Chapter 374: Luoyang City's Bloody Attack and Defense Battle (Part II)

The tidal wave of soldiers climbed over the sheep and horse wall, and looked down from the city, and the narrow area between the sheep and horse wall and the city wall was densely packed with sardine-like human heads. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ladders were lifted with difficulty from the side of the sheep and horse wall, and the hungry soldiers with yellow and thin faces wrapped in red scarves on their heads, wearing felt hats and holding shields and broadswords, were crowded together with each other. Suddenly, there were their crazy eyes and hideous looks.

Seeing that the open space between the sheep and horse walls and the city wall was about to be filled by them, and the ladders were about to be erected, and suddenly there was a loud sound of rockets firing from the city. In the sound of falling and falling, a large area of smoke rose up, and countless arrows rained down the city.

The arrows were dense and fierce, and under the impetus of gunpowder, they were in front of those intruders in a blink of an eye.

Those hungry soldiers who resisted the ladder did not even have basic equipment, not to mention no armor on their bodies, and they did not hold a single sword or spear. Even the intruders wearing felt hats, they were originally officers and soldiers who surrendered to the thieves, or strong men who had been hungry for a long time, and the shields they held in their hands were just ordinary leather shields or even wooden shields, and their equipment was simple.

As for the hungry soldiers who followed them and made a mess, they were slightly better than those who fought against the ladder, with weapons in their hands. Of course, it was just a simple spear, and many people didn't even have a spear, holding some bamboo guns and wooden sticks in their hands, and some people held the lid of the pot as a shield.

This is how the siege army is formed, and the elite horse army and the old battalion are of course impossible to participate in the siege. It is also the army that knows that siege warfare is not as good as field warfare, and the main force of this wave is those foot soldiers who have some battlefield experience, and then threaten the hungry people with great momentum.

In the face of the dense rockets, those intruders subconsciously raised their shields to cover them, and the sound of waves continued, and their shields were instantly filled with all kinds of arrows.

The strength of the rockets was extraordinary, and the direct shot made their hands numb and tremble, and many of them even had their shields broken. Or those who can't cover it are shot by rockets, and many people are shot and rolled out, and the battle skirts or coats on their bodies do not provide much protection at all.

The foot soldiers were shot to the ground one by one, and many of them were people who had been digging in the soil not long ago, and they didn't know how to react when the stormy rockets came. Subconsciously wanted to find something to cover up, but found that there was no tool in hand at all, and some people hurriedly hid behind their partners, but everyone was thinking like this, and they couldn't help but make a mess.

The screams were incessant, and the sheep and horse walls were already crowded with people, providing the most lethality to the rockets in the city, and the hungry soldiers who had been hit by the arrows fell to the ground and wailed loudly, and the ladders that had been carried fell to the ground one after another.

In particular, those who had just been hit by arrows on the wall of sheep and horses fell like ears of wheat blown by the wind, and they either fell to the ground or fell backwards, and many even rolled into the moat. In just a moment, the area was already covered with wounded people and corpses, and the choking smell of blood spread rapidly.

The courage of many hungry soldiers was suddenly lost, and many turned and retreated, only to be unceremoniously cut to the ground by the intruders beside them. Moreover, there are too many attacking troops, and there are hundreds of ladders in front and behind them, and behind those earthen platforms, there are still many formations of intruding soldiers.

It is because this wave of arrow rain has lost dozens of ladders in front of it, and it is still not touched by the overall situation, and it is impossible for the rocket inventory in Luoyang City to continue such firepower. In the blink of an eye, many more ladders were carried into the sheep and horse walls, or large groups of hungry soldiers were driven in and re-lifted the ladders scattered on the ground.

After the previous wave, the rockets in the city were thinned, and the thieves were about to cheer when they saw that the ladders were about to be erected. Suddenly, countless bottles and cans fell from the city, and in the air, some white powder was already scattered towards the city.

Many hungry soldiers smelled a choking smell and were still in a daze, when suddenly a shrill howl rang out: "Ash bottle, close your eyes." ”

I saw bottles like raindrops falling from the city, falling to the ground and exploding, and the lime powder in it spread out, and for a time white mist shrouded everywhere. Listening to the mournful screams, many soldiers, whether hungry soldiers or foot soldiers, threw everything in their hands and rolled and howled on the ground with their eyes covered.

"My eyes ......"

The bottles and cans thrown from the city were ash bottles, which were the weapons of the city guards, and contained lime. The ash flasks fell from the city and exploded one by one, choking lime powder flying everywhere in the cold wind. The lime invades the eyes, and the pain is unbearable immediately, making people unable to open their eyes at all, and after a long time, it is the end of blindness. ,

Usually my eyes are hit by quicklime, and I can't wash them with water, so I have to use vegetable oil, but when I am besieging the city, where can I find vegetable oil? Moreover, in these troubled times, perhaps a pound of vegetable oil is worth more than a human life. It is that the generals of the invading army understand that this can save their injured soldiers, and they are not necessarily willing to use it.

Pools of white powder on the ground, and many of the intruders had patches of white on their heads and bodies. Even if they avoided the vital points of the eyes, they all coughed and had difficulty breathing.

Caught off guard, many of the intruders were struck by the move, they either covered their eyes and screamed on the ground, or coughed and scurried, and saw the dense intrusive army under the city like ants on a hot pot in a mess.

Seeing the situation under the city, Wang Yinchang was overjoyed, and he shouted loudly: "Hit the stone, launch." ”

Listening to his order, Yang Shoubei beside him hurriedly passed down his order.

There are a dense number of small stone throwers on the city wall, and next to them, there are piles of stones of various sizes. Gathered next to the stone thrower were the brave soldiers of the countryside who assisted in defending the city, although they had not gone through any battle formations, but they had no problem throwing some ash bottles and stones.

Hearing Wang Yinchang and Yang Shoubei's order, they hurriedly moved the stone into the throwing spoon, and no matter what the target, they threw it to the city. And the villagers who originally threw ash bottles were even more energetic.

Not to mention that the city was originally densely packed with siege troops, there was no need to aim at any target, plus countless ash bottles were laid, and the city was full of white and blurred vision, how could those invading troops see the raindrops of stones thrown down on the city?

The ash bottle was laid, and the dense rocks fell from the air, and the howls of the infiltrating people under the city were heard, and many of the intrusive troops who were scurrying were directly hit by the thrown stones.

Many of the stones thrown down were dozens of pounds, and they fell from a height of more than ten meters, and they were so fierce that they hit the end of broken tendons. Many of the invading soldiers were hit in the head, and were even smashed into rotten flesh at once, and some of the invading soldiers hurriedly raised their shields, but they were also smashed to the point of vomiting blood and fractures.

Many of the stones were carved into the shape of a round bulge, and when they fell from the city, they jumped and rolled on the ground, and even broke the feet of many soldiers.

The army outside the wall is too dense, that is, some of the township warriors have outstanding arm strength, and they don't need a stone thrower to lift a stone and throw it down, and they can also smash a soldier without leaving ten.

The city wall rained down like ash bottles and stones, and the soldiers became more and more chaotic, and the people around them either covered their eyes and howled, or were smashed into pulp by the stones. By this time, the courage of the soldiers inside the sheep and horse walls had disappeared.

Whether it was a hungry soldier or a foot soldier, they all threw down the ladder or weapon shield in their hands and fled back like headless flies.

However, it is easy to come in and difficult to get out, on the inner side of the moat, the "sheep and horse wall" thirty steps away from the city wall is about one zhang high, that is, three meters. But on the inside of the sheep and horse wall, there is nothing.

If you want to jump over the three-meter-high wall at once, you can't jump over it, except for a few people, most of the intruders don't have this ability. Not to mention that according to the inertia of the charge, there are still dense intruders behind to continue to rush. One wanted to come in, the other wanted to go out, and under the crowd, there was a mess, and I don't know how many people were trampled to death on the spot.

Looking at the appearance of those thieves under the city, the Ming army in the city cheered. Especially those social soldiers at the head of the city, they are all children of wealthy families, and they have a natural hatred for the peasant army.

Finally, the wave of intruders came to an end with a fierce tiger-like charge, and the active intruders all retreated into the earthen platform, leaving only corpses and wounded people all over the ground inside and outside the sheep and horse walls, as well as a ladder thrown to the ground.

……

The quicklime mist and dust that filled the air when the ash bottle was thrown down had been dispersed, and all the soldiers who could escape within the sheep and horse walls had also escaped, looking at the tragic scenery under the city, Wu Zhengchun couldn't help but twitch in his heart: "It's really miserable......"

Outside the city, the distance between the city wall and the sheep and horse wall is full of piles of meat and mud parts, and there are many stumps and broken arms, and there are scattered large intestines and small intestines. The corpses were layered on top of each other, especially on the side of the sheep and horse wall, and many of the corpses were in the shape of fragments, apparently trampled to death while fleeing for their lives.

The ground was covered with blood, puddles of dark red blood, shining with an icy glow in the cold wind. Apparently, the blood had flowed from the wounded and corpses of the intruders, and had quickly condensed into ice in the freezing weather. ,

With the disgusting smell of blood, there were bursts of desperate moans and cries in the wind. Many of the intruders in the city who had their hands and feet broken by the stones, injured their bodies, or whose eyes were blinded by lime, could not escape, but sat in tears and waited for their death.

Beside them, there were many intruders with their faces covered in lime powder, dragging their bloody legs, crawling around on the ground with difficulty, their eyes could not see, they just subconsciously called for help to their side, and then no one paid attention to them.

Looking at the tragic situation under the city, and the smell of blood spread to the city, the cheers of the Ming army in the city slowly lowered, and many people began to vomit, especially those township brave soldiers, many people experienced this bloody scene for the first time, where could they bear it, some people kept vomiting until they couldn't even vomit bile.

Wu Zhengchun silently looked at the outside of the city, that is, he had been fighting for a long time, his mind was as hard as iron, and his heart was sour, thinking: "In the troubled world, human life is like grass mustard, if there is no general Dingguo, I must be like the corpse below." As a frightened starving person died uneventfully, there was a grave without a tombstone when it was lucky. In the unfortunate case, the carcass may be eaten by wild dogs or enter the belly of others. ”

His mind flew out, and most of the dead thieves below were just flat-headed people who were digging in the soil. Most people's wishes are just to have a bite to eat, winter is coming, there are clothes and bedding to be warm, and the family is safe, so why not be the case?

It's just that in the troubled times, I was luckier than them, and I entered the Shunxiang Army, and the territory where I was located was also governed by General Dingguo, so my family was too safe and happy. If you are coerced into the rule of a thief or a military leader, your fate is not necessarily better than theirs.

He said silently in his heart: "I wish to follow the general's command and let the world be peaceful as soon as possible."

Wu Zhengchun's army was used as the most critical juncture of the city defense, and he did not participate in the war, but everyone in the city saw the situation in the city, and the face of the new army under his command was a little unsightly, after all, the scene under the city was too bloody, and after this army was trained, it was the first time to see such a scene, and it was normal to have this reaction.

However, Wu Zhengchun believes that war can best train people, and if he has seen too many bloody scenes like this, he will not have any special reaction when he sees similar scenes in the future.

As for the commanders, captains, officers, and generals in his army, all the veterans who participated in the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pinggu were at ease with the scene in front of them.

Everyone pointed and pointed, but whispered about the comparison, and they all said that the city's punctual ash bottle and stone shooting effect was good, comparable to artillery, and more than the shooting of firecrackers. The sheep and horse wall is even better, and it has the tendency to catch turtles in the urn when facing the enemy.

Wang Yinchang and Yang Shoubei's faces were also a little pale, but their expressions were more excited, after all, the attack of the army just now was too scary, but without the participation of the Shunxiang army, they still repelled the attack of the thieves.

Wang Yinchang stroked his beard and laughed: "A thief is nothing more than that." ”

Yang Shoubei hurriedly said: "This is all the work of the military constitution to plan and command. ”

After saying that, he was triumphant, glanced at the Shunxiang army next to him who was still standing straight, and then glanced at Wu Zhengchun, the battle of Fang Cai can be said to show his face in front of this world-famous strong army, and he feels very proud when he thinks about it.

Hearing Yang Shoubei's words, Wang Yinchang laughed even more, and felt uneasy when he thought about it, so he asked Wu Zhengchun: "Mr. Wu Qian, in your opinion, the thieves are angry and no longer attack the city?" Can you send people out of the city and destroy all the weapons that the thieves have left behind? ”

As a soldier, he asked Wu Zhengchun, the little Qianzong, so warmly, it can be said that his posture was extremely low, and he saw that Yang Shoubei was very envious.

Accompanying Wang Dou, the civil officials and military generals of the Ming Dynasty were very respectful to the generals of the Shunxiang Army, and Wu Zhengchun had seen a lot, and he didn't have any special feelings. However, he is calm and cautious, and he has never lost his manners to outsiders, and if he changed Shen Shiqi, he would have already swaggered and accepted it.

Hearing that Wu Zhengchun gave Wang Yinchang a slight salute, he stared at the army in the distance for a while, shook his head and said: "Although the thief has suffered a small setback, his momentum will not fall, the next wave of offensive is in front of him, and it is too late to destroy the thief's equipment." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the war drums of the invading army behind the earthen platform, and in the thunderous shout, countless intruders rushed like a tide.

Looking at the sea of people outside the city, looking at their inevitable momentum, it seems that a wave of offensive will not stop, Wu Zhengchun can't help but compare the Tartar soldiers with the rogues in his heart, maybe the advantage of the thieves is that they can spare their lives, which the Tartar soldiers can't compare.

He sighed inwardly: "Perhaps, the army under his command will be about to enter the war." ”,

……

The artillery of the intrusive army on the earthen platform was again fired violently to cover the troops besieging the city, and under the heavy bombardment of their artillery, the officers and soldiers in the battlements had to hide again. Under the tactics of crowds, it is meaningless to bombard the opponent's foot soldiers, if they fire at their artillery, their artillery is set up on one earthen platform after another, and the officers and soldiers in the city will not take advantage of it.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the intruders soon rushed beyond the sheep and horse wall, and the ladders that had been scattered on the ground were lifted again. When they crossed into the sheep and horse wall one by one, under the shouting and command of the officers, the ladder inside was also lifted by the hungry soldiers.

Beside each ladder, there were many intruders armed with broadswords and shields, and their nervous and vicious eyes could be seen from the city walls.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were much more relaxed about this wave of attack, and everyone wanted to wait for the old trick to be repeated, first using rockets, and then using ash bottles and rocks to deal with it. However, Wu Zhengchun at the head of the city frowned, as if this wave of invading troops had learned a lesson, but it was not so easy to deal with.

Wu Zhengchun could see clearly that the soldiers under the city, whether they were hungry soldiers or foot soldiers, all covered their faces with cloths, presumably so, the effectiveness of the ash bottle was reduced by several layers. And if the eyes and nose are fine, the effect of using the stone will not be so good, after all, with long eyes, you know how to dodge danger, a big stone falls from the sky, and the clever person can still dodge.

And just as the officers and soldiers at the head of the city were about to lean out and release their arrows, a thunder sounded in the army formation outside the sheep and horse wall, and a large number of rockets roared in the smoke rising from a large area. Rockets and arrows are famous for their love of flying around, but many of these large arrows still come in from the battlements of the city walls.

Those garrison officers and soldiers who were probing their brains to the outside world, and the soldiers of the Township Brave Society, suddenly many of them were hit by arrows and rolled out, and screams of pain resounded in the city.

The Ming army in the city was in a panic, and the officers under the command of Yang Garrison hurriedly ordered to pay attention to dodge, and ordered the soldiers to return fire with rockets, bows and arrows, birds, etc. The gunners in the city wanted to open fire more, but the guns in the city couldn't hit the intruders so close due to the angle problem.

There was a burst of mutual fire between the top and bottom of the city, and on the side of the moat on the outside of the sheep and horse wall, the intruders under the cover of layers of shields kept firing rockets at the head of the city, and their firepower was very fierce, and it seemed that they did not mind depleting all the rockets they had captured.

Among the flying rockets and arrows were some bows and arrows, even bird guns or three-eyed guns.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The sound of a bird bursting like a bean at the head of the city sounded, and a large white smoke rose up, and I saw that the intruders on the other side of the moat who fired rockets fell in a large area, and their layers of shields were shattered piece by piece, and many of the intruders burst out of blood mist, staggering backwards and falling out.

The intruders over there were in a panic, and all kinds of rockets, bows and arrows were greatly weakened, but it was the Shunxiang military birds at the head of the city who finally opened fire, and as soon as they shot, they gave the intruders under the city a dismount.

There were always 400 birds and soldiers under Wu Zhengchun's command, and at this time, everyone put down the iron masks on their iron helmets, and they each lived at the battlement, divided into four layers and fired. Layer after layer, in a deafening bang, the intruder archers and rocketeers on the other side were either in a mess, or shouted for more shields.

The fine armor of these Shunxiang soldiers has long made the officers and soldiers of Luoyang at the head of the city envious, and the armor on any small soldier is comparable to the armor of the local officers and generals. At this time, watching them open fire, it is even more breathtaking, such fierce birds, accurate and ruthless, thick shields can be easily broken, and their quasi-heads are too high.

Hearing the sound of "pop" again, the leader of the army on the other side of the sheep and horse wall moat suddenly exploded his head, the felt hat on his head was connected with blood clots, and his bones were splashed, and the whole person fell backwards heavily, falling to the ground at once.

The city and the city seemed to be quiet, and Yang Garrison, who was commanding and shouting loudly, also subconsciously glanced at the enemy tower not far from the right.

There are 39 horse faces in the whole Luoyang City, and each horse face is dozens of steps apart, so that the enemies besieging the city are within the killing range of the weapons on the city. On each horse face, there are also enemy towers looking at the enemy's situation, the enemy buildings are several stories high, brick and stone structure, the top floor, there are perforations in all four directions.

As early as after Wu Zhengchun led his ironclad army to the city, some of his army had some bird-gun soldiers holding a long, metallic luster, strange bird gun that didn't need a fire rope and went up to various enemy towers. Obviously, it was those Shunxiang soldiers who opened fire in the enemy building. ,

"What kind of bird guns are they, so far, so accurate?"

Yang Shoubei's mind was racing, and he noticed that the Shunxiang army bird guns on the various enemy towers were fighting extremely accurately, and many rogue officers in the city, as well as archers, rocketeers, or stronger soldiers, only in a short time, fell one after another under their bird guns.

"If they hit me with that kind of bird, it's nearly a hundred steps, and I probably won't be able to escape, right?"

Yang Shoubei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, seeing that the black crowd under the city was about to fill the area between the sheep and horse wall and the city wall, and the rain of rogue arrows on the side of the sheep and horse wall was also greatly weakened. He shouted the order: "Ash bottle stone preparation"

……

Another raindrop of ash bottles fell from the sky, and when they burst to the ground, streams of fine white ash spread out. Then, the same raindrops of rocks fell from the sky. Outside the city, a scream sounded that Yang Shoubei had been waiting for for a long time.

However, to the disappointment of the Ming army in the city, the effect of this attack on the ash bottle stone was not as good as the last time. The hungry soldiers and foot soldiers who covered their faces with cloth like ants still leaned towards the city wall with ladders.

Seeing that the ladders were about to be erected, countless intruders were about to cheer, and suddenly countless round, black and flickering objects fell from the sky. It is as large as a skull, like iron but not iron, with a handle at one end and a long lead rope at the other end, and each lead rope is burning at this time.

Looking at these fallen objects, some of the hungry soldiers of the invading army were still curious, and they didn't know what it was, and some of the foot soldiers who had fallen into the invading army were scattered, and many of them screamed loudly, letting out different moans and cries.

"Ten thousand enemies are ...... ten thousand enemies"

One loud bang after another, the sound of the explosion was like a cannon, but when it exploded, it was different from those solid iron balls.

These round, black and flickering things fell in the crowd of intruders, and the rope burned to the end, and there was a loud bang, and countless iron thistles, gravel, broken iron and other things in it flew out with the thick smoke, and the flesh and blood of those intruders were blown up, and many people covered their heads and faces on the ground and rolled and howled.

Listening to a loud noise outside the city, mixed with the frightened screams of the intruders, the Ming army in the city laughed again, not to mention that those village brave soldiers threw ash bottles and stones even more, the garrison officers and soldiers in the city also ignited 10,000 enemies one by one, and threw them to the crowded places under the city, and shouted from time to time: "Kill these thieves." ”

Wu Zhengchun also paid attention to this weapon to defend the city, there were several large wooden boxes on the city wall, which were full of these black and flickering things, if Wang Dou was there, he would know that these things were actually grenades in later generations, but the appearance was a little different, because the things in front of him were too big. The round pig iron balls are larger than the head, containing several catties of gunpowder, one end is a thick hemp rope or a bamboo handle wooden handle, and the other end is a lead rope.

Perhaps this "10,000 enemies" is a little more professional, so it was thrown by those Luoyang garrison officers, one grabbed the wooden handle, the other lit the rope, and then threw it down the city. Every "10,000 enemies" thrown down, it blew up the intruders under the city and howled wolves.

Wu Zhengchun admired in his heart that this "10,000 enemies" had strong explosive power, shrapnel flew far away, and injured many enemies, and it was indeed a sharp weapon used to defend the city.

However, at the moment, it is not used in the Shunxiang army, after all, the "grenade" larger than the head is quite heavy, and even the strong man can't throw it far. The Shunxiang Army has been fighting field battles all these years, and throwing these "grenades" in field battles may have more cases of blowing up their own people.

Wu Zhengchun has been in the Shunxiang army for many years, and he also knows a lot about many weapons, and the "ten thousand enemies" are called the earth-shaking thunder in Xuanfu Town, and I heard that it has been handed down from the Song Dynasty, and many cities in Xuanfu Town have been used.

It seems that when he came out with the general to conquer the Liukou, the East Road Military Factory also began to make some earth-shattering thunder, because of the perfection of the gunpowder formula, I heard that the appearance is smaller than the current ten thousand enemies, but the power is greater.

The Ming army at the head of the city ran back and forth under the command of the soldier Wang Yinchang and Yang Garrison, and the gray bottle and stone were constantly thrown out, and the intrusive army outside the city wall suffered heavy casualties, but their crowd tactics played a powerful role, and there were still many ladders leaning towards the city wall.

"The thief's ladder came up, and he used a battering rod and a fork to ......."

At a battlement, a bunch of township warriors gathered here, and under the shouts of a hundred garrison officers and soldiers, several villagers used forks to resist the ladder to the death, preventing the ladder from leaning against the city. Then several sturdy social soldiers carried a thick bamboo pole with a big thick head on the head, and they shouted slogans and rushed viciously at the ladder.

There was a bang, and the battering rod hit the head of the ladder hard, but there were many hungry soldiers below to support it, and the heavy ladder was still knocked over. Seeing that the ladder was pressed head-on, the intruders below ran quickly, but there were still more than a dozen intruders who had no time to escape and were crushed to death and crushed by the falling ladder. ,

Under the impact of the bumping rod on the city, one by one the ladders that came up were overturned and fell, but more and more ladders came up, and many of the ladders had flying hooks on their heads, and they couldn't be knocked down if they hooked the city wall. The hook head is made of iron, and even if it is slashed with a knife and axe, it is not so easy to cut off.

As the ladder approached, the intruders holding swords, axes and shields also continued to climb up from under the ladder, and the intruding camp in the distance shouted bursts of cheers like a tide.

"Golden juice."

"Burn them ......"

The many bunks on the city wall were burning with cauldrons of molten dung juice, and the stench was overwhelming, boiling hot. Many villagers gritted their teeth, scooped a spoonful of boiling dung juice with a long big spoon, and fell down at the soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

A howl that did not resemble a human voice sounded, and the golden juice kept falling, and even those intruders with shields covered it were inevitably doused by the boiling dung, and they howled and fell down the ladder one by one.

As the gold juice continued to fall, the city was in flames again, and the officers and soldiers in the city continued to throw down firewood and grass.

The firewood and grass were all wrapped in gunpowder, and when they were lit, the flames were accompanied by smoke, and the ladders were burned, and many of the intruders were affected, either rolling on the ground with their whole bodies on fire, or rushing into the crowd screaming with a body of fire.

Even the soldiers under the city mostly covered their faces with cloths, and in the thick smoke, there were still many people coughing and panting, and their eyes were so red and swollen that they could barely open their eyes.

The city was also set on fire by setting fire to old cotton wool sprinkled with sulfur and gunpowder, and then thrown out of the city, forming a fire barrier under the city walls, and more intruders were burned to death and burned. Looking down from the air, the western position of Luoyang City seems to be shrouded in fire and smoke, like a burning city.

The gold juice and fireworks coming down from the head of the city made the siege soldiers frightened, and the ladder soldiers who were lucky not to encounter these means were not much better.

Several ladders with flying hooks leaned against the top of the city, and seeing that there was no movement in the middle of the sound, one by one the intruders with swords and shields howled and climbed up the ladders, but when they climbed into the air. But when he saw a log full of sharp iron nails coming overhead, the leader of the army only had time to shout: "The night ...... of righteousness."

He was smashed down from the ladder by the log with sharp iron tips, and his chest was already a blur of flesh and blood, and it was full of thick holes. The two ends of the righteous night were connected with iron locks, and when they rolled down from the city, they smashed all the intruders on the ladder and fell to the ground, one by one rolling on the ground and howling in pain.

The culprit fell, and stopped in the air, and after half a sound came a trumpet from the city, and with a creaking sound, the logs covered with flesh and blood on the sharp iron points were withdrawn from the city.

The intruders on the ladder met like this, and the intruders who were next to several ladders were not much better, and they were viciously slapped down the ladder by the wolf fangs that fell on their heads.

The wolf's tooth slap and the righteous night are all sharp weapons for defending the city, made of elm locust wood, wide and thick, there are hundreds of wolf tooth iron nails on it, and the rope twisting pulley is used inside, when the enemy ants are attached to the siege of the city, pull up and shoot down, very sharp.

The intruders who encountered the wolf's tooth slap were worse than the intruders who encountered the night of righteousness, and the soldiers who were the first to be smashed to the ground by the night were lying on the ground in a state of distraction, and they felt better when they saw the soldiers who were slapped down by the wolf's teeth on several cloud ladders around them.

But he suddenly opened his eyes and looked motionless in the air, and then cried out in despair: "Fire Cup"

Dozens of porcelain jars burning with strange flames came in his direction, and in the cries and wails of the soldiers under the city, one by one the fire pots fell in the crowd and exploded, and the flames rushed up several people high, and the people who were burned by the flames seemed to be unable to let the fire on their bodies shoot away, and I don't know how many people were on fire, or rolling on the ground screaming, or rushing around with fire, causing even greater chaos.

Those who were on fire fell to the ground as they ran, motionless, apparently burned alive, and the smell of human flesh came up to the city, and the smell made people vomit.

"Burn them ......"

The garrison at the head of the city held the fire pots with long iron spoons, and had them light them with long torches, and then threw them down from the city one by one, and threw them at the ladder or in a crowded place.

These fire pots, which are filled with the "fierce fire oil" processed by the Ming Ordnance Bureau, these fierce fire oil is thick and stained, if it is burned after ignition, it is easy not to want to extinguish it, until it is burned alive, it is much more powerful than the firewood and cotton wool wrapped in nitrate yellow powder thrown down by the city head before, which is comparable to the napalm of later generations. ,

Looking at the sea of fire under the city, countless figures in the firelight, and the mournful howl came out, Wu Zhengchun was distracted for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Tragic ......"

※※※

ps: I'm sorry, I haven't updated it for a while, and on the 17th, I explained in the book review area that I had traveled with my wife for more than a month. In reality, I had a career, and with writing, I squeezed all my spare time out of it, so I couldn't talk about accompanying my family.

In fact, my wife who loves her husband was originally supportive, but after a long time, I didn't have time to accompany her, and my wife couldn't help complaining, complaining that I snubbed her. Feelings are raised by time and money, and without time to accompany them, there will inevitably be cracks in the relationship between husband and wife.

As my wife said, I'd rather go to KTV and nightclubs for fun sometimes, than not be able to find time to spend with me like writing, which is not a hobby, but the lesser of two evils, is better than writing.

In any case, family is very important to me, and the online world is more realistic than reality. So I put everything down and went out with her for more than a month, and the effect was still obvious, and the two of us returned to our previous relationship, it seems that women really need to be coaxed.
