Su Ming gave an order, and the morale of the soldiers on the city wall suddenly rose.

You said, just now someone "banged" and couldn't fight back, what kind of thing is that!

Su Ming gave an order, and the soldiers in charge of the catapult suddenly got busy.

On the city wall of Yecheng, a lot of catapults have already been arranged.

Moreover, the catapults on the walls of Yecheng are all built by skilled craftsmen in the city, and their quality is far better than the catapults of Zhang He's army outside the city.

Outside the city, the catapults of Zhang He's army were all temporarily cut down outside the city, and they were shoddy products.

Zhang He threw stones at the city wall with their catapults.

However, after Su Ming gave the order, the soldiers under his command loaded the catapult with no stones.

Su Ming's soldiers, they loaded the catapult with wine jars.

These jars were not filled with wine, but with oil, sulfur, and other things that ignited fire.

"Ready!"

With the order of the herald, all these wine jars were put on the catapult.

Then, the herald shouted, "Fire!" ”

With this order, I saw that countless wine jars were thrown out by catapults.

Su Ming's catapult was on the city wall, and the condescending siege equipment of Zhang He's army threw wine jars, which was far more accurate than Zhang He's catapult.

The wine jar that covered the sky and the sun tore through the sky and smashed towards the siege equipment in the front row of Zhang He's army.

"Bang dang!"

"Bang dang! Bang dang! ”

One after another, wine jars smashed on top of the siege machines, and the wine jars shattered, and the oil and sulfur were sprinkled all over the siege machines.

Then, Su Ming was heard shouting from above the city wall: "Release the rocket." ”

This rocket is not a rocket of the Dongfeng series.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the rocket was soaked in oil for three days and three nights, and then the shaft of the arrow was hollowed out and stuffed with sulfur, gunpowder and other things.

In this way, when the arrow is fired, it will rub against the air due to its high speed.

After this friction, the spark ignites the entire arrow, thus achieving the effect of this rocket.

After Su Ming gave an order, the crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time immediately opened their bows and arrows and shot the rockets in their hands.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

There was a burst of breaking sounds, and countless arrows were shot out, burning with raging flames when they pierced the sky.

These arrows shot straight towards the siege equipment in the front row of Zhang He's army, and the goal was very clear, that is, to burn these siege equipment.

The siege equipment built by normal procedures should be covered with a layer of leather and pinned cowhide.

This cowhide is extremely fire-resistant, and it is difficult for ordinary flames to ignite this layer of cowhide.

It was also a siege machine, a means of preventing fire attacks.

However, the siege equipment used by Zhang He and them were all temporarily cut down under the city.

The top of these siege machines was not covered with this layer of arson.

Zhang He and they were in a hurry to attack the city, where did they have time to make so many cowhides, besides, there was nowhere to find these cowhides now.

After losing this arson step, these siege machines made of wood are just a little bit away!

"Boom!"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

As these rockets were fired at these siege machines, Zhang He's siege engines immediately burst into flames.

It even caused some small explosions.

For a while, a raging flame burned under the city wall, and those crashing cars, siege vehicles and other large siege equipment were burned, almost forming a wall of fire.

Su Ming used this trick, and ten percent of Zhang He's siege equipment was burned off.

For a while, all the soldiers and horses of Zhang He under the city wall were there, neither rushing up nor retreating.

Rush, how to rush forward!

Their siege engines were ablaze and formed a wall of fire, which stopped them.

Back down?

On the battlefield, the military order is like a mountain, without Zhang He's order, who dares to retreat!

Therefore, these soldiers are simply hanging there.

Zhang He camp.

Zhang He saw that there was a fire burning in front of him, and the attack of the army was stalled, and he was about to ride his horse to the front line when he happened to see an adjutant general rushing over.

This lieutenant is named Jiao Touch, and he is almost at the level of a third-rate general.

"General, something is wrong!"

"Our siege equipment is not fireproof, and it was all burned by the enemy!" Jiao Touch said hurriedly.

Zhang He thought to himself, I still use you to report! I've seen it all.

Crashes, siege vehicles, these large-scale siege equipment, ten percent were burned by others, and Zhang He really couldn't do anything about it.

These siege equipment they improvised were indeed embarrassing.

The most important thing is that Su Ming is too calm.

It wasn't until the siege equipment reached the city wall that the catapult fired fire oil and released rockets, which burned these siege equipment to the greatest extent.

Zhang He knew that he had met an opponent this time.

At this time, Zhang He also understood that even if the enemy's troops were insufficient, it would not be so easy to capture Yecheng.

Judging from the current situation, his 50,000 soldiers and horses, without casualties of 20,000 or 30,000, don't even think about capturing Yecheng.

However, he couldn't drag it out, and the more he delayed, the worse it would be for him.

Thinking of this, Zhang He couldn't help frowning and asked, "The ladder, the ladder is still there." ”

Although large siege equipment such as siege operations, crashes, and siege vehicles are important, the most basic is the ladder.

As long as the ladder is there, it can still attack the city.

Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The ladder, the ladder is still there." ”

The ladder is small in target and numerous, and it is also easy to build.

Therefore, Su Ming didn't take the ladder as an attack target at all, so Zhang He's ladder was still there.

"The siege equipment is gone, let the ladder go up!"

"No matter what, you have to capture Yecheng for me, even if it is a pile of human lives, you have to pile up Yecheng!" Zhang He gave the order in a serious tone.

At this time, Jiao Touch's face became ugly.

Heap with human life?

The clay pot is difficult to break from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die in battle.

He is not afraid of death, but now that the fire is blocking the way, it is not easy to rush forward!

"General, the fire is blocking the way!"

"How do you rush through?" Jiao Touch asked with some hesitation.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang He was immediately angry.

"Just a flame, what to fear!"

"There is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, and you have to rush forward for me!" Speaking of this, Zhang He dismounted and said in a deep voice: "Prepare a ladder for me, I will be the vanguard." ”

"From now on, the soldiers will retreat, and even the chief will kill them!"

"Retreat, Centurion kills!"

"Centurion retreat, Centurion kills!"

"If you retreat, I'll kill you."

"If I retreat, everyone can kill him!"
