Poor Family Chapter 800

  Chapter 800 Life and Death War (4)

  The position of the Feihuo Lei thrower is very particular. He must be on the side of the siege ladder. When throwing, he needs to lean out and guard against cold arrows under the city. Therefore, he must shoot quickly, calmly and decisively, and hit it with one blow.

  In front of a siege ladder in the west section of Beicheng, a young thrower has entered his seat. His name is Liu Kang, from Caizhou. He is only seventeen years old this year, and he is the youngest among a thousand throwers.

At this time, Liu Kang was only two feet away from the siege ladder of a golden soldier, which was the best distance. He looked at the siege ladder carefully, then squatted down, put the two fire mines together, and put the fire rope together. It is also lightly twisted together. If you have not been trained, you really need two cooperation, one is responsible for ignition, and the other is responsible for throwing thunder, but after training, basically everyone can operate with one skillfully.

Liu Kang half-kneeled on the ground, pulled out a torch from the torch on his back waist, and flicked it casually, the torch immediately ignited. He switched the torch to his left hand and lit the matchstick. Several soldiers stared at him blankly, wondering what he was doing?

  Liu Kang smiled slightly, "This is a new type of firearm, specially designed to deal with siege ladders!"

  Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately gathered around. Liu Kang shouted, "Brothers, step aside, my younger brother has made a move!"

  Everyone got out of the way, Liu Kang held the top of the wall with his left hand, and when the fire rope reached the red line, he leaned out, saw very accurately, and slammed the copper rod vigorously, 'Wow! ' With a sound, Feihuolei's iron ring slipped out of the copper rod.

  Fei Huolei circled towards the siege ladder, and the iron chain hit the main stem of the siege ladder, and the two fire thunders immediately entangled the trunk, only to hear 'boom! boom! ' There were two explosions, and the siege ladder was blown into two sections, and a dozen golden soldiers on the ladder fell down the city screaming.

  The soldiers on the top of the city immediately cheered, it was simply an amazing firearm.

  The Feihuolei's shots were extraordinary. Except for the three series of Feihuo Lei that failed, the other 97 series of Feihuo Lei exploded on the siege ladders, destroying nearly a hundred siege ladders.

The news reached Wanyan Loushi immediately. In fact, Wanyan Loushi saw the siege ladders snapping with his own eyes. Shi also guessed a little bit, and when the soldiers reported to him that the ladder was blown up by a new type of firearm, Wanyan Loushi's face immediately darkened.

   "Add two hundred more siege ladders!" Wanyan Loushi ordered immediately.

  Although the Jin soldiers had thousands of siege ladders, the loss of a hundred siege ladders was nothing to them, but if the Song army really had the firearms to deal with the siege ladders, the consequences would be serious.

  Wanyan Loushi immediately steered his horse towards the banner of Marshal Du. As soon as he arrived in front of Wanyan Xieye, he was questioned by Wanyan Xieye: "Why did the siege ladder suddenly break?"

  Wanyan Loushi clasped his fists and said: "Report to Marshal Du, the Song army has launched a new type of firearm, which seems to be specially designed to deal with siege ladders, and it is very sharp."

  Wan Yanxie also changed his face immediately, and said half aloud: "Increase the siege force, and increase the siege method, you can use the thunderbolt to blow up the city gate in the melee, and the nest car can also be thrown into the battlefield!"

   "Humble post obeys orders!"

  Wanyan Loushi was about to leave when Wanyan Xie stopped him again, "How is the Dilong Project going?"

   "It's in progress, it's almost on the brink, and it will be opened tonight at the latest. Zongwang is organizing civilians to cut off several rivers in Bianjing, and the water from the moat will probably be diverted away in the afternoon."

  Wan Yanxie also nodded, "Try to hide this matter as much as possible, and try to be safe. This is our last move, and there is no room for loss!"

   "The humble job understands!"

   After Yan Loushi saluted, he rode his horse and galloped away.

  Wan Yanxie also looked at the top of the city again, and shouted: "Use the trebuchet to attack again!"

Jin Bing stepped up his progress, increased the number of siege ladders to 300, and 35,000 troops rushed towards the top of the city like a tidal wave. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and at the same time, the huge figures of ten nest wagons also appeared in the distance.

Jin Bing invested another 100 heavy trebuchets, firing kerosene from two hundred steps away to the city, but Jin Bing's heavy trebuchets were all dismantled from the outer city wall and put into the battlefield temporarily, unlike the previous eight The ten giant trebuchets were transported from Daming Mansion and built by Jin Bing himself. Both the design and the test are perfect, and they can accurately hit the target.

But a hundred heavy-duty trebuchets are far from achieving this effect, and the throwing effect is not significant. In the first round of a hundred kerosene barrels thrown out, only seven kerosene barrels hit the top of the city, and most of the others deviated from it. The target, either flew over the top of the city and flew into the city, or smashed into the city wall, followed by the fireball, except for a few fires on the top of the city, the city became a sea of ​​flames, and the golden soldiers retreated one after another , Many Jin soldiers were unable to retreat in time and were burned to death by the fire.

   "Stop the fire attack!"

Wanyan Loushi immediately stopped the catapult fire attack. He watched a dozen golden soldiers who were covered in fire struggling to escape, fell down and curled up from being burned. Wanyan Loushi's face was very ugly, dissatisfied Wanyan also glanced in the direction.

  As Marshal Du, Wan Yanxie can also propose an attack plan, but how to attack is his own business and should be arranged by himself. Marshal Du directly ordered the fire attack, not to mention accidentally hurting his own army, obviously stretching his hand too far.

The catapult fire attack immediately stopped, and Wanyan Xie probably also knew that he hadn't thought carefully, so he didn't interfere any more. Immediately, Wanyan Loushi ordered more than a dozen soldiers to take five thunderbolts to scatter in the crowd, to the old Touch the jujube door.

Jin Bing's fire attack mistake was also beyond Li Yanqing's expectation. Fire oil is a sharp weapon that can be used for both offense and defense. Of course, using fire oil to defend is also a good strategy. It's worse than Fei Huo Lei, but it's a pity that it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. The kerosene warehouse in the capital is in the outer city. The Jin soldiers attacked the outer city too quickly, and thousands of barrels of kerosene were too late to bring back. As a result, there was almost no kerosene stock in the inner city, only the Firearms Bureau There are more than 300 barrels of kerosene for testing firearms in the warehouse, which is all the kerosene stock in the inner city.

  Looking at the raging fire outside the city, Li Yanqing couldn't help but secretly sighed. If the inner city had enough kerosene reserves to keep burning under the city walls, what city could the golden soldiers attack?

The golden soldiers retreated to the outside of the moat, and began to increase the crossbowmen to shoot at the city head. Ten thousand golden soldiers fired arrows at the city head at the same time, and 8,000 crossbowmen from the city head shot down the city. The dense raindrops of arrows weaved into a big net, and it was like a plague of locusts coming. Soldiers on and off the city kept falling to the ground with arrows. The archer was caught off guard, and was immediately blown to pieces, causing heavy casualties.

   This was the moment when the Jin soldiers suffered the heaviest casualties. In just a quarter of an hour, more than 4,000 people were killed by the thunder.

  The morale of the Jin soldiers gradually weakened and they began to retreat. Wanyan Loushi ordered 5,000 cavalry to monitor the battle behind.

  After a quarter of an hour, the fire under the city gradually extinguished, and the low-pitched horns of the golden soldiers blew. Thirty thousand golden soldiers took up the siege ladder and started a new round of climbing attacks.

  Xu Ning was in charge of fighting in the eastern section. At this moment, a soldier rushed to report: "An abnormal gold soldier was found under the old Suanzao gate."

  Xu Ning hurriedly ran to the Suanzao Gate and looked over. A soldier pointed to a group of Jin soldiers by the wall and said, "That's them, sneaky and sneaky, they don't look like the enemy soldiers in Pancheng!"

There were about a dozen soldiers by the city wall, clinging to the city wall and approaching the city gate a little bit. Xu Ning looked like a torch. He found that five of the golden soldiers were carrying a large leather bag, which was bulging like a winter melon , Xu Ning sneered, needless to say, Jin Bing wanted to blow up the city with Thunderbolt again, it seems that they had learned their lesson and used waterproof leather bags to hold Thunderbolt.

  Xu Ning sneered, turned around and ordered: "Smash them over with a rolling log, and then pour water on them!"

Immediately, dozens of soldiers rushed up carrying the logs, and before the dozen soldiers below could react, dozens of logs from above slammed on their heads. The soldiers below were caught off guard and were hit by the logs, screaming Falling to the ground, several soldiers carrying Zhentian were smashed to pieces, and rolled and fell into the moat.

  At this moment, there was a loud shout from the top of the city, and in the distance, ten nest cars like giant beasts were slowly approaching the top of the city.
