Chapter 377: The Power of Fire Oil Bombs

Li Tao is a veteran who has followed Li Shimin in the southern and northern wars for many years, and has participated in the battles of Xue Yantuo and the Turks.

It can be described as a great achievement and rich experience.

So when he got the oil bomb, he didn't use it directly, but sent the shield soldier ladder cart to move forward slowly.

Disguised as if they were going to attack the city, the Goguryeo defenders immediately concentrated on the city walls and waited for them.

At this time, Li Tao ordered a salvo of crossbows and trebuchets to smash the unignited fire oil bombs above the city wall.

Suddenly, the sound of various bowstrings rang out, and the sound of breaking the sky was heard, and the soldiers defending the city immediately dodged when they saw the arrows in the sky.

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~~", the clay pot fell on the city wall and suddenly shattered, the fragments were split and exploded in all directions, and the stone grease water inside also splashed everywhere.

Just wait for the second wave of attacks to come again,

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~"

At this time, the defenders of Goguryeo realized that something was wrong, and the general touched it with his hand and put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"It's not good, it's fire oil."

Before the words fell, the third wave of igniting fire oil bombs was shot up by a strong crossbow.

"Bang~~" deflagration, those who have lit gasoline know what deflagration is.

"Ah~~ah~~" The screams rang out, and the fire oil splashed on many people was ignited.

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~~" The trebuchet was ready, and a bunch of fire oil bombs were also fired.

Whether these ignited fire bombs fell on the city wall or fell over the city wall, it was a sea of fire.

The splattered paraffin water began to burn and emit thick black smoke.

"Fight the fire."

"It's out of the water."

There was chaos in the city near the city walls, and smoke was billowing from the arrow tower, and people kept running out of it.

On the third floor, many figures shook, mixed with screams, and many people jumped from the stairs covered in fire.

In the distance, the officers and men of the Tang Army had already retreated, because the general had already ordered not to approach, and the smoke was poisonous.

So they were all watching the excitement from a distance, Li Tao rode on a war horse, admiring his masterpiece, and nodded from time to time, or to see where the fire was small, and gave orders to where to put it.

Li Daozong, who was standing on the high platform in the distance, looked as usual, smiled slightly, and couldn't stop nodding his head to show that he was very satisfied.

Only the two brothers who were sitting were a little uncomfortable when they saw such a tragic scene for the first time, Li Chengqian was better,

At least when he was a child, his father was still fighting everywhere, and he grew up listening to his father's stories.

And Li Shen is a little flower living in a greenhouse, he has never seen this burning scene.

Through the telescope, I saw that there were fires everywhere on both sides of the city gate of the urn city and the side of the main city, plus on the arrow tower.

And the urn city and the main city were also thick smoke, and Li Shen could vaguely hear the screams of people being burned at such a distance, which made people shudder.

Looking at the north and south directions of Wuliluo, you can also see black smoke rising, and it seems that they have also acted.

Soon the smoke grew louder and louder, and the situation on the city walls was no longer visible, only the light of the fire.

"Uncle Huang, do you think they will surrender?" Li Shen asked innocently.

"Probably not, this time because it was sudden, I estimate that a few thousand people will be burned to death at most, maybe less than a thousand.

Next time, if you want to repeat the old trick, I'm afraid it won't have this effect. Li Daozong judged.

"Then I'm trying to figure out a way to scare them to death." Li Shen said, and then said to Xue Rengui behind him,

"Rengui, you go and ask the guards to find a water source and fill our remaining clay pots with water. Don't use water, the more turbid and dark the better. Go ahead. ”

Li Shen is going to come to a flower grafting tree, stealing beams and changing columns,

After hearing this, Li Daozong immediately knew what Li Shen meant, and the heart was still this kid who had a lot of eyes, although it was not a clever plan, but small means could also play a role.

The battlefield is inherently ever-changing, and it is often a small error that leads to the defeat of the whole field.

After Li Shen finished his instructions, he took the telescope to observe the situation.

The burning time of crude oil is calculated according to the quantity, and this time it is so much that it will not burn up for a while and a half.

The morale of the Tang army this time was really high, and the happier they were when they saw the more miserable the enemy army was.

Taking advantage of this effort, Li Tao saw that the city wall was still burning, and immediately ordered someone to push the trench filling cart to rush to the bottom of the city wall and start cleaning the fortifications, preparing for the siege battle after a while.

Engineers are also rapidly assembling a fort (a siege apparatus similar to a raised platform on which archers carry out long-range suppression of the walls. )

Because of the huge size of the well, it was disassembled and transported, and at this time, it was possible to start assembling it relatively close to the city wall while there was no one.

Dozens of people assembled one, and soon seven or eight were assembled, and the ladder truck was slowly pushed over.

Half an hour later, the fire began to slowly weaken, but the smoke was still there, and Xue Rengui sent some cans of water to the three parties.

Li Chengqian's side has already received the battle report, and all three parties are assembling equipment, cleaning up the fortifications, and preparing to attack the city.

And in the past two quarters of an hour, the fire had been extinguished in many parts of the wall.

"The ladder cart immediately leaned against the wall, the sword and shield hand prepared, rushed up, the well moved forward, if it could be directly attached to the wall, all ready, and immediately attacked the city when they heard the horn."

Li Tao issued an order to siege the city, although there was still smoke on the city wall, and there was still a little fire in some places, but the opportunity could not be missed, if you didn't get close at this time, you don't know how much you need to pay to get close.

More than a dozen ladder carts were pushed quickly close to the city wall, only to hear the sound of thumping and crashing,

"The Tang army is attacking the city, prepare."

Someone inside the city wall heard the sound, the smoke from the burning of crude oil was poisonous, and it was very choking, Li Tao was waiting for the smoke to be a little smaller before going up,

A breeze blew and the horn of war was sounded.

"Siege ~~~" Li Tao gave the order.

"Woo~~~Woo~~~~"

"Kill," the sword and shield soldiers of the Tang army, all in armor, some holding spears, knives hanging from their waists, and some holding sickles,

Long weapons have the advantage of stabbing people when they are about to reach it,

The sound of killing was everywhere, the drums shook the sky, Li Shen's move was actually quite high, at least the wooden instruments such as rolling wood and fire oil on the city wall were burned.

Goguryeo could only be smashed with stones, and because the well was close, the archers above shot desperately,

Their purpose is very clear, that is, the people at the entrance of the ladder, as long as they have someone who can go up, they will have a chance.

Someone kept falling down the ladder and someone continuing to go up.

The ladder cart in the Tang Dynasty could accommodate two people walking side by side, so the chances were greater.

Li Tao looked at the situation in the field, which was very beneficial to his side, and the local equipment was insufficient, so it should be in transportation.

"Command, throw the clay pot."

"Woo woo~~~~"

(I suddenly had an idea that if each person clicked on a free gift, it would be 0.1 yuan.) Tens of thousands of people are not just a few thousand dollars.

A few thousand a day, a month is more than a hundred thousand, and a year is more than a million. Won't I be able to be free of wealth? )
