When the Xianbei army was 500 steps away from Ping Cheng, Hao Zhao raised the red flag in his hand!
The messenger who was in charge of commanding the archers immediately shouted when he saw the red flag,""Archers, get ready!"
With a command, all the archers drew the arrows from their backs and nocked them on their bows.
When the Xianbei army was three hundred steps away, Hao Zhao's red flag pointed forward.
The messenger gave the next order,"Draw your bow!" Aim!"
All the archers drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows were pointed at a 45-degree angle in the air.
When the Xianbei army was only 150 steps away from the city walls, Hao Zhao waved the red flag in his hand.
"Release!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
In the next moment, tens of thousands of arrows were fired!
If someone were to look at the sky from below the city wall, they would find that the sky had suddenly darkened, and the sky was filled with arrows flying forward…
The arrows that fell in a parabola were the most lethal. When the Xianbei army was about a hundred and twenty steps away, a barrage of arrows flew towards them!!
Chi chi chi…
There was no way to dodge the rain of arrows. The Xianbei soldiers at the very front seemed to have been stopped by a barrier 120 steps away, unable to advance any further.
However, the charge of tens of thousands of soldiers could not be stopped just because they wanted to. They could clearly see that the people in front of them had been set up like hedgehogs by the arrows, but they could only charge forward!
"Release!"
Before the Xianbei army could catch their breath, the second wave of arrows came!!
The third wave, the fourth wave…
Ping Cheng's arrows seemed to be endless!
Even if some Xianbei soldiers managed to get within a hundred steps of the city wall, they would be shot to death before they could even touch it.
After several waves of attacks, they were all pushed back by the arrows that filled the sky.
Seeing this scene from afar, Chief Kui was so angry that he cursed the Xianbei tribe leader beside him.
However, he knew that it was useless to just scold him, so he said to Bu Dugen, who was standing beside him,""Pass down the order! Who could take twenty steps forward! Ten gold coins! Fifty steps forward! A hundred gold coins! A hundred steps forward! 500 gold coins! The first to climb the city wall! He was directly promoted to the leader of a tribe!!”
"Yes! Chanyu!"
Bu Dugen immediately went down to relay the order.
With such a great reward, there would definitely be brave men. Soon, the Xianbei people organized the next wave of attacks!
This time, the shieldmen were at the front. With them leading the way, the Xianbei army was finally 30 steps away from the city wall.
If the shieldbearers in front were unfortunately hit, there would be new Xianbei soldiers holding shields and pushing forward.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the city wall, the Xianbei soldiers revealed excited smiles!
They weren't the only ones laughing. Hao Zhao saw the Xianbei soldiers getting closer and closer, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Did they think that they could attack just because they were close to the city wall?
Too naive!
About 30 steps away from the city wall, Hao Zhao had already ordered the soldiers to use a thick layer of withered grass to cover the ground and cover it with a thin layer of soil. If the withered grass came into contact with a spark, it would immediately burn!
At this moment, Hao Zhao took out a white flag and raised it high.
When the messenger who was observing Hao Zhao saw the flag, he immediately shouted to the soldiers who were already prepared,"Prepare the oil tank!"
Then, the soldier stood up with a jar tied to a long rope.
These jars were filled with stone paint, which was also oil. Hao Zhao had specially asked Yu Chen to get it, but there was not much of it. Each soldier responsible for throwing the oil cans only had two or three jars.
But it was enough!
After the jar was filled with oil, it was very heavy. With a little strength, it could be thrown thirty to forty steps. And at this distance, where the weeds were cut…
Seeing more and more Xianbei soldiers approaching the city wall, twenty steps, ten steps…seeing the Han army's attack slow down, these Xianbei soldiers actually began to charge towards Ping City.
At this moment, Hao Zhaobai pointed his flag forward, and the messenger immediately pointed at the oil tank."Throw!" The soldier who had raised his hand ordered.!”
Whoosh...
After circling in the air a few times, the soldiers threw the oil cans down the city wall with all their might!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Some of the oil tanks fell on the Xianbei soldiers 'heads and some on the ground, but the oil in the tanks leaked out.
Just as some Xianbei soldiers were still wondering what this black sticky thing was, Hao Zhao raised his red flag. However, his red flag was rolled up.
The messenger immediately ordered the archer,""Prepare the rockets!"
The archer immediately pulled out the arrow wrapped in oilcloth and lit it up, aiming at the weeds thirty steps away.
Seeing that all the archers were ready, Hao Zhao waved his red flag…
"Release!"
A wave of rockets flew towards the target…
As the Xianbei soldiers charged forward, they kicked away the thin layer of soil on top of the withered grass. The fire arrows flew out and set the withered grass on fire!
Whoosh!
As there was oil on the ground, the withered grass instantly burned!
A wall of fire formed thirty steps away, but this little bit of fire was not enough to trap these Xianbei soldiers.
Hao Zhao waved the white flag again, and the soldiers threw out all the remaining oil cans.
However, most of the oil cans thrown behind were vegetable oil or animal oil.
Unlike oil, this oil needed to reach a certain temperature before it could burn.
Now, the temperature of the fire wall had clearly reached the required temperature. After the oil cans were thrown out, they immediately burned!
Some of the Xianbei soldiers who were covered in oil also started to burn when they came into contact with the sparks. They screamed and rolled around on the ground…
As the fire grew bigger and bigger, it completely separated the Xianbei soldiers into two parts.
The Xianbei soldiers trapped between the wall of fire and the city wall were completely dumbfounded!
What should they do now?
Some soldiers tried to rush out of the fire wall, but before they could reach it, they were forced back by the high temperature of the flames.
How could Hao Zhao let them leave? He immediately ordered the archers to shoot these Xianbei soldiers to death.
These Xianbei soldiers who could not fight back were all killed just like that!
The Xianbei soldiers outside the wall of fire couldn't get in either. They could only watch as the people inside were slaughtered like animals…
The flames did not dissipate for a long time.
The morale of the Xianbei soldiers was continuously reduced. Chief Kui knew that it was impossible to continue the attack today. He immediately sounded the bell and withdrew his troops. He set up camp not far from Ping City and waited for the morale to recover before continuing the attack…
He, Kui Tou, could be considered to have clashed with Hao Zhao!
However, today's battle made the Xianbei feel extremely ashamed.
After attacking for a day, they did not even touch the city wall of Ping Cheng County…
