Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 304
As for Liu Wencai, although he was the son of a general, he had never actually been on the battlefield.

At this time, he and Zhu Xiuyuan were hiding behind the battlements. Zhu Xiuyuan was close to the battlements, and Liu Wencai was close to Zhu Xiuyuan.

His hands and feet were trembling slightly, and he grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's arm. Every time there was a scream, he shrank all over, and he was actually more scared than Zhu Xiuyuan.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan quickly adjusted his mentality. He kept thinking silently in his heart, this is war, this is war, there is no immortal...

Although Zhu Xiuyuan was frightened and frightened, in Yan Dashan's opinion, it was a good thing that his benefactor was not frightened to the point of weak legs. After all, everyone has a first time.

The shouts of killing were loud and the war drums were thundering, mixed with miserable screams.

This is truly an unforgettable "battlefield symphony".

The enemy and I shoot at each other with bows and arrows. You come and I go, each suffering damage.

Although Chen Guozhi's soldiers were weak, they defended the city and were in a commanding position, so they had every advantage.

But the Yan army was even more brave. They braved the arrows covered on the city wall and went straight to the foot of the city wall regardless of life and death.

Zhu Xiuyuan overcame the obstacles in his heart, plucked up the courage, secretly poked his head and took a look outside.

I saw the Yan army archers in front, followed by the soldiers attacking the city.

Either carrying a long siege ladder or pushing a heavy siege ram, they advance with the advancement of the archers in front.

Further back, there were still clouds of Yan troops waiting in line, a dense mass of black clouds, as if they were boundless... They were the shocked cavalry and infantry of the Yan army.

The Yan army has a total of more than [-] people, and only a few of them are attacking the city at this time.

Thinking about our own side, there are only more than [-] people who can fight a battle...

Zhu Xiuyuan wanted to cry when he thought of this.

It's too miserable. Three thousand versus fifty thousand. Although they are defending the city, it will be very difficult for them to survive over time!
"The Yan army has reached the foot of the city wall!"

"The Yan army has begun to set up siege ladders!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Wencai hid behind a battlement, only listening to Yan Dashan talking non-stop.

Yan Dashan has good skills and is not afraid of bows and arrows, so he is Zhu Xiuyuan's "eyes".

The battle to defend the city has progressed to this point, and Zhu Xiuyuan has already stabilized his mind.

After hearing that the Yan army was setting up a siege ladder, he calmly ordered, using thunder stones, rolling wood, gray bottles, gold juice, etc., to greet the Yan army's heads under the city.

Thunder stones as big as millstones were thrown down.

The soldiers guarding the city of Chen State, from a high position, lifted up the big stone and smashed it down. It didn't require much force, and the "earth's gravity" would automatically accelerate it.

When the big stone approached the foot of the city wall, it was as strong as a meteorite. The head of the bag was smashed down, and the Yan army who was hit suddenly turned into a pile of meat and died instantly.

In addition to the thunder stones, the trebuchets deployed in the city also began to activate.

Throwing stone "cannonballs", they flew over the city wall and hit the Yan army...

A rolling log is a large log with spikes on the surface, like a hedgehog.

The rolling log rolled down the city wall with great force, plowing out a clearing below.

Coupled with the spikes on the rolling log, it is really fatal if you touch it, and you will be destroyed if you touch it.

Ash bottles are bottles filled with quicklime.

Throwing it from the city wall, it shattered when it hit the ground, and quicklime sprayed in all directions, which could block Yan Jun's sight and hurt Yan Jun's eyes...

As for the golden juice, there are various kinds. Anything that is hot and scalded can be boiled into juice and used as golden juice.

Like molten metal, like boiling water, like boiling oil, or... urine!

However, metals, grease, etc. are too expensive, so ordinary gold juice is just hot urine...

That sour...

Those who are unfortunate enough to be poured with golden juice will not die immediately, but they will wail in pain, roll on the ground, and lose their fighting ability instantly.As for the fire oil, black powder, etc., Zhu Xiuyuan was still hiding them. Now was not the time to take them out.

Thanks to the generals of the Poyang Palace, they are truly the best among the best, and also benefit from the strategic location of the city guarding the city, which is condescending.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, they finally withstood one wave of attacks from the Yan army.

There were hundreds of ladders used by the Yan army to attack the city, but not a single Yan army was able to attack the city wall.

All of them were killed and injured by thunder stones, rolling logs, gray bottles, gold juice, etc., and even the ladders were smashed by it.

However, the losses suffered by our side were also very heavy.

The man with the bow and arrow was hit by an arrow fired from the city before he could release the arrow, and died on the spot.

There was also a man who held the thunder stone high and was about to throw it down when he was hit by arrows from the city. Instead of throwing the big stone, he was crushed into a pulp.

In the same way, those who roll logs, throw ash bottles, and pour gold juice may all be hit by arrows shot from the city and die.

This is simply a war of attrition!

Not only materials such as bows and arrows, thunder stones and rolling wood are consumed, but also human lives are consumed.

This was the first battle, and both sides had already suffered thousands of casualties.

Human lives are really worthless!

"We can't go on like this!" On the tower, Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes turned red.

"There are many soldiers in Yan, and we can no longer accompany them to consume them. Pass on my orders and pour on the fire oil! I want them to taste the feeling of being on fire and being indestructible!"

Fire oil is flammable and explosive and very dangerous.

Therefore, its storage has certain requirements, and its direct characteristic is that it is inconvenient to access.

While taking the fierce fire oil, Yan Jun suddenly changed his tactics.

Instead of using siege ladders, they attempted to directly attack the city wall.

Instead, they used a battering ram to focus on the north gate of Jiangzhou.

The so-called battering ram is actually a cart with a large log on it and the front end is sharpened. The soldiers push the cart and use its momentum to crash into the city gate.

Naturally, this battering ram vehicle was covered with iron armor to protect the soldiers pushing it.

Bows, arrows, thunder stones, rolling logs, etc. are all difficult to damage.

It rampaged across the battlefield, very ferocious and terrifying.

But when Zhu Xiuyuan saw the battering ram, he immediately smiled: "Haha, ordinary bows, arrows, thunder and stones can't hurt you, so let me ask you to taste the fierce fire oil. Haha, you came at the right time. I can use you to grow a little bit." Morale!”

Zhu Xiuyuan looked like he was crazy, his eyes were red and his facial features were distorted. He was staring at the Yan army under the city wall and the rampaging battering ram.

With so many people dead, Zhu Xiuyuan was already full of anger in his heart.

It also aroused the hidden anger in his heart. He wanted revenge, fierce revenge!

"Brother Zhu, are you okay?" Liu Wencai shrank his neck and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan, his eyes widened.

Liu Wencai was also on the battlefield for the first time and was already frightened, but he still held on.

"My dear friend, calm down!" Yan Dashan was a man who had been on the battlefield after all. He was very calm and not at all confused.

The two elders Liu and Guan still looked around with their eyebrows furrowed and their faces cold, concentrating on guarding against cold arrows.

"It's okay, I'm okay!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, and when he regained his composure, he added: "Pour the fierce oil on the siege ram, then light it with rockets, and burn the siege ram to slag!"
