[157] Rainfall

The Communist Labor Army and the three leading armies, under the cover of the dense morning fog, suddenly attacked, but unexpectedly hit the Xiao Jiajun and the Jiuyou Army who were defending the city by surprise.

Fortunately, even on foggy days, the defenders of the city were also equipped with light and dark sentry posts on the city wall, and patrols were also added, so the Gonggong military was discovered by them as soon as they put the ladder on the wall.

It was only because the communist army had taken advantage of the fog to assemble all the siege equipment in the distance outside the city, so that the defenders lost the opportunity. As soon as the fog lifted, the siege equipment of the Communist Labor Army arrived at the bottom of the city, and they were fired at the head of the wall, and the arrows and stones were intertwined, and the defenders had to deal with the infantry of the Communist Labor Army attacking the head of the city, and they had to dodge the flying arrows and boulders.

In addition, most of the defenders of the city are improvised recruits and militias, and all kinds of disadvantages are in front of them, so that they will suffer such heavy casualties.

"The mandarin duck array blocked all the enemies who dared to climb the wall, and attacked the ladder that burned them!" Looking at his soldiers, one after another under the attack of trebuchets and repeaters, Wu Zhiqi suddenly swung his knife, slashed over the enemy troops who had just followed the ladder and climbed the city, and he had already killed the red-eyed and kicked the ladder over, and then gritted his teeth and scolded: "Damn Lao Tzu fought with you today." ”。

Saying that his face was full of murderous anger, he slashed back with a knife, and hacked to death an enemy soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city, turned the ghost head knife in his hand into the scabbard at his waist, and moved in one go without dragging mud and water, and then leaned down to pick up the repeater left by a dead soldier, climbed onto the battlement, and began to shoot arrows at the enemy troops under the city.

As soon as the Xiao family soldiers heard him say that they were attacking with fire, they immediately pushed a lot of four-wheel long fierce fire oil tanks made of boiled copper, and placed the four copper pipes on the cabinets horizontally at the mouth of the barrel, aiming at the enemy ladders outside the city that had been erected between the wall buttresses.

The Nine Shadows hurriedly shielded these fiery oil tanks with their shields to prevent them from being attacked by enemy boulders and arrowheads. The Xiao Jiajun used the red-hot soldering cone to ignite the lead * in the "Fire Tower" with the front part of the pump cylinder, and then pulled the pump vigorously to put pressure on the air in the oil tank; in an instant, the oil erupted into flames, and the fierce fire oil erupted from the "Fire Tower", burning into a flame like a fire dragon, and went towards the enemy with teeth and claws.

Wherever it passed, it would bring a pungent scorching smell and burn the enemy's ladder into a fire ladder.

Seeing this, Yu Rong, another general of the defending army, also took advantage of the chaos to gather the soldiers of Yu Min and Yu Tou to fly high, spread his wings in the wind and flew out of the city, and after igniting the incendiary canister and earth-shaking thunder in his hand, he threw himself into the battlefield below.

For a time, the smoke of gunpowder outside Tiantong City became thicker; explosions broke out, and in the midst of the fierce dust, the raging fire spread in all directions, spreading rapidly on the Communist Labor Army and the three leading armies who dared to approach the city wall of Tiantong City, burning them screaming again and again, and constantly emitting the sound of "Zizi" on their bodies.

In the rice fields outside the city, although all the rice has been harvested before the war, there are a lot of withered yellow weeds growing on the ridges, and it is already the season of autumn at this time, some of the weather is dry, and the burning cans in the hands of the flying troops of the Xiao family army are full of fierce fire oil, and as soon as the servants fall to the ground, they are the fire walls with the road.

Sparks flew in the wind, and those walls of fire instantly killed countless enemy troops and divided them.

The explosion and the flames forced the Communists, who were still in good order, to jump into the fields where mud and water were left and continued to move forward in order to avoid the wall of fire.

But the mud also restrained their legs and slowed them down. For the defenders of the city, they should have been moving targets one by one, but at this time, they became fixed targets one by one, which invisibly greatly increased the headshot rate of the Xiao family army and the Jiuyou army.

Although the fight was so fierce, the two sides still did not flinch, they were still attacking and defending. With their loyalty, for the great cause of their respective monarchs, but also for his cherished relatives, friends and homeland, to write a singing and weeping feat!

"Open the cannons, hit their siege engines. Wu Zhiqi saw that the enemy's offensive had slowed down, and he resolutely roared! At the same time, after filling the arrow magazine of the repeater in his hand with arrows, he climbed to the wall again and aimed at a rider on a war elephant who had already come to the wall.

At the sound of his order, the herald waved the command flag vigorously, and the soldiers in the arrow turret on the wall saw this, and calibrated their cannons one after another, aiming at the siege equipment in the distance outside the city.

*, the solid bullets whistled again and again, cutting graceful arcs through the air, tearing and burning the air around them, heading towards the enemy army.

Immediately, there was a burst of rocks and mud flying in the Communist Labor Army, and the dust shot out, bringing a burst of earth-shattering explosions, and at the same time, tearing apart the enemy's siege equipment.

The fire-filled wood chips, accompanied by iron flakes, arsenic, poison and other materials, swirled and shot at the Communists in all directions, beating them with their heads in misery.

The continuous violent explosions and the flames spreading everywhere also made the war elephants, who had been trained rigorously, panic. Instead of striding forward calmly, they scattered in a panic, trying to avoid places where there were no flames or explosions, only to find that no matter where they ran, the boom continued.

Many of the Communist Labor Army did not die under the guns of the enemy, but they let these panicked elephants trample to death under the inevitable situation.

It's really an ordinary life, but a tragic death!

What's even more terrifying is that panic, like fear, is contagious. In an instant, the Communist Labor Army, which was still struggling, became chaotic one after another.

Seeing this, the Xiao Jiajun and the Jiuyou Army seized this opportunity to start a counterattack, and with half a cup of tea, they slaughtered all the enemy troops who had attacked the city, and they were also burned by all the ladders set up at the head of the city.

Not only that, but they also brought three strange weapons from the city, one was a rolled up quilt, which was wrapped in two or three layers of straw mats, and between the straw mats and quilts, countless * and small pieces of broken porcelain were stuffed, and then tied with hemp rope and tied tightly, poured fierce fire oil on the outside, lit it and threw it to the root of the city wall.

The power should not be underestimated, and the entire quilt that had just fallen to the ground turned into a wall of fire about half a foot high, rising from the ground, bursting out countless sparks, and by the way, killing the enemy army under the root of the wall, burning the crying father and calling mother.

The other weapon is equipped with 32 twisted rockets, and once fired, it is a swarm of 32 arrows.

There were also wheelbarrows with six rectangular boxes, arranged in two rows, like six large honeycombs, filled with arrowheads, carrying a total of 160 rockets.

This peculiarly shaped little wheelbarrow, called the Chariot of Fire, although it looks simple and crude, as if it is not very powerful, it tells the ghosts with facts not to judge people and things by appearance. The fire chariot, which is light and flexible, and is easy to use and transfer, is exactly the killer weapon that Xiao Shizhu prepared for the defenders of this place.

However, each fire chariot was controlled by three Xiao Jiajun and fought in coordination; one of them was responsible for aiming and commanding, and was also in charge of the cart, while the other two were responsible for loading ammunition and ignition.

For a while, there were dense rockets like locusts on the wall, piercing the sky and roaring towards the enemy army under the city, forming a rain of arrows in the sky above the Communist Labor Army.

Those Communist workers looked at the arrows falling overhead, like a storm and a half, and they were stunned for a moment, and suddenly trembled in fear.

The whistling rain of arrows fell to the ground in an instant, opening countless holes in the bodies of the Communists who were still standing densely in the wilderness, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide, and a blur of flesh and blood also ignited their robes and flesh.

Even more than a dozen war elephants were shot on the spot, and when they fell to the ground screaming, they were crushed to death and injured several Communist workers.

In the wilderness, a terrifying scene of Shura Field appeared in an instant, and the terrible screams became louder and louder, reaching up to the sky and resounding through the heavens.

The Communist Labor Army who fell to the ground and died, staring at the eyes full of despair, their bodies slowly turned into blood-colored dust and floated in the air, converging into a blood-red mist, which spread around Tiantong City.

All that was left was a pair of tattered armor, lying in the fields outside the city. In the panic and noisy battlefield, they quietly speak of the bravery and loyalty of their masters.

Xiao Jiajun was able to knock down more than a dozen enemy soldiers with a single cannon, and the fierceness of the rain of arrows fell on the floating eye in the distance to the west of the city, and he trembled with anger.

Before meeting Xiao Shizhu and the other party's Xiao Jiajun, although Fuyou was not a Yum general, he had never suffered such a big loss.

The reason for this is that his soldiers are not weak and are extremely good at water warfare, second, he is also good at fighting, and third, most of the weapons used in the war between the countries of the underworld are cold weapons.

But the Xiao family army is different, they are not only well-trained, but also well-equipped, almost every man has a gun.

So since Float met Xiao Shizhu, he has almost always been defeated. At this time, he thought that under his careful planning, he would be able to win, but he saw that his soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and the attack gradually collapsed, so the floating tour became even more angry.

He raised his eyebrows, and without hesitation, he roared angrily behind him: "Gonggong clan, it's raining!"

After finishing speaking, the blue-skinned Gonggong clan members standing behind him sat cross-legged on the deck, and invariably raised their hands straight to the sky, their palms facing the sky with five fingers open, and their mouths were chanting.

In just a few breaths, Wu Zhiqi, who was commanding the battle on the wall, saw that the sky above his head, which was originally cloudless, suddenly changed. The wind was blowing, and countless dark clouds appeared out of thin air.
