Chapter 428 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 39
Large amounts of liquor and kerosene were thrown out by the catapults. Due to time constraints, the amount of liquor and kerosene they brought up was limited, but this was precisely an advantage.
With the cooperation of the soldiers, the catapults fired continuously and all the catapults were thrown out in just a few breaths.
Today's catapults can throw catapults as far as 150 meters, and can easily throw those liquor and kerosene into the enemy.
Ling Xi raised his hand, "Archers, get ready."
The next moment, archers came out one after another, and the arrows on their bows were not simple arrows, but arrows with fire.
"Shoot." Ling Xi waved his hand violently.
Sparks were flying all over the sky, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
As soon as the flaming arrows landed among the enemy troops, they instantly ignited the liquor and kerosene that had just shattered among the enemy troops.
The flames suddenly jumped up and spread rapidly.
Coupled with today's wind direction, the fire spread faster.
Soon, there were cries of pain and wails from the enemy, and the howls echoed throughout the battlefield.
Ling Xi handed the medicine she brought to Xie Yun, pointed at the fire in the distance, and said, "Xie Yun, shoot it there. My medicine powder will explode when it encounters heat."
Before Xie Yun could take action, a loud "boom" suddenly came from the enemy's camp, and then a huge heat wave swept across the entire enemy camp.
Even Ling Xi, who was standing on the city wall, could feel the scorching heat.
Ling Xi immediately knew where the noise came from. It was the artillery brought by the Northern Barbarians, but before they could be thrown towards Yongcheng, they were ignited by the fire in their camp and exploded.
This is called reaping what you sow.
Ling Xi's morale was boosted and they couldn't help but cheer.
At this time, Xie Yun was drawing the bow, and tied to the arrow was the medicine given to her by Ling Xi.
There were bursts of arrow shooting sounds, and arrows carrying medicine powder were shot out.
Xie Yun's archery skills were as good as his boastful abilities, and it was no problem for him to hit the target from a hundred paces away.
Even though they were far away, the arrows shot by Xie Yun were enough to reach the place where the fire of the Northern Barbarian Army was burning.
Ling Xi looked at the burning Northern Barbarian Army and knew that this method could not be used for too long.
The weather is unpredictable. If the wind direction suddenly changes, then Yongcheng will be in trouble.
Even if this method was enough to damage one-third of the enemy's soldiers, the enemy's number would still be more than twice theirs.
But compared with the several times before, it is much better.
After the fever lasted for a while, Ling Xi's medicine began to take effect.
The group of Northern Barbarians began to scream in pain again.
Ling Xi's medicine is not simple, and they have to bear the consequences.
Seeing this, Ling Xi said to Yang Shao, "General Yang, if the Northern Barbarian Army attacks the city later, let the King's Army leave the city and let the soldiers of Yongcheng stay there. The people of the Medicine King's Army have the antidote and will not be affected, but the soldiers of Yongcheng do not have it and will be affected."
Yang Shao was already full of admiration for Ling Xi at this moment, so no matter what Ling Xi said, he agreed: "Yes, girl."
After burning for an unknown amount of time, a part of the Northern Barbarian Army finally escaped from the burning fire and began to attack Yongcheng.
But it was obvious that the initial grandeur was gone and it looked in a mess.
Xie Yun immediately turned around and wanted to lead his men down the tower, but Ling Xi stopped him, "Senior Brother Xie Yun."
Xie Yun turned around and looked at her.
Ling Xi worriedly warned: "Brother, be careful." Xie Yun smiled: "Don't worry, but when I go back, you have to give me a few more jars of the wine you brewed."
Ling Xi assured, "Okay, I'll give you five jars when I get back."
Hearing this, Xie Yun turned around gracefully and waved his hand towards Ling Xi: "Ling Xi, you must keep your word."
Ling Xi smiled helplessly. It was already this late, but this guy still had such a good attitude.
Xie Yun and General Gan led their soldiers out of the city.
They cannot stay in Yongcheng forever, otherwise they will be in a passive position when the enemy attacks the city.
Moreover, it is not clear whether the artillery of the Northern Barbarian Army has been completely destroyed.
Just as Ling Xi was thinking about this, he saw that there were still three catapults on the opposite side of the Northern Barbarian Army that had not been burned by the fire.
What’s even more outrageous is that each of the three catapults was equipped with a cannon.
Ling Xi had a bitter face. How come the fire didn't blow up all the artillery pieces, leaving some behind? How could this happen so unrealistically?
Several cannons wrapped in fireworks fired towards the city wall. Ling Xi was quick-witted and quickly pulled Yang Shao to the ground.
The shells exploded on the nearby city wall with bright red flames, shaking the entire building.
Ling Xi gritted her teeth. She had just been considering whether she should make it rain to put out the fire for the sake of the innocent people in Yongcheng.
But at this moment she just wanted to make the fire over there bigger, and it would be best if she could burn them all to death.
But this idea is ultimately just a thought. If the fire is not extinguished, according to the current situation, if the wind direction changes, Yongcheng will be in trouble.
She couldn't just burn a bunch of scum to death without considering the safety of tens of thousands of people in Yongcheng.
Ling Xi stood up again, stood on the city wall, and watched Xie Yun charging into the enemy army below.
Xie Yun probably discovered the catapult that was throwing cannons, so he wanted to rush over and kill the Northern Barbarian soldiers in front of the catapult, but he was blocked by the layers of Northern Barbarian troops, and even looked like he was being besieged.
Ling Xi's face changed and she immediately picked up a bow beside her.
Drawing the bow, pulling the string, and shooting the arrow, the movements were smooth and flowing. With just a glance, Ling Xi aimed at the target.
In an instant, an arrow carrying a sharp murderous aura was shot out, hitting one of the Northern Barbarian soldiers who were besieging Xie Yun straight and accurately, and pierced his chest without any error.
The northern barbarian soldier died instantly and stopped breathing.
Without pausing, Ling Xi shot arrow after arrow, and in a moment he eliminated all the northern barbarian soldiers who were besieging Xie Yun.
A safe area finally appeared next to Xie Yun.
After Xie Yun was safe below, he looked up at Ling Xi who was holding a bow on the city wall and could not help but be stunned.
Oh my, Ling Xi usually hides his incompetence.
He is so good at archery on the battlefield, and never misses his arrow. He is a great archer!
With Ling Xi's escort, Xie Yun's actions went extremely smoothly.
He successfully killed the northern barbarian soldiers beside the catapult, and even cut off a very important part of the catapult with one sword, making the catapult unusable.
Due to Ling Xi's mighty power, the Northern Barbarian Army did not dare to come towards Xie Yun.
After making sure that Xie Yun was temporarily safe, Ling Xi aimed his arrow at other people in Wang's army. When he saw that a soldier of Wang's army was in danger, he shot an arrow.
When Wang Jun and his men learned that Ling Xi had saved them, they suddenly felt like they had a backbone.
It seemed as if someone was protecting them. The morale of Wang's army grew higher and higher, and they fought the Northern Barbarian Army more and more fiercely.
