Chapter 265 Kerosene! Heavy crossbow, where do you want to go?
Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Bring the things up!"
Zhou Jin's heart skipped a beat in the distance, and there was always a feeling that something bad was going to happen and a disaster was imminent.
In the military formation ahead, a path gradually opened up, and a group of craftsmen were seen rolling out three strange vehicles.
There is a noose in front of this vehicle, which is obviously hung on the horses, making it easier to transport.
"Crossbow! It's just this crossbow, why is it different?" Zhou Jin blinked, a little wary, and couldn't help but said, "Good protection! The village has been treated with fire protection, and ordinary rockets can't do anything about it."
Lin Chong sat on the horse without any hesitation, staring at the improved Zhuge Liannu.
He really hated building ladders and then attacking the city with soldiers and ants. That would cause too many casualties and the scene would be really tragic.
He pinched his fingers. It would be great if he could make a cannon.
However, it’s just a thought.
Lin Chong also discovered a characteristic of the system. From the initial rewards to the present, it has basically not rewarded anything that is too advanced for this era.
If you put it this way, if you want to climb the technology tree, Lin Chong can only explore it on his own.
There is nothing wrong with black powder, and war telescopes. He has tinkered with these before, and it seems that he will tinker with them again in his private laboratory.
Moreover, gunpowder actually existed in this era, but how to weaponize it was always at a very preliminary stage.
Of course, there is another important reason, and that is the proportional formula, which has never reached the most accurate mixing ratio in later generations.
However, this thought also passed by in a flash. If you want to promote the development of anything, you cannot rely on that moment of thought.
The lower part of the Dazhai built by the army was made of stone, loess, glutinous rice, lime and other materials. It was about 1.5 meters tall. The upper part was made of wood. However, these wood had obviously been treated with fire protection. Some of the most critical structures were installed.
, also helps resist fire attacks.
It can be said that there are some reasons why this Dazhai could be built in such a short time.
There must be an expert giving guidance from behind, I don’t know what mysterious person it is.
"You are right. Such a stronghold must be nipped in the bud. As soon as it appears, it must be blown to pieces." Lin Chong said.
This thing is very troublesome. In just a few days, it has been built into a prototype and has strong protective capabilities. If left alone for ten days and a half, it will be able to build ten or twenty buildings. By then, they will be scattered all over the place, as if they are attached to bones.
The maggots, looking at each other from head to tail, will crucify Liangshan alive!
What a ruthless strategy!
What an insidious plan!
If everyone in Liangshan didn't care at first, by the time they really reacted, it would be too late.
Wu Yong also said: "If this thing spreads, it will be a disaster for our Liangshan Mountains. Just as the leader said, Yuncheng must be captured, and we must expand the area beyond the Liangshan River to another three hundred miles!"
The more Zhou Jin looked at the village, the more panicked he became. The crossbow carts looked like extraordinary objects. The most important thing was that there were several small catapults behind the carts!
"When did Liangshan have so many craftsmen that they could make such items?" Zhou Jin thought about it carefully, and then thought about the rush to help Yuncheng just now, and his heart skipped a beat again.
Oops!
Fell into a trap!
In the Liangshan army, Wu Yong suddenly said: "The boss, Wu, has a plan to undermine Zhou Jin's confidence."
"Oh? Tell me."
Wu Yong whispered a few words, and Lin Chong laughed and said: "This plan is very clever. No matter whether it succeeds or not, it will make you sick."
"I feel the same way."
"Then let's try it out. It seems that Zhou Jin is impatient and a greedy person. Maybe it will have good results."
Wu Yongce stepped forward and said: "Zhou Tongzhi, I heard that your martial arts are extraordinary. Why don't you come down and compete with me, the heroes of Liangshan. If you can defeat me, Commander Du Qian, I, Liangshan, will retreat immediately."
When Zhou Jin heard this, he looked startled and was about to speak.
The soldier on the side said: "Don't take control seriously. If you make any mistake, our village will be destroyed."
Zhou Jin was eager to give it a try. He claimed to be outstanding in martial arts, but he looked down upon the martial arts of these Liangshan bandits.
"If we were to kill them, this rabble might be scattered like birds and beasts." Zhou Jin said without giving up.
"Controller, you must not do this. Before you came, the prefect gave many instructions, telling you to be cautious and prudent, and not to underestimate the enemy and rush in."
"Shut up! I still need you to teach me a lesson." Zhou Jin was furious and shouted down, "What age are we in, and you still want to challenge generals to a duel? Come and attack if you have the ability! Let's meet my subordinates.
True chapter!"
"Hahahaha! Turns out he's a coward. I thought he was capable, but he turns out to be a coward."
"That's right, that's right. He's a dignified ruler. He doesn't even dare to challenge me in Liangshan. He's really a death-phobe."
"Zhou Jin, please call me General Shoutou from now on!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"My son, daddy is here, you are so afraid of death, you only dare to shrink your head."
.........
"That's unreasonable! These bastards are making me angry!" It was a good thing that Zhou Jin didn't listen, but when he heard it, he became so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.
On the other side, the soldiers on Mount Liang laughed loudly, as if they were playing Zhou Jin like a monkey.
The generals laughed, but the Imperial Guards at the other end of the village felt very aggrieved. They all looked at their own generals, and it was obvious that their morale had dropped a lot.
Wu Yong said: "Master, the fire is almost done."
Lin Chong nodded, looked at Du Qian and Song Wan aside, and said: "Two commanders, it's up to you."
"My subordinates take orders!" Du Qian and Song Wandeng immediately began to order the troops.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
When the crossbow cart was pushed forward, there were also craftsmen pushing more than a dozen small catapults.
Zhou Jin, who suppressed his anger, stared at the small catapult below and said disdainfully: "It is normal for children to play with such a small catapult. If you want to attack a city with this thing, you are simply asking for humiliation!"
"
The soldiers on the side also said: "In the army, slingshots are all one to two feet high, and this thing is only as tall as a person. I guess the craftsman is too bad, so I can only make something later to fool the Liangshan bandits."
"You're right. The people in Liangshan are all rough people. Few of them have read books. What knowledge can they have? Humph, I was worried for a long time just now, thinking that they really have any ability. I'm just afraid of that crossbow.
The car is just a bluff." Zhou Jin finally let go of his worries at this moment and showed a contemptuous smile, "I was so cautious and prudent just now, I really think highly of them! Even if I am going out of the city to fight, they will scatter like birds and beasts."
The soldiers quickly flattered: "What the commander said is absolutely true. The Liangshan bandits are all a mob. They seem to be in a big scene, but they are just showing off. If they dare to attack the city later, they will use bows, crossbows, arrows, rolling logs, thunder and boulders. Let them go
No return.”
"Hahahahahaha! Okay! Well said! As long as Lin Chong is defeated today, a second stronghold will be built within three days, and three strongholds will be built within a month. Liangshan will be surrounded sooner or later!" Zhou Jinyue said!
The more excited you are.
"Commander, the trebuchet is about to be launched, do you want to get ready?" a soldier on the side reminded.
Zhou Jin looked at it intently and showed confusion: "What are those tied black cloth bags?"
"I don't know, little one."
"Everyone, cheer up for me. Don't delay. Whoever dares to disobey orders will be the first to chop off his head." Zhou Jin said sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the trebuchets on the other side of the Liangshan Army made a "pop-pop" sound, and large black cloth bags flew in the sky.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
.....
Suddenly, a bunch of cloth bags were smashed on the wall of the village. The cloth bags were so thin that when they touched the wall, they exploded like liquid and splashed everywhere. The black liquid inside was all flowing along the wall.
It flowed slowly, and within a short time, it covered a wall.
The strange black liquid clings to the wall with every attack.
I don’t know what kind of material it was made of, but as soon as it touched the stockade, it exploded.
Even some soldiers on the tower were hit by the bags because they couldn't escape.
The shields of those who were attacked were stained with black liquid, and some scattered black oil fell on them.
The soldiers on the side laughed and said: "These Liangshan soldiers are simply crazy! If you can't defeat them, why use this thing that Wu used? Are they humiliating us? But what's the use? It's just making people laugh."
But at this moment, Zhou Jin's face was extremely serious, and he said after a long time: "No, no, something seems wrong."
The soldier wondered: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, hurry up! Get ready to put out the fire, I have a bad feeling." Zhou Jin, who had always been confident of winning, now looked extremely expressionless, as if he was facing a disaster.
"Push!"
In the rounds of slingshots, the black liquid, as if it was free of charge, splashed all over the sky and hit the village.
Over and over again, it's simply rampant and unscrupulous.
However, Zhou Jin felt flustered and had a terrible suffocation.
It was a feeling of impending disaster, like wanting to suffer a huge disaster.
"Something's wrong. Lin Chong heard that he often plots and is not an ordinary person. What the hell is that black liquid? Why do I have an ominous premonition?" Zhou Jin subconsciously took a step back, as if a disaster was imminent.
The guard on the side smiled and said: "Sir, maybe they are crazy? Are they deliberately using these weird methods to scare us?"
"Wait a minute, look over there!" At this moment, Zhou Jin raised his hand, pointed his fingertips into the distance, and shouted, "What is that?"
The guards on the side were also shocked. They followed Zhou Jin's gaze and looked into the distance. Their originally contemptuous gaze suddenly became particularly terrifying.
In their astonished eyes, the catapults in the distance stopped working, and the catapults and crossbows were igniting rockets!
In the horrified eyes of Zhou Jin and others, they heard the roar of Liang Shanjun.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
…
Amidst the roar that resounded throughout the sky, the terrifying crossbow was like a life-threatening weapon!
At that moment, a terrifying cry erupted.
Zhou Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his chest, and then rushed straight to his brain!
"Oops!" Zhou Jin only had time to say these two words, but he saw countless crossbow arrows, like terrible reminders, falling on the village.
The flame exploded suddenly, and the next moment, the black oil splashed on the wall followed the fire and exploded with a "bang".
"It's over! It's over! That's oil! It's actually this thing!" Zhou Jin yelled, "It can only be watered! Bring water!"
But what's the use of this roar?
Now that things have happened, what else has emerged?
The Zhuge Divine Crossbow in the distance fell on Dazhai like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
Every time it falls, the black liquid on the wall instantly ignites and bursts into flames.
Amidst the flames soaring into the sky, unimaginable hot smoke erupted, and a huge plume of smoke erupted.
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!"
The terrifying cry of the Liangshan Army in the distance was like a sign of death, but it made the shouting Imperial Army tremble in fear.
"It's actually like this! It's terrible!"
Zhou Jin's expression changed wildly. Originally, Dazhai was for protection, but it was doused with black oil by the Liangshan Army and burned with crossbows.
The entire wall was now wrapped in flames.
The temperature of the entire village rose rapidly. The people guarding the village tower felt the huge heat. The next moment, the entire tower began to burn.
"Control! This is a fire attack plan! What should we do?" The faces of the soldiers changed wildly, with a look of horror on their faces.
The fire caused the strong wind, and when the rocket met the kerosene, it could be said to add fuel to the fire. The whole village burned with crackling noises and bursts of explosions.
"Tongzhi, if the fire continues, the entire village will be destroyed! Let's retreat!" the soldier said.
Zhou Jin was really dumbfounded. He had worked hard to build this village, but he never expected that he would end up in this situation!
This is how it happened!
Normally when attacking a city, we would build ladders, bombard them indiscriminately, and tear them apart.
What the hell is going on?
This group of Liangshan troops did not get even half a step closer, and not even a single soldier was willing to attack in person. They only relied on crossbows and fire attacks, but they turned the village into a pot of porridge.
Although Dazhai was well prepared for fire prevention, they never expected that Liangshan Army would be so shameless and use such tactics!
It's simply crazy, unbelievable, and extremely shameless!
The fire was soaring into the sky, and the original protective wall was burning more and more intensely under the fire. This large village was useless under the current circumstances.
It’s over!
All is lost!
Zhou Jin hesitated endlessly, with his silver teeth, he wanted to bite it into pieces and swallow it into his stomach.
"Withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops!"
Zhou Jin roared in pain. If he doesn't retreat now, he will definitely be buried in a sea of fire.
Damn it!
This is the first time that Zhou Jin has sent troops to suppress bandits, and he has ended up in this situation.
The soldier on the side said: "Commander, leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood, so hurry up and leave!"
Zhou Jin finally nodded and said: "Issue an order to retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, troops and horses were immediately mobilized. Zhou Jin led the army and came down from the village tower. The guards had already brought the horses.
"Exit from the north gate! Leave immediately! Go to Yuncheng!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Dazhai army mobilized frequently. The north gate opened in the distance, and Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
