Chapter 302 Arson

Xiangyang City is located on the south bank of the Han River. The city was built approximately in the Western Han Dynasty. It was surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. ↑Major is located in the Han River and has a long history. It has always been valued by military strategists throughout the ages and is a place that military strategists must fight for.

At this time, Song Yu's army besieged the city walls, and saw the towering walls, as if they were entering the clouds. On the walls, there were even more densely packed with piles of balusters, about a thousand.

The six gates were closed, and the moat flowed quietly, with a widest place of more than seventy feet. Even if it was an ordinary catapult, it would be difficult to throw a huge stone to the top of Xiangyang city.

The city is high and the river is wide, and the defense system is complete. At this time, Xiangyang City is a powerful pass in the world!!! It has the saying that "strike Xiangyang iron" and "the first city to work hard".

Even though Song Yu's generals had experienced many battles, they were now taking a breath of air when they saw Xiangyang City: "How many soldiers' blood should be used to fill it up in such a mighty city!!!"

In ancient times when giant cannons were not invented, a city was an unrivalled fortress. In the history of Fang Ming’s previous life, Xiangyang once blocked the Mongolian army for six or seven years, causing heavy losses to Mongolia, which swept across Europe and Asia.

And now, the same problem is also placed in front of Song Yu.

"We have wiped out the surrounding prefectures and counties, but Xiangyang has sent troops to support us. It seems that Shi Longjie and Longcheng are determined to defend the enemy this time!!!"

Facing this world's most powerful city, Song Yu looked calm and said to someone beside him.

"Shi Longjie is extremely strict in his military use and his military law is harsh. He is newly defeated at this time. If he divides his troops again, his soldiers will definitely escape. But now he is trapped in the lonely city and can be condensed!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar around him answered respectfully.

This person is Ning Ruochen. He was previously sponsored by Fang Ming and came to join Song Yu. He went through life and death on the way.

It was also his fate that Song Yu happened to send troops to Jingzhou. He encountered this, otherwise he would have to go all the way to Wuzhou, and he would die in a foreign land.

Ning Ruochen was familiar with the law and had a natural fate. Song Yu was also very proud of it. Although he was still a scattered official from the ninth rank, he could often serve the Duke, and was extremely noble.

"Ruochen's words are very good! Xiangyang City is high and the river is wide. If it is a strong attack, it will take time and effort. Our army will suffer heavy losses!"

The Song Yu army was hit hard before. Although they are now reorganized, they are still worse than before. If the casualties are too large, they may have mutiny.

"If Shi Longjie knew our plan, he might vomit blood!" Song Yu said with a smile, clearing the prefectures and counties around Xiangyang at this time. The army besieged Xiangyang, and the outcome was decided.

"The lord's magic tricks are so vain that his strange plan is in vain. Ren Shi Longjie wants to break his head. He is not his lord's opponent!" Shen Wenbin said.

On the other side, Ning Ruochen was a little confused, but he also knew that what the lord and Shen Wenbin said was Xiangyang's plan. He could not hear it now, so he immediately bowed and said he would leave.

At the top of Xiangyang City, Shi Longjie and Longcheng stood side by side, looking at Song Yu's army, their faces were a little ugly.

"I thought that the previous night attack would have caused a severe blow to the Wu army. It would not take at least next year to recover. I didn't expect that now, I could have a large army of 100,000. This is really terrifying and terrifying!" Longcheng murmured, looking at Shi Longjie again.

"You said, if the Wu army still used the previous golden armored soldiers, how long can we resist?" As he spoke, although he tried his best to hide it, Longcheng's voice was still trembling slightly. It seemed that the previous golden armored talisman soldiers left a deep impression on him.

"Don't worry! That matter is absolutely impossible, it's absolutely impossible to use it anymore!" Shi Longjie promised.

He had done this before. Although the scale was smaller than Song Yu, he directly rushed to the battlefield with the ghost army, not as good as Song Yu. At least there were soldiers, separated by a layer of body.

This made him seriously injured and almost suffered a round of punishment!!!

As for yourself and others, the city gods on Song Yu must be the same.

"That's good! That's good..." Longcheng's face looked much better.

"Hmph! There is no courageous rat!!!" Shi Longjie cursed in his heart, but he did not show his face. "We collect young and strong soldiers nearby and reorganized, and there are also 70,000 troops. Relying on Xiangyang's natural danger, there may not be no chance of winning!!!"

"This book will naturally know that it is not too early, so I will go down to arrange defense! Goodbye!!!" Longcheng waved his hand, regardless of Shi Longjie's ugly face, and then walked away with his fists.

In his opinion, Shi Longjie is a rebel! How can he be compared to him as a genuine court official? But Shi Longjie is strong and his army is still above him. As soon as he entered Xiangyang, he almost competed him. How could he tolerate this?

If the two of them had not been in harmony with the Supreme Taoist in the middle, and with the common enemy of Song Yu, the army would finally endure it, otherwise they would have had an internal fight!!!

"Damn it!!!" Shi Longjie looked at Longcheng's back, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

...

On the blink of an eye, the second day was approaching. Song Yu's army formed a clear-cut lineup, obeying orders, forming several square formations, surrounding the six gates of Xiangyang.

In front of the army, dozens of siege cars were ready to go, with murderous aura.

"Are you going to attack the city?" At this time, Longcheng and Shi Longjie didn't care about the internal struggle and came to the top of the city to look out.

"Listen to the people in the city, my lord, Duke Wu, is merciful, I will give you the last opportunity to surrender. I hope you will not mislead yourself! Then the creatures will be in trouble, and you will be a sinner!!!"

As usual, a cavalry was sent to persuade the surrender.

"Hmph! What kind of creatures are so bad that I can scare and kill us!" Longcheng sneered, "A traitor, do you want to surrender?"

An arrow shot out from the head of Xiangyang City and landed far away. This means not to surrender. The officer who was shouting shook his head when he saw this and also transferred the horse head back to the camp.

"You go down!" Song Yu had no feeling when he sent away the officer with a shame. Sending someone to surrender was just a routine matter. He never fantasized about taking Xiangyang so easily.

"Try the catapult car first!!!" Song Yu passed the military order.

"Prepare!!! Aim!!! Send!!!"

The officer in charge of the catapult issued an order, a wave of huge rocks roared and roared across the sky and flew towards the Xiangyang city wall. The scene covered the sky and made the guards frightened.

"Bang!!!" When the huge rock was several feet away from the city wall, its kinetic energy was exhausted and fell into the moat, making a sound of rolling sound, causing huge splashes of water.

"Haha! Xiangyang moat is the best in the world. Although Wu Jun's catapult cart is powerful, it is not enough to reach the top of the city!!!" Longcheng said with a laugh.

"The power of the catapult is still too small!" Song Yu looked at the head of Xiangyang city, but showed such a look.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Song Yu's investment in the Ministry of Works has become extremely high. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Works are also constantly striving for excellence and making fine products. However, this catapult cart is limited by the technology and is still somewhat insufficient.

"I heard that Mongolian's Huihuan cannons in my previous life could hit the head of Xiangyang City. The Mongolian army used this to break the city. Unfortunately, I didn't remember the structural diagram at all!" Song Yu was a little sorry.

The catapult cart before was already the most advanced weapon of the Wu army, and it was impossible to throw huge stones onto the city wall. According to common sense, in this way, it could only be filled with human lives!!! It was dragged down!!!

Perhaps the boulder can be replaced with lighter, but it will have no lethality to the city wall.

"This is the new army of ours. This time, we want to use great victory to increase the military spirit. If there are heavy casualties, what's the use?"

There are 70,000 defenders in Xiangyang City. Although most of them are new soldiers, it is still more than enough to defend the city. With a large army of 100,000, it is impossible to capture it at all.

"It's over now, so I can only use that trick! Even if it's said to be cruel by later generations, I'm not going to care about it!"

Song Yu's face was grim and determined, and he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Shen Wenbin: "Send an order to transfer my fire mansion to you!!!"

"No!" Shen Wenbin took the token tremblingly, his face pale, as if he was seeing some terrifying scene.

Shi Longjie, Longcheng and others on the city saw Song Yu's army allocating, and a mansion came up with a huge catapult.

The soldiers of this mansion were wearing red robes and lit up with the fire flag. They all over the mansion, and there were actually hundreds of catapults!

"So many catapults?" Long Cheng's face changed a little.

"What are you afraid of? This catapult is smaller than before. At most, you can throw some gravel over, so you can't even break the battlements!" Shi Longjie snorted coldly.

"Fire bomb ready!!!"

The generals of the Liehuo Mansion received the order from Song Yu!!!

Each team has special staff to take out the strictly guarded black oil bombs and place them in the groove of the catapult.

"Aim! Ignite!!! Send!!!"

Hundreds of catapults were launched together, whistling everywhere, hundreds of oil bombs cut through the sky and landed on the top of Xiangyang city.

"Bang!!!" The oil bomb fell to the ground and exploded, setting off a sea of ​​fire, wrapping the soldiers inside, and the hero burned!!!

"This is? The sulphur bomb!!! Is Song Yu crazy? Where did he get so much oil??" Long Cheng's eyes were lost and murmured to himself.

"Why are you still standing there? The oil bomb floats when it encounters water, and you can quickly get sand, stone and other objects to put out!!!" On the other side, Shi Longjie was very experienced and quickly passed the order.

"The oil is precious, and you can only throw it into a few rounds. What's the use of burning some soldiers to death?" Shi Longjie murmured to himself.

"Aim! Ignite!!! Send!!!"

With another order, hundreds of oil bombs fell from the sky again, turning the city of Xiangyang into a sea of ​​fire.

"The oil bomb is much lighter than the boulder, and smaller catapults can be thrown into Xiangyang!!!"

Regardless of the discolored faces of the generals around him, Song Yu said with a faint smile.

"Aim! Ignite!!! Launch!!!" In just a moment, the oil-dropped truck fired ten rounds, thousands of oil bombs, almost covering the entire head of Xiangyang, bringing up the heroic flames, and the heat waves rolled, almost burning the clouds in the sky!

"So much!!! So much tincture!!!" Shi Longjie's face was ferocious and he couldn't believe it.

"Send the order and the army will defend strictly, and don't be run out of the gate by the enemy!!!"

Song Yu issued an order: "Don't stop Liehuo Mansion, continue to vote for me!!!"

With the order, endless oil bombs were sent to the front line and were thrown into Xiangyang by a catapult cart, flaming violent flames, and the soldiers cried endlessly. Even the soldiers of Wu army could smell the aroma of barbecue!!! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
