Chapter 38 Fire Suppression
On a quiet night, an ice sculpture stood on the ground. From a distance, under the cold moonlight, the entire ice sculpture had strange ripples floating on the outside, and countless black shadows inside seemed to become restless, as if they could break out of the ice at any time.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The bitter northwest wind passed by the city with a heart-pounding scream, as if countless unjust souls were chirping in their ears, which made the defenders tremble and looked down at the city in a panic.
Through the almost translucent ice shell, you can vaguely see the faces under the ice layer, and the various expressions before your death such as pain, fear and despair are particularly chilling!
The Huns' religion believed that human souls live in the head and are immortal. If they can be buried after death, they will become gods. The larger the tomb, the richer the burial objects, the higher the level of gods! On the contrary, if the corpse cannot be buried in peace, the soul will turn into a ghost!
Suddenly, a crisp sound of "Do you want to be slap~!" came!
All the defenders' hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they twisted their heads like a conditioned counterattack and found that the weapon in a companion's hand fell to the ground.
Everyone patted their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief. One of them cursed angrily: "Old Wang, do you want to scare people to death?"
"Sorry, sorry!" Old Wang hurriedly clamored, bowed everywhere, and then picked up the weapon, but a silence appeared on his face. After a long time, hesitated: "Look, can our army defend the city?"
Another soldier rushed up, covered his mouth, looked around for a while, and then cursed in a low voice: "You want to jump off the city to death, don't harm everyone! Whether you can hold on or not, it's not our heart. Remember, keep your mouth in mind, do you hear it?" After saying that, he looked carefully at the left and right, and then slowly loosened his hands.
"Yes, yes!" Old Wang nodded quickly, hugged the weapon again, copied it with both hands, and leaned on it.
After a brief false alarm, the city wall returned to peace. But Lao Wang's words were deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
"Can our army defend the city?"
In the tense atmosphere, two days passed, and the two armies were waiting for battle. Within five miles apart, there was a murderous aura. Even the goshawks were hovering in the sky far away and did not dare to fly over the sky.
The Jingguan, which stood between the two armies, still existed, and Liu Yue did not send anyone out of the city to destroy it. In his opinion, this was a shame, a naked face-slashing cry! Staying behind would help arouse the indomitable and anger of the soldiers.
The Liangzhou army would not be idle either. After moving the camp to the city that night, they seized the time to make the final preparations before the attack.
In the early morning of the fifth day of January, the camp became busy again, and teams of soldiers rushed out of the camp in neat formations. Today, they were attacking the Rizi!
Due to insufficient troops and equipment, Yunfeng was unable to launch a crazy attack from all directions. He could only adopt the old method of surrounding three and one. He set up 10,000 cavalry at the South Gate and the North Gate, and personally led 20,000 cavalry and 35,000 infantrymen launched an attack from the West Gate.
Soon, the entire army stopped two miles away from the city. Yunfeng looked up and saw that although there were shadows on the top of the city, there were no large-scale defending equipment. As for the catapult, there was no trace. It seemed that the power of the sulli-bomb left a deep impression on them.
There was a silence between heaven and earth, and countless eyes were cast on this handsome man standing in front of the military formation and riding a blood-red horse. He could determine the life and death of thousands of people with one word, and a thought could determine the survival of the city in front of him. Every move would have a huge impact on millions of people!
Liu Yueru couldn't help but recall the little past events in the Princess's Mansion. She witnessed with her own eyes the whole process of a little slave who was whipped by her to grow into a overlord.
However, there was an uncontrollable tenderness in the eyes of Yao Jing and the sisters of Han. The one who stood in front of the formation on a sweat-blooded BMW was the man they liked. No one in the world could compare to!
Su Qizhen's mood was also fluctuating. It was precisely because of the appearance of this man that she saved her from her nightmarish past. However, a figure also lived in her heart from then on.
Both Geng brothers and sisters showed complex and difficult-to-understand expression on their faces. No matter what their opinions about this person, we have to admit that only he is Zhang Lingyun's best match.
The soldiers lined up in neat formations were full of admiration and admiration, waiting for their general to issue the order of general attack!
As for the Zhao army on the top of the city, they were full of hatred and fear. They wished that they could drop a thunder from heaven on the spot and kill this demon-like man in front of them!
Yunfeng also had a lot of thoughts. Only by conquering Shangji can he hold Qinzhou in his hand and take a crucial step in fighting the world.
Looking at the faces on the city wall with different expressions, Yun Feng took a deep breath of cold air, and a very comfortable cold current entered his lungs through his throat. The strong stimulation calmed his mood a little.
He slowly raised his arm and pressed it down with force. Yun Feng shouted: "Go!"
The infantry formation immediately changed. The crossbow mixed with hundreds of catapults was dragged out by war horses. Following them were siege equipment such as chariots and ladders. The cavalry on both wings also advanced forward, but followed by the cavalry, thousands of carriages piled with heavy sieve bags.
At the same time, the back of the city wall was also a busy scene, with hundreds of catapults distributed far away, and the craftsmen were nervously conducting the final debugging. The residents in the house had long been driven to the state government for unified supervision. Once the city was broken, the Zhao army would rely on the house to fight to the death. In the city gate, hundreds of soldiers were working together to push a door-sticking knives into it.
The door-sticking knife trolley has two wheels and the width of the car is almost the same as the city gate. There are three to four wooden frames in front of the car, which can be used for soldiers to climb and strike out. Several sharp knives are fixed on each floor, especially the front knife wall is equipped with twenty-four holes! When used, push the car to the back of the city gate, which can not only kill the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones. It is like a barrier to movement.
"Stop~!" The messenger waved the flag and the entire army stopped steadily at 450 steps from the city.
This time, the catapult led the attack first. With the continuous buzzing sound, the fireballs in the sky rose into the air and smashed towards the city wall. In a blink of an eye, a raging flames ignited on the top of the city, and the three-story wooden towers were also ignited, causing a sky-high fire amid the sound of wood bursting.
Yun Feng felt a little regretful, but he could not imagine it. He could only watch the city tower burning, and the defenders retreated to the city when the catapult was just dispatched, so there were no casualties.
Yunfeng's purpose is not this. He only needs to suppress the firepower on the city.
