But soldiers with slightly weaker strength were not so lucky.
The huge rolling stone hit the shield. The soldier who could not catch the rolling stone was thrown down with his shield, and a series of soldiers behind him were all taken down.
"boom!"
The soldiers below also suffered.
His brains were split open after being hit directly.
But soon, new soldiers rushed up the ladder, holding shields in their hands, and climbed up to the top of the city one after another.
In addition, the siege chariot not far away was slowly pushed over and slowly moved towards the city gate on the side.
"Artillery! Aim at those siege engines!"
Of course Wu Yan saw the engineering vehicle not far away. At this time, his face became extremely serious and he shouted loudly to the surrounding soldiers who were responsible for firing.
Soon, several artillery fires on this city wall were aimed at the siege tanks.
"Boom boom boom!"
A volley of artillery shells was fired but failed to hit.
"continue!"
The gunpowder continued to be filled, and another volley was fired.
Finally, a cannonball hit the siege vehicle hard, blowing it open!
But on top of the city wall, there were still densely packed soldiers who quickly climbed up the city wall.
"Fierce oil!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Wu Di knew that he could no longer save it!
If the Qing army really attacks the city, there won't be many soldiers on the city who can really fight!
Soon, the soldiers nearby quickly pushed out the fire oil and sprinkled it towards the ladder.
"No! It's fierce fire oil!"
These soldiers had already suffered a loss from the fierce fire in Guan County, and now this thing appeared again. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces, and they were about to turn around and run away.
"ignition!"
How could the Ming army let them escape so easily?
He lit the fire oil directly along the ladder.
The speed of the flames was far faster than the speed at which these people could run.
Soon, those who were stained with the fire oil were instantly ignited by the gunpowder, and in order to seek a way out, they jumped into the moat one after another.
Soon, the moat was like dumplings being dropped. On top of the city wall, people were constantly throwing rolling stones and logs into the moat, and shooting.
A lot of people were killed in a short time, but the Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to survive crawled out of the moat and ran back.
Hong Chengchou looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.
Duduo's expression on the side was not very good.
"Hmph! I didn't expect Liaocheng's resistance to be so strong!"
As he said that, Duduo looked at Hong Chengchou who was standing aside.
"General Hong, according to our previous analysis, the food in Guan County is enough for us to eat for half a month at most, and the Ming army's support will definitely arrive within three days!
If we cannot capture Liaocheng within three days... then our situation will become very passive!"
"I know!"
Hong Chengchou nodded.
"However, the wave of attacks just now proved that there is indeed no strong defensive force in Liaocheng!"
As he spoke, Hong Chengchou raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Duduo in front of him with a faint smile in his eyes.
Duduo was stunned for a moment. He looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't know why Hong Chengchou was so sure about his actions just now.
Just now it became clear......
Seeing the confusion in Duduo's eyes, Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, looked at Duduo in front of him and said: "It's very simple, we just attacked the city, and although we were fierce, we didn't use all our strength to press on.
But before our soldiers could rush to the top of the city, Wu Di on the city wall couldn't help but release fierce fire oil, which proved that the defense force in the city was very weak!"
Duduo still looked at the confusion in front of him with some confusion.
Hong Chengchou patiently explained to Duduo.
"It's a very simple truth. Fierce fire oil is an important resource for defending the city. I guess in Liaocheng, the quantity of fierce fire oil will never be large. Generally speaking, this kind of thing should be reserved for later use.
In that case, the lethality would be great enough. But right now, our men were just about to rush to the city. Wu Di couldn't help it anymore and directly poured fire oil on it. Why?? Because they were afraid that our Qing army would attack the city!
It is enough to prove that there are not many real soldiers on their city walls, many of them are militiamen who have just been recruited to make up the numbers! Some are even ordinary young men!"
A strange smile flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes.
"Then it's easy! We just need to use human lives to consume their fierce fire oil! And now they are so anxious to pour fierce fire oil on us, they definitely don't have much fierce fire oil! Just use up their fierce fire oil.
Our soldiers rushed to the city, and the battle was decided!"
Hong Chengchou said firmly to Duduo who was standing aside.
Duduo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, okay! Quick, quick, quick! Keep attacking the city! Keep attacking the city!"
Duduo shouted directly to the surrounding soldiers.
On the city wall.
Wu Di frowned tightly as he looked at the Qing troops coming in force again.
"Quartermaster, how much fire oil do we have?"
Wu Dichao asked the quartermaster on the side.
"Let me report to Mr. Wu Ge, we only have over a thousand kilograms of fierce fire oil left..."
The quartermaster hesitated for a moment and looked at Wu Di in front of him.
After hearing the quartermaster's words, Wu Di frowned tightly, his eyes changing.
After a while, Wu Di said to the quartermaster in front of him: "In this case, you will have people go to the city immediately to buy a thousand kilograms of rapeseed oil, mix it with the fierce fire oil, and then mix a little gunpowder in it!"
Hearing Wu Di's words, the quartermaster was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at Wu Di in front of him again.
"Watch what I do?? Do it quickly!"
Wu Di said angrily to the quartermaster in front of him.
"Yes yes yes!"
The quartermaster nodded quickly and bowed his head.
Looking at the quartermaster's back, Wu Di frowned tightly. Even so, the fierce fire oil was still not enough!
It will take at least three days!
Even if the news has been sent in a hurry for eight hundred miles, if the reinforcements want to reach Liaocheng, even the nearest reinforcements will have to march for at least one or two days to reach Liaocheng!
Therefore, I have to hold on for at least three days!
Fortunately, although there is too little fire oil in the city, there is still a lot of gunpowder. This gunpowder was originally going to be transported to the front line.
So I hoarded a lot of them in Liaocheng, but I didn’t expect that they would come in handy at this time!
"There's no need to save gunpowder! Blow it up hard for me!"
There was a lot of gunpowder accumulated on the top of the city wall. After the soldiers lit the fuse, they smashed the gunpowder bags in their hands against the city wall.
"boom!"
"boom!"
With huge shock waves, the surrounding Qing soldiers were blown away.
