Chapter 1431 Defending the City (6)

In the eyes of everyone laughing, the catapult threw flints several times, hitting the city gate every time.But it was the first time to hit the foot of the city gate, the second time to hit the waist of the city gate, and the third and fourth time to hit the top of the city gate.Are you going to light the city gate with flint?Such a small amount of stone can't even knock on the city gate, let alone start a fire. Although the city gate is made of wood, it is inlaid with iron sheets.No wonder people simply ignore it and let you smash it.

The slinger still didn't give up and continued to prepare, but this time instead of stones, he put a few clay pots, and threw them out without igniting the fire.The sound of the clay pot being smashed can be heard here.Oh, seeing that the oil cans are used for the ignition failure, the heads think smugly.

After throwing the clay pot a few more times, the catapult finally threw flint again.The chiefs still had a mocking look on their faces, please, even if oil is added, there is still a layer of iron sheet, but it has never been heard that the iron sheet can be burned by oil.

However, as a raging flame spread across the entire city gate, the leaders were startled, and as the flame continued, their eyes and mouths became bigger and bigger.

It took them a while to shout in shock: "Is this the legendary ice oil?"

The Shanyue soldiers did not expect so many, and they all cheered.

Lei Ming's complacent opponents said: "That's right, all respected leaders, this is ice oil pouring water endlessly, even if the city gate is entirely made of iron, it will turn into ice under the flames of ice oil." Let's see how they resist! This city will soon be ours!"

Lei Ming's words immediately made the leaders and the Shanyue soldiers cheer together, okay, finally the day when the city is broken, I must take the loss back from the city!
Everyone looked at the flames excitedly, waiting to be the first to rush in when the flames went out.

But what shocked everyone by the power of the ice oil was that not only did the flame not go out, it didn't even weaken at all. On the contrary, it burned bigger and bigger, and finally became a fire that soared into the sky, and the towers on the city gate were surrounded by flames.

"It's strange, why didn't the soldiers of Jinwen City respond? And why is the fire getting bigger and bigger?" Lei Ming muttered as he looked at the fire, frowning.

"It should be the object that blocked the gate after it was ignited, otherwise there would not be such a big fire, but it is impossible for the sandbags to burn for so long. Could it be that they piled up a lot of wood?" Tang Feng was also very puzzled.

A gust of wind blew, and in addition to the sound of things being burned, there was a burning smell in the air.

Others couldn't smell what kind of burning it was, but Tang Feng, who had smelled this smell, changed his face and shouted: "Damn it! These prodigal sons! They actually used food to block the door!"

"Food? My God! How much food did they pile up to form such a big flame!" Everyone wailed with regret.

Why do the Shanyue people keep expanding their land outwards?It is because the planting area is not enough!Tens of thousands of them gathered here. Apart from eating up Lei Ming's food, they also ate up all the animals within a radius of tens of miles. They had to travel tens of kilometers to hunt to get anything. Now everyone is half-starved. Half full.

But the other party actually used food to block the door?What a luxury.

"No need to wait, let's attack other city gates." Lei Ming said.

But no one listened to what he said. If there is a door, don’t you go in and climb the wall?Who would be that stupid?This fire can't last until dawn, can it?It's best to get in easily after the fire is out, why bother climbing the wall.

Lei Ming looked at Tang Feng, and found that Tang Feng shook his head slightly, knowing that his uncle didn't want to use his identity as the leader of the mountain to order the leaders to attack other city gates, because it was too obvious, after all, no one is an idiot.Lei Ming had no choice but to wait with everyone.

The longer the fire is lit, the more distressed everyone is, because it means that more food will be burned.Tens of thousands of people waited foolishly in the dark for several hours, and finally found that the flames began to extend backwards and began to weaken.

I don't know who shouted: "Come on!" The Shanyue soldiers immediately went into chaos, and everyone rushed towards the burnt-black city gate.

The first batch of people who rushed to the city gate all shouted: "Wow! It's hot! It's hot!" while jumping and rushing into the city.

Originally, the Shanyue soldiers were wary of the enemy's ambush, but after rushing for a while and found that there was no resistance, they immediately rushed to the location of the treasure house in their minds, which is the center of the city.

However, the Shanyue soldiers soon found themselves disappointed. Except for the shape of the street, the street was full of ruins. The Shanyue soldiers couldn't help muttering: "We didn't attack once, why is it so corrupted here? Not those Catapult is the devil, right?"

The Shanyue soldiers became more and more daring as they walked, but they also became more and more heartbroken. Being bold means that there are no enemy troops at all, and being heartbroken means that the whole city is in ruins!

People like myself have worked so hard to come here to work, just to get this ruin?What about food?Good food and wine, nice and warm clothes, a strong and beautiful house, where are all these things?Just when the Shanyue soldiers were yelling at their mothers, a message of "There are a lot of things piled up at the city gate! Food! Fine wine! Weapons, clothes! Everything you need!" was heard immediately, and the Shanyue soldiers' eyes lit up immediately, and they didn't need a leader. command, and immediately rushed to the other three city gates like a tide.

Seeing the mountain of materials piled up at the city gate, the Shanyue soldiers' lost mood was immediately satisfied, and then they rushed forward regardless of the leader's regulations.

The braver one hugged the wine jar and took a sip, then changed into warm clothes, picked up a beautiful weapon and hung it on his waist, then turned around and left with two bags of grain on his back.

The more clever ones pulled up the brothers, found wooden boards, piled up a pile of things, lifted them up and left, no matter how intimidating and lure the headman was, these Shanyue people living nearby made up an idea to carry things home. my own!

The Shanyue soldiers stationed farther away are more disciplined. Taking the village as a unit, they carry away a batch of supplies and put them in the corner, and then stand guard in groups to show everyone that these things are owned by the owner.

In a word, the Shanyue people who are used to being poor can't think of anything when they see so many supplies. They just think about how to improve their family's life.

Although the leaders reprimanded their subordinates, as leaders they had to think about the tribe, otherwise they would be leaders, and in the end they led people to seize a batch of supplies.When Tang Feng and Lei Ming arrived after hearing the news, the distribution of spoils had already been completed.

Tang Feng and Lei Ming couldn't help but be jealous when they saw this batch of high-quality materials, even though they were well-informed and noble.

But when they opened their mouths to ask, those leaders immediately threw aside their respect for the mountain group, saying that the mountain group is a symbol of the entire mountain group, and asking for supplies from our small tribes is too cheap, isn't it?
As for the initiator of the looting against Lei Ming?One sentence, we don't want the city, since the biggest part of the city is given to you, what else do you want?These are our hard work!

Tang Feng was very helpless when he was suppressed by the big signboard of the mountain group, but he also sensed the dissatisfaction of his subordinates. Also, although these people like himself are dignified trump cards, but so many brothers died, they didn't get any benefits. Why? To see people?I had no choice but to coerce and lure with the cheek.

Now he can't care about Lei Ming anymore, after all, he is the head of the mountain regiment first, and then he is the blood of the tribe.

After some tongue-in-cheek talk, the leaders still gave some face to the mountain regiment, and gave Tang Feng the armor and the leftover weapons.

The members of the mountain regiment, whose families had food and clothing, were somewhat satisfied with the distribution of spoils. Although these weapons were a bit worn out, they were probably good, and they could be sold for a few bucks.

It's just a pity that the enemy army evacuated first, otherwise at least a batch of good goods could be intercepted, and it would be best to grab a batch of gold coins.Even though they thought so, no one thought about chasing the enemy. Now running out in black is tantamount to courting death!
Lei Ming was begging his grandpa to beg his grandma, and after performing some white-faced, black-faced, yellow-faced, green-faced performances, he finally got alms from the chiefs, got a batch of food and clothes, plus what his men seized, it was considered a small profit.Lei Ming doesn't care about his shameless performance, let alone be afraid that he will lose the admiration of his subordinates.

If I can bring benefits to the tribe, my subordinates can only admire me more, so why would I despise myself?Profit is everything.

However, Lei Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Tang Feng in panic: "Oops! We have already asked other tribes for reinforcements, and there will be at least 10 people at the time. How can we entertain them with this ruin?"

Hearing this, Tang Feng immediately had a headache.

Who would have thought that the imperial army would destroy the buildings in the city?Seeing this scene of rubble, those reinforcements would probably insist on asking for the cost of dispatching troops, right?Maybe they, who were not satisfied, would unite to take revenge on the tribe when they went back.

The chieftains also heard Lei Ming's words, their faces changed, their eyes rolled, and they came forward with a smile: "Brother Lei Ming, look, we also helped you take down Jinwen City. It's hard to live without us strong men at home. , we have to rush back, so we won’t talk much, and we’ll leave.” Saying that, he turned around and left with his followers.

Of course, because they were afraid of being angered, they were very distressed and left another batch of food.

Looking at the suddenly quiet rubble field and at the bags of food, Lei Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I thought that Jinwen City would consume those small tribes for me, but I didn't expect that it would only consume [-] to [-] percent. The Jinwen City defenders suddenly stopped playing sneaky, and they destroyed the city very viciously before leaving, making myself Except for an empty shell, all other intentions fell through.

And the biggest trouble is how to deal with the coming army.If they are allowed to fight against the security division, and they don't have the money to buy them off, they are not fools, how can they resist the army for nothing.
