305 Burning Xianyang

Under the Hou flag, which was missing a corner, Xiong Wuliang frowned and looked in the direction of Xianyang.

The tidal wave of shouts of 'Old Qin ......' came, followed by large cheers one after another.

Among them, there are some curses against 'Chu Man', and the viciousness of its words makes the elite sergeants around Xiong Wuliang so angry that their faces are red and their necks are thick.

Xiao Hei couldn't help it, his little face turned red with anger, and he reminded in a low voice: "Junhou, the Qin people don't want to surrender!" ”

Xiong Wuliang nodded-labor and management are not deaf.

Since the Qin people insisted on refusing to surrender...... Then don't blame me for being ruthless.

In addition to Qin pawns, there must be many civilians of the Qin State in this Xianyang City...... If it weren't for the last resort, Xiong Wuliang didn't want to smash the 'heavenly fire' on the heads of those civilians.

But there is no way - the Qin people choose to resist stubbornly, so it is better to sacrifice the women and children of the Qin people than to sacrifice the elite soldiers under the command of Xiong Wuliang.

It is said that the Qin people stayed in Xianyang City and refused to fight...... This was obviously the most stable strategy that the commander of the Qin army on the opposite side could think of.

But as everyone knows, this is more in line with Xiong Wuliang's mind!

If 10,000 Qin soldiers rushed out and fought with 7,000 Quyang New Army...... Even if the new army can win, it will inevitably be a bloody battle that will shake the world and cry ghosts...... Since the Qin people don't come out, then labor and management can let it go!

……

Wei Ran listened to the whistling sound of the whole city and was very satisfied—those curses against 'Chu Man' made him slightly uncomfortable, but he knew that these scoldings were not aimed at him, the prime minister, so he was not very angry.

The generals of the Qin army were also overjoyed, and they all said to Wei Ran: "Prime Minister, my old Qin's morale is available!" ”

"Outside Xianyang City, it will definitely be the burial place of the Marquis of Quyang of Chu State!"

"Xiong Wuliang will be defeated by the prime minister!"

"The prime minister will break the Chu army and will surely become famous among the nations...... It's really both civil and military! ”

Wei Ran stroked his beard and smiled, half-squinted his eyes in the direction of the Chu army's position, and folded his arms in a good time.

The position of the Chu army outside the city was silent for a moment, and then there was a long voice of persuasion to surrender: "Listen to the Qin people - this is the last warning, if you don't surrender again, our army will burn Xianyang!" ”

This time, before Wei Ran could speak, the soldiers and civilians of the Qin State all over the city had already shouted in unison: "Old Qin!" Let's go to the national disaster together! War! War! War! ”

On the lookout, Wei Ran and the generals looked at each other and smiled.

This Xiong Wuliang is really interesting - he thinks he is scaring children? Are we old Qin people frightened?

Xianyang was not originally designed as a military fortress - however, although it was not sheltered by walls, it was also a huge city with a huge area.

Do you want to burn Xianyang? How much firewood do you have to prepare? How to stuff a large amount of firewood into the large and small lanes of Xianyang?

Amusing!

The generals laughed: "Don't blame the prime minister-if the Chu army attacks, we will have to harvest our own heads!" You can't be on this high platform. ”

Wei Ran also smiled, stroked his beard and said smugly: "Okay! Let's talk to you first-don't take prisoners...... Whoever can cut off the head of Mi Liang Xiao'er, the prime minister will definitely ask the Queen Mother and King Qin for him! ”

The generals were overjoyed and geared up - their status was not high, of course they didn't know that what Empress Dowager Xuan was thinking about was not the dead noon, but the living noon...... Since Wei Ran has a life, then it is convenient to behead the head of the enemy chieftain, and there will be a big reward!

Now everything is ready, I just hope that Xiong Wuliang, who is looking for death, can launch an attack as soon as possible!

What catapults, just beckon! What kind of fire burns Xianyang, you hurry up!

Don't delay it for too long - six or seven thousand heads are not much, don't wait for reinforcements from all over the country to come over, then the already scarce number of heads will have to be divided among them.

……

Under the Hou banner, Shaohu gave up his hand and asked: "Lord, please give an order!" ”

Xiong Wuliang bowed his head lightly: "Catapult launch - don't throw too much, throw fifty cans first, let the Qin people see how powerful." ”

"Obey the general's orders!" Shaohu's spirits were greatly lifted, and he waved his hand: "The lord has a life - fifty rounds, shoot!" ”

Fifty terracotta jars of various sizes were screwed tight, and a piece of burnt rag was tied to the mouth of the jar.

The sergeant operating the catapult waved his palm, and fifty cans of fire oil flew out in the air, drawing an arc in the sky and smashing in the direction of Xianyang City.

Xiong Wuliang didn't give the order to bombard indiscriminately - it wasn't that he was kind-hearted, but that there were not many clay pots and he couldn't help but squander them.

It must be known that the surprise attack of the 8,000 soldiers on Wuguan was lightly armed, and they carried almost nothing except the necessary weapons and a small amount of grain and grass. The existing fire oil was seized from the treasury of Wuguan, and the terracotta jars were also looted from villages, towns, and farmhouses by the Chu army along the way.

Compared to the original fire of Song Guofu and the back of the industrial park, there is enough confidence to bomb indiscriminately.

Now it's just a matter of budgeting.

The 200 catapults are not the kind of standardized equipment produced in the industrial park, but the simple catapults that the soldiers have built improvised in recent days - although the advanced counterweight power is used, the accuracy is still too far from the catapults produced in the industrial park.

In addition, the looted clay pots also vary in size - many are even square, twisting and tumbling in the air.

The accuracy is impressive!

Fortunately, the urban area of Xianyang is large enough - even if the accuracy of the fired oil tank thrown out is really stretched, it can easily be smashed into the urban area!

……

Wei Ran stood on the lookout and couldn't help frowning when he saw the launch of the catapult of the Chu army!

But only two seconds later, Wei Ran laughed out loud again!

Amused to death.

This catapult of the Chu army, the things thrown out are simply ridiculously crooked!

scattered in all directions, and it was not even clear where the army was aiming at it!

The generals of the Qin army also laughed, and the air of joy filled the lookout—

"Just with this rotten catapult, you want my Qin army to disarm and surrender?"

"Stupid! Chu Mante is stupid! ”

The black object that smashed closest was hundreds of steps away from the lookout where Wei Ran was. Wei Ran just breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was shocked!

Scald!

The terracotta shattered, and a black viscous liquid splashed out!

It was ignited by the strip of cloth tied to the mouth of the can!

The fire 'whew' and burned!

Hold the grass!

Xiong Wuliang, what kind of trick are you?

In Xianyang City, fifty fires broke out!

The oil burned violently, setting fire to a large number of Qin houses—the houses in Xianyang City were mostly made of wood, and the weather was dry in winter, and these houses became excellent fire starters.

Wei Ran stood on the lookout, in a cold sweat - he had also heard of the viciousness of the oil oil.

Until the oil is burned out, any firefighting is in vain!

There were Qin people in the city who were contaminated with fire oil, wailing, struggling, and letting out a terrible roar...... When the ignorant low-level Qin Min saw that his house was on fire, he hurriedly splashed water on the flames...... As a result, there was a whoop, and the flames burned even more!

Just fifty cans of fire oil have already caused considerable chaos in the huge Xianyang City!
