Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 307
The first time the fierce fire oil was used, it achieved such great results, it really shocked the people on the entire city wall.

The two elders Liu and Guan just paid it back, because they had long known the power of fierce fire oil.

The other officers and soldiers guarding the city, the civilians, and even Yuyanda Shan were all horrified and inexplicable.

This fierce fire oil is really an incredible weapon!
At the same time, everyone was frightened and yet more confident.

Although this fierce fire oil is a sharp weapon, it is in our own hands. What does this mean? It means that the chance of repelling the enemy will be greatly increased...

On the roof of the city tower, the old beggar touched the huge wine gourd as if touching a woman, very gently and carefully.

However, the old beggar's action must have been subconscious, because he was staring in the direction of the city gate with his narrow eyes.

He murmured: "Using Fierce Fire Oil to resist the enemy is a clever trick, but it is not a long-term solution. With this method, no amount of Fierce Fire Oil is enough..."

The old beggar's eyes turned and landed on Zhu Xiuyuan, and then murmured to himself: "Although Mr. Zhu is scared, he is full of confidence. I don't know... what other options do you have?"

city ​​wall.

Zhu Xiuyuan and others were overjoyed and were about to inspire the soldiers defending the city to launch a counterattack.

Because morale has just been increased, counterattacking at this time will have unexpected effects.

However, before Zhu Xiuyuan could speak, he heard bursts of rapid gong sounds coming from the Yan Army camp.

Dang-dang-dang, very loud and rapid.

Everyone on the city wall was stunned, and Yan Dashan, who had experienced battles in the end, laughed and said: "Grandpa, the Yan army has called for gold to withdraw! We have resisted the Yan army's attack!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a daze and almost didn't react.

Yan has many soldiers and is not afraid of attrition. Why did he withdraw his troops so quickly?

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a daze. The Yan army under the city wall immediately abandoned their siege ladders and other objects. They only held broadswords, spears, and banners, and desperately retreated back.

Dispersed like a tide.

Although the Yan army retreated, their formation was not chaotic.

"Archer ready, shoot!"

Zhu Xiuyuan had already reacted and ordered the archers to "send the Yan army off".

……

The back hall of Jiangzhou Yamen.

Youshi, around six o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone gathered together to summarize the battle.

"The Yan army retreated undefeated, in an orderly manner, and the entire battle only lasted an hour. What does this mean? It means that the siege just now was just the first wave of testing attacks."

"I'm afraid that the second wave of attacks will come soon, and it will only be more violent. We should prepare early!"

Zhu Xiuyuan spoke and looked around at everyone, but this result was discussed between him and Yan Dashan.

"My virtuous son-in-law is right!"

Dong Cheng looked heavy and nodded slowly.

He added: "The enemy is coming to attack the city, and we can't control it. We can only defend... My dear son-in-law, and all my lords, thank you for your hard work!"

"Your Majesty, you are serious..."

"I'm waiting for you, why don't you have the hard work of the governor and Sima..." Dong Cheng pressed down with both hands. When everyone's discussion gradually stopped, he looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "Xian son-in-law, the next battle will be even more tragic. You need to fight more." Just be careful.”

Zhu Xiuyuan was full of confidence. He held his hands together and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, and all of you gentlemen, don't worry. I personally visited the battle formation, observed it carefully, and already have two clever strategies in mind."

"One can severely damage the morale of the Yan army, and the other can reduce our casualties. With a two-pronged approach, we will be able to secure Jiangzhou City!"

"Oh."

Dong Cheng's expression changed and he showed a hint of joy.

He hurriedly asked: "I wonder what two clever strategies my wise husband has come up with. You might as well tell them so that we can feel at ease."

Li Linzhou, Liu Wencai, and other officials from the Six Cao Cao were astonished and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan to see what he would say.

"The first tip is to use fierce fire oil. Judging from the battle just now, fierce fire oil must have miraculous effects when used on the battlefield. The subordinate has already sent someone to find a jar as big as a wine jar and fill it with fierce fire oil."

"When the battle situation becomes tense, hundreds or thousands of fire oil tanks will be smashed down, and then ignited with rockets. In this way, there will be a fire dragon tens of feet long, straddling the foot of the city."

"This is enough to slow down the Yan army's offensive and frighten the Yan army's morale. My subordinate named this jar 'Fierce Oil Urn'!"

"Okay, what a fierce fire!"

"We have such a sharp weapon, so why worry that the entire Jiangzhou City is not impregnable..."

"Master Sima is a great talent, and the lower officials admire him greatly..."

While everyone was happy and admiring, there was also a calm person like Dong Cheng.

He thought for a moment and immediately discovered a problem: "But my dear son-in-law, wouldn't the fierce fire oil consume a lot? If the fierce fire oil runs out..."

Dong Cheng's words were like pouring cold water on everyone's heads.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and said: "My father-in-law, and all of you gentlemen, I have already considered this, and I have prepared enough fire oil."

"Furthermore, Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, is arrogant and conceited. He only attacked the north of Jiangzhou from the front and never sent anyone to guard the south gate of Jiangzhou... So far, the civilians who transport the fierce oil are still running around and will transport more. Fierce fire oil enters the city!"

After hearing this, Dong Cheng and everyone felt relieved.

"What about your second tip for a wise son-in-law?" Dong Cheng asked again.

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law observed on that battlefield that from the time the enemy troops approached to the time the enemy troops attacked the city wall, the enemy's bows and arrows caused the most damage to our soldiers defending the city."

"We have only more than 700 soldiers guarding the city. After just one battle, they were exhausted and only [-] people are left. The Yan army has a total of [-] people. We cannot accompany them to consume. Therefore, reduce the damage caused by bows and arrows. Harm is inevitable!”

"The official is thinking, what can block the damage of bows and arrows? Of course it is a shield, but on that city wall, the shield cannot be used!"

"But that's wrong. I only need to slightly modify the shield. Combine the three shields into one, fix them with ropes, make two handles, and use the parapet as the fulcrum... I call this thing the 'merged shield'."

"When our side throws thunder stones, rolling logs, and urns of fire and oil, we will send two other strong civilians to stand behind the defenders on both sides, each holding a handle of the combined shield."

"Hold the combined shield in front of the city defenders, using the parapet as a fulcrum to block the enemy's bows and arrows... When we need to use bows and arrows to shoot, just remove the combined shield."

"Well, I think this method is feasible. Although no one has used it, it doesn't mean it is useless!" Dong Cheng nodded, twisting his beard.

The rest of the people also agreed.

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly looked around and found Liu Wencai.

He smiled and said: "Brother Liu, the fierce fire oil vat and the merged shield are of great significance to us, so I want to entrust this extremely important task to you, Brother Liu."
