Chapter 252 The Burning Ancient Capital 1

Beigong Jing took the water bag from Pei Yue and opened it. He drank a few sips of the well water that had just been dug, and then handed it to the child: "Drink some water, don't choke."

The child's mouth was stuffed and he was really choking. He took the water bag, but did not drink it directly. Instead, he skillfully turned out a large piece of broken bowl from the corner, poured some water into the bowl, and drank it all. After eating and drinking, he touched his stomach, showed a satisfied smile, looked at Beigong Jing with his head tilted, and said, "You general are quite reasonable. Well, for the sake of giving me food and drink, I won't blame you!"

Such a small person actually told a fully armed general that he would not blame him. He looked quite funny. Beigong Jing couldn't help but smile and asked, "Child, where is your family?"

The child looked gloomy: "I'm separated."

Beigong Jing was stunned: "Are you separated?"

The child said: "Well. Before the Hu people siege the city, we planned to escape from the city, but we were besieged by robbers and were dispersed. I had to find a place to hide. After the robbers left, I couldn't find my family anymore."

Beigong Jing asked: "Have you never contacted your family?"

The child looked like he was about to cry: "Now the city is full of robbers. I dare to walk on the street alone during the day. I may be kidnapped and turned into a pot of broth. I can't hide, so how dare I find my family!"

Beigong Jing felt pity, and reached out to rub his dirty hair, and sighed: "It's so pitiful... Who is your father's name? Where is he? I'll send someone to escort you back."

The child was overjoyed and said, "Can you really send someone to take me back? That's great, I'll tell you, my home is..."

Boom!

A sudden loud noise interrupted his words. A stone ball with flame flew from the ball, hitting the house where they were hiding, and knocking down a side of the wall. The fragments of the wall, beams, eaves, tiles and other messy things fell like rain. The smoke and dust in the house rolled, scaring him to his face pale and screaming, and how could he speak.

Beigong Jing reacted very quickly. As soon as the stone ball hit the wall, he reached out and picked up the little devil who could only scream. He kicked the two pieces of the wall that had smashed out with both legs, and then rolled out two or three feet away from the ground, avoiding the tiles and bricks that poured down like an avalanche, as well as a beam that fell from the dusty house with this little dot.

As soon as he rushed out of the broken house, two more stone bullets were slashed down with long tail flames, and almost at the same time it hit the broken house that had been smashed to pieces. The whole house was razed to the ground with two bangs. It has to be said that the soldiers of the Huns and Han Kingdom really performed well. You must know that the accuracy of the trencher is very poor. It is okay to bombard the city wall one or two hundred meters away. If you go far, it depends on luck. Now three stone bullets have landed in this house one after another, which almost smashed Beigong Jing and several black eagle swordsmen into meat paste. Their luck is so good that they can buy lottery tickets and will definitely win the first prize.

Beigong Jing looked up at the sky and saw stone bombs with flames flying over the city wall and falling into the city, and they were all concentrated in the area where he was. Although the accuracy was not good, the firepower was really intimidating.

Pei Yue's face turned pale: "Those macaques seem to know that the major general is here!"

Beigong Jing said, "So what if you know? Their luck is a little worse after all." Put down the child and said to him, "It's very dangerous here. Hurry up and find a place to hide... Have you seen the city wall? Run over and squat under the city wall, and those stone bullets will not hit you!"

The child was pursing his mouth and burst into tears. He wanted to say something but couldn't speak. Beigong Jing had no time to coax him, and rushed towards the city wall with Pei Yue and others in the hail-falling stone bombs.

A stone bullet fell from the sky, hit the ground and then bounced up, heading straight to Beigong Jing's chest. Beigong Jing's reaction was inevitably slower than a beat, and the stone bullet hit him without reacting. A black eagle swordsman following him suddenly pushed him with his shoulder and flew him out, while covering his chest with a shield. The series of movements were as fast as lightning, without any hesitation.

Bang!

The big shield accurately blocked the stone bullet that broke through the air. It weighed only a dozen pounds, and the high-speed rock bullet could not be blocked by a shield. With a loud bang, the big shield was shattered. The stone bullet speed did not decrease, hitting his chest heavily, smashing his upper body to pieces, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Beigong Jing got up and saw the black eagle swordsman's half-broken corpse that was knocked out a few feet away. His eyes turned red. He bit his teeth hard and did not stop and continued to run forward. Pei Yue let out an angry low roar, but also did not stop. He surpassed Beigong Jing a few steps, blocked him with a shield, and protected him to run forward.

The group quickly arrived at the city wall, but did not rush up, but instead clasped against the city wall to avoid the stone balls that were hit by hail. Through the city wall, they could hear the roar of stone scattered from outside the city, and the dull roar of heavy stone bombs hitting the city wall, and even felt the vibrations that followed. The continuous roar from the city wall, and the groups of stone bombs flying overhead, can be imagined that the Hun Han army must have been like rain, and they were about to bury Luoyang with stone bombs.

In fact, it is not just this section of the city wall, but the same is true for the Huns and Han troops in other directions. Hundreds of catapults, hundreds of bed crossbows and stone crossbows, bombarding Luoyang City. The crossbow arrows and stone bullets were as dense as wind and rain, shaking the devastated city wall. Luoyang City Wall was like a weak hull beaten by waves, trembling under the ruthless bombings, and wailing, and may fall apart at any time.

I don’t know how long it took, but the terrifying stone rain finally stopped. Someone on the city wall shouted: “The Hulu is coming!”

Beigong Jing quickly climbed the city wall and looked out through the shooting holes of the arrows. He saw countless Lu Gongbu, rushing car, toad car, and ladder car slowly approaching the city wall under the vigorous push of a large number of civilians. Tens of thousands of Hun Han archers were arching bows and arrows just a few dozen steps away from the city wall, and shot dense rain of arrows towards the city wall. The Liangzhou army supported the shield to cover its body. The sharp arrows fell densely on the shield. The sound of tuk-kong makes people feel like raindrops hitting the wooden basin.

In a blink of an eye, the shield was filled with sharp arrows!

Under the cover of arrow rain, the Hun army, as dense as ant, approached the city wall. The Liangzhou army on the city wall began to counterattack, and strong bows and crossbows were called over. Thousands of continuous bows spewed out deadly short arrows at the enemy, sweeping down the Hun Han army like cutting wheat. The powerful crossbows were extremely accurate and powerful. Even if they were wearing iron armor, it would be difficult to escape from its attack. Under the triple attack of strong bows, powerful crossbows and javelins, a large number of Hun Han soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. They were still screaming, but their big feet stepped directly over them, and many people were trampled to death.

A large number of Lv Gongbus approached the city wall.

The Liangzhou Army officer roared in a hoarse voice: "Stone crossbow, prepare to launch a turbulent oil tank!"

More than a dozen stone crossbows slowly turned and aimed at the Lu Gongbu. The loading hand filled the crock pots filled with hot tins into the chute and ignited the cloth at the entrance of the can.

Bang!

A Lu Bus made of hardwood, two fly bridges wrapped in iron were placed down, and steadily mounted on the city wall. The soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed out and roared towards the city wall.

However, with a "release", a clay pot was suddenly launched by a stone crossbow, flew into the inside of the Lu Bus from the wide open door, and it was smashed to pieces. With a sound of panthers, the flames soared into the air. The upper layer of the Lu Bus was filled with a sea of ​​fire. All the soldiers who were about to rush up to the city walls turned into firemen, dancing in the flames, and wailing extremely shrill. They tried desperately to tear their armor and wanted to get rid of the fire-ridden thing, but how could the armor be so easy to take off? Before they could remove the armor, they had already fallen down because of the suffocation caused by the burning of the flames.

A few smarter ones jumped down from the fly bridge with a fire. If they fell down at such a height, they would definitely be crushed to pieces, but this was just a moment, and it was better than being burned to death!

The dozen or so stone crossbows kept firing, shooting fierce ignition oil tanks at Lu Gongche. If they didn't hit, they would be lit into a torch immediately. No soldier on the upper level could escape. The lethality of this weapon was so fierce that it was intimidating.

A mile away from the battlefield, Liu Cong stood on a slope and stared at the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying. Seeing Lu Gong cars ignited one by one, a large number of soldiers wailed miserably in the flames, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly and said, "The firearms of the Jin people are very powerful!"

Liu Yao snorted: "There are only these weapons they can rely on! I want to see how many secret weapons they have!"

Liu Cong smiled: "Not many more! They have already run out of energy!"

Liu Cong guessed correctly. The Liangzhou Army had no more fire oil tanks on hand. The number of this thing was originally very limited, and it was consumed a lot in the battle of Yiyang. In addition, the fierce offensive and defense of the Luoyang city wall lasted for more than ten days, how much could it be left? After burning more than twenty Lu Gongs, this weapon with a fierce lethality was finally exhausted. One after another, one Lu Gongs mounted the flying bridge onto the city wall. The First-Chong Warriors with helmets and armor swayed their soldiers to rush up to the city wall. The Liangzhou Army was as brave as ever, with spears as dense as reeds, and stabbed them when they saw people, one stabbed one, and two stabbed them.

There were constantly ladders on the city wall. The flexible Hu soldier bit a long knife in his mouth and held a round shield to block the sharp arrows pouring from the city wall. She climbed up. Looking around, the city wall was filled with Hu people, like ants on the wall!
