Chapter 151: Burning the City

With the sound of the bow of the Xiao cavalry, countless Viking warriors armed with rockets and Cossack cavalry who were ready to shoot the siege soldiers of Dazhao were killed by arrows, and the Rakshasa soldiers were more passive than during the day due to the lights. In just ten minutes, the Rakshasa soldiers did not dare to raise their heads when they were pressed by the marksmen on the city wall, and no matter how the Rakshasa lower commanders shouted, the soldiers did not have the courage to stick their heads out of the arrow stacks. Because there is only one outcrop, the iron that faces him must be a sharp arrow that even several Xiao cavalry troops have been waiting for for a long time, and in order to hit the morale of the Rakshasa soldiers, after the stalemate appears, as long as the Rakshasa soldiers are found to show their heads, the bow and arrow will definitely shoot their heads, and after the bloody headshot scene appears a few times, no matter how hot-blooded the soldiers are also suppressed the recklessness in their hearts.

After being shot and killed by the Xiao cavalry nearly 10,000 Rakshasa soldiers, Rovitch finally came to his senses after contemplation, looking at the gray city wall again, and the occasional fire that cut down the sky, Rovitch instead comforted himself and calmed down, after the death of hundreds of bed crossbowmen, the bed crossbowmen now dare not show their heads out, they can only bow their heads and silently load the crossbow, and then fire, as for where the crossbow guns shoot, it is not their business.

The city naturally can't let it return to the darkness, so I'm afraid that Da Zhao doesn't need to come up with new tricks Bayan Zhuoer will not be able to defend it, but it is definitely not possible to show his head and be a target for Da Zhao's crazy marksmen, Rovich hurriedly ordered the Viking warriors to hide behind the arrow stacks and play with projectiles, so that those marksmen are helpless, anyway, there is no need for too accurate archery now, and the projectile can also get the effect that Rovitch wants.

The soldiers who saw this siege were still the same number of 50,000 infantry. Rovitch felt a little relieved in his heart, but the archers in the distance didn't really see it very well. The range of the rockets is too close, and the number of bed crossbows is too small. I could only vaguely see the crowded figures, which made Rovich feel uneasy.

Just when Rovitch hesitated, a henchman of Rovich suddenly ran up out of breath below, the servant knight of the Rovich Knight Guard, "Master, there is an urgent military situation!"

A hint of foreboding flashed in Rovich's heart, and he hurriedly urged: "What's wrong, tell me quickly!"

The knight patted his chest vigorously before he regained his breath. "Master, the main canal in Bayanzhuor City is about to dry up!"

"What?!" Rovitch incredulous, "the main canal is connected to the Yellow River, how can it dry up?"

The knight said firmly: "However, now the main canal is really about to dry up, and the water in the river cannot even submerge our calves, and the water level in it is still dropping, I am afraid that the water will disappear completely from the main canal soon!"

Rovitch was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "Block the main trunk canal." What does he want to do at night, will he block the Yellow River and then pour water into the main canal, and then flood Bayan Zhuoer City, but the amount of work is not ordinary. They were cavalry, without decent auxiliaries and logistics, and wanted the Yellow River to break through to this side. It can't be completed in half a month, and they shouldn't have the time to wait. The water attack is not good, the fire attack is not good!" Rovitch suddenly came to his senses. Da Zhao is going to attack with fire!

Huang Jiafu's luck cut through the true qi in his body, and shouted: "Change the rocket!"

At the same time, the herald shot the miserable green rocket invented by Lin Ruofeng into the air, and the 60,000 cavalry of the Xiao cavalry saw Huang Jiafu's order at the same time.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With the order of Huang Jiafu, the second deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Army, countless rockets ignited with black oil flew out of the hands of the Xiao Cavalry soldiers. 60,000 rockets were fired at the same time, and the sky was lit up at once.

Rovich was stunned by this grand scene for a moment, but he was a very calm person after all, and after his thoughts flowed, he began to give several orders.

"Mivov, you hurry to General Modko, the Cossack cavalry, and ask him to quickly transfer half of the cavalry that can be commanded to the center of Bayanzor City, and you must find a way to isolate a section of fire prevention in the center of the city, even if you destroy as many houses and buildings as you do, there is our food and forage in the center of the city, and we must not make mistakes, and besides, transfer the remaining more than 10,000 Cossack cavalry to the open space near the main trunk canal, and be sure to guard the two water gates of the main trunk canal, especially the water gate on the east side, which is especially important, you yourself lead my knightly guards to support the east water gate, and you must ensure that the water gate is foolproof, Яебутвоюмать (TMD in Russian)!!!How can their group of perverted ~ sharpshooters have such a long range, I must be blind!"

At this moment, the rockets fired by the Xiao cavalry successively landed in the city of Bayan Zhuoer, which was more than a thousand meters away from the city wall or even more, and in a "poof" sound, I don't know how many soldiers and a small number of civilians were killed by arrows, and even if they did not die, many people were killed by the fire that began to burn in the rocket.

But more rockets were shot to other corners of the city, rockets were inserted in houses, on the road, on the eaves, in the barracks, everywhere, and Da Zhao, Lin Ruofeng's special black oil was very terrifying, in addition to inserting the general rocket into the grass, or it would definitely be extinguished immediately, but this rocket was very tenacious, even if it was inserted into the cracks of the masonry, the flames were soaring straight out, and the Rakshasa soldiers even had to step on it several times to extinguish the fire carried by the arrow, and soon, the burning rocket began to ignite something that could be burned, wood, animal fur, forage, and bamboo, The fire began to spread at a speed that Rovitch could not imagine, with the continuous shooting of the cavalry outside the city, it quickly became a sea of fire from the city wall to within two kilometers of the city, even in the center of Bayan Zhuor City, the fire began to spread inside, countless soldiers and a small number of civilians in the city were burned to ashes in the struggle in the flames, and the soldiers and civilians who ran fast ran desperately towards the main trunk canal, they were very strange, why did Rovich not organize troops to fight the fire and extinguish the fire now.

When they came to the main trunk canal where the water used to flow, they realized that Rovitch did not want to put out the fire, but that he could not save it at all, and then the clever soldiers found two safe places, the center of Bayandor and the city wall, one of which would never catch fire, and the other would never let him catch fire.

Got that the fire in the center of the inner city has been controlled, Rovitch breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, seventy or eighty thousand Rakshasa Viking warriors and some militia and a small number of civilians have already been squeezed out of the city wall, and more than 10,000 cavalry who are fighting the fire in the center of the city and most of the Rakshasa civilians and merchants who come and go in Bayan Zhuor City, as well as thousands of fleeing soldiers, looking at this chaotic Bayan Zhuor City, Rovic, who was still in high spirits an hour ago, suddenly felt that his life was a little gray, just now a fire actually caused him to lose more than 20,000 Viking warriors, more than the soldiers who died in two formal siege battles, and now the morale of the Rakshasa soldiers has almost been beaten to the lowest pointThe chaotic situation has made ordinary soldiers lose the confidence to hold on.

But Rovich believes that he still has a chance, as long as he can hold down the position, with this there are still 100,000 elite soldiers, he still has a chance to turn the tables, Da Zhao does not have decent siege equipment to attack the more than 10-meter-high city wall is not so easy, now the focus is still on the water gate, wrong, the focus is still to reinvigorate morale.

At the same time that the Xiao cavalry rockets shot into Bayan Zhuoer City, more than 3,000 Praetorian Guards jumped under the command of Lin Ruofeng into the main trunk canal that still had some puddles, and the average width of the main trunk canal was about 300 meters, even if 3,000 Praetorian Guards jumped into it, it would not be too crowded.

Due to the cover of the river, the arrows were very useless here, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers with huge infantry shields quickly rushed to the side of the water gate, which was not as strong as the city gate, but was framed with dense barbed wire and thick iron rods, even so, this water gate was still a problem for the Janissaries who were difficult to use, and the Rakshasa soldiers on the city wall had already found them under the reminder of Rovich, and countless rolling wooden boulders kept falling from it, and they could only risk their lives to clear the barbed wire outside little by little, as for the thick iron prison behindLet's wait until the barbed wire fence and the stones and wood thrown down from the river are almost cleared first.

Ten minutes later, Rovich's expected East Water Gate really moved, and it was quite dangerous, Rovitch soon knew that the East Water Gate was actually Ye Ling Yan personally led the elite of the Praetorian Guard to attack, Rovitch did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked his deputy to watch the city wall and the West Water Gate, and he rushed to the East Water Gate with a 300 silver holy sword regiment composed of fourth-order (equivalent to a third-rate master) silver swordsman, although there were his 200 fourth-order peak family knights, his knight guards, but he still had no bottom in his heart, Ye Lingyan was the first person among the sixth-order masters, even the three ordinary sixth-order masters may not be able to beat him, Bayan Zhuo City is a sixth-order master, and he must go there in person to block Ye Lingyan's strong attack.

"Bang!" Just as Rovitch was running, Ye Lingyan's momentum reached its peak, and a flash of lightning flashed in the cloudless sky, slashing straight at the knife in Ye Lingyan's hand, and the electric snake seemed to be wound around his golden knife as if it was in place, and the soldiers on both sides were stunned by this scene, and they all put down the attack in their hands.
