Chapter 318. Dirty routines
The seniors and great masters who traveled through time seemed to be born to siege masters. Tongguan, Kaifeng, and Valen Fortress all seemed to be made of paper when they arrived at them, and they could break it with one stab. But when they arrived at Wang Hou, it was really difficult to siege the city!
As he looked at the sight, the black arrows were shooting each other on the city. As Xuan Tian shouted, the blood vessels on the forehead of the Cao army warrior wearing black military uniforms burst out, and his veins jumped straight, carrying the siege ladder toward the city wall. However, under the dense rain of arrows, one echelon was shot down from the city wall. In the east city wall, a ladder finally came up on the city wall. The Cao army in the brigade climbed up like an ant, and then a large pot of boiling hot oil was poured on the head of the city.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The shrill screams even Wang Hou, who was hundreds of meters away, felt his back straightened. No wonder Mr. Cao was unwilling to launch a siege battle with such a great advantage. The loss rate of the siege was too great!
But just when Wang Hou was a little distracted, a young lady of the Zhuge family standing beside him calmed down, and she hurriedly walked up to the podium and pulled down his sleeves.
"State Governor! Yellow Banner! Yellow Banner appears!"
On the top of the wall, suddenly, behind a certain unit, a yellow flag was carried by Yuan Jun, who seemed to have run away from the city wall and ran rashly through the city wall. The word Liu was written on the flag, but the logo under the flag was particularly eye-catching, like a black, red and white umbrella cloth.
This is the best thing for time travelers. They can add their favorite things at will, but others can't understand them. This umbrella is the notorious Umbrella company logo in later film and television works, and was also used by Wang Hou as an internal symbol of the Military Statistics and Investigation Bureau under his command.
Deng Kai sent a signal!
However, at this time, Wang Hou cared more about Cao Pi's gaze. The man tied his hair up like that. Zhuge Ying, wearing a brown leather armor, obviously had a more heroic and wild taste than the noble lady in this era who was wearing a dark dress. Her movement of pulling Wang Hou's sleeves inadvertently made Cao Pi turn her head and take a look.
Both the father and son are legendary wives, and there is no good thing! These days, men are probably most afraid of by hearing the beautiful warnings of Mr. Cao from all over the world! Your wife is very beautiful! Looking at Cao Pi's eyes, Wang Hou attached great importance to Zhuge Ying's belt, who was still watching with a telescope, and pulled her to her side, and then issued a military order to the messenger beside him.
"Send a message to General Xiahou Yuan, asking him to retreat a little, and order the catapult troops to prepare for an attack!"
Although it was Cao Pi's supervision of the war, the front-line command was actually in the hands of Xiahou Yuan. As for the siege and other siege troops, Wang Hou pulled them back from Qingzhou, and he was the only one who could hear him! Cao Pi was here to put a name on the gold plate.
However, this little hypocrite is self-aware. Apart from watching Wang Hou hide Zhuge Ying aside, he has no words to interfere with the front-line command. He raised his telescope and watched the battlefield in full swing.
Just so happened that another pot of hot oil was poured down, and it was thrown on a torch. Several Cao soldiers burned into firemen, and rolled in with a shrill scream. But in Cao Pi's eyes, his expression didn't even have a slight fluctuation. That look was like just a few ants were trampled to death in front of him.
Wang Hou had no command over Xiahou Yuan, but fortunately, Xiahou Yuan sold his face. After listening to his messenger report, he yelled gold on the right wing and retreated the siege troops.
At the same time, with a creaking and sour sound, a heavy ten heavy firecrackers were pushed to the battlefield with difficulty as more than 2,000 reserve troops in Qingzhou shouted horns.
These cannons are from Xuchang. The power of the Hui cannon is huge enough, but its weight is a fatal flaw. It can be several tons at a distance, so transportation is too difficult and inconvenient! No wonder it was replaced by cannons later.
The ammunition under the Huihui cannon was transported by the second batch of Sima Yi's logistics team in Linzi, and each wine barrel was filled with no idea what to load.
These things are treated well! Everyone is frozen. One hour before they are transported to the battlefield, Wang Hou ordered a lot of hot soil to be lost, and then buried the thousands of buckets in the soil, warming for an hour, and now it is dug out.
Looking at the huge barrels, this time, even Cao Pi couldn't help but be curious. He couldn't help but ask when the big barrels were loaded onto the Huihui cannon by the reserve soldiers in fear and disgust at the orders of the craftsmen in the army.
"Wangzhou Mu, what are these? A few years ago, my father Xiangyan said that there was a kind of powder that could ignite quickly and explode like thunder. Could it be these?"
"Return to the eldest son, the powder gunpowder is too expensive and difficult to make. There are not so many subordinates. These are dirty bullets!"
Although he looked at Cao Pi very disliked, he still had to treat him as a courtesy. Putting down the telescope, Wang Hou also explained helplessly. After saying that, he shook his head with some regret.
"It would be better if it was summer now!"
What is a dirty bullet? Cao Pi has never heard of it, but after seeing Wang Hou explaining it briefly, he did not intend to explain it in detail. It was probably something ordinary. I was afraid that he would look down on me and feel ignorant. Cao Pi had to endure his curiosity and nodded in nodding.
But the next second, his eyes fell on Zhuge Ying in surprise. The head guard woman said unreasonably, but now she laughed a little out of control, and her little mouth was almost laughing.
What the hell is it?
In the strange atmosphere, while Cao Man was curiously looking around, he shouted a trumpet. The army craftsman in charge of controlling the catapult hit the trigger with a hammer. With a buzzing sound, a large round wooden barrel was shot out by a giant-like Huihuan. He flew out four hundred meters away, and then he hit the city directly parabola.
From the perspective of Yuan Jun, the Yecheng defenders had just repelled the attack of Cao's army like a tide. They were huddling on the city and gasping violently. Unpredictably, there was a buzzing sound in the air. They raised their heads in shock. The Yecheng defenders screamed in fear and scattered apart.
With a buzzing sound, a large wooden barrel hit the city wall accurately. With a slash, it seemed that black and sticky items inside scattered out, splashing Yuan Jun within a range of about ten meters nearby.
This thing neither exploded nor burned, but in Cao Pi's telescope, Yuan Jun, who was stained with this thing, seemed particularly painful. He pounced on himself one by one, and even a few ran to the trunk with their throats, and suddenly spit out white foam downwards...
Is this poison?
Unable to help himself, Cao Pi placed his eyes on the large wooden barrel that was heavy on the catapult.
