October 16, the ninth year of the reign of King Qin.

The sky was slightly bright, and the Qin army's front army threw away their torches, climbed on the cloud ladder and continued to impact the Xinzheng city wall.

For three whole days, the offensive of the Qin army was day and night, without sleep!

Just when everyone thought that the day would still be over, a fast horse flew out of the baggage camp and galloped to the command platform, and the knight on horseback shouted:

"Thirty trebuchets are ready!"

"Please show the general!"

Ying Chengcheng finally showed a smile: "Order the front army, increase the intensity of the attack!" ”

"Command the baggage battalion to select the main target of Xinzheng Chengtou for diffuse coverage!"

"Order the whole army to put on armor and prepare for a general attack!"

The flag swayed, the war drums beat, and the Qin army's front army launched an increasingly frantic attack on the city wall.

A few soldiers have even stormed the city walls!

In the front of the Qin army, three thousand soldiers roared in unison: "Throw! ”

With the sound of shouting, 3,000 wrestlers pulled the rope and ran backwards, and the oil jar in the net pocket was thrown along the parabola towards the head of Xinzheng City.

Looking at these flying jars from afar, Zhang Rang's eyes froze.

The news that Wancheng got was also passed on to Xinzheng, so Zhang Rang also knew very well that these jars were the culprits who caused Xicheng to fall in one day.

Whether you can stand Xinzheng City depends on whether you can deal with these jars!

Zhang Rang immediately shouted: "Order the whole army, if there is an open fire, it is forbidden to extinguish the fire by itself, and act according to the previous order." ”

"Order the conscripts to go to the city, and act according to the original plan."

"Order the trebuchet, target the Qin army trebuchet, and smash it at all costs!"

"Herald ......"

Orders were spit out one after another from Zhang Rang's mouth, and the trebuchet standing at the head of Xinzheng City aimed at the Qin army's trebuchet and threw heavy stone projectiles.

A large number of conscripts took all kinds of objects up to the city wall and waited for them.

Just as the first batch of jars smashed on the city, hundreds of conscripts picked up the sackcloth and rushed to the place where the jar fell, quickly wiping the liquid flowing from the jar with the sackcloth in their hands.

But before they could clean up the viscous liquid, the second and third batches of jars had already fallen to the city walls.

On the command platform, Ying Chengcheng clearly saw the movements of the South Korean defenders, and did not dare to hesitate, so he ordered in a broken voice: "The front army withdraws!" ”

"Crossbowman ignition!"

At the sound of an order, even the Qin army, which had already rushed to the city wall, quickly retreated.

On the other hand, thousands of rockets were thrown towards the head of Xinzheng City.

Even though the South Korean army had cleaned up the oil as much as possible, the remaining layer of oil alone was enough to support a fire, and even ignited the barrels containing the oil from the conscription, causing even more violent flames in a small area.

The trebuchet of the South Korean army, which was listed as a key target, and the city gate tower had risen into a sea of fire in an instant!

In the midst of the fire, Zhang Rang was not afraid, but shouted in a deep voice:

"School A continues to defend the city wall, and it is not allowed to retreat!"

"Schools B, D, and Ji act according to orders!"

The 5,000 soldiers of School A could only cower in fear in a corner without fire, looking in fear at the jar that continued to fall in the sky.

The 15,000 soldiers of the B, D, and Ji schools sprinkled oil with sand, sackcloth, paddles, children's urine, and geranium blood.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Sheng ran through the sea of fire to the city gate tower, and shouted in a scorching voice: "The fire is too big, Ah Weng, give up the city gate tower and retreat to the palace!" ”

Zhang Rang scolded angrily: "Retreat to the palace in this battle, where to retreat in the next battle!" ”

"Since the king handed over the army to the prime minister, the prime minister will not be ashamed of the king."

"I don't believe in it, this fire can't be extinguished!"

Zhang Sheng said bitterly: "But all the methods you commanded before have been tried, and none of them have worked......"

Before Zhang Sheng's words fell, a soldier with a face full of smoke and dust suddenly strode over excitedly: "General! We've put out the fire! ”

Zhang Rang Daxi asked: "What method is used?" ”

The soldier said in a loud voice: "The sand! ”

Zhang Sheng asked: "Our department is also using sand and stones to extinguish the fire, and it can't extinguish the flame at all, but your department really extinguished the fire?" ”

When marching in the field, sand and gravel are often used to extinguish stove fires, so Zhang Sheng's department has great expectations for sand and gravel.

But as a result, the fire first subsided, and then continued to burn on its own.

The soldier hurriedly explained: "It's sand! We can't use sand and stones, so we dump all the fine sand on the place where the fire started, and cover all the places where the fire is burning thickly, and the fire is extinguished! ”

"Look, General, it's the fire we put out there!"

Zhang Rang looked over and saw a small sand dune.

The dunes were flanked by a sea of fire, but only a trace of black smoke remained in the dunes.

But as oil flowed from both sides of the dune, covering the dune, the dunes rekindled their flames.

Zhang Rang laughed happily: "This fire, the true phase has been broken!" ”

"How else can Qin Jun be arrogant?"

Zhang Sheng reminded in a low voice: "Ah Weng, that sand dune has also caught fire. ”

Zhang Rang interrupted and said: "It is a flame flowing from elsewhere, if all the flames are extinguished with sand, where else can the flames flow from?" ”

"Order all the conscripts to dig three feet into the ground in Dongcheng District and bring all the sand to the city wall!"

"If you still can't extinguish this fire, then the original phase will block the Shuangye River and hollow out the river sand at the bottom of the Shuangye River!"

As he spoke, Zhang Rang looked out of the city, looking at Ying Chengchan standing on the command platform, as if he wanted to tell Ying Chengchan.

Carving insect skills, not enough!

Looking at Zhang Rang's arrogant smile and firm gaze, Ying Chengcheng was slightly regretful: "It's a pity." ”

Ying Chengcheng never thought that oil alone could break through all cities, otherwise the most capable of fighting in the Northern Zhou Dynasty would not be the government soldiers, but the arson brigade.

But the reason why oil can wreak havoc in the Chinese Cold Weapon War for more than a thousand years is because even if the enemy army is prepared, oil can still play a great role!

Ying Cheng shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order to the front army, attack the city!" ”

The front army of the Qin army roared towards Xinzheng City again.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the jar full of oil was thrown again.

The Qin army's front army quickly withdrew, and the Qin army's crossbowmen took advantage of the situation to ignite the oil.

The defenders, who knew how to extinguish the fire, were not as panicked as before, and hurriedly pushed the sand to extinguish the flames.

But as they went, many of the piles of sand that had been used to hide the oil were kicked open, and the oil hidden beneath it burned again after only a little spark.

The defenders managed to extinguish the fire at the head of the city, but there was a commotion from below.

"Go first! Go first! ”

Looking at the Qin army that had once again killed under the city, Zhang made his originally confident smile become a little bitter: "Burn the city with flames, and our army will save it." ”

"Once the fire is extinguished, the formation is chaotic, and you can't look left and right."

"The Qin army can take advantage of this chaos to quietly climb the city wall and launch a surprise attack."

"This battle is difficult!"

In Zhang Rang's opinion, even if he knew how to extinguish the flames, the battle would still be extremely difficult.

But in an attic in the distance, the faces of Han Xi and the others were very ugly.

"I thought that the flames of the Qin army might make Zhang Xiang defeated, but I never thought that it would be extinguished like this!"

"Qin Jun's demon fire, exaggerated, in vain makes us look forward to it so much!"

"The Wei State has decided to send troops to help, if Zhang Rang can hold out until the Wei army comes to aid and the city is not lost, then the army will definitely be dispatched by Zhang Rang, which is not good for us!"

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Han Xi did not hesitate any longer, and ordered: "Han Ke, you go to the Qin camp in person!" ”
