Although thick shields and heavy shields can block wooden and rolling stones, they cannot block solid and invisible fluids. As long as the human skin is touched by the boiling water of war, a large fire cannon will immediately appear, which will quickly fester and ooze pus, eating the flesh and rotting the bones.
Until the white bones are exposed.
If the hands and feet are burned, you can ask your companions to cut off the limbs with a knife or ax in time to save your life. But once the body and head are touched even a little bit, even the gods can't save them. It is extremely vicious.
The defenders on the city poured boiling water on them, instantly scalding them to death and injuring countless barbarian soldiers. Those who had climbed up the ladders also screamed and fell down. The troops that rushed to the city were also confused, and those who died under the water were also thrown down.
There were countless people, and the large group of people had to retreat. The defenders of Wancheng took the opportunity to bombard the city with bows and arrows, leaving a large number of corpses of the barbarians.
At this time, as the barbarian army retreated, the fighting at the south gate temporarily stopped. The soldiers at the south gate who had just taken a breath heard fierce fighting sounds coming from the east and west sides.
Lu Jun asked loudly: "Father, why are there so many barbarians here suddenly? Are there any in the east or west gate..."
Lu Kang waved his hand and pondered for a moment, listened for a long time, pointed to the front and said loudly: "It should be Zheng Bao who has arrived. The barbarian has received reinforcements. This guy didn't even go through the main entrance. He is a rat hiding his head and tail. Jun'er, please continue.
Supervise the battle here, and all soldiers in the city will change their defenses."
Following Lu Kang's order, the soldiers on the southern city began to take action. The soldiers who had been guarding the city for a whole day were replaced by another 2,000 soldiers who had been waiting below the city. They were removed from the city to rest.
Cao Zhi once again had to admire Lu Kang's management ability. Being able to reasonably, fully and maximize the use of the resources at hand is an effective way to reflect the level of a leader's talents. Cao Zhi also understood why Lu Kang he had seen before
The reason why Kang always left some of his troops unused.
"Captain Cao, please go to the east city and have a look. We can't lose sight of one thing. I'm going to the west city. Oh! If the military situation at the east gate is not urgent, transfer some of your people to the west city to defend the city immediately." Suddenly, Lu Kang spoke with dignity.
It rang in Cao Zhi's ears again.
"Okay!" Cao Zhi agreed, turned around and ran down the city. At this time, Lu Jun led more than 2,000 soldiers to the city. They were dispersed to various parts of the city wall under the command of a famous captain and corps commander. These soldiers were all trained
With proper discipline and no sign of panic, he entered his combat position in an orderly manner, waiting for the next round of barbarian attack.
Cao Zhi led Xu Zhu, Cao An and more than a dozen personal guards to run down the city tower in a hurry. At this time, the streets were empty. As expected, the people stayed at home and did not dare to run around under the scoldings of the government officials. They had just reached the intersection.
Cao Zhi saw Li Dian leading more than a dozen soldiers and driving three carriages hurriedly approaching.
Cao Zhi hurriedly stopped and said loudly: "Li Dian, why are you here?"
Li Dian was also very happy when he saw Cao Zhi. He rode over and shouted, "Brother Xiahou, I can't worry about you. I just heard that you used explosives. I'm afraid you won't be able to use them enough. Please ask me to send more."
Cao Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He remembered the power and miraculous effect of the explosives just now. The barbarian army used human sea tactics and large swords and spears. Can it compete with modern weapons? He didn't expect that Li Dian sent it so timely. With this kind of thing, he could be regarded as a scholar.
It's easy for one person to defend a city wall, and I can't help but be excited to do it.
Happy to be happy, but not to forget about business, Cao Zhi left explosives and landmines, and told Li Dian: "The barbarians below the city are scattered to attack the city. The defenders of the west city may not have enough manpower. Lu Kang asked us to send troops to the city to help defend. Please go back quickly.
Bring five hundred soldiers to the West City for reinforcements, and I will go to the East City first."
Li Dian answered the call and rode back. Cao Zhi led the remaining people and the three carts of explosives they had sent, and sped towards the east gate.
When he passed by a collapsed house on the way, Cao Zhi was shocked. What was going on? He didn't see any long-range attack weapons on the barbarian army! This was when the two armies were at war, and no one organized a rescue, so he was crushed.
The people under the ruins fend for themselves.
Cao Zhi finally caught a passing policeman, and after asking, he suddenly realized that the culprit was actually his own explosives. Cao Zhi couldn't help but look at the three trucks of explosives that had just been delivered and wondered whether to use them or not.
Yes, due to resonance or the structure of ancient houses, Cao Zhi cannot guarantee that the people in the city will no longer be affected. No, what should I do if the barbarian army cannot be stopped? Any damage to the city will cause fatal damage to Wancheng.
Based on Cao Zhi's observation just now, the barbarian army under the city had already been enraged. After the city was defeated, Cao Zhi did not dare to hope that the barbarian army would not make crazy moves to massacre the city. Besides, there was now another Zheng Bao.
No matter what, let’s go to the East City first. Cao Zhi climbed to the top of the city and saw that the barbarians in the East City had retreated outside the three arrows and were preparing for the next round of attacks. It seemed that the East City had also repelled an enemy attack just now.
Attack. The east city is located between two mountain gorges and belongs to a mountain gate, which is not conducive to the massing of the army for attack, especially the cavalry. However, it also has its own characteristics. The infantry only needs to climb one or two commanding heights in the mountains in front of the city gate to attack like a sniper.
A cold arrow was fired suddenly, making people unprepared. At this time, the barbarian soldiers outside the east gate were also gathering towards the place where the arrow was shot. There were more than 3,000 people in total.
The Sima guarding the east gate was named Yu. Cao Zhi had long known from a familiar sergeant that this man was born a water thief. He was good at martial arts and a very righteous man, so he was elected as the leader by the thieves who came to join Lu Kang at the same time. Lu Kang
At the beginning of Kang Dynasty, he was given the title of captain. In the following years with Lu Kang, he worked hard to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, and he was promoted to the rank of Sima after accumulating military merit.
Cao Zhi asked for his spear from Cao An and looked at the situation below the city as he walked. Cao An stood beside him and watched carefully.
When Yu Sima of Dongcheng saw Cao Zhi coming, he hurriedly ran over to salute. Cao Zhi, the captain of the state capital, was not one or two levels older than him.
"For a humble position, please see Cao Duwei."
After Cao Zhi went to the city, he had been paying attention to the people below the city and did not pay attention to him. At this moment, he suddenly saw someone coming forward to pay homage. Cao Zhi couldn't help but take a few more looks at this Sima. Although this Sima named Yu was short in stature, he had a certain personality.
With his sassy and heroic appearance, Li Sheng couldn't help but feel good about it and said, "Oh! Yu Sima, I'm sorry, what's going on?"
Na Yu Sima Gang stood up straight, raised his hands and reported: "I just refused to retreat from the enemy..."
While Sima Yu was speaking, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from behind the arrow stack on his right side, and with a "pounce" sound, it penetrated Yu Sima's neck.
Before Yu Sima could finish speaking, he arrived in response. At the same time, a sound of gongs and drums sounded from the tower, "The barbarians are attacking the city again..."
Cao An reacted surprisingly quickly. When he saw a cold arrow coming, he immediately pounced on Cao Zhi. Because Cao Zhi was stronger than him, he was not knocked down by him, but he also pushed Cao Zhi and staggered.
