Jars kept falling from the sky one after another. Many of the falling jars directly smashed the heads of the defenders on the city wall, and some unlucky ones were even killed directly.
"It turns out they used 'Kongming lanterns' to transport things and hit us. It's really despicable..." The injured Qing defender covered his wounds and cursed.
"Huh? Wait, what is this?"
I saw black viscous liquid constantly remaining in the broken jar.
"No, it's oil. There is oil on top of the city. Everyone, get out of the way. Hurry up..." someone shouted loudly.
Before the shouting ended, another round black object fell from the sky.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Loud noises continued to explode at the top of the city, and some defenders who had no time to escape were blown out of the city. More defenders were blown to pieces.
"Damn it! Rebellious thief, I will fuck you n..."
The Manchurian guard Amuniputas Wangtuoba who was hiding in the tower of the city shouted angrily to the sky when he saw the tragic situation at the top of the city. Although the bow and arrows in his hands were fully drawn, they still failed to pose any threat to the bandit suppressing troops in the air.
However, Amuniptas Wangtuoba had not finished shouting angrily. At this moment, I saw torches falling from the sky again and again. The traces of falling torches are so clearly visible.
"No…"
Amuniptas Wangtuoba shouted, he wanted to go out and pick up all the torches that fell on the city wall? G. Drop them. But the soldiers around him stopped him rationally.
"boom……"
With a deep sound, the oil that had been dropped on the city was instantly ignited. The fire spread quickly.
"ah…"
"Help...come and help me..."
The clothes of the defenders who did not have time to escape were quickly set on fire. With their bodies covered with fire, they screamed and rolled on the spot, and some even jumped directly from the top of the city. As for whether they would fall to death, there was no time for them to think about it. If they continued to stay at the top of the city, they would only be burned alive.
"boom…"
"Bang...bang..."
There was another explosion at the top of the city.
It is still clearly visible in the distance. The wood and firewood used for city defense were blown away in an instant, and tiles continued to fly to the outside of the city and fall.
It turned out that the oil jar that the Jiangning Mansion defenders were preparing to use for fire attack defense was ignited and exploded. The oil that flowed out ignited the gunpowder barrel next to the red cannon on the top of the city.
The blast from the gunpowder barrel even overturned the large pot used to boil the gold juice to the ground. The feces and urine flowing out of the pot were mixed with burning oil, and the smell emitted made people hiding in the distance gag when they smelled it.
At this moment, the city of Jiangning Mansion was like a purgatory on earth. The fire was so strong that it was impossible to treat people, let alone defend the city.
What is hateful is that the bandit-suppressing troops on those "Kongming Lanterns" in the sky are still filling up oil jars and making enemies of tens of thousands of people.
"Is this going to end? I am not willing to accept it..." In the city tower, Amuniputas Wangtuoba knelt on the ground and shouted.
Suddenly, a thick puff of smoke drifted into the house. The smoke brought tears to his eyes in an instant, and the strong smell made Amuniputas Wangtuoba feel completely out of breath. I vomited all my lunch food.
"Cough...cough...why, why is this happening..." Amuniputas Wangtuoba shouted almost with a cry. However, he was so insignificant compared to the heart-rending cries at the top of the city.
The tragic situation at the top of the city made the defenders hiding in the towers feel lingering fear. Fortunately, they were on duty in the tower at that time. If they were outside at this moment, they really wouldn't dare to think about it.
At this moment, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion who were outside the city looking at the various miserable conditions at the top of the city were all dumbfounded, and some even couldn't help but applaud.
I have heard of sieges, and I have seen sieges. But I have definitely never seen such a siege method. The rebels...oh, no...it's Master Wang's siege method. It is really shocking!
Even without us attacking, almost half of the Qing soldiers on top of the city were cleared.
Seeing their own troops filling in the moat like ants moving home, they felt even more happy in their hearts.
The people filling in the moat are safe, and they are also relatively safe.
"My lord, please save your health and keep the green hills. Don't be afraid of running out of firewood. The fire at the top of the city is indeed making it impossible for us to defend, but the fire has not burned out, and the rebels can't come up. The best they can do now is to fill it up easily. It's just a moat." Liu Qingfeng, the staff officer who was following Amuniputas Wangtuoba, nodded and said.
"As long as the city is still in the hands of our army, our army can't be said to be defeated. Isn't it?
Perhaps Liu Qingfeng's words had an effect. Amuniputas Wangtuoba, who was originally kneeling, stood up and said:
"Yes, Master Liu is right. As long as the city is still in the hands of our army, the rebels will never be able to break through my city."
"Cough...cough...Amuzha." Amuniputas Wangtuoba called loudly.
"Go back to the master, the slave is here..."
Grab the update, please wait half an hour for the next one! Thanks
