Chapter 97: Fire Attack
"Woo woo"
The horn sounded outside the city, the barbarians gathered, and the earth-shaking dragon charged again, followed by the barbarian army in the rear.
"Boom"
The walls shook, and one section collapsed, and the gates opened with a bang.
"Killing" General Hu took the lead, and had already led the team to guard the city gate, and the condensed power of the battle array was blessed on him.
The two earth-shaking dragons had just crashed open the city gate, and the remaining momentum was unabated and charged towards the city, General Hu, the spear in his hand flew out, and met the earth-shaking dragon on the left.
"Whew"
The spear sank into the forehead of the earth-shaking dragon, and most of it was submerged into the earth-shaking dragon's body, and the earth-shaking dragon howled and fell down with a bang, while the earth-shaking dragon next to it was red-eyed and charged at a faster speed.
"Whoosh" General Hu jumped out and took off, slashed Huashan with one move, the long knife was cut down, a knife light flashed, and the earthquake dragon rolled and flew over the top of General Hu's head, and a piece of blood spilled.
"Boom"
The headless corpse of the earth-shaking dragon fell, raising a cloud of dust, blood overflowing, infecting the surrounding land, General Hu stepped on the head of the earth-shaking dragon, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!" the hosts shouted, and a wave of voices rose into the sky.
The great army that formed the battle formation rushed towards the gate of the city, and gathered at the gate, but did not rush out of the city.
With the city wall as the battle line and the city gate as the home field, the two wings are unfolded, and the battle array is combined, bringing together all the strength of the people, and everyone's strength has been greatly improved, and it has the power of the battle array to guard, and the body is like steel.
"Kill!" Outside the city, the barbarian army rushed in, and the barbarians like a tide came into contact with the battle formation in an instant, and few barbarians would rush into the city.
It's not that these barbarians are unwilling to attack from both sides after entering the city, but because the city has already prepared a part of the army, guarding the rear, as a replacement force, once the barbarians enter, they must first pass through this pass.
The two sides have been fighting for many years, and they are already familiar with each other, and if there is no absolute force to suppress them, they will not choose to rush into the city at all, which will only lead to the barbarians being divided and annihilated, and no matter how much they enter, they can only be left in the city in the end.
Siege warfare has never been what barbarians are good at, what they are best at is field warfare, preferably in the plains, just like the Huns of the earth.
The barbarian army attacked, and the five Fang Yan people who were isolated on the city wall also had to retreat from the city wall, and the barbarian army that came like a tide, it was impossible for the five people to hold on.
After returning to the ground, merging with the army, the battle formation, and the superposition of strength, the pressure on everyone was reduced.
"Uhhhhhh
A large bird appeared in the sky, and soon a second, and then a third, and then a flock of birds that covered the sky, each with wings two feet wide. When the birds flew by, it rained rocks in the sky, and hundreds of pounds of stones fell from the sky.
There was no order, but everyone gathered on their own, quickly gathered together, and the rain of stones fell from the sky and fell into the city.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Stones fell from the sky, the camp tents were smashed, and the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time were grouped together and all formed a battle formation, even if they were in charge of logistics.
The battle array is combined, those stones fall from the sky, and in each basic battle array, there will be a person who pays attention to the sky, picks up the falling stones, and skillfully resolves this crisis.
On the other hand, Fang Yan's five-person group didn't understand this, after the stone fell, the five people were not assigned, and they all took action to deal with the stone, and in the face of the siege of the barbarians, the five people were confused for a while, and almost broke away from the military formation.
Before the rain had finished, some barrels fell from the sky and fell into the city, and when the barrels shattered, black oil fell to the ground.
"Be careful, there's black oil!" someone shouted, and the battle formation immediately made a new change.
Several wooden barrels fell at the base of the city wall, and Fang Yan saw the black oil spilled out, and immediately understood.
"Oil, this is the rhythm of fire. Fang Yan understood in his heart, separated his heart, and paid attention to the sky.
In a few moments, flaming arrows flew into the city. The soldiers in the rear seemed to be familiar with this routine, dealing with the rockets one by one to prevent the fire from expanding.
The fire attack did not work, and although there were some places on fire, the fire was always restrained and did not spread. The soldiers of logistics used local materials and took advantage of the sandy environment in the city to control the fire, and the fire was in remote places.
The fire was limited and blocked, unable to affect the battle ahead, and this move of the barbarians seemed to have failed.
Soon, however, the situation changed again.
The departed flock returned, this time full of barrels of oil, and threw them into the city like no money, mainly near the city walls.
Inside and outside the city wall, there is oil everywhere, many people are contaminated with a lot of oil, the trebuchets outside the city are still being put in, and the unified use is oil, and the goal of the barbarians seems to be to make up their minds to attack and take the ancient Taiguan in one fell swoop.
The overwhelming wooden barrels flew sideways, and after they fell, oil flowed out when they burst, and there were wood chips everywhere near the city wall, and Fang Yan also began to worry.
"Boom"
The catapult outside the city threw fireballs this time, and the fireballs flew up to the sky and fell towards Gutai Pass, although there were people in the city to extinguish the fire, but there was no one outside the city, and the fire could spread from outside the city to the city.
In a matter of moments, flames burned on the city walls, and the flames spread rapidly, burning towards the city.
Fang Fengbao was fighting with the barbarians, and said in shock: "The barbarians are trying to force us to a dead end, and they won't even let go of their own people." ”
While speaking, Fang Fengbao also took a little breath, obviously consuming a lot, and Lin Feng and they didn't reply, they could see that they were also tired, from dawn to now, it was almost noon.
Fang Yan blocked the barbarian's bone spear with a sword and said: "Everyone is ready to retreat, these barbarians may have to fight hard, don't waste your strength, self-protection is the most important." ”
"Woo woo"
The horn sounded, and the army retreated, in an orderly manner, retreating little by little, and Fang Yan and the five people also retreated together.
Although on the way to retreat, the battle formation of the five people was disconnected from the military formation, but the barbarians had no follow-up army, and these in the city were all abandoned, and they did not seem to have any self-knowledge, but became more and more desperate.
The fire spread so quickly that the army withdrew, quickly leaving the oil-soaked lands and no longer entangled with the barbarians. By the time they retreated to the vicinity of the South Gate, the North Gate had become a sea of fire.
The remnants of the barbarians have been completely abandoned, there is a military formation in front of them, and there is a sea of fire in the back, and there is nowhere to escape, even if they try their best, they will soon be strangled by the military formation.
"Retreat. General Hu looked at the sea of fire helplessly, and could only order a retreat.
Outside the city, barbarian catapults continued to throw oil barrels, allowing the fire to continue to expand. The army retreated, taking as much as it could, leaving a group of people to stay in the southern city.
On the city tower, General Hu looked at the sea of fire in Beicheng, his face was solemn, and Fang Yan stepped forward and said, "Just retreat like this, but you just let the barbarians enter the pass." ”
"I know, but I'll drive the barbarians out of the gates again. General Hu was confident and seemed to be sure of victory.
Fang Yan sat down and said, "Actually, you can give up guarding the pass, even if you let these barbarians enter the pass, so what." ”
General Hu frowned and looked at the other party, and said after a while, "Do you think you can persecute those clans by this method?"
"I know I can't. Fang Yan sighed. "This is the general trend of the world, we can't change it, and neither can the barbarians, I'm just trying to protect myself. ”
General Hu said coldly: "I advise you to give up this idea, if you really let the barbarians enter the customs, you will die even worse in the end." ”
"I'm just talking, why should you take it seriously. Fang Yan said with a smile. "There are also things I care about in the pass, and I can't let the barbarians enter the pass. ”
General Hu sighed and said: "The bald people rose from the black water and white mountains, and in just ten years, they unified the northern barbarian tribes, and the general trend has been achieved. ”
General Hu sighed as he spoke, and said with a solemn expression: "Do you know that there is a rumor in the northern tribe that describes bald people, Jin people are less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible. At the beginning, the bald men raised only 30,000 troops, and against the million-strong army of Huyan, we all thought that they would lose, but in the end they won. ”
Fang Yan didn't know the situation in the north, nor did he know their history, so he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, this world was not the world of the earth, the bald people looked a bit like the Jurchens, and the Huyan army looked like the original Liao people.
But the situation on the earth is fundamentally different from here, this is a world of martial arts, strength is the king, the royal court is rotten or something, it is possible, but strength is the real foundation.
He hadn't seen the strength of the bald people, nor did he know the strength of the Huyan people at the beginning, the strength of these barbarians he encountered now was good, Fang Yan could only infer from this that the bald people were probably all martial arts masters.
General Hu continued: "At the beginning, I didn't believe that the bald people had this strength, but now I have to believe that they have unified the north, and now I have to believe the bald people information I got at the beginning. ”
Fang Yan asked tentatively, "Could it be that the bald people who are adults are all martial arts masters?"
General Hu looked at Fang Yan seriously and nodded: "It's only going to be worse than this, maybe they are all Dan Jin." ”
Fang Yan gasped and couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "How is this possible? Is it possible that the bald people are some kind of ancient relics? The bloodlines of the clansmen are all activated, and then they are passed on to the power of the ancients?"
The people of a clan, after they become adults, are all martial arts masters, this is really appalling, relying on the comprehensive combat power of the body refining method to reach this height is nothing, if all of them are Dan Jin level, it will be terrifying.
Barbarians are already good at refining the body, although they can also practice true qi, but there are not many who can really reach the realm of martial arts, but the bald soldiers are all Danjin-level existences, which proves that every one of them is at least the realm of martial arts, and only those who have cultivated their true qi to this realm can truly condense their qi into Dan and master the power of Danjin.
