although the fire did not spread, but because the area was large enough, it still attracted a lot of attention.
The enemy also discovered that the rear camp was on fire and sounded the horn of retreat in time. Min Duwei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and led the guards to the other city gate to supervise the battle.
"Third brother, what do you think of our fire?" The two of them climbed on a big tree halfway up the mountain and looked at it from afar, and the enemy camp was busy.
The two of them just found that almost all of the soldiers of the Burning Flame Country participated in the siege of the city, and they didn't have any worries at all, and they had a God-given opportunity that they must cherish.
So the two quietly sneaked into the enemy camp, only sneaking past a few soldiers who cleaned the barracks and then touched the Chinese army's tent, but there was not even a guard, and I don't know if the enemy general had led the soldiers. I found some oil in the tent next to it, and set it on fire to burn the tent clean.
In fact, the generals who led the troops in the Lieyan Kingdom this time can be regarded as experienced after a long time on the battlefield. It was only because checkpoints were set up everywhere outside the city and there was no abnormal situation that he ordered all the sergeants to participate in the siege with such confidence.
"Just burn it like this, if you can't get so much oil, the entire camp will be burned for him!" Yu Sanjin said indignantly.
"Third brother, don't worry, it seems that the situation in the city is quite stable, let's find another opportunity to burn him tonight, so that they can't sleep well!"
"Shocking rain, let's burn a fire tonight, I want to take advantage of the chaos to go into the city to see. Yu Sanjin stared at the enemy camp without turning his eyes and said.
Lei Jingyu frowned, "The army is pressing, there are so many people, how do you get in?Besides, this is an extraordinary time, who dares to open the door and let you go?"
"Brother has his own way, I once heard Brother Jiang say that there is a city brick that is empty under a hundred meters east of the north gate.
It was discovered when he was in charge of repairing the city wall, and it should have been filled in on the spot, but after thinking that it might be useful in the future, he found some wooden planks to cover it up, and then laid soil on top and compacted it.
Because it is at the foot of the city wall, the area is not large. Ordinary people don't come close, and no one has ever noticed it. But this matter, the city lord and General Min all know.
After I go in, I will set off a cluster of fireworks at the head of the city, and when you see it, you can quickly go back to Lin Town to find Brother Zhang and them to discuss the rescue matters, and Manlin City will not be able to support it when he sees it!"
"Third brother, there must be no shortage of masters in the enemy army, if you are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lei Jingyu said worriedly.
"Don't care so much, let's act according to the plan first!" Yu Sanjin was unmoved.
After a few more words of persuasion, Lei Jingyu saw that Yu Sanjin had made up his mind, so he stopped saying nothing and concentrated on fiddling with the oil that had just returned from the enemy camp.
There wasn't much oil left, and after using some of it, there was still more than half a jar left. Lei Jingyu has been thinking about how to maximize the burning area of this half of the jar of fire oil.
Night fell little by little, so that the three horses who looked at Yu Sanjin, the two of them took advantage of the night to pick some wild fruits in the forest to satisfy their hunger, and went around to the north gate.
Coming to a place about a kilometer away from the enemy camp at the north gate, the two quietly lay on the uphill and looked down.
"Third brother, let's sneak over and find a secluded place in a while. I set this jar on fire and threw it out, and in mid-air you skimmed the stone and shattered it. I threw it as far as I could, but I didn't think I could get to the big tent. "Thunder and rain even said and compared.
"Okay, I'll touch the city wall as soon as the enemy camp is in chaos, you must be careful when you go back! Let Brother Zhang find a way to inform the lord, but I don't know if I can have time to do it! Alas... ”
The two crept to a corner outside the enemy camp and let go of a pair of patrolling soldiers. The thunderstorm set the jar on fire, and the arm picked up the jar with force and threw it at the big tent of the Chinese army, and the two turned around and ran after throwing it.
The burning jar drew a beautiful arc in the air, and when it was about to fall, Yu Sanjin took a slight aim behind his head, and threw out a small stone casually.
Pop, the burning oil jar exploded in the air like a firework, and oil-stained sparks shot in all directions. Suddenly the shouts of the patrolling soldiers were heard in the camp, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The camp was suddenly in chaos.
The spark fell on the tent, and soon the flames were burning, but the fire was not large. Coincidentally, part of the spark happened to fall to the place where the hay was kept, and when the wind blew, the flames whirred up.
Several nearby tents were shrouded in flames in the blink of an eye, and the sergeants of the Burning Flame Nation reacted quickly and rushed out to extinguish the fire. A few teams of men and horses even rushed out of the camp and formed a carpet search around them.
There were still many torches burning in the city, but it was found that the enemy camp was on fire again. The defenders extinguished all the torches on the city walls in order to get a better view of the enemy camp.
Yu Sanjin separated from Lei Jingyu and ran to the city wall to dig the corner. After running far away, Lei Jingyu closed his right eye and used his left eye alone to observe Yu Sanjin's situation.
If you look with both eyes together, the right eye will affect the visual distance of the left eye. I saw Yu Sanjin running to a place about 100 meters east of the city gate, taking out a short blade and lying on the ground and stabbing it down.
After a few punctures, Yu Sanjin should have determined the location. Squatting on the ground against the city wall and pulling the soil layer on the ground with a knife, he scraped off a piece of the ground soil layer in a short time, revealing a thick wooden plank underneath.
Yu Sanjin put his hand into the wooden plank under the soil layer to find the right place and lifted it hard, and suddenly flashed a gap that a person could get into, and in a flash, Yu Sanjin arched in.
The wooden plank fell to the ground, bringing up a cloud of dust, and the heart of the thunderstorm was also put down a little. After retreating some distance backwards and making sure that no one had been noticed, Thunderstorm climbed a very thick tree. He was waiting for Yu Sanjin to give him a signal so that he could go back and report the news.
About half an hour later, when the fire had been extinguished in the enemy camp and the team was rapidly organizing a large-scale search, a brilliant firework exploded in the night sky.
Lei Jingyu knew that Yu Sanjin was safe, and he was about to slip off the tree and escape into the distance. Suddenly, a point of light lit up not far from the enemy camp, which immediately attracted the eyes of the thunderous rain, and on closer inspection, a torch was lit.
With the lighting of this torch, the surroundings were lit up, and even the entire hillside over there were torches, and for a time a sea of torches formed on the periphery of the enemy camp.
"Kill 。。。。。。 Earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out, and the sergeants with torches quickly rushed towards the enemy camp.
The enemy camp was in chaos, and the team that had just gone out to search hurried back to the camp when they saw this. A general stood in the middle of the camp and looked out for a long time, turning over and getting on his horse. "Meet the enemy!" shouted the general.
Several figures suddenly burst out of the enemy camp, and the horses rushed towards the army in the distance. There is a way that is a master of art and bold, and these figures that pop out should be the masters in the enemy camp here.
