In the middle of the night, Gao Xu and Yuan He led their troops to leave the camp respectively. Except for Zhao Junsheng, no one knew which road they took. Their marching route was kept secret, and only a few people knew their destination.

After sending Gao Xu and Yuan He away, Zhao Junsheng walked towards the commander-in-chief, and asked Guo Yi who was following him, "What's going on in Bingzhou, Luoyu, and Guanzhong?"

Guo Yi said: "Since the Southern Dynasties sent people to instigate Qiuchi people to harass the Guanzhong area, most of Pibaozi's energy has been devoted to Qiuchi; On the one hand, we have to guard against Beiliang's provocation, and on the other hand, the imperial court can't give him any support, so it's extremely difficult to deal with it!"

"In Bingzhou, Bu Liuguli no longer trusts the imperial court, and is worried that the imperial court will seize his military power.

Taiyuan and the surrounding counties are run like iron barrels, and the main forces of Luoyu's family members are restrained by the Southern Dynasty generals Xiao Bin, Shen Qingzhi, Liu Yuanjing and others. At present, these people are planning to attack Xingyang and Luoyang! "

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Du Chao, who is hiding in Jeju City, is always a disaster. This man is old and cunning. If he finds out that the Bai Jinguang barracks outside the city is just an empty camp with few people, things will be serious! Bai Jinguang Young and energetic, like to take risks in the army, this is a good thing and a bad thing... By the way, has the entire Xiangzhou been captured?"

Guo Yi nodded: "It's won. Those counties and counties are nothing but walls, and they will surrender to whoever is stronger. Xiangzhou is also like Jeju City. There is only one lonely city left, but the city is tall and strong, and it has excellent soldiers. There is enough food, it is impossible to break through in a while!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and said to the herald next to him: "Give Cao Jiao an order to hand over the team leader to Zhang Xing for the time being, and only take [-] cavalry to go south to Jeju quickly! That boy Bai Jinguang left a big hole , we have to fill this loophole for him, or else once Jeju is finished, Qizhou will be in danger too!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Early the next morning, after eating and drinking, the soldiers once again set up an army formation under Linzi City to prepare for the siege. This is already the eighth day of the siege.

Everyone breathed out, Zhao Junsheng shook his chin at Wang Huilong: "General Wang, it's your turn to play, don't you want to avenge the death of two thousand brothers? Today is your chance!"

Chapter 639 The Fire Burns the City

"Obey!" Wang Huilong agreed with clasped fists, and galloped towards the front of the army formation.

In today's siege battle, Zhao Junsheng gave Wang Huilong 3000 men, plus he had more than a thousand people brought from Xingyang, a total of nearly 4000 men, which is quite sufficient in terms of military strength.

Seeing Wang Huilong galloping over on horseback, several commanders clasped their fists in salute: "I've seen the general!"

Wang Huilong reined in his horse and looked up at the city wall, asking, "What's the situation on the city wall?"

A commander said: "The defenders are transporting stones to the city wall. According to the general's observation, they used the door panels to resist the rain of stones launched by our army's wheeled trebuchets yesterday. Although the defense of the door panels is slightly insufficient, it is better than The shield is much stronger, but today I did not see them carrying the door panels on the city wall. There are not many people on the city wall, only some sentries and patrols, and those on the enemy tower who operate the swing cantilever. The other defenders seem to be Not on the walls!"

The second commander said: "In my opinion, they were afraid of the rain of stones, and they all hid in the city. After all, they were so densely packed that no one could stand it!"

Wang Huilong was thinking about the attack strategy, when the third commander asked: "General, how will we fight today's battle? We will entrust you with our brothers' wealth and lives!"

Wang Huilong asked: "In the past few days, how many rounds of stone bullets fired by our army's wheeled trebuchets have been fired?"

"It should be... five rounds, right? The general remembers that the rain of stone bullets fired every day is five rounds!"

Wang Huilong narrowed his eyes, and ordered: "Send an order to the catapult crew to let them shoot the rain of stone bullets first, or five rounds!"

"...General, the defenders are hiding at the foot of the city wall. Even if the rain of stone bullets hits them, their casualties will be limited!"

Wang Huilong said coldly: "If they don't rain stones and bullets, how can they go up the city wall without worry? Hit me and carry out the order!"

"Yes!"

When the order was issued, the catapult crew began to execute it, and net bags filled with stones were hung on the flywheel catapults.

The first round of stone bullet rain was fired very quickly, and the overwhelming stones fell on the city head and inside and outside the city wall. The guard Xue Tong hiding at the foot of the city wall was secretly happy for his decision. This time the decision was right. If Still staying on the city wall, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties again.

In the army formation outside the city, Zhao Junsheng wondered: "It seems that there are not many people on the city wall, but Wang Huilong ordered to rain stones and bullets. What the hell is he doing?"

Hua Mulan said from the side: "Hey, hey, how did you become the lord? Since you let him direct, you should trust him and don't interfere with his decisions casually!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junsheng said quickly, "I didn't interfere, I was just confused! Well, I'll shut up first, and I'll speak after the war is over, okay?"

Hua Mulan said: "I think General Wang should have his own ideas, and he won't be aimless!"

Dongfang Chen said at this time: "If your guess is right, Wang Huilong saw that there were not many defenders on the city wall. On the one hand, he suspected that they were hiding under the wall; While avoiding the rain of stone bullets, although the rain of stone bullets he launched has no attack effect, after the end, it can make the defenders rest assured to go to the city wall!"

More than half an hour had passed since the five rounds of stone bullets were fired. Not to mention the defenders and civilians inside the city, even the army outside the city felt terrified.

"General, the rain of five rounds of stone bullets has been fired!"

Wang Huilong listened to the report, but his eyes did not leave the city wall. Just after the rain of stone bullets ended, a large number of defenders appeared on the wall. This proved his guess, that is, the defenders had figured out the interval between the rain of stone bullets fired by the dry army. Time, the number of launches, and so on.

"Order, let the flywheel catapult unit hang the fire oil tank!"

"As ordered!"

The soldiers of the catapult crew began to get busy again. One by one, the fire oil tanks were put into the net bag. In order to ensure that the fire oil tank would not be blown out by the wind when flying in the air, they filled the net bag made of hemp rope. It is all soaked in kerosene, and the hemp rope soaked in kerosene will not be burned in a short time, which is enough to support the net bag and launch the kerosene tank

.

In order to shorten the launch time as much as possible and ensure that the fire oil tank is launched before the net bag is burned, the procedures and steps of the entire catapult unit must follow orders, and the actions must be consistent.

"Fire!" the commander ordered.

The soldiers responsible for the ignition of each trebuchet immediately held up torches and quickly lit the net bags one by one.

Immediately after all the net bags containing the kerosene cans were ignited, the commander immediately ordered: "Cavalry set off!"

The knights pulled the rope and rushed back quickly, the flywheel began to spin, accelerating, getting faster and faster, all the net bags hanging on the flywheel were burning and spinning, like big fireballs spinning fast.

When the pawns at the top of the catapult pushed out the sharp blades, the ropes were cut one by one, and these big fireballs "swish..." flew quickly towards the city wall one by one.

"What is that?" Some of the defenders on the top of the city couldn't help but shouted.

Everyone looked up at the rain of fire falling from the sky, Xue Tong was the first to come back to his senses, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Hide, hide! Hide under the female wall, put your shield on top of your head ,Hurry up!"

At this time, it was too late for the soldiers to run down the city wall, so the soldiers could only find cover to hide.

The fuel tanks flew very fast in the sky, and one by one fell on the city wall and inside and outside the city wall like raindrops.

"Bang bang bang..." After the fire oil tank fell to the ground, it was all smashed into pieces, and the fire oil mixed with firelighters splashed out, and was ignited by the flames after falling.

Countless kerosene burned on the city wall, and many of the defenders hiding under the female wall and the defenders who shielded their heads with shields were not spared.

"Ah—" Countless living people on the city wall ran around and screamed, and some people kept falling down the city wall.

Before the soldiers of the defenders recovered from the chaotic and tragic fire, the second wave of kerosene bombs fell again, and the fire suddenly doubled.

The defenders who hadn't been burned ran down the city screaming in fright. At this time, no one's orders worked. The crowded stone ladders on the city wall became the only way to survive. Severe blockage, a large number of soldiers were pushed down by the companions behind, and countless people were trampled to death and injured.

"Swish..." Another wave of kerosene tanks fell, smashing and splashing a large amount of kerosene. The kerosene was ignited. was burned.

"Ah—" The screams came from far away, and countless burning people ran around, but they were not spared in the end.

After the five rounds of kerosene bombs were fired, the entire city wall was in flames inside and outside the city wall. The rolling logs used by the defenders on the city wall, the huge tripod for hanging pendulums, the enemy tower, and the city gate tower were all burned. When lit, the flames soared into the sky, turning half of the sky red.
