Chapter 497: A Sea of Fire!
The fate of this Wu soldier made all the Wu soldiers stupid, and Sun Quan and others in the rear were also stunned on the spot, but before everyone could react, the slight and very obvious sound of the crockpot breaking sounded one after another, and the terrifying fires continued to rise one after another on the position of the Wu army's catapult troops, and some Wu soldiers and catapults who were close to the sea of fire were swallowed by the sea of fire in an instant!
At this moment, the wine jars thrown by the Wei army have exploded on the ground after a seemingly long time, but in fact it is just a moment, and they have exploded on the ground one after another, along with the oil all over the ground, the flames quickly connected the city, and the sea of fire filled the sky, whether it was a catapult or a soldier of Wu, they all wailed and screamed in the flames, and a tall catapult collapsed under the flames, and fell down with compassion, at this moment, here and here, it was like a red lotus hell!
After the flames burned out, the scene was ruthless, scorched corpses and the remains of catapults were everywhere, in fact, there were not many soldiers of the Wu army who died under the fire oil tank of the Wei army, after all, the Wu army was different from the Wei army, they did not gradually expand the catapult troops, but just regarded the catapult as an incommonly used means and troops!
However, the never-before-seen scene just now made everyone's hearts tremble. Many of the soldiers of the Wu army fell to the ground, trembling all over, and the fear in their eyes was like substance.
Some of the more timid people actually lay on the ground with their hands on their heads and pouted their buttocks trembling, they looked like wild boars in terror and transition, and even the generals of the Wu army, who had never wanted to show their timidity on Sun Quan's face, also showed fear on their faces at this time!
When the second wave of oil canisters of the Wei army was swept away, the soldiers of the Wu army who came back to their senses completely exploded. Many people threw down their weapons and ran towards the rear in panic, and the generals of the Wu army in the rear shouted to stabilize the army, but it had no effect at all.
Moment of truth. Sun Quan's expression changed, and he rode his horse to the group of soldiers who led the escape, and shouted with a war horse: "Everyone stop! Those who dare to retreat will be punished with cowardice in battle, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!! ”
The fleeing soldier was stunned for a moment, and then a colonel shouted hysterically: "Fighting with the Wei army is simply sending you to death, it is heavenly fire." Skyfire! We're not going to do it! Brothers, ignore him!! ”
The little colonel said goodbye and continued to run towards the rear, but he had only run a few steps. The human head flew into the sky, and the soldier Wu, who was about to continue to escape, was startled, and then watched with fear as the blood-spurting headless corpse fell down.
At this time, Sun Quan raised his blood-dripping three-foot long sword with a sinister expression. He shouted in a deep voice, "Ben will say it again." There is no forgiveness for those who are in the midst of the cowardice! ”
The Wu army deserters looked at each other in shock, with a look of bewilderment, and at this moment, Pang Tong rode his horse to the front of the army, and raised his voice with a worried face: "Everyone, it's not a heavenly fire, it's just a thing of fire oil, not to mention. As a soldier, you should defend your family and the country, and you are willing to see the Wei army defeat you. Going south in a big way and bullying your family in Yangzhou?! ”
The source of fear is unknown, Pang Tong first was a little bit of the Wei army's sudden heavenly fire, and then used their family members in Yangzhou to motivate these soldiers, I have to say that Pang Tong's short words have achieved very good results!
His words moved all the soldiers of the Wu army who had fled when they heard this, and a captain knelt down and said: "Second son, the last general is guilty, please allow the last general to kill the enemy while he is guilty!" ”
The lieutenant's tone was very excited, and then all the soldiers who originally wanted to escape knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Second son, my subordinates have been convicted!" Please allow your subordinates to make meritorious contributions! ”
Seeing this situation, Pang Tong and Sun Quan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then Sun Quan raised his voice and said: "Soldiers, return to your own camp and prepare to attack!" ”
"Yes!" The generals shouted in unison, and then turned and ran in the direction of their original formation.
Sun Quan came to Pang Tong's side, looked at the generals surging in the direction of the city wall, looked at the flames rising under the city wall, frowned and asked, "Military advisor, do you know what the Wei army is using today?" ”
Pang Tong muttered solemnly: "If I think correctly, the Wei army should use things like fire oil, this kind of thing, Kong Ming used it at the beginning, and he defeated the Wei army with this, but I didn't expect that the Wei army would go one step further and make such sharp weapons more powerful and convenient!" “
The Wu soldiers attacked Shouchun through the sea of fire made by the oil canisters, and climbed to the top of the city, and similarly, from time to time, there were also some Wu soldiers and soldiers, who were caught in the sea of fire!
After the assault force of the Wu army launched an attack, the Wei army also climbed the city wall, and when they climbed the city wall, they found that the assault force of the Wu army was only thirty steps away from the city wall.
The soldiers of the Wei army shuttled back and forth on the city, the crossbowmen gathered to the battlements, and the soldiers were transporting boiling oil to the city.
On the other side, Sergeant Wu struggled to endure the shattering sound and the subsequent waves of fire for them after the fire oil tank landed, and from time to time there were Wu soldiers who were swallowed up by the fire of the oil can, and everyone's expression was almost broken.
Suddenly, the whistling sound of the oil tank that made the Wu soldiers tremble abruptly, but it turned out that the Wei soldiers were excited and launched the oil tank!
But it's no wonder that the oil tank itself was not easy to manufacture under the society at that time, otherwise, Zhang Liao and Cao Pi couldn't wait until Wu Jun's catapults entered the firing range before using such a weapon of mass destruction, which was used as early as the beginning!
But even so, of the nearly 1,000 cans that Cao Pi brought that day, there were only 200 cans left at this time, and the Wu army at this time had almost reached the city wall, and it didn't make much sense to launch it!
A Wei military captain shouted in a hoarse voice: "The enemy is attacking the city!" ”
The soldiers of the Wei army on the city wall leaned out and looked down at the city, only to see that the flying tower and cloud ladder of the Wu army were already close in front of them!
The Wei generals shouted at the top of their voices, and the Wei army's crossbowmen hurriedly drew their arrows, while the Wei army's sword and shield hands also hurriedly ran on the wall.
When the Wu soldiers hooked up with the cloud ladder, the Wei soldiers finally began to counterattack, and the arrows like rain kept scattering down, and the Wu soldiers who were climbing the city began to suffer casualties!
The ladders and flying towers set up the Shouchun city wall one after another, and the assault troops of the Wu army quickly climbed towards the Shouchun city wall along the ladder flying towers!! (To be continued......)
