My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Since ancient times, fire has frequently appeared in human wars.

This was not the first time for many generals to see a fire siege, and many generals had even personally conducted fire attacks.

However, no one has ever seen such a terrifying flame!

Generally, animal and vegetable oils are used when attacking a city with flames, and the wooden structures on the city walls such as catapults, ballistas, city gates, turrets, and gate towers are also ignited.

But now, the city walls and racetracks made of bricks and stones seemed to be on fire, making the soldiers do not know how to hide.

The defenders on the city wall were wailing and wailing, trying all means to be unable to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

From time to time, soldiers who were on fire would scream and jump off the city wall and jump into the moat, trying to drown the flames on themselves with the water in the moat.

However, the result was that the moat also burst into flames!

Looking at the tragic situation in Xicheng from a distance, many Qin army officers and soldiers looked panic-stricken.

Even if it can't be splashed with water, it can actually set a river on fire? !

Is this still hot?

This is clearly a monster!

Even Ying Chengyu felt very uncomfortable when he saw this purgatory created by himself.

Yang Hu raised his hand and closed Zhang's chin, rode his horse closer, and asked in a low voice:

"General, you... know magic?"

At this moment, Yang Hu looked at Ying Chengyu with awe.

If you know magic, you should have told me earlier!

If I had known earlier, why would I have followed Fan Yuqi to cause trouble?

I knelt down in front of you and banged my head twice, begging you to take me to practice together!

Ying Chengyu said in a complicated voice: "This is not magic, this is oil."

Yes, the liquid in the jar is oil!

Without Ying Chengyu's intervention, China's first use of oil in combat would have occurred in the Battle of Jiuquan against the Turks in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

And that year was 578 AD!

Since then, oil has been used in various battlefields in the name of fierce oil, becoming an important weapon for attacking and defending cities.

According to descriptions in classics such as "Hanshu", "Houhanshu", and "Natural History", the oil in northwest China is so abundant that it floats on the water, and the oil in northeastern China can gush out like a spring without being exploited.

However, even this large amount of shallow oil was not enough to meet the needs of wars for more than a thousand years. By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it needed to pay tribute and import supplies from vassal countries such as Champa.

Now, this war monster has been released on the battlefield 816 years in advance by Ying Chengyu!

Yang Hu nodded in understanding: "The oil that can ignite stones is indeed a magical oil!"

In one sentence, Ying Chengyu lost his emotions and simply asked: "Is the sand in the first camp ready?"

Yang Hu nodded immediately: "One hundred carts of sand have already been sent to the Xianden Camp."

Ying Chengqiao nodded slightly: "Send the order to the camp first."

"Let a hundred pioneer warriors drive and pull sand to go ahead. If there is a fire, use sand to extinguish it. Do not use water to extinguish the fire."

"Create a smooth path for our army!"

The order was too complicated, and the ordering soldiers immediately rode their horses to the camp.

After hearing the order from the messenger, Zhou Yan immediately asked: "Sand can extinguish this fire, but water can't extinguish it?"

The ordering soldier raised his hand and responded: "The general said that covering the fire with sand can put out the fire."

"But water will only fuel the fire. Captain Lao Zhou must keep this in mind and avoid causing unnecessary casualties."

Zhou Yan returned the salute with his hands raised: "Yes!"

After responding to the order, Zhou Yan looked at the group of warriors who had arrived first and spoke in a deep voice:

"Order, send ten people from each of the seventh to sixteenth villages to drive and sprinkle sand to extinguish the fire."

"The rest hold ladders and wooden shields and climb up first to seize the city!"

However, this time, the pioneer warriors who had long been determined to die were afraid.

Water can never be wiped out!

Struggle not to break free!

A huge moment!

This has gone beyond their understanding of flames! Who is not afraid?

Zhou Yan shouted angrily: "Afraid? I'm so scared!"

"The general said that water cannot extinguish this fire, but sand and soil can!"

"And the fire was set by the general. If the general can set it, can't he put it back?"

"Let's take a look at Xicheng!"

"No one is willing to defend the city now. This is a God-given opportunity!"

"You dare not take advantage of this military merit that is so easily available to you?"

"If you don't dare to go up, change someone else!"

Looking at the city gate covered by fire, the first warriors finally made up their minds and shouted:

"only!"

Zhou Yan nodded happily: "This is my warrior of Great Qin!"

"Here's to you all!"

After drinking all the wine in the bowl, the five hundred pioneer warriors howled again and rushed towards Xicheng.

This time, there were no arrows or rocks to stop their attack.

The first warriors marched straight in and arrived at the city gate unscathed.

Picking up the hammer that the defenders had thrown down before, more than a dozen warriors who arrived first used their strength at the same time to slam the hammer into the burning city gate.

After just three rounds of impact, the city gate burst open!

"The city is broken! I should climb first!"

"Hold the city gate and wait for the army!"

"Go first! Go first!"

Seeing the city gate collapse, Ying Chengyu's eyes lit up and he shouted in a serious voice:

"Send the order to Feng Ting, the crossbowmen stop shooting, and the entire front army attacks the city!"

"The Chinese army will temporarily protect the general, and the personal soldiers will enter the city! The military officials will enter the city!"

"Restrain the army, do not allow the army to extinguish fire with water, do not allow the army to plunder and massacre!"

"Point the flag forward!"

Behind Ying Chengyu, various flags were swaying.

The tallest flag with the word "Win" embroidered on it points towards Xicheng at a 45° angle.

Ying Chenglong drinks again:

"Beat the victory drum!"

Eight warriors with strong biceps took off their upper clothes, took out their drumsticks, and smashed them heavily on the main Fengu.

The big drum, which was eight feet long, had a four-foot drum head, and was covered with leather on both sides, was beaten hard!

"Boom! Boom!"

The decisive drum resounded throughout the battlefield, and the hearts of every Qin soldier seemed to be on fire.

This is the order for a general attack!

Fight to the death! Decisive victory!

Feng Ting drew out the sword from his waist without hesitation and shouted angrily:

"wind!"

The 20,000 regular troops in the front army shouted in unison:

"wind!"

"wind!"

"Gale!"

Accompanied by the cry, 20,000 front troops and 10,000 personal soldiers swarmed towards the damaged city gate.

Looks like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves!

Zhang Da and Chen He fled down the city wall in disgrace, and saw that the city gate behind them had been knocked open.

Zhang Da sighed in despair: "It's over!"

"We faced 100,000 Qin troops with 10,000 county troops, but they couldn't hold on for even a day."

"This officer is guilty!"

Chen He wiped the cigarette ashes from his face and said in a deep voice: "The battle is not defeated yet."

"It is only the militia that was lost this time. None of the county soldiers in the city are at the north gate. They are all fresh troops."

"We can still rely on the county government to continue to defend the city, and then order the county soldiers to fight in the streets of the city."

"If the two sides are in close combat, the Qin army will not dare to set fire again!"

Zhang Da asked back: "What if the Qin army set fire to the county government office regardless of casualties? What should we do?"

Chen He shouted angrily: "What should we do? All we have to do is die!"

"If we can't hold on for even one day, I will be ashamed of my expectations of the king, and let alone my family members!"

Zhang Da looked at Chen He with complicated eyes: "I will go to Wancheng to ask for help now, and I will also ask for credit for Chen County Lieutenant."

Chen He looked at Zhang Da in disbelief.

There is no doubt that Zhang Da's words meant that he was going to escape.

Immediately, Chen He sighed softly.

Only death is the helplessness faced by people with no background like Chen He.

But as a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Da would only be held accountable even if he lost a battle, and he would still be promoted when he should be promoted.

Zhang Da has many choices!

Chen He said no more, just bowed his hands and said, "Please Shangguan, please say a few kind words for me."

Zhang Da nodded heavily: "Definitely!"

After saying this, Zhang Da summoned his servants, got on his horse and headed towards the east gate.

Watching Zhang Da leave, Chen He ordered in a deep voice:

"The whole army retreats and retreats to the county government office!"
