Chapter 093: The Price of Growth
"Rubbing ......" jumped a few steps in one step, but the man was not satisfied, and his movements suddenly became more rapid and he took a few big strides, and in the blink of an eye, he had climbed nearly half the height.
"Okay." Some of the stunned people couldn't help but shout.
"Fool, pour the oil." Even if Lu Bu hadn't scolded for a long time, he couldn't help but say a rough word at this time, and he was suddenly a little speechless to these allied soldiers under the city wall.
"No." After experiencing a rain of arrows, the soldiers became more calm, at this time the enemy's arrows still did not stop, after General Lu Bu issued the order, there were still nearly a thousand people raised their shields to shield the arrow rain for the compatriots around them, with the cooperation of the soldiers, the hot oil was quickly poured down, and the sound continued to sound.
If the rain of arrows is like a "rain", then the pouring of fire oil is a waterfall, a waterfall hundreds of meters wide.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
The skin is open, and the soldiers who rush to the front, whether they are climbing on the ladder or piled up under the city wall, are all drenched thoroughly, the oil is not as good as the arrows, although the condition under the rain of arrows is terrible and miserable, but the person will die quickly after all, and the fire oil is doused in it, the terrible burns are not enough to kill people in a short time, they can only scream and wail in despair, and struggle not to die.
Just as Lu Bu said with contempt, the fastest soldier was directly doused with fire oil on the ladder, and after only having time to roar, he couldn't catch the ladder anymore, slammed it to the ground from above, and then died directly. As for the soldiers who were in a daze under the city wall, the ending was not good, when the fire oil attacked, because their eyes were fixed on the soldier, they didn't even have a chance to react, and they were drenched all over their bodies.
The smell of meat is faintly disgusting, but it can't be stopped floating to the city, looking at the tragedy concocted by their own hands, many people suddenly couldn't bear it, bent down and retched heavily, and then were pierced by the arrows that were still pouring down, and never stood up again.
This is the battlefield, you can't hesitate, this is the battlefield, you can't be merciful, cruel, bloody, cruel.
Looking at everything in the city with cold eyes, Lu Bu didn't plan to say anything at all, when a soldier fights, any emotion is superfluous, if he can't control his heart well, even if such a person doesn't die here, one day he will throw his life on an unknown battlefield, survival of the fittest, in such an era of cold weapons, there is no sentence that can be more appropriately described than this, he Lu Bu, isn't it just from the sea of corpses and blood that rolled out?
"Roll the wood and roll the stones, smash." Lu Bu's voice was cold and ruthless, and he was not moved by the death of the soldiers at the head of the city at all, but ordered again.
"Bang...... ......"Some of the rolling stones are larger, and it takes three or five people to hold them, and they fall down with a hard push along the Ru wall that has been prepared at the head of the city, and the enemy under the city only comes to look up, and they don't even have time to condense the color of fear on their faces, and they are smashed into flesh in a loud sound that shakes the sky.
Under the city walls, as Dong Zhuo's army counterattacked at the head of the city, the losses of the Allied soldiers also began to rise, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand...... Countless people fell forever under the city, at this time, even if every second passed was torment, the city was only three zhang high from the city, and at this time it became an eternal swan song, mercilessly devouring one life after another.
A little farther away, the allied archers are still screaming angrily, the war has only just begun, but the two sides have been full of fire, more than 30,000 archers have fallen nearly a third of the way one after another, even if there is a reserve replenishment, after the initial madness, the arrows are slowly thinning out after all.
"Smash you bastard...... Uh......" At the head of the city, a soldier lifted a waist-thick log with both hands, and stood tall, looking at the city with a hint of madness, but just as he was about to throw the log with both hands, two arrows flew at the same time almost in order, and slammed into his face and chest.
The rain of arrows is sparse, but still kills, such a situation is not uncommon in the city, after all, these people are just some newcomers, they don't know how to protect themselves on the battlefield, only occasionally in the interval, there are old pawns shouting, some life-saving skills are spread, but the time is too short, the number of people is too small, after all, it can't be done.
"The archers continue to suppress, Xue Lan, you lead people to throw torches under the city to delay the enemy's attack." Dong Zhuo was a little unbearable, although the original Dong Zhuo was bloodthirsty and tyrannical in his bones, but he was no longer the original one after all, in his opinion, growth is a slow process, even any growth has a price, and now, the price they paid is a little too huge, and it is not worth it.
Xue Lan, who was originally a general under Lu Bu's account, was left by Dong Zhuo after Lu Bu defected to Dong Zhuo, this person said that he was a general, but in fact, his martial arts were average, equivalent to a hundred generals, and he was a small colonel in Dong Zhuo's personal guard, but it was for him to mix with the wind and water.
"No." Xue Lan responded, turned around and shouted to his subordinates, and rushed out with a giant shield on his shoulder. The guards around Dong Zhuo were basically the elite of the elite, and more than 100 people were not slow, their bodies arched, and they relied on the giant shield to cover themselves as much as possible, and rushed out after Xue Lan.
"Boom, ......boom, boom" Soon, there was a rumbling sound under the city wall, the raging black smoke rose up, and the miserable howl mixed with the flames suddenly became bigger, Dong Zhuo saw this and felt very relieved, he knew very well that this fire was burning, at least for a period of time, the city would no longer have to worry about the enemy's attack for the time being.
The "huhuhu......" and "vomit ......" flames soared into the sky, completely blocking the enemy's offensive path, and the black smoke in the sky quickly submerged the city wall, and the archers who had no clear target suddenly pulled the bows and arrows in their hands more slowly. The sufficient amount of fire oil poured earlier, coupled with the thousands of corpses that were thrown under the city, the raging fire was burning, and it was not possible to extinguish it in a short time, many of the soldiers in Dong Zhuo's army understood this truth, and under the relaxation of spirit, many people immediately fell to the ground and retched loudly.
