Chapter 102: Fire Attack
Soon the giant warriors came to the city wall, as before, the giant warriors were still divided into two columns, still attacking the crumbling city wall with huge stones, as the giants smashed the city wall, the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Western Regions on the city head would flutter with the city wall.
The king of Zhenxi commanded the soldiers, and frantically poured all the rolling wood and thunder stones on the city wall to the giant warriors, although the warriors worked hard, but those things did not have much impact on the giants, and they didn't even bother to reach out to block them, just concentrated on their wall-smashing work.
The city wall is becoming more and more fragile under the attack of the giants, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before it is smashed by the giants, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall can only do some useless struggles.
At this time, a non-commissioned officer came up to report to the king of Zhenxi, saying that Jixiangju in the city had brought all the wine, what should the king do?
"Wine, what wine? Who told you to transport wine now? What is the use of bringing birds here?" The king of Zhenxi was very angry, and at this time he still had the leisure to carry wine.
"This, this, is an order from King Yuwen, let us go and assist the boss of Ji Xiangju and transport all the spirits in the city to the front line. The non-commissioned officer said a little aggrieved.
"King Yuwen, the wine that you want to transport?" King Zhenxi turned his head to look at Chu Weixian's general soldiers and several other generals in confusion, and everyone shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know about it.
King Zhenxi waved his hand helplessly, and said, "Okay, you go down and distribute the wine to the soldiers, and when everyone has finished drinking, open the city gate for me and rush out, and fight with the old thief!"
The sergeant was ordered to go down to the city at once, but after a while he came up again with an old man. The old man had a jar of wine in his arms, and the non-commissioned officer led him towards the king of Zhenxi.
After the non-commissioned officer reported it, the old man came to the king of Zhenxi and bowed, and said: "O king, the untouchables have turned into the owners of the Jixiangju wine shop in the city of Yuenai, and they have something important to report to the king. ”
"You speak. ”
"The untouchables are long story short. The day before yesterday, King Yuwen discovered that the spirits brewed by the untouchables could be used to burn the enemy giants, so he asked dozens of military masters to assist the old man to collect and transport the spirits stored in the brewery and the people of the inner city to the front line, so as to help the defenders of the city destroy the enemy giants. With that, the old man handed the wine jar in his hand to the non-commissioned officer next to him, and asked him to demonstrate it to the king and other kings and ministers in the way he said.
The non-commissioned officer placed the jar on a catapult, then tilted it to one of the giants under the city walls and launched it.
After the wine jar flew out, it drew an arc in the air, and accurately hit the shoulder of a giant who was carrying stones, and the wine jar shattered in response, but the attacked giant did not care at all, nor was it affected in any way, but a piece of armor on his shoulder and chest was soaked with wine.
The sergeant picked up another bow and arrow, soaked it in oil, set it on fire, aimed it at the giant and shot the rocket.
The fiery arrow went straight to the giant's chest, and with a "boom", the liquor on the giant's body was ignited, and a fire immediately broke out to surround the giant.
I saw that the giant immediately threw away the stone in his hand, and his hands scratched at his body for a while, and the fire kept burning, and as the alcohol soaked into the armor, the flames came out of the armor again, and the sound of "popping" skin and flesh burning was clearly audible.
I saw that the giant had curled up on the ground in pain at this time, and then began to roll on the ground, making a scream of "wah-wow-wow".
After the king of Zhenxi and all the officers and soldiers saw this scene on the city wall, they couldn't help but cheer excitedly, and finally found a way to deal with the giant, everyone seemed to see the hope of victory, and everyone was so excited that they burst into tears.
Soon, more than 500 jars of Fulong wine collected in the city were carried to the city, and dozens of catapults were ready to be put in place. With the personal order of the king of Zhenxi, dozens of jars of spirits flew towards the giants.
Because a giant warrior had been burned to death just now, the Tufan side had already been alert, and at this time, seeing that the Western Regions side had concocted the same method, he immediately shouted gold and let the giant warriors retreat, but the giants were relatively slow, and the thirty or so giants who fell behind were still hit by the wine jar, and were ignited by rockets, and a raging fire ignited in an instant, and more than 30 huge fire men rushed back to the Tufan position while rolling and crawling.
The Tufan soldiers rushed to the rescue of the giant warriors, and they used sand, wet cloth and other things to throw flames on the giant's body, but the giant was too large and burned everywhere, crushing the rescued soldiers to death or igniting many of them.
At this time, the city adjusted the firing distance of the trebuchet again, and fired more than a hundred jars of liquor at the front of the Tufan army, and after a burst of rockets was fired, a fire also ignited in the Tufan array, and the Tufan soldiers were immediately burned to the ground and fled, and they couldn't care about those giant warriors.
Before dismounting from the city, it suddenly became a sea of fire, and the Tufan troops had to retreat for more than ten miles, leaving behind the corpses of more than 30 giant warriors and nearly 1,000 Tufan soldiers, and the scene was a mess, with charred corpses and discarded weapons, armor and chariots everywhere.
Looking at the Tufan team that fled in defeat, King Zhenxi was already in tears at this time, and he couldn't imagine that he still benefited from King Yuwen's prior arrangement, so he finally saved Xiama Pass, but he was bewitched by others and killed King Yuwen with his own hands. At this time, no one can tell whether his mood is joy, sadness, shame and remorse.
This battle made Deyong very angry, and he couldn't figure out why he suddenly had such a secret weapon in Guancheng, which caught him off guard. He even suspected that this was a ploy by the envoy of King Yuwen, making him think that he was defenseless at Xiama Pass, and when he let his horse attack, he gave him a surprise blow.
What is even more unexpected is that the secret weapon giant warrior he carefully cultivated, he lost more than half of the two cities in the Western Regions alone, which was a big blow to his confidence in conquering the entire Central Plains. It seems that the Central Plains is really a vast land, and there are countless strange skills, and it is indeed difficult to win by relying only on the skill of giants.
After learning the hard way, Deyong decided to temporarily remove the giant warriors and let them go back to recuperate. And here in the city of Tongyuan to regroup troops, and at the same time from the rear to mobilize siege weapons, after full preparation, continue to besiege the city of Xiamaguan, be sure to take this city.
Because when I came to attack the Western Regions this time, I originally counted on relying on the giant warriors, so I didn't bring all kinds of large-scale siege weapons with the army, and the siege troops only had some simple siege ladders, and now there were no giants, so I had to use the traditional siege methods to attack Xiamaguan, and the terrain of Xiamaguan was dangerous, the city was high and the walls were thick, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I had to prepare some large-scale siege weapons before launching an attack.
