Chapter 386: Onslaught

Bang Bang Bang -

In a loud earthquake, the thunderbolt was triggered, and the tip of the cannon that was bent to the extreme suddenly bounced up, causing a loud shock, throwing the burning knife, wine and oil canister in the cannon tip towards the city of Hanzhong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

All of a sudden, the sky was covered with two rows of jars and jars, and because of the weight and density, the oil jars and the wine jars were separated in the air and thrown towards the city.

Seeing many unknown objects flying in the air, Ling Bud hurriedly shouted to the Yizhou army at the head of the city: "Quick, raise the shield! Hurry up and raise the shield!" Ling Bud didn't see what the whistling objects in the night were, and thought it was a strange weapon newly developed by Yuan Qi, so he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, and hurriedly asked the Yizhou army to raise their shields to do a good job of defense.

Bang Bang Bang -

As soon as the Yizhou soldiers raised their shields, the ejected jars and jars smashed down on their shields, and the entire Hanzhong city was full of crackling sounds. Most of the Yizhou soldiers just felt a wet on their heads, and a strong aroma of fine wine mixed with the pungent smell of fire oil wafted into their noses, and only a very small number of Yizhou soldiers were too unlucky, they were hit on the head by the wine jar or oil tank that fell from the sky, and they were immediately smashed on the head and broke the blood flow, and their brains burst to death.

Ling Bao smelled the mixed smell on his body, looked at the wine and fire oil dripping everywhere, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and was about to remind the soldiers to pay attention, but before he could shout out the words in his heart, the small Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers mixed with the wine jar and the oil tank group fell on the city of Hanzhong, after the violent collision, the fist-sized small Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers immediately burst, more than fifty Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers burst into hundreds of shrapnel that shot out in all directions, cutting through the solid iron armor, ruthlessly piercing into their bodies, with hundreds of unbearable screams, which is not what Ling Bud is most worried about。 What worries him the most is that at the moment when the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers exploded, the faint spark actually ignited those spirits and oil oil, and the spark could ignite the prairie fire, and the nearly 1,000 jars of spirits and oil that were thrown by the Qilin Army on the head of Hanzhong City immediately burst into flames, and many sergeants immediately ignited flames, and instantly turned into fire people, wailing and struggling in pain in the flames, and the fear of death. They were forced to extend a helping hand to their comrades around them, hoping that they could extinguish the flames on their bodies and save themselves from the fire. All of a sudden. The city of Hanzhong was in chaos, with burning flames and the painful cries and cries of the soldiers for help.

Seeing that the soldiers were in chaos, Ling Bao immediately shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Get water and extinguish the fire quickly!" On top of the city, a large number of rolling logs and other defensive military materials were stored. If these military funds are ignited, it will really be over, and the side defending the city will not have the defensive military resources, how can they defend the city? Now the most convenient means of extinguishing fire is to extinguish the fire with water, before that. In order to solve the worries of the soldiers defending the city, Huang Quan ordered people to bring dozens of jars of water, so that the soldiers could drink water at the head of the city.

The panicked Yizhou soldiers immediately followed Ling Bao's order, carefully dodging the flames, while taking water from buckets and throwing them at the comrades who were on fire. Unexpectedly, it was good not to splash water, but this splash made the fire on those comrades-in-arms more vigorous, as if they were not splashing water at all, but like fire oil. As dozens of jars of water were splashed out in an instant, the flames on the city head did not show the slightest sign of abating, but burned more vigorously, illuminating the entire city as if it were day. Under the effect of clear water, the flames were like waves drifting with the waves, and they had begun to burn towards the garrison troops piled up on the top of the city near the inner walls.

Seeing this situation, Ling Bud was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't understand why water couldn't extinguish the fire, all this in front of him was beyond his cognition.

Huang Quan, who was sticking to the city with the soldiers in the city, immediately woke up after the initial shock, and used water to extinguish the oil, which was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, not only would not contain the fire, but would also play a role in fueling the flames. In any case, Huang Quan is a civil official, and his knowledge must be much broader than that of Ling Bao, and after he came to his senses, Huang Quan immediately shouted loudly: "Don't use water to extinguish fires! Use sand to extinguish fires!"

Huang Quan was knowledgeable, but he forgot that he was now on top of the city, not fighting in the field, and in a hurry, where to find sand and soil to extinguish the fire? Therefore, although the Yizhou soldiers heard Huang Quan's roar, they only threw away the bucket in their hands and stopped pouring water, and they couldn't think of where to find sand and soil to extinguish the fire on this city made of solid stones.

Huang Quan himself quickly realized this problem, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted loudly: "Extinguish the fire with wet cowhide! Hanzhong as the gateway to Yizhou, there is no shortage of various armaments and materials in the city, and cowhides, as a conventional armament to resist the rain of siege arrows, naturally have reserves, under Huang Quan's shouting again, the Yizhou army is like grabbing the last straw, frantically rushing to the armament stack, from the already burning armament, struggling to grab nearly a hundred complete cowhides, splashing water to wet it, and wrapping it around the nearby teammates who are on fire. It's a pity that there are too many Yizhou troops on fire, and the number of cowhides is too small, which is quite a drop in the bucket.

Seeing that Huang Quan's move was effective, Ling Bao immediately shouted: "Quick! The rear army is divided into two teams, one team goes to dig sand and soil in the city, and the other team goes to rescue armaments and materials, hurry up!" The original reserve team at the head of the city immediately dispersed into two teams and acted separately according to Ling Bao's orders, just at this time Lei Tong summoned the soldiers and horses of the military camp in the city and rushed over, and collided with the Yizhou army who was about to dig sand and soil in the city, and the men and horses on both sides were jammed on the narrow stairs, and they all yelled for the other party to give way first. The scene was chaotic.

The city was chaotic, but the Yan army under the city preparing to attack the city was in order, taking advantage of the fire that Gan Jing burned, Zhang Chong had already led 20,000 siege troops to rush to the city of Hanzhong, Zhang Chong, whose face was like purple jade, had a firm look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Erect a cloud ladder, rush to the city!"

The sergeants of Zhang Chong's department immediately worked together to lift the special ladder with barbs, and in the roar of anger, the ladder was put up at the head of the city in Hanzhong, and the barbs at the front end of the ladder were adjusted with a rocker, so that the ladder firmly grasped the city wall. At the same time, the other part of the strong body, the strength of hundreds of people, holding the hammer of the city, launched a fierce attack on the city gate of Hanzhong, and slammed the city gate again and again, the city wall near the shaking city gate was shaking slightly, and from time to time stone chips were hit and fell from the city wall.

After fixing the ladder, Zhang Chong roared again: "Sword and shield hand." Raise your shield! Protect the ladder and the storming team, and the rest of the people will follow a certain person to the city!" The sword and shield bearers held their knives in one hand and raised their shields in the other, guarding the bottom of the ladder and the side of the storming team, while the others bit their swords in their mouths and began to climb up the ladder.

Zuo Ci, who is slightly behind Zhang Chong's department. Seeing that Zhang Chong had fixed the ladder, he immediately shouted to the 20,000 troops behind him: "The front army has landed in the city! Quickly! General Zhang Chong needs our support! The rear army is covered by fire!" Zuo Ci's headquarters was immediately divided into two, and 10,000 people rushed to the front of the ladder. Following the ascending troops led by Zhang Chong, they struggled to climb up the ladder, and the other 10,000 people raised their crossbows and aimed at the head of the city in Hanzhong, ready to eliminate the Yizhou army that came out to stop Zhang Chong's headquarters.

In order to attack Hanzhong this time, Yuan Qi deliberately asked Wang Yezi to make this 10,000-handed crossbow, although the range and lethality can not catch up with the Xizi crossbow equipped with elite troops, but it can also be called a high-quality product, the only flaw is that it cannot be fired continuously, and after not firing a crossbow arrow, it needs to be manually reloaded, so the firing interval is not particularly coherent. However, at such a close distance, it is enough to carry out the task of targeted killing.

Fifty paces behind Zuo Ci, the veteran Huang Yong stroked his gray beard, raised his knife and shouted: "Prepare the arrow tower, shoot on your own after a hundred steps close to the city wall, and suppress the Yizhou army at the head of the city! Ballistamen, fire at the head of the city, create a fighter for General Zhang Chong, and never let the enemy raise his head!"

In Huang Yong's old but majestic roar, the arrow tower quickly turned, and after reaching a distance of 100 steps from Hanzhong City, it stopped, leaving a thousand people to guard the bottom of the arrow tower to prevent the enemy soldiers from burning the arrow tower with rockets, and more than 4,000 archers who followed the arrow tower immediately climbed up the arrow tower, stood on the upper, middle and lower floors of the arrow tower respectively, pulled the bow and arrow in their hands, and began to shoot all kinds of arrows at the head of Hanzhong City.

On the side of the arrow tower, five hundred red-clothed ballistas under the control of the ballistas, emitted a terrifying sound of breaking the sky, more than two thousand crossbows with the power of piercing stones and cracking gold, began the first wave of power, roaring across the sky, fiercely shooting towards the city head of Hanzhong, the defenders closest to the city wall, immediately suffered by the crossbow's ruthless penetration, a giant crossbow with the thickness of an arm, often piercing the bodies of more than a dozen sergeants one after another, like a string of rock sugar gourds, connecting their bodies to the crossbow rods, flying out upside down with them for a distance, and nailing them to the ground!

There are also some crossbows at a slightly lower angle when fired, shot on the battlements of the head of Hanzhong City, these crossbows pierced the three-foot-thick battlements, and killed the sergeants hiding behind the battlements through the chest, and then, because the strength was exhausted, the one-zhang long crossbow stayed on the battlements, leaving only a section of crossbow rods about five feet long exposed outside, and the arrow rain made of fine iron still trembled endlessly!

These crossbows with a lower angle are not the deviations of the ballista gunners' abnormal performance, but Huang Yong deliberately did this, these crossbows are firmly on the city wall after being inserted into the battlements, which can act as a handrail for Zhang Chong's climbing troops, so that the enemy soldiers who are about to climb the city have a support, and in the short encounter with the Yizhou army, they can better launch an attack, so that their bodies are suspended in the air and have nowhere to exert their strength.

In addition to controlling the two large-scale weapons of destruction, the arrow tower and the red-clothed ballista, Huang Yong's subordinates also had nearly 10,000 crossbowmen, at this moment, these crossbowmen were divided into four rows, the first row kneeling on the ground, the second row standing behind them two steps away, and at the same time using the method of throwing arrows towards the head of the city of Hanzhong. The third and fourth rows are drawn with bowstrings, ready to take over the positions of their comrades in the first two rows, and when they finish firing the arrows in their hands and retreat to draw the arrows again, they will immediately step forward to fill the position, ensuring that the rain of arrows will not stop, and always suppress the head of Hanzhong City.

At the end of the siege sequence, Gan Jing looked at the burning of the city head of Hanzhong with a hideous smile, shining the city head like a flame in the day, and shouted coldly: "Brothers, add some more ingredients to them!" Gan Jing knew that although the burning knife wine and fire oil were easy to ignite, and could cause a fire in an instant, they also had flaws, that is, the continuous burning time was not long, after all, without fuel, it was impossible to burn for a long time with alcohol and fire oil alone.

The Kirin Elite burst out laughing, pulling the lever of the Thunderbolt again, lowering the tip of the gun, and then adding twice as much oil and burning knife wine to the tip of the gun.
