The fire oil tank fell from the city wall, and several fire snakes sprang up from the splash of fire oil, constantly devouring the soldiers and horses under the city. The entire valley was filled with the wails and cries of the Wancheng defenders, and even the air
There is also a faint burnt smell permeating the air.
"It's really cruel."
Liu Bian's slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
Even if it were not his own soldiers and horses, such a tragic scene would not make people excited at all.
There is a sea of fire ahead, and there are swordsmen behind.
Although the Wancheng defenders felt aggrieved, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and wait for the fire to subside before attacking again.
Wave after wave of attacks were launched, only to be repulsed again and again.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
They neither retreated nor attacked.
About another quarter of an hour passed.
The fire gradually subsided, and Niu Fu's voice sounded again from the city: "The fire is gradually subsiding. It is the time for a strong attack. The fire oil in the Wubao will definitely be exhausted. You don't need to panic, continue the strong attack!"
"General, I promise!"
Niu Fu's voice was like a bell blasting: "After this battle is over, all soldiers will be rewarded. Each of them will receive ten ounces of gold. The family members of those who died will receive twenty ounces of gold as compensation."
"This is my general's personal reward and has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's reward. If you can slander or kill the key criminal, you can still get promoted and make a fortune, and honor your ancestors!"
"Push it to me!"
Niu Fu pointed his long sword into the sky: "All of you, rush forward!"
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
Youwancheng soldiers roared: "Kill~~~"
Then, a strong roar sounded from the city:
"Kill~~~"
Immediately.
The wave-like offensive was staged again.
At the top of Wubao City, Liu Bian felt the strong wind that was gradually rising.
As predicted by experts from the Military Alliance, the heating of the valley causes the ground temperature to rise, hot air to rise, and cold air to fall, creating strong convection winds in the valley.
He raised his head and stared at the sky.
However......
But there was no sign of rain.
Liu Bian was ecstatic, and his eyes fell on the surging soldiers again. He waved his hand gently: "Do it."
Army Sima Zhang Zhen nodded, and then shouted sharply: "Brothers, wear a mask!"
Everyone covered their mouths and noses with the masks they were assigned, tied them behind their heads, and immediately picked up clay pots one after another.
The contents of these clay jars were none other than the cornel powder and spicy and pungent substances prepared by Shi Zixuan.
Liu Bian also put on a mask and stared outside the city with bright eyes.
“Let it go~~~”
With Zhang Zhen giving an order.
Hundreds of cans of dogwood powder were poured down from the top of the city.
The crimson powder filled the air under the influence of the air current, filling the Wancheng defenders and the entire Wubao in an instant, and even surged towards the Xiliang Xiaoqi not far away.
"Ah sneeze~~"
"Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze~~"
"..."
In an instant, the enemy troops below the city were in chaos. Many people were choked to the point where they could not even hold their weapons, let alone their heavy shields. They all stood on the same spot, sneezing non-stop.
Take advantage of this opportunity!
Zhang Zhen ordered again: "Hit me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A rain of arrows suddenly struck from the sky.
Below the city, the garrison of Wancheng fell like wheat.
Yaksha was ejected, killing several people one after another, and crushed several more people to death when it was recovered.
Niu Fu stared, gritted his steel teeth, and shouted loudly: "Damn it, why is it like this again? Cover your mouth and nose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick mouthful of cornel powder was sucked into his mouth and nose. Niu Fu felt that his nasal cavity was extremely itchy, and he sucked it in like a conditioned reflex:
"Ah sneeze~~"
A loud sneeze came out.
Niu Fucai felt slightly better and took another mouthful of dogwood powder into his nasal cavity.
The familiar feeling of discomfort came back again, and even his eyes shed tears unsatisfactorily.
Niu Fu squinted his eyes and felt the strong wind carrying dogwood powder blowing towards him:
"Damn it, how can there be wind in the valley? Could God help this beast?"
The scene in front of them immediately made netizens in the live broadcast room burst into laughter:
"Damn it! I can't even pick up weapons, how can I still fight?"
"Hahaha! Everything can defend the city, and the golden juice hasn't been boiled for you yet."
“Let’s take a bite of the cornel powder version of PM2.5 first to try it out.”
“This sour feeling is so refreshing!”
"I almost want to sneeze."
"Haha, it's so fun."
"I bet ten dollars that Niu Fu can't hold on for more than two minutes and will definitely retreat!"
"I'll bet a hundred dollars a minute!"
"One thousand dollars, thirty seconds!"
"..."
Well......
Liu Bian was also helpless.
There are not only experts in the live broadcast room, but also many 24k pure sand sculptures.
What a god, he actually started betting on how long it would take for Niu Fu to retreat.
Are you so happy?
This is really...
Watching the excitement is not a big deal!
Just as Liu Bian was complaining about these idiot netizens, there was a clanging sound from the city.
The next second, the crowd of soldiers and horses retreated in a hurry, not even bothering to take away the bodies of their comrades on the ground.
"Wuzao! Did you see it? It really hasn't lasted more than a minute."
"It only takes fifty-three seconds from the time when the dogwood powder is sprinkled to the time when the troops retreat!"
"Damn! It's really only fifty-three seconds."
"The rhythm is astonishing, I worship it."
"This attack is awesome!"
“The Military Advisor Alliance is amazing!”
"..."
Looking at the Xiliang soldiers who were defeated like a tide.
Liu Bian let out a long sigh, and his anxious heart finally relaxed.
When this wave of wind blows over and we can organize another battle, it will probably be after noon at least.
*****
Mountain top.
Looking at the rising smoke.
Xun Yu pinched a wisp of goatee under his chin and already concluded in his mind: "Well, the soldiers and horses of Zhuanguan should indeed be transferred away, otherwise it would be impossible to have only this smoke for several days in a row."
"I am afraid......"
Xun Yu frowned and pondered for a moment: "The troops at Zhuanguan will not exceed 700, or even less."
Zhang Liaoshen on the side nodded in agreement: "Yes, if we can get closer, the judgment of the strength of the troops should be more accurate, but this is enough. Even if there are 700 people in Zhuanguan, Zhang is confident that he can capture it.
"
"Military advisor~~"
Zhang Liao asked tentatively: "Are we ready to attack? You have to make an idea."
Xun Yu thought for a long time: "The sudden decrease in the troops at Zhuanguan must be due to something big happening in Nanyang, and the one who can make Xiliang Xiaoqi so nervous must be His Highness."
"This battle..."
Xun Yu seemed to have made up his mind and said loudly: "Fight! Zhuanguan is where the Xiliang camp is. As long as we start a war here, we will definitely reduce the pressure on His Highness's side."
"only......"
Xun Yu paused and hesitated again.
"how?"
Zhang Liao frowned and asked curiously: "Is the military advisor still hesitating?"
Xun Yu breathed out: "Once we start fighting, we will definitely be exposed. If Niu Fu asks Dong Zhuo for help, our future will be difficult. I am not sure what His Highness means."
Although Xun Yu knew that the world was about to be in chaos, he did not have an accurate time, so he did not dare to act rashly.
But now, Liu Bian is in danger in Nanyang. If he doesn't move, the consequences will be disastrous.
But once these soldiers and horses take action, their traces will be completely exposed. If Dong Zhuo's crazy revenge is triggered, the capital that King Hongnong finally accumulated will be completely destroyed.
"Oh~~"
But Zhang Liao couldn't care so much and hurriedly admonished: "Commander, we will discuss the future matters later. The most important thing now is to save His Highness's life. Please give the order as soon as possible."
Xun Yu naturally understood this truth and nodded: "Okay, general, go back quickly and prepare for war. Prepare to attack Zhuanguan in the afternoon. Remember to do your best from the beginning to force Zhuanguan to warn you."
