Chapter 448: Breaking Through the Outer City

The Shu soldiers were stunned, what kind of situation is this, it doesn't rain in the sky, and the jar is changed? And this jar is not an ordinary crockpot, it catches fire when it lands, is there such an evil thing?

In fact, the Shu soldiers were not allowed to consider the reason at all, and those crockpots came whizzing, smashing them on the ground and splashing oil everywhere. There was even a direct smash on the top of the head of the Shu soldiers, and the guy with the inverted frieze immediately became a fire man, wailing in pain and running around, but the fire oil could not be extinguished at all, and the others could only watch him being burned alive.

Countless clay pots fell, and the entire golden city was already reduced to a sea of fire, and the Shu soldiers fled in all directions, and those who could not escape would be burned to death by fire.

Liu Yin was shocked, but he didn't believe in any fire pot falling from the sky at all, and such a strange thing could only be attributed to someone climbing the mountain above them.

Yanagi looked up at the cliff, because the cliff was too vertical and high, Yanagaku had to tilt his head high to see the situation on the mountain in front of him.

As expected, many Wei soldiers climbed up on the top of the mountain, and they were throwing clay pots into the golden city in turn, and the fire in the city was their masterpiece.

The power of the fierce oil fire pot is quite large, after a fire pot is broken, it can make a range of one zhang be covered by fire, and dozens of fire pots burn together, which is equivalent to half of the city is reduced to a sea of fire.

Liu Yin never expected that the Wei army would use such a trick, it was simply impossible to prevent it, although there were several large urns on the head of the Golden City, which were full of water, just to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire, but the fire was too fierce, and it was difficult to save the fire with this little water alone.

What's more, the crockpots are filled with oil, which can be burned in itself, and it is difficult to extinguish it with water, and the Wei army on the mountain kept throwing it down, and the fire burned one after another, and the entire city fell into chaos.

Liu Yin couldn't help but be a little anxious, now that the Wei army is attacking the city, there is chaos in the city, the situation is not good, if the Wei army launches a strong attack at this time, it will be difficult for the Shu army to resist.

No wonder the Wei army is attacking the city casually today, it turns out that they are waiting for this hand, Liu Yin can't help but regret it, if he knew that the Wei army would throw a fierce oil fire pot from the top of the mountain, he should have taken precautions as soon as possible, and did not let the Wei army easily climb the cliff.

But now it's too late to say anything, Liu Yin can't sit back and watch the loss of the Golden Siege, so he can only command the Shu army to forcibly extinguish the fire, and at the same time strengthen the defense to prevent the Wei army from taking the opportunity to attack the city.

However, everything was too late, Cao Liang was waiting for the moment when the fire started, and the head of the Golden City was on fire, and Cao Liang ordered someone to beat the war drums of the attack, and the Wei army, which had been using it as a tentative attack, immediately became vigorous, and rushed towards the Golden City like a tide, launching the most fierce offensive.

Everyone knows that attacking the city at this moment is a godsend, the fire on the head of the city makes the Shu army defending the city flawless, how can it still take care of the Wei soldiers who are attacking the city, and now who is the first to attack the head of the golden siege, it is a great credit for nothing.

Therefore, the Wei army was everyone vying for the lead, all of them were brave, and they spared no effort to rush towards Jinwei, the war drums rumbled, shouting to kill the sky, and swallowed like a tiger.

Liu Yin was a little anxious, he desperately commanded the Shu army to rush to the city wall to block the attack of the Wei army, but in the case of the raging fire, it was difficult for the Shu army to organize an effective defense.

The first Wei soldiers rushed to the head of the city, and then more Wei soldiers swarmed in and climbed the city wall one after another.

Fang Bu saw on the top of the mountain that the Wei army had landed on the top of the city at this moment, so he stopped the "bombardment" of the city head, and instead threw the fierce oil fire canister into the dense place of the Shu army.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Liu Yin immediately ordered the Shu soldiers to retreat on all fronts and retreat to the inner city.

The inner city fortress of the Golden Siege, when Zhang Lu built the Golden Pass, did not build it, until after the founding of the Shu State, in order to deal with the threat from the three eastern counties, another inner city was built in the Golden Siege, with a radius of only fifty zhang, and the building structure like a fortress was adopted.

The construction of the inner city fortress has greatly improved the defensive ability of the Golden Siege, under normal circumstances, after the outer city wall is breached, the city will be lost, but the Golden Siege is different, it is precisely because the grain, grass, materials and ordnance it is stored in the inner city, so even if the outer city is lost, the defenders can also retreat to the inner city to do long-term holding.

The inner city of the Golden Siege is not like a city, but it is very similar to the more common dock fort in the Guanzhong area, the houses in the fort are connected, there is hardly a vacant land to be seen, the outer wall is high, there are enemy towers and bunkers, and the defense facilities are complete.

Liu Yin saw that the outer city was indeed unable to hold it, and once the Wei army poured in in a large number of men and horses, losing the advantage of city defense, it would be difficult for the Shu army to resist.

So he simply abandoned the outer city and ordered the remnants of the army to quickly retreat to the inner city and continue to hold on.

This is also Liu Yin's last reliance, if the inner city is lost again, then the Golden Siege will be completely lost.

The retreat of the Shu army was very fast, and it can be seen that they usually carry out such retreat drills, and the whole retreat process is quite skillful.

The excitement of the Wei army after breaking through the outer city wall has not disappeared, and the rapid retreat of the Shu army is insufficient, and by the time they try to pursue, the Shu army has all retreated to the inner city, and closed the gate of the inner city, rearranged the defensive line, and waited for the battle.

Yanghu followed the second batch of Wei troops who entered the city to climb the city wall along the ladder, at this time, the fire at the head of the city has been greatly attenuated, and the city has seen the traces of the Shu army, Liu Yin led the remnants of the Shu army has all retreated to the inner city.

The walls of the inner city were tall and solid, and their height was even a few feet higher than the outer city walls, and instead of attacking easily, Yanghu ordered the Wei army to open the city gates and welcome Cao Liang and others into the city.

Successfully broke through the Golden Siege, the generals of the Wei army were all elated, and when the city gate opened, everyone surrounded Cao Liang into the city together, and they were all praising Cao Liang's clever plan, if it wasn't for Cao Liang sending people to climb the cliff and throw a fierce oil fire pot into the Golden Siege, how could the Wei army easily break through the Golden Siege?

This kind of whimsical stroke of genius, I'm afraid only Cao Liang can think of it, no one who has gone through the art of war has never seen the same battle example, and the fight is not only wonderful and beautiful, but also unprecedented.

However, after everyone entered the city, they were collectively dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.
