Chapter 247 The Unable to Stand City

"put!"

Muke waved his hand and his officers issued an attack order to the stone thrower that was pushed out of the shade. However, their target was not the attack soldiers nearby, but the stone thrower in the two strongholds, the siege of the city.

Some large pots in the sky flew towards the target in the distance, and then a huge ball of fire broke out above the target, and smoke immediately rolled in the two strongholds.

This is the opportunity that Muke has been waiting for. Only when the opponent's infantry starts to climb the city will he not encounter any counterattacks. It can be said that the long-range strike weapons in the two strongholds can only be beaten in place.

As long as the opponent's stone thrower is burned, the least the defense facilities of the Aden Fortress will not be so easily destroyed. Then with this little force and the supplement from the sea on the back mountain cableway, he can keep sticking to it.

However, no one could fully anticipate everything that was about to happen in the war. Even the very well-prepared Aden Fortress, including Muke, who trusted the equipment of the island of Felekay, the plan failed at this time.

Leading a cavalry team to gallop on the winding mountain road, the little Ashleffor sneered at the flames. This time, the little Ashleffor lord, who was guided by the old finance minister, prepared a large amount of sand and stone in the two strongholds.

There may be some people who are burned, but that is not a concern for him. In the attacked strongholds, whether they are burned or those stone throwers ignited by the fire, someone immediately uses sand and stone to start extinguishing the fire. In any case, it is better to be injured than to die. What is important is that the stone throwers can be intact. And the crossbows at the turning point are time to exert their power.

At this time, the rolling smoke in the stronghold made Muke relax his vigilance. He thought the siege machinery there had been destroyed, so he ordered the stone thrower to attack another stronghold.

At this time, with waves of arrow rains, and after more than 100 casualties, the infantry finally carried the ladder to the edge of the city wall. At this time, the city seemed to turn a blind eye to them, and was still just using bows and arrows to kill people approaching.

As for those who carry ladders and scimitars, they seem to be not seen by the other party. Before the secret joy in their hearts was over, they encountered something that made them most confused since the war started. The ladders on the top of the city finally put them firmly on those "jagged" walls, but as long as the person who climbed up was halfway through the ladder, the ladder would inevitably be crooked and then everyone would fall down.

Their own archers were already dead under the arrows of the sniper archers when they came to the city wall. The infantry held their swords and looked at the high city wall, not knowing what to do. Especially when they didn't hear the horn of retreating, if they ran back, they might be killed by their own people as cowards!

The people behind did not know why they didn't climb the city, but they only saw ladders standing there. But the infantry did not see the city. He quietly showed his eyes from his hiding place, looking at the situation of climbing the city ahead. This made the commanding officer scold the general.

"Damn, what if the infantry didn't come to the city and sent them to the front!"

As he finished speaking, the rapid sound of the feather arrow breaking the wind came. He subconsciously shrank inward. A long arrow flew over his head and behind him. This made him sweat in a cold sweat. If his neck had not shrunk, he would have been penetrated by an arrow.

The infantry under the walls of the Aden Fortress could only watch the ladders tilted again and again, staring at the thick walls. Whether behind or in front, they felt a lot of helplessness when facing the Aden Fortress.

"You sly bastards!"

The soldiers under the city holding scimitars and shields raised their heads helplessly and shouted at the top of the city. However, Gong Zi had already designed a way to deal with their curses. That thing was a by-product of Martin's "invention" in diet - tearjerking powder.

The man on the top of the city picked up a small basket and poured down a large piece of it through the chili, pepper, pepper and mustard. He boiled it into the liquid soaked, and dried it again. The ground clay poured down from the air.

I would like to mention here that chili peppers are said to have come from South America. But in the Middle East, Martin also found these things. It only proves that, like tobacco, they were first used by natives in South America, but it definitely does not mean that these plants are grown only in the Americas. This is a very ridiculous view. After all, according to plate theory, there was only one place in the ancient continent.

Therefore, it should be said that people in some places use or cultivate them first. People in other places learn to use them, but they do not know that there is no such thing. Just like the plant tobacco, it may be found in many parts of the world, but no one will just suck it.

From a certain perspective, these things are more cruel than lime powder. Especially mustard, which is itself a strong tear-jerking substance. Not to mention entering the eyes, it is not easy to absorb it into the lungs. God and Allah bless these poor soldiers who have been choked for half of their lives, so as not to cause lung disease.

Therefore, after just cursing, the soldiers under the city had to use their headscarf to cover their faces. This didn't even work, after all, people could not fight with their eyes closed.

In fact, these things were not so commonly used in the Middle East. However, in the Song Dynasty, this soft killing weapon, which was relatively to the hard killing weapons such as hot oil and rolling stones, was not rarely used. However, most people like oil, but this soaked and ground clay is cheaper.

After these unstoppable dust poured into their eyes and noses, the infantry siege began to retreat. They faced a place where they could not climb the city to fight, or open their eyes and breathe, escaping was the only choice. The people on the top of the city cheered again.

Unfortunately, they cheered a little early. When the siege infantry retreated dozens of meters away, a large number of stone bullets suddenly flew out from the two strongholds with thick smoke.

"Note that the stone bomb is coming!"

Juliana's sharp voice once again saved the lives of those people on the city. Habitually, they squatted towards the place and hid their bodies behind the marquee. Gong Zi also ran towards the windows of the yard, and issued an order to the slave archers in the yard with a sharp throat!

"Come back soon... come back... spread out..."

However, they must have as many as five hundred people. Although some people can hide in the place where they came in time, more people don’t know where to go. Just when they were in chaos, groups of stone bombs had been thrown from the two strongholds into the castle.

The stone bullet hitting the city wall made a huge sound.

"Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom..."

When the stone bullet hit the target, the bricks and stones on the shattered city walls made a sound of shattering and collapse. Some people who had nowhere to hide also screamed in horrific voices when they were hit by the stone bullets.

The stone bombs hitting the yard can hit several people in a row. The huge impact not only breaks the human bones, but also most of the stone throwers in the Aden Fortress have been damaged to varying degrees. This also includes the flying swallow crossbows on the top of the city.

Muke could not hear at all that such a blow would be suffered in the fortress of Aden. He was stunned by the loss in front of him, and there was no need to explain the pain in his heart.

"How could this happen? It was obviously burned!"

Almost no one heard his murmur, but this was probably the first time Muke used the exclamation form when he spoke. What puzzled him was that he had just destroyed the other party's stone thrower, so how could it be repaired so quickly or reassembled.

The yards of the Aden Fortress were filled with wounded slave archers. Some of them were broken bones and broken tendons, while others had become cold corpses. At this time, they reacted, and different trainings would have different results.

The soldiers on the Island of Felekai, whether from the Song Dynasty Yulin Army or the Arab Army, all stepped forward and dragged the injured to a safe place. They took out the small bamboo tube containing gauze and medicine from themselves to rescue the injured soldiers. They sprinkled with powder for stopping bleeding and anti-inflammatory made of Panax notoginseng and sulfur, wrapped it with gauze and then sent it to the military doctor.

The army of Felecai Island has the largest military medical unit in the world. At least in each team, there is a soldier who can be easily aided. Then, in units of fifty people, a military medical team of ten people was equipped.

From then on, the military doctors who have been relatively fresh from the beginning of the battle were also busy. The strong liquor, the crooked needles, and the tweezers for stopping bleeding were almost all their equipment. Fortunately, with the training of the famous Arab doctors and the traditional Chinese medicine of Huangshacheng, they would be able to deal with these things.

Opium is used to relieve pain, not a magical thing. As for refining, Martin, as a chemistry-proficient person, did not know how to do these things now. Fortunately, the thick opium juice contained in a small glass bottle can also have some pain relief, which can at least be tolerated by the soldiers.

At this time, the opponent's stone bomb attack did not stop. Perhaps because the soldiers in the city had already run back, they used it without any scruples.

Looking at the stone bombs flying again and the more injured people, Muke told himself.

"You can't do this anymore! Feiyan Birds, suppress their strongholds!"

In his yell, the crossbows placed in the safe tower room began to fire crossbows at the two strongholds at a speed of twelve to fifteen rounds per minute.
