Chapter 288: Using Your Spear to Attack Your Shield
These black balls were projected out and actually burned in mid-air, turning into a big fireball.
The soldiers were hacking and killing the people who were climbing up, but the fireball was so bright and kept coming down like raindrops. Out of their survival instinct, they could only dodge or block it with their knives.
This delay gave the Northern Di people an opportunity. They climbed up the city wall using ladders and soon started fighting with the Yuan Dynasty soldiers.
For a moment, the situation on both sides was extremely tragic, with screams and wails ringing continuously on the city walls.
In the chaos of the fight, everyone's nostrils were filled with the strong smell of blood, and others started hacking and killing like crazy.
Perhaps he was very confident in his soldiers, the King of Shannan and his men not only did not move forward, but also retreated a little and got into a large carriage.
Indeed, this time, facing the Northern Di people with such sophisticated equipment and countless times more manpower, the guards of Wulong Town even found it difficult to parry, let alone fight back.
More and more fireballs fell from the city walls, and several of them fell on the soldiers, quickly setting their clothes on fire.
Fortunately, there was a lot of snow piled nearby, and I could put out the fire by just turning over in the snow.
But as a result, more and more Northern Di people climbed up the ladders.
This won't do. Yuxiu saw it all and was anxious. Even if she shot her arrows faster, it seemed that she couldn't stop these people from coming in continuously.
Is it true that we can’t defend this city today?
If there was a way to get rid of these ladders first, the soldiers would be able to breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.
Suddenly, a huge, shining fireball flew towards Yuxiu.
Seeing that the fireball was about to fall on her, she quickly took a step to the side, then raised the black iron bow and arrow in her hand and swung the fireball under the city wall.
Feeling the heat of the fireball at hand, Yuxiu suddenly had an idea and couldn't help laughing.
There is a way. Use your own spear to attack your shield.
Yuxiu asked someone to fetch some kerosene, quickly moved over, and poured the kerosene mixed with the ladder down.
The ladder was originally made of wood. In order to achieve a better effect, Yuxiu secretly poured out more kerosene from the space and poured it all over the ladder.
Those Northern Di people who were climbing up initially thought that the Yuan people above had poured some water on them, and they didn't take it seriously. However, as a heat wave hit them, before they could react, they were enveloped by burning flames.
Kerosene was poured from the top of the ladder. Once the fire started burning, the entire ladder became a fire ladder, and those people became a fireball.
Seeing that the plan worked, Yuxiu repeated the same trick and poured some kerosene on the other two ladders.
This time she didn't need to pick up the fireball. Xu Yunzhe quickly knocked down the fireball coming from the opposite side with his big knife, and it landed right on the ladder that had just been doused with kerosene.
Now it worked. The three ladders were turned into fire ladders. There were no more Northern Di soldiers climbing up in an endless stream. Those who had climbed up the city wall before were quickly hacked to death with everyone's concerted efforts. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yunxuan, you are still quick-witted..."
Yao Linzi wiped the blood off his face and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
There was a long cut on his arm, and blood was constantly oozing out, but he had no time to deal with it.
The situation of the others was similar to Yao Linzi's. They all had some injuries on their bodies, and some had many large blisters from the fire. Fortunately, after some examination, although there were many injured people, some of them were seriously injured, no one had died yet.
"Everyone hurry up, there are still wounded here..."
"Bring a stretcher..."
"First bandage his wound..."
Just at this moment, the scholar Ren came up with his men. His long gown was tied up with a hemp rope that he had picked up from somewhere. He was holding a bundle of snow-white cloth strips in his hands and shouting at the top of his voice.
"I'm coming……"
"He's bleeding a lot. Let's take him to Doctor Zeng first..."
"This man has a broken arm. Take him to Doctor Lin..."
Following his shouts, the team of civilians quickly carried the injured soldiers away for treatment.
Yuxiu had already learned that the defenders of Wulong Town did not have any military doctors, but fortunately there were several doctors in the town. Whenever there was a war, those doctors would become military doctors.
Ren Xiucai didn't have much strength, but his eloquence and organizational skills were very strong. Under his leadership, the wounded were quickly properly treated, which saved Xu Yunzhe a lot of worry.
This was all thanks to Yuxiu's idea, which made him understand a truth even more clearly, that is, as a leader, you must know how to use people and make the best use of their talents, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
The Northern Di people probably did not expect that their chariots and ladders would be reduced to ashes by a fire, and those who were in charge of the catapults were so shocked that they were stunned for a while.
King Shannan also got the news quickly and got out of the carriage, looking at the city wall with a vicious look as if he was filled with poison.
They took a lot of effort to make this chariot ladder, and they lost a lot of warriors on the way here. They originally planned to use it to attack Black Bear Pass, but they didn't expect to use it in this small town of Wulong.
He was already hated by the people of Wulong Town because of the death of the Second Young Master, and this was just adding fuel to the fire. He no longer cared about the Black Bear Pass, and he had to massacre all the people in Wulong Town first before he could dissipate the anger in his heart.
As he gave the orders, the catapults not only threw more stones and fireballs, but soon a larger catapult was pulled out.
The stones thrown by this catapult can directly jump over the city wall and throw both stones and fireballs into the town.
Seeing this scene, the people on the city wall were ready to resist, and they quickly sent orders down, asking the people to be careful and take shelter.
"You bastard! This isn't going to end yet, is it?"
Yuxiu had accidentally got her hair singed while trying to help a wounded person who had fallen to the ground to shoot away a fireball. She was feeling very angry, and when she saw the other person behaving like this, she immediately flew into a rage.
"I'm not angry, you guys think I'm a sick cat, right?"
With her loud shout, everyone on the city wall was stunned.
Yuxiu snatched the big knife from Xu Yunzhe beside her, tapped her toes lightly, and jumped straight down from the high city wall.
