The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 126: Burning Xuzhou City

Liu Bei's plan did not attract anyone's attention, nor did it cause any ripples.

At this moment, on the city wall, Tao Qian was still attacking the city with Ye Chen's army.

"Tell the soldiers, as long as they can defend Xuzhou City tonight, everyone will be rewarded handsomely after the battle!!"

Tao Qian shouted loudly on the city wall.

It must be said that money is tempting.

Hearing Tao Qian's promise, the morale of all the soldiers was boosted!
at this time.

It is located two hundred meters outside of Xuzhou city.

In the dark open space, with the dim light of torches, one could see catapults, all neatly placed.

“Sweet!”

Captain Lin, who was standing in front of the catapult, heard the drum beats and shouted loudly to the soldiers operating the catapult.

In an instant, the soldiers in charge of operating the catapult placed cans stuffed with cloth strips on the catapult.

This is what Ye Chen has been preparing for over the past few days.

Following his orders, Lao Wang led a group of soldiers to pour 92 gasoline into ceramic jars for easy throwing.

After the gasoline was thrown onto the walls of Xuzhou, burning thatch balls were thrown to burn the city.

Wait for the fire to start, and then throw the explosive pack.

Several rounds of intensive fire attacks came down.

Ye Chen just didn't believe it. Couldn't he capture Xuzhou City?

"emission!"

Captain Lin shouted again.

The soldiers, who had already been trained countless times, calibrated the distance and then fixed the pottery jars on the catapult.

Then he cut the rope without hesitation.

At a command, countless pottery jars flew towards the city wall of Xuzhou.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The huge noise of the catapult was particularly loud in the dark night.

For an instant.

The soldiers stationed on the city wall all looked over in the direction of the sound.

Then they saw pottery jars flying towards them in the void.

"??"

"what's the situation??"

"What is this??"

The soldiers all looked puzzled.

What’s going on? Are the Yellow Turban Army expecting to kill themselves with these pottery jars?

Such a small pottery jar.

Forget about blocking with a shield, just push him away with your hands and run away.

It has no lethality at all!

"boom!"

Just when Tao Qian and his soldiers were confused.

The next moment, a pottery jar fell to the ground above the city wall.

The pottery jar broke into pieces, and a pool of liquid that looked like water splashed everywhere, flowing all over the ground, emitting a pungent smell.

"What, what is this??"

Seeing the liquid on the ground, a soldier touched it in confusion, and then put it to his nose to smell it.

"My Lord, it looks like this pottery jar is filled with water!"

“It smells pretty good!”

A soldier reported to Tao Qian.

Ye Chen actually couldn’t quite understand it.

In his previous life, many people liked the smell of gasoline.

Don't know what the reason is.

As they were talking, more and more pottery jars were thrown onto the city wall.

In an instant, the walls of Xuzhou were covered with gasoline.

"Bring me a torch, I want to see what this is!"

Tao Qian gave an order, and immediately a personal soldier brought a torch and put it under the gasoline on the ground.

"Tick!"

The resin from the torches dripped onto the gasoline.

"boom!"

In an instant, the Xuzhou city wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.

the other side.

Ye Chen ordered Captain Lin to prepare straw balls, light them and throw them towards the city walls of Xuzhou.

Before he gave the order.

The Xuzhou city wall instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen was also confused. ? ?
what's the situation? ?

I haven't even lit it yet, how come it spontaneously combusted? ?

at this time.

On the walls of Xuzhou, bursts of tragic cries were heard.

"Fire, fire everywhere!"

"There's a fire, get some water and put it out!"

"Ahhh, my whole body is on fire, help me, I don't want to die!"

"Wow, wow, I miss my mom. I don't want to fight anymore. Mom, I want to go home!"

"..."

Now on the walls of Xuzhou, the soldiers defending the city can only see billowing flames.

All I heard were screams.

"The fire is coming out! Hurry up and put it out!"

"Ah, what the hell is this? Why is the flame burning me?"

"Save me, save me!"

"It can't be put out. This fire can't be put out at all!"

"Oh my god, this fire can't be put out even with water, it's getting bigger!"

"This is fire from heaven! This is fire from heaven! This is God's punishment for us!"

"Ahhh, save me, I don't want to die!"

"Run, run quickly!"

"..."

Under the attack of No. 92 gasoline, there was a panic scene everywhere on the Xuzhou city wall.

Tao Qian's hair and beard were all burned off, and his personal soldiers risked their lives to rescue him from the city wall of Xuzhou.

At this moment, he was standing under the city wall, and when he saw this scene on the wall, he was completely stunned.

"???"

"What exactly is this?"

"Why did the sky fire suddenly start?"

"Could it be that Ye Chen can really communicate with the heavens?"

“Why, why on earth!!”

The next moment, the sound of another round of catapults was heard outside the city.

As one ceramic jar after another shattered, the No. 92 gasoline in them began to burn violently, causing a series of small-scale explosions.

After only two rounds of attacks, the entire Xuzhou city wall was a sea of ​​fire!
"My lord, this is a divine object. Let's run. We can't defend Xuzhou City anymore!"

The captain of Tao Qian's personal guards had a look of despair on his face.

Look at the other side.

Compared to the despair of Tao Qian's side, Ye Chen's army was full of joy.

"Haha, my lord, this is a divine object. Xuzhou will be captured today!"

Under the dark night sky, Cheng Yu was amazed as he watched the sea of ​​fire burning on the walls of Xuzhou.

Guo Jia's face was filled with horror.

Both of them are rare counselors in the world.

They knew best how terrifying the power of fire attack was.

However, general fire attacks require the use of combustible materials such as hay and tung oil.

Only then can the effect of fire attack be achieved.

This No. 92 gasoline will burn when it comes into contact with fire and cannot be extinguished.

It was really hard for the two of them to understand.

The two could not explain this at all except for the divine gift from heaven.

"They are just some small tricks!"

Ye Chen smiled gently.

92 gasoline is quite powerful, and it is even more effective when used in night sieges.

The ancients were afraid of fire.

Such a sudden fire would definitely cause chaos in the city.

"My lord, with one last round of attacks, we can lead our army to attack the city!"

Watching countless No. 92 gasoline being thrown toward the Xuzhou city wall, Cheng Yu also estimated that the time was almost up.

At the same time, in the catapult army position on the other side.

"Everyone, put on your explosive packs and throw them at the wall of Xuzhou!"

Captain Lin shouted loudly.

As his order was issued, the soldiers tied a stone to the explosive bag and cut the ropes on the catapult without hesitation.

"call!"

"call!"

"call!"

The sound of breaking wind was heard, and explosive packs flew towards the wall of Xuzhou.
