Chapter 621 Fire!
The screams were accompanied by crackling explosions!
The ball hit the man's body, and the flames on the ball instantly scattered everywhere, accompanied by drops of boiling oil, part of which fell on the horses under the man's body. The fierce man screamed even more howled heart-wrenchingly, falling from the horse, holding his head in his hands, rolling on the ground, and the flames rose rapidly.
On the other side, the bursting balls were filled with flames, and some of them splashed around and fell to the ground, and some of them fell directly to the three or four horses on the side and the riders on them.
Suddenly, the flames were on these people and immediately burned.
The horse is also considered a war horse. It has been specially trained and can avoid swords and guns and not afraid of charge. However, suddenly it caught fire, but it was something that I had not encountered in the past. I suddenly became panicked, and my back hooves kicked, and my two front hooves rose into the air!
"Extinguish! Extinguish the fire!"
Seeing this scene, the riders around had to stop charging, and a small charge stopped for a while. Then these people shouted. According to their experience, it was not too dangerous for such a small flame to fall on them.
Most of the people who were on fire were nomads who had good riding skills and had confidence in their riding skills. So even though the horse under the crotch was crazy, they remained calm, pulling the reins to comfort the frightened horse, while reaching out to slap the flames on their bodies at a very fast speed.
This reaction speed also reflects their extraordinary ability to react in the face of battle and a tough heart.
But the result surprised them very much. When the hand slapped it, not only did not extinguish the flame, but instead made the flame stain on the hands!
I still have clothes on my body and can cover it, but my hands are covered with flesh and blood. When I burned, my skin immediately became cracked, and my flesh and blood hurt, and they screamed immediately!
Not only did they scream again, the vicious man who first landed on the ground was also screaming, because at this time the man almost burned all over his body and could not stop him.
Not only was the flames on his body unable to stop it, but even his mount was half on fire, and he was already in a state of madness, jumping on the spot, and he couldn't care about anything!
The horse was so chaotic that it was neighed and rushed forward, causing chaos in the surrounding soldiers and horses, which was even more terrifying. As soon as the horse came over and collided with other people and horses, it was about to burn to other horses. As soon as the horse burned, it hit the person again. It slapped his hands and slapped them with his hands, but instead it wanted to burn his hands, and screamed even more.
In the end, they had to turn over and fall off and roll on the ground with no choice but to use the pain, and to use this method to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
It has to be said that this method of extinguishing fire does have some effects, but with the people who were sputtered before, just this ball, nearly twenty or thirty riders stopped, fell off and rolled. This seemed to be a small number, but when charging, the front row would affect the charge troops in the rear row.
In this charge queue, a place suddenly stagnated. From a distance, it looked like a rolling river. Suddenly, a rock that floated out of the water was added, which separated the water flow.
Such changes did not seem to be true in the charge queue and Duan Wenyang behind him. He just felt that it was a city-defying tool such as a catapult showing his power, so he threw away a series of rewards, waiting to suppress the fear in everyone's hearts and continue to attack the city!
However, if you can stand on the city wall and look down from a high place, you can immediately see the changes in the queue, just like ten people rushing over side by side, and as a ball passes, one of them falls behind!
Jiang Yang stood at the top of the city, grasping the scale hard, and trying to hold his breath as much as possible. He looked at the changes below and felt a little confident in his heart!
Can win! Maybe it can really resist the charge of these Hu people!
Thinking of this, he immediately pulled the stone throwing cannon with his companions around him and placed the balls one by one. At the same time, someone specially held the hollow iron cone that was burned red and inserted it directly on the balls to heat it, so that the balls gradually burned. The expression on everyone's face was a little excited, nervous, and with expectations in fear.
Jiang Yang and Jiang Xi came from the same village and were also in the same team at first, but with Yan Wu's re-detachment at that time, their fate changed. As Jiang Xi made his mark in the battle of Dangcheng, he made contributions and directly joined the scout team. Jiang Yang was a part of Wu Ding who was transferred back after the battle of Dangcheng. He was a veteran seed. He was finally selected to serve as the targeting man for the single-shot gun and was responsible for adjusting the angle.
In fact, when they learned this news, many Wu Dings, including Jiang Yang, were all worried. Even if they had defeated the Xianbei tribe once, even farmers like Jiang Yang knew that compared with Duan tribe, the Bo Zhen tribe was not worth mentioning at all. Both sides were not of the same level in terms of size and strength!
But afterwards, Bo Zhen's troops invested only 2,000 troops, and even those who escaped in the middle, probably less than 2,000. The real difficulty is that they are trying to force the people and force the people to be thieves.
Duan’s troops alone had 20,000 or 30,000 troops. In addition, the small troops that were summoned, the number of people was seven or eight times higher than the total number of guards in Dai County!
Even though Dai County is a city guarding the city, it has to divide its troops into many places and is mostly new recruits. Even these new recruits themselves know that the situation is not good. Logically, someone should have escaped timidly, but after several late meals, it aroused the courage in his heart.
"According to the prefect, our family is all here. If we retreat, our blood relatives will be slaughtered. If they fall into the hands of Hu people and demoted to slaves, they will never be able to turn over!"
These are all the reasons why Wu Ding like Jiang Yang has no way to retreat, and the scene in front of them has inspired their desire for victory!
These things immediately gathered into the courage in their hearts, making their strength seem to have increased a lot, their movements become more skillful, their coordination is much less awkward, and their speed is faster, and the balls are placed on the single-shot cannon.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Thirteen single-shot cannons were tightened at the same time. Although the shouts of killing on the entire city wall were loud and there was a sound of bowstrings, they still could not suppress the friction of the square wood of the cannon body, tight and deformed.
It's like a person slowly accumulating energy!
Jiang Xi pulled the rope and adjusted the angle. The sweat from her forehead kept flowing down, staring nervously at the battlefield below, the overwhelming cavalry and the ladder that had approached under the cover of many arrows!
The strength rose from the waist, reached the arms, and showed itself in my hands. I entered the rope, and I was slid, as if a thunderous blow was brewing.
finally!
As the iron cone heats up, the fires gradually burn, emitting a burning smell.
With a command, Jiang Yang shouted loudly along with other aiming people, and then loosened the rope in his hand with everyone.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Howling through the air, but this time it was no longer a tentative fire, but more than a dozen were flying together!
Not only that, as soon as the fire flew out, the other side started to pull the cannon cable again to prevent it again!
Before the firewall was launched, the new firewall was re-placed.
In the shed guarding the city wall, Chen Zhi stood upright, looking at the fire shattering through the air, narrowed his eyes, and behind him, Chen Zi, Su Liao and others raised their hearts at the same time.
This time when Duan's troops attacked the city, the strength of the two sides was very different, and the other side had the secret support of Wang Jun, the dominant ruler of Youzhou, so Dai County had no reinforcements. If you want to open up the situation, you can only rely on the new equipment that the prefect relied on. If this thing doesn't work, then you can only rub it according to the original method of defending the city.
But with Wang Jun supporting Duan’s family, as long as the time goes by, the Daijun family will rebel itself, and Chen Zhi’s side will only collapse.
Outside the city, Duan Wenyang, who led his army to defeat him, also saw the dozen or so groups of fire flying out of the city, especially in the evening, when the sky was about to be dark, just in front of a few firelights, which looked particularly eye-catching.
"That's... a fire stone?"
Duan Wenyang had seen rockets in the past, but just looking at the flight distance, it was definitely not something that arrows could reach, and the weight could not be carried by arrows, so he was stunned.
Just when he was stunned, more than a dozen fire groups had fallen into the charge of cavalry, and in an instant, several people caught fire, reenacting the original scene.
But this time, there were more screams due to the number!
Suddenly, a small part of the charger torrent of cavalry was blocked, and even Duan Wenyang had to pay attention to it.
"Is it actually attacking with fire? But how can a mere stone that caught fire stop my army?" He narrowed his eyes, waved the scimitar in his hand, and the personal soldiers beside him shot arrows at the city wall.
This is the command!
The torrent of cavalry was not blocked and he was still moving forward!
However, this is only temporary, because the second round of hot-swift volley has arrived!
Suddenly, the riders who saw the power of the flames were about to avoid it. Before the fire had fallen, the targeted cavalry team was in chaos.
There were also those brave ones who yelled wildly in the face of the fire and said, "Don't be afraid! As long as I wait to calm down, this thing will not have much impact, at most one or two people..."
But before he could finish his words, the fire that fell to the ground exploded, but this time it was not only Mars, but also the thick smoke, and many burning fires, before it even landed, exploded in the air. Then the caltrops gushed out like raindrops, covering an area, landing on the man, horse, and on the ground!? There were many people who were on fire and rolling on the ground because of their bodies. Now the caltrops fell, and the thorns were all over the ground, and they immediately pierced!
The screaming people and voices went up another step!
