Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Before the jar was opened, a strong aroma of wine wafted out of the jar, and many soldiers present swallowed subconsciously.

……

In this day and age, spirits are a truly rare thing... Not to mention that alcohol is not allowed in the army, even if Zhang Yan allows them to drink, these soldiers have rarely seen such a high level of spirits, and they have not yet opened their hands. You can clearly smell the aroma of the wine inside.

Therefore, some soldiers subconsciously put their eyes on the opening of the jar, as if they were a little moved, but couldn't help shivering, with a trace of obvious fear in their eyes.

……

"Ahem, don't look at it, you don't want to have a bite of this thing, do you?"

"If you want to die, just tell me, everyone who doesn't hurt you will be buried with you!"

"You and I know exactly what's inside this thing! If you are accidentally ignited by the opponent's arrow, then hundreds of us brothers will all be caught in one pot!"

……

The shield-bearing soldiers standing at the front of the building scolded a few words softly, which made the faces of the guys in the back row become a little more serious, and they no longer thought about it as they did just now.

With the help of several recruits, those dark clay pots were opened, and long fire ropes were pulled out from the half-sealed lids.

After the fire rope was ignited by the fire fold, these clay pots were handed over to the strongest people in the building car.

……

"Hey!"

"Go away!"

……

Throw the clay pot in your hand towards the city wall in front of you in a standard throwing posture. Since these soldiers are all standing on the building cart at this moment, there is actually not much difference in height between the two sides.In addition, these guys who were in charge of throwing were the most powerful people in the army. Amidst bursts of exclamations, those clay pots fell on the heads of the city wall defenders.

After a crisp sound, the clay pot fell to the corner of the city wall and was smashed to pieces.

At the same time, a large amount of spirits in the clay pots were scattered and scattered along with the broken pots.

In the sound of the explosion that followed, it turned into a raging flame, igniting the entire city wall.

……

"boom--"

It was a muffled sound that was completely different from the bombardment of artillery fire. If the artillery from a hundred meters away gave people the ultimate shocking sound, then the "Shocking Thunder" is the local grenade imitated by Zhang Yan using black powder. , What it brings to people is the double blow of vision and hearing.

Even though guards with shields had already been arranged in the front row, the shattered pottery shards thrown off by the gunpowder explosion still spanned a distance of several meters in an instant, and hit the shields in everyone's hands like crossbow arrows, sending out bursts of explosions. "Duo duo" muffled sound.

What makes those mountains even more frightening is that these dark things will not only explode, but also ignite the spirits and "weed water" that were originally filled with gunpowder after the scattered pottery fragments harvested the lives of the surrounding people once. , that is, the kind of pitch-black kerosene.

After Ban Gu brought the usage of this kind of kerosene back to the Han Dynasty, this thing became the best weapon for the Han prefects to defend the city.

Now, after being modified by Ma Jun and others, this thing appeared in the echelon of siege weapons for the first time.

……

"It's... on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire—"

……

Accompanied by the raging flames that suddenly rose, a large group of defenders who were still on the city wall were unable to dodge, and were splashed by the kerosene, turning into a moving torch. Brought flames to various places throughout the city walls.

The offensive on the Lujiang side will not stop because of the cries of the defenders in the city.

After the first batch of dozens of improved "incendiary bombs" were thrown, another batch of ignited clay pots flew across the top of the city wall. Poisonous smoke, explosions, raging fire, etc. appeared only in eighteen layers of hell. The scene of the scene spread all over the city wall in the south of Jing County.

Under the torment of various harsh environments, the Lujiang side did not even send soldiers to attack the city, but just "throwing garbage" from afar, which brought the entire siege battle into a strange development that the Eastern Han people were not familiar with.

The flames howled in the wind.

Even at the downwind place, Yang Feng and others looked at the countless charred corpses on the city wall and the grease that had been reduced to flame fuel, as if they could feel the unspeakable stench.

What made the defenders feel even more desperate was that such a flame...seemed to be impossible to extinguish with water?

In the past period of time, many Yue soldiers who were unfortunate enough to be ignited rushed down the city wall crying for help, but no matter how the friendly soldiers tried to extinguish the fire on their bodies with water, the flames seemed to have some magical power. After dissipating, it rekindled again.

When the extremely flammable liquid mixed with spirits and fire oil comes into contact with water, these things will even float on the surface of the water, and spread to more places that were not ignited by the water flow!

This time, not only the unlucky ghosts on the city wall at the beginning, but even the soldiers who rushed to fight the fire on the city wall and the stairs they walked were covered by flames spreading down the steps, and even the whole city wall seemed to be on fire. It's like getting up.

Such a scene lasted for a quarter of an hour.

When the kerosene was gradually exhausted and the fire on the city wall gradually weakened, Yang Feng immediately dispatched the artillery unit that had been waiting for a long time, and rushed to the front line with a large number of artillery.

This time, he didn't even need to saturate all the artillery, just three or five copper cannons approached and aimed at the closed city gate not far away from a distance of tens of meters...

As long as he gives an order, within such an extremely close range, there is almost no possibility of any resistance from this gate.

As long as there is an order, what will appear in front of the Han army in Lujiang will definitely be an extremely prosperous and smooth road!

PS: Let’s talk about the application of water and fire in classical battles.

Obviously, in romance novels, fire attacks and water attacks are much more likely to occur than heart attacks. Whether it was Zhuge Liang who set fire to Xinye, or Guan Yu who flooded the Seventh Army, it was actually caused by the "people" against the "army". Some sort of unrealistic fantasy.

Maybe there are such ancient conspiracies like burning Chibi, but in the normal process of marching, whether it is an encounter or a siege, the prevention of water and fire is almost the first priority. As long as the commander is not stupid, It is difficult to have a scene that is particularly suitable for using a fire meter or a water meter.

For example, in midsummer, when hundreds of thousands of troops escaped the summer heat in deep mountains and old forests, and their company camp was burned seven hundred miles away, it was a stupid thing that only the commander of the army could do when he was out of breath.

But if Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Fazheng had followed Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not have been able to bury the last bit of Shu Han's family fortune in Yiling...

Compared with the seemingly mysterious and ineffective tactics like water and fire, in the process of real marching, the commonly used tactics are instead the one-way and ten-thousand-way tactics of attacking the mind and alienation.

Find a way to find out the true situation of the enemy army, and then find out its internal contradictions, pull a group, and fight a group. This is the way to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

For example, Pang Tong's serial trick and Wang Yun's trick to force Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo because of his weakness in character are really common and effective.

(This piece of nonsense is free of charge)

Chapter 86 Choices

"preparation!"

"fire--"

……

Taking advantage of the unguarded time on the city wall, Yang Feng immediately ordered to pull several artillery pieces to a distance of only tens of meters in front of the city gate.

At this distance, not to mention hitting a giant city gate that is several meters tall and immovable, just aim at some moving targets, and the gunner proficiency of the current Lujiang Second Army Ma Si can easily hit them.

After simple aiming, several artillery pieces aimed at the corner of the city gate in the distance at the same time. Following the order of the artillery battalion officer, the sound like thunder resounded on the battlefield of Jing County again.

And when the violent gunpowder smoke dissipated, where has the city gate that was approached and shot seen such a battle?

Not to mention the wooden bolts at the back of the city gate, under the impact of huge kinetic energy, the entire city gate was reduced to a mass of debris, which swept in towards the back of the city gate corridor, and even the basic shape was somewhat unclear up.

Seeing that the gate of the city in front of him had been opened wide, the soldiers who had been waiting at the side suddenly roared excitedly, and they didn't need Yang Feng to give orders, but led by their respective team leaders with a hundred people as a unit, heading towards the city. A group charge was launched in the direction of the city.

……

"Come on—"

"Brothers, come with me!"

……

"Kill Shanyue and seize Danyang!"

"Rescue His Royal Highness, prosperity and wealth are in front of you!"

……

All of a sudden, all kinds of chaotic slogans rang out, and the soldiers charged in the direction of the city one by one as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

At this time, the defenders of Jing County had just retreated from the city wall from the devastation of "incendiary bombs", "gas bombs" and "armor-piercing grenades", and they hadn't recovered from their nerves. How could they have the ability to organize a decent resistance?

Seeing more and more Han troops rushing in from the city gate, and even planning to counter-occupy the city wall... the Shanyue soldiers guarding the south gate also felt a little bit of retreat.

……

How about... shall we withdraw?

After all, how much money he took and how many things he did... This Shuai Zulang just supported them with the minimum standard, not to say how much favor he gave them...

Who would give his life to him at a time like this?

Two symbolic resistances are all it takes...

……

Because at this moment in Jing County, many soldiers were deserters who had suffered a defeat on the battlefield before, and returned to the sequence under Zu Lang's gathering, so for them who had already escaped once, Being a deserter again when the war is tight... It doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to accept.

Even sometimes, it becomes a habit to run away.

When seeing a large number of Han troops wearing armor and holding long knives coming towards him, many Yueren's legs subconsciously began to move backwards...

By the time they reacted, they had already retreated from the frontal battlefield to an unknown place.

As the saying goes, if an army is defeated like a mountain, so is a siege battle.

When the first formed army entered Jing County, the defenders on the Shanyue side also began to "form" to escape.

Some of them took off their headdresses and fled from the city gate, while others gritted their teeth and ran towards the center of the city.

The city is now in chaos, so these Han troops... sooner or later they will enter the city.

Rather than being harmed by the other party, it's better to be a Yue, and take advantage of the chaos to loot some ordinary people in the city...

When the Han army came, I threw away the long knife and pretended to be a good citizen to accept the education of the Han army...

At that time, my life was saved, and my family property was snatched from others by taking advantage of the chaos... As long as I live with peace of mind, it may be much better than in the army before...

If such a good thing happened to him, any fool would know how to choose, right?

……

You know, chaos often happens after a big war.

When Yang Feng and others trotted all the way into the city, what they saw was exactly such a scene of howling ghosts and howling wolves.

The residential area not far away has fallen into mourning, a large number of houses have been ignited, and there are even many cries of women and children, even if Yang Feng is standing near the city gate, he can hear clearly.

And just when he thought it was the members of the second army Masi under him who disobeyed the military regulations and looted wantonly, a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, and patted him on the shoulder just like that.
