Chapter 401: It's a good time to send troops

Rumble!

A huge explosion sounded in the enemy formation, the huge rushing car could not withstand the power of the explosion, and was directly dispersed The entire frame, the huge crashing wood rolled to the ground with a click, and pressed the dozen soldiers next to him to the spot.

And the ladder team next to it also recruited a more fierce attack.

The crossbow bolts flew down, knocking down the soldiers as they desperately ran forward.

There were more brigades in the back to keep up, and Chu He's firearms could no longer cause damage to large-scale enemy troops.

"Firearms stop firing!"

Xu Chu immediately gave an order, and arranged a group of soldiers holding firewood to one place after another, and suddenly, a cloud of fire floated out from above the city.

Hot water and oil are constantly boiling in the cauldron, and there are more rolling trees and rocks piling up.

The crossbow soldiers standing in the front row also retreated back with their respective crossbows, and replaced them with a fixed crossbowmen that could shoot directly and then guarded them.

This crossbow fixed to the head of the city has the advantage of shooting the crossbow directly without having the soldiers look down, which also reduces the damage of the bow and arrow to the soldiers at the head of the city.

However, the crossbow had a relatively short range, so it was not lifted up in the first place.

The enemy army below has come to the moat, and there are huge shields being built towards the moat.

The faster soldiers were about to come to the city.

Sou!

Suddenly, a rocket shot down from above the castle and fell directly into the moat below.

Suddenly, a flame suddenly ignited, with a black aura, radiating towards both banks.

Hula!

The fire spread all the way to the bottom of the city, in front of a groove that was no more than fifty centimeters wide.

And on the other side, the fire set the entire front on fire.

The fire continued to devour the soldiers at the front, and it continued to spread to the back.

Within a few miles of this east gate, Zhao Yun had ordered people to sprinkle fire oil and bury gunpowder, as long as the fire was ignited, the entire battlefield would instantly become Senluo Hell.

Rumble!

A huge explosion sounded among the many Youzhou soldiers.

The sound of the explosion combined with the burning of the flames made Gongsun Chan even more shocked, he couldn't help waving his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Pass my military order and push the waterwheel to the front!" ”

"No!"

Suddenly, water trucks were pushed out of Gongsun Zhan's camp, and when the fire oil burned to the front, the soldiers smashed the wooden barrels, and suddenly the water in the wooden barrels rushed to the ground in front of them.

Originally, these fire oils could not be extinguished by water, but there was no fire oil savings in Zhongshan City, and the merchants who sent fire oil could transport very little, so he added other things to the fire oil, and spread the fire oil under the fire oil with hay and flammable things, and put the fire oil on it, and covered it with a layer of weeds.

Therefore, under the surging of water, the fire oil hissed and extinguished a lot at once.

Seeing this, Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to push the cart on, hoping to extinguish all the fires in front of him.

At this moment, in his military array, there are more than 50,000 cavalry brigades and more than 10,000 infantry.

Since Chu He used fire attack, it is enough to show that Zhongshan City has reached the time when it is exhausted of ammunition and food, Gongsun Zhan can't help but feel good, and can't help but say loudly: "Prepare to take Zhongshan Kingdom in one fell swoop and behead Chu He!" According to the previous Jihua, the rear cavalry, divided into three parts, waited outside the other three gates of Zhongshan City, if there is an enemy army out of the city, no one will be left! ”

"No!"

The cavalry on Gongsun Zhan's side received the order, divided more than 30,000 people, and galloped away in the direction of the other three city gates.

On this side, the Youzhou soldiers who were ignited by the fire were already unrecognizable, although the flames on their bodies were extinguished, but the whole person was already in pain and could only howl on the ground.

There were tens of thousands of people, rolling around with their heads in their hands, although they had taken the medicine Gu, but that could only minimize their damage, and the burning of the flames directly injured their bodies and heads, for large-scale burns, and the pain in the brain, it could not be resolved.

Some of the soldiers stood up like this, picked up their weapons on the ground, and rushed directly towards the city in front of them.

The fires were constantly extinguished, but Chu He at the head of the city let out a long sigh, turned his head to look at Xu Chu and said, "Zilong, they are all ready!" ”

"Lord, the generals are already ready, just wait for the arrival of General Gao Shun's army in the rear, and they will go out of the West Gate to swallow the enemy army at the West Gate first!"

Xu Chu clasped his hands and said.

Chu He nodded slightly, then looked at the chaotic but disgusting battlefield below, and couldn't help but whisper: "This side will be handed over to you!" Do your best to hold Gongsun Chan's siege army, and after we have eliminated the enemy forces on three sides, we will kill Gongsun Chan in turn! ”

Xu Chu received the order, passed on the orders one by one, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the fire that was gradually being extinguished below.

In last night's military discussion, Chu He had already thought that this method would not work, and then after everyone's brainstorming, they made a lot of adjustments, and made a series of operations against Gongsun Zhan's siege of Zhongshan City.

Since the early morning battle, it has only been half a day, and the number of dead enemy troops on the battlefield below has increased by 30,000 or 40,000 people, although the fire attack is not feasible, but it still makes tens of thousands of enemy soldiers howl in pain in the flames, and completely lose the strength to fight again.

After all, they are flesh and blood, and they are not iron men, they may still be able to fight with a knife, and they may be able to kill people if they are killed, but their whole body is seriously burned by the flames, and this kind of pain that is subtle to the pores is not something that the Youzhou soldiers can resist.

Although Xu Chu sighed, he also had to think that Chu He's decision-making was extremely wise, and the situation on the battlefield was moving in the direction that Xun Yu had conceived before.

After a while, Chu He came to the city, saw Li Dao and Tian Kai who were preparing to haode, smiled slightly, turned over the war horse, took an iron spear from the hands of the soldiers next to him, and rode forward. "Let's go! Let's go to the west gate and kill the tail in the back first, and then kill the enemy troops in the north and south gates without leaving a piece of armor, and then turn back and kill Gongsun Zhan, the bastard! Chu He shouted loudly, and Tian Kai and Li Wei behind him suddenly became in a big array, followed Chu He left and right, and quickly walked towards the West Gate.

Here Zhao Yun has already arranged the war, Xun Yu is arranging soldiers above the city, and Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng are arranged at the north and south gates.

The soldiers in front of the west gate had gathered more than 10,000 people, and all of them were wearing iron armor with a touch of excitement in their eyes.

But the signal from above the city has not yet been delivered.

"Attack!"

When Chu He came to the door, the flag above the city also waved, only to hear a loud shout, and the gate of the west gate creaked and opened quickly.
