Chapter 148: Capture another city
General Fengming used this move to firmly hold the three cities in his hands, and also used the opportunity of resettling military households to clean up all three occupied cities. .
Everyone who had any doubts was centrally controlled by her to facilitate management and control, and no news in the city was allowed to leak out. Even the birds flying out of the city were shot dead.
Later, General Fengming received a letter from the Queen, asking her to capture the remaining two cities as soon as possible according to the original plan, and integrate the five cities into Fengqi Kingdom's defense line according to the previously established goals.
This time, along with the Flying Eagle Message, there was also a new type of weapon - the black oil jar and the trebuchet.
This was accidentally discovered while digging a well in a village in Fengming. The well digger asked the villagers to dig a well in the measured area. What they dug out was something black and oily. At first, the villagers thought it was edible, but they almost ate it. Dead man, it was later discovered that this black oil ignites when exposed to fire, and burns for a very long time. After burning, it produces black smoke, which is very irritating to the eyes.
The local people thought it was natural kerosene, so they reported it to the local government. The yamen sent someone to check and reported the discovery of the natural kerosene well step by step. When it was in the hands of the Queen, ripples You can immediately recognize that this is unprocessed petroleum crude oil, which still has a certain lethality.
Then she asked the minister of the Ministry of Industry to make an earthen jar containing oil, as well as a corresponding long-range trebuchet, in order to capture the remaining two cities as soon as possible.
General Fengming first received a message from the Queen, and then received an urgent message from the eldest princess. She immediately adjusted her strategy and changed the previous defensive-oriented combat method. In the Panlong Kingdom When the army attacks, organize the army to counterattack head-on.
On the night when the battle ended, General Fengming mobilized his capable men and launched a surprise attack on the fourth city at dawn when people were most sleepy.
Because of the blessing of crude oil tanks and the addition of long-range trebuchets, General Fengming first launched a wave of crude oil fire tank attacks, casting a net over a large area to disperse the defenders, and then took the opportunity to attack when the opponent was in chaos. city.
Of course, internal cooperation is also indispensable. They took advantage of the confusion of the Longxi City defenders and failed to replenish their manpower in time. They directly killed the soldiers guarding the gate, opened the city gate, and let Fengqi's army Go straight in and seize the opportunity.
Of course, the female soldiers of Fengqi Kingdom also paid a certain price, with thousands of people killed and injured. Several internal agents who opened the city gate were also hacked to death by the Panlong Kingdom soldiers who reacted. , but General Fengming still rushed to end the battle before reinforcements from the Panlong Kingdom arrived.
A group of soldiers from the Panlong Kingdom rushed to support them. When the army arrived at the fourth city that was raided, they only saw the gate closing slowly, as if mocking them for being late.
“MD, it’s too late!”
"General, what should we do now? Attack or not?"
"Didn't you see that they have already occupied the city? We are a step too late. If we go up now, we will die!"
On horseback The general on top said with an ugly expression.
After all, the other party also experienced a war, and the battlefield in front of the city didn't even have time to clean up.
"But...if we don't take any action, the emperor will blame us"
"Hmph! The emperor's bastard, whose hair is not fully grown, actually dared to send his younger brother to kill the queen of Fengqi Kingdom. If you dare to do it, don't get caught. Now he is caught by that old woman of Fengqi Kingdom. It’s strange that people can swallow this breath!”
“General, be careful!”
“You, you, and you, as the vanguard, will try to attack the city. If there is a breakthrough, send a message, and I will lead the army to press forward. If there is no breakthrough, you will withdraw as soon as possible.
Then say that we received the distress message too late, and Longxi City has been occupied. No one cooperates with our army and we cannot regain control of Longxi City."
The three people who were named looked bad. They were obviously cannon fodder to explore the way. Unfortunately, the military order was difficult, so they could only do it. Neng sneaked over with his soldiers and began to look for the best opportunity to attack.
This time the female generals on the walls of Longxi City had just experienced a big battle, and they had to control the people in the city from causing chaos, so Fengming decided not to fight and just defend the city, but she didn't want to take advantage of these reinforcements. It is bound to leave a deep impression on them. Therefore, when the opponent sneaked over, they pretended not to notice the vanguard of thousands of people. When the opponent approached the shooting range, Feng Ming immediately ordered to adjust the angle of the trebuchet. This time, the crude oil wrapped in rainproof cloth was thrown.
There were holes in the tarpaulin, and the parabola thrown by the trebuchet just leaked out the crude oil, raining it on the Panlong Kingdom soldiers who were advancing as a team, and finally hit the soldiers. The most densely populated place.
“What is this?”
“It’s black and has a strange smell! Is this their feces?”
"I feel something is wrong"
The non-lethal rainproof cloth fell into their midst, which surprised the soldiers of Panlong Kingdom. However, before they could figure out what was wrong, countless people came with Arrows of fire rained down on them.
The next breath, the crude oil was ignited and turned into a sea of fire, like a purgatory on earth. The soldiers of Panlong Kingdom rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but they were stained with black crude oil, and their bodies The burning area is larger.
The screams of Panlong Kingdom’s soldiers made both sides feel numb.
General Fengming frowned slightly, looked at the battle situation below, and directly ordered to the deputy general beside him:
"Give them a good time!"
"Yes, General!"
The next moment, the rain of long-range arrows fell again, covering the entire sea of fire, making those shrill and howling sounds and the running Pyro were completely lifeless.
Looking at all this, the Panlong Kingdom soldiers' eyes deepened with hatred, but no one came forward to support them. They could only watch helplessly as the three vanguard teams were almost completely annihilated.
“It is said that women have the most vicious hearts, they are so cruel!”
The general of Panlong Kingdom clenched the reins in his hands and said with eyes splitting.
Not long after, the news that Longxi City was captured also spread back to Panlong Kingdom and Fengqi Kingdom at the same time.
New Emperor Panlong roared at the court meeting for a long time, but no one dared to answer. Three days later, he received the credentials of Fengqi Kingdom. This time, the eldest princess's tone became stronger and tougher.
Either publicly apologize and compensate for the losses, or Fengqi Kingdom continues to attack the city. By then, there is no telling how many cities will be occupied.
"Your Majesty, they are a naked threat."
Zhang Zhang's face was also ugly, as if he didn't expect the other party to be so strong this time.
"Zhang Aiqing, do you have any better ideas?"
New Emperor Panlong asked, rubbing his forehead.
“We can form an alliance with the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom and join forces to deal with the Fengqi Kingdom.”
“Humph! They have a wait-and-see attitude until now, hoping that we will both lose in the fight. They are good Come pick it up ready-made.”
