Chapter 1898: The tragic attack and defense battle in Yanjing (9)
Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...
Flying stones and tincture oil kept falling, but because the Qin army''s catapults were divided very scattered, only a small part was smashed.
As for the turbulent oil dropped by the Han army, it was quickly extinguished by five or six groups of Qin soldiers with sand and soil, and one by one was destroyed.
"ah…"
The soldier with poor luck was affected by tinder oil and flames ignited on his body, but he could not extinguish them, so he could only roll on the ground in pain.
After seeing this, the comrades around immediately poured the sand and soil behind them directly onto the soldiers and used the sand and soil to extinguish the fire.
After paying the price of twenty catapults being smashed, the Han army on the city tower also fell within the scope of the Qin army''s catapults.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui made a quick decision and shouted, "Photoptimize the ignition oil."
The soldiers immediately loaded the catapult cart and brought a jar of hot turbulent oil to the catapult.
One hundred and eighty catapults, each of which casts out three jars of hot tinder, and one round is five hundred and forty jars.
Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom...
Five hundred and forty jars of turmeric oil fell on the city tower, and in an instant, one-twentieth of the city tower was tilted backwards.
Many Han army defenders were even burned to fire. They couldn''t stand the pain and jumped off the city tower, and would rather fall to death than be burned to death.
As for the other defenders, under the command of the North Gate General Su Jian, they also used various means to put out the fire.
However, the fierce turbulent oil of the Qin army is different from the turbulent oil of the Han army. It is not only more powerful, but also more lasting, and it is difficult to extinguish it.
The Qin army''s fierce tincture oil is a new type of tincture oil extracted from oil. Once ignited, everything around it will be burned before it is burned out. Even if sand is used, it will not be easy to extinguish it.
Qin Hao naturally had no hope for the powerful weapon of oil. He didn''t think about the underground oil, but open-pit oil could still be collected.
After searching for two years, the spies from the Black Ice Platform finally found two oil fields in Nanyang and Hanjiang.
Qin Hao immediately ordered the oil field to be sealed and a tincture oil processing plant was built on the spot, and the tincture oil was urgently processed and made. It took a year to extract 100,000 jars of tincture oil, which was barely enough for the Qin army to consume.
When conquering Jizhou, relying on this new type of hot turbulent oil, the Qin army repeatedly succeeded in siegeing the city and storming the Han and Zhao coalition forces.
Relying solely on Nanyang and Hanjiang, the output of the two turbulent oil plants naturally cannot supply the entire Qin army''s continuous consumption, but only these two oil fields under the Qin army''s jurisdiction.
It is strange that the Qin army owned four prefectures, Bing, Yong, Jing and He, but there were only two oil fields in Jingzhou. There was not even a single one in the huge Bingzhou and Sizhou.
In the process of attacking Jizhou, more than half of the new fierce tincture oil was consumed, and Jingzhou was attacked by Shu and Chu, and Sizhou was attacked by Tang, and the situation was critical.
Therefore, the production capacity of the Hanjiang Oilfield can only be given priority to Jingzhou, and the Nanyang Oilfield must also be supplied to Sizhou first, so that the Qin army in Hebei is about to face the situation of exhaustion of turbulence.
Fortunately, there is no way out.
Just when the new type of hot turbulent oil was about to be exhausted and could not be replenished, Gu Yong, the prefect of Bohai appointed by Qin Hao, discovered an oil field in Bohai County. The production capacity could not supply hundreds of thousands of troops in Hebei, but it was barely enough to save a little.
With the supply of Bohai Oilfield, the Qin army used new turbulent oil when it was conquering Youzhou.
The Qin army''s new type of fierce turbulent oil is extremely difficult to extinguish. This is the experience summarized by the Han army with blood and life in the continuous defeat of war. And also found a method that is easy to extinguish.
Any tincture oil is watered with water, and it becomes more and more abundant. It can only be extinguished with sand and soil. Although sand and soil can also extinguish the fierce tincture oil of the Qin army, the effect is not good and it must take a certain amount of time.
In the siege, every second is precious, and every location on the city tower is extremely important. If it takes so long to put out the fire, the city will not need to be guarded. In the midst of continuous defeats, the Han army really found a way to quickly extinguish the hot oil.
This method was thought out by Wei Qing, which is to add a certain amount of gravel to the sand and soil, and use sand and gravel soil to quickly extinguish the hot oil.
Liu Che had long expected that the Qin army would use strong tinder oil to attack the city, so he prepared 200,000 sacks of sand and gravel in Yanjing City in advance. The only function was to extinguish the fire. If it was not enough, it could still be made locally in the city.
All, as soon as the Qin army''s catapult car approached, the turbulent oil had not yet been thrown into the city, Su Jian was ready to put out the fire.
As the fire broke out, Su Jian immediately took the soldiers who specialized in extinguishing the fire, carrying generations of sand, gravel and soil to put out a large surface of turmeric, but then the next wave of turmeric was projected on, and the Han army defenders could only continue to extinguish the fire.
Xue Rengui asked the catapult car to cast ten rounds. After firing out 5,400 jars of hot turbulent oil, he stopped the consumption of hot turbulent oil and switched to flying stones.
It’s impossible not to stop. After all, the side that Xue Rengui attacked was 5,400 altars, and the three sides were 16,300 altars. If one was consumed like this, the Qin army would not be able to afford it.
Under the attack of 5,400 fierce fire from the Qin army, the Han army lost a large number of catapults and crossbows, and thousands of soldiers were burned to death, but in the same way, the situation on the Qin army was not much better.
The Qin army also had to face the Han army''s turbulent oil, rockets, and flying stones. Compared with the Han army guarding the city, the Qin army''s siege was obviously even greater.
Under the offensive of the Han army, the Qin army lost nearly one-third of the catapults, and only twenty of the fifty well railings were left, and soldiers were killed in battle.
Not only is this the case with Xue Rengui, but the other two city gates are the same. The two sides can be said to be fighting each other and consuming them.
Since the moat in Yanjing has not been filled yet, Xue Rengui did not let the soldiers attack the city directly, but first used a catapult cart and a powerful crossbow to shoot at each other with the Han army on the city tower, and at the same time, he asked the soldiers to carry sandbags back and forth to fill the moat.
The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can reduce casualties, while the disadvantage is that the siege equipment is seriously damaged and the consumption of materials is too fast. However, the Qin army is obviously not afraid of this.
With the capture of Yuyang and Shanggu counties, the Qin army could transport materials from these two routes. As long as the consumption speed is controlled within a reasonable range, there would never be any problem of material exhaustion.
"General, the loss is too great. In less than an hour, our army suffered thousands of brothers, but the Qin army''s offensive did not weaken at all."
"Hurry, go and tell the general that the Qin army''s offensive is too fierce and our army needs support."
Su Jian said to the personal soldiers beside him with an anxious look on his face, but he did not realize that his body was exposed outside the city wall.
Outside the city, on a well railing, Xue Rengui held a long bow in his hand, looked at Su Jian on the city tower coldly, and said coldly: "I know that my opponent is me, Xue Rengui, and he dares to show his head. He is simply seeking death."
After saying that, Xue Rengui let go of the bowstring and flew out directly, and the target was Su Jian on the city tower.
[Dingdong, Xue Rengui''s skill "Arrow God" is activated, and his force instantly +6, basic force is 105, equipment +2, and the current force has increased to 113. 】
"Be careful, General..."
When Su Jian heard the reminder, he was about to squat down, but the iron arrow had already reached the front and had no time to hide.
Pa…
Su Jian''s head was shot out by an arrow, leaving only his body, and fell to the ground.
In this way, the Qin army had only one hour of siege, and Su Jian, the garrison of the North Gate of Yanjing, died tragically under Xue Rengui''s arrow.
