The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Under Chenliu City, the Zhou army arrayed again.

After attacking Chenliu for a long time, however, they still failed to break Chenliu.

The defenders in Chenliu City risked their lives to defend the city.

Attacked again and again, only to be pushed back again and again.

The casualties on both sides are increasing alternately every day.

The recruits have never experienced such a large-scale siege of a warehouse.

Of course, there is no need to go into details about the impact of the new recruits on both sides.

Zhou Cheng stood on the high platform.

At this time, behind Zhou Cheng, densely packed soldiers stretched as far as the eye could see.

They formed countless phalanxes of thousands of people, standing in place, waiting for orders.

The newly shipped siege ladder from Zhenliaocheng Arsenal was quickly made by craftsmen in recent days and finally caught up with the war.

It was transformed from a well railing, with a tower bridge placed on it that could cross the moat. The soldiers below could quickly climb to the top of the building from the stairs, and it could also be disassembled and assembled.

Of course, such a behemoth requires more manpower to promote it.

In addition, Zhou Cheng adopted Li Ru's suggestion and built more high platforms.

A trebuchet can be placed on the high platform.

The trebuchet is also a new product.

The ten-pound fire oil tank thrown from the high platform can directly attack the city and cause damage to the city.

This type of trebuchet is relatively light, so its accuracy and stability are extremely poor, but its range is relatively long.

The thrown fire oil can can reach more than 1,200 steps.

The current development of trebuchets can be regarded as contemporary black technology.

However, the disadvantage is that it is easily damaged.

Therefore, the accompanying craftsmen brought a large number of accessories for replacement.

At this time, Guo Jia asked:"I don't know which general my lord wants to send to attack the city today.""

"Siege? Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows and snorted:"We will not attack the city today.""

As soon as these words came out, the civil servants and generals were stunned and looked puzzled.

Zhou Cheng continued:"From today on, we will throw fire oil cans into the city every day. I want to see how Cao Zixiao puts out the fire?"

Is this going to set fire to the city?

"Burn for three to five days first."

Zhou Cheng wants to retaliate in kind.

Since he wants to play arson, let's see who burns whom!

"My lord, is this inappropriate?"Yang Xiu hesitated and wanted to persuade Zhou Cheng.

The fire burned the city, and the people were too innocent.

However, Zhou Cheng was unmoved and said:"It doesn't matter! The princes and subordinates are afraid of me, your tigers and wolves, so there is no need to worry about it."

Zhou Cheng has already broken the pot.

Fame is nothing.

He treated those wealthy families in the north well enough, as long as those wealthy families did not rebel and did not directly raid their homes.

However, while he was marching south, he still Someone rebelled.

Moreover, after being unable to attack for a long time, Zhou Cheng no longer planned to use human lives to pile up the pile.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

As the Zhou army approached, Cao Ren hurried to the city.

Seeing the densely packed Zhou army , and the countless siege equipment, he felt a chill in his heart and was extremely worried.

After Cao Cao left the city, he took away all the cavalry.

Cao Ren did not have the means to rush out of the city and destroy the trebuchets and siege equipment.

At the moment , hundreds of trebuchets launched an intensive bombing on the city wall.

The kerosene tanks were constantly thrown to the top of the city and into the city.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The kerosene tanks exploded in the city, causing a fire.

Soon, many houses in the city burned down

"Put out the fire quickly!"

"Go get water quickly!"

The people held sticks, slapped the flames, and carried water at the same time to put out the fire as much as possible. However, the fire oil cans continued to be thrown into the city.

On the contrary, fewer of them were thrown towards the city.

Cao Ren, Cao Zhen and others never They had seen such tactics before.

Moreover, they were stunned by the amount of trebuchets and the consumption of supplies. How big a reserve was Zhou Cheng’s kerosene tank? There were two main types of kerosene in the Han Dynasty.

One was animal and Plant fats, another kind called fire oil, which is also petroleum.

After the widespread use of trebuchets, Zhou Cheng's fire oil reserves further increased. When buildings were ignited, sometimes water was used, which actually made the fire burn harder. Wang.

The civil structure building was burned by the fire, rising smoke, and eventually collapsed. The visual and psychological pressure this caused to the defenders and people in the city was difficult to describe in words.

Cao Ren and Cao Zhen saw each other. Since the Zhou army had no intention of attacking the city, they could not allow the fire to burn.

If the fire was not suppressed, it would be terrible to burn.

Therefore, Cao Ren could only send a large number of soldiers, as well as young men and civilians in the city, to organize and put out the fire. Flames.

However, it is easy to set a fire, but difficult to put out a fire.

However, the Zhou army outside the city is still throwing fire oil cans.

All of them are thrown into the city.

As soon as they put out the fire here, another fire breaks out there, and the people fighting the fire are also facing great danger at any time..

Whether they were directly burned or burned while fighting fires, huge casualties occurred.

Moreover, personnel were exhausted.

As time went by, more and more buildings were affected by the high heat of the flames and began to collapse.

The collapse of each building, It will cause a huge psychological shadow to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Moreover, the weather is cold, and there are bedding and clothes in the burned houses.

Now there are no clothes and shelter to keep out the cold. How can we survive the severe cold?!

Cao Ren's face was ashen and his body was shaking. He gritted his teeth and said:"Thieves of Zhou, thieves of Zhou are inhumane!"

Although Guan Yu had long heard that Zhou Cheng's army was very strong in field battles, he didn't expect that their siege equipment was so powerful.

Moreover, the range and accuracy of these siege equipment have obviously been improved.
