Just when the cloud ladder was filled with soldiers, there was a sudden bang on the top of the city, and the Wei army at the top of the city began to pour something on the ladder.

Chen Shi's heart tightened and he stretched his neck, "What is this thief Cao doing? What does splashing water mean?"

Is it because the weather is so hot, so I splashed water to cool down?

Before he could understand clearly, he saw that the arrows of the Wei army at the top of the city turned into rockets at some point, and they were shot towards the ladder. During this period, some people threw torches from the top of the city, and they also aimed at the direction of the ladder.

.

I saw that the ladder somehow caught fire when it came into contact with fire. Some soldiers even accidentally touched the torch, and their bodies suddenly caught fire.

"fire Fire……"

The soldiers who were climbing the ladder shouted. The people on top wanted to retreat, but the people below didn't know what was going on. They pushed up and down. Many people were not killed by the enemy's swords and arrows, but were killed by their own people.

Got kicked down.

Wei Yan's expression finally changed.

"This is oil! They poured oil on the ladder!"

"Retreat, call the troops quickly!"

Wei Yan had to react quickly. Unfortunately, those oil-splashed ladders were all made of wood. Once caught on fire, they would quickly burn in such dry and hot weather.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Wei Yan encountered this situation of using kerosene to defend the city for the first time.

Caught off guard, the soldiers on the ladder had no way to escape. Not only did the soldiers who were originally attached to the ladder kept screaming and calling for help, they either became a burning man or were forced to jump down.

With a "crash" sound, a ladder was the first to be burned away by the fire. The remaining wood could not support it and finally became fragmented and slid down the city wall.

Wei Yan's face suddenly turned livid.

Obviously, the other party deliberately set up the ladder, poured oil on it when the soldiers were full, and then set it on fire. In this way, not only did all the ladders that had been built these days be burned, but a large number of them were even lost.

soldiers.

The most important thing is that after this time of defending the city with kerosene, the soldiers attacking the city have developed fear and their morale has been extremely low.

If you want to attack the city again, you either have to rest and come back again, or you have to go to the prime minister to replace a group of soldiers.

"Feng Yong used fire and oil to capture Long Pass without any damage. Unexpectedly, Hao Zhao used fire and oil to burn all the siege equipment today."

Zhuge Liang looked at the still burning ladder in the distance with a gloomy look on his face. He felt that he needed to get to know Hao Zhao again.

This move was really cruel. It not only caused a great shock to our own army, but also took the opportunity to burn all the siege equipment that had been built these days.

"Prime Minister..."

When Wei Yan returned to the camp, he was ashamed and did not dare to look up at Zhuge Liang.

"It's okay. This is not your fault, but my fault. I knew Feng Yong had used oil to attack the city, but I didn't expect that Cao Cao would also use oil to defend the city."

Zhuge Liang comforted him.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan was even more ashamed.

In the past few days, he has repeatedly requested to lead an army to attack the city, but he did not expect that he would be beaten like this. Where do you want to put his face?

"Let the soldiers rest for a few days first, and let me think of another way."

Seeing Wei Yan like this, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and then he turned around and told Yang Yi, "Wei Gong, send an order to Jicheng, let Feng Yong lead the riprap truck camp and engineering team, Guan Xing lead the horse army and Qiang

The Hu coalition troops came for reinforcements."

Although the siege suffered unexpected losses, Zhuge Liang originally did not expect to capture Xiangwu immediately.
