Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 268

"Great!"

"Finally it's my turn!"

Before Wang Mi could finish speaking, Liu Yu had already jumped off the horse, and Tan Pingzhi followed closely behind him.

He didn't care why Wang Mi changed his tactics, as long as he could do things, it would be the best!

In less than a moment, the Lingyun Ladder rose quickly, and the soldiers who were best at climbing among the Beifu soldiers were all in place, waiting for Liu Yu's entire team to climb the city.

On the other hand, Wang Mi was not idle either.

Although he was a little negligent in this wave of defense, it was mainly because the rocket shot was so cool that he confiscated it for a while, giving Qin Jun a chance to fight back.

But now, Wang Mi has realized the loopholes in defense, and there is not much time left for Di Qin!
Different from the well-stocked defenders of Xiangyang City, the Beifu Army led by Wang Mi was a spearhead after all. Apart from the necessary offensive weapons, they did not carry too many other miscellaneous items.

The so-called sundries needed on the battlefield are generally of the following types, such as flints used for ignition, and white cloths used by soldiers for dressing.

Mainly because they set off from Desheng Fort, which is very close to Xiangyang City, where food and weapons are available.

In order to be able to go into battle lightly and quickly attack Xiangyang City, before leaving, Wang Mi specially dropped some of the defensive equipment that was not so important on the battlefield in his view at Desheng Fort.

After all, tonight was key for the team he was leading.

As long as it can survive tonight, when the army of Beifu led by Xie Xuan arrives, there is no need to worry about everything.

But if you can't make it through tonight, no matter how complete your equipment is, it won't help.

However, it now appears that such an idea is still underestimated.

Faced with the rockets that Di Qin shot down from top to bottom, the shield formation was obviously no longer useful. Many shield players were devastated because they were hit by the arrows and could no longer support them.

Obviously, in the face of Di Qin's powerful offensive, the Beifu soldiers needed better means of protection, otherwise it would take time for them to attack the city only by Jinu.

If it goes on like this, the Beifu soldiers will almost run naked in front of the Diqin army in Xiangyang, and let people be hit as live targets!
But what precautions can be taken?

Looking at the few defensive equipment, shields, and chariots, they can hardly play a big role in front of the Rocket Array.

This is how to do?
"Secretary Wang, do you want to try this!"

Just when Secretary Wang was at a loss, Zeng Gui, the owner of the Fortress of Victory who followed Wang Mi on the expedition, strode forward and handed him a cloth bag.

Wang Mi opened it and found that the cloth bag contained some clothes.

The shape is very simple, probably similar to the shrouds worn by the ancients, with only a shawl on the shoulders and a drawstring at the neck.

"what is this?"

Wang Mi carefully searched his memory and found that he didn't know this rare item at all.

Zeng Gui said solemnly, "Secretary Wang, this is a jacket made of fire cloth, which is fireproof!"

Wang Mi was shocked: "You mean, this is asbestos cloth?"

Zeng Gui didn't understand what asbestos cloth was, but he only knew that it was fireproof, and the more it burned, the cleaner it became. It was a rare artifact.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a creature called a fire rat in the fairy mountain, which was never easily shown to others.The body is as big as a cow, and the hair is extremely white, as delicate and smooth as ice silk.

It can roll in the fire without worrying about being burned to death. It is neither afraid of fire nor water. The cloth woven from its fur is called fire cloth.

Fireproof and waterproof, it is the only magic weapon to protect the safety of soldiers on the battlefield.However, because in ancient times, this natural material that existed widely in nature was endowed with a mythological color, it was generally believed that fire raccoon was made of fire rat fur, and it was very difficult to obtain, so it was not widely promoted.

Even for a regular army like Beifu soldiers, it is something to be discussed whether or not there are Huohuan cloths in the reserve!
No matter what kind of cloth it is, it is real to equip the archers quickly.

According to Wang Mi's instructions, the first batch of fire clothes were distributed to the archers who were the strongest and most vulnerable to enemy rocket attacks.

Zeng Gui led the fortresses to put fire clothes on the archers themselves to help them quickly complete the equipment.

Whoosh whoosh!
Just when Zeng Gui helped the last few archers put on fire coats and were about to leave, the rockets from the Xiangyang City Tower were wrapped in a gust of wind and whistled!

Duo sound!
A flaming arrow passed through the shield formation of the soldiers in the front row, quickly found the target, brushed over the shoulder of the rocketeer, and immediately landed.

There were originally a few wisps of hay on the ground, but as soon as it encountered the sparks, it suddenly burned violently.

So hung up!
The Rocketman, who was unfortunately swept away, patted the fire coat on his shoulders, and a few sporadic fire spots were shaken off.

Looking at the fire coat, it was still clean and there was no trace of burning.

"Captain Zeng, this thing was delivered just in time!"

"It's a life-saving artifact!"

The soldiers were full of praise for the Huohuan cloth, and Wang Mi was the most satisfied.

"I really didn't expect that Team Leader Zeng would carry such a fetish. If it wasn't for you today, the Beifu soldiers would suffer a big loss!"

With Huo Huanyi and bodyguards in front, the Beifu archers have greatly increased their combat effectiveness. The 500-man team that was briefly divided with Liu Yu and the others is now quickly replenished.

Finally, the vacancy of the shield player and the archer was blocked.

The Beifu soldier, who was wearing a fire coat, shot an arrow with a bow, and aimed at the Xiangyang City Tower again.

And this time, Di Qin's rocket couldn't do anything to them!

"What time is it now?"

Seeing that the Beifu soldiers suffered more and more battle losses, Wang Mi was most worried about this matter.

The Beifu reinforcements are still missing. He wants to make time go faster and slower.

He Mai looked at the hourglass placed next to the chariot and sighed: "It's already ugly."

Ugly at the beginning of the hour, that is to say, it is at least past one o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, the night can also provide them with protection for a while.

Wang Mi was a little relieved, but that kind of heavy worry still surrounds him...

…………

On the other hand, another team of valiant generals from Beifu has also approached Xiangyang City.

Compared with the archers who can only attack from a long distance, what they will bring to Di Qin's army will be the deadliest blow!

"Slave, where do we go to the city?"

The soldiers responsible for erecting the ladder were all in place, waiting for Liu Yu to speak.

The Di Qin soldiers in the city were very closely guarded, and their offensive was quite fierce. Before deciding on specific tactics, they could not easily set up the Lingyun Ladder.

So as not to be damaged by the Di Qin defenders.

Liu Yu squatted under the Xiangyang city tower, relying on the protection of the shield array in front, and was observing the enemy situation on the city tower.

No matter from which point of view, the traditional method of siege is to face the city as the main way.

The soldiers relied on the Lingyun Ladder and some ropes to climb up the city wall. During the climbing period, they also had to guard against the heavy attacks from the enemy troops on the city tower.

There were also limited means of protection in ancient times, so that many soldiers were killed or wounded at this stage of climbing the city.
