At this time, the fortress had become a mess.
At first, the defenders thought that the large tank thrown in by Qin Feng was filled with kerosene in preparation for a fire attack on the fortress, and the defenders were already ready to put out the fire.
As a result, large vats were smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces. The black liquid pouring out from them emitted an unimaginable stench, and the city was filled with howls.
At first, everyone was still confused as to what the liquid was and thought it was fecal juice. However, when they started to clean it up, they were horrified to find that the pus was mixed with a large number of bones. Only then did they suddenly realize that what Qin Feng threw in was actually... They are all corpses!
"God damn Qin Feng, he is so vicious!"
The defenders present were angry and frightened. They pointed outside the city and cursed. Some even picked up their bows and arrows, ran to the city wall, and shot arrows at the camp in the distance to vent their anger.
"Damn Qin Feng, in order to capture the fortress, he even used such unscrupulous methods!"
"The tactic of throwing corpses is only used by some small barbarian countries. I didn't expect that the Liang State, which prides itself on being a country of ritual and music, would also use such shameless tactics!"
"Hey, you can't say that. On the battlefield, as long as it can be effective, it is a good method."
"Liang Guo and our Dadi have been fighting for so many years, resulting in countless casualties and extremely serious consumption of national power. In order to end the war with minimal losses, it is understandable that Liang Guo used such methods."
"Damn it, why are you talking for the enemy? I think you want to commit treason!"
"Did I say something wrong?!"
"You still dare to speak harshly. Believe it or not, I will arrest you now and go to meet the general!"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of slanting shadows when I'm upright, so why should I be afraid!"
The entire fortress became increasingly chaotic, ranging from shock to anger. Since there was nothing they could do to deal with Qin Feng, the angry defenders almost led to internal strife.
Fortunately, Ma Tingyun arrived in time, commanding the soldiers to maintain order while asking the soldiers to clean up the scene.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
"Now that it's freezing cold, the corpses will be frozen quickly, and it will never cause a plague."
"Since Qin Feng took the initiative to throw the corpses in, it saves us the trouble of going out to rob them. These bones are all our soldiers who died in the battle of Dadi. They are all buried well."
With Ma Tingyun's efforts to comfort him, the chaotic fortress gradually calmed down.
result……
The defenders endured the stench and finally cleaned up the corpses. However, the next day, Qin Feng ordered more than 20 large vats filled with rotting corpses to be thrown in!
Even Ma Tingyun, who was as stable as a rock, couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"This Qin Feng is too cunning. He throws corpses into the fortress at noon, when the temperature is the highest. Only at noon will the corpses thaw, and the sticky juice will splash everywhere..."
"Damn it, Qin Feng and General Chen Si had extremely far-reaching strategic vision when fighting on a large scale on the battlefield. I didn't expect that they were so skilled in small tactics in this kind of local war."
"If no reinforcements arrive, how long can Eagle Ridge hold on?"
Qin Feng's tactics of disturbing the enemy were extremely successful. Although the corpses thrown in every time were quickly cleaned up, the juice splashed everywhere either soaked the ground or adhered to the walls of the house.
As a result, the entire fortress is always filled with a pungent and unpleasant stench, and the smell is especially strong at noon every day.
Many defenders simply covered their mouths and noses with cloth, but as long as noon came, they would still be dying from the smoke.
If they go to the battlefield and fight with gongs and drums, these veterans are not afraid at all.
However, these veterans were unable to resist Qin Feng's "bad tricks". For a time, the entire fortress was full of complaints.
There was no choice but to order Ma Tingyun to burn the hay and use smoke to cover up the stench.
At noon on the third day, as expected, the ten catapults under Qin Feng, protected by infantry holding large shields, pushed forward again to a position less than 150 steps away from the city wall.
At this time, the corpses stored at the scene were almost exhausted.
And when the catapult started today, the big tank was already loaded.
Ma Tingyun, who was standing on the city wall, saw this situation and immediately ordered to burn the hay in advance to create smoke to prevent the stench from continuing to spread.
Looking at the smoke-filled fortress, Qin Feng couldn't help but sneer. With a wave of his hand, ten large tanks were thrown towards the fortress. At the same time, the follow-up soldiers escorted the carriage and appeared next to the catapult.
Each carriage carried four large tanks.
Ma Tingyun watched the vat fly over his head with his own eyes. He didn't care at first, but when he saw the enemy transporting the vat to the catapult instead of directly grabbing the materials on the spot and grabbing the corpse.
A very bad premonition spread in Ma Tingyun's heart.
Looking at the defenders who were trying their best to burn the hay, Ma Tingyun couldn't help shouting hysterically: "Quick! Put out the fire!"
"That bastard Qin Feng used rotting corpses as bait to lure us into using smoke to dispel the smell, and then used fire attacks."
Ma Tingyun's reaction speed was fast enough, but unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
Ten large vats hit the ground, and what spewed out was no longer rotten pus, but kerosene!
Although dry grass is burned, it needs to be covered with wet material to suppress the open flame to produce a large amount of thick smoke.
However, kerosene will explode instantly if it encounters the slightest spark.
Ma Tingyun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Quick! Quickly cover the hay with loose soil!"
Directly covering the smoldering hay with soil to isolate the fire oil is undoubtedly the most correct decision.
Unfortunately, Ma Tingyun's voice was limited after all and could not reach the ears of every defender at the same time, and the messengers could not issue orders immediately.
Despite Ma Tingyun's efforts to stop it, many defenders were still frightened by the gush of kerosene. Seeing the kerosene pouring into the haystack, they used pitchforks to push the smoldering hay aside in desperation. .
The intention was to keep the haystacks away from the kerosene.
In the end, the push didn't matter. The smoldering hay suddenly burst into the air and burst into flames.
Moreover, the scattered sparks fell on the kerosene and immediately caused a raging fire.
Once the flames boiled, it was difficult to contain them. In addition, more and more large tanks filled with kerosene were thrown into the fortress, and many defenders were burned to death on the spot.
The entire fortress was filled with screams, howls, and curses, all mixed together, like a purgatory on earth.
In order to put out the fire, many defenders rushed to bring water tanks. As soon as they poured a tank of water, they were slapped by the supervisors and became dizzy.
"What a fool, there is already a shortage of water in the fortress, yet you dare to squander it wantonly!"
“Don’t put out fire with water, use earth!”
