Chapter 974: Incendiary bombs show their might

For this matter, Su Shi also sent a telegram to Lu Siqiao, which probably means that the power of the incendiary bomb is very powerful, and it is better not to use it unless it is a last resort.

Unexpectedly, just after the battle, Tieshan proposed to use incendiary bombs.

"This... What if the bombardment continues?" After thinking about it, Lu Siqiao didn't make a decision right away, but asked such a question.

"This... The dragon cannon can only destroy ordinary buildings, and these protruding battlements have obviously been specially reinforced, so I am afraid that the effect of the bombardment will not be very good." Tie Shan thought for a few breaths and replied like this.

Lu Siqiao did not speak immediately after hearing this, but fell into deep thought. She wondered what decision Su Shi would make if she was here.

Presumably, with his idea of caring for the Han people, he would not use a more powerful incendiary bomb when he came up.

Just as Lu Siqiao hesitated, the remaining more than 500 alien dragon army cavalry were also shot in the moat.

It's really that they rushed too fast before, and under the addition of Wang Xin's death order, not remembering the consumption of arrows, among the random arrows, even if they are powerful people, in such an environment, they will die for a lifetime.

The three thousand charging dragoons were thus annihilated in the moat.

Seeing that no one came back, even if these people were not Han nationals, but they were also part of the Dragon Army, this loss made a group of senior generals, including Lu Siqiao, distressed.

On the top of the city tower, Wang Xin saw everything in his eyes. Seeing that all the dragon cavalry who rushed were all left behind, he couldn't help but laugh happily.

In the first engagement, they only lost a few dozen observers, but the dragon army lost 3,000 cavalry, which was too good a deal.

Wang Xin was very happy, and Li Kesheng, who was with him, was also very excited. Originally, I thought that the problem of the moat would make it very difficult to defend the city. But now, he has won his first victory, which makes him very happy.

In addition to being happy, he couldn't help but shout loudly, "Did you see it? The dragon army is not as good as Er'er, or our Song army is more powerful, the Song army is invincible, and the Song army is victorious!"

"The Song army is invincible, and the Song army is victorious!"

With Li Kesheng taking the lead, many soldiers soon followed and chanted.

Wang Xin heard it, but did not stop it. Before the war, there were many soldiers who were very afraid of the dragon artillery of the dragon army. Now that the battle has been won, it is natural to publicize it, even if it can improve the morale of the army.

Tens of thousands of people on the city tower shouted, and the sound instantly spread far away, and naturally reached the ears of Lu Siqiao, who was not far from the city.

Since the establishment of the Dragon Army, it has not tasted a single defeat?

There is nothing like today, when 3,000 cavalry rushed out, but the whole army was wiped out without even killing a single enemy.

But now, this example has been broken by itself.

Now I heard Song Jun shouting again, Song Jun was invincible, Song Jun was victorious, and her face instantly became serious at this moment. "Commander Iron Mountain, go tell the artillery unit to prepare for the second bombardment, and then tell the drone brigade to attack, drop, fire, burn, and bomb."

The last sentence almost popped out of Lu Siqiao's teeth one by one. It can be seen that this meeting is that she is really angry.

When a woman gets angry, it's a lot of trouble. Commander Tieshan, who was named by name, immediately agreed, and then turned around and rode to deliver the order in person.

On the tower of Zhending City, after the shouting lasted for a while, Wang Xin ordered everyone to enter the battlements, and there were still dozens of observers left, and he wanted to continue to follow the same example, wanting to see how the dragon army would respond.

The sound of the cannon sounded quickly, and in the battlements, when Wang Xin heard this sound, he was no longer as panicked as he was just now. On the contrary, the whole expression was extremely relaxed.

It is said that dragon bullets are powerful, but so what? Isn't there nothing they can do with them?

And as long as the dragon bullet can't show its might

, Wang Xin has incomparable confidence that he can defend Zhending City, and even severely damage the Dragon Army.

As long as he can inflict heavy damage on the opponent, he wants to see what the Long Army will take to the south, at that time, it is time to force the Long Army to stop fighting and have to negotiate peace.

At this meeting, not only Wang Xin, but also everyone else also looked relaxed. After their first victory, they drifted a little and no longer put the so-called dragon bullet in their eyes.

Even in some of the battlements, the soldiers were still talking and laughing, as if they had won the victory and defeated the dragon army.

It's just that this laughter didn't last long, and soon a scorching sensation began to come, making the Zhao Song soldiers hiding in the battlements feel stuffy.

"What's going on? How can it feel so hot and stuffy?" Wang Xin was wearing a general's armor, and soon felt that his whole body began to heat up, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

It's the autumn season of October.

In the north, it is starting to snow in some places. The Central Plains is better, but the weather is supposed to be cooler. Even if the sun shines a little hot at noon, it will never be so hot.

"Fire! Fire!"

Just when Wang Xin was still full of doubts, suddenly someone in the battlements pointed outside and shouted.

Everyone looked out in the direction of their fingers, and sure enough, they saw the light of a raging fire.

"Where did such fire come from?" Seeing that there was a firelight, Wang Xin was a question mark.

The castle towers were all made of stones, and although there were some sleepers and fire oil, even if they were burned, they would not produce such a fierce fire.

It's like when the first round of bombardment just now, there were no such fires, but now they are happening, why is that?

"You, go out and have a look." Wang's doubts grew more and more in confidence, and he couldn't help but point to a general behind him.

The sound of artillery outside continues, and it will definitely be very dangerous to go out now. But this order was given by the king, and the general couldn't refuse it if he wanted to, so he had to agree to it, and then rushed out of the battlements quickly.

Go out fast and come back faster. The general was lucky that he was not injured by the dragon cannon, but when he came back, his face was very ugly. "General, there is a fire outside, and it is burning more and more, and some thick smoke is produced, if it can't be extinguished in time, I'm afraid that after a long time, it will be suffocated to death."

"Is there such a fire?" When he learned that the flames were not just burning in one place, but on a large scale, Wang Xin's heart began to sink downward.

Although he didn't know why this was happening, what he did know was that if he didn't put out the fire, they would all be suffocated here.

"Go, go out to put out the fire, go and inform the officers and soldiers in the other battlements to come out and put out the fire, quickly." Wang Xin, in line with the idea of choosing the lesser of two evils, gave an order to the generals.

Even if a dragon bullet falls, it is dangerous to go out, but this fire must be saved, otherwise once a large amount of smoke is generated, everyone will die here.

The only way to extinguish the fire quickly can you safely hide in the battlements.

The general gave an order, whether they wanted it or not, everyone could only rush out, and then passed the orders one by one, informing the Song troops in the other battlements to come out and put out the fire.

Among the battlements, many people rushed out because of this, all of them with a look of reluctance, and then tried to put out the fire.

On the top of the castle tower, there were not so many water sources prepared, and in order to put out the fire, many people took off their battle clothes and began to fight continuously. But for some reason, these fires did not go out as soon as they were normal, but on the contrary, they burned more and more, and if the clothes were contaminated with them, they would soon burst into flames.

Boom boom...

Overhead, there were also a continuous stream of dragon bullets falling, falling into the crowd, bringing a lot of damage.

The fire is still getting bigger and bigger, and it doesn't mean to weaken in the slightest because everyone is risking to put out the fire.

All this fell in Wang Xin's eyes, which made him feel anxious. "Come, inform the reserves under the city, and let them go up to the city and participate in the firefighting. Hurry."

Seeing that the number of soldiers defending the city was in the midst of a sharp decrease, Wang Xin had no choice but to send the first reserve team that had been prepared.

In order to achieve the goal of defending the city for a long time, Wang Xin did not arrange too many soldiers on top of the city tower, but guarded them in batches, in order to defend the enemy for a longer time. It's just that now, seeing that the fire has no intention of abating, he has to send some of these backhands in advance.

Under the tower, because of a great victory, it was when the morale of the army was high, and when they learned that a reserve was going to be sent up, these people did not think about it. One by one, they thought that the opportunity for meritorious service had come, and they rushed to the castle tower happily. Then, the scene in front of them frightened them, and also let these people know that climbing the city tower was not a meritorious service, but to send them to death.

The fire on the castle tower was still burning violently, and although it was not very clear from the bottom of the castle, it was still faintly visible what had happened.

Especially the heart-rending cry for help, needless to say, it must have been the sound that came from the flames.

Tie Shan had already rushed back after passing the order, and when he heard these voices, his face became extremely solemn. In fact, it was not only him, Wang Manlou on the side, his face was not very good-looking at this time. Lu Siqiao is not to mention, she is also a woman, and her ability to bear it in this regard is far inferior to that of men.

It's just that everyone felt a little unbearable, but no one proposed to stop. Because they know that the enemy's fighting spirit is still there, and if they stop shelling and follow them to charge, they will be the ones who will die.
