Niu Fu sat upright on his horse, his lips curved slightly, and he smiled: "I didn't expect that Nanyang's arsenal is so rich that it can be equipped with 800 shields. In this battle, Commander Zhang should be the first to contribute."
"Where~~"
Zhang Zi hurriedly handed over his hand and returned the credit to Niu Fu: "I just provided some shields. You are the one who commanded the battle, General Niu. This credit naturally belongs to you, General."
Who dares to claim such credit?
In short, Zhang Zi would not dare to kill him.
If this battle is eventually revealed and King Hongnong is forced to death, shouldn't he bear the responsibility himself?
Zhang Zi would rather not take the credit and endure for two more years than bear the infamy that drove King Hongnong to death.
Niu Fu didn't understand the unspoken rules of the scholar circle, so he just thought that Zhang Zi was flattering him and said with a sarcastic smile: "Don't worry, after this battle is over, I will put in a good word for you in front of the prime minister and try to get you to become the shepherd of Jingzhou as soon as possible.
, to be loyal to the imperial court."
Zhang Zi bowed his head and said, "Thank you, General Niu."
Niu Fu looked back at Wubao and sighed: "If we continue to fight like this, we may not have to wait until late at night to capture Wubao. Your night attack strategy may be in vain."
Zhang Zi nodded slightly: "This saves trouble, but I think this is going to be treacherous and cunning, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to defeat. General, remember not to take it lightly."
"Hmph~~"
Niu Fu snorted lightly and said nonchalantly: "Although such an offensive is slow, the victory is steady. Once there are soldiers who get on first, they will be able to take advantage of the situation to open a hole and capture Wubao in one fell swoop."
"No matter how capable this key criminal is, his subordinates are just a motley crew with only a few hundred soldiers. How can he withstand such an offensive from our army?"
Having said this, Niu Fu's eyes were filled with fierce light, as if he had already imagined in his mind the wonderful scene of angrily killing King Hongnong with his sword.
He smiled sinisterly: "It is estimated that this fort will be destroyed in less than two hours!"
Zhang Zi didn't bother to think about it anymore and gave him a curtsy: "I hope so."
Niu Fu was full of confidence: "It must be so."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The siege continues.
The defenders of the He family mainly stabbed with spears.
The enemy troops below the city continued to attack and kill under the cover of bows and crossbows.
Although the He family was protected by a cane basket shield, under the continuous rain of arrows, many people were still killed by an arrow for showing their heads.
The enemy troops under the city took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, attacking wave after wave, leaving the defenders of the He family with only the power to parry and no ability to fight back.
Fortunately, the city wall was not long, and the two masters, Deng Zhan and Deng Zhan, led troops to help defend the city. The two sides fought fiercely for nearly half an hour, but there was still no tendency to break the city.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Cans of fire oil fell from the top of the city one after another.
Army Sima Zhang Zhen held a long bow and stretched it over the full moon. The arrowheads were wrapped in oilcloth, and the oilcloth was lit on fire.
When the pure flame danced on the arrowhead, Zhang Zhen nodded to Deng Zhan.
Deng Zhan did not hesitate and threw a can of kerosene into the air.
While it was falling in mid-air.
Whoosh!
The rocket is like a meteor, hitting the oil tank.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, the kerosene tank exploded, and sparks of fire fell on the battlefield like raindrops. The kerosene that had just been scattered, rubbed a few sparks, and a fire snake sprang up.
What is even more shocking is that the fire snakes spread quickly with lightning speed, spreading towards the shield array in an instant, and submerged most of the enemy troops under the city.
Take this opportunity.
Zhang Zhen gave an order: "Let it go~~"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Immediately.
More than ten fire oil cans were smashed from the top of the city.
The sound of flames roared loudly, and even the He family at the top of the city could feel a wave of heat coming from below the city.
Then, wailing, shouting, and wailing sounded from the city.
Although Liu Bian couldn't see it, he could feel the power of the fire attack from the voices of netizens in the live broadcast room:
"Damn it! The situation is really messed up. That guy actually threw away his shield."
"Actually, it's not that the shield is on fire, it's just that the kerosene on the shield is on fire."
"Haha! Everything is in chaos, everything is in chaos, what a bullshit camp."
"The strategy of the Military Advisor Alliance is simply out of this world. Please give it a thumbs up."
"Master Bian, fight back quickly, start now, and hit a large area at once."
"Yes, Mr. Bian, give the order quickly."
"..."
Liu Bian naturally would not miss this opportunity.
He did not hesitate and ordered sonorously:
"Zhang Sima, attack!"
Zhang Zhen nodded heavily:
"Brothers, beat me hard."
"The crossbowman fires his arrows!"
"Yaksha, Wolf Fang Pai, beat these bastards for me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of arrows roared into the sky and immediately enveloped the enemy.
The soldiers and horses below were already in chaos, and some even lost their shields, so they couldn't care about air defense.
Although there were only a hundred or ten arrows in this wave of arrow rain, the damage was much greater than usual.
In addition, Yaksha was ejected and fell to the ground with a thud, easily killing two people. The soldiers hurriedly retrieved it, killing countless enemies along the way and creating a long trench of death.
"Damn it!"
Outside Wubao, Niu Fu's expression suddenly changed, he bared his teeth in anger, and became furious: "He actually broke the formation with fire, and then used surprise troops to defeat the enemy. This thief is really not that easy to deal with."
"General~~"
Zhang Zi was also shocked.
He really couldn't believe that his own words were actually a prophecy: "What should we do? Should we withdraw our troops and fight again later?"
Niu Fu took a deep breath, his eyes widened in anger, his chin raised slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Zi: "Chief Zhang, since this plan doesn't work, I can only adopt your plan."
"The general means..."
Zhang Zi suddenly felt bad and asked tentatively.
"Tire your opponent and prepare for a night attack."
Niu Fu gritted his teeth and slowly spit out eight words.
Although his voice was low, it was sonorous and powerful.
"But......"
Before Zhang Zi could speak, Niu Fu interrupted directly: "It's nothing, it's just a small dock, and how much fuel can there be? If we continue to attack, we will definitely run out of fuel. Then it will be the perfect time to launch a general attack."
.”
"whispering sound!"
Zhang Zi chewed it secretly.
If it was Xiliang Xiaoqi who was resisting the thunder at the front, he probably wouldn't have to wait for his own advice before ordering the troops to retreat, right?
Niu Fu actually dares to treat the Wancheng defenders as scapegoats?
But......
Although Zhang Zi was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to show any displeasure on his face.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped aside with a muffled voice, and stared at the soldiers in the sea of fire, his heart bleeding.
Seeing someone retreating, Niu Fu felt worried and immediately gave a sonorous order: "Everyone rush forward for me, the general. The thieves don't have any extra fuel. This offensive will only last a moment. If we hold on, we will win a big victory!"
"Damn it!"
Niu Fu cursed secretly, galloped forward on his horse, swung the saber left and right in his palm, and poof, killed two people: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy. All of them will be charged by this general!"
"Someone is coming!"
Niu Fu shouted at the top of his lungs, put away his saber, and drew a line on the ground with his sword: "I will take this as the general standard. Anyone who crosses this line will be killed without mercy!"
Wow!
The guards stepped forward, lined up in a row, and stood with their swords pressed: "Here."
