The complex water system is the pride of Daliang City.

The busy water transportation system is the main source of economic resources for Daliang City.

In peacetime, a large number of merchant ships entered the chasm from the Yellow River every day, and then followed the chasm into the moat of Daliang City.

After being inspected by the soldiers outside the North Water Gate, the merchant ships would sail into the inner river of Daliang City, unload the full ship of goods at the wharf in the city, and then load the various specialties of Daliang City, and then leave from the South Water Gate and sail to Chu State.

However, today, a black shadow quietly blends into Daliang City along this river, which is favored by many boat owners.

Just when Pang Xuan's attention was completely attracted by the battle situation outside the South Water Gate, the black shadow had already completed the penetration of the entire Daliang City!

Seeing from a distance that the red order flag stabbed into the sky three times after two circles, Bafu brought the Qin crossbow loaded with fire arrows to the torch.

Use the torch to light the fire arrow, aim at the North Water Gate, and Hachio pulls the trigger.

"Boom~"

The sound of the bowstring exploded, and the fire bolt slid through a parabola and fell towards the North Water Gate.

The oil that covered the North Watergate River was ignited as soon as it saw Mars.

North Water Gate is on fire!

Beishui Village is on fire!

The flames are still spreading along the river!

"Not good!" Pang Xuan finally realized the problem, and quickly ran to the inner wall of the city wall, and then saw a fire dragon starting from outside the North Water Gate, using the river as its body, and quickly growing towards the south!

Wei Wangzeng was still puzzled by Pang Xuan's movements.

But when Wei Wangzeng followed Pang Xuan to the inner wall of the city wall, his eyes suddenly widened, and he walked to the edge of the city wall in disbelief, leaned out of the city with half of his body, and cried out in a sad voice: "The widow's Daliang City!! ”

Ship merchants were wealthy, and there were plenty of luxurious buildings on both sides of the inland river for the pleasure and consumption of boat merchants and magnates.

Now, those buildings that brought huge wealth to Daliang City on weekdays have become accomplices of the fire dragon.

Floating flames ignite these buildings across the land and water, and these buildings use themselves as a medium to transmit the flames to the surrounding buildings on both sides of the riverbank!

As far as the eye can see, the northern urban area of Daliang City is already a sea of fire!

Pang Xuan's heart was also pounding.

He didn't have time to blame the scouts guarding the North Water Gate, so he immediately asked, "Where is Peng Chengjun?" ”

Wei Qi's loud voice shouted near the South Water Gate: "The end will be!" ”

Pang Xuan ordered in a broken voice: "Ten ships with big wings, end to end on the river!" ”

"Send another two hundred flying boats, and drop the big wood into the water!"

Looking at the rapidly spreading sea of fire, Wei Qi's body trembled.

The flames in front of him reminded Wei Qi of the fire on the Yellow River.

He's afraid!

Pang Xuan shouted: "Hurry up!! ”

"If you let Nanshui Village be burned, then Wei will die at the hands of you and me!"

Wei Qi finally stomped his feet and shouted fiercely: "Where are the general's soldiers!" ”

At the sound of an order, the family soldiers who were originally sitting on the boats walked out of the cabin and looked at Wei Qi quietly.

Wei Qi said in a deep voice: "Order! ”

"First board the camp into the big wings and fly boats as oarsmen."

"Each ship carries a soldier and a supervising army, and those who dare to retreat will be decided!"

"All boats obey General Pang's orders!"

Wei Qi bowed to all the soldiers and Xiandeng, and said sincerely: "I hope you will protect my Great Wei." ”

"If someone unfortunately dies in battle, all the guilt will be written off, and the family will be supported by this king!"

All the soldiers surrendered their hands in unison: "Thanks to Jun's grace, only death will be rewarded!" ”

The first warriors did not want to die, but for the sake of their families, they still sat in the oars.

Pang Xuan immediately ordered: "Fall into the wood!" ”

One by one, the logs that were supposed to be smashed into the enemy were pushed into the inner water.

One by one, the flying boats threw their hook claws, hooked the wood and went upstream, and finally fell down the wood at a distance of 500 zhang from Nanshui Village.

Pang Xuan continued to order: "Chain the boat!" ”

The flying boat quickly adjusted its body and lay across the river, and closed the two flying boats with the chain behind the hook and claw.

By the time this series of actions had been completed, the flames had reached the vicinity of the ship.

The ship's soldiers and the warriors who first boarded quickly jumped overboard, frantically swam to the shore with their arms fluttering, and immediately fastened the chains reserved at the left and right ends to the pillars and beams of the buildings on the shore as soon as they came ashore.

Pang Xuan, who was at the head of the city, pressed his right hand deeply into the battlements of the city wall, and muttered softly: "The survival of Daliang City depends on this!" ”

Under the nervous gaze, the fire dragon quickly devoured the woods, and drove them into the boat.

"Bang!"

With a dull crashing sound, some logs that had been flowing down the river horizontally in front of the chains of the flying boats, filling the gaps in the river with the flying boats.

The oil and flames floating on the surface of the water attached to the flying boat, and it didn't take long for the flying boat and wood to be consumed by the flames.

The relatively heavy water of the river was able to pass through the blockade from the bottom of the boat and continue to flow downstream.

After round after round of interceptions, the oil and flames flowing down the river were noticeably thinned.

Pang Xuan shouted again: "Big wings and boats!" ”

The wings of a single ship are 12 zhang (27.72 meters) long and span the river, connecting end to end like flying boats, forming the last line of defense together with the wood.

As far as the eye can see, the upstream river is still burning.

But each string of flying boats imprisoned the dragon's form like a chain, making the flames weaker.

The final Winged Boat was like an iron wall that completely blocked the fire dragon's footsteps.

The flying boat is upstream, and the sky is burning!

Flying boat downstream, the water is shining!

King Wei slapped the battlements of the city wall excitedly: "Cai! ”

"General Pang is also talented!"

Wei Wang Zeng thought that this round of fire attacks would completely turn Daliang City into scorched earth.

But now, although most of the banks of the inland river of Daliang City have been burned, and more than seventy percent of the water area of the inner river of Daliang City is burning, the city defense force and strength of Daliang City have been preserved to the greatest extent.

Dawei can still fight!

Da Wei is not dead!

Gao Meng and other courtiers shouted even more excitedly: "Congratulations to General Pang!" Congratulations to the King! For Da Wei He! ”

All the soldiers defending the city shouted in joy: "Great Wei Wansheng!" ”

Only Pang Xuan knew that his shirt had been wet with a layer of cold sweat, his breathing was as fast as a bellows, and the sound of his heartbeat ran through his brain like thunder.

Pang Xuan was afraid.

Fortunately, the intensity of Qin's offensive has eased recently, and Pang Xuan can sleep for two hours a day to rest his brain.

But if Pang Xuan's reaction speed is a little slower today, Wei Guoke will die!

Exhaling a deep breath of turbidity, Pang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to be excited. ”

"The Qin army can continue to pour black oil to make this fire more prosperous and longer!"

"But the ship has been burned with flames, and if the flames break through the planks and the chains of the boat break, the flames will continue to flow downstream."

"Daliang City is still not out of danger!"

After several operations to save Liang Cheng from the general, Wei Wangzeng already had full trust in Pang Xuan.

Hearing Pang Xuan's words, Wei Wangzeng immediately restrained his joy and said in a deep voice: "What needs to be done next, General Pang can command!" ”

Pang Xuan replied while pondering: "Connect the bronze shield, fall from the North Water Gate, and use the bronze shield to block the mouth of the river, so as to prevent the Qin army from pouring more black oil." ”

"The bronze shield needs to be prepared with more, and once the shield is burned, it will be replaced immediately."

"Then requisition all the civilian ships in Daliang City, all of them are connected by chains, and they are stopped on the river!"

Wei Wangzeng said in a broken voice: "Go and give the order!" ”

Pang Xuan's footsteps were a little vain towards the outer wall of the city wall, and finally he stabilized his figure with his hand on the battlement, and looked in the direction of the Qin army's command platform.

The night made Pang Xuan unable to see Ying Chengchan's figure clearly, but Pang Xuan's gaze happened to be opposite to Ying Chengchan's eyes.

"Since Chang'anjun burned the river with fire, he intended to attack our army's sailors."

"Can't wait any longer." Pang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Command the sailor, go on the expedition!" ”

Qin army command platform.

Ying Cheng's pupils were a little dilated.

He was waiting for the fire dragon to completely penetrate Daliang City and appear in front of his eyes.

But in the end, he couldn't wait for the fire to come out of the South Water Gate.

Ying Chengcheng muttered softly: "It is worthy of General Pang who led the five-nation alliance army to fight sixty miles east of Xianyang City!" ”

Ying Chengcheng didn't have any lost emotions in his heart.

Since the beginning of this battle, Ying Chengcheng has been fighting Pang Xuan with a learning mentality.

Now that the plan has failed, it is just another tuition fee.

It's just that this tuition fee is too expensive, and this strategy alone consumes nearly seventy percent of the army's oil reserves.

Since you have paid so much tuition, you should make the most of it!

Ying Cheng ordered in a deep voice: "Order!" All the Qin army is clamoring! ”

"Order Meng Nan's subordinates to intensify the attack on the north city gate!"

Ying Chengcheng's personal soldiers immediately shouted at the top of their voices: "The north gate of Daliang City has been broken, and Daqin Wansheng!" ”

With the gallop of the heralds, all the Qin troops gathered outside the southern city gate were shouting:

"The fire god Zhu Rong will come to the world again, and the flames will burn the city and destroy the beams!"

"The robe of the north gate has been broken, the robes, don't be left behind!"

"Daliang City has been broken, and those who descend will not be killed!"

"Great Qin, Wan Sheng!"

The shouts of tens of thousands of Qin troops and the wails and sorrows of more than 400,000 leaders of Daliang City completely suppressed the cheers of the defenders of Daliang City.

What can reach the ears of the Wei army's reinforcements is only bad news.

Zhang Er exclaimed in disbelief: "This is impossible! ”

"How strong Daliang City is, how can it be broken by the Qin army!"

Zhang Er hurriedly looked up at Daliang City, but the barrier of the city wall made it impossible for Zhang Er to see where the flames in the city had burned.

In front of his eyes, he could only see the sky red by flames!

On Zhang Er's side, the remaining Wei troops all stared blankly at the sky.

If Daliang City fell and King Wei died in battle, then what are they fighting for now?

Looking at Jiang Ming's department, which no longer relied on the cover of catapults, but advanced rapidly, a Wei soldier suddenly threw away his blade: "My Yuehe (monthly salary) is only three hundred yuan, what kind of life am I fighting for!" ”

With the first person to lead, more and more Wei troops threw away the blades in their hands:

"Daliang City is broken, in the future, our outer Huang County will be Qin soil, and the opposite side is all robes, and it is too hurtful to fight and kill!"

"That's it, the Great Wei is dead, no one will give us Yuehe anymore, and no one will fulfill the reward promised before the war, and even fight!"

"I've surrendered!"

The new tactics and catapults only threatened the Wei army with death from the outside.

However, the illusion of the fall of Daliang City disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Wei army from within.

Combining inside and outside, large swaths of the Wei army surrendered on their knees.

Zhang Ear spat and roared: "Who dares to surrender?" ”

"Where are the overseers? Those who surrender will be beheaded! ”

"Where is the prison army!!

Zhang Er shouted at the top of his voice, but it was useless, but attracted the unkind eyes of several Wei generals.

"It is said that Qin has what kind of knighthood law, whoever has merit can be knighted, if we take the head of the county order to Qin State to ask for merit, then can we also be nobles?"

"It's a capital offense!"

"Heh, Daliang City has been breached, even if it is a capital crime, who can help me?"

"I killed Zhang County Order today, and I will also be a county order next year!"
