Daqin Engineers

Chapter 31 Fire Attack

Xuchang had a dream that night.

He dreamed that Qin Jun came to attack, and he led Zhao Jun to kill Qin Jun's blood and howling ghosts.

Xuchang stood high on the head of the city, raising his sword and smiling in the wind.

It is majestic, admired by thousands of people, noisy with gongs and drums, red flags fluttering...

Xu Chang in his dream even laughed a few times.

At this time, soldiers came to report:

"General, the big thing is not good!"

"Qin Jun is coming."

"Lieutenant, please come to command!"

Xu Chang woke up, and then sat up from the bed and cursed:

"What am I going to say."

"It was the Qin Jun who sent him to death!"

"This is a good thing, how can it be called a'big thing is bad'!"

Before the soldier could explain, Xu Chang calmly shouted:

"come!"

"Quickly hang on for me."

"Warm up another pot of wine, and celebrate with a few more glasses when I come back with a few heads."

Soldier:...

After Xu Chang walked up the city wall with a few guards, Wang Bai and others looked nervous as if they were approaching enemies.

Xu Chang frowned, reproaching slightly in his tone:

"Lieutenant, this is your fault."

"I'm waiting to be a general in the army."

"You should not be alarmed and rebellious, so that you can set an example for the army..."

Wang Bai interrupted Xu Chang's words: "General, Qin Jun seems to be on fire!"

Xuchang laughed:

"I had expected that Qin Jun would attack with fire."

"So move the wood chips and branches back."

"Look at what Qin Jun can do to me..."

Wang Bai interrupted Xu Chang again: "General, Qin Jun seems to be using a trebuchet to attack."

Xu Chang smiled again:

"It's just a trebuchet."

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

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

This is Xu Chang suddenly closed his mouth.

Because his eyes have turned to the city.

At this time, Qin Jun had ignited the fire bomb, and fireballs were scattered everywhere, as if a sea of ​​flames.

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

"Why didn't I launch stone bullets while I waited?"

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

"There are crossbowmen..."

Wang Bai just shook his head helplessly.

He didn't want to fire stone bullets.

But before Qin Jun ignited the fire, the city was completely dark, where did he go?

At this time, it was too late to stop Qin Jun.

Just hearing the sound of "creaking" under the city, hundreds of fireballs leaped into the sky and flew toward the city wall.

The flames of the fireball "whoop" in the mountain breeze, breaking through the night like a shooting star.

Then he hit the city wall with a "teng" sound.

There was a sound of broken wood and screams from all around, and Zhao Jun hurriedly counterattacked.

However, after Qin Jun fired the fire bomb, the spin was completely dark, and Zhao Jun's trebuchet was just a blind attack.

At this time, Xu Chang was panicking, hiding behind the female wall and knowing nothing.

But Wang Bai held his mind and commanded loudly:

"Catapult, prepare, don't launch it randomly!"

"Crossbowman, prepare the rocket and indicate the position for the catapult."

"The rest of the soldiers go and put out the fire!"

...

Wang Bai is worthy of being a veteran who has been fighting for many years. He immediately understood the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy.

As said before, the choice of night attack by the Qin army has wiped out Zhao Jun's condescending advantage.

Although Zhao Jun's catapult could hit farther, he couldn't see the target.

More importantly, I couldn't see the stone bullets I played.

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

The hit rate of the ancient catapult was originally not high.

It is the modified version that can barely make three of ten shots after being adjusted.

Zhao Jun ran around in the dark without adjustments, and one hit in ten shots is not bad.

Therefore, the trebuchet needs a rocket.

Use rocket lighting.

However, Zhao Jun was not prepared enough, so he prepared a batch of rockets and went down sparsely...

The firelight was like a little starlight reflected in the water, and it flashed lightly to illuminate Qin Jun's murderous face and disappeared.

At this time, Qin Jun was playing happily.

The first batch of Qin Jun shots were flint bullets.

The reason why it is a flint bullet is because it is easier to ignite only by smashing the logs on the city wall.

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

Therefore, Qin Jun's warrior adjusted the distance calmly.

The quasi-heads of the next batch of stone bullets will naturally be different.

I saw Yang Ting reined his horse and hissed in front, and then pointed the spear forward: "Let it go!"

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

There was another sound of shattered wood, and the fire on the city wall became stronger.

But this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, the next batch is linen bullets.

There are some twists and turns in making linen bullets.

The difficulty lies in Mai.

In ancient times, the workload of making clothes was quite heavy.

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

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

Shen Bing didn't expect this to be a problem. How would it be a problem in modern times?

But in ancient times when productivity was low, how could a piece of clothing be as simple as Shen Bing thought.

Although it was only the brown clothes (burlap) worn by ordinary people.

In the end, Gaoche people thought of a way:

"I knocked down a lot of Zhao soldiers when I entered the Great Wall."

"Why not take off their clothes to make fire bombs?"

Everyone was stunned.

This... is going to pick up clothes on people?

And it still started to rot and smell after a few days of death?

But no way, this linen bullet is very important to the battle.

It can even be said whether Zhao Jun can be "focused inside and out" depends on this linen bullet.

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

Shen Bing found an excuse to report to Yang Ting:

"The artilleryman needs to supervise the production of catapults and stone bullets.

"It's about collecting Mai..."

Yang Ting didn't even think about it, and replied: "You go to the producer, I have my own arrangements."

Needless to say, what kind of arrangement is self-arrangement.

This matter soon fell to Tian Bei and a group of soldiers under his control.

It is said that Tian Bei and his subordinates were smoked so that they could not eat for a whole day.

Not only that, but other troops also dodge far away like the plague.

Na Tian gritted his teeth with hatred only for Shen Bing.

Linen bullets played a role in wartime.

Balls of fire shot far away into Zhao Jun's Walled City.

Because the linen bullets are wrapped in linen, they are very elastic, and when they land, they jump around like a ball with flames.

All of a sudden fire broke out in the camp, and tents, piles of sawdust, branches, etc. were all not spared.

Zhao Jun hurried around to fight the fire.

But extinguished the fire here and there again.

After extinguishing, there is a resurgence here.

Finally, it was almost destroyed, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but found that...

A batch of fireballs flew far above his head.
