Chapter 143: Daytime Fireworks

Seeing the red flag falling in Liu Jiangsheng's hand, three hundred specially selected sturdy sergeants invariably raised their sledgehammers and smashed them hard at the wooden shaft.

"Bang!" With a sound on the ground, as the ground shook slightly, deafening tremors sounded everywhere, the trebuchet threw its arms like a giant dragon that suddenly soared into the air, stiffened and stood still, and at the same time, the three hundred hundred-pound fireballs in the basket roared and flew over like meteors falling from the sky, looking at it, as if the entire cloud layer above had been shattered, a daytime fireworks that covered the sky and the sun were staged.

"Skyfire! That's Skyfire!

What the hell is a trebuchet?! Tian Hongbin was shocked, trembling and staring at this series of flaming boulders perfectly in an arc in the air, "Boom! With a thud, the ground slammed down on the walls of various places.

In an instant, these heavy fireballs that came at high speed actually smashed the Xizhou city wall to pieces, and the terrifying sound of "Kacha Kacha" sounded around it, and there were signs of collapse.

There were even more flames that went straight over the city wall, hitting the tall city tower in the rear, the fireball burst on the roof, and the gravel that jumped with the flames began to splash in all directions, except for the roof built by the forest trees was instantly ignited, and the gravel that fell on the ground was soaked in fire oil, and the flesh of dozens of unlucky barbarians spread rapidly, and in a shocking scream, the nearby Zhangyu city wall was cast into a live roasted hell.

The barbarians who had lived in the mountains and revered the gods for a long time had already been shocked to the point of shattering, but did not flee in panic, but seemed to have fallen into a nightmare, most of them were instantly stunned and couldn't even move their feet, their ears shrank and trembled under the city wall, and the Tang army under the city showed no mercy, the second round of fireball attacks hit at high speed again, and like a rain of fire falling from the sky, with the hatred of annihilating everything poured out fiercely on the gradually fragile Xizhou City.

This time it was a concentrated attack, most of the fireballs fell on the city tower accurately, the billowing smoke actually covered the fire that rose to the sky, jumped higher and farther, and there was a "boom" in the large gray haze, this has stood for fifty years, and the south city tower engraved with the merits of the Peng family can no longer support the flames to erode wildly, and it collapsed in an instant.

The surrounding barbarians finally couldn't hold back, how could they still have a trace of fighting spirit, they all hugged their heads and looked frightened, screaming and rushing to the stone steps of the city first, falling into chaos. The brutes pushed and cursed at each other, and a pair of bare feet, which had already been burned red, stomped madly on their companions desperately, just for a chance to survive.

As the coach, Tian Hongbin, who should have stopped loudly, fell into a daze, half-opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while, letting the sergeant behind him be in a commotion, but he was stunned to look at the surrounding sea of fire, and there were already blood marks on his body that had been broken out of rubble.

Especially the armor on his back has already burned half of it, revealing dark and slightly charred muscles, if it weren't for Gong Langzhi to extinguish it in time, I am afraid that the deputy governor of Xizhou, who has been in office for less than a day, will melt straight.

Seeing Tian Hongbin's empty eyes, Gong Langzhi understood in his heart the shock of this terrifying scene to the young governor, but at the moment of life and death, he could not allow half a moment of hesitation, and after shaking Tian Hongbin frantically several times without seeing a reaction, he mustered up the courage to set up a desperate commander, and under the escort of the guards, he retreated to the edge of the inner city wall, and shouted anxiously: "Sons! Don't panic! Don't panic! How can my Xizhou City be strong, the Tang army did not dare to attack the city with manpower before using this poisonous plan! There will always be a moment when the boulder will run out, let's wait for this fire to be burned! The city wall of Xizhou has only dropped a few bricks and stones, so there is nothing to be afraid of! ”

Tian Hongbin suddenly woke up, broke free with all his might, shook his head like waking up from a dream, and shouted: "Gong Duzhi said very much!" The Tang army can't break through the city wall again! The herald ordered the whole army not to panic, to retreat to the inner side of the city wall to take refuge, to be sure to hold the city, and those who retreat will be killed immediately! ”

Before the words fell, the trebuchet under the city began to launch the third round, and the nightmare reappeared, the same three hundred burning boulders burst and burned on the already smoke-billowing city wall, and the wound was sprinkled with salt again, this time finally breaking through several city wall battlements, and even turning the southern city wall into a piece of ground full of holes, close to the Tang army, within fifty paces of the side, completely burned into a monstrous sea of fire that could not be entered.

In front of the Wuping army, Liu Jiangsheng changed his hand to a black flag raised high, and his eyes roared fiercely: "Increase the size, change the stone!" ”

"Yes!"

Thanks to the pre-drill, the sergeants immediately replaced the 120-pound boulder that had already burned hot in the fire in the throwing basket of the trebuchet, and launched in unison with a "boom", these even more huge and terrifying fireballs were immediately thrown into the sky high and far, and then landed at a distance of 450 steps away from the visual inspection, which was no different from the data provided by the Langzhou Armament Supervisor, this time the meteor flew high over the city wall and fell into the block in Xizhou City!

The Chinese army, Li Yuan, Peng Shiyu and the generals stood on horseback, looking at the head of Xizhou City in the distance with thick smoke and flames, most of the people's faces were no better than the barbarians, where they had seen such a tragic attack scene, all of them were swaying and exclaiming.

When he saw the Nancheng Tower, which was full of the glory of the Peng family in the past, collapsed, Peng Shiyu, who was already trembling, secretly felt heartache, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Dashuai, isn't your trebuchet a gift from a ghost god?" How can it be so powerful? Boulders and sea of fire, if you continue to fight like this, not to mention Tian Hongyou, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians in the city will have nowhere to stay......"

Li Yuan lightly glanced at Peng Shiyu, who lowered his head and sank his face, and replied in a surging voice: "This is their own way to die!" Tian Hongyou poisoned my 8,000 soldiers before, and even Ben Shuai's sworn brothers almost died, how can the blood feud not be revenged, even if Ben Shuai slaughters the whole city, it is not too much!

But you have just seen the history of Peng Ting, but Ben Shuai still has a benevolent heart, just because he has been in Xizhou for many years, and he is unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately, so he ordered people to persuade him to surrender many times, but these barbarians do not know whether they are dead or alive, and would rather be buried for the Tian family! In that case, don't blame Ben Shuai's subordinates for being ruthless! ”

Seeing Peng Shiyu's eyes flickering and clenching his teeth, Li Yuan comforted him: "Peng Tingshi, such a fire is ignited, and it is difficult to contain manpower, but it is not so much that the whole city will be destroyed, after all, this Xizhou City still has to be returned to you......"

Without waiting for Peng Shiyu to reply, Xu Kuangheng preemptively replied: "Why should you think too much!" Don't you know that Ci is not in charge of the army? The two armies fought by their own means, and the casualties were really normal! Even if the whole city was destroyed and the people were suffering, it was also caused by Tian Hongyou, the old thief!

As for Peng Tingshi, I dare to remind you that this time my handsome man is strong against public opinion, and personally led the army into the danger to avenge you, which shows that I have a strong friendship with you! It shows that the handsome man is trustworthy and righteous! Previously, you promised that after the pacification of the three states, you would change the flag and belong to my Wuping, and I hope you can also be trustworthy and righteous! ”

Li Yuan pretended not to hear, but smiled meaningfully, looking at the fierce battle in the distance. And Peng Shiyu took a deep breath, and did not dare to refute it, he lowered his head on the horse and claimed that it was, and then sank his face and kept silent, and his dry lips were quickly bitten out of Yin Yin'.....s bloodstains.
