Chapter 736: The Yan Army's Defeat
"Can't hit it?"
Su Wuan asked.
The commander looked disgusted.
"Why don't you try it?"
"..."
Su Wuan felt that he was too easy-going and anyone dared to tease him.
"So how do you say we fight?"
"Have the soldiers rush forward with those hand-thrown divine thunders, rush into the city gate, ignite them, turn around and run. Didn't they do that before? When they attacked Yulei Pass?"
"Alright, then suppress the defenders on the city walls and don't let them show their heads. Our army will attack the city with all our might. As long as we can open the gate and charge in, that'll be fine!"
"As ordered!"
The Yan army began to bombard the city walls.
The Sichuan troops on the city wall hurried down to take shelter.
Su Wuan immediately commanded the Third Corps to charge upwards.
Ten thousand soldiers formed a long line and marched towards the top in a mighty force.
Because of the artillery suppression, they did not encounter any resistance. Although they were tired, they still climbed up.
Several soldiers came to the city gate with divine thunder and began to set the fuse, while the rest of the army was waiting outside.
A soldier straightened the fuse and said with a smile,
"These Sichuanese are nothing special. We defeated them so easily. It's too easy."
"That's right, but they are all cowards who hide themselves in fear when the artillery fires."
"Wait until we get in and kill them all."
"They'll probably have to roll down the hill!"
"Hahahaha!"
Several Yan army soldiers were very proud. They arranged the fuse, then ran out quickly and lit it with a fire stick.
Boom boom! !
There were several loud noises and the city gate shattered.
The soldiers shouted and rushed into the city.
However, the scene before them left them dumbfounded. Inside the city gate, the ground was full of wet firewood.
The soldiers in front felt something was wrong and wanted to stop, but the soldiers behind were eager to make a contribution and rushed in, pushing them forward.
Suddenly, a torch was thrown from inside the city into the city gate. The firewood sprinkled with kerosene exploded instantly, and the raging fire engulfed all the Yan soldiers who rushed in.
"what!!!"
"There's fire!"
"There's a fire! Get out!"
"Help me, give me a hand!"
The Yan soldiers with their bodies on fire screamed, and arrows were shot out from the city gate.
The arrows hit the struggling Yan soldiers, ruthlessly ending their lives and causing them to fall in the sea of fire.
A few who had managed to escape were covered in flames and rolled on the ground in pain, while others hurriedly used clothes and sand to help put out the fire.
The Sichuan Army's arrows and fire were so fierce that the Yan Army had no choice but to retreat to the outside sides and under the steps.
"What should I do? These damn Sichuan people are so despicable, they even set fire!"
"General, what should we do?"
The general thought for a moment and said,
"Throw the divine thunder directly at the city gate and blow all the firewood out."
"As ordered!"
There was fire inside the city gate, so the Yan army didn't need to light the fuse. They could just throw the divine thunder inside and it would ignite it.
Then, there was another loud explosion.
The powerful impact of the bomb pushed all the firewood and other items in the city gate to the inside and outside.
Flames shot up into the sky, bursting out of the city gate, carrying a lot of burning firewood onto the Yan army on the steps outside, causing everyone to curse.
Then quickly step on it to extinguish it.
There are mountains and forests all around, and if it catches fire, the consequences will be unimaginable.
I don’t know whether the enemy army will be destroyed, but the camp on the mountain behind them is probably destroyed.
Before making sufficient preparations and digging firebreaks, setting fire to the mountains is the most foolish thing to do.
The fire in the city gate was almost extinguished. This was a method similar to the hurricane fire extinguishing method, using a powerful impact force to form an airflow to instantly blow out the fire.
In addition, the combustible materials inside were flushed out, and the fire extinguishing achieved the desired effect.
The angry Yan army roared and rushed inside. They thought that the Sichuan army would flee in panic. However, before they rushed in, the Sichuan army inside rushed out first.
I saw the Sichuan troops roaring, rushing forward with spears, occupying the city gate and attacking forward frantically.
The Yan army also fought back and rushed forward.
However, the Yan army's territory only had that one step, and not many people could rush up at once, so they were actually at a disadvantage.
On the top of the city wall, because the artillery stopped attacking, the Sichuan troops also came up, drawing their bows and arrows downwards, specifically shooting the Yan troops on the steps.
The Yan army was in a long vertical row. Even if they shot arrows in retaliation, not many of them could reach the top of the city wall. On the other hand, the Sichuan army only needed to shoot and kill the Yan army within their range.
Soon, a large number of Yan troops fighting in the front were shot dead by the Sichuan army.
The Yan army on the front line suffered heavy casualties, and the troops behind could not keep up, and were soon killed by the Sichuan army.
Then, the Sichuan Army rolled over rolling logs and stones and threw them down, smashing them down along the steps. From their high position, they defeated the Yan Army and made it completely disarray.
Seeing this, the generals of the Yan army had no choice but to order a retreat.
The Yan army left behind a field of corpses and came down the mountain in a panic.
The general came to Su Wuan, looked at his sullen face, lowered his head and said in shame,
"Marshal, we are retreating. The enemy's attack is too fierce."
Su Wuan's face was gloomy and he said in a cold voice,
"Since the Yan army marched south, they have been undefeated. No matter which city they capture, it never takes more than a day.
Never been repelled by the enemy!
Today, we were repelled by the enemy. This is a disgrace to the Yan army, a great shame and humiliation!"
"General, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
the general knelt down and shouted.
"Get up first and tell me what happened in the battle."
"As ordered!"
The general recounted the entire incident in detail.
Su Wuan's face turned pale and he said,
"The Third Corps will go and rest first. The Second Corps and the Shenji Battalion will go up and bombard the city walls. Don't stop until our army breaks through!"
"As ordered!"
Soon, the Second Corps pressed forward, carrying large flags and weapons, and attacked Jiange again.
Below the city, artillery shells whizzed towards the top of the city and then exploded. The Sichuan Army immediately went down to the top of the city to avoid it.
The Second Corps of the Wushuang Army quickly climbed up and tried to break into the enemy's city gate.
However, this time, they were still hit head-on by the Sichuan Army.
The Sichuan Army stood on top of the steps, constantly rolling stones, throwing wood, and shooting arrows. Even if artillery fell on them and blew them to pieces, the Sichuan Army behind them would immediately catch up and continue to prevent the Yan Army from going up the mountain.
Those huge stones smashed heavily on the Yan army. One huge stone could kill several people and disrupt the formation.
