The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 118 Burning the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty

"My lord, do you want to order to stop?" Li Jian, the military commander behind Jiang Chuan, said behind him.

"No hurry, just wait." Jiang Chuan didn't turn his head, his eyes were fixed on the attacking Qing army under the city.

The Qing soldiers who attacked the city thought that there would be a rain of arrows on their heads immediately, and they were ready to defend, but in the end there was still no movement. After drinking it, he accelerated his speed towards the top of the city.

The Qing soldiers with the big plank on their heads ran quickly to the front of the moat, raised the plank up with a shout, then exerted force in unison, and pushed it suddenly, the big plank slammed and fell heavily on the edge of the ditch opposite the moat superior.

Seeing that the front army built the bridge, the ladder soldiers behind shouted, and quickly rushed down the city carrying the high ladders and stepping on the temporary wooden bridge.

The sword and shield soldiers behind them quickly followed, and the whole team was closely connected and smooth.

Seeing that his subordinates were about to cross the moat so smoothly, Kong Youde, who was commanding on a cloud car behind the formation, was a little surprised, but also a little proud.

When Bai Mu sent a letter to Duoduo just now, he called him a lost dog, which made him quite angry.At this time, seeing that his subordinates attacked smoothly, the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, and he even began to think that if the boy who was rude to him did not die after the city was broken, he would cut off his head with his own hands. The humiliation just now.

The Qing army rushed forward under the city, but the top of the city was silent, as if all the defenders did not exist.

This made the generals of the Qing soldiers who led the team feel bad, but they didn't have time to think about it too much, and shouted for the soldiers to speed up.

Jiang Chuan kept watching the movement of the Qing army until he saw that there were about 200 Qing troops rushing across the moat to the bottom of the city wall, and finally moved.

"Let go!" He suddenly yelled.

Following Jiang Chuan's order, several clay pots were suddenly dropped from the top of the city, drawing a curve in the air, and then accurately hitting the temporary wooden bridge built by the Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers crossing the river.

Several clay pots smashed into the crowd and shattered with a loud bang, and a pile of black things spilled out of them, not only scattered on the wooden boards that were temporarily used as bridges, but also stained a lot on some Qing soldiers.

A Qing soldier suddenly hissed and shouted: "Fire oil, this is fire oil!"

That's right, it's gunpowder.It is the fire oil that Jiang Chuan exchanged from the field of the fortress base.

Before the Qing soldiers could react, they dropped several pottery pots filled with kerosene from the top of the city wall, and they still landed on the wooden boards accurately.

At this time, the Qing soldiers were rushing forward, so naturally it was impossible to retreat just because a few clay pots fell, and even if the people in front wanted to retreat, the people behind would not let him retreat.

Therefore, when the Qing soldiers were chaotic and huddled together, dozens of rockets from the city swished into the wooden planks.

The rocket ignited the kerosene, and with a bang, raging flames ignited, and the entire wooden board was violently burned.As a result, the Qing soldiers crowded on the wooden boards also suffered, and turned into burning men in a few moments.

The wooden boards that the Qing soldiers temporarily put on the moat started to burn almost at the same time. One by one, the firemen screamed and struggled on the wooden boards. Some people couldn't bear the pain of being burned, and fell directly into the moat with a thud.

It's a pity that even if it fell into the water, the flames on its body were still burning, and gradually there was no movement.

The sudden fire blocked the way for the Qing army to continue advancing, and at the same time trapped the one or two hundred Qing soldiers who had already rushed through the moat on the other side of the river. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to escape.

At this time, some of the Qing soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the city were climbing up the ladder, and some saw the fire behind them. Seeing that the way back was cut off, they panicked and wanted to retreat, and there was a sudden confusion.

"Don't panic! Follow me! Those who retreat will die!" The general of the Qing soldiers who led the team yelled, hacked to death a soldier running backwards beside him with a knife, and then bit the knife in his mouth, holding the shield in his left hand and grabbing it with his right. Ladder, take the lead to climb up the city.

When the Qing soldiers behind saw that the general was taking the lead, they also shouted and climbed up.

Of course, the defenders on the city would not give them a chance to easily climb up the city wall, and quickly threw dozens of clay pots filled with kerosene from the city, and fell into the crowded Qing soldiers below the city.

Followed by a canopy of rockets, the rocket ignited the kerosene covering the ground, and the Qing soldiers in it suddenly cried and howled.

Burning on the body hurts much more than cutting the body with a knife.

The rest of the Qing soldiers who were not burned by the fire were also ignited by the comrades who turned into Burning Men, so more Burning Men were born, and the miserable howls resounded all over the field. In the swollen moat.

The archers of the Qing army who followed the shield soldiers started to fight back, shooting arrows towards the city.

It's just that the city wall in front of them is ridiculously high, and they shot upwards, and the arrows they shot up didn't have much effect at all.

And the counterattack from the city came very soon. The heavy rain of arrows immediately weakened the counterattack of the archers of the Qing soldiers. Many fell to the ground, and the rest hurriedly hid behind the shieldmen.

At this time, the dozens of Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to climb the ladder were also smashed by the sharp-edged stones from the city, fell directly from the ladder, and fell into the fire formation below. Then it was instantly ignited.

Even if there were a few lucky people who were not hit by the stone, they were quickly made into rice dumplings by the rain of arrows on the city, such as the general of the Qing army who led the team.

Kong Youde watched the attack frustrated from the back of the formation, and watched the soldiers who followed him from Daming to Liaodong struggling and howling in the flames.

But he couldn't decide to stop the siege, so he could only turn his head and cast his eyes on Duoduo, who was watching the battle on a cloud chariot higher than the one under his feet.

Duoduo had a panoramic view of the tragic situation of the siege troops.But he didn't care how many people died, because all the people who died were from Han Banners, so he didn't feel bad at all.

It's a pity that he didn't see much of the enemy's firepower arrangement from this attack. The enemy didn't even use cannons, and the use of crossbow arrows was very limited.

But the kerosene poured down as if it didn't need money, which made Doduo a little disappointed and a little surprised.

It seemed that the opponent was indeed capable, and instead of attacking the siege troops with full firepower from the beginning, they seemed to be hiding their clumsiness.

Since you want to hide, then I will continue to attack and see how long you can hide.

"Let Kong Youde continue to attack, and retreat without permission!" Duoduo gave the order with a slight smile.

　The first update arrives.There are updates tonight.
