The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 530 Failed Siege
On the seventh day, the Hengshan Army finally built the siege equipment and officially kicked off the siege.

The Eternal Army still drove away the thousands of civilians captured nearby, and began to charge the city.The Hengshan Army's catapults had already started firing, suppressing the defenders on the city wall.

On the De'anke viewing platform, he calmly issued various orders and arranged the city defense in an orderly manner.Although the top of the city was bombarded by throwing stones from time to time, the casualties were not large.The stone catapults placed in the city also started to fight back. Many boulders fell into the battlefield and rolled forward, crushing and killing countless Wukaner people along the way.

At this time, Hengshan Army's fender vehicles started to move, and dozens of vehicles were slowly moving towards the city gate.

Seeing this, De'anke couldn't help but concentrate his eyes, "Here we come, the opponent is about to bomb the city gate."

"Order the catapult to adjust its direction to the direction of the city gate, and concentrate the catapult." De'anke looked at the fender vehicles rather uneasy, and ordered immediately.

Soon, dozens of catapults in the city immediately turned their directions, and dozens of round stones fell in front of the city gate, rolling and crashing into the fender car.

"Boom!" After all, some fenders couldn't bear the impact of the boulder and burst into pieces.The Hengshan soldiers inside were killed and wounded, and they quickly ran out and retreated.

Watching the fender cars being blocked halfway, one after another was destroyed.Chen Rui's face turned livid, and he immediately ordered: "Order the catapult to adjust the angle, and smash the catapult in the city for me."

The catapult immediately adjusted its angle and began to test a round of shelling.However, the effect was not good, only one or two stone cannons fell into the city.Then continue debugging, test firing the second round, and finally, more stone cannons fell into it.In this regard, Chen Rui was also very helpless. After all, these catapults were just built in a hurry, and there was no way to accurately adjust the accuracy. They could only try again and again.After several times of debugging, most of the stones finally fell into the city.Just this one action caused several stone throwers to misfire on the other side.

But Chen Rui was not satisfied, and immediately ordered, "Change the kerosene bomb."

"Master, no, we don't have much kerosene, and it will be of great use in the future." The quartermaster hurriedly stopped and advised.

"What do you care about the future at this time? Didn't you see that our comrades in arms suffered heavy casualties?" Chen Rui gave him a fierce look, and said in a deep voice, "Immediately execute the order."

"Yes!" The quartermaster had no choice but to go to make arrangements.

After a while, dozens of bottles of kerosene were placed in the throwing basket, and the oilcloth on the mouth of the jar was ignited with fire.With a "bang" of the throwing pole, the fire oil tanks rolled across the sky, fell into the city wall, and fell around the stone catapult.Bottles of cracked oil tanks exploded, and the fuel splashed and overflowed with the fire, which immediately contaminated the stone catapult next to it. The light of the fire diffused and quickly ignited the stone catapult.

Even more unlucky, the defenders who operated the catapult were splashed with oil and fire, and could not be extinguished no matter how they were thrown, they could only roll on the ground in vain until they died.

Facing the sudden sky fire, everyone was frightened, thinking it was a punishment from the god of fire.At this moment, someone suddenly thought of something, and immediately shouted: "This is the fire of hell used by those evil devils, which cannot be extinguished with water. Vulcan, come and save us, the devil has come back to the world !"

Almost everyone was terrified and knelt down to pray for the protection of Vulcan.

De'anke's eyes were tearing apart. This, is this the opponent's mysterious weapon?He is not these fools, so he naturally knows that the other party uses kerosene.It's just that this is different from the kerosene in his impression. The kerosene used by the other party has a greater burning power and a fiercer flame.

No matter how De'anke tried to rescue him, after several rounds of kerosene bombardment, the stone catapults in the city were burned down.

As a last resort, De Anke had no choice but to order the defenders to concentrate on guarding the city wall. Although passive, as long as the city wall does not fall, the provincial capital will be safe.

Finally, under the baptism of arrow rain, the fender car finally arrived at the gate of the city.At the risk of falling boulders, gunpowder was quickly buried at the gate of the city, and everyone evacuated immediately after the twisted rope was ignited.

Although De'anke couldn't see the movement under the city clearly, he knew that the moment of fate had arrived.In order to prevent the opponent from breaking through the city gate, he mobilized [-] troops to garrison at the city gate. If it breaks through, he can only rely on his flesh and blood to resist the charge of the cavalry.

"Boom!" The loud noise was like thunder, and the sound shook the sky.

The defenders on the city wall stared blankly at the rising mushroom cloud, and an urge to pay homage arose spontaneously.They feel that this is the miracle they imagined, an ability that only Vulcan can master.

De'anke was also stunned. He knew that the opponent's mysterious weapon was very strong, but he never thought it would have such an effect.If he hadn't already penetrated the essence of the Vulcan religion, he might have thought it was a miracle like everyone else.But he knew it wasn't, it was just a mysterious and powerful weapon held by the other party.With this kind of weapon, who else in this world is an opponent?
At some point, Master Aoda was already standing on the viewing platform, watching the rising black smoke obsessively, trembling with excitement, "This is the real fire of hell, if we can get it, Vulcan How can the teachings of the world not be extended to the whole world?”

Deanke glanced at Oda slightly, and muttered to himself, what a fanatic.But at this moment, he had no intention of paying attention to him, and all his attention was focused on the gate of the city.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the stones surrounding the city gate were still firmly piled up there. This earth-shattering explosion could not break through the city gate at all.

Soon, more and more people saw this, and the cheers gradually sounded, and then merged into one.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deanke organized another manpower to publicize everywhere: The evil forces have been severely defeated by our army, and the provincial capital is still in our hands, God of Vulcan bless you!

The good news from the city wall immediately made the whole city elated and more confident in defending the city.

Chen Rui looked at the chaotic rocks inside the city gate with a gloomy face, and his heart was full of anger. He knew that the other party would definitely block the city gate, so he had increased the amount of gunpowder several times, but he still couldn't blast away those chaotic stones. stone pile.

"What should we do? Time is running out." Chen Rui looked at the opposite city with deep eyes, "This time we go north to meet, we must ensure that there is no threat from the rear, and this city must be taken. But the opposite wall is high and the city is deep, and gunpowder cannot break through it." It may take a lot of time to open the city gate and capture it, but what our army lacks most now is time."

"Order Mingjin to withdraw the troops!" Seeing that the city could not be taken for a while, Chen Rui had to order the army to retreat, and then make a long-term plan.

As the army slowly withdrew, the two armies regained calm again.
