Chapter 254: Snowball Fight?
For several days in a row, the wind and snow were extremely extreme, and Ning Ze's army temporarily rested in the ice and snow city.
The pressure in Liao County suddenly decreased, but he did not dare to be negligent.
On the fourth day, the snow finally cleared and ushered in a good day.
Ning Ze immediately mobilized the hot air balloon and ordered the soldiers to take it into the air and go to burn the water dragon car. He led the generals and led the army to prepare for war outside the city.
The scouts reported that Chu Bai and Cheng Wan hurriedly led their troops to the city, bringing a large amount of black dog blood and rooster blood, and called Li Tai'an at the same time.
"Did the layman break through Ning Ze's demon arts?" asked Chu Bai on the city wall.
Li Tai'an shook his head and sighed: "This sub-demon method is too weird, and the poor way has not yet been understood. When I went back to look through the ancient books, I didn't see any records. However, you can rest assured that as long as there is a water dragon car, you will be able to retreat from the enemy! The enemy's crossbow arrows are heavier than ordinary arrows, and the range is not as long as that of a strong crossbow, and it is not as far as a water dragon car. As long as the water dragon cart blocks the enemy and prevents the enemy from approaching, the city can be safe!"
"If that's the case, just delay, Ning Ze will withdraw sooner or later!" Chu Bai was a little relieved.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in front of him, and someone shouted: "Hurry, look at the sky!"
"Ning Ze casts a demon spell again!"
"It looks like a ship is coming!"
......
How could the boat fly? Li Tai'an looked puzzled, and hurriedly followed Chu Bai and Cheng Wan to the front to check.
It didn't matter what I saw, I was all shocked.
It turned out that there was really a strangely shaped wooden boat in the sky, slowly flying towards this side.
The wind is not very strong, so the hot air balloon flies slowly, but in the eyes of the defenders in the city, it is still scary.
After all, a flying ship is a fairy car in their eyes.
"Archery, archery!" Seeing the hot air balloon approaching, the city wall guard hurriedly ordered.
The defenders shot arrows, where they flew to the height of the hot air balloon, drew an arc and fell, falling in the open space outside the city.
"What kind of magic is this?" Chu Bai hurriedly asked Li Tai'an.
Li Tai'an looked up at the hot air balloon, the whole person was stunned, this was beyond his cognition, and even doubted for a moment if there was really a spell, could it be that Ning Ze was different from himself, he was a real cultivator?
Seeing Li Tai'an in a daze, Chu Bai asked again, "Layman, what kind of demon art is this?"
Li Tai'an came back to his senses and shook his head blankly: "Poor, poor Dao has not been cultivated to this extent, there is no way to know!"
"What do you mean, Ning Ze's spells are more powerful?" Chu Bai hurriedly asked.
Li Tai'an hurriedly replied: "Not necessarily! It's just that this son's demon magic is weird, and the poor Tao has never heard of it!"
"Is there a way for the layman to break it?"
"This ......"
As he spoke, the hot air balloon fluttered above the city wall.
The soldiers above calculated the angle and began to throw the phosphorus powder canisters downward, aiming specifically at the water hose cart.
"Bang, bang, bang......" The water dragon cars were relatively scattered, not easy to aim, and the first few were all smashed into the air, and the phosphorus fire still injured many defenders, and there was a wail all of them.
Then it finally hit the water hose, and the wooden structure of the car burned directly in the phosphorus fire.
"Their target is the water hose car, hurry! Hurry up and protect the water hose cart!" Cheng Wan saw it and hurriedly shouted.
The defenders immediately sprang into action, desperately trying to rescue the water hook cart.
In the air, a phosphorus powder jar is thrown down as if it is not money, the water hook car is too cumbersome, and it is very troublesome to disassemble it after it is built, after all, there is a rather long bamboo tube behind it, until the pond. Even though the defenders tried desperately to rescue, they were still ignited one by one, and most of the defenders who had come to the rescue were caught in the phosphorus fire and wailed in pain.
When the water dragon carts were all burning and could no longer be used, the defenders on the city wall were in chaos, Ning Ze gave a loud order, and the whole army charged.
This time, led by Dewey and Wang Wei, he led the Futu army to attack.
Ning Ze, Mi Yan and others sat in the rear.
"Defend the city, defend the city!" Seeing that Ning Ze dispatched the Futu army, not the crossbowman army, at least there would not be the terrible explosion before. Chu Bai immediately ordered his henchmen to lead the troops to hold on.
Cheng Wan also sent soldiers to assist in defending the city, shooting arrows frantically below, throwing out sassalwood and rolling stones. There were also some soldiers who constantly poured down the golden juice, that is, the boiled human and all kinds of animal dung.
Dewey and Wang Wei were repulsed several times, and although their morale was greatly damaged, the combined forces of Chu Bai and Cheng Wan still had a certain combat effectiveness.
Seeing this scene, Ning Ze didn't want to consume the Futu Army. I thought that if I burned down Water Dragon City, the morale of the other party was not high, and it would be difficult to resist the attack, but I didn't expect that there would be such combat power.
Hurry up and let Dewey and Wang Wei withdraw.
Wang Wei didn't speak after he came back, but Dewey hurriedly said: "Brother, we will definitely be able to attack the city, why Mingjin?"
Ning Ze said: "It's useless to attack, I have a plan!"
Immediately ordered all the soldiers to prepare snowballs on the spot, and then took turns to charge and throw them under the gate of Liao County.
Snowball fight? Everyone couldn't understand Ning Ze's thoughts, and couldn't understand why he suddenly gave such a child's order.
"Husband, why is this?" Mi Yan on the side couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"I'll know later!" Ning Ze gave the order, although he couldn't understand his thoughts, all the soldiers resolutely carried it out.
Ning Ze's army was repulsed, and the defenders of the city secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Bai and Cheng Wan were also relieved, as long as Ning Ze didn't use the demon arrows that the crossbowmen would explode before, it would not be so easy to attack the city!
"What are they doing?" Seeing that after Ning Ze Mingjin, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses dared to make snowballs on the spot like a child's play, and a guard general couldn't help but shout.
Chu Bai, Cheng Wan, Li Tai'an, and other generals rushed to the front city wall and looked down to check the situation.
Sure enough, Ning Zejun was all pinching snowballs, including Ning Ze himself, as well as all the civil and military officials around him.
It was a very confusing scene, and I couldn't figure out what it was for.
In everyone's mind, only carefree children will pinch snowballs and have snowball fights.
Could it be that Ning Ze couldn't capture the city, so he simply played?
Impossible!Or is he going to perform some kind of hex?
Everyone in the city became nervous and watched with trepidation.
Ning Ze divided the army into two groups, one group continued to pinch the snowball in the rear, and the other group held the snowball that had been pinched, and rushed to the city gate under the personal leadership of Ning Ze.
"Don't let them get close!Shoot, shoot!" Although he didn't know what the other party was planning, Chu Bai still sensed the crisis and ordered loudly.
"Defend, defend!" Cheng Wan also ordered loudly, asking his subordinates to cooperate in combat.
"Cover!" Ning Ze gave an order, and a team of crossbowmen quickly stepped forward and fired intensively at the city wall, weakening the opponent's defensive firepower. Then another group of floating slaughter troops appeared, shielded, guarding the front of the group, specifically to defend against the arrows.
Before entering the attack range of the Mulberry, Rolling Stone, and Golden Juice, Ning Ze ordered to stop and let all the soldiers throw the snowball in their hands to the bottom of the city wall.
After the front was lost, they immediately retreated in an orderly manner, and the soldiers in the rear made up for it and threw snowballs at the same position again.
Tens of thousands of people took turns throwing snowballs, and it was a spectacular sight.
With the cover of crossbowmen and the whole defense of the Futu army, it is not easy for the defenders to cause damage to Ning Zejun, not to mention that the opponent tries to stand as far as possible from the effective attack distance of the arrows.
At the beginning, the defenders in the city couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do, could it be that they couldn't break through the city, so they smashed snowballs in anger to vent their anger?
However, as tens of thousands of people stepped forward in turn, they continued to throw snowballs, and seeing that snowball slopes gradually appeared higher and higher under the city wall, Chu Bai and Cheng Wan looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically: "Oops! Ning Ze wants to use snowballs to build a slope to facilitate the enemy army to attack the city!"
"Don't let it succeed!" Cheng Wan thought quickly and shouted loudly, "Fire! Use fire! Hurry up and pour tung oil down, as long as the fire burns, the ice and snow will melt and the slope will not be created!"
"Yes, yes!" Chu Bai agreed with his idea and hurriedly ordered, "Quickly take the tung oil!"
The defenders sprang into action and quickly poured the gold juice down, and sure enough, the hot gold juice quickly melted into the slope made of snowballs, and large holes appeared.
Later, a large amount of tung oil was seen falling, and someone dropped the torch and immediately burned it, melting the ice and snow slope that had been piled up little by little.
"Brother, the other party seems to see through your plan, what should I do?" Dewey hurriedly asked when he saw this.
"See through my plan?" Ning Ze laughed when he heard this, "Just rely on them, what kind of jokes!"
"Didn't my brother make a ramp so that our army could attack the city?" asked Dewey curiously.
Ning Ze turned his head to him and said, "The ice and snow slope is slippery, and we don't have spiked shoes, how can we go up?"
"It's not for this, why did my brother tell me to wait to build the slope?"
"Because the fool on the other side must think so, we throw a snowball and they will try to melt it. Keep losing, keep burning, do you know how hot and cold to expand and contract?"
"Thermal expansion and cold contraction?" Dewey looked dazed.
Not only him, but the other generals around him also couldn't understand it.
"Let's change positions and continue to lose," Ning Ze said with a smile, "The city wall was bombed a few days ago, and there were cracks everywhere. Another round of thermal expansion and contraction, its solidity is greatly reduced. Then use catapults and rambots to overturn the city walls and gates more easily! If the other side wants to defend it, I will let them lose their most important line of defense!"
So Ning Zejun continued to throw snowballs under the city wall, but in a different position.
Of course, the defenders of the city will not sit idly by, and immediately dump tung oil on the other side and set it on fire, so as not to create the ice and snow slope.
Rounds of attacks continued, and with the bitter cold winter, the heat was felt on the city walls, after all, the fire was burning below.
After several attacks and defenses, the city wall has been blackened, and the bottom is also melted to a mess, with puddles everywhere and burning tung oil.
Seeing that it was almost over, Ning Ze squinted and smiled: "It's almost, the catapult will prepare first!
Several catapults were quickly pushed from behind, and the soldiers worked together to put huge stones in.
"Boom, boom, boom......" As Ning Ze ordered, the catapults attacked in turn, and huge stones crossed graceful curves in the air and smashed on the city wall one after another. Originally, the strong walls could withstand several boulder attacks, but now a boulder fell, smashing countless cracks and crumbling.
As the boulders flew one by one, the city wall was instantly pitted, and large holes appeared.
