Chapter 955： Burning Lianyun Road

"Siege Engine?"

Zhang Xi stared at those appearing behind the enemy army, his eyes a little confused, because the speed of the siege vehicle was too slow.

It was not just a little bit slower than the other siege vehicles he had seen.

But he quickly ordered: "Send all crossbowmen and aim at the enemy siege vehicle!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yun ordered to go down, and all the crossbowmen at the head of the camp smashed their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy siege vehicle.

"Let go!"

Shoo!

The arrow broke through the air, the arrow rain formed, and it shot at the enemy siege vehicle instantly.

But soon there was a burst of ‘ding, ding, ding’.

All the siege vehicles hit by the rain of arrows were blocked.

"That is……"

At the same time, Yue Fei at the Central Army also saw the slowly advancing siege vehicles, and also saw a scene where his arrows were blocked.

"It's also made of fine iron stone!"

Yue Fei frowned slightly, but the craftsmen of the Liyang Dynasty had some skills, and they even used fine iron stone to build a siege vehicle.

The Nanyan Kingdom also planned to do this, but because His Majesty first ordered the creation of the Pioneer Iron Cavalry in the trapped camp and the Loyal Iron Cavalry, which has not yet been created.

He knew very well that with the defensive power of fine iron stone, ordinary arrows could not be useful.

"Immediately send all the firebolt reserves in the barracks to the head of the city and hand it over to Zhang Yun." Yue Fei ordered the lieutenant.

For the Siege Engine made of fine iron and stone, ordinary arrows will not be useful, but the fire arrows of the Nanyan Kingdom are not necessarily.

The rags on the fire arrow are soaked with special kerosene. Once ignited, unless the kerosene is burned out, or it will not stop burning.

Yue Fei didn't want the fire arrow to shoot through the siege vehicle, but he only needed the fire arrow to hit the siege vehicle while contaminating some of the kerosene on the arrow rags on the siege vehicle to ignite sparks.

When tens of thousands of sparks are together, it becomes a fire.

At that time, even if the fine iron stone cannot be melted, the high temperature generated will be enough to kill the Liyang Dynasty soldiers in the siege vehicle.

Soon, the fire arrow was sent to the head of Yingzhai City.

At the same time, the enemy's siege vehicle also advanced quite a distance, not far from the head of the camp.

"Order all crossbowmen to change into fire arrows immediately!"

Zhang Xi ordered to go down, and all the crossbowmen on the front of the city were replaced with fire arrows, and at the same time they aimed at the enemy siege vehicle.

"Let go!"

‘Thorn’

Thousands of fire arrows cut through the sky and shot at the enemy siege vehicles.

Ding Ding Ding.

The firebolt hit the siege vehicle and was unsurprisingly blocked.

But just as Yue Fei had expected before, Huoya contaminated kerosene on the siege vehicle.

The kerosene brought by a fire arrow is not to be feared, but tens of thousands of them are different.

Almost in an instant, the more than twenty siege vehicles ignited an open flame.

"Huh, still want to use this method to deal with this general's siege engine?"

When Le Chongjin saw it in the distance, he gave a cold snort, his eyes full of disdain.

As soon as his voice fell, a light blue light suddenly flowed over the siege engine that was burning with flames.

The flame went out instantly.

"Formation!"

Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes, and at the moment the light blue light passed by, he clearly felt the fluctuation of the formation.

This was also beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that the enemy's siege vehicle would even be equipped with formations.

Yue Fei, who was in the Central Army, also saw this scene, frowning slightly, he did not expect that the Liyang Dynasty would arrange a formation in the Siege Engine.

Moreover, the real purpose of this formation is definitely not to extinguish fires. Not surprisingly, it should be used to release the defensive cover to protect the siege vehicle from harm.

"Haha, look at what Yue Fei can do now!"

Here at Le Chongjin, everyone laughed and laughed.

At the same time, the siege vehicle has reached the attack range.

The front baffle of the siege vehicle opened, and a bed crossbow with cold light appeared.

"put!"

Above 20, more than 200 bed crossbows were fired immediately.

The crossbow arrows glowing with cold light shot directly at the head of Yingzhai city.

"Quickly, block the shield soldiers!"

Zhang Yun ordered immediately.

But the power of the bed crossbow could not be blocked by ordinary shield soldiers.

In a short period of time, a large number of soldiers who defended the city were shot and killed by crossbow arrows.

Fortunately, more than two hundred bed crossbows could not completely cover the city head, and some places were not covered.

"General, what shall we do?"

Zhang Xi's lieutenant asked anxiously.

Zhang Xi did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at the enemy's bed and crossbow formation. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately said: "Passing the order to the crossbowmen, let them immediately shoot the fire arrow towards the vicinity below the siege vehicle, hurry!"

"Yes!"

The remaining crossbowmen on the head of the city quickly followed Zhang Yun's order and fired the fire arrow below the siege vehicle.

Soon it caused a large amount of flames to ignite under the siege vehicle.

Those soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty who wanted to follow the siege carts immediately suffered heavy losses.

"It's a bit clever."

When Le Chongjin saw it, he sneered and said, "But unfortunately your cleverness is limited to this!"

"The siege vehicle listened to the order and continued to advance, and the subsequent infantry immediately followed!"

Le Chongjin's military order was immediately passed to the soldiers in charge of the siege vehicle through the military formation, and the siege vehicle immediately moved forward.

Le Chongjin's plan is very simple. You can make the underside of the siege vehicle burn. Is it possible that you can continue to follow the route of the siege vehicle?

As long as the siege vehicle opens the road ahead, the subsequent army can quickly keep up.

But at this time, Zhang Yun, who was at the head of Yingzhai City, took a few lieutenants to the place behind the city to stock special kerosene.

Everyone carried two huge wooden barrels filled with kerosene and went to the top of the city and said loudly, "Throw these wooden barrels to the place where the fire started!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xi took the lead, and the lieutenants followed him, and threw the wooden barrel to the place where the flame was burning.

"What is this for?"

When the soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty saw it, they all had some doubts.

But soon, these wooden barrels fell to the ground, cracked with a ‘bang’, and the kerosene inside came out.

"boom!"

When the kerosene touched those flames, it ignited directly and spread rapidly along with the flow of kerosene.

In a short period of time, it has spread far, far away, swallowing many Liyang Dynasty soldiers inside.

"That's it, hurry up, continue!"

Zhang Xi was overjoyed when he saw that it was useful, and brought a few lieutenants back to get these wooden barrels filled with kerosene.

It was not that he had never thought of asking soldiers to help, but because the camp was still far away from the burning place, ordinary soldiers couldn't throw the barrel over.

Only these generals can do it because they are warriors.

Soon, with the efforts of Zhang Xi and his lieutenant, the area not far in front of the camp formed a wall of fire even greater than before.

The siege engine also activated the formation, but all that could be done was to ensure that it did not burn, but could not extinguish other flames.

"Asshole!"

Le Chongjin was furious and was about to order the army to continue the offensive. Suddenly the lieutenant next to him said in surprise: "General, look at the left side of Lianyun Road, what is that?"

Le Chongjin was taken aback, turned his head and looked in the direction, but saw a dark shadow slowly appearing.

When his gaze condensed, he was immediately full of fear, and said in shock: "This is the navy battleship from there?"
