Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 574: Fire oil retreat

The Jingzhou Army is like a tiger that wants to choose people and eats it, slowly approaching the head of Yuyang City, not eager to make a fatal blow, but first use its momentum to force people to deter the enemy army in Yuyang City.

However, under Li Yan's command, Yuyang City is one heart and one heart, and there is no movement, but thousands of soldiers stand on the top of the city, motionless.

Cai Hao frowned: "This Li Yan is a bit general, nothing more, order the army to attack the city. Cai Zhong, you personally come forward to supervise the battle."

"promise!"

Cai Zhong replied with a fist, and then walked happily to the land outside Yuyang City, holding a yellow flag, and personally supervising the battle.

"Prepare the archer!"

"Fill the river!"

Thousands of Jingzhou Army surrounded Yuyang City on three sides. Realizing that they could not force the enemy to surrender, they finally launched a fierce attack.

Whoosh whoosh!

Under the suppression of the firepower of the Jingzhou Army archers, rows of Jingzhou Army pawns carrying wood, stones and other sundries in their hands rushed towards the moat of Yuyang City, rushed to the side of the moat, and immediately took what they were holding. The debris was thrown at the moat.

"Let go!"

Li Yan shouted, the archers of the Nanyang Army on the head of the city aimed at the soldiers under the wall and they shot indiscriminately, while the soldiers of Sergeant Jingzhou hurriedly raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows that fell on the city like locusts.

Although the arrow rain of the Nanyang Army fell, it was not effective, and the Jingzhou Army was crowded after all. Tens of thousands of troops kept filling the moat with debris, and the moat instantly floated up to a large water level. Is about to be filled.

Cai Zhong, who supervised the battle outside the city, smiled: "The moat is filled, won't it be easy to win Yuyang City by then?"

However, Li Yan still had a calm face, just waved his hand and said, "Pour fire oil."

"promise!"

The soldiers had long agreed in unison, and then two or three soldiers carried a small urn together, walked to the wall tremblingly, and opened the stopper. There was a thick black liquid inside, which had a pungent smell.

At the time of this group of soldiers, there were more than ten soldiers, each holding a torch in his hand, burning blazingly.

As the small urn was turned upside down, the kerosene stored in the urn slowly poured down on top of the wood and debris that filled the moat.

"ignition!"

More than a dozen torches were thrown down, falling on top of the kerosene, and they burned with a sound of "cock", the flames more than three feet high instantly jumped up, and the sultry temperature spread out.

"Ouch, not good!"

Many Jingzhou troops who were filling the river were shocked, and some Jingzhou troops were even more exposed to fire oil, and the flames suddenly burned.

"Help!"

A Jingzhou army who was on fire turned around and ran, threw his weapon to the ground, and reached out to slap the flames, but his body was stained with kerosene. No matter how he slapped it, he couldn’t get it off. He had to rush forward and slam directly. Into the Han River.

"Go, don't be contaminated by kerosene, you can't beat it!"

The Jingzhou army who was filling the river suddenly became a mess, turned around and ran, for fear of being contaminated with fire oil.

Cai Zhong was furious: "What are you doing? Don't retreat. If you dare to retreat without an order, you can't die?"

However, even so, the Jingzhou Army still turned around and ran away. What's the joke? It would be crazy to be burned to death without running away.

Cai Tao, who was far above the deck of the battleship, couldn't help but sighed when he saw this scene: "This Li Yan is a man, and he can burn the moat with fire oil."

In the filled moat, the flames leaped and burned. Although the Jingzhou Army was crowded and powerful, they were still afraid of the natural power of flame, and they stepped back and dared not move forward.

With the help of the opportunity of burning kerosene, the Jingzhou Army temporarily retreated, while the Nanyang Army on the head of the city temporarily won a respite.

Li Yan immediately ordered: "Lift down the injured brothers above the city, and carry some arrows up."

Previously, under the arrow rain of Jingzhou Army, more than ten Nanyang soldiers were injured and were carried down, and more siege materials were moved up. Hundreds of Nanyang troops on the front of the city were all waiting for them. .

Although the flame temporarily pushed back the front of the Jingzhou Army, as the flame gradually extinguished, the Jingzhou Army naturally made a comeback.

Cai Zhong shouted angrily: "Refill the river and siege the city for me!"

Thousands of Jingzhou troops swarmed again and launched a fierce attack on Yuyang City, but Li Yan was not chaotic at all, and commanded in an orderly manner.

"Let go!"

The Jingzhou Army and the Nanyang Army fired back and forth on the upper part of the city, while the Jingzhou Army rushed to the top of the city on a ladder.

"The sword and axe stepped forward and drove the Jingzhou army down."

Seeing the Jingzhou Army gradually climbed to the top of the city, the row of swordsmen standing behind the female wall suddenly pushed aside the crowd and walked forward. The armor he wore on his body was rather thick, and the sword and axe in his hand were sharply polished and shining.

At the beginning, Liu Ye was worried that his ability to attack fortifications was insufficient, so he required twenty heavy armors to be equipped in every army of a thousand people to form a team of swordsmen. Whether it was used to fight the enemy's field waves or defend the city, it was extremely important. it works.

"kill!"

A row of swordsmen rushed forward with heavy steps, and raised sharp swords and axes at the Jingzhou soldiers who rushed up. The moment they fell, blood suddenly burst out.

"what!"

Sergeant Jingzhou screamed again and again, because he must climb the ladder to attack the city, so he wears light armor that is easy to move. How can he withstand sharp and heavy swords?

Under the fierce attack of the sword and axe, the Jingzhou army who rushed to the city suddenly shed blood, causing a lot of casualties. And since the Jingzhou soldiers had already boarded the city, the archers of the Jingzhou Army could not continue to shoot their arrows regardless of the enemy and us, so the Jingzhou Army immediately fell into a deadlock.

When Cai Zhong saw this, he ordered a fierce attack. Cai Hao promised him to go out of town. This time he personally asked him to supervise the battle, just to give himself a chance to do meritorious service. If he can't attack, how to explain to Cai Hao. ?

Although Cai Zhong ordered a fierce attack, the Jingzhou Army was always contained above the city head, unable to advance. Suddenly, the Jingzhou Army's corpses were all over the city head.

"No way, if this goes on, I will just die for nothing, I won't fight!"

As a few Jingzhou soldiers turned around and ran, most of the Jingzhou soldiers who had been fighting hard couldn't support it immediately, and they all swaggered and turned and ran.

Cai Zhong's eyes blushed suddenly, carrying a knife and rushing forward, aiming at a Jingzhou soldier who had escaped from a rout, and chopped it down, and a head suddenly fell to the ground.

"Have you seen?" Cai Zhong roared: "Who dares to retreat without authorization? This is the end, no retreat is allowed! No-uh..."

Where did the defeated Jingzhou Soldier take care of him, a group of people rushed over and knocked Cai Zhong to the ground.
