I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1074 Lintong Attack and Defense

"What a great old General Fish!"

Instead of being surprised, Xu Shiji clapped his hands and laughed.

"Zi Ling, it's time to let the Molin Guards of your Young Marshal's Army show their faces."

Before he finished speaking, more than 360 black-armored knights suddenly rushed out from the young marshal's army.

The horses they rode were all covered in heavy armor, and their foreheads were inlaid with bronze prisms, which were unique to the Mohist mechanical beasts. When the crossbow arrows from the revolving machine came, the prisms suddenly refracted a dazzling light, and actually illuminated the entire trajectory of the arrows.

The black-armored knights took the opportunity to swing their chain-wrapped sickle spears to sweep away all the arrows in the air.

Yu Juluo's pupils suddenly shrank. He recognized that this was the long-lost battlefield secret technique among military strategists, the "Light and Shadow Escape Technique".

Just as they were about to change their formation, they saw the centipede cart below the city suddenly accelerate, and its bronze ramming horn fiercely pierced into the city wall. At the same time, green mist was spewed out of the poisonous smoke pipe, and the soldiers defending the city immediately coughed up blood and fell to the ground after inhaling it.

"Shu Zi'an dare!"

Yu Juro snatched the bow from his personal soldier and shot three arrows in succession at the centipede chariot. The moment the arrows penetrated the rhinoceros skin, the gunpowder bags hidden in the chariot exploded, lifting the entire chariot into the air.

Xu Shiji saw it clearly from a distance. As he tapped his feather fan, the shamans from the eighteen villages in southern Xinjiang beat animal-skin drums at the same time.

The sound of drums rolled across the battlefield like thunder, and the anti-king coalition forces that were attacking the city suddenly retreated like a tide, revealing fifty huge planes covered with black cloth in the rear.

"This is……"

"Gong Shu's Phoenix Hunting Crossbow? How could they have such a weapon?"

Yu Juluo suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart, and his face changed drastically when he saw the bronze dragon head exposed under the black cloth.

Before he finished speaking, fifty Phoenix Hunting Crossbows were fired at the same time. Each crossbow arrow was more than ten feet long, with a barbed hook at the tip of the arrow and a hemp rope soaked in kerosene at the tail.

The moment the arrow pierced the city wall, the hemp rope suddenly ignited with a faint blue flame, burning along the arrow body toward the top of the city wall.

"Break the arrow quickly!"

Yu Juluo threw a huge rock from the side to break three rockets, but he saw more crossbow arrows nailed on the parapet. The blue fire swelled with the wind, and in a short moment it formed a fire net on the top of the city, and the mechanisms of the city defense equipment were burned with crackling sounds.

Xu Shiji stood on the arrow tower, looking at the defenders on the city wall who were in chaos, gently waving his feather fan.

"General Yu, have you ever heard of 'Fire Dragon Burning the City'?"

He waved his wide sleeves, and twenty catapults suddenly appeared from the rear, each loaded with kerosene bombs the size of pottery jars.

"put!"

As the command flag was waved, kerosene bombs fell towards the top of the city like meteors. When the blue fire met the kerosene, a fire wave several feet high suddenly rose up.

Yu Juluo was knocked to the ground by his personal soldiers, and his ears were filled with the sound of explosions of city defense equipment. When he struggled to get up, half of the city wall was already engulfed in flames.

"Old General, it's our turn."

Suddenly, clear laughter was heard from below the city. Xu Ziling actually rode his horse to the front of the moat. Behind him, three thousand elite soldiers of the Young Marshal's Army took off their crossbows in unison. The arrows were tied with ice crystals soaked in cold pond water.

"shoot!"

Ice crystal arrows poured down like a rainstorm, suppressing the fire on the top of the city.

Yu Juluo took the opportunity to organize a fire-fighting operation, but saw that the anti-king coalition forces had launched ten more ladders. These ladders had wheels at the bottom and the top could be freely extended and retracted. They were exactly the "centipede ladders" improved by the Mohist craftsmen.

"Don't try to succeed!"

Yu Juluo personally beat the war drum, and eight giant catapults suddenly appeared in the city. Each catapult was pulled by dozens of strong oxen, and the stone bullets were wrapped with poisoned caltrops.

"Kuafu, it's up to you."

Xu Shiji looked at the black stone bullets in the air and tapped the sand table lightly with his feather fan. Suddenly, the sound of elephants was heard in the Nanman formation, and thirty heavily armored war elephants rushed out of the formation.

They carried special iron shields on their backs, and between their tusks were tied Burmese knives that could cut iron like mud. When the stone bullets fell, the war elephants used their iron shields to form a mobile fortress, which bounced off all the stone bullets. "It's interesting to see the mechanical skills of the Mohists versus the beast taming skills of the southern border."

"Mr. Dou, it's your turn to make achievements."

Xu Shiji chuckled and shook his head, and his feather fan suddenly pointed at the city gate.

"Haha, military advisor, just look at me!"

Dou Jiande could no longer hold back, and led a team of his personal soldiers to personally pound the siege hammer. This siege hammer, made of thousand-year-old iron wood, was ten feet long, with a bronze cone soaked in beast oil at the front end.

And just as it was about to crash into the city gate, Yu Juluo suddenly activated the mechanism of the secret passage of the city gate.

"Crack!"

The moment the battering ram hit the city gate, it suddenly caved in, revealing the hidden iron spike array underneath.

Dou Jiande, who was in the front, was caught off guard and nearly fell on the iron spikes with his hammer. At the critical moment, Xu Ziling came like a ghost, and tapped the iron spikes seven times with the long sword in his hand, temporarily sealing the mechanism.

"What a great swordplay!"

Xu Shiji clapped his hands and laughed, and waved his feather fan lightly. Suddenly, a roar like muffled thunder came from behind.

Hundreds of warships appeared on the surface of Qujiang River, each with a ram installed on the bow, and a group of domesticated crocodiles from southern Xinjiang were hidden in the cabins.

Yu Juluo's face changed drastically, he recognized this as the Southern Barbarians' secret water warfare method "Crocodile God Charge". Just as he was about to dispatch troops to defend the water gate, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the top of the city - the fire that was suppressed by the ice crystal arrows had reignited in the smoke exhaust duct designed by Gongshu Jia, and was now burning towards the granary through a special pipe!

"Xu Shiji! What a vicious young man!"

Yu Juluo swung his spear to cut off three burning beams, then turned and yelled at the deputy general.

"Activate those Mohist arrow towers that the Duke left for Lintong City!"

Suddenly, a deafening sound of mechanisms was heard in the city, and eight bronze arrow towers rose from the ground. Each of these arrow towers was a little taller than the city wall, and there were twelve crossbows installed on each floor, with hidden slingshots in the belly.

When they began to move, the entire Lintong city shook.

Xu Shiji looked at the slowly rotating Xuanwu Formation in the city, gently waving his feather fan.

"Sure enough, there are some tricks left for Gong Shujia, but what a pity..."

He suddenly pointed his fingers like swords at the surface of the river, and the Jiaoren warriors blew their horns at the same time.

The river water suddenly surged, and hundreds of giant crocodiles broke out of the water. On the back of each crocodile stood a warrior holding a poison fork. They followed the water flow and rushed straight towards the water gate. The crocodiles' sharp teeth actually bit into the gears of the water gate's mechanism, making a harsh metal friction sound.

"Release the logs and rocks!"

The old general roared and tore off his breastplate, then picked up a crossbow himself. He saw huge rocks from the top of the city falling like raindrops, but when they were three feet above the ground, they were deflected by some invisible force and smashed into the moat with a loud bang, causing splashes of water several feet long.

Xu Shiji saw it clearly from the watchtower, pointing his feather fan at the circling goshawks in the sky. The bamboo tubes in the claws of those birds of prey poured out at the same time. The blue-purple poison powder mixed with the morning mist dyed the entire battlefield a strange blue-purple color.

"Change!"

Xu Shiji suddenly clapped his fans together, and the anti-Wang coalition forces that were frantically attacking the city retreated like a tide, and were replaced by the Qujiang volunteer army under Dou Jiande.

These soldiers, who were former pirates, carried specially made long ladders with kerosene-soaked linen tied to the tops. From a distance, they looked like countless winding fire snakes.

Yu Juluo was about to order people to pour kerosene, but he saw the fire snakes suddenly turn around and head towards the defenders on the city wall.

“It’s a reflection!”

A general exclaimed, it turned out that each long ladder was embedded with a very bright bronze mirror. At this moment, the sun was rising in the east, and the mirrors reflected all the sunlight onto the top of the city. The defenders were dazzled by the strong light and could not open their eyes, and their formation was immediately in chaos.

Xu Shiji below took the opportunity to wave his feather fan wildly, and the animal tamers from the Eighteen Villages of Southern Xinjiang blew the bone flutes. Countless poisonous snakes rushed out of the drainage ditches, and their tongues spewed out highly corrosive venom.
