Li Rui forced himself to calm down and asked: "How many Hu people are attacking the city now?"

Zhang Xiong said: "There are thousands of people."

Thousands of Hu people attacked the city from the south gate, and the west gate was open, and more than a thousand Hu prisoners of war killed and set fire everywhere in the city. The situation was extremely bad. The Liangzhou army could only fight those few thousand people, and hundreds of people had been injured and killed in the daytime battle. The remaining four thousand people had to defend such a large city and resist the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Hu people. The city was completely empty and could hardly draw out mobile troops to deal with emergencies. Now the prisoners and the enemy cooperated with each other and took the South Gate, just like opening a hole in the hard and weak shell of the egg. This seemingly solid line of defense was only collapsed.

Li Rui thought for a while and asked, "If the city gate can be blocked, can we still take back the south gate?"

Zhang Xiong said: "If the city gate can be blocked, the Hu army will not be able to continue to pour in. We will naturally eliminate the Hu people who rushed into the city and regain the southern gate... But this is too difficult. The major general organized several attacks, but all failed!"

Li Rui gritted his teeth, threw away the yellow crossbow, picked up two wooden cans filled with hot tinder, and shouted: "Xu Hun, bring the oil can and come with me!"

Xu Hun, a guy with a well-developed limbs but a simple mind, picked up two wooden jars without thinking about it.

Seeing this, Lao Zheng asked, "Mr. Li Qu, what are you going to do?"

Li Rui said: "I want to burn those gangs of miscellaneous people to death!"

Lao Zheng thought for a while and shouted at Xu Hun: "Give these two cans of oil to someone else, and you can carry this bucket away!"

The barrel he pointed to was the one with Li Rui taking a few wooden cans into a ignition tank, and the wooden barrel was left with most of the barrels left.

When Xu Hun heard this, he immediately put down the oil tank in his hand and carried most of the barrel of oil. Lao Zheng directed one person to help get the remaining two cans. Seeing this, Zhang Xiong picked up the can of "black powder" that Li Rui had put aside. Beigong Jing repeatedly reminded him to protect Li Rui and protect the things he made. Although Beigong Jing didn't know what the pile of black powder made by Li Rui was useful, the power of the crossbow improved by Li Rui made him realize that this was an amazing little inventor, and the things he made were very powerful!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what’s the point, so protect it first. It’s not too late to think about it when you have time.

After Li Rui left the Arrow Tower, he walked straight towards the west gate.

Perhaps affected by the shocking changes in the city, the originally very strong defense line of Ximen is now shaking, with a large number of Hu people roaring in, and the Liangzhou army guarding the city gate was defeated step by step. More Hu people climbed the city wall on the long ladder. The Liangzhou army on the city wall was obviously unable to resist, and many people began to retreat. Li Rui ignored it, holding two oil tanks and rushed towards Ximen. Zhang Xiong caught up with him and shouted: "What do you want to do!?"

Li Rui said: "First block the enemy troops in Ximen, and then go and clean up the influx from the south!"

Zhang Xiong snatched a large shield to block the flying arrow for him, and rushed over several Hu people who rushed up to attack, and shouted: "Don't mess around! Now everyone has retreated, what are you using to block it!"

Li Rui had already stumbled to the top of the city gate, and put the can of an oil tank towards the torch. The linen that plugged the can has sucked the turbulent oil, but as soon as he approached the open flame, he immediately started to burn. He hugged the fire guy and walked to the chassis, stared at the Hu army who was roaring into the city gate, and roared: "Clog this!"

"I will burn you bastards to death!"

With the roar that was squeezed out of the lungs, he used his strength to smash the oil tank hard towards the Hu army that was swarming into the city!

Under his feet, several Hu people happened to notice that he was smashing down with something, and immediately raised a large shield to cover his body. With a bang, the wooden jar hit the shield heavily, and it was immediately split. The storm inside squirted out. When encountering open flames, the swelling burned, and the area of ​​the boss immediately turned into a sea of ​​fire. More than a dozen Hu people who were splashed with stinking oil immediately became firemen. The pain made them throw away their weapons and dance in the fire, desperately tearing the burning cloak and armor, and letting out miserable howlings from their mouths, making every Hu people shudder!

Li Rui didn't even look at it, picked up the second oil tank and lit the cloth at the mouth of the tank, and smashed it down hard.

This time, no one dared to use a shield to block it. When they saw the oil tank hit, they panic and dodged in all directions. However, it was useless. The wooden tank fell to the ground and smashed it. The fierce tinder inside splashed in all directions. When it encountered an open flame, it immediately burned violently. The person who was splashed immediately became a fireman.

Xu Hun grinned: "So it can still be played like this with strong tincture oil? I'll do it too!" He lifted the boss, which contained at least dozens of tincture oil in it, and smashed it down at the flaming ground!

boom!

The wooden barrel smashed into the sea of ​​fire and made a dull explosion. A huge black and red fireball rushed up and rushed straight up six or seven meters high. The entrance of the city gate turned into an erupting crater. Countless Hu people twisted their bodies in the sea of ​​fire and cried in pain. They stopped in fear, watching the rolling fierceness at a loss. This was not the most deadly. The most deadly thing was that when the harsh ignition oil burned, the black smoke came out. The black smoke poured into the corridor along the wind. The thick smoke rolled into the corridor, which made people suffocate. The Hu soldiers choked and coughed hard, almost coughing out their lungs. Now they were so fumbling that they couldn't even open their eyes. How could they have any combat power? In panic, they were in chaos and trampled on each other. More people were trampled to death than those who were burned!

Pei Le, the powerful general guarding the West Gate, was injured more than ten places, and less than half of the 100 elite soldiers he led. He could no longer resist and was fighting and retreating. Suddenly, he saw thick smoke rolling in the city gate corridor and the Hu people were running around. His extremely tired body surged with infinite strength and shouted: "The Hu barbarians are in chaos! Follow me to kill and take back the city gate!"

The same exhausted soldiers all roared, waved their weapons all over the gap and rushed up, rushed into the chaotic Hu people and chopped them wildly, rushing out of the city gate corridor. They cut as much as they could. Those unlucky guys were so frightened that they couldn't even open their eyes, so they could not fight back. They could only be harvested like weeds.

Most of the Hu army attacking the West Gate did not see Li Rui and Xu Hun throwing oil tanks or oil barrels. They only saw a fire suddenly rising at the entrance of the city gate, swallowing up a large number of strong warriors. They couldn't help but be shocked and screamed: "Heavenly Punishment! Heavenly Punishment! The Fire Hell is coming, and we are all going to go to the Fire Hell!" The courage faded like a tide. They rushed back and forth, completely throwing Hu Yanyan's warning behind!

Seeing this, the Liangzhou army, who were about to retreat into the inner city, immediately launched a counterattack and killed the Hu people who did not escape in time. The already shaky defense line miraculously stabilized!

Li Rui gasped for a few breaths and said to Zhang Xiong who was already stunned: "Let's go to the south gate!"

Zhang Xiong looked at him deeply and greeted him. More than ten black eagle swordsmen surrounded him and protected Li Rui and ran towards the south gate. Xu Hun picked up two iron halberds from the ground and ran behind the team.

Soon, the group arrived at the South Gate.

The south gate has become a Shura slaughterhouse. More than a thousand Hu people rushed in from the city gate and more than a thousand Hu prisoners who had no idea where to dig out weapons and took the opportunity to cause trouble to fight the Liangzhou army here. Beigong Jing commanded 400 Liangzhou troops to form a spear formation and struggled to resist the fierce attack of the Hu people. The Hu people rushed up one after another, hitting and killing in front of the spear wall, but even this could not stop their offensive. Under the rain of arrows and javelins of the Hu people, the four hundred Liangzhou troops continued to fall, and the spear wall became weaker and weaker...

Fortunately, the tower was not lost, but it was just a hard battle. Beigong Jing stood on the tower and commanded fewer and fewer soldiers to fight hard with the Hu people who were rushing like a tide. He rushed into the enemy formation several times to take the lead in rushing to boost morale. The iron armor was already filled with sharp arrows, and the traces of swords were covered with swords and slashing. It was under his encouragement that the Liangzhou army fought to the death without retreating under absolutely unfavorable circumstances and maintained this crumbling line of defense.

Under the protection of Zhang Xiong and others, Li Rui came to Beigong Jing and bowed to him: "Major General!"

Beigong Jing just stabbed a Hu man who had an axe into the city with a spear. When he turned his head, he saw Li Rui. He was stunned and then furious: "Didn't I let you retreat into the inner city? Why did you run here?"

Li Rui said: "There is a mistake in the South Gate, so I naturally have to come over and help!"

Beigong Jing cursed: "You don't even have the courage to fight with others in close combat. What can you do? It's almost the same to die! Get out of here and don't stop here!"

Li Rui didn't say anything nonsense, snatched a hot pot and lit it, and swung it towards the city gate with his breasts: "Grands, try my Molotov cocktail!"

There was no suspense. After heating and dehydration in advance, a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, phosphorus and rosin were added, and the tiny oil splashed out from the crushed tank. When it encountered an open flame, it immediately burned, turned into a flame fountain and splattered around. The splashed Hu people immediately turned into firemen, running in this battlefield of bloody mountains and seas of corpses, rolling and wailing.

Beigong Jing couldn't help but be shocked.

Li Rui turned a blind eye to the tragic situation of the Hu people and ignored them. He threw several oil tanks in a row, igniting a huge fire, and blocking the Hu people's attacking echelon into two sections. This was not over yet. Xu Hun, who had gained sufficient experience in setting fire, rushed into the nearby arrow tower with a familiarity, carried out a large bucket of hot turbulent oil, and asked Li Rui: "Qu Hou, where to throw it?"
