After being kicked out by her ado...

Chapter 219: Grandsons, try the power of Molotov cocktails!

The enemy launched an attack again, and a dense stream of people slowly came towards Zhiyi City.

On the city wall, the Dajing army was holding compound bows and Qing bows, and their arrows were covered with diesel and gold juice.

Xiao Jingzhou estimated the distance and saw that the enemy was closing in step by step.

He yelled, "Release!"

The burning rocket left a wisp of black smoke in the air and flew down like a meteor.

The rockets were extremely hot, and if they landed on the fabric at the joints of the enemy's armor, the entire body would be ignited in an instant.

Even if the arrows dipped in gold juice cannot kill the enemy immediately, they can cause the enemy's wounds to rot and the high fever to fail to heal.

The Qing bow had great destructive power, and an arrow shot by a strong person could penetrate the enemy's shield.

The weak armor can be shot through.

“Go!”

...

...

“Kill!”

370,000 enemy troops swarmed in like a wave, trying to overthrow Zhiyi City.

Bows and arrows have always been used to stop the enemy and slow down their attack, but at that time they seemed extremely powerless.

Chen Gan pulled the bow hard and shot the arrow, saying, "I said we should not provoke the enemy.

If 370,000 people rushed up, they could trample us to death with just their legs. ”

Qi Hou felt very happy after scolding today, and the ambition aroused in his heart had not yet been extinguished.

He said: "Your Highness said that this is called morale."

"In order to prevent the soldiers from getting scared before the battle, we have to dampen the enemy's morale first."

Chen Gan shouted, "Oh no! The enemy has arrived at the city and started setting up ladders."

This time, the enemy brought in just as many ladders as in the previous two battles.

Gu Zhenbei ordered loudly: "Archers can't stop, hurry up and use Molotov cocktails!"

The Molotov cocktails were laid out neatly, and the soldiers reached into their pockets for lighters.

After lighting the Molotov cocktail, he threw it hard at the soldiers setting up the ladder.

Qi Hou threw the Molotov cocktail and shouted, "Grandsons, have a taste of the power of the Molotov cocktail!"

"Bang!"

“Bang! Bang!”

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The glass bottle exploded and diesel flowed onto the ground, the ladder, and the armor.

A fire suddenly broke out under the city wall.

Black smoke continued to rise, and painful wails were heard from below the city wall.

"Eyes, my eyes!"

"Ah! Legs, my legs!"

With an army of more than 300,000 soldiers attacking the city, the vanguard troops had no way to retreat and could only charge forward.

The enemy army was rushing towards us like flies.

Yang Jin cursed in a low voice: "Damn it!"

“I can’t even drive this away!”

He looked into the distance and found that the Liang army had brought in a ladder truck.

The thin ladder can also be pushed out with a wooden fork.

The ladder truck was invented by Lu Gong. Using this vehicle to attack a city can increase the chances of winning by at least three points.

He widened his eyes and shouted, "Not good!"

"Quick, quick, send someone to inform His Highness that the enemy is going to use a ladder truck to attack the city!"

Xiao Jingzhou looked down at the city and saw not only the ladder truck, but also seven or eight siege vehicles.

This time the siege vehicle has been improved, and someone can even stand on the vehicle to give commands.

Xiao Jingzhou picked up a few Molotov cocktails, tied them up with cloth strips, then lit the thick hemp rope and threw them onto the ladder truck.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

Flames burst into the sky, and Xiao Jingzhou was knocked back a few steps by the heat wave.

“Your Highness!”

Lu Chen hurried over to help him. Fortunately, Xiao Jingzhou only had ashes on his face, and there were no scars or blood on his body.

Xiao Jingzhou gently pushed Lu Chen away and stepped forward to look down at the city to check the situation.

Lu Chen followed closely behind.

When he saw the ladder truck below the city start to burn, his dark face smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Great! Now the ladder truck is destroyed!"

The power of a bundle of Molotov cocktails is several times that of a single one.

Xiao Jingzhou said, "Quick, tell them to tie up the Molotov cocktails with cloth strips and blow them up at the ladder trucks and siege vehicles!"

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

Bows and arrows, Molotov cocktails, a two-pronged approach.

The enemy troops who climbed up the ladders were also shot down by the "Gatling" fireworks.

There were so many enemy troops under the city that the Dajing Army on the city swung their weapons so hard that their arms became numb.

Xiao Jingzhou saw it all.

“Boom boom boom!”

There was a loud noise from the north gate, and the city wall began to shake.

"The siege vehicle has begun to attack the city!"

"Quick! Send more Molotov cocktails over here!"

Xiao Jingzhou looked outside the city and saw that the enemy troops were already blood-thirsty and would not give up until they achieved their goal.

He knew that this was not a solution. Once the Dajing army relaxed a little, the enemy troops below the city would be able to use ladders to climb up the city gate.

By then, when the city gates are lost, what will be the fate of the people of Zhiyi City?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Lu Chen returned and brought Chen Gan with him.

Xiao Jingzhou ordered: "Pass on my order and have Yang Jin lead a group of soldiers to guard the city gate.

If the enemy forces reach the city gates, we must not allow them to harm the civilians. ”

Lu Chen accepted the order: "Yes!"

Chen Gan said: "Your Highness, the people are all under the city wall, waiting for your orders.

The city gate was about to be broken, and they also wanted to do their part to stop Yicheng. ”

“The common people don’t know how to use knives to kill people, but they work with hoes all year round, so their arm strength is quite strong.

Let them throw Molotov cocktails, they will definitely be top-notch experts! ”

"In addition, the 25,000 captives also requested to fight."

The prisoners were wearing Dajing's clothes.

If the city is breached, no one will care whether they are friends or enemies, they will all be killed, not to mention that they were the executioners in the first place.

I know better what the outcome will be.

Chen Gan: "The prisoners want to protect themselves, but they also want to surrender to you."

Xiao Jingzhou said: "Let half of them go up to the tower, and let the people below carry the Molotov cocktails. It's not like they are being kept alone for free!"

"In addition, all the women and elders in the city who have a bit of strength, please lend a helping hand to me!"

"Let them make Molotov cocktails and coat their arrows with gold."

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Gan's eyes: "Yes!"

Above the city gate, Gu Zhenbei led his men to throw Molotov cocktails at the siege vehicle, which was soon set on fire.

Unfortunately, the amount of oil in the Molotov cocktail was too little to completely cover the flames.

Gu Zhenbei ordered someone to bring a basin of oil and poured it down with a splash.

A beam of fire shot up more than ten meters high, and the man holding the oil basin was blown away by the heat wave of the fire.

The copper basin flew several meters away and fell to the ground with a ping-pong sound.

The man who poured the oil had his eyebrows burned off, and his face and hands were burned. He was writhing on the ground in pain.

Gu Zhenbei: "Quick, take him down for treatment."

He looked down at the city below, and saw the siege vehicles ablaze with flames.

Corpses piled up on both sides of the wheels, blood gushed out, and black smoke wrapped in flames constantly licked the surrounding combustible materials.

The Dajing army on the city wall immediately cheered when they saw this.

"The siege vehicle is broken!"

"The general is mighty!"

Before they could cheer, the sound of banging on doors began to be heard from downstairs in the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Gu Zhenbei leaned his hands against the wall and looked down at the city.

The Northern Liang army pushed the second siege vehicle and began to ram the burning first siege vehicle.

They tried to use the combined force to break down the city gate.

"What's going on?"

"The siege vehicle was on fire, and the backlash was so strong, why didn't the wooden pillars move?"

Gu Zhenbei originally thought that if the siege vehicles were burned, the enemy would not be able to touch them. Even if there were more siege vehicles behind them, they would not be able to hit the city gate.

In a flash, an idea flashed through his mind.

Gu Zhenbei's pupils widened: "Using hemp rope to fix it is a trick!"

"Their siege vehicles are mortise and tenon structures."

“As long as the mortise and tenon joints are not destroyed, the car will still be able to withstand the force!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Dajing Army, which had been cheering, suddenly quieted down.

"How can this be done?"

"The enemy has several more siege vehicles lined up behind us!"
