At the time of the prescribed time, the Yuan army obviously showed no sign of surrender. The Yuan army above the city wall was actively preparing for war, and the Cao army under the city was obviously not idle either. During this time, the Cao army was also preparing for the siege.
Yecheng is definitely a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The towering walls and wide moat are daunting. However, Zhao Fei is not in a hurry to attack the city. Now the entire Hebei no longer has the strength to fight against Cao's army, as long as his own army is
After surrounding Yuan Shang, could he still be afraid that he would run away?
Moreover, the Yuan army is obviously very morale now, and it is definitely a thankless thing for Zhao Fei to order people to attack Yecheng. Cao army has ashamed catapults, and these catapults are enough to make Yuan army on the city wall suffer.
Zhao Fei had never used these catapults when attacking Li Yang. First, it was because Zhao Fei wanted to hide his strength, and second, it was because it was too easy to conquer Li Yang City, and no one gave him such a chance.
Now it is finally time for these counterweight catapults to show their power. After the improvement of skilled craftsmen, the power of Cao Jun's counterweight catapults has obviously increased a little. This is Zhao Fei's reliance. Even though Yuan Jun huddled in the turtle shell, Zhao
They can't feel uncomfortable if they fly.
On this day, Zhao Fei issued an ultimatum to Yuan's army in Yecheng. If Yuan's army and Zhen Ji were unable to defend and refused to surrender, Cao's army would launch a strong attack on Yuan's army in Yecheng. However, for Zhao Fei's words, it was obvious that Jingwei's eyes were evident.
He didn't take it seriously. The Yuan army in the city was prepared for a long time, so he was preparing for Cao's army to attack the city.
Without getting a satisfactory reply, the Cao army left the camp and set up a formation, showing that he wanted to attack Yecheng with loneliness and never talked about love at all times. However, the Yuan army soldiers on the Yecheng walls waited for a long time, but they did not hear Cao's attack.
The horn of charge.
Yuan's soldiers were quite puzzled about this. Cao's army under the city had already set up their formation, but why did they not attack until now?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Cao's counterweight catapult cart was finally set up. One counterweight catapult cart after another was striking, looking murderous. Countless Cao's soldiers were transporting stones to the catapult cart
Now all the catapults are ready. Just by waiting for Zhao Fei to give his order, dozens of huge rocks will soar into the sky and head straight for Yecheng.
Zhao Fei looked at the square array of catapults that had been fully prepared, then waved his hand and ordered all catapults to start looking through.
With Zhao Fei's order, the catapult cart in the catapult cart attacked Yecheng. One huge rock after another was thrown into the sky by the catapult cart. They roared and headed towards Ye with an unmatched power of ordinary people.
The city walls fly away.
A loud thud of thunder, a huge rock hit the city wall, and the huge impact made people feel quite shocking. Although the huge rock hit the city wall of Yecheng, the Yuan army soldiers
But I felt like the huge rock hitting my chest, and the depressed people didn't know what to say.
Perhaps, the Yuan army soldiers had no chance to speak at all. A huge rock roared and hit the wall of Yecheng. Of course, not all the huge rocks hit the wall, and many huge rocks roared and hit the wall.
The Yuan army soldiers on the city wall.
The huge rock was obviously not something that humans could resist and fight against each other. A huge rock hit the man and immediately turned the Yuan army into a meat pie. Blood suddenly splattered everywhere, making everyone stunned and didn't know what to do. Obviously, Yuan army
The soldiers did not expect that they were facing such a situation.
At this moment, the tall city walls could not bring people a sense of security at all. One huge rock after another destroyed all the hopes of Yuan army soldiers. The huge rocks roared and continued to divide them towards the walls of Yecheng.
After a huge rock attack, most of the Yuan army soldiers were already in fear. Even if they could hide behind the city wall, Cao's scattering machine was so sharp, how could the city wall be able to defend against Cao's army's fierce attack?
A huge rock threw a round, and Zhao Fei smiled a little. This round was just a test of the waters, and the next was the most feared time for Yuan Jun. When he was in Xuchang, Zhao Fei was not idle.
He had known for a long time that Yecheng was definitely a difficult bone to crack. In order to conquer Yecheng, Zhao Fei made sufficient preparations. In addition to improving the range of the catapult, Zhao Fei also invented a kind of incendiary bomb.
Place the turmeric oil in the container and then use a cotton cloth as the lead wire. Ignite the lead wire and then throw it with a trencher. After the container breaks, the turmeric oil will be ignited by the lead wire, which will cause huge damage in a very short time.
force.
"Change the incendiary bomb!" Zhao Fei ordered the personal soldiers beside him in a deep voice. Although the incendiary bomb is still in the test stage, the experimental effect is surprisingly good. Therefore, when he went to the battle, Zhao Fei ordered people to prepare a lot of burning.
bomb.
Hearing Zhao Fei's orders, the soldiers moved the loaded boulders one after another and replaced them with the incendiary bombs ordered by Zhao Fei.
"Reloading is completed!" After loading the incendiary bombs, all the soldiers responsible for loading reported. Each catapult has a different division of labor, some are responsible for loading, some are responsible for transporting ammunition, and some are responsible for launching.
"Light!" The general of Cao's army roared loudly. The soldiers' movements were neat and uniform, and everyone lit the leads one after another, and then as the general roared, dozens of incendiary bombs roared towards Yecheng, stolen by fire.
.
I thought it was a huge rock soaring into the sky, but the situation this time was obviously different. Things that were emitting fire were thrown by the enemy, which surprised the Yuan army and didn't know what the hell was doing.
But then they knew that one by one, the turbulent oil tanks rushed over with flames. As the incendiary bombs broke, the turbulent oil splashed out everywhere, and then ignited by the open flame on the lead, which instantly aroused a large area of
Fire.
The soldiers of Yuan army obviously did not expect that Cao army had such a killing weapon. The incendiary bombs attracted countless fires. Suoran some of the tincture oil was not lit, but the incendiary bombs hit the soldiers and obviously also took human life. The Nile's favorite
.
The incendiary bomb was only dropped two rounds, and the entire Yecheng city wall was trapped in the flames.
Seeing this situation, Shen Pei obviously didn't know what to say. The city defense equipment he carefully prepared seemed to have no effect at all. Cao's scattering machine destroyed everything and also destroyed the hope of victory for Yuan's soldiers.
One huge rock after another, one incendiary bomb, Yuan's army had no defense measures at all. Fortunately, Cao's army did not launch an attack at this time, otherwise, Cao's army would have taken down the walls of Yecheng.
Zhao Fei was obviously extremely satisfied with the actual performance of the incendiary bomb. He asked the catapult to throw a few rounds, and then Zhao Fei ordered the defenders to do so. No matter when, the siege was the key to determining the victory of a battle.
.
Seeing Yuan’s army trembling behind the towering city wall, Zhao Fei felt a sense of sincerity. Yuan’s army was an opponent of Cao’s army. No matter how difficult Yecheng was to conquer, he could still be conquered in front of the powerful Cao army.
Today's battle made Shen Pei and everyone in Yecheng know that the combat power of Cao's army and Yuan's army was obviously a world of difference. Yuan Shang envied Cao's army's powerful weapon for siege, but no matter how envious he was, he obviously had no way to target Cao's army's catapult.
The only way is to lead troops out of the city and attack Cao's army's scattering machine. If the situation goes well, Yuan's army may be able to solve the threat of scattering machine. But it is not easy to attack Cao's position.
Zhao Fei obviously knew the power of the catapult. In order to protect the catapult, Zhao Fei absolutely arranged the most elite troops of the Cao army to focus on protecting the catapult formation.
When Yuan Shao was in the limelight, he could not start a positional battle with the Cao army one-on-one and break into the Cao army's camp. Now, with these temporary troops, they wanted to break into the Cao army's heavy defenses, and then burn the catapult cart, which was obviously a dream.
.
"If this disaster is not eliminated, how can our army defend Yecheng!" Looking at the catapult under the city, looking at the messy appearance of the soldiers on the Yecheng city wall, Yuan Shang glared at all the Yuan army generals and asked.
There were not many guards in Yecheng. Even though there were many guards in Yecheng supplemented by the gentry, the number of guards in Yecheng was similar to that of Cao's army at best, and there were only 40,000 to 50,000 people.
There are indeed many people who help defend the city, but it is obviously impossible to count on how much combat effectiveness they have. People are the people, and when they really get on the battlefield, they can only be slaughtered.
Everyone fell silent when they heard Yuan Shang's roar. Everyone knew that today's attack was just an experiment of Cao's army. Cao's army had no movement at all, but just let the catapult throw a few rounds. But that's it, Yuan Jun
He had already suffered heavy casualties.
Although Cao's army has withdrawn, it is conceivable that the attack of Cao's army will definitely be even more fierce tomorrow. Today, in order to send one army and one soldier, if Cao's army sends a large army tomorrow, how should the Yuan army on the city wall respond to the fierce momentum of Cao's army.
Looking at the silent people, Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but sink. At this time, he regretted that he would definitely bet on the verge of fighting against Cao's army. If he had chosen to abandon the city and surrender that day, he would probably not be as desperate as he is today.
Cao's catapults shattered many people's hope of victory, and of course even Yuan Shang was no exception.
Yuan Shang's changes were obviously seen by Shen Pei. He stared at the outside of the walls of Yecheng City. Cao Jun's scattering machine formation could not help but show a little hideous look. At this time, he had an impulse in his heart, which was to do whatever he wanted.
Destroy those trenchers.
But Shen Pei knew that he should not have such an idea, and just rushed out of the city rashly was absolutely no different from dying. There was already insufficient guards in Yecheng, so how could he withstand such waste from everyone?
But did you really do nothing and let Cao's army's catapult be so arrogant. Shen Pei was confused. He was smart and obviously realized that the war had entered a deadlock. Cao's army's powerful weapons made him a little stunned, probably for a while
It was difficult to come back to his senses even if he met. Staring at the trencher he became, Shen Pei fell into deep thought.
