Zhao Kuangyin looked at the Jurchen Sergeant coldly, and he was continuously pouring up to Shuzhou City along the roads high on both sides of Shuzhou City with soil bags and firewood.
The dung road is a step-like pile of soil bags and firewood. When it is almost as high as the city wall, the soldiers can naturally be allowed to climb up the city wall along this step-shaped dung road. Although this method is time-consuming A labor-intensive and clumsy method, but once the formation is completed, the soldiers can ascend to the city as if they are on the ground without the help of a ladder. However, at present, the Jurchen army is several times the city’s defenders and has already besieged Shuzhou city regiments, and there is no change. Pile up the road, really can be regarded as the only way to conquer the city.
only…
Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Gui looked at each other, and smiles appeared from the corners of their mouths.
Jin Wushu Ah Jin Wushu, this time I really want to thank you for your kind words.
"Zi... Zi..."
With an order from Wang Gui, the Sergeants of Song Dynasty who had been preparing to be everywhere in the city, poured a pot of boiling oil down the city wall, only to hear the screams, and the Jin who had climbed up along the city head. The sergeants were soaked that they fell into the city one after another.
At the sound of the machine, dozens of giant crossbows were fired at the head of the city, and the rockets were nailed everywhere in the road.
These rockets are comfortable with cross barbs under the sharp arrows, which are firmly nailed to the road. The two long roads are wrapped by the arrow and under the fire of oil-stained cotton balls. Jinger suddenly ignited into a skyrocketing fire, and the walls that had been scorched by the tar of the war for decades seemed to have been lit up in that instant. At that moment, the fire rose on the four high walls of Shuzhou City. , The smoke billowed, and the Jurchen sergeants on the road almost didn't even have time to utter a wailing, they were already buried in the sea of flames, and the scorching smell spread all over this area, the scene was extremely tragic.
Hundreds of thousands of people under the city shouted in unison, Song Jun shouted and encouraged, but the Jurchens under the city shouted and cursed themselves, the fire was raging, smoke and flames rose to the sky, the roads collapsed, the fire was splashed, and for a time Shuzhou A raging fire spread outside the city, and Jing Ersheng separated the Jurchen for a certain distance.
Wan Yanyong and Han Chang shouted and commanded from side to side, without turning their heels, they gathered the retreating soldiers and horses in amazement, and Qi Qi retreated a certain distance to open up the overwhelming heat.
Wan Yan Yong wiped the blood stains on his face, reined his horse and turned around, and came to Jin Wushu who was squinting his eyes and looking towards the city. Looking at the fire that suddenly started under the city of Shuzhou, his face was shocked. The Jurchen sergeant deliberately said loudly: "This group of Nanbarians has no resistance to it, and even these tricks of drinking a dove to quench their thirst have been used, and the city wall has been roasted in the fire, and see how I treat that favorite as a shrunken head. The Nanban emperor of Turtle came out of Shuzhou City. I want to see how long they can survive?!"
The Jurchen sergeants standing around all laughed at themselves, their faces relaxed a lot, and they responded with fun.
They are all the generations who have been in the army for a long time, and they have experienced more than a dozen siege battles. Even if they have not personally seen them, they all naturally know this method of temporarily stopping the offensive with the help of fire.
Although this method is extremely effective, if it is not in desperation, few people will really adopt it.
After all, under the encirclement of fire, the siege army could not get in, but the guard sergeant in the city could not get out. After all, it was a dead end, and even the road to breakthrough that could be done before was cut off.
Moreover, under the burning fire, whether it is a city wall made of bluestone or a gate made of hardwood, it is the most vulnerable place. Moreover, the soldiers and civilians trapped in the city will inevitably be short of food after the war, and they are anxious. The qi, after the fiery fire roasting, and the odor of thick smoke, even if it is not just falling sick, it will be exhausted physically and mentally, and the combat power will be weakened again.
Instead, the siege army is nothing more than retreating a certain distance and waiting for work. After all, they are hunters at this time, not prey. For them, there is no lack of time and patience.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xun guarded Suiyang and fought against the Anlu Mountain rebels. The lonely city was full of blood for several months. Later, he was really helpless. He also set fire to the city and used the power of fire to block the rebels. After the fire was exhausted, he was really helpless. Before the reinforcements arrived, many of the sergeants in the city were grilled and lost their vitality, and eventually the city was destroyed.
"Boom... boom..."
The flames under the city were puffing out loud, and the fire was actually getting stronger. The thick smoke and black clouds, coupled with the steaming heat, made the city of Shuzhou, which was close to the opposite side, in a trance.
Jin Wushu frowned.
When the fire started, he felt that something was wrong.
Although it was midsummer at this time, the vicinity of Shuzhou City was scorched dry by the unending war for days, and the upper layer of the road was paved with firewood, which is very easy to catch fire, but since you can choose when attacking the city With the method of building the Dao, you will not fail to be prepared for the fire attack.
So the high barrier road is only a thin layer of firewood, but the front side is filled with sand and other heat-insulating materials. Even if the boiled oil rocket is used to ignite the road in Shuzhou City, the fire is not broken. It may be ignited to such an extent in such a short time.
The only possibility is that the Song army on the front of the city had already planned for a long time, so when their own sergeants piled up the road, they already mixed rosin, hay and other flammable substances in the defense of the city. Throwing things secretly into the Dang Dao, today's wind direction is precisely Shuzhou City is at the upper end, so that it is possible for the fire to take advantage of the wind to create such a big fire in one fell swoop.
It seems that they have already lost their hearts and want to fight with themselves endlessly? !
Jin Wushufu had this idea in his life, but he was immediately puzzled.
impossible!
If this city is all steel sergeants who have experienced many battles, it would be fine to choose this kind of tactics.
But right now in the city of Shuzhou, there is clearly a Southern Kingdom's emperor, who is the Venerable of Wancheng. Does this guarding general dared to put the emperor's safety at risk and let this Venerable of Wancheng personally risk it? !
Could it be that his information was wrong, when did the emperor sneak out of the city? !
Or, in this city of Shuzhou, is there any arrangement that I don't know? !
When Jin Wushu thought of this, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and he asked the sergeants who were besieged on all sides to wake up their spirits, and he still wanted to surround the burning city like an iron barrel; at the same time he dispatched a few more " Anxious ghost", reconnaissance on all sides, but there are reinforcements from the Song State, rushing here.
Seeing that he was ready for everything, for some reason, the uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger.
The wind is violent, and the situation in Shuzhou City is no longer clearly visible to anyone.
Jin Wushu raised his head, the sky was a bit dark, and the flames were magnificent, illuminating the entire Shuzhou City.
This war has finally come to an end.
Everything, only wait until the moment when the fire is extinguished, you can see a clear understanding.
