Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 579 The Might of the Rocket
"General Cunxiao, don't get angry!"

Just then, a burst of hearty laughter came over.

Li Cunxiao was looking for fame, so who else could he be if he wasn't Su Lie?

Su Lie came forward on horseback, followed by a thousand archers who were ready to go. When they saw Lu Weihuang and Sui Yuanjin who were still laughing triumphantly on the city wall, they didn't answer, and directly called the archers to come forward. The posture is to shoot towards the head of the city.

"Hmph, a thousand archers want to do nothing to my [-] army. Isn't this Su Lie too fanciful?"

Lu Weihuang grinned contemptuously, he wanted to see what kind of tricks Su Lie could play.

Li Cunxiao touched his head and was also a little puzzled. They had used arrow arrays to suppress Yuan Jun's actions before, but Yuan Jun was well prepared. They shot from bottom to top, but the effect was not good. On the contrary, it was easy to destroy their own weak bows and arrows. The hand was exposed in Yuan Jun's field of vision.

"Dingfang, you..."

Li Cunxiao was about to question, but when he opened his mouth and was halfway through speaking, he was immediately stunned, then smiled strangely, and continued: "It's a bit cunning!"

It turned out that these thousand archers were not ordinary archers, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that the arrows in their hands were not ordinary arrows.

Their arrows were all rockets wrapped in flammable materials and soaked in fuel. With a slight click, the flames burst into flames.

Following Su Lie's order, a thousand rockets, boosted by the strong bow, instantly turned into a cloud of fire in the midair, carrying thick smoke and flying sparks, and shot towards the top of the city quickly .

Such a volley of rockets was even more terrifying than the usual doubled arrow rain. The sound of crackling and burning became very harsh, and the unique smell of burning kerosene came with the wind. Seeing this scene, Yuan Jun was all frightened.

However, the rockets fired by only 1000 people are still too humble in front of a big city like Guantao, and it is difficult to cause much threat and lethality to Yuan Jun.

Trying to break through the city with this rocket is tantamount to fantasy.

Lu Weihuang is a senior general in the army, not very capable but rich in experience, he didn't panic when he saw the flying rockets, and while commanding the soldiers to put up big shields to defend, he hid behind and laughed loudly: "Su Lie, Su Lie! , In vain, as a general of Liu Xie, you have led troops to frighten Jizhou for many years. Unexpectedly, there are also [-] troops, but you can't do anything to me. I think after today, you should go back to Yanzhou!"

But he didn't want to think about how big the gap was between siege and defense.

Su Lie didn't care about Lu Weihuang's sarcasm, and remained calm and calm, but this angered Li Cunxiao next to him.

Li Cunxiao immediately scratched his neck and yelled, he didn't have the demeanor of being the number one general in Yanzhou at all, seeing his non-stop energy, the teacher had to greet all eighteen generations of Lu Weihuang's ancestors before giving up.

But when he was only halfway through the scolding, Li Cunxiao suddenly stopped, with a hint of surprise and sureness on his face, and immediately turned to look at Su Lie, only to see Su Lie was looking at him with a faint smile, obviously it was early As expected.

Above the city wall, a burst of fire rose into the sky, and thick black smoke shot straight into Xiaohan, which could be clearly seen by the people on both sides of the remaining gates.

It turned out that Su Lie had known for a long time that it was impossible to directly kill Yuan Jun with rockets, so he ordered in advance to only teach the archers to shoot at the city wall.

Ordinary city walls are all made of bricks, stones and mud, so naturally they are beyond the reach of rockets, but Lu Weihuang and Sui Yuanjin were clever enough to apply a thick layer of lard on the city walls to prevent the Yanzhou army from placing ladders, and thus prevent the Yanzhou army from rushing forward. city.

The effect at the beginning was really good, and with this, Li Cunxiao, the well-known killing god, was firmly blocked under the tower.

But now that the rocket is shot at the lard, the entire city wall jumps to the ground, and a burst of flames jumps up high. The sound of violent burning lard crackles the city, and the unsuspecting Yuan Jun at the front is also set ablaze. .

It was the beginning of winter at this time, and Yuan Jun's officers and men were all wearing thick cotton clothes. When there was a fire, and the wind was strong at the top of the city, the fire took advantage of the wind and the wind helped the fire, so it could not be extinguished no matter how hard it was put out.

Seeing this, Lu Weihuang and Sui Yuanjin couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Fortunately, they were hiding behind, so they didn't get burned instantly by the oil fire like Yuan Jun's soldiers standing in front.

On the city wall, Yuan Jun kept wailing and screaming, screaming and screaming, his face was hideous, and he was very terrifying. He danced and tried to put out the fire on his body, but found that it was burning bigger and bigger. The soldiers who came forward to help accidentally killed themselves. It was lit, and the fire spread uncontrollably in a panic.

Su Lie didn't expect that the effect of the rocket would be so good. He was just inspired by Li Cunxiao's unintentional words, and wanted to use the rocket to burn up the lard smeared on the city wall. Who knew that Lu Weihuang entrusted him with burning Yuan Jun up.

Seeing that Yuan Jun was in chaos on the city wall, and the lard was burnt to pieces, Su Lie waved his hand without any hesitation, and shouted loudly: "Ascend the city to defeat the enemy, at this moment, all soldiers, follow me kill!"

"kill!"

Li Cunxiao gave up his horse, held a big shield in one hand and a long lance in the other, spread his legs and ran to the front.

The soldiers next to him hurriedly followed, and just as the ladder was held up, Li Cunxiao took the lead, and was the first to rush up against the still dripping oil droplets and flames.

"not good!"

There was a smoky chaos on the top of the city, when Lu Weihuang and Sui Yuanjin saw that Li Cunxiao, the murderous god, was about to charge up, Qiqi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly ordered Yuan Jun to go forward and throw rolling stones and trees.

However, there are still many Yuan Jun who are burned by oil and fire. Under the pain and fear, they don't care about their orders. They are helpless and frantic. defense.

Seeing that Li Cunxiao was about to rush to the city led by the brave Yanzhou army, Lu Weihuang suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, his face became fierce, he stabbed a burning Yuan Jun to death with his sword, and then kicked him down the city with a loud voice He shouted: "Anyone who doesn't obey the general's orders will be punished!"

In an instant, the panicked Yuan Jun was immediately frightened by Lu Weihuang's crazy actions and forced himself to calm down, but the Yuan Jun who were on fire still remained in chaos regardless, and the smell of burnt meat became stronger.

"Drive them all down to the city. If Li Cunxiao rushes up, no one will survive!"

Li Cunxiao's horror, no one will question.

As soon as Lu Weihuang finished speaking, he himself took the lead in kicking Yuan Jun, who was on fire and lost his mind, to the city.

Sui Yuanjin, who was next to him, saw him, gritted his teeth and rushed forward, shot a burning Yuan Jun, and threw him down the tower.

When the other officers and soldiers of Yuan's army saw this, even though they had a look of intolerance on their faces, they did not dare to hesitate to disobey the order. They rushed forward one after another, drove all the burning companions off the city wall, and threw them as fireballs at Li Cunxiao and others.
