    Based on the situation of today's battle, even if Zhao Shanren's troops continue to resist stubbornly, it is only a matter of time before the Sui army annihilates Zhao Shanren's troops, but Wenda will not give the Sui army such sufficient time.

    The attack was unfavorable at this time. In order to reduce casualties, Zhang Wenyuan was ready to test the new weapon invented by Huang Mingyuan.  For Fengzhou generals like Zhang Wenyuan, giving full play to their weapon advantages is another important tactical feature in their marching operations.

    At this time, Gao Yuanbei came from the camp and brought countless clay pots and a batch of detachable catapults on a cart.  These slings are the simplest and most lightweight slinging weapons. They are composed of four supporting columns, a beam and a lever. Three adults can assemble it with a cup of tea.  However, this kind of catapult is useless on the siege battlefield. It can only throw objects weighing less than ten kilograms and dozens of steps away. The power of throwing stones is very small.

    And these clay pots are large and small, the big ones weigh seven or eight kilograms, and the small ones weigh only half a kilogram, and they can all be held in your hand.  These pottery pots, without exception, have only one small hole, and these holes are tightly sealed with wooden plugs.

    Wait until the cavalry withdraws and the infantry forms a formation.

    The catapult was pushed until it was only a few dozen steps away from the Goguryeo people.  At this time, a group of tall and strong soldiers, each holding several clay pots, rushed into the formation and threw the pots towards the enemy.

    These clay pots were thrown into the enemy formation and shattered one after another, and the sticky oily liquid in the pots also splashed for a while.

    At this time, the catapults behind also began to roar, and countless clay pots fell into the formation of the Goguryeo army.  The clay pots were broken one after another, and the sticky liquid was everywhere, covering people, weapons, and armor.

    The Goguryeo army didn¡¯t know what these were for a while, but these clay pots did almost no harm to them. They just made them sticky, a little sticky, and made them feel uncomfortable.  The Goguryeo army was a little ridiculed in suspicion. The Sui people were afraid that they had no other choice but to use these dirty things to vent their anger.

    Suddenly, in front of the Sui army's formation, a group of crossbowmen, each holding rockets, fired at the Goguryeo army.

    The Goguryeo troops raised their shields to avoid the arrows, but unexpectedly, when the rockets encountered their shields, they immediately burst into flames.

    Soon the flames followed the viscous liquid and burned everywhere.  The entire Goguryeo military formation was ignited with fierce fires, and the soldiers on all sides were ignited by the fires and kept wailing.

    This fire was so sudden and extremely fast that it quickly ravaged the entire front army.  Moreover, the billowing smoke brought up made everyone breathless.

    These sticky things are oil, but at this time it was still called Shiqi. Historically, this name did not appear until Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the Northern Song Dynasty.  Our country has been using oil for a long time, especially in Gaonu County in northern Shaanxi (the county seat is located in Yanchang County, Shaanxi Province today). "Gaonu has flammable water". There is spilled oil floating on the water, which can be collected naturally. There is no need to dig wells for mining as in later generations.  .

    Over the years, Huang Mingyuan has studied oil refining technology, separating oil through high-temperature heating, and blending it into different oil products after cooling.  Although the technology is not very good and of no great use, they have also developed a number of petroleum weapons, which are violent fire oils that focus on throwing attacks.

    The purity of this kind of fierce fire oil is not high, which will not only cause fires.  And after a fire breaks out, due to insufficient oxygen, a large amount of unburned components will form carbon monoxide, carbon powder or other by-products. On the battlefield, it is almost the most violent biochemical attack.

    At this time, among the Goguryeo people, there was a blazing fire on one side and billowing smoke on the other.  Everyone had no way to escape, and they were unable to extinguish the fire or avoid the smoke. It didn't take long for someone to be burned to death.

    Zhao Shanren was shocked by the sudden fire, but there was nothing he could do.  He speculated that the fire burning so fast was related to the clay pots thrown by the Sui army.

    At this time, there is no way to destroy the country. We can only get involved with the Sui army to prevent them from investing in these pots again.

    Zhao Shanren shouted: "Charge towards the Sui army. If we rush together with the Sui army, they will not dare to set fire."

    Some people in Goguryeo really believed it. Everyone was so burned that they rushed forward and rushed towards the Sui army.

    Zhang Wenyuan had already taken precautions against this, and those who play with fire must prevent the fire from blowing back.

    Zhang Wenyuan had already ordered the rebels to prepare hundreds of large shields that were more than ten feet high and one foot wide. These shields weighed thousands of kilograms and required several people to carry them.  Moreover, these shields have protrusions at the bottom that can be easily driven into the ground to prevent them from falling over.  And in order to prevent these shields from catching fire, Zhang Wenyuan had already ordered the Sui army to smear a thick layer of mud on the shields.

    The Goguryeo army rushed up and fought against these large shields back and forth with all their might, while the Guiyi army on the other side held them tightly.With huge shields, the two sides wrestled back and forth.

    At this time, more clay pots were thrown into the Goguryeo army formation. Fires flew and countless people were burned by the fire.  The front army was in a sea of ??flames, and there were shrill wails everywhere.

    Not everyone can become an iron man, and not everyone can be brave of fire.  So in the face of this raging fire, the originally rock-solid Goguryeo formation began to collapse.

    Soon the fire spread to the south, and the soldiers in the rear army turned around and ran away in order to avoid the fire burning their upper bodies.  At first, there were only one or two, and then more and more, becoming a group.  The defeat of the Goguryeo army soon triggered an avalanche of the entire army.

    The whole army began to be in chaos, the command became ineffective, and Zhao Shanren of the Chinese Army was at his wits' end.

    Countless people fled south, and then coerced each other, and the Goguryeo army officially collapsed.

    A battle that was originally evenly matched now turned into a pursuit battle.

    Zhang Wenyuan¡¯s frown on the hill finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.  He ordered his men to stop throwing earthen jars, and ordered the Sui troops on both wings to start pursuing him.  Fire oil is too precious and should not be wasted.  Moreover, the Sui army always advocated capturing prisoners as coolies. Now that Liaodong is short of labor, these collapsed Goguryeo troops are the best prisoners.

    The Sui army's rockets also stopped firing. As for the Goguryeo troops who were still struggling in blood and fire, in order to prevent them from spreading fire to the Sui army, they had to shoot them all.

    There are fewer and fewer Goguryeo troops on the battlefield.  The Sui army began to organize into small groups to clean up the remaining Goguryeo soldiers.  Those who can hold on are the elites of Goguryeo, and they must not be left behind.

    Zhao Shanren, who was still holding on to the Chinese army, now had disheveled hair and was covered in blood.  The number of troops around him was getting smaller and smaller, and he and his last men kept fighting until these troops were killed one by one.

    Zhao Shanren was covered with injuries and was unable to fight anymore.  He looked at the night, the fire, and the blood all over the world, and murmured: "I am sorry for my elder brother (Wenda's official position). Now the only way to rule the country is to die." Then he committed suicide.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
