Martial Sage
Chapter 243: Fire Attack Technique
Seeing the soldiers tumbling in the fire and smelling the pungent breath in the air, Li Wanqing's complexion changed drastically.
Fierce oil!
These flying rocket arrows actually carry fierce fire oil.
This kind of fuel, which is mostly used for lighting, was actually used by Turkic soldiers to attack the city. At this moment, the power really cannot be underestimated.
Especially with this fierce kerosene, the fire is swift and violent. Extinguishing it with water will only make the fire bigger, which is really a headache.
Unexpectedly, this Turkic stroke has such a large amount of violent fire and oil!
Seeing a steady stream of rockets flying at the city head, it inadvertently ignited the boiling oil that was about to be poured on the Turkic soldiers, and the city head was instantly enveloped in a sea of fire.
Datang's soldiers both had to avoid the fire and arrows. They were a little confused in the faint, and the offensive was suffocated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Turkic soldiers had already bullied the North Gate.
"boom"
"boom"
The sound of hitting the wood against the city gate was endless.
"The city gate! The city gate is about to break!"
There was a voice from the bottom of the city with a little panic, and it made Li Wanqing on the top of the city feel cold and shouted.
"Hold the gate and put the rolling stone!"
Under this order, a new hope was ignited for the slightly flustered Da Tang soldiers, and they retreated the rolling stones that were standing on the city wall.
Boom boom boom.
With a loud noise, the Turkic soldiers who hit the door instantly drowned in the rocks.
The wailing sounded again, and the momentum that hit the city gate gradually stopped.
Li Wanqing looked at the corpses of Turkic soldiers all over the city, and couldn't help but feel frightened secretly.
Datang was struggling to support it, while Turkic's side was shocked.
The Turkic leader looked at the piles of corpses of Turkic soldiers in front of Xiangcheng, and couldn't help frowning.
This time, such a big damage was unexpected, but the stubborn resistance of the Datang guard made him a little surprised.
The lieutenant next to the Turkic leader looked at these corpses and couldn't bear it, said.
"General, why don't we come here today, and when the siege equipment arrives tomorrow, wouldn't it be easy?"
But this Xiangcheng has already been captured halfway, so it is a pity to give up like this!
But it would be unwise to rely solely on these soldiers to attack.
The Turkic general pondered for a moment, drew his scimitar, and shouted.
"withdraw!"
With the sound of a melodious horn, the Turkic soldiers who were attacking the city suddenly stopped, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
"Withdrawn?"
Li Wanqing was puzzled.
I don't know whether this surprise is happy or worried, then he waved his jade hand and said.
"The whole army, be on guard!"
...
Under the night.
Tang Hao led 20,000 cavalrymen, rushing to the open field, this time he was about to rush to Xiangcheng.
That was the place where I first battled and wiped out the enemy, and it was also the only way to go to the Turkic grassland. This stop will be the beginning of my journey to Yinshan. If I step on this road, I will never retreat.
Just as Tang Hao's thoughts were flying, a scout Zongma came forward and said eagerly.
"General, news from Xiangcheng, more than ten thousand Turkic cavalry are heading towards Xiangcheng."
Hearing this, Tang Hao was slightly taken aback.
It stands to reason that the Turkic army is still on the front line of Deyang and has not yet begun a full-scale war.
Why is there a war breaking out at this moment, far from Xiangcheng in Deyang?
Wu Tong frowned slightly and said in thought.
"Lord, this Xiangcheng is far away from Deyang. Even if it is captured, it will not have much effect on the battle."
"What's more, Xiangcheng is now stationed with five thousand soldiers. It is not easy to attack it. What is the intention of this Turkic army?"
Tang Hao, who straddled Wu Hao and galloped across the wild, thought a little, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Unexpectedly, this Jie Li Khan is also a master who can draw inferences from one another."
"Don't you think that Jie Li Khan's move is somewhat similar to my rush to Yinshan?"
After Tang Hao reminded him like this, Wu Tong followed Tang Hao's meaning and made a comparison, and suddenly realized it.
Although the number of Turkic troops is now dominant, it is certainly not easy to break through the tens of thousands of Tang troops in one fell swoop.
If it is a surprise attack on Xiangcheng, breaks through the city, and detours to the rear of Datang, it is indeed a surprise. At that time, the Datang army will put a lot of pressure on the Datang army, regardless of whether it is divided.
In other words, even if the city cannot be attacked, the garrison in this city will convey that among the Turkic army, if there is a stalemate on the frontal battlefield, Jie Li Khan may not be able to transfer the frontal battlefield, attacking Xiangcheng, breaking Datong, Close to Chang'an.
In this way, the battle in Xiangcheng gave Jie Li Khan an extra way out.
Wu Tong sneered and said.
"With these ten thousand soldiers and soldiers, I also want to break through the city of Xiang where no predecessor is garrisoned. What's more, it's all cavalry. Isn't it a foolish dream?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao's heart was shocked.
Logically speaking, after more than a month of repairs in Xiangcheng, it is as inferior as it is. It is more than 10,000 people, even if it is 30,000 people, it is not easy to attack, let alone the case of a full cavalry.
Even when he first attacked Xiangcheng, he relied on unborn gunpowder to have miraculous effects.
Jie Li Khan will not be stupid enough to let these more than ten thousand soldiers go to death!
Kerosene!
Tang Hao suddenly had this idea in his mind.
The Western Regions are the territory of the Western Turks. In recent days, the appearance of a large amount of kerosene in the Western Region caravans is a sign. If it is between the Western Turks and the East Turks, some kerosene trading is also normal.
But if it is an official transaction, it is not a simple transaction between kerosene, but a transaction of fierce kerosene.
This kind of oil is the raw material of petroleum, and the output at this time is very small, and it is rarely used for siege.
The case of fire attack has not been heard much before the Tang, but it was extremely widespread in the following Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and Song Dynasty.
This time, Jie Li Khan can be said to have exhausted all his strength, and it is no surprise that he used such a luxurious thing.
If this is the case, facing this kind of thing that has not yet attended the three on the battlefield, those five thousand soldiers may not be able to defend Xiangcheng!
Thinking of this, Tang Hao's expression shrank, and he shouted.
"Non-stop! Hurry to Xiangcheng!"
