Chapter 140: Flying Fire Siege
In the next few days, Wei Xiao ordered the city gate to be closed and strictly guarded.
Looking from the top of the city, I saw that the demon army camp was a hundred steps in all directions, and I kept looking at it.
Yingyi is not idle, using the advice of the military advisor Gong Wei, in the demon barracks, the lights are like day every night, all night long, and the soldiers guarding the city hear the sound of axes and chisels in the camp, which can be heard from far and near.
After a few days, a wooden watchtower was erected in the demon army, up to eight zhang, with a four-wheeled seat at the bottom, and a six-foot-wide wooden house at the top.
I saw that in the outer city of Zitong Pass, there was still an urn city, and after the urn city, it was the inner city. On the northwest corner of the right, there is a gray cylindrical building, which is cone-shaped, covered with straw, Gong Wei pointed to that place and said: "General, please see, on the wall, there are triangular holes up and down, three up and down, staggered arrangement, it is the ventilation hole, there is an iron net under the wall, mostly used to prevent rats and insects, half a zhang high, there is a wooden door that can be opened and closed, I am afraid that it is the grain outlet - from this point of view, on the northwest corner, is the granary of the Zitong Pass guards. If the artillery fire is attacked from this, the granary can be burned, we will first cut off the water source in the city, and then burn the granary, so as not to worry that the Zitong Pass will not be broken. ”
Ying Yi nodded, waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of soldiers transported several tiger squat artillery trucks from the army. The tiger squatting cannon is about more than zhang high, the shape is like a tiger squatting on the ground, opening its mouth to the sky, the shape is like a tiger's roar, the four legs are four wheels, the soldiers will transport it to the city gate, divided into four corners, loaded with stone fire bombs, a tiger squat cannon will need hundreds of soldiers to work together to pull it.
The four tiger squatting cannons were fired together, and they saw a huge stone fire bomb slowly pushed up from the cannon, and then sent out violently from the tiger's mouth, and the bullet body flew into the air, burning violently, with flames, flying out of a hundred steps, high over the city, falling into the city, only to hear a violent roar in the city, the sound was like thunder, the ground shook the mountain, and even Wei Xiao used the steaming earth to build the solid city wall was shaken.
Yingyi waved his hand again, the tiger squatting cannon fired several bullets in succession, but saw the fierce arrow flying, the sound shook the world, terrifying, Yingyi stood on the watchtower, only to see several stone fire bullets fell straight into the city, all the hits collapsed, about a few feet into the ground, the soldiers in the city rushed to run and escape, under a bullet, hundreds of miles away the fire and iron armor were penetrated, the fire was burned by the fire, and there were nearly 100 people who were killed by the flint burning, and there were dozens of casualties who fell.
A few more bullets, just in the northwest corner of the granary on the top of the granary, only to see a "whoosh", the granary is on fire, a few feet high flames, the fire borrows the wind, and the flames soar into the sky, the guards under the granary have escaped, shouting: "The granary is on fire! The granary is on fire!"
Several people had already been burned with their clothes burned by the fire, and before they could escape, they were burned all over their bodies in an instant, becoming a burning man, and dying on the ground.
Although hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed out to water and extinguish the fire, the fire was so great that it burned for half a day before it was extinguished, and the granary was already burned clean, leaving only a piece of scorched earth.
Ying Yi saw it and sneered: "If you burn the granary of the defenders, the grain in the city will run out, even if you store water for a few days, it will be useless, and today's first achievement will be counted on the head of the military division!"
Gong Wei bowed his head and arched his hand: "Thanks to the general's authority! According to the humble opinion of his subordinates, it is better to quench this stone fire bomb with the poison of red gall grass, which can not only destroy the military in the city, but also poison the people in the city, and now this Zitong Pass has been besieged by my 300,000 army like an iron bucket, not only cut off water and food, but also has no wound medicine, the strength of the city defenders is greatly reduced, and then the city will be broken by the wild goose to break through the fire, and the city will be broken just around the corner!"
Ying Yi laughed after hearing this: "What the military advisor said is extremely true!," He showed a wicked smile in his eyes: "Why don't I put the corpses of these soldiers under the city into the tiger squat cannon, and then launch them into the city, when the corpses in the city are full of poison, I will see what Wei Xiao can resist!"
After hearing this, Gong Wei felt a chill in his heart, and said: "General, this corpse poison method is extremely vicious, if you attack the city, the whole city will be infected with the plague, and when the time comes, this Zitong Pass will become a dead city!"
"So what?" Ying Yi didn't care, and the purple in her eyes turned black: "Isn't it just the right time to save the power of slaughtering the city?"
He laughed and walked down the wooden ladder, completely ignoring the horrified gaze of Gong Wei behind him: "I want to see if the reputation of Wei Xiao's Heavenly Realm Martial God General is in vain!"
Ying Yi came to the city, a tiger squatting next to the cannon, hundreds of soldiers are working together to fill the cannon with stone fire bombs, he smiled, suddenly his face condensed, one hand grabbed a huge stone fire marble from the cannon, the muscles under the clothes were swollen, the muscles of the right arm were tattooed like a dragon, the five fingers firmly buckled the stone fire marinade, the eyes were round, suddenly a shout, and the pinball was thrown upward, the pinball roared with a swift wind, and the hundred soldiers who fired the tiger squatting cannon next to them were dumbfounded, watching the pinball ignite a piece of fire, over the high city head, A "whew" fell into the city.
After a while, he heard a violent bang in the city, and the ground shook under his feet.
The stone fire ball weighed more than 100 catties, and it took hundreds of soldiers to squat at the tiger cannon to send it out, and now Yingyi threw it with one hand, and the power was not even down to the stone fire cannon, and the demon sergeants looked dumbfounded one by one, and only after a while did they applaud thunderously, and shouted one after another: "The general's divine power! The general is mighty!"
Yingyi laughed, clapped his palms, turned over the leopard horse, and pointed at the city with his hand: "Wei Xiao, I see what you use to fight me!"
At this moment, he suddenly saw a corner of silver wings exposed on the head of the city, followed by Wei Xiao's figure in bright silver armor appeared on the city, he held an iron can in his right hand, and a fire lead stretched out from it, Wei Xiao held a torch in his left hand, put the torch close to the fire lead, and slowly lit it, seeing that the fire was burning shorter and shorter, Ying Yi somehow in his heart, his eyes were staring at the fire lead, and his heart became more and more panicked, and he suddenly turned the horse's head, whipped the leopard flower horse hard, and ran backwards hard!
I heard a loud earthquake behind me, like a thunderbolt suddenly sounding in a sunny day, and suddenly the fire rushed to the sky, the dust was everywhere, and the earth trembled violently. He ran straight out of the place of a stone's throw, only to turn his head in a bit of embarrassment, only to see the wounded killed by the iron cannons behind him, there were about hundreds of people in the radius, the injured were crying and wailing on the ground, and he only saw the appearance of those demon soldiers struggling with their mouths open, but suddenly he couldn't hear any sound in his ears!
It wasn't until a moment later that his ears, which were temporarily deaf from the artillery explosion, gradually regained his sense of hearing, and he could only hear Wei Xiao shouting at the head of the city: "General Yan Chop, you attack the city with flying fire, and I will return fire with artillery.
Yingyi was angry in his heart, and was about to open his mouth, only to see Wei Xiao raise another "earth-shaking thunder" in his hand, he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his ears, only to see Wei Xiao's hand earth-shaking thunder ignited, he shook it gently, Yingyi saw that he was about to throw the sky-shaking thunder to himself, and quickly dismounted and fell to the ground, but Wei Xiao flicked his fingers, and the sky-shaking thunder turned around and flew towards the watchtower.
Suddenly there was another deafening sound, and the high wooden watchtower caught fire, cut off at the waist, and collapsed in a cloud of firelight.
Yingyi's face was dark, he got up from the ground, shook off the dust all over his body, turned over and got on the horse, and saw Wei Xiao raise a sky-shaking thunder in his hand, he was shocked, he didn't dare to get too close, and pointed at him with a halberd of iron and said: "Wei Xiao, you wait for me, I Yingyi hereby swear a poisonous oath, within three days, I will break the city, and I will definitely break your corpse into ten thousand pieces, and I will be ashamed to pierce my eyebrows with a snow gun!"
"Really?" Wei Xiao's voice came from the air: "Wait for General Yan to catch this earth-shattering thunder before talking big!"
Then he turned back and walked down the city.
Behind him, the guard lightly followed.
Wei Xiao's footsteps stopped, but he didn't look back, and only asked, "How many are there in the Heaven-Shaking Thunder Weapon Room?"
Guan Wu's face was embarrassed, and he replied: "There is still ...... a. ”
"One?" Wei Xiao was slightly surprised.
"Yes...... It's the only one you have. The guard snorted, and hurriedly added: "This earth-shattering thunder is extremely difficult to build, and it needs to be good* in order to achieve the effect of a large-scale explosion in a short period of time, so ......"
Wei Xiao raised his hand and interrupted him: "No need to say it. ”
Guan Hu froze.
Wei Xiao said: "Even though the earth-shaking thunder is extremely powerful, it can only have the effect of deterring the enemy, one is not much different from ten, and now I will use the earth-shaking thunder to destroy his watchtower, so as not to let him spy on the situation in the city." When Yingyi comes back to his senses, he will launch a series of fierce attacks on Zitong Pass. You divide the garrison soldiers into three teams, each team takes turns to guard, prepare more falling stones, wolf tooth slaps and yaksha beats, and the main attack of Yingyi is to attack the city by fire, and I will send more water bladders over. ”
"Yes. Guan Hu bowed, and his face was a little worried: "It's just that there is water storage in the city, but I'm afraid there is not much left......"
"I know," Wei Xiao lowered his eyes: "First of all, I will focus on defending the city, and as for the water in the city, I will find another way." ”
In the next few days, Zitong Pass will face the threat of water and food cuts, and the dried bean cakes distributed at each meal have been reduced from two to one, and the corn porridge drunk has been so thin that you can see the shadow of people. And the pigs and mutton cured meat that was saved before are getting less and less. As the granaries were burned, the shortage of food was worse than the shortage of water.
Bai Qianyu took the clover to see the wounded together, the wounded ward, full of wounded and bleeding soldiers, except for a few beds, more and more wounded soldiers can only lie on the ground, with a straw mat, it is almost winter, the ground is cold, those wounded are frozen, even worse, the wound medicine in the city has long been in short supply, some people's wounds began to rot, and the whole ward is filled with a rancid smell.
General Yishi Hongyi had bandaged his severed right arm with a sackcloth at this time, hung it around his neck, and accompanied Bai Qianyu to check it, only to see General Yiwei still lying on the hospital bed, with a thick layer of white cloth wrapped in his chest and back, and when he saw Bai Qianyu coming, he was about to struggle to get up, but Bai Qianyu hurriedly pressed it and said softly: "You are seriously injured and have not healed, so you don't need to see the courtesy." ”
Gao Gao moved his chapped lips and said, "Thank you, Miss Bai!"
Bai Qianyu probed his hand and tried his forehead, only to feel that his forehead was hot, because he asked: "What kind of medicine did you take, why is it not getting better, but it is getting more and more serious?"
The military doctor on the side hurriedly replied: "General Gao was stabbed in the vest and injured his heart, he originally used Qu Huang San to take some Baizhuan Pill, and it has improved slightly, and now, now it is ......."
"What now?" Bai Qianyu asked.
The military doctor bit down and said truthfully: "Now these pills have long been used up! The patient has no medicine to treat, so he can only take some life-saving pills, which will not help, General Gao's condition is good and bad, and now he has a high fever, and he has not retreated, and the medical officers are helpless......
Bai Qianyu sat down in front of Gao Gao's bed, ordered to take a pillow, helped Gao Gao up, and asked someone to take a bowl filled with water, and personally fed him to drink it carefully.
A tall and iron-clad man had red eyes at this time, and his throat choked when he drank water.
After Bai Qianyu fed him water, he asked the military doctor again, "Is there alcohol?"
The military doctor didn't understand for a while, and said, "Wine?"
Bai Qianyu remembered that there was no alcohol in this other world, and immediately said: "That's it, is there any?"
The military doctor hesitated: "There is still half a pot, but it is just for those wounded soldiers when they are afraid that they will be in unbearable pain when they cut their flesh to heal their wounds, the mouth is rough, I am afraid it is not suitable for the girl's taste......"
Bai Qianyu nodded and said, "That's it, go get it!"
The military doctor did as he was told, and in a short time he took half a jug of wine.
Bai Qianyu opened the lid of the kettle, sniffed it under his nose, poured in half a pot of water to dilute it, shook the jug well, and then poured the wine on a white cloth to wipe the neck on both sides of Gao.
Gao Gao said continuously: "White girl, how can I let you wipe my body for me, this ...... I can't help but blush!"
Bai Qianyu wiped it for him, and said: "This is a way to reduce fever, when I was a child, I couldn't take medicine when I had a fever, so my mother thought of this folk remedy, and used it to wipe the arteries on both sides of the neck, but it was also magical, I slept after wiping, and the fever subsided, you try." ”
Gao Gao realized that it was a misunderstanding, and he sneered, but his face was red again.
After Bai Qianyu wiped his neck for him, he helped him lie down and covered the quilt on his body for him.
She was about to turn away, but she heard Gao Gao shouting behind her, "White girl......"
Bai Qianyu turned his head and looked at him, but he didn't know what to say for a while, his lips moved, and he said for a while: "Bai girl, you treat me as well as my mother, and ...... in the future." In the future, high will be rewarded with death!"
Bai Qianyu smiled slightly: "If you take care of your body and recover your strength to guard Zitong Pass, it will be the best reward!"
"Hmm!" Gao Gao replied, only to feel that his body that had been wiped by alcohol suddenly burned even more.
