Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

After waiting for a while, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun also fled back from the direction of Guandu.

Xiahoudun only set off for Guandu yesterday, and while he was still on the road, he met the retreating army and had to come back together.

The news quickly spread back to Xudu, Cao Cao was shocked and hurried out of the city.

Their plan to move the capital could only continue, but before the move started, the Huns' army had already approached the city and surrounded the entire Xudu.

Standing on the tower, Chen Yang saw the Xiongnu army, which should be called the Jin army at this time, set up five artillery pieces, and the muzzles of the cannons were facing the tower of Xudu.

The city walls of Xudu have also been reinforced with cement, which can withstand the bombardment of shells in a short period of time.

There are also a lot of artillery prepared in the city, the power is not far from Sima Yi's, and there is no advantage at all.

The enemy didn't attack right away, nor did Chen Yang order a counterattack, but immediately set up defenses.

"Zian, we are still one step too late, we lost Guandu."

Zhou Yu said with a frown.

"As long as I can keep Xu Du, there is still a chance, but it is very slim. I always feel that Xu will not be able to keep it."

Chen Yang looked at the enemy below, he was under a lot of pressure, and said: "The enemy has been attacking for a long distance, and will not attack at will in a short time. I have to go back and prepare the means of counterattack."

Time passed quickly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye, and drums sounded from the tower.

Chen Yang ran to the top of the city tower to look, and the enemy below really started to attack the city. The soldiers and horses immediately gathered under the city, but they did not attack with artillery first, but all the siege equipment such as ladders were ready.

The Huns are not good at siege warfare, but Sima Yi knows it and understands it very well.

Among Sima Yi's Jin army, there are also brothers Gongsun Kang and many people who defected to Sima Yi in the four northern states.

"Hurry up and bring up all the sesame oil."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Yang ordered the soldiers to quickly move the jars one by one.

"Zian, why are you doing this?"

Guo Jia asked puzzledly, and Cao Cao and others beside him looked at him with the same curiosity.

There is already a jar of sesame oil on the city tower, also called sesame oil, which is simply sesame oil.

When Zhang Qian was on an envoy to the Western Regions, he brought back sesame seeds. At this time, sesame seeds were called flax.

Chen Yang, is this cooking?

"Zian, what is the use of collecting the flax oil in the whole city?" Xun Yu asked.

"You will know soon, all move up, and the others quickly go to defend."

Chen Yang said while directing the soldiers and horses. Above the tower, there was a faint scent of sesame oil.

With the sound of shouting and killing from below, the enemy finally began to attack the city. First, the ladder was raised up, and then the equipment that hit the city gate was pushed over.

The enemy's attack was very ferocious, coupled with the large number of soldiers and horses, which rushed up continuously, the scene became a mess, and the sound of fighting kept ringing.

"Pour all this flax oil down!"

Chen Yang saw more and more enemies gathering, and this was the moment he was waiting for.

The soldiers didn't know what Chen Yang was going to do, and they dared not disobey the military orders.

What Chen Yang has done has never disappointed them, and this time it will definitely be the same.

Hundreds of soldiers picked up the jars of flax oil and threw them down on the ladders, siege equipment, and soldiers below, and a large scent of flax oil wafted away in an instant.

Throwing down the whole altar of sesame oil could knock over many people, and then the ladder was covered with oil, so slippery that it was impossible to apply force.

The enemy who was climbing the ladder suddenly felt his hands and feet slip, and fell straight down, falling heavily under the tower.

As more and more linseed oil fell, it became more difficult for the people below to climb the ladder.

"Zian, is this your plan? As long as the enemy changes the ladder, it will be useless!"

Cao Cao said puzzledly.

"Of course not my final plan."

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Go on, let's all fall down!"

In less than half an hour, all the sesame oil on the tower was used up, and every soldier below the tower was basically covered with a layer of oil, and the ground was also greasy.

Sure enough, the enemy replaced a new ladder and wanted to climb up again.

Chen Yang shouted: "Prepare the torch, throw it down!"

More than 100 soldiers lit the torches in their hands and swung them vigorously. The fire slid across an arc and fell directly to the bottom of the city.

boom!

Those linseed oils are flammable, they ignite immediately when they come into contact with the fire, and the fire spreads in the linseed oil in an instant, the fragrance in the air is even stronger, and there is even the smell of burning and roasting meat, as if it is a barbecue.

But in an instant, the flames covered the outside of the city tower and a large area of ​​the ground.

Chen Yang once remembered that in "Three Kingdoms", it was recorded that during the Battle of Hefei, Man Chong used flax oil to burn off Sun Quan's soldiers and horses at that time.

In the beginning, Chen Yang wanted to find kerosene to burn. Xu didn't have kerosene, and it was easy to be seen through, which made the enemy afraid to approach.

Flaxseed oil is essential for cooking, and there is definitely a lot of it in Xudu, so they collected all the flaxseed oil in the city.

It was evening now, and the flames visible to the naked eye quickly spread from under the city tower, illuminating a large area of ​​darkness below the city tower, and also illuminating the fear in the hearts of the enemies.

"Ah... run, run..."

There were also bursts of screams and wailing sounds, which continued to resound in the firelight.

The enemy whose body was stained with sesame oil was engulfed in flames in an instant. The fire was so fierce that it could not be extinguished in a short time.

Seeing this, Cao Cao and the others were stunned. Feeling the heat wave coming, they involuntarily took several steps back.

"I didn't expect that flax oil can be used in this way."

Sun Quan exclaimed, "Only you, Zi'an, can figure it out."

"It's just a small trick, and it can only repel them temporarily."

Chen Yang shook his head, this method was still thought of from Sun Quan.

Cao Cao said loudly: "This fire is burning well."

After all, he laughed a few more times, and his mood finally improved a lot.

As long as Chen Yang is by their side, even Xu Du can't hold on, and they still have a chance to make a comeback.

Jia Xu said: "I don't know how many enemies will be burned to death with this fire, but it's still very fragrant to burn with sesame oil."

Everyone couldn't help laughing. Although the method was a bit cruel, they had different positions. In order to keep Xudu, no matter how cruel it was, they had to do it.

After burning for almost half an hour, the flax oil was burned out.

Below the city tower, there are piles of charred wreckage, the city wall and the entire ground are charred black.

After the flax oil was burned, what was left was a faint stench, which was very unpleasant.

This fire burned more than 1 enemies, and the remaining enemies did not dare to attack the city at will, and rushed to retreat.

The first siege battle was carried over, but I don't know how to carry it later.

"We have run out of flax oil. What if the enemy comes to attack tomorrow?"

On the tower, Xia Houyuan asked worriedly.
