"Report to the governor, there are eighteen catapults outside the East City!"

"There are twenty-five catapults outside the West City!"

Soldiers kept coming to report, and Li Yanqing nodded. Except for the south city, there were bed crossbows on both the east and west walls. He immediately ordered: "Let the bed crossbows be fired at will, and there is no need to wait for my order. In addition, tell the main general, pay attention to extinguishing the fire at the top of the city!"

Several messengers rushed away, and Li Yanqing's attention turned to outside the North City. Eighty giant catapults were arranged in a row three hundred steps away from the North City, and they were ready to project.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Bed crossbow fire!"

The bed crossbow is the only long-range weapon on the top of the city that can attack 300 steps away. This time the bed crossbow has been improved. Some large crossbow arrows tied a gunpowder cartridge at the front of the shaft, making the bed crossbow arrow a gunpowder arrow. However, this kind of gunpowder arrow has very weak explosive power and is mainly suitable for ignition. Of course, the Song army is also targeted. Li Yanqing had long expected that the Jin soldiers would definitely focus on fire attack today.

The red flag was waved, and five hundred crossbows on the top of the northern city began to fire. The powerful crossbow arrows were whizzing at the catapult, making a harsh sound of breaking through the air. At this time, the catapult was still preparing for the launch. The sudden crossbow arrows caused chaos in the Jin soldiers. Dozens of Jin soldiers were penetrated through their chests and died tragically on the spot. Two crossbow arrows with gunpowder cartridges shot into a pile of turbulent oil barrels and exploded. The two turbulent oil barrels were ignited. The Jin soldiers were in a hurry and moved the turbulent oil barrels away. At the same time, three turbulent oil machines were shot off the belt and collapsed with a bang.

Wanyan Loushi was furious and ordered: "Start!"

The Jin soldiers' catapults began to fire. With a sound of "bang! bang!", seventy-seven turbulent barrels rose into the air and flew towards the top of the city.

This time, the Jin soldiers made full preparations. In order to make the turbulent oil barrels accurately, they specially rebuilt a batch of special oil barrels. The wooden shells are very thin, and each barrel of oil weighs 45 kilograms, which can accurately land three hundred steps away.

Of course, the Jin soldiers launched the city in North City to attack the city. Before that, they had already burned in North City once, and it would be meaningless to shoot into the city.

A small black dot passed through the air and shot towards the city. The Jin soldiers were prepared and the landing of the turret barrels was very accurate. Although not all the oil barrels fell on the city, at least 70% of them hit the target.

For a moment, there were broken pieces of wood and tincture oil all over the city. Zhang Qing shouted in a hurry, "Cover it with soil!"

The soldiers immediately dumped bags of mud and sand onto the oil. Before they could finish the second round of attacks of the Jin soldiers came, but this time they shot fireballs. The Jin soldiers obviously wanted to light the city first and then continue to fire tinder oil. The huge fireball hit the city and immediately broke into the ground, with fine fire points everywhere.

This is the inspiration that Wanyan Xi also got when he saw the Song army's fireball when he was piled up hills. The fireballs of the Jin soldiers were seized from the hands of the Liao Kingdom. They were wrapped in layers of oil cloth and soaked in tinder oil. They were like a large ball with excellent elasticity. The range was only two or three hundred steps, but the fireball could bounce out a mile away. It was a sharp weapon for attacking the narrow city, but it was not good to attack the narrow city. Before the fireball could ignite the tinder oil, it jumped into the city.

All the Jin soldiers learned this kind of broken fireball from the Song army. They were made of hay and immediately shattered after landing, and no longer bounced up. They were very suitable for fixed ignition.

Although the soldiers guarding the city covered the tinder as fast as possible, several oil spills were still ignited, and seven or eight places on the top of the city burned.

"Cover it with soil!"

Zhang Qing was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He knew that the Jin soldiers' turtle oil was coming soon. At the same time, he was secretly glad that if the mud and sandbags were placed under the city, it would be too late. Thanks to the experience of the Dutong, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"Order the city to send mud and sandbags immediately, the more the better!" Zhang Qing realized that mud and sandbags might not be enough, so he immediately ordered the militia to transport mud and sandbags.

Tens of thousands of militia immediately rushed to the city with mud and sandbags on their backs. At this time, the Jin soldiers launched the third round of trench oil, and the fire came from the city. More than fifty barrels of tinder oil hit the city. A fire point on the west side of the city wall had no time to extinguish it. With a bang, the flames spread rapidly.

"Use oil cloth, hurry up!" One of the stern generals yelled in a hurry.

Dozens of soldiers dragged a roll of oil cloth toward the flames, three meters long and one meters wide covered the flames. The soldiers were covered with mud and sand like crazy, and finally extinguished the fire that was about to spread.

After the initial rush, the Song soldiers gradually gained experience and began to cooperate tacitly. The Jin soldiers continued to shoot fireballs and turbulent oil several times. Although the city was extremely thrilling, they were all controlled by the soldiers guarding the city. The scene that the Jin soldiers hoped to see was swallowed by the raging fire did not happen.

But a fire broke out in the city. The trencher shot the turbulent balls from both sides of the east and west at the same time. The area near the city wall was mainly slums, with many wooden houses and thatched houses. These houses were first hit by the turbulent balls and burned. In addition, the houses were densely packed, and the fire spread rapidly.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the city carried wooden barrels and wooden basins, pouring water to put out fires in the slums, but the fire was too strong and could not be suppressed for a while. The entire inner city was close to the city walls on the east and west sides. A large fire broke out in the outer city, but this was a fire caused by the turbulent oil ball hitting the city wall and bounced back.

Although the city was in full swing, Wanyan Xieye's eyes became colder. More than a dozen rounds of tincture oil and fireballs had been fired, but no fire was lit on the top of the city. Wanyan Xie also knew in his heart that the Song army had broken his fire attack. He immediately said coldly: "Phot two thunders that shook the sky, and then attack the city!"

During the sneak attack last night, twenty thunders fell into the moat and destroyed it. At present, there are still thirty thunders left in the Jin camp. These thirty thunders were to be sent back to the Jin Kingdom for research, but Wanyan Xie finally deducted ten thunders for today's decisive battle. He has sent people to Yanjing Prefecture.

Seeing that the fire attack was not good, Wanyan Xi also decided to throw two thunders to boost morale first. Two thunders were put into the pocket. Two Jin soldiers lit the fuse, and the fuse was hissing and loud. When it reached the red scale, the commander shouted, and the two thunders mixed in the fireball and flew into the city.

The targets of the Jin soldiers were aimed at the city tower. Two thunders flew towards the city tower one by one and the other. Li Yanqing stood in front of the city tower. Several of his personal soldiers suddenly realized something was wrong. They overthrew Li Yanqing in the corner of the wall, and several people rushed behind him together.

‘Bang!’ A deafening thunder exploded in the air about ten feet from the top of the city. The huge shock wave and deafening explosion caused the soldiers near the city tower to suffer a lot. Dozens of soldiers were overturned to the ground, and many soldiers covered their ears and squatted on the ground in pain.

The second thunder of the sky drilled into the city tower and exploded in it. Suddenly, black smoke filled the sky drilled and broken wood flew around. The thunder of the sky drilled was extremely powerful, and half of the city tower was blown away. A piece of wood fell and hit hard on the back of a personal soldier who was guarding Li Yanqing.

After a while, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, several soldiers rushed up and helped Li Yanqing up. Two of the three personal soldiers who protected him fainted. One was shocked by the shock wave, the other was knocked out by wood, and the leg was hit by an iron piece. Another was lucky and safe.

Li Yanqing quickly ordered the soldiers to carry two fainted personal soldiers down the city to treat them, while other soldiers in the city were busy extinguishing the fireballs.

At this moment, a low trumpet sounded under the city. Li Yanqing was stunned and immediately shouted: "Ring the war drum, the enemy is going to attack the city!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The drums sounded loudly on the top of the city, which was also the gathering drum sound at the top of the city. The soldiers immediately changed from the defensive fire attack and began to pick up weapons and stand at the top of the city. The militia responsible for the trench also entered their seats.

The Jin soldiers did stop the fire attack, but instead changed to a huge rock cast. The Jin soldiers' catapults were still half left under the attack of the crossbow, but forty catapults were still fierce, with huge rocks flying over and hitting the city. The soldiers on the city cried out and squatted down one after another.

‘Boom!’ A huge rock hit the battlement hard, and the gravel flew around. The huge rock bounced high again, crossed the soldiers' heads and smashed into the city. A faint scream came from the bottom of the city. Tens of thousands of militia were basically concentrated at the foot of the wall, and the Jin soldiers had no thunder of the sky. Otherwise, the militia would have suffered heavy casualties if the thunder of the sky fell into the city.

‘Crack!’ Another sound of a broken wood came from the city. The soldiers under the city shouted and dodged to both sides. The throwing pole of a catapult was hit by a huge rock and broke immediately. The long throwing pole rolled down to the city.
