Chapter 108: Molotov cocktails

Siege three que one, this is the trick of siege warfare.

If the siege is dead, it will only provoke the desperate efforts of the defenders.

Therefore, any siege will leave a way for the defenders to survive, so that they will not be in a hurry and desperate.

But Zhang Niujiao was determined to take Lunu, so he didn't leave a way for the people inside to retreat, and surrounded Lunu like an iron pass, anyway, his troops were very sufficient.

Kill!

Soon, nearly 10,000 people came to the open space crowded into the middle of the moat and the city wall, and the vanguard held the position, and the latter attacked on a ladder.

Get ready to get your hands dirty!

Seeing this situation, Guo Jia ordered the defenders to move.

Everyone was already a little impatient, and when they heard the order of Lord Taishou, arrows and stones rolled down one after another, turning the people who were beaten by the yellow turban thieves in the city on their backs.

Soon piles of corpses fell at the foot of the city walls.

The first attack was frustrated, but the Yellow Turbans were not discouraged, and they quickly regrouped and set up ladders to organize a second siege.

One hundred thousand against a few thousand, they have an absolute superiority in troops.

At this time, the stone throwers of the Yellow Turban Army were also transported outside the moat, and the soldiers were busy preparing to break the city.

Their rock-throwing vehicles are official and military, and their specifications and lethality are not comparable to those made by Guo Jia at all.

"Lord, the Yellow Turban Thief has set up a catapult!"

Dian Wei shouted.

Catapults have a very serious destructive effect on this kind of earthen city wall, especially the kind of large catapult, which is completely the nemesis of the earth city wall.

"They have catapults, and we have catapults."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

As he spoke, the Tiger Guard's men transported catapults to the city.

In other words, in order to increase the attack range of earthen mines, Guo Jia specially built twenty stone throwers.

However, in view of the limited timber and pig iron in Zhongshan, it is impossible to make the behemoth of later generations.

Looking at their own short catapults, and then at the tall catapults in the Yellow Turban Thieves Array, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The larger the frame of the catapult, the greater the range and the more powerful it is.

Compared to the Yellow Turban Thief's catapult, your own catapult is not a threat to others at all.

It's like adults and children, not a heavyweight at all.

"Lord, it's still too late, or I'll let the craftsmen renovate it again."

The Mao steps on the side really couldn't stand it.

Is this kind of stone throwing car used for hair? It's better to lift a stone and smash people.

No more!

Guo Jia waved his hand!

These stone throwers are different from ordinary stone throwers, and they were improved by Guo Jia according to the structure of the Hui Hui cannon in later generations.

Although the frame is small, the range is not small, and of course he is not going to shoot a heavy object like a stone.

Whoosh!

The Yellow Turban Thief's stone throwing truck has begun construction.

But running a rock-throwing truck is a technical job, and it's clear that these Yellow Turban thieves are not very proficient.

The stones that were thrown out were also crooked, and none of them hit the city walls.

Still, cheers were elicited from the siege troops.

These laymen!

Guo Jia's eyes fell on the opponent's rock-throwing truck position, his eyes suddenly narrowed, he visually measured the distance, and adjusted the position of the stone-throwing truck left and right. Then a fist-sized stone was placed on the launch compartment of the catapult.

Sou!

The stone made a perfect arc and landed on the Yellow Turban Thief's catapult position.

The thieves were startled at first, but when they saw the stone launched by Guo Jia, they couldn't help laughing.

Their stone-throwing cart can throw stones weighing one or twenty pounds, while the opponent's stone-throwing machine can only throw such small pieces of stones.

It was simply impossible for such a small piece of stone to destroy their stone-throwing cart.

It's clear at a glance.

"Haha, what a powerful projectile, I'm afraid it will weigh one or two pounds."

"One or two catties, I think it's only about one catty. This kind of stone can't kill people at all. ”

"It's still Guo Jia who is amazing, he can actually make such a powerful city defense equipment."

The people on the city wall also smiled bitterly.

A catapult of this magnitude is useless, and as long as a fist-sized stone cannot hit the vital point, it will not kill a person at all.

"Lord!"

Mao Jie wanted to say something, but when he saw Guo Jia's face showing joy, he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the angle is just right!" ”

As he spoke, he placed the stone-throwing carts one by one, aiming at the Yellow Turban Thief's stone-throwing cart position.

"Send the stuff up!"

Guo Jia waved his hand.

The craftsmen of Taishou Mansion carried boxes of clay pots to the city walls.

What is this?

Everyone was confused.

Although they also knew what Taishou was doing, they didn't know the inside story.

"It's called an incendiary bomb!"

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Incendiary bombs?

The crowd looked at each other again.

Guo Jia reached out and took an incendiary bomb and put it on the magazine of the flying stone car.

Ignite, launch, and do it all in one go.

The clay pot burst into flames and flew towards the Yellow Turban Thieves' Stonecart Position.

"Look, Guo Jia's missile is coming."

"Haha, such a small pill still wants to destroy our flying stone car, it's really wishful thinking."

"Just let him tickle us!"

The Yellow Turban thieves gloated.

At this moment, there was a bang,

The clay pot exploded above their heads.

At the moment of the explosion, a rain of fire was formed, which fell mercilessly on the Yellow Turban Thief's flying stone cart position.

Ahhh

Whether it was a flying stone cart or a yellow turban thief, their bodies were contaminated with the rain of fire, and they burned up in an instant, letting out a miserable cry.

This......

The people on the city walls were stunned.

They never imagined that this small clay pot would have such great power?

Very good!

A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

The so-called incendiary bomb is a mixture of gunpowder and oil, and this clay pot is also specially made. Gunpowder is filled with a tubular entity in the center, and the interlayer is filled with oil. After the ignition of the gunpowder explodes, the oil splashes, increasing the coverage of the ignition.

This is an incendiary bomb specially designed by Guo Jia for the opponent's wooden equipment.

But at this distance, it is necessary to use a catapult to launch.

"Listen to my orders and deliver intensive strikes on the enemy's catapult positions in front."

Guo Jia immediately ordered.

A group of personal soldiers stepped forward, and during this time, they were also forced by Guo Jia to train their stone-throwing skills.

A catapult has three people, one person is responsible for launching, one person is responsible for ignition, and the last person is responsible for safety with a bucket in case of accidents.

Because the gunpowder clay pot is fired, safety is very important, and if something happens, it will be sad.

Fortunately, these people have undergone some training and cooperate very tacitly, and there have been no accidents that killed their own people.

Otherwise, it will become a joke of Tianzi No. 1.

A dense burst of burning clay pots flew towards the Yellow Turban Thieves' stone-throwing cart position.

Crackle!

The clay pot exploded in the sky, enveloping the entire Stonecart's position in a sea of flames.
