The Elder Scrolls: Celestial Dynasty
Chapter 160
Cheng Tie stood on the arrow tower of the city wall, holding a pergola with his hands, and looked into the distance.
Under the attack of the archers, the rebels had to slow down the pace of filling the moats, but soon, a phalanx of several hundred people quickly walked out of the battle formation, lined up, and marched forward step by step.
When they had reached a certain distance, they stood still and began to draw their bows and arrows.
"All dodge!"
Cheng Tie ordered loudly, and the archers on the other side began to suppress.
Originally, within the range of the fire, their own archers could shoot at them, but because they had fired several rounds before, the physical consumption was very large, and the number of personnel was already at a disadvantage, therefore, avoiding its edge and preserving strength became the only option
, the moment the order was issued, the rebels' bows and arrows also flew densely from the air, and the sound of swishing through the air was like the wailing of death, summoning the disappearance of life.
The archers on the city wall quickly found concealment before the bows and arrows arrived, but fortunately, Cheng Tie's command was decisive and the soldiers were well-trained, so there were no casualties or losses in personnel.
But the enemy's suppression had an effect, and without the sniping of the archers on the walls, the moat was quickly filled with bags of earth, and the water inside overflowed and spread in all directions.
Seeing that the time had come, General Liu Han waved his hand, ordered the flag to be waved, and the siege team began to move.
Groups of soldiers with grabbing ropes and ladders rushed forward, and if they could run a few more steps forward before the opposing soldiers' counterattack appeared, they would be a few closer to victory.
Several huge siege engines were also surrounded by many soldiers and slowly moved forward, once they reached the city wall and approached it, the siege soldiers could climb the city wall from its interior and fight the enemy face to face.
The soldiers on the city walls seemed to have been completely suppressed by their bows and arrows, and no one showed their heads in the rain of arrows that fell.
The besieging rebels quickly reached the moat, which had already been filled, except for the overflowing river that flowed in all directions, soaking the surroundings in mud.
The rebels slid step by step, involuntarily slowing down, and the huge siege engine encountered a nightmare, the wheels stuck in the mire, unable to move forward for a long time.
At this moment, someone looked up at the city and exclaimed.
Many of the soldiers were disturbed by him, and they all looked up, and saw a sudden burst of arrows from the city wall, flying towards them in an arc in mid-air.
The number of arrows was not very large, but it dragged a long black smoke, and experienced veterans recognized at a glance that these were all rockets.
The rocket, of course, is used for ignition, but as far as the eye can see, there is no straw under its feet except the mire, what can it lead?etc.,
I had not noticed at all before, why is the river overflowing from the moat black
? Is there something strange about this?
The answer is soon revealed.
The northern border of Snowman City borders the desert, where there is no grass, and where it is deserted and inaccessible, there is a strange river.
The black water of the river came out of the ground, flowing slowly in all directions, and some people who got lost here accidentally discovered that the water in this black water river was not drinkable, but it could burn rapidly, and the fire was even stronger than coal.
After the news was transmitted back to Xueman City, the keen Fu Wang immediately sent a mage to inspect it, and set it up as a forbidden area, and no idlers were allowed to approach.
Therefore, no one knew that Snow Man City had collected dozens of barrels of black river water from wooden barrels and kept them for other uses, which the mage said was the black fire oil that burned in the legendary hell for many years.
The rockets fell all over the sky, quickly igniting the black fire oil everywhere, and in an instant, there were burning flames everywhere, and thick black smoke rolled into the air.
Pity the rebel soldiers who have stepped into the mire, as if they are caught in a boundless sea of fire, it is impossible to turn their heads and run, they can only let out a miserable wail, rolling in pain on the mud until they gradually lose their breath.
Some lucky soldiers in the back, frightened by this tragic situation, all seven souls and six spirits disappeared with the smoke, shouted, turned around and ran, only hated their father and mother for having two legs, where did they still care about the military order like a mountain, and fled for their lives first.
General Liu Han was also shocked by this sudden human purgatory.
He had never seen an object burning so quickly, could it be that Xueman City had secretly sent a super powerful mage to help?
Looking at the rest of the soldiers scattered and fled, he also knew clearly in his heart that this time he was only ambushed, not a crime of war.
So the order was sent down, and the soldiers were brought back to wait and see how the fire changed.
The soldiers of the snow-filled city on the city wall erupted in a huge cheer, and the general Cheng Tie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In this wave of attack and defense, there were almost no casualties on his side, except for a few soldiers who moved a little slowly and were shot by arrows, the city walls and personnel were simply intact!
But he also knew very well in his heart that once the black fire oil was burned out, the next battle would not be so easy.
The enemy has too many troops, and his own soldiers need not only to be brave, but also to have a strong belief to support, is there this rare
belief? His gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers who were still cheering, and finally he clenched his fist hard, they have this belief, they must have!
