"Young man, work hard."

"The road is tortuous, but the future is bright."

"One day, you will learn all my skills and reach the pinnacle of life."

……

Wait, why do these words sound so familiar?

If you hear this in modern times, the first feeling is that you have been fooled!

But how could Fatzitun in the Warring States Period know this.

He was immediately overwhelmed with excitement:

"No, many... Thank you Gongcheng for your teaching!"

"This subordinate will...definitely do his best to...repay Gong Cheng for his kindness."

"Gong, Gong... What else can Cheng order?"

Shen Bing nodded heavily:

"carry on!"

"I like you!"

"come on!"

Fatty Tun bowed heavily again, and then went on about it.

Looking at Fatty's bloody look, Shen Bing thought to himself:

"sure!"

"The ancients were so easy to deceive?"

"If you want to start a company and recruit a group of people in this era, use modern methods to coax them."

"Then counting the money will make your hands cramp?"

……

Chapter 31 Fire Attack

That night Xuchang had a dream.

He dreamed that the Qin army came to attack, and he led the Zhao army to kill the Qin army, causing blood to flow into rivers, crying ghosts and wolves howling.

Xu Chang stood tall on the top of the city, raised his sword and smiled in the wind.

That is majestic and majestic, admired by thousands of people, gongs and drums are loud, red flags are waving...

Xu Chang in the dream even laughed a few times.

At this time, a soldier came to report:

"General, something is wrong!"

"The Qin army is here to commit crimes."

"Lieutenant, please come to command the general!"

Xu Chang woke up with a start, and sat up from the bed in a "teng", cursing:

"I still don't know what's the matter."

"It's the Qin army who sent him to die!"

"This is a good thing, how can it be called 'a big thing is not good'!"

Before the soldiers could explain, Xu Chang calmly shouted:

"come!"

"Quickly put on clothes for me."

"Warm up another jug ​​of wine, and drink a few glasses to celebrate when I come back with a few heads."

Soldier: ...

After Xu Chang staggered up the city wall with a few personal guards, he saw Wang Bai and the others looked tense as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Xu Chang frowned, and said with a slight reproach in his tone:

"Captain, this is your fault."

"I will be the general of the first army."

"Don't be surprised by changes, and don't be chaotic when you are against, so that you can set an example for an army..."

Wang Bo interrupted Xu Chang and said, "General, the Qin army seems to be attacking with fire!"

Xu Chang laughed:

"I expected that the Qin army would use fire to attack."

"It is to move the sawdust and branches back."

"See what Qin Jun can do to me..."

Wang Bo interrupted Xu Chang again: "General, the Qin army seems to be attacking with catapult fire."

Xu Chang smiled again:

"It's just a trebuchet."

"Our army has rushed to manufacture thousands of them."

"And being condescending, how can Qin Jun get close..."

It was Xu Chang who suddenly stopped talking.

Because his eyes have turned to the city.

At this time, the Qin army had already lit the fire bombs, and there were fireballs everywhere, like a sea of ​​fire.

Xu Chang's expression changed drastically, he turned around and shouted to Wang Bo:

"Why haven't we fired stone bombs?"

"Don't let the Qin army come up."

"There are also archers..."

Wang Bai just shook his head helplessly.

Why didn't he want to fire stone bombs.

But before Qin Jun ignited the fire, the city was pitch-black, where did he ask him to fight?

It was too late to stop Qin Jun at this time.

Just hearing the sound of "creaking" under the city, hundreds of fireballs soared into the air and flew towards the city wall.

The flames of the fireball whirred in the mountain wind, breaking through the night like shooting stars.

Then with a sound of "teng", it hit the city wall.

Immediately, there was a sound of broken wood and screams from all around, as well as the sound of Zhao Jun's hasty counterattack.

However, after Qin Jun fired the fireball, it turned into darkness, and Zhao Jun's trebuchet was just hitting blindly.

At this time, Xu Chang was in a panic, hiding behind the parapet wall and didn't know what to do.

But Wang Bo calmed down and ordered loudly:

"Tabuster, get ready, don't launch indiscriminately!"

"Bowmen, prepare the rockets, and indicate the position for the catapult."

"The rest of the soldiers hurry to put out the fire!"

……

Wang Bo is worthy of being a veteran who has fought for many years. He immediately understood the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves.

As mentioned before, Qin Jun's choice of night attack made Zhao Jun's condescending advantage disappear.

Although Zhao Jun's trebuchet can hit farther, it can't see the target.

More importantly, he couldn't see the stone bullets he fired.

So just like a blind man touching an elephant, he can only rely on feeling and luck.

In ancient times, the hit rate of trebuchets was not high.

It is the improved version that can barely make three out of ten shots after adjustment.

Zhao Jun fought indiscriminately without adjustment in the dark, and it was not bad to hit one out of ten shots.

So, the trebuchet needs a rocket.

Lighting with rockets.

However, Zhao Jun was not well-prepared, so he temporarily prepared a batch of rockets and shot them down sparsely...

The fire light was like a star reflected in the water, and it flickered for a while, illuminating Qin Jun's murderous face, and then disappeared.

At this time, Qin Jun played happily.

The first batch of Qin Jun fired flint bombs.

The reason why it is a flint bomb is that it is easier to ignite only when the logs on the city wall are smashed.

Although the hit rate of this batch of flint bombs was not high, their flames illuminated the entire city.

Therefore, the Qin army operator adjusted the distance calmly.

The accuracy of the next batch of stone bullets will naturally be different.

I saw Yang Ting reining in her horse and neighing in front of her, then pointing her spear forward: "Let it go!"

Immediately, one after another fireballs passed over Yang Ting's head and went straight to the enemy camp.

There was another sound of splintering wood, and the fire on the city wall intensified again.

But that's just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, the next batch was sackcloth bombs.

Speaking of which, there are still some twists and turns in making sackcloth bombs.

The difficulty lies in the sackcloth.

In ancient times, the workload of making clothes and trousers was quite large.

Spinning, weaving, cutting...everything takes a lot of time and patience.

It would be nice for ordinary soldiers to have a set of clothes to change and wash, so how can they donate so many linen clothes to make fire bombs.

Shen Bing didn't expect that this would become a problem. How could this be considered a problem in modern times?

But in ancient times when productivity was low, a piece of clothing was not as simple as Shen Bing thought.

Although it was just brown clothes (linen clothes) worn by ordinary people.

In the end, Gao Che thought of a way:

"When I entered the Great Wall, I cut down many Zhao soldiers."

"Why not take off their clothes and make firebombs?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

Is this... going to strip off the dead man's clothes?

And it has been dead for several days and has started to rot and smell?

But there is no way, this sackcloth bullet is very important to the battle situation.

It can even be said that whether Zhao Jun can be "burned inside and out" depends on the sackcloth bomb.

So in the end, people were organized to pick up the clothes...but not the gunners.
