"Fire arrows!"

Several rockets shot past.

Immediately, the banging log was ignited.

Then there was a more violent bang, the fire ignited in all directions, and all the Goguryeo people who were splashed with fish oil were all ignited, and at once a hundred or so Goguryeo people let out a miserable cry.

The other Goguryeos were so frightened that they ran away in a hurry.

The attack on the city gate temporarily stopped.

"Intensify, continue to attack the city, don't stop!"

Goguryeo King Yiimo saw that the soldiers who had crashed into the city gate were either burned to death or scattered by the fire, and his face was very unhappy.

At the moment, a Goguryeo general went to supervise the battle, and more shield soldiers raised their shields and came to the city. Many Goguryeo people carried the sand forward with buckets from behind, and then fell towards the city cave.

Sandy soil is more conducive to extinguishing the fire ignited by oil, but splashing water will have no effect. On the contrary, too little water will have the opposite effect of supporting combustion.

"Come here with the bed crossbow!"

There are too many Goguryeo people gathered under the city, especially the bow and shield soldiers, which accounted for almost two-thirds, densely packed with these two types of soldiers.

So Cheng Yu had no choice but to use another weapon to defend the city.

Bed Crossbow!

To be precise, it was an old-fashioned bed crossbow, not Huang Yueying's improved one.

There are actually craftsmen who make crossbows in all states and counties of the Han Dynasty, so it is not uncommon to make bed crossbows.

It's just that in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there were basically few wars before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so these city defense equipment were generally concentrated in border counties and cities.

There were originally Huanghai County, but they were all taken over by Yuan Yin, and later moved to Hanjiang City. At this time, in Hanjiang City, Yuan Yin later built countless frames in order to defend the city.

The ones currently used by the Han army were remade by craftsmen after Cheng Yu arrived.

So these are the old-style bed crossbows of the Han Dynasty, not the improved ones with stainless steel and springs added.

Chapter 322 Catapult First Wipe (Two in One)

At this time, several bed crossbows on the city were pushed to the crenel of the wall, and then long and large crossbow arrows were placed.

"put!"

Get ready, the operators of each bed crossbow shoot by themselves.

The finger-thick crossbow strings popped out, and the large crossbow arrows, which were slightly shorter than the spear, shot down the city with a low sound.

"Oh!"

Immediately, these crossbow arrows shot into the Goguryeo archers city below the city.

The crossbow arrows either directly hit the archers, the spear head penetrated through, shot two people at once, and knocked down one of them.

Either it hit the shield soldier's shield, the huge impact force directly knocked the shield soldier down, and also took a small piece of it.

Of course, there were arrows and crossbows hitting the shield. When the shield was outside, the arrows and crossbows shot into the Goguryeo soldiers hiding inside.

"Playing..."

The power of the bed crossbow is extremely great, especially its deterrent power.

The Goguryeo soldiers below the city saw the crossbow arrows coming, and they were so frightened that they crouched on the ground to avoid it.

"Bed crossbow! Good stuff!"

Although the bed crossbows of the Han army dealt a considerable blow to Goguryeo's siege soldiers, it was not enough to shake Goguryeo and force Goguryeo to retreat, or to make Goguryeo's generals shrink back and withdraw their troops.

So in Yiimo's eyes, it was full of fiery light.

As long as Seoul is captured, such a good thing will belong to their big Goguryeo.

"Your Majesty, the city gates are urgent!"

In just half an hour, there was a bloody battle above and below the city, corpses kept lying around, blood flowed like rivers, the battle was very fierce, the other three began to ask Cheng Yu for help.

"Tell them that there are no reinforcements, and continue to hold firmly. It's only half an hour. Use all means for me to hold on until dark, and the enemy will not attack after dark. If we hold today, we will win tomorrow."

For the reinforcements, where did they come from in the city, Cheng Yu could only resolutely reply to the other three sects.

There are 4000 people in each school, and they have to guard for one day no matter what.

If you can't hold it for a day, it's too weak.

If it was Donglai's background, Cheng Yu believed that no one would come to complain to him even if he fought for a day.

The old part of the Yellow Turban is really fragile, and the concerns of the protagonist and everyone are correct.

If you want to get the title of Donglai, you must go through a big battle to eliminate them and train a strong army. Only then can the old Yellow Turbans truly grow out of their bones.

The Yellow Turban Army is 4 strong. If it is a normal reorganization, no matter how it is done, it will eventually retain [-] to [-] people. According to Donglai's organization, this is six or seven captains.

The promoted generals directly accounted for half of the officer quota.

One of these people: They don't have strong personal martial arts, at most they can be regarded as second-rate or third-rate in Donglai, and they are barely okay as lieutenants.

Two: They do not have the ability to truly command the troops, and generally lack cultural knowledge. This is not in line with the purpose of a strong army in Dongnae in the future.

Therefore, instead of making Donglai stronger, these people will not handle it properly, which will make them feel resentful and bring down Donglai's atmosphere.

This was also one of the reasons why Xu Ding hadn't dealt with them.

After all, if it is not handled properly, it will bury hidden dangers for the future growth of Donglai.

The first generation of generals may generally be of the brave type, but with the advancement of technology in the future, the comprehensive type will occupy the mainstream.

Thinking of these, Cheng Yu thought of Xu Ding again.

Probably the letter was sent to Weiyuan Island, or to Donglai.

After receiving the letter, Xu Ding will definitely bring troops over to support him.

So before the reinforcements arrived, he had to defend the city.

This is not only related to the people in Seoul and his own personal safety, but also to the safety of Zhang Ning and others in Old Jinquan City, as well as the safety of Man Chong and others in Hanze City.

Because Cheng Yu knows very well that the enemy mainly wants to eat Seoul now, and may attack other cities, but the main thing is to siege. Once Seoul falls, it will be a blow to the morale of the Han army in other cities. At the same time, the enemy can also Send more troops against the other cities.
