Chapter 275: Burning Ambition

After the vine armor soldiers rushed into the urn city, they were shot into ~ humanoid hedgehogs one by one, but ordinary arrows could not break through the defense, and they could not cause damage to the vine armor soldiers. Seeing this situation, the Wei generals immediately ordered the launch of rockets. The Wei army's rockets were not like the Shu army's rockets, but ordinary arrows were just oil-soaked and burning strips of cloth tied to them, but they could still cause damage to the vine armor soldiers.

Didn't you say that the rattan armor of the rattan armor soldiers had been fireproofed? How can you still be afraid of fire? The reason is that the Wei army piled up a lot of firewood, oil and other flammable materials on the ground of the urn city, and when the rocket was launched, the urn city was lit up everywhere. The rattan armor is not a fully enclosed fireproof suit, and the flame can penetrate through the cracks in the rattan armor, so for a while, the rattan armor soldiers let out a burst of screams, and they panicked like ants in a hot pot.

When Liu Hou captured the seven generals of Eastern Wu and tens of thousands of troops alive in Jingzhou, this incident caused a sensation, which was not only talked about by ordinary people, but also became their after-dinner conversation, and it was also a classic example of generals from all over the world vying to study first. The Wei army, perhaps inspired by Liu Hou, also laid such a trap to deal with the Shu army.

This trick is indeed ruthless enough, and the ratio of pay and income is very large, so when Liu Hou did not have an urn city in Jingzhou City, he had to temporarily build an environment similar to an urn city to implement this strategy, and Runan City has a ready-made urn city, it is very easy to implement this strategy, Cao Xiu will miss this opportunity, and after his staff proposed this strategy, he immediately agreed.

This is to give back to oneself in the way of others, and Liu Hou can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot. Originally, it was not easy for the Wei army to succeed in implementing this strategy, because the Shu army had hot air balloons and could condescendingly reconfront the Wei army's movements. However, the Wei army in Runan City had long been guarding against the Shu army's attack, and had been secretly prepared early on.

They closed the city gate and the area of the urn city early on, and did not allow idle people to approach, so that the people of the "CIA" in Runan could not find out what was going on in these military districts. As for whether this will bring inconvenience to the common people's travel, the Wei generals have not considered this issue at all, not to mention that it is now in a time of war, and military operations are the most important thing, even in peacetime, when did these warlords treat the people as human beings?

Because some time ago, the "CIA" cooperated with the special forces to make a big fuss in Xuchang City, which made the upper echelons of Wei realize that there may be a lot of Shu State details lurking around them, so they also began to pay attention to intelligence work and counter-espionage and anti-leakage work. Therefore, for secret military operations such as laying traps this time, the Wei army also began to pay attention to secrecy.

After blockading these areas, Cao Xiu sent his own guards to secretly place flammable materials in the urn city at night, and covered them all with earthy yellow cloth to deceive the Shu army's high-altitude reconnaissance.

As the Wei army and the Shu army fought more and more battles, the Wei army also learned more and more about the methods of the Shu army, and the wise men in the Wei army would of course think about how to crack the unbelievable methods of the Shu army. In this world, there is a spear and a shield, and there is a trick to break it, as long as any kind of trick is used and violently ~ exposed in front of people, then it will be cracked one day sooner or later.

The "CIA" of Shu was aware of their existence and took precautions against it, the hot air balloon of the Shu army was a reconnaissance weapon, and now the Wei army has also made deceptive measures against this, which is nothing to do. Although Liu Hou had expected this, he did not expect to suffer such a backlash at this time.

The flames burning under their feet roasted the vine armor soldiers to the ground, and the vultures saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered a retreat. Although his head lacked tendons, he was not really stupid after all, on the contrary, he had a beastly keen intuition about danger, and the flames rising under his feet gave him a strong sense of crisis, and after he yelled "retreat" like a mad beast, he turned around and ran wildly towards the gap.

He is completely a humanoid Tan~Ke, I don't know how many subordinates he bumped into along the way, this humanoid beast is brave and incomparable when it charges, and it is indomitable, and it is also full of momentum and unstoppable when it escapes. Suddenly encountering a fire attack, coupled with the retreat of the main general, the guide zhì vine armor soldiers were in chaos, even if they were usually well-trained and disciplined, at this time, they were inevitably chaotic, and they could no longer maintain their formation and discipline, and they all rushed to the gap.

During this period, I don't know how many people were pushed to the ground and trampled, but fortunately, the rattan armor can not only prevent knives and guns, but also anti-stampede artifact, so no one died because of being trampled, but if you escape slowly, you are likely to be burned to death.

Fortunately, the gap that was blown open was very large, which could accommodate many people at one time, and there was a large section of the city wall on both sides of the gap that was blown up, and these collapsed rubble were not as high as the straight city wall, and after the earth and stone were lifted by the shock wave, under the action of gravity, they naturally piled up into a triangular pyramid when they fell, forming an inclined plane with an angle of about 45 degrees on each side.

Such a rough and uneven, mixed with earth and stone slope can be climbed, although the rattan armor soldiers wearing rattan armor is a bit unfavorable for climbing, but under the pressure of life danger, no matter how unfavorable the conditions must be overcome, no matter how weak the physical fitness will explode, not to mention that the vine armor soldiers are usually well-trained, and because it is a cold weapon unit, they pay special attention to physical training, all of them are muscular men.

In times of crisis, some of the people who saw that they could not squeeze into the gap turned into rock climbing experts, climbing out of the city from the ruins of the collapsed city walls on both sides of the gap. With the first batch of such people, some people soon followed suit, and this form of escape did greatly increase the speed of escape for the rattan armor soldiers.

The hot air balloon soon transmitted the situation on the front line back to Liu Hou's imperial tent, and Liu Hou's eyes were about to crack, and he immediately ordered Guan Xing to send soldiers to meet the vine armor soldiers, and ordered the Keqiu killing troops to immediately aim at the inner city wall of the urn city to carry out a covering attack.

When launched outside the city, Keqiu needs to go over the outer city wall, which will block people's view, but not rockets. Because rockets can fly over the outer walls from the air and fly in the form of a parabola to the inner walls. The premise is to measure the distance of the target in advance, and then the artillery of the Keqiu killing unit will calculate the elevation angle of the barrel according to the ballistic formula, so that the rocket will be projectile ~ to the target along the pre-set parabola.

After the gap was blown out, it was possible to look all the way to the inner city from the outside of the city, and taking advantage of this, the Keqiu killing troops quickly completed the distance measurement. Of course, the hot air balloon in the air also helped the Keqiu killing troops to measure the range, and the two phases corroborated that the ranging results of the Shu artillery could be more accurate.

The development of simple ranging technology is also an important technical guarantee for the accuracy of all kinds of artillery of the Shu army. Of course, Keqiu's killing is as bad as ever, and this time only about one percent of the cannonballs hit the inner city wall, but this is enough, the Wei soldiers on the city wall were immediately emptied of a large ~ piece, and the rest were also suppressed so that they didn't dare to raise their heads, so they didn't dare to continue to be arrogant to the vine armor soldiers in the urn city.
