Although Dongman and Dangxiang are both nomadic peoples, they are different.
There are many deserts in Dangxiang. Every year in late spring or other seasons with little rain and windy weather, yellow sand is flying all over the sky.
When the wind is strong, not to mention the tent, everyone will be unable to stand still.
Dangxiang people can only build houses to resist, so there are many cities in Dangxiang territory.
The territory of the Eastern Barbarians is almost entirely covered with flat grasslands. For the convenience of grazing, most of the Eastern Barbarians usually live in tents and migrate with the water and grass.
Therefore, there are only a few cities in the entire Eastern Barbarians.
The so-called Eastern Barbarian Royal City actually does not even have the Guangyuan County City.
This is also the reason why Jin Feng did not take the initiative after asking Zhang Liang to take back Yuguan City.
The grassland is so big that Zhang Liang and others are not familiar with the place. It is really difficult to find the gathering point of the Eastern Barbarians.
Moreover, regardless of whether men, women, old or young, the Eastern Barbarians all grew up on horses and their reactions were too flexible.
Once they saw the airship, the Eastern Barbarians dispersed on horseback, making it impossible for the airship to pursue them.
Therefore, it is very difficult to take the initiative to attack the Eastern Barbarians, which is basically a thankless task.
Jin Feng's goal in sending the Northern Expedition was not to conquer the Eastern Barbarians, but to let them guard Yuguan City and prevent the Eastern Barbarians from causing trouble.
In addition, the explosive pack technology was not very mature at that time, so there were only two explosive packs in the entire Yuguan City.
Just now, one of the siege vehicles was used in the bombing, and now two more siege vehicles have arrived at once. What should I do?
"Is it possible for you to use an explosive pack to knock down these two big guys?"
Liu Tie asked, holding the grenadier.
"If they advance side by side, they may still have a chance, but now..."
The grenadier shook his head in confusion.
The two siege vehicles were one behind the other, with a gap of about ten feet in between. Liu Tie also knew that the possibility of one explosive pack knocking off two siege vehicles was too small.
He did not embarrass the grenadier, but asked: "Then do you have any other ideas?"
"Now we can only bundle more grenades together, maybe we can blow up this big guy." The grenadier replied.
"Quick, bring two boxes of grenades over here!"
Liu Tie called his guards to move the grenades, and put the last explosive package into the hands of the grenadier: "Kill the one who is close first!"
"Yes!" The grenadier took the explosive package with both hands.
When the siege vehicle in front was about five feet away from the city wall, the grenadier lit the fuse and threw the explosive package.
The explosive pack drew an arc and landed just under the left floor of the siege vehicle.
The next second, the explosive pack exploded with a bang.
With a loud bang, the second siege vehicle also fell a few feet away from the city wall!
It also blocked the path of the siege vehicle behind it, forcing it to stop and change direction.
"here you go!"
Liu Tie excitedly patted the grenadier on the shoulder.
The siege vehicle behind was already less than fifteen feet away from the city wall, and it would take at most ten minutes to reach the city wall.
Just now, Liu Tie was worried that the time was too short to tie up the grenades, but now he is fine.
The siege vehicle was huge, and it was impossible to successfully turn around until it took thirty or forty minutes.
The grenadier chuckled, ran over, picked up a bamboo pole, and started attaching grenades to it.
It is impossible to overturn such a large siege vehicle with three to five grenades.
The grenadier tied a total of twenty grenades to the bamboo pole before finishing.
At this time, the siege vehicle had successfully turned around and approached the city wall again.
The grenadier weighed the bamboo pole back and forth several times, then stood behind the arrow stack and waited silently.
When the last siege vehicle was still three feet away from the city wall, the grenadier took a deep breath and rushed out with a grenade string.
However, what all the bodyguards did not expect was that after the siege vehicle was blown over just now, the Eastern Barbarians had been guarding against the grenadiers.
Hidden under the wooden ladder of the siege vehicle was a strong man wearing a wolf skin coat and a weird wolf skin hat on his head.
Not all Eastern Barbarians can wear this kind of hat. Only those who participate in the riding and archery competition every year and win the honor of being a divine archer can wear it.
In the Eastern Barbarians, where almost everyone can ride and shoot, everyone who can be called a magic archer is a true magic archer.
This man was hiding under the huge wooden ladder, scanning the Yuguan city wall with his eyes like a hawk.
The grenadier had just raised the string of grenades, but before he could throw it down, he was discovered by the archer.
The magic archer immediately raised his hand, without even aiming, the arrow flew out and hit the grenadier's left eye!
The grenadier took two steps back due to the inertia of the arrow, and the grenade string fell down weakly.
At this time, the fuse of the grenade string has been ignited. If it explodes on the city wall, Liu Tie and others around will not be able to survive, and maybe a gap will be blown out of the city wall.
Soon enough, one of the guards behind Liu Tie rushed over, caught the grenade string and threw it out.
The grenade string exploded in the air before it hit the ground!
The air wave of the explosion swept over, Liu Tie and others were knocked over directly, and their ears were almost deafened.
Liu Tie shook his head and staggered towards the grenadier, wanting to check the grenadier's injury.
But when he saw the grenadier for the first time, Liu Tie's heart dropped.
The arrow shot into the grenadier's eye, and even half of the arrow shaft did not enter his head. Even if the gods came, it would be impossible to save him.
Since joining Jin Feng, Liu Tie has become a veteran who has fought in both the north and south. Not only is he used to the sacrifice of his comrades, but he can also accept it.
The real reason that made Liu Tie feel depressed was that his grenadier, who was the most accurate at throwing explosives and most familiar with explosives, was gone!
The enemy's siege vehicles will soon be pushed to the edge of the city wall. At this time, it will definitely be too late to find someone to make a grenade string!
Before Liu Tie could think of a solution, the wooden ladder of the siege vehicle had already leaned against the city wall with a roar.
Hundreds of Eastern Barbarian soldiers rushed up the wooden ladder with weapons in hand and rushed towards the city wall.
The siege vehicle was obviously made based on the height of Yuguan City, which was more than two meters higher than the city wall.
In the past, Liu Tie and the others were condescendingly attacking each other, but now it was the other party that was condescendingly attacking themselves!
But Liu Tie's battles in the past two years were not in vain. He was not afraid of the crazy influx of enemies. Instead, he calmly drew out his black knife and roared: "The first company will block it for me, and the second company will transport the kerosene.
This damn thing is burned!"
Following Liu Tie's order, the company immediately formed a defensive formation and defended under the wooden ladder.
The siege vehicle was more than three square meters wide, allowing seven or eight soldiers to charge side by side.
As soon as the company arranged its battle formation, more than a dozen Eastern Barbarian soldiers jumped down from the wooden ladder.
No one on either side said a word. The moment the Eastern Barbarian soldiers landed on the city wall, the bodyguard thrust his spear into them!
The Second Company also immediately ran to each catapult to carry kerosene.
The siege vehicles are made of wood. Although they are very thick logs, if they are burned for a while, they will definitely burn out. The question is whether the bodyguards can hold on until then!
