Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 197: The intimidation of the flying artifact, the chaos in the army, and the divine fire

There was no way, they just knew about the opponent's flying object, which could detect the enemy's intelligence and see the scenes in the city from the sky, but they didn't know exactly what it meant and how to see it.

No one knows how he did the investigation, no one knows how he saw his side of the intelligence, all of this is unknown, and they even have no means of defense.

After all, people fly in the sky, and you can only shoot them directly with a bow and arrow, but this thing can fly and is also very flexible in the sky.

Their archers couldn't shoot at the opponent at all, and even some crossbows were brought in, which made it difficult to attack.

Because the bed crossbow also needs to be aimed, and the aiming time is very long. This black thing flying in the sky is very flexible, like a big bird, and the bed crossbow cannot aim at the opponent.

Especially after flying into the sky, it was just a black dot that they couldn't see. It could be said that they knew that the opponent had a flying artifact, but how to deal with it or how to prevent it, the Jin Army had no idea.

Some literati and ministers previously said that this thing is just a Kongming Lantern, just a thing to scare people. It can indeed fly, but in fact they don't know anything, they just spread it like this.

To put it bluntly, according to these literati and ministers, this black flying artifact is just a deceptive trick, nothing more than a ghost created by quacks and warlocks.

It is difficult to reach the level of elegance and is not worth mentioning.

Especially the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty even wrote poems to mock the Mongols, saying that the big black bird was just a big kite.

The Mongolians think that by painting a pair of eyes on a kite, they can see the city below, but they are just deceiving themselves.

Many generals of the Jin Kingdom thought so, even if they received accurate information, because this was even more unbelievable than the things about ghosts and gods.

The whole night, the guard of Lintao Prefecture did not sleep a wink. He kept sitting on the tower, fearing that the Mongols would come to sneak attack and attack at night.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that he yawned and called his lieutenant. Let him keep an eye on the city defense and go back to rest for a while and come back at noon.

"Sir, please feel free to go back and rest! I will leave this place to the humble duty. During the day, I will keep everyone in high spirits and not relax at all." said the deputy general.

The general didn't sleep all night, but he still did his duty. He was responsible for the defense for a short while during the day.

Lintao City has high walls and wide walls, and the troops are well-equipped. Even if the Mongols attack for several months, they will not gain anything. Just like the Song people, they will return without success.

However, just when the guard was planning to go back and rest. Suddenly there was a loud horn sound outside the city.

Large numbers of Mongolian soldiers began to line up outside the city. Dozens of catapults were rolled out, looking like they were about to launch a massive attack.

"Quick! Pass my military order and put the entire army on alert. All civilians will temporarily hide under the city tower. All soldiers will stand on the city wall for me. Rolling logs, falling rocks, and hot oil will all be prepared for me." The guard of Lintao Prefecture saw it. This scene outside the city immediately made him sleepless.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the siege, the Mongols were about to launch a massive attack. In that case, let’s do it! We have prepared a lot of things to deal with the Song people's attack before, and today is just the time for you to have a taste.

Soon, the catapult of the Mongolian army was pushed to a place only [-] steps away from the city wall. A large number of shield soldiers began to protect the catapult, but strangely, they did not see the stones used by the Mongols to throw food. , or some hot oil or something.

If you want to increase the power of the catapult, it is best to wrap it with a layer of linen cloth. Pour hot oil on it and ignite it to make it more destructive when thrown.

But the guard of Lin Zhaofu looked at the tower for a long time, but he didn't see where the Mongolian hot oil and stones were placed. All he saw was large khaki cloth bags and neatly placed horses. Together, the large blocks were piled into a square and placed a hundred steps away from the stone-throwing cart.

"What is this? Are the Mongols going to throw this into the city? What are these? Are they filled with rocks?" the deputy general's expression changed and he asked.

"Impossible! It is said that when the Mongols attacked Xixia this time, they used a very powerful weapon, similar to the flint cannon sent to others, and the sky-shattering cannon, which are all firearms.

This is probably a new type of firearm that was invented by the Mongols. "The guard said.

They had also heard about the new firearms used by the Mongols, and even a type of hot oil that could not be doused with water.

They could understand that a new firearm was very powerful, but was there anything that couldn't be extinguished with water?
  What the hell is this? They really didn't understand, and some Xixia soldiers who ran out even said that this golden oil that could catch fire was given to the Mongols by God.

Genghis Khan claimed to be. The descendant of the golden-armored divine general, and this golden-armored divine general is Donghuang Taiyi himself.

That's the real sun god, this golden liquid. It can produce solar fire, which cannot be extinguished by ordinary water.

Not only that, as long as mortal water is poured onto this kind of flame, it will burn more violently. This thing is said to be miraculous.

But after the Mongols used it many times in succession. Especially after using it on the people of Song Dynasty, the people of Song Dynasty also discovered some clues, that is, water cannot extinguish it, but if sand is used, it can extinguish this kind of flame.

"Go and send an order to all the soldiers. If there is a fire anywhere, tell them not to pour water on it, but to bury it with sand." The guard said.

Every time a war begins, the morale of ordinary soldiers is the most important. From ancient times to the present, many generals will use ghosts and gods to inspire their own soldiers and then intimidate enemy soldiers.

A little wind, a little rain, or thunder can all be said to be good omens and herald victory.

The flames ignited by this kind of golden fuel cannot be extinguished with water and are indeed very deterrent. Therefore, the soldiers must be prepared in advance, otherwise they will be caught off guard.

"But the general doesn't have so much sand! If there really is a large-scale fire, then there is nothing we can do." The general said speechlessly.

Using sand and earth to extinguish this fire is really effective. But you also have to have a sufficient amount. Under normal circumstances, water is still needed to extinguish fires.

"This general knows, but I can't control that much now. Tell the soldiers, if there is a fire, never pour water on it. If you do, you will be dead. Anyway, except for not pouring water, you can use other methods to extinguish the fire. "The guard said helplessly.

Anyway, water must not be splashed. The people of Xixia suffered losses, the people of Song Dynasty suffered losses, and the people of Khwarezm in the Western Regions suffered losses. This is a lesson learned from the past.

"Since I know this, I will pass on the order." The deputy general nodded and said.

Soon, an order spread among the soldiers at the grassroots level.

The Mongols used a magical method to set fires that could not be extinguished with water.

If you splash water, it will make the fire more intense. Never use water to extinguish the fire.

However, this kind of demon fire is not hopeless. It can be buried with sand, slapped, or rolled on the ground to extinguish the flame.

You can put out the fire however you want, but you are not allowed to give me water.

"Is there still such a thing? Mongols, do Mongols really know how to use magic?" a soldier guarding the city asked.

"Yes, I heard that the Xixia people came to support before. The Song people in Xixia have all suffered from this kind of demon fire, and tens of thousands of troops were burned to ashes."

"But if we don't use water and only use other methods to extinguish the fire, then what should we do? Once the fire gets big, other methods will not work at all!"

"You will definitely die if you use water! Brothers, now we can only pray for God's blessing. Don't get caught in this kind of fire." A corps leader sighed and said.

I don't know if I can survive this battle, or if I can return to my hometown and see my wife and children.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
  The thunderous war drums sounded, the bugles were blown, and the Mongolian soldiers below were riding horses, raising their sabers, and making strange screams.

The catapult was put on a yellow earth bag with a stone tied to it.

A long fuse was ignited, and then the explosive package flew into the sky, tracing a perfect arc.

Dozens of catapults launched an attack at the same time. Countless explosive packets were thrown onto the city wall.

The trebuchets on the city walls that are more than ten meters high can strike very accurately. These warriors who use slingshots are all veteran operators.

He was very handy in operating the trebuchet, and basically every explosive packet landed on the city wall.

Boom!Boom!
  "Ah! Ah!"

"what is this!"

"Ah, my leg is broken, my leg was blown off!"

Suddenly, the sound of explosions continued to be heard on the city wall, like thunder exploding on the city tower, and everyone's ears were blinded by the explosion.

The soldiers had never seen such a scene before and began to run away. However, this situation was quickly stopped by the supervisory army.

"Listen to everyone, go back to your posts and defend yourself. Anyone who dares to leave his post without permission will be killed without mercy!"

"I aim at their hot oil cans and launch an attack every 15 to 20 meters." Zhang Yong flew the drone into the sky, observed the enemy's fuel position in the air, and then fired a bomb at a distance of [-] to [-] meters. The catapults indicated the target.

Suddenly, a more violent explosion sounded. The fuel was ignited by the flames caused by the explosion, and for a while, flames burst out from the tower. Zhang Yong did not use gasoline in the first wave of attacks. Since the enemy already knew some information on his side, I didn't use it yet.

The order just given by the general guarding the city was clearly heard by the drone. Since you ordered the soldiers not to use water to extinguish the fire, I will not use gasoline for now. After you find that water can extinguish the fire, I will use gasoline. Make you happy.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Quick, get some water."

"Don't use water! Water and fire will make things worse. The general just said that the brother who was on fire rolled up on the ground. The other brothers who were not on fire patted him and extinguished the fire first." A section chief stood up and said.

"What's going on? Why? Why do the Mongols seem to know the location of our fuel tanks? Why do every shot contain fuel?" the guard also asked with a heavy face.

"Sir, could it be that the black guy flying in the sky sees the situation here clearly?"

The guard heard this and looked at the drone flying in the sky. Could this thing really be a ghost?
  "Isn't that right? I heard everything you said clearly!" Zhang Yong controlled the drone and directly started the shouting mode.

"It spoke, General, General, the black thing spoke."

"Speak, speak, monster! Monster!"

Speak in front of everyone. All of a sudden, the surrounding Jin soldiers were frightened to death, and they all looked at the drone flying in the air with horrified expressions.

"Hahaha! Cry! Then all of you will die! If you don't surrender, all of you will die! You will all suffer the punishment of God and die!" Zhang Yong turned on the drone's loudspeaker, raised the volume to the maximum, and shouted.

Hearing this, the guard got goosebumps all over his body, broke out in cold sweat, and shouted loudly.

"He is deceiving the public with his lies. Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. He is deceiving the public with his lies!"

If you let this voice continue to shout. The soldiers guarding the city will collapse without a fight.

"I have help from heaven, and I am the messenger of God. Surrender immediately. If you don't surrender, you will be punished by heaven." Zhang Yong controlled the drone and kept flying on the city wall.

While dodging the incoming arrows, he turned on the loudspeaker and shouted loudly. The soldiers who heard this fell into panic for a moment.

Although they are Chinese, most of them are descendants of Han people, and only a small number of Jurchens serve as officers or military supervisors.

They, ordinary soldiers, have no intention of sacrificing their lives for the country.

"All of you will die, all of you will die, or you will die if you don't surrender."

The drone was flying in mid-air, constantly making this sound.

The psychological defense line of the soldiers guarding the city fell further.

Some Jurchen soldiers began to pick up their bows and arrows and shoot at the drones, but Zhang Yong controlled the drones to dodge dexterously, or directly climb up.

While being bombarded by the Mongols' explosive packs, they also enjoyed the loud sound of drones calling for death.

The soldiers who defended the city suffered a double blow both psychologically and physically.

Half an hour later, when the drone's power ran out and the drone beeped, Zhang Yong controlled it and flew back.

"Hahaha! That's a good move of yours. You can still use this flying artifact like this." Wo Kuotai patted Zhang Yong on the shoulder and said.

The battle is all about morale. Whichever side has high morale will win. Now, the soldiers passing by the city wall have fallen into a huge panic.

"Hmph! This is the effect you want, father-in-law, you let the soldiers continue bombing.

Don't stop, and then pay attention to the soldiers on the top of the city, after they start to put out the fire with buckets.

Just put the gasoline can into the catapult and throw it directly in. There is no need to light it. There are flames everywhere in the city anyway. "Zhang Yong said.

"Okay, I understand." Wo Kuotai said.

In ancient times, the best way to fight a war was to make the enemy surrender, so it was necessary to overwhelm their psychological defenses.

The Mongols' catapults and explosive packs continued to attack. A soldier on the tower finally couldn't bear it anymore. Jumped into the water tank next to it.

But the fire did not become more violent, and the fire on the soldier was actually extinguished.

"Water can put out fire, brothers, water can put out fire." The soldier whose flames were extinguished stood up and shouted.

When other soldiers who were on fire saw this situation, they jumped into the water tank regardless.

As a result, the flame on his body was indeed extinguished.

"Damn it, who the bastard said, this fire can't be extinguished with water."

"Damn it, so many brothers were burned alive by fire, but they didn't dare to splash water on them."

"This dog official of the Jin Kingdom actually lied to us, didn't he? He took the life of our son of the Han family at risk."

Suddenly, the soldiers guarding the city were excited.

"Sir, what is going on? Didn't it say that the Mongolian flames cannot be extinguished with water?" When several lieutenants saw this situation, their faces changed wildly and they asked.

If this matter is not handled properly, the soldiers will mutiny!
  After all, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom are ethnic minorities, and a large number of soldiers in the Jin Kingdom are now Han!

"Alas! The intelligence does say so, but we have never seen this thing after all.

Maybe it was a rumor, so he ordered someone to bring buckets up and put out the fire quickly. "The guard sighed helplessly and said.

It was only then that the soldiers guarding the city began to urge the civilians below the city to bring up buckets of clean water and begin to put out the fire on the tower.

By the way, he calmed down the Han soldiers.

After seeing this, Wokuotai and Zhang Yong smiled at each other and ordered the soldiers to replace all the explosive bags with gasoline cans.

"Come on, you can accept this great gift." Zhang Yong said with a sneer.

Soon, all the headdress cars were replaced with gasoline cans. The second round of attacks on the soldiers in the city began.

Gasoline cans were thrown onto the city wall one by one, and golden liquid spilled out, igniting when exposed to fire.

The fire that had just been extinguished suddenly started burning again.

Seeing this golden oil, the defender's face suddenly changed.

There were several unlucky soldiers who only had a few sparks on their bodies, but after being poured with this golden oil, their entire bodies burned.

A soldier nearby rushed over with a bucket of water. It was splashed directly on the other party's body.

Bear! Bear! The soldier who was doused with water suddenly turned into a pillar of fire.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

This situation is still happening everywhere on the city tower. As long as water is poured on this kind of flame, it will burn fiercely.

"There really is a fire that cannot be extinguished by pouring water. There is really a fire that cannot be extinguished by pouring water!"

"It's hopeless! We're hopeless!"

"Monster!"

Fear set in among the soldiers.

And sometimes fear is contagious, spreading from one person to ten, and from ten to hundreds, and from hundreds to thousands, and from thousands to thousands. (End of chapter)
