Chapter 160 The tragic battle

With Su Ming's order, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall suddenly rose.

You said, just now, I was hit by someone with a "bang" and didn't fight back, that's what's the matter!

At Su Ming's order, the soldiers in charge of the catapult were immediately busy.

Many catapults have long been laid out on the walls of Yecheng.

Moreover, the catapults on the walls of Yecheng were all made by skilled craftsmen in the city, and their quality was far better than the catapults of Zhang He's army outside the city.

Outside the city, Zhang He's army's catapults were made by temporarily logging wood outside the city, and they were shoddy products.

Zhang He and his team threw stones on the city wall.

However, after Su Ming gave the order, his soldiers were no longer loading stones on the catapult cart.

The soldiers under Su Ming, who were loading the catapult cart with jars of wine.

These wine jars contain not wine, but ignition oil, sulfur and other ignition-induced objects.

"Prepare!"

With the order of the messenger, all the wine jars were put on the catapult cart.

Then, the messenger shouted: "Start!"

With this order, countless jars of wine were thrown out by thrust tools.

Su Ming and his team were on the city wall, and Zhang He's army's siege equipment threw wine jars from the high-rise. The accuracy was much more accurate than Zhang He and his team's siege.

The wine jar that covered the sky and shook the sky and smashed the siege equipment at the front row of Zhang He's army.

"Clang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

One after another, the wine jars hit the siege equipment. The wine jars were broken, and tinder oil and sulfur spilled all the siege equipment.

Then, Su Ming shouted above the city wall: "Set the rocket."

This rocket is not a rocket from the Dongfeng series.

The rockets of the Three Kingdoms period soaked the arrow in tinder oil for three days and three nights, and then hollowed out the arrow shaft and stuffed it with sulfur, gunpowder and other things.

In this way, after the arrow is shot out, due to its rapid speed, it will rub against the air.

After this friction, the spark will ignite the entire arrow, thus achieving the effect of this rocket.

After Su Ming gave the order, the crossbowman who had already prepared it was behind him immediately set off his bow and arrow and shot out the rocket in his hand.

"Swoosh!Swoosh!"

Flashes of sounds of breaking through the air sounded, and countless arrows were shot out, and when they cut through the sky, a blazing flames burned.

These arrows shot straight towards the siege equipment in the front row of Zhang He's army. The goal was very clear, which was to burn these siege equipment.

The siege equipment created by normal procedures must be covered with a layer of cowhide and sold.

This cowhide is extremely fire-resistant, and it is difficult for ordinary flames to ignite this cowhide.

This is also a means of siege equipment to prevent fire attack.

However, the siege equipment used by Zhang He and his friends were all made by temporarily logging wood under the city.

These siege equipment are not covered with this layer of cowhide that sets fire.

Zhang He and his friends were in a hurry to attack the city, so they had no time to make so many cowhides. Besides, there was no place to find these cowhides now.

After losing this arson step, these siege equipment made of wood are just a little bit!

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

As these rockets shot onto these siege equipment, Zhang He's siege equipment immediately started to burn.

Even some small explosions were triggered.

For a moment, a raging flame burned under the city wall. Large siege equipment such as car crashes and siege cars burned up, almost forming a fire wall.

Su Ming used this move, and 70% of Zhang He's siege equipment were burned away.

For a moment, all Zhang He's soldiers and horses under the city wall were stunned, and they were not rushing up or retreating.

Rush, how can you rush forward!

Their siege equipment ignited a fire, forming a fire wall, which instead stopped them.

Go back?

On the battlefield, the military orders fell like a mountain. Without Zhang He's order, who would dare to retreat!

So, these soldiers were simply stunned.

Zhang He's camp.

Zhang He saw a fire ignited in front of him and the army's attack stopped. When he was about to ride his horse to the front line, he happened to see a deputy general rushing over.

This deputy general is named Jiao Chu, and he is almost at the level of a third-rate military general.

"General, something is wrong!"

"Our siege equipment is not fire-proof, and it was burned by the enemy's fire!" Jiao Tu said hurriedly.

Zhang He thought to himself, I will report it with you! I saw it all.

Crashing cars, siege cars, and these large siege equipment were burned by 70% to 80% in one go. Zhang He really had no choice but to do this.

The siege equipment they created temporarily is indeed very useful.

The most important thing is that Su Ming is so calm.

It was not until the siege equipment reached a hundred feet of the city wall that the catapult cart was allowed to fire tinder oil and release rockets, which burned the siege equipment to the greatest extent.

Zhang He knew that he had met an opponent this time.

At this time, Zhang He also understood that even if the enemy lacked troops, it would be not that easy to capture Yecheng.

Judging from the current situation, if his 50,000 troops are not injured or killed, he will not even be able to capture Yecheng.

However, he couldn't hold on anymore, and the more he dragged on, the more he was, the more unfavorable it was for him.

Thinking of this, Zhang He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Cloud ladder, is the cloud ladder still there?"

Although large siege equipment such as siege combat, crashes, and siege cars are important, the most basic one is the ladder.

As long as the ladder is there, you can still attack the city.

Jiao Tu was stunned and immediately replied: "The cloud ladder and the cloud ladder are still there."

The cloud ladder has a small target, a large number, and is also easy to build.

Therefore, Su Ming did not regard the cloud ladder as the target of attack just now, so Zhang He's cloud ladders are still there.

"If the siege equipment is gone, let the ladder go up!"

"No matter what, I have to capture Yecheng for me. Even if I use my life, I have to accumulate Yecheng!" Zhang He issued an order in a serious tone.

At this time, Jiao Tu's face turned ugly.

Use human lives to pile up?

It is difficult to break the clay pot from the well, and the general will inevitably die in front of the formation.

He is not afraid of death, but now the fire is blocking the road, so it is difficult to rush forward!

"General, the fire blocks the road!"

"How can I rush over?" Jiao Tu asked hesitantly.

When Zhang He heard this, he was immediately furious.

"What are you afraid of just flames!"

"There are swords and fires ahead, so I have to rush forward!" When he said this, Zhang He dismounted and said in a deep voice: "Prepare a ladder for me, and I am the vanguard."

"From now on, the soldiers retreat and kill them!"

"Why retreat, the centurion kills you!"

"The centurion retreats, and the thousand men kill him!"

"A thousand men retreat, I will kill him."

"If I retreat, everyone can kill him!"
