Although Qiao Ren's voice trembled with nervousness, he did not lose the courage to fight, and he refused Wei Ba's persuasion to surrender.

Receiving the reply of refusal, Wei Ba was not frustrated, he calmly gave the order to attack, it seemed that Qiao Ren's refusal was expected for him, or it didn't matter at all, persuasion seemed to be just a procedure for him, and it didn't matter what the result was.

His indifference made Qiao Ren even more nervous, and he ran at the head of the city, urging the soldiers to prepare for battle. In fact, there is no need for him to say it, every Wu soldier has already felt Sen Sen's killing intent, and these thousands of enemies came to Chenyang in the middle of the night, of course, not to have a bonfire party with them.

Just under the frightened gaze of Wu Jun at the head of the city, Wei Ba slowly raised his hand and waved it gently.

The drums of war suddenly exploded, breaking the silence below.

"Ignition!" The brute with a torch in his hand lit the bamboo ball in the basket, and the bamboo ball soaked in oil immediately burst into flames, illuminating the tall figure of the bamboo bow tied together by several bamboos.

"Put!" The barbarians let go of the rope in their hands, and the bamboo bow bounced violently, throwing the flaming bamboo ball into the sky, like a meteor, across the sky, and flying towards the city.

And then another.

In an instant, fifty or sixty flaming bamboo balls flew up from the formation, flew over a distance of two or three hundred steps, and flew towards Chenyang, illuminating the frightened face of Wu Jun at the head of the city. The bamboo bow bounced, buzzed, and the bamboo ball swept across the sky, and the fire was raging.

Qiao Ren's face was like ashes. Is this a Thunderbolt, more than fifty Thunderbolts? According to the usual configuration, this is an ordnance that only an army of at least 10,000 people has. Qiao Ren secretly complained to himself. While shouting loudly, "Pay attention to concealment, prepare to put out the fire-"

Chenyang is where the granary is located, fire prevention is the basic requirement, Qiao Ren is not worried that these fireballs will ignite the granary, but he is very worried about the preparation of defense materials such as haode dung juice and boiling oil on the city wall, as well as firewood and grass and other flammable materials piled on the city. These are all for defensive purposes, and if they are ignited by the enemy first, it will be counterproductive.

The Wu army at the head of the city began to move, and the head of the city was busy.

The roar of the city continued, accompanied by a series of tooth-aching strings. Countless feathered arrows pierced the darkness. The head of the city appeared, shot on the shield of the Wu army, shot on the city wall, like a torrential wind. It's chilling.

The front of the large array, which was originally neatly arranged like a chessboard, suddenly burst into an uproar. More than 100 soldiers rushed out carrying more than a dozen bamboo rafts filled in the trenches. They rushed to the moat and threw the bamboo rafts into the moat, making a splash. These moat-filled rafts are all made of thick whole bamboo. The upper and lower two layers, the head and tail are crossed, seven or eight zhang long, two or three zhang wide, but it is much lighter than the commonly used trench filling car, four or five people can lift it, ten people can carry it and run, and throw it into the moat is a bridge, easy and fast.

In a matter of moments, there were ten more bridges over the moat.

How could the Wu army at the head of the city let the enemy fill the trench so easily, they began to shoot arrows, and the feather arrows with a whistling sound, pounced on the enemy who was filling the trenches, and pounced on the bamboo bridges that had just been erected. The arrow shoots at the thick bamboo, fluttering, but it is difficult to shoot through.

The barbarians, who had completed the task of filling the trenches, retreated as they struck the arrow feathers nailed to the iron armor. Then more than 100 soldiers rushed up with bamboo rafts to fill the trenches. The moat splashed in all directions, and bamboo rafts were thrown into the water, and soon opened up passages several feet wide.

The Wu army in the city was inexplicably frightened, and the speed at which the enemy filled the trenches was unimaginably fast. Filling the trench is the first obstacle after the official start of the war, and the longer it takes to fill the trench under the arrow array of the defenders at the head of the city, the greater the cost of casualties. Generally, trench filling is done with trench filling trucks. The volume of the trench filling truck should be very large, so as to achieve the purpose, but the larger the volume, the greater the weight, the inconvenience of moving, and the longer the consumption. The besieging side often had to pay a significant price to complete the task of filling the trenches.

They had never seen such a quick way to fill the trenches.

In fact, it is indeed much easier to fill the trench with a bamboo raft, which is simple to manufacture and easy to carry. A bamboo raft of the same volume is more than half as light as a raft, and several people can carry it without fear of sinking into the water.

These are all methods that Wei Ba came up with, although the barbarians are very skilled in being craftsmen, they do not have such a complex jishu. With Wei Ba's instructions, they took the advantages of bamboo to the limit. They were not surprised to see the use of the bamboo raft during the day when they were busy in the valley, but for the Wu army at the head of the city, they were very frightened by such a rapid process of filling the trenches.

The drum has not yet ended, and the task of filling the trench has been completed. The beat of the drum changed, and dozens of tall black figures were pushed to the front of the formation. Qiao Ren threw himself at the head of the city, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but gasp. The shadows were all huge siege engines, but unlike ordinary siege vehicles, they were all made of bamboo, the thickness of an arm. At the front, there is a whole bamboo that has not even been removed, lined up and down in seven or eight rows, and the dense bamboo branches are crowded together, blocking the eyes of the city head, and also blocking the arrow rain at the city head, it looks like an incomparably huge monster, and the size alone is enough to make people fearful.

Fifty barbarians carried a siege engine, shouted neat trumpets, stepped on bamboo rafts, crossed the wide moat, and rushed straight to the city.

"Shoot the arrows!" Qiao Ren ran at the head of the city and shouted, "With rockets!" ”

The Wu crossbowmen opened their arrows one after another, lit the ignition tied to the arrows on the torches, and shot at the siege vehicles. The siege vehicle is so large that it can be shot without aiming at all, and in front of it is a dense bamboo leaf, which is just a point. As soon as the Wu army fired the first arrows, the siege engines were burned.

However, the fire only burned in front of the siege car, and for the time being, it could not burn the barbarians under the siege car. Feeling the fire above, the brutes were not only not nervous, but even more excited, and they screamed and ran faster. The siege vehicle seemed to have long legs, and rushed towards the city wall, like dozens of big fireballs, whirring, rushing towards Chenyang City.

Qiao Ren suddenly understood, and was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly: "Stop shooting, stop shooting!" ”

The rest of the Wu army also understood that these siege engines were not afraid of their ignition at all, but hoped that they would shoot arrows and ignite the bamboo branches in front. These siege engines are about the same height as the head of the city, and the bamboo branches at the top stick out far from the front, and once the siege vehicles are connected to the city wall, these burning bamboo branches will appear at the head of the city, and they will appear in front of them, and they will burn themselves when the time comes.

The most important way to deal with siege vehicles is, of course, to use long wooden sticks to resist them, so that they do not get close to the city walls, so that the enemies on the siege vehicles cannot jump on the walls. But now there were a large number of bamboo branches in front of these siege engines, and they were on fire, so that the defenders with wooden sticks could not approach at all, and could only watch the siege engines lean against the city walls.

A siege vehicle leaned against the city wall, and the branches and leaves four or five zhang long protruding from the front end creaked and squeaked, covering almost the entire city wall. The Wu army was caught off guard and avoided one after another, and there were also brave soldiers brandishing swords and stepping forward to slash. They braved the fire and cut down the bamboo branches, only to find that the cut bamboo was like a sharp spear, and stabbed them mercilessly. They cut off one piece, and the rest was thicker and sharper.

Several Wu soldiers were stabbed with bamboo spears and fell to the ground screaming.

More siege vehicles approached the city head, the bamboo branches and bamboo leaves stretched out from the front of the car were burning, like a big torch, ruthlessly sweeping across the city wall, in the face of this huge torch, the Wu army fought back and lacked skills, and could only watch these torches lying across the city wall, separating the defenders on the city wall on both sides of the city gate, and could no longer support each other.

The gates are on fire.

When the attack was launched in the south of the city, Zhao Tong in the north of the city also launched an attack, filling in the trenches, shooting fireballs with bamboo bows, and separating the city walls with siege engines with large torches.

Qiao Ren was anxious, he had followed Lu Xun for many years, he was an experienced and thoughtful person, and it was precisely because of this that Lu Xun would give him the responsibility of guarding Chenyang. In the face of countless enemies, he did not lose courage, he did not forget his duty, but in the face of these strange weapons, he could not think of any good way.

He had never seen such a weapon, he had not encountered a similar scene, and in his eagerness, he could not find a solution. And he has always had a worry in his heart, Wei Ba may not be here to attack the city, he may be here to burn the city. The Wu army only had a granary left in Chenyang, and as long as Chenyang's grain was burned, the Wu army would no longer be able to hold on.

Now, the method used by Wei Ba was the fire attack, which verified his worries and made him even more nervous. If Wei Ba wanted to seize the city and seize the food in the city for self-sufficiency, he could also use the burning of the city to threaten him, but if Wei Ba's purpose was to burn the city, he would have nothing to rely on. He not only had to prevent Wei Ba from capturing the city, but also from Wei Ba from burning the city.

"Water! Water use! Qiao Ren was sweating profusely, beating his chest, the city wall was divided into more than a dozen sections by the burning siege vehicles, many Wu troops were blocked by the fire, unable to advance or retreat, and shouted in panic, many people jumped directly from the city wall in order to dodge, and the defense of the city head had collapsed. However, Qiao Ren was still worried about the food that was related to the life and death of Wu Jun at the moment.

Wei Ba sat on the command car, looked at the city wall illuminated by the firelight, looked at the dozen huge bonfires on the city wall, and let out a long breath. He knew that he was about to succeed, and his opponent, Qiao Ren, was a steady and unresponsive person, and he couldn't react in time to these strange siege moves he had carefully prepared. This time, he won again.

"Ziquan, prepare to go to the city."

"Whoa!" Wang Shuang, who was neatly draped, waved his long knife and hid it behind him.

"Captain Guan, the Divine Dog Battalion can attack."

"Whoa." Guan Feng responded solemnly, turned around and waved the colored flag.

Shalaman and the others, who had been preparing for a long time, let go of the divine dog, and pointed at the head of the city: "Duh! ”

Dozens of divine dogs shot out like arrows, rushed all the way, rushed across the moat, rushed to the top of the siege vehicle, and in the face of the blazing fireball, they jumped up without fear, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, suddenly appeared in front of the panicked Wu army, and opened their bloody mouths.
