Dajin royal family

Chapter 143 Fire Attack
Seeing that the stones could no longer withstand the Turkic offensive, Zhao Jiao ran to Jiang Chengxiao's side with arrows all over the sky, and hurriedly urged: "General, the enemy is not afraid of death. The offensive is too fierce. We can't hold out for long. You Get out first!"

There was the sound of arrows clanging on the shield, and the impact force not only rushed out of his body, but also hit his heart.Jiang Chengxiao said loudly: "I will do what I say, the enemy will not retreat, and I will not retreat!" If he escapes from the top of the city at this time, it will not take half an hour, Lou Fanguan will be broken.

Zhao Jiao looked at the unyielding expression between his brows and eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart that this hussar general had a heart as cold as iron, and he immediately persuaded again: "General, now we don't have many means to prevent the Turks from attacking the city. If you don't retreat, everyone will die here!"

"Retreat, general, the brothers can't resist it anymore!" The soldiers persuaded from the side.This general has done enough. He may not have the strength to restrain a chicken, but his character can definitely be called "perseverance". The old soldiers who fought against the enemy all saw it.

Zu Yan still turned his back to him, blocking in front of him, and set up two iron shields with both hands, protecting his body tightly behind him.He did not persuade the master, if the master is determined to bury the bones here, Zu Yan will follow.

"No, we have another way!" Jiang Chengxiao stabilized his mind, staring at Zhao Jiao, his eyes filled with inexplicable confidence.This self-confidence made Zhao Jiao startled, he didn't understand how else he could repel this enemy army.

"Command, fire attack!"

At this time, Sha Bo Duo had already rushed to the distance of about [-] steps outside the Loufan Pass. He watched the Turkic soldiers piled up like ants under the city gate and couldn't help laughing. No pass can withstand the attack of the Turkic soldiers. brave.

So what if you don't have a trebuchet, so what if you don't have a siege log, even if your arrows are flying all over the sky, so what, as long as there are enough people under his command and they charge hard enough, the Jin army will never be able to resist them.

"See, those Han thieves are shivering in the city now." Sha Bodu waved his hand and shouted, "Let me attack fiercely. Whoever can get in will be rewarded with another tribe!"

The soldiers got the order, and they rode their horses and shouted: "The command of the captain, whoever can attack in, will reward another tribe!"

The Turkic soldiers who were already crazy became even more crazy. They pushed the siege logs and slammed into the city gate crazily. Some soldiers even climbed up the city by stepping on the corpses of their companions. Mountains of corpses climbed upwards.

When the first Turkic soldier finally touched the top of the city, a jar suddenly shattered on top of his head.He couldn't help being furious, even a jar wanted to knock him down?
The Turkic soldier wiped the "water" off his face, and was about to pull out his scimitar and jump up the tower when he suddenly realized something was wrong, the "water" in his hand seemed to have a sticky smell.The next moment, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in his eyes, and an extremely burly Jin soldier punched him in the face, and then he saw the Jin soldier still put the torch on his body, and the flames spread from his clothes to him in an instant. cheeks.

"what!"

With the sound of screams, he fell from the tower, and the flames followed the "water" and ignited his whole body.This sudden change made the other Turkic soldiers startled, and then they all avoided the companion who had become the "burning man".

But at this time, one jar after another suddenly landed on the tower, some smashed on the Turkic soldiers, and some smacked on the siege logs. Because the Turkic soldiers below were piled up like a mountain, the "water" in those jars stuck to the ground. on them.

Before they figured out what these were, one after another burning rockets from the city tower shot over densely. The rockets hit the Turkic soldiers who were soaked in "water", and the flames burned rapidly. Rolling back and forth on the ground didn't help either, those flames just wouldn't extinguish the crazy burning.

After a while, Lou Fan turned off the flames, and most of the Turkic soldiers were burned by the flames because of the "water" in the previous jars.They ran around under the helplessness of the six gods, and the fire spread further.The Turkic soldiers who had been pushing the siege log were not in the mood to continue attacking the city at this time, because the flames were burning violently along the siege log.

The scorching temperature forced them to escape, but the crowd was crowded, and the flames spread faster and faster. After a while, almost all the Turkic soldiers under the city turned into one burning man after another.They howled in pain in the flames and ran around.

Sha Bodu froze on the spot, he watched the flames grow bigger and bigger, and more and more soldiers were burned to death.For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it. The commander next to him hurriedly said: "Captain, retreat quickly, the fire is coming!"

Hearing this, Sha Bodu was shocked all over.In front of him, those Turkic soldiers who were burned by the flames rushed towards them like crazy. The horses panicked because of the flames, and they slammed their limbs on the road crazily, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Seeing those "burning men" getting closer and closer to them, Sha Bo Duo looked at Loufan Pass extremely unwillingly, and he was only one step away from conquering Loufan Pass.

"Order, the whole army retreats!"

Sha Bodu's heart was dripping with blood, he had not conquered Lou Fanguan after paying such a high price.Although he was extremely angry in his heart, if he didn't retreat at this moment, the remaining soldiers under his command might be killed by the Jin army's fire attack.

The offensive and defensive battle, which lasted for nearly five hours, was finally coming to an end. Lou Fanguan was in a mess, with unextinguished flames everywhere, corpses full of arrows, pits and pits on the ground, blackened by the flames. The city walls, the air filled with the smell of charred corpses.

"Ahem!" Jiang Chengxiao endured the disgusting smell in the air, and directed the soldiers to clean up the wreckage on the top of the city.Black smoke enveloped from all directions, and an aura of disastrous defeat quietly permeated.

The Jin army was not happy because they had repelled the Turks, and this battle was nothing but a tragic victory for them.When the fire attack was the most intense, the flames even spread to the top of the city along the anointing oil.

Zhao Jiao stood on the other side and commanded the soldiers to carry the casualties down. Jiang Chengxiao walked over and asked softly, "General Zhao, how much ointment is left?"

"There are not many." Zhao Jiao said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "We didn't bring much ointment for this expedition, and [-]% of the reserves were used up in the battle just now."

Jiang Chengxiao was silent when he heard the words. The ointment used by the Jin army refers to vegetable oil or animal oil.Because of technology, they just used pine resin and "fire oil" naturally produced in some other plants.The power of this kind of fire oil is not strong, but the effect achieved when it was used unexpectedly just now is still good.

Knowing from Zhao Jiao's mouth that there was not much ointment left, Jiang Chengxiao also sighed helplessly, although he repelled the enemy army today.But tomorrow will usher in a more violent attack from them, and they may really be unable to defend by then.

Looking at the devastated city, he suddenly felt a little tired. This kind of effort, which he knew was hopeless, really made people want to quit.At this time, the "hurdle" in his mind suddenly wanted to be cleared. It wasn't because of his ineffective command, nor was it because of the ferocity of the Turkic people. The most critical problem was actually a problem with the grand strategy.

If the imperial court had anticipated this when calculating the temple, how could this be the case now.Forget it, he also tried his best to buy a lot of time for the people of Taiyuan County, enough.

"General, I don't know if I should say something about my humble position." Zhao Jiao looked at him with complicated eyes.Unknowingly, Zhao Jiao regarded him as the chief general, calling himself a lowly post.Perhaps it was the decisiveness and perseverance shown by the young general in the two days of offensive and defensive battles that made him admire him.

Jiang Chengxiao returned to his senses, and said with a light smile: "General Zhao, but it's okay to say."

Zhao Jiao said: "General, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, we are waiting to die here. Although we vowed to stay here before, but now we are here to die in vain without any meaning."
