Previous Chapter: Chapter 695 Heavenly Fire Burns the CityNext Chapter: Chapter 697 Recovering Denghua

In just a few days, the Xuan army broke through two towns in a row, for Ye Kongshan, because Lu Dayong and Xue Taoliang are wastes, they don't know how to lead troops or fight at all!

Only the Denghua soldiers are the real tiger and wolf army! Everyone belongs to the Huwei army, but all the city guards in the towns south of the Yangtze River, and only the Denghua soldiers are 'drilling' every day, and all of them are 'fine' and fierce, and they have long been looking forward to wanting to fight, and now the Xuanjun army has automatically sent them to the 'door', and that is simply a godsend!

As long as the Xuan army dares to come, let them know that it is not only the Tiger Courage Army that can fight in the Yin Dynasty, but also their Denghua soldiers!

Behind him, under the city walls, there were about a thousand barrels of high-grade spirits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info(hua.marshmallow--Now the city is still stepping up purification, once the fight starts, these wines are the most effective weapons to defend the city, ignited with a fuse, and then thrown out with a catapult, which can be used to deal with the cavalry, which can make the Xuanjun cavalry fall into the sea of fire in an instant!

Even if it falls on the city wall, this spirit is much better than burning materials such as tung oil, because it can ignite a fire that is difficult to extinguish as long as it encounters fragmentary sparks, unlike those oils, which must be ignited by open flames!

It's just 200,000 Xuan troops, these things are enough for them to drink a pot, if they can still break the city, let them taste the ballistae of Denghua soldiers.

This is the real killer weapon of the Denghua Army! There are not many troops in the entire Yin Dynasty, only thirty 'gates', and Ye Kongshan's uncle is the deputy general of the Huwei Army, so through his connections, he 'gets' five 'gates' of ballistas, which is enough to hold a small Denghua City!

Of course, Ye Kongshan didn't dare to really sit back and relax, even if he hadn't seen it in person, he would definitely be able to guess whether the Xuan Army was empty or not! According to the time, it was less than five days' work, and the flames of war had already burned around Baitou Mountain, which was a miracle in itself!

Even if Lu Dayong is a straw bag, he still knows how much Xue Taoliang is capable of! If he can govern Tuwan City into the largest city in the hinterland of the Central Plains, how can this prefect be a fool?

Regardless of whether the Xuan soldiers really have the ability or the straw bag pillow, anyway, the Denghua soldiers are already in full battle, just waiting for the Xuan soldiers to let their horses come! In tomorrow's battle, who will be the strong man in the Bailuan Continent will naturally be clear!

It was estimated that no one in the Denghua barracks would be able to sleep soundly this night! Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was hazy, the city guards began to assemble, and after a hurried breakfast, they began to move stacks of arrows to the city wall, as well as rolling wood and stones, all of which were weapons to prevent the Xuanbing soldiers from climbing the wall.

There were three thousand archers, and at their feet lay a jar of spirits. This is used to make rockets! To deal with the cavalry rushing in front of them, only rockets can make the horses that have already run away and excited to rush to the fear, and even make them turn around!

The detachments of Denghua soldiers were all neatly arrayed under the city wall, they held shields in their left hands, guns in their right hands, waist knives at their waists, and the armor on their bodies was at least eighty pounds, and they were covered with thick metal from head to toe!

They split into phalanxes of the same size, each phalanx was about a hundred people, the outermost was blocked with long shields, and the soldiers inside would stab the enemy through the gaps, and then stab and receive, which was very difficult to deal with!

The city 'gate' has been sealed, the suspension bridge outside the city has been lowered, and there is nearly four feet of sewage in the moat under the bridge, which is covered with a thick layer of oil stains.

Everything is ready, just wait for the Xuan army to come and send them to death! On the city wall, the majestic drum is constantly beating, 'exciting' and 'swinging' the ambition of all the soldiers!

Today's battle of the Denghua soldiers will go down in history, Chengren and Chengyi are all in one move, even if the Xuan army can finally break the city 'gate', they will also be greatly damaged, 15,000 Denghua soldiers will live and die together in Denghua City!

But the war drums were beaten until the drummers' arms were counted, and there was still no movement on the Xuanying side! After waiting for a while, the sun had risen to the sky, and the sky was bright, Ye Kongshan ordered to beat the drum again, provoking the Xuanying army to come to fight, this time it was a full half an hour, and there was still no movement on the Xuanying side!

The sun slowly rose high in the sky, the temperature began to heat up, the soldiers above and below the city wall began to sweat one by one, and the line that had been standing as straight as a javelin began to slacken.

Now that we have entered the hot summer, even if we are wearing single clothes, we will still sweat all over our bodies, not to mention that in order to fight this battle, the Denghua soldiers are wearing heavy armor! Such a thick armor is covered with a thick quilt! When the sun shines, these armors are like a hearth that has been burned red, and when you reach out and 'touch' it, you almost scald out blisters!

When the sun almost rose overhead, Ye Kongshan, who was almost smoking, ordered the drum to beat again, but there was still no movement on the Xuanying side! These 'bastards', aren't they going to attack today? Are they thinking of using siege techniques?

Then you have miscalculated! Now the grain stored in Denghua City is enough for the people and soldiers of the whole city to eat for a month! As for a month later, the main army should have come back a long time ago, and the wasteland outside the city is the last place where the Xuan soldiers are buried!

After the sound of the drums, Xuanying was no longer moving, which was actually expected by Ye Kongshan. The soldiers on the city walls began to stagger and stand less neatly, and some even took off their helmets and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

The soldiers under the city wall are even more sitting or squatting, each looking for 'shade' and coolness, and they all curse the Xuanbing fiercely in their hearts, blaming them for not picking a cool time to fight, even if they pick this time, it is nothing, the big deal is to go back to their respective homes after the fight, but the despicable and shameless Xuanjun actually released a city pigeon...

But at this moment, someone suddenly felt a flash of light in the corner of his eyes, subconsciously turned his head, put his hand on the pergola and looked up, and exclaimed in surprise: "What is that?"

The people next to him heard his cry and followed his eyes, but they saw that on the distant Baektu Mountain, it seemed that they could see snow in the daytime! The current Baektu Mountain can really be called this name, and the mountainside is covered with white 'color', like snow and not snow, what is that?

Could it be that the Xuanjun is up there? What the hell are they doing? Do you want to use the same method to deal with Tuwan City to deal with Denghua? If you can hit it from so far, then you are not a catapult, but a catapult!

It's a pity that this kind of thing hasn't been invented yet, but I have a ballista here! Since you don't dare to attack, it seems that you want to trick Lao Tzu into going out and fighting with you in the wasteland? Dream on! Idle is idle, let you taste Lao Tzu's power!

"Ergui, take your soldiers, push the Thunderbolt General to the 'gate' of the West City, and send me a few cannons on the mountain! Scare and scare these rebels and let them retreat!" Ye Kongshan gave an order to a captain under the city wall with a sinister smile on his face.

A strong man with a simple face immediately stood up, buckled the helmet in his hand to his head, and said to Ye Kongshan: "But our Thunderbolt General can't shoot that far!"

Ye Kongshan's eyes widened, and he looked at him and scolded: "Nonsense! I didn't mean to scare and scare them! Even if you can't 'shoot' that far, you can 'shoot' to the foot of the mountain!"

Ergui scratched his head and muttered: "It's said that you can't shoot, why do you still 'wave' with crossbow arrows?" You don't know how troublesome it is to make a crossbow arrow!"

It's a pity that the 'complaining' is the 'complaining', and the boss's order still has to be obediently completed, Ergui waved his arm and shouted to the crowd: "The artillery battalion follows me!" Immediately more than 200 people stood up and followed him to the base of the wall.

As soon as he took two steps, Ergui stood up again, looked up at Ye Kongshan and shouted, "General, shall I bring a few Thunderbolt generals over?"

"Take it all away!" Ye Kongshan waved his hand, quite bold. One or two 'doors' are too shabby, they can't produce a shocking effect at all, although there are not many five 'doors', but this thing is a new thing, I heard that the people of Gongwei learned from countries outside the West Sea, because the process is cumbersome, so there are not many of them, and they have not participated in the war so far, and today it is the first time to drink blood!

After walking a few more steps, Ergui stopped again, turned his head and shouted at Ye Kongshan: "General, how many arrows do you want?"

Ye Kongshan was furious, glared at Ergui and scolded: "You are really a pig's head! There are only fifty crossbow arrows in total, and you can put ten of them! Do you want to release them all? Don't you know how to do it yourself? Ask me everything, what do you want you to do as the captain of the artillery battalion?!"

The second noble man walked away. Ye Kongshan was still a little angry, and scolded and said: "What a stupid pig, if it weren't for your sister-in-law, Lao Tzu wouldn't have picked a stupid guy like you to be the captain of the artillery battalion!"

So Ergui took more than 200 people to push the five 'gates' of ballistas to the 'gate' of Xicheng! In fact, the artillery battalion said that it was a battalion, and there were only 200 people in total, which was really stained with the light of the five 'gates' of the thunderbolt general!

Pushing the five 'gates' of ballistas, Er Gui muttered in his mouth: "I worked hard to push the five 'gates' of the cannon to the west 'gate', just to release the five arrows, and called me stupid!"

There weren't many defenders at the 'gate' of the West City, and no one with the slightest brains in this place would consider it a place to break the city. The 'gate' of the west city is just a look, and the 'gate' of the city is the same as the 'gate' room of the common people.

The outside is full of 'chaotic' rocky beaches, not to mention horses, it is difficult for people to come over, and it is even more difficult to charge, so Ye Kongshan only put 300 soldiers here to prevent the Xuan army from 'touching' the fish in the troubled waters to steal into the city!

Five ballistae were lined up and placed inside the 'gate' of the West City. Lifting the red cloth on it, he 'revealed' the dark and shiny ballista that had been wiped inside, skillfully loaded the crossbow arrows, and then raised the head of the spear and aimed at the Baiyun Mountain in the distance.

These five 'doors' of artillery have been 'drilled' many times by this group of people, and now they are finally going to come in handy, even if it is not a face-to-face attack on the Xuan army, at least it can be regarded as being used on the battlefield, which is equivalent to opening the bud of these five 'doors' of artillery!

With Ergui's loud shout, the five 'doors' ballistas made a crisp and short sound in turn, like putting the iron basin in his ear and flicking it with his fingers, which was a little deafening, but not harsh!

The five crossbow arrows are like five flying dragons, and they rush into the sky with a "whoosh!" and then draw a beautiful parabola and shuttle quickly through the air!

On the top of the mountain, Xiao Bao and the guards of the Divine Palace, who had been observing the movement of the 'gate' of Denghua City, all widened their eyes in surprise, watching the five flying dragons 'shoot' in a hurry, and then disappeared into the woods at the foot of the mountain!

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other! What kind of weapon is this, and how can it be so powerful! From the 'gate' of Denghua Xicheng to Baektu Mountain, there are about 1,000 steps, and it is simply unbelievable that this weapon can 'shoot' so far!

Xiao Bao's eyes lit up, and he shouted to his side: "Come! Inform General Man, keep the West Gate, I want to leave those things with wheels! I want to see what kind of treasure it is!"
