Chapter 237: The Work of Oil
At the beginning, Zhennanguan won a great victory and recovered the lost territory, Li Changfeng ordered people to go to Baishi City to mobilize supplies.
He specially explained that he had brought a large amount of fire oil, and he was waiting for today.
After the oil arrived in Dingyang City, it was kept secret all along.
The outermost ditch was prepared for the pouring of fire oil.
No one could be sure that there were no barbarians in his army of nearly 200,000 people, so he didn't tell anyone about this plan.
It wasn't until all the traps were completed and the news that the barbarian army had arrived that he had poured out the oil.
Seeing the wall of fire that almost illuminated the entire night sky, Nangong Changming suddenly understood the meaning of "catching turtles in the urn" in Li Changfeng's mouth before.
Fire oil, the army is not without it.
But Nangong Changming had really never seen such a fierce burning oil, and the flames of light flashed on his face, revealing his shocked expression.
This...... It's another secret weapon of His Highness, right?
The densely packed defenders on the city wall were almost like this at this time, and they were shocked by Li Changfeng again.
At this time, Li Changfeng was calmly giving orders.
"Artillery battalion, attack! Your target is not a beast, it's a barbarian army! ”
"Musket battalion, throw grenades with all your might, and don't let any of the beasts climb the walls!"
"Soldiers with muskets are maneuvering, and if there is an evil beast on the wall, kill them with muskets, not with grenades!"
"Zhao Yong, the buried explosive packages are detonated in batches, where are the evil beasts and Nanban soldiers detonated first!"
"The defenders on the city walls are ready, remember to aim at the vital point like the eyes of the evil beasts, it is useless to shoot their bodies!"
As one order after another was issued, the army of the entire Dingyang City acted efficiently, and the encirclement was like a meat grinder, and when the thunder exploded and the flames soared into the sky, there were barbarian soldiers and evil beasts who died.
All the beasts are already encircled.
As for the barbarian army, it was divided into two by the wall of fire.
One within the wall of fire, numbering about sixty thousand.
They knew that they were encircled, under the bombardment of explosives bags and artillery, they were in a panic and were already in a mess.
There was also a wall of fire, numbering about 100,000.
Battle was furious.
"Damn the big man, it's too cunning!"
In addition to anger, there is more panic.
Now, he has no way to retreat, so he roared to the soldiers: "There is no way to retreat now, only by taking Dingyang City can we have a chance to live, and the soldiers will rush with me!" ”
Battle took the lead and slew the walls.
I have to say that his strategy of putting his death to life is still very effective.
The barbarian soldiers in the encirclement fell into a complete madness in order to have a chance to survive, waving their blades and roaring towards the city walls.
The barbarian soldiers outside the encirclement frantically filled the trenches with earth, in a vain attempt to extinguish the fire and follow the large army to kill them.
But the oil was burning brightly, and it would be difficult to extinguish it for a while, and they could only watch the soldiers in the encirclement go desperately.
Li Changfeng stared at the battlefield tightly.
Dingyang City was due to the long defense line of the city wall, and the number of evil beasts that came this time was more and stronger, so the accident still appeared.
An evil beast trampled on the corpse of the evil beast that had been killed by the soldiers of the musket battalion in front of it, and even let it climb the city wall, and there was a fierce battle with the soldiers defending the city.
Because of the fear of hurting their own people, the extremely lethal weapon of the ballista was completely useless on the city wall.
Soldiers can only attack the beast with blades and bows and arrows, but they do not have an effective killing effect.
Even if they poke the blind beast in the eye, they can continue to attack wildly, and for a while, the city wall is in chaos.
But fortunately, the musket battalion equipped with musket soldiers moved and exploded the beast's head, avoiding a bigger riot.
Li Changfeng had to order the soldiers of the musket battalion to speed up the throwing of grenades, and soon suppressed this wave of offensive.
Under his orders, Nangong Changming organized his soldiers to frantically throw boulders at the evil beasts and rushing over, and the archers shot intensively.
As for the spearmen, they carried spears and stabbed anyone who tried to climb the walls in vain.
For a time, the city wall became a large meat grinder.
The corpses of the beasts and barbarian soldiers piled up, forming a slope directly.
In this way, even the ladder was spared, and the evil beasts and barbarian soldiers trampled on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards the city walls.
However, the defenders of Dingyang City occupied a condescending terrain advantage, and with the support of grenades, the losses were insignificant.
On the other hand, the Nanban suffered heavy losses, and there was already a river of blood under the city wall.
This kind of tragic scene of being killed and injured by a grenade without even having a chance to fight head-on, and even being blown to pieces, violently impacted their minds.
Soon the barbarian soldiers' courage to survive was gone, and signs of rout began to appear, and no matter how much Battle shouted and cursed and threatened, it was useless.
This situation of being completely crushed made even him feel fear and despair.
He can't retreat.
But the defeat was like a mountain.
Despair is most contagious on the battlefield, and soon more soldiers begin to flee and spiral out of control.
Battle wanted to cry without tears.
Li Changfeng smiled coldly and said: "Don't be reluctant, the grenades will blow up those evil beasts for me, the archers will shoot the barbarian soldiers, and the artillery battalion will shoot freely and kill me in the encirclement first!" ”
Seeing the rout of the Southern Barbarian army, there was a tsunami-like shout from Dingyang City.
Everyone looked at Li Changfeng with admiration.
"Everything is in His Highness's plan!"
"That line of fire is simply amazing, dividing the Southern Barbarian army into two!"
"The evil beasts and southern barbarians in the encirclement of the line of fire are simply inescapable!"
"Fortunately, there is a big marshal, otherwise with our words, we would not be able to resist the barbarian army at all!"
"Maybe it's true that Chuang's words are true, Your Highness is really a god descending into the world!"
At this time, the barbarian soldiers outside the line of fire had almost extinguished the flames in the trench, and they could already clearly see the situation in the battlefield.
Everyone's expressions turned panicked and desperate.
More than eighty percent of the evil beasts in the encirclement have been killed or wounded, and more than half of the barbarian soldiers have been killed or wounded.
There were incomplete corpses and fragments of flesh everywhere, and the ground was littered with a mixture of blood and mud, making it look like a sea of hellish blood.
The deafening roar of artillery continued to ring, and they watched as their companions were blown to smithereens, and the survivors ran frantically towards them.
The army of the Great Cadres is also terrible!
Is this still human?
Battle mingled in the fleeing crowd, screaming incessantly.
"Retreat! Retreat! ”
"Don't get together, spread out! Spread out! ”
Suddenly, a shell fell on him.
Battle's voice stopped abruptly and was blown to pieces.
