The ordnance from the rear was quickly delivered, and Wei Qing also took advantage of this opportunity to select a new 5,000 siege team and arrange it in advance under the camp.
The reason why only 5,000 troops were allowed to attack was not because Wei Qing was reluctant to sacrifice, but because of the terrain restrictions here, which could only accommodate a maximum of 5,000 troops to attack at the same time. This was also the main reason why the vanguard army only had 5,000 troops.
"The generals, catapults, and crossbows have all been placed in their proper positions as required." Xue Dingshanhui reported.
"good."
A cold light flashed in Wei Qing's eyes, and he ordered coldly: "Don't rush to attack now. Order the phalanx of stone throwing and the phalanx of strong crossbows. The target is the Qing army camp. Within half an hour, 3,000 kerosene bombs must be fired.
Fifty thousand rockets for me to project."
Xue Dingshan was startled and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "General, three thousand kerosene bombs and 50,000 rockets are our army's entire kerosene and rocket reserves. If we project them all at once, what will we use for subsequent attacks?"
?Besides, at this distance, I’m afraid most of them will be empty.”
Wei Qing turned his head and looked at Xue Dingshan, but said nothing. However, Xue Dingshan already understood what he meant, lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "No."
Soon, Xue Dingshan returned and reported: "To inform the general, all kerosene ammunition has been moved into place."
"Okay, here's the general's order to launch." Wei Qing shouted.
[Ding dong, Wei Qing’s skill ‘Jin Ge’ is activated...
Jin Ge: This is Wei Qing’s unique skill. When activated at the same time as ‘Iron Horse’, it can activate the combo skill ‘Jin Ge and Iron Horse’.
Effect 1: When serving as a general, the commander is 1;
Effect 2, when facing foreigners, the commander +2, force 3, when facing the same race, commander +1, force 2, and the morale of the troops will increase significantly, the movement speed will increase, and the combat power will increase...;
Effect 3: When playing against foreigners, when the opponent's commander is lower than your own, it can reduce the opponent's intelligence by 1 to 3 points.
The current effect of Wei Qing's skill "Jin Ge" is 1 and 2. Wei Qing serves as the main commander and commander 1, and he fights against foreign commanders 2. The basic commander is 100, and the current commander has increased to 103 points.】
With the blessing of 'Jin Ge', Wei Qingbian's commander attribute suddenly increased to an astonishing 103. Such an astonishing commander attribute made him the top commander even in the Qin Army.
Of course, this is the state of Wei Qing against foreigners. If the same roommates are fighting, the commander of Wei Qing blessed by 'Jin Ge' will be 102.
Wei Qing, the commander of 102, faced Bai Qi of 106. Although he was repeatedly at a disadvantage, he was not completely defeated after all.
And now Wei Qing, who has a command of 103, is facing Tuoba Tao, who has a command of 98. The command gap is a full 5 points, which is even greater than Bai Qi's advantage at the beginning.
If Tuoba Tao didn't have the commanding skill to increase his commanding, he would never be able to block the attack under Wei Qing's personal command.
Tuoba Tao, who completely annihilated the Qin Army's vanguard in the first battle, was not arrogant and underestimated the enemy. After learning that Wei Qing was personally leading the army, he became even more energetic and repeatedly inspected the troops in the camp.
The defensive arrangements were made for fear of exposing flaws that would allow Wei Qing to take advantage of them.
"Major General, you've checked it three times. It's absolutely perfect." He said it was sticky.
"It's okay to be careful." Tuoba Tao said with a smile.
"General Qi, the layout of the Qin army is a bit strange."
"Oh? What's weird?"
"The Qin army is carrying supplies to the front of the formation."
Tuoba Tao's eyes narrowed and he said hurriedly: "Let's go and have a look."
After arriving at the camp gate, Tuoba Tao looked down from a high position and immediately saw the scene at the foot of the mountain, and his expression suddenly changed.
"not good."
Tuoba Tao screamed in surprise, and then shouted: "General Nian Deli, please quickly bring people to transport all the sandbags to the front camp."
Although Nian Deli was a little puzzled, he still accepted the order and left, while Tuoba Tao said to himself with a solemn look: "I hope it's not too late."
Under the command of Nian Deli, the Qing army quickly moved hundreds of bags of sandbags prepared in advance, which were piled everywhere in the front camp, but Tuoba Tao still asked to continue carrying them.
Nian Deli was very puzzled by this and asked: "Major General, why are we piling up so many sandbags in the front camp? All we need to defend the camp are rocks and rolling logs."
Tuoba Tao pointed to the supply truck that came down the mountain and was covered with black cloth, and said, "Did you see that truck? It's full of kerosene."
Nian Deli's expression suddenly changed. He didn't ask Tuoba Tao how he knew it. He forced a smile and said: "At such a high distance, it is unlikely that the Qin army's catapult will hit it."
"Although I deliberately built the camp outside the range of the Qin Army's catapults, who knows if the Qin Army has hidden catapults with a longer range?"
Tuoba Tao had heard that when the Qin army raided Lulongsai, they used new crossbows with a longer range. Who knows if there is a catapult with a longer range hidden?
Tuoba Tao didn't dare to gamble, so it was better to prepare sand and soil in advance. If the Qin army's kerosene bombs were really projected up, sand and soil could be used to extinguish the fire in time.
Seeing the movement on the Qin army's side, Tuoba Tao quickly shouted an order: "The Qin army is about to attack, the entire army is on alert."
[Ding dong, Tuoba Tao’s skill ‘Royal Army’ is activated...
Guarding the Army: Running the army rigorously, distinguishing between public and private affairs, and launching in times of crisis. Those with this skill can improve the quality of soldiers when training them.
Effect 1: During field battles and city defense battles, Commander 2: Troop morale increases;
Effect 2, when fighting generals, force 3;
Tuoba Tao’s skill ‘Army Guard’ is activated with effect 1, commander 3, and the current commander rises to 101.】
‘Royal Army’ is a skill that can only be possessed by generals who are good at training armies. Xu Huang also has this skill, but the increase in commandership is a bit stronger than that of Tuoba Tao.
With the 2-point command increase from the 'Royal Army', Tuoba Tao's command increased to 100. Compared with Wei Qing, who had 103, there was still a 3-point command gap.
Boom...boom...boom...
Following Wei Qing's order, the Qin army's catapult phalanx began to pour firepower on the Qing camp, and a large number of kerosene bombs were projected towards the Qing camp.
Unfortunately, the Qing army's camp was built too high, and most of the kerosene bombs failed to be thrown. Only a few of them actually hit in one round, but most of the rockets hit.
As soon as the kerosene bomb hit the ground, the clay pot shattered, the kerosene burst out, and a fire broke out in a large area.
Being splashed by the unfortunate Qingming, he screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body, but the refined kerosene was not so easy to extinguish.
No matter how much the soldier rolled, he still could not put out the fire and was burned to death. It was not until two other soldiers poured the entire bag of sand on top of him that the flames were completely extinguished.
"Quick, put out the fire with sand and earth, the Qin army's second round of attacks is coming." Tuoba Tao shouted anxiously.
