The south gate tower of the city of Daliang.

Wei Wangzeng couldn't see the battle in the distance clearly.

But the boat turned into a torch made Wei Wangzeng unable to ignore.

Seeing the boats catching fire, and finally a large number of boats heading to the shore, docking, and sinking, Wei Wangzeng felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

The drumstick fell to the ground, and Wang Zeng of Wei lost his voice and cried out: "Brother Wang!! ”

Wei Qi is one of Wei Wangzeng's most trusted younger brothers.

This is also an important reason why Wei Qi has been defeated again and again, but he can still be defeated again and again.

Wei Wangzeng thought that Wei Qi's ability might not be enough, but he would definitely not betray him!

Today, however, his most trusted brother is in flames!

How could Wei Wangzeng not be heartbroken?

The crown prince Wei Jiao and Wei Jiao hurriedly stepped forward and supported Wei Wangzeng one left and one right, and Wei Jiao was even more relieved: "Don't worry, father." ”

"Uncle has been in battle for many battles but has not been injured so far, which shows that my ancestors and ancestors of Great Wei have been protecting my uncle!"

"And as long as our army sends troops immediately, we will be able to save my uncle!"

Wei Ji nodded again and again: "What the eldest brother said is true. ”

"In the past, it was the encirclement and interception of 100,000 Qin troops that didn't hurt my uncle in the slightest, but now it's just a sea of fire, how can I damage my uncle's hair?"

"Uncle Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will not be harmed, please don't damage your body first!"

Wei Fake and Wei Blame's words are outrageous, but they are all big truths.

In terms of military strategy, Wei Qi is far inferior to Pang Xuan and other generals.

But when it comes to escaping, Wei Qi is definitely a famous general in the world!

Wei Wangzeng was also a little relieved, regained his strength and stood up straight, shook off the support of his two sons by the way, and shouted in a deep voice: "You should be knighted on the battlefield!" ”

Seeing that Wei Wangzeng had recovered, Wei Fake and Wei Ji immediately laughed and gave up: "Only! ”

Wei Wangzeng asked Pang Xuan in a solemn voice: "General Pang, can you immediately order the second batch of sailors to go on the expedition?" ”

Before Wei Qi's troops set out on the expedition, Pang Xuan divided the Daliang City Water Division into three batches.

One of them was used to block the oil of the inland waterway, and one was led by Wei Qi to go on the expedition, and now there is still the last group of water troops in Daliang City to fight!

Pang Xuan pondered for a long time before he spoke: "The Qin army broke the method of our army's water division, and it is still a fire attack. ”

"The foreign minister doesn't know when the Qin army spilled black oil on our boat, but if you can't resist the black oil and fire attack of the Qin army, sending the sailors out of the city will only be sent to death."

Wei asked angrily: "Do I have to sit back and watch my uncle fall into a crisis!" ”

Wei Wangzeng angrily reprimanded: "Fake, don't be rude!" ”

"Can General Pang have a plan to break this fire attack?"

Pang Xuan shook his head bitterly: "The foreign minister has no good plan. ”

Pang Xuan is indeed a famous general in the world, but Pang Xuan's main battlefields are in the northwest and northeast, both of which are land battlefields, and Pang Xuan's water combat ability is even between Ying Chengcheng and Ying.

It is difficult for a strong man to let a famous general in land warfare solve the problem of water warfare.

Wei Qi suddenly proposed: "Chenguan Those boats are all on fire near the waterline. ”

"The minister thinks that it is better to put a circle of bronze near the waterline to resist the burning of the Qin army!"

Wei Wangzeng frowned slightly: "It will take a long time to transform the ship. ”

Wei Qi said helplessly: "This is the best way that the minister can think of." ”

Wei Wangzeng looked at the other courtiers: "Do you Aiqing still have good advice?" ”

Gao Meng and the others also had no choice but to give up: "The ministers have no other good plan!" ”

Seeing that there was no better solution, Wei Wangzeng immediately ordered: "Order! The craftsmen of the whole city put down all their work and put bronze fences on all the Great Wei warships. ”

"Ning Lingjun, you are personally responsible for this matter, you must be fast!"

Wei Yi immediately gave up his hand: "Only! ”

Wei Wangzeng looked at Pang Xuan again: "General Pang may buy me another month for Daliang City?" ”

Pang Xuan thought quickly in his heart.

From the time the river is blocked to the time the water is burst and the water is released, one month should not be enough.

Moreover, Chang'anjun's department is only a partial division, and the main direction of the Qin army is Zhao State, and Qin State does not think that more people will be recruited to assist Chang'an Jun in digging the river embankment.

After the collapse of Zhao Garlic's troops and the reinforcements from various counties, the defenders of Daliang City still had more than 40,000 people, and it should be more than enough to defend Daliang City for a month.

After thinking about it for a while, Pang Xuan finally gave up: "The foreign minister will do his best!" ”

As soon as Pang Xuan's words fell, a burst of golden drums suddenly came into everyone's ears.

Wei Wangzeng and Pang Xuan looked to the north together, and saw two bonfires lit on both sides of the north gate tower of Daliang City!

Pang Xuan and Wei Wangzeng glanced at each other and exclaimed in unison: "It's not good! ”

"Hurry to the North City Gate!"

……

Half an hour ago, the North City Gate.

Meng Nan hissed angrily: "If you go to the camp again, you must keep at least eight ladders!" ”

"Liu Bo's department, siege the city!"

Ying Chengcheng and Pang Xuan stood inside and outside the south city gate respectively, constantly changing instructions to guide the two armies to fight, ambush, and break the situation.

The comings and goings of the two generals made the battle situation outside the southern city gate change rapidly.

And there was no one of the main generals of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Wei on the battlefield of the North City Gate, only two captains were waging an unpretentious and cruel and bloody war according to the orders of their superiors.

More than half of the Qin army's infantry troops were here, and the intensity of the battle at the North City Gate far exceeded that of the South City!

Meng Nan anxiously paced back and forth on the command platform, constantly adjusting the offensive posture.

Just as Meng Nan glanced at the north city wall again, Meng Nan's head suddenly paused, then turned a few degrees, his gaze moved down slightly, and then subconsciously took two steps forward.

"Isn't Ben Dazzled?" Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Meng Nan looked at it again, but found that the result in his eyes was the same as before.

Meng Nan immediately beckoned into the distance: "Batun Chief!" ”

Seeing this, Bafu, who was observing the battlefield from a distance, climbed onto the command platform and asked in a deep voice: "General Meng, does it take a certain message to convey the message of the commander?" ”

Meng Nan pulled Bafu and pointed to the North Water Gate: "Ben will suspect that his eyes are spent, and he will bother Batun to take a look at the North Water Gate." ”

"What do you think about the North Water Gate fence gone?"

When Yafu looked closely, he saw a row of bronze shields connected together blocking the North Water Gate, as if they were the North Water Gate.

But Hachifu knows that they are not!

Leaning out and squinting his eyes and taking a closer look at the firelight for a long time, Hachifu finally found the remnants of the bronze grate near the upper end of the city gate.

Each bronze gate is half a zhang long and several feet short, and the shape is also twisted and sinking, without the appearance of a water gate.

Hachifu rubbed his eyes fiercely, and said in disbelief: "There is only a little bit left in the door!" ”

After getting the confirmation of the eight husbands, Meng Nan was still puzzled and asked: "Then, what about the door?" ”

Hachio was also stunned.

yes, what about the door?

The siege battle between the two sides has been fought for so long, and as a result, the gate of Daliang City is missing?

Off the beaten track!

Yafu said in a broken voice: "So-and-so will inform the general of this matter!" ”

Meng Nan immediately surrendered his hand: "I'm tired of Batun Chief!" ”

"Ben will be on guard, beware that this is an enemy conspiracy!"

After hurriedly returning the salute, Hachifu quickly slid down the north gate command platform and rode his horse to the south city gate command platform.

"Head of the house!" Bafu climbed onto the command platform again like an ape, and said anxiously without waiting for Ying Chengcheng to ask: "The water gate in the north of Daliang City is gone!" ”

Ying Chengcheng asked in surprise: "Meng Duwei broke through the North Water Gate?" ”

Hachifu shook his head suddenly: "No, no, no!" ”

"That's it...... It's gone! ”

Ying Chengcheng frowned and asked, "Daliang City pulled up the North Water Gate?" ”

Bafu continued to shake his head: "It's not that it's pulled up, you can still see some copper grates in the North Water Gate door, but those copper grates are like dogs gnawing them, and there is a crooked and oblique section." ”

Bafu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said excitedly: "Lord, do you say that there is some divine beast that is helping me Daqin?" ”

"When there was no one, the divine beast quietly jumped out of the water, whined, rattle, and ate the water gate?!"

The more he said, the more Bafu felt that this conjecture was reasonable: "Lord, God bless me Daqin!" ”

Eight husbands danced with their hands, and they became a toad: (O_O)?

Such a big water gate, you told me it was gone? And it was gnawed by a dog or some kind of monster?

This is no longer a paranormal event.

This is a mythical event!

Ying Cheng asked solemnly: "Let's talk about it carefully, what happened before the disappearance of the North Water Gate!" ”

Bafu hurriedly recounted seriously: "Your Majesty obeyed the Lord's order, and led his family soldiers and personal soldiers to dump oil upstream of the North Water Gate. ”

"About half an hour after the ignition was fired, a shield wall composed of bronze square shields suddenly fell from the North Water Gate."

"The oil dumped by the lowly is blocked by the shield wall, and it is impossible to continue to enter the city of Daliang along the river."

"After several unsuccessful attempts, he reported the matter to the Lord, and then continued to observe the battle at the North City Gate according to the Lord's order."

"A quarter of an hour ago, Captain Meng Du called his subordinates to go up to the command platform to look at the water gate together, and then he couldn't see the water gate with his subordinates!"

According to Hachifu's description, the disappearance of the North Water Gate was a supernatural event.

But the corners of Ying Chengcheng's mouth turned up unconsciously: "The North Water Gate is not gone, but it has fallen into the water!" ”

Hafu blinked: "Didn't the water gate fall into the water?" ”

Ying Chengcheng smiled: "It's not in the water, but it fell into the water." ”

"The North Water Gate was burned by oil!"

Bronze has a melting point of 800° to 1000°, but the temperature after burning oil is between 1100° and 1900°.

The temperature at which the oil burns can completely melt bronze!

And the shield wall that the Wei army fell made all the oil that Bafu had fallen piled up in the opening of the North Water Gate, and a large amount of oil was piled up together and continued to burn, how could the Water Gate, which was forged in bronze in the shape of a fence, not melt!

Bafu was stunned, and then smashed his left hand into the palm of his right hand, and said excitedly: "Before I was humble, I thought that General Pang was a clever way to block oil with a shield wall. ”

"But I never thought that this method would become a strategy to break the city!"

"Please go to the North City Gate immediately and command our army to break through Daliang City!"

Ying Chengcheng shook his head: "No! ”

Looking at Pang Xuan standing in the gate tower of the south city from afar, Ying Chengcheng said in a deep voice: "I will need to stand here to attract General Pang's attention. ”

"Bafu, order the commander Meng Nan to continue to storm the north city gate."

"Then go to the camp and hide close to the North Water Gate to erect pontoon bridges and chains."

"If he can break through the North City, he will be counted as his first merit!"

Yafu threw up his hand excitedly: "Only! ”
