Chapter 574

The Jingzhou army, like a fierce tiger, slowly approached the head of Yuyang city. It was not in a hurry to kill. Instead, it used momentum to intimidate the enemy in Yuyang city.

However, under the command of Li Yan, Yuyang city was united and unmoved. Instead, thousands of soldiers stood on the top of the city, motionless.

Cai Mao frowned: "this Li Yan is a little general, just, order the army to attack the city, Cai Zhong, you personally go forward to supervise the battle."

"No!"

After that, Cai Zhong rushed to the land outside the city of Yuyang, holding a yellow flag and personally supervising the war.

"Archers, get ready!"

"Fill the river!"

Tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops surrounded Yuyang city on three sides. Realizing that they could not force the enemy to surrender, they finally launched a fierce attack.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under the suppression of Jingzhou army archers' firepower, rows of Jingzhou Army soldiers, carrying wood, stone and other debris, rushed to the moat of Yuyang City, rushed to the moat, and immediately threw the debris in their hands at the moat.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Li Yan yelled, and the archers of Nanyang army on the head of the city aimed at the soldiers under the wall, which was a burst of random shooting. Jingzhou soldiers and soldiers quickly raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows falling on the head of the city like locusts.

Although the Nanyang army's arrow rain fell, but the effect was not great. After all, the Jingzhou army was a large number of people. Tens of thousands of troops kept filling the moat with debris. The moat immediately raised a large section of water level and was about to be filled.

Cai Zhong, who is in charge of the war outside the city, laughs: "the moat is filled up. It's not easy to take down Yuyang city at that time?"

However, Li Yan was still calm, just waved: "pour the oil."

"No!"

The soldiers agreed in unison, and then two or three soldiers carried a small urn together and walked to the wall. The plug was filled with thick black liquid, which had a pungent smell.

And in this group of soldiers, there are more than ten soldiers, each holding a torch, burning.

With the head and feet of the small urn inverted, the fire oil stored in the urn slowly poured down and fell on the wood and debris filled with the moat.

"Fire

More than a dozen torches were thrown down and fell on the kerosene. With a sound of "miso", the flame, which was more than three feet high, instantly jumped up, and the tantalizing temperature spread out.

"Oh, no!"

Many Jingzhou soldiers who were filling the river were startled. Some Jingzhou soldiers were even stained with kerosene, and the flames immediately burned up.

"Help

A Jingzhou army, who was inflamed on his body, turned around and ran. He threw his weapon on the ground and patted the fire with his hand. However, his body was stained with fire oil and could not beat it off. He had to rush forward and plunge directly into the Han River.

"Let's go. Don't get caught up in the oil. You can't beat it off!"

The Jingzhou army, who was filling up the river, was in a mess. They turned around and ran away for fear of being contaminated with fire oil.

Cai Zhong was furious: "what are you doing? Don't retreat. If you don't have an order, you can't go back to death. "

But even so, the Jingzhou army is still turning around and running. Are you kidding? It's crazy to be burned to death without running.

Cai Mao, who was far above the deck of the battleship, could not help but exclaimed: "this Li Yan is a character. He can burn the moat with fire oil."

And filled with the moat, the flame leaped and leaped, burning. Although the Jingzhou army had a large number of people, it was still afraid of the natural power of fire. They stepped back one after another and did not dare to go forward.

With the help of the burning oil, the Jingzhou army retreated temporarily, while the Nanyang army at the head of the city temporarily won the chance to breathe.

Li Yan immediately ordered: "carry down the wounded brothers on the top of the city and carry some arrows up."

More than ten Nanyang soldiers were injured under the rain of arrows of Jingzhou army, so they were carried down, and more siege materials were brought up. Hundreds of Nanyang troops at the head of the city were all in readiness.

Although the fire temporarily forced back the front of Jingzhou army, but as the flame gradually extinguished, Jingzhou army naturally returned.

"Fill in the river again and attack the city for me!" cried Cai Zhong angrily

Tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops came again and began to attack Yuyang city. However, Li Yan was not in a mess and his command was in good order.

"Shoot the arrow!"

The Jingzhou army and the Nanyang army came down from the city to shoot back, while the Jingzhou army rushed to the top of the city with a ladder.

"The swordsmen came forward and drove the Jingzhou army down."

Seeing the Jingzhou army gradually climbing up the city, a row of swordsmen standing behind the women's wall immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked forward. His armor was thick, and his axe was polished and shining.

At the beginning, Liu Ye was worried about the lack of attack ability, so he required that each army, that is, a thousand men army, should be equipped with 20 pairs of heavy armour to form a team of swordsmen, which is extremely useful for fighting against the enemy in the field and defending the city against the base."Kill!"

A row of swordsmen rushed forward with heavy steps, aiming at the Jingzhou soldiers who rushed up, raised their sharp knives and axes, and burst out blood immediately when they fell.

"Ah

Jingzhou soldiers screamed repeatedly, because they had to climb the ladder if they wanted to attack the city. So they wore light armour that was easy to move. How could they resist the sharp and heavy knives and axes?

In a burst of fierce attacks by the swordsmen, the Jingzhou army rushed to the city, and immediately blood flowed into a river, killing and injuring many. Since the Jingzhou soldiers had already boarded the city, the archers of Jingzhou army could not continue to shoot their arrows regardless of the enemy or the enemy. Therefore, the Jingzhou army suddenly fell into a deadlock.

If Cai Yunzhong didn't give him a chance to attack him, how could Cai give him a chance to attack?

Although Cai Zhong ordered a fierce attack, the Jingzhou army was always kept at the head of the city and was not allowed to enter. For a moment, the city was covered with bodies of Jingzhou army.

"No, if it goes on like this, it's just for nothing. I won't fight!"

As a small number of Jingzhou soldiers turned around and ran, most of the Jingzhou soldiers who had been fighting hard all of a sudden couldn't support them. They swayed their swords and turned around and ran.

Cai Zhong immediately red eyes, carrying a knife rushed forward, aimed at a fleeing Jingzhou soldiers, cut down, a head immediately fell to the ground.

"See?" Cai Zhong roared: "who dares to retreat without authorization is the end. No retreat! No - um...

Where did the defeated Jingzhou soldiers manage him? A group of people rushed over and directly knocked Cai Zhong to the ground.
