After seeing that smoke had enveloped the entire inner city, Cao Liang ordered a second wave of attacks.

Of course, at the same time as the second wave of attacks, the first wave of attacks did not stop, but continued to increase the intensity of burning oleander branches to ensure that the thick smoke in the inner city did not disperse.

More than twenty catapults that had no great use in the previous siege battles were now standing quietly on the road inside the golden siege. Several hundred slingers were already ready and waiting to be launched.

However, what was fired this time was not stone bombs, but poisonous smoke bombs made by the Wei army overnight.

The size of the poison smoke bombs is not small, each one is as big as a human head, but the weight is extremely light, not even one-tenth of the smallest stone bullet.

The Wei army placed poisonous smoke bombs on the catapult, and after lighting it, the gunners shouted and pulled the catapult, and the poisonous smoke bombs rose into the air and flew towards the inner city.

The poisonous smoke bombs are light in weight and can naturally be thrown much farther. A row of more than twenty catapults can release more than twenty poisonous smoke bombs in different directions, landing in various corners of the inner city.

Poison bombs are mixed with various poisons. The thick smoke produced is not only black smoke. Oleander is black smoke, arsenic is white smoke and sulfur is yellow smoke. When several kinds of poisonous smoke are mixed together, not only the smell is choking

, and more toxic.

The smoke of oleander is drifting from a distance. In the process of drifting, the concentration has been greatly weakened. The poisonous smoke bomb is thrown into the city and burns directly in the city, releasing the poisonous gas. Naturally, the concentration is

The biggest thing is that any Shu soldiers who smelled this poisonous gas immediately fell to the ground and died of poisoning.

Therefore, after the first wave of attacks, the Shu soldiers only felt chest tightness, dizziness and vomiting. Only a few people died from excessive inhalation of poisonous gas. Most of the Shu soldiers just felt uncomfortable and were not in danger of their lives for the time being.

However, the appearance of the second wave of poisonous smoke bombs caused a large number of Shu soldiers to be poisoned and died, causing a period of panic among the Shu soldiers.

The poisonous smoke produced by this kind of poisonous smoke bomb is much more powerful than the poisonous smoke in the air. The color of the smoke is different. As long as the Shu soldiers get close to the poisonous smoke bomb within one foot, even if it is

Even if you have already covered your mouth and nose, it will not help. As soon as you smell the poisonous gas, you will soon foam at the mouth and die.

This kind of poisonous smoke is quite toxic, and when several kinds of poisonous smoke are mixed, new poisonous smoke is produced and dispersed in the air, with a very high fatality rate.

Poisonous smoke bombs fell from the sky one after another, making the Shu army unable to guard against it. After the poisonous smoke bombs landed, they burned slowly and released a large amount of poisonous gas. As time went by, the poisonous gas became more and more abundant and heavier.

It seriously threatened the lives of the Shu army.

Not willing to sit still and wait for death in the poisonous smoke, some of the Shu army, which fell into chaos, had already deserted, looked east, abandoned the city and fled.

At the beginning, it was just the behavior of individual Shu troops, but as it progressed, more and more Shu troops joined the fleeing ranks. If they did not leave, they would be dead. This was the thought of almost everyone in the Shu army. Killing people here

Under the thick smoke, it was difficult to find any survivors.

When the poisonous smoke was released, all members of the Wei army stayed at the wind outlet on the west to prevent being accidentally injured by the poisonous smoke, so there was no sign of the Wei army on both sides and the east.

Many Shu soldiers abandoned the city and fled. Someone reported to Cao Liang and asked what should be done.

Cao Liang smiled calmly and said, "Let them go."

Now if the Wei army wanted to pursue, they would have to pass through this poisonous smoke belt. Therefore, in order to avoid casualties of the Wei army, Cao Liang decided to stand still and allow the Shu soldiers in the city to flee out of the city.

Furthermore, Cao Liang's goal this time was the Golden Siege, not the Shu soldiers guarding the city. As long as they captured the city, as for the soldiers guarding the city, even if they escaped, what effect would they have, so

Cao Liang didn't have to worry at all. From beginning to end, his only goal was the Golden Circle.

Now, apart from the Shu soldiers who died of poisoning, there were not many people left in the Golden Siege. Most of the Shu soldiers who were threatened with death decisively chose to flee.

At first, Liu Yin was still trying to stop the Shu soldiers from deserting. If he caught any Shu soldiers fleeing, Liu Yin would execute them on the spot.

But more and more Shu soldiers are escaping. Even if Liu Yin tries to stop him, it will not help. Under this poisonous smoke, failure to escape means death. No one is willing to stay in the city and wait to die.

.

Liu Yin also inhaled a lot of poisonous smoke. He was also dizzy and had trouble walking.

The soldiers around him advised Liu Yin: "General, we can no longer stay here. Break through and leave as soon as possible."

Liu Yin said angrily: "I was ordered by the imperial court to guard Huangjinwei, how could I abandon the city and flee? I vowed to live and die with Huangjinwei!"

In the end, all the soldiers around him abandoned him, and there was no one left by Liu Yin's side.

Liu Yin's body was swaying, his mind was dizzy, and he might fall down at any time. He looked at the empty golden inner city full of corpses, looked up to the sky, sighed, drew his sword, and stabbed himself with the horizontal sword.

Liu Yin originally had a chance to escape, but as the guard of the Golden Siege, he was completely desperate when the Golden Siege was lost. He would rather die than become a deserter, so he chose the most honorable way to die and ended

took his own life.

In fact, not many Shu soldiers escaped. Under the shroud of poisonous smoke, many Shu soldiers fell to the ground and died of poisoning. Many more lost the ability to move, leaving only

Waiting for death.

At this time, the wind direction did not change, but the wind force increased a lot. Under the influence of the strong wind, the poisonous smoke covering the inner city gradually dissipated with the wind.

Cao Liang ordered to stop burning oleander and throwing poisonous smoke bombs. Under such wind conditions, the effect was already very poor, but it seemed that there was no need to launch new attacks.

The entire inner city was littered with the remains of Shu soldiers who died from poisoning. The entire city was like a dead city, with no life left in sight.

Wei Jun easily opened the city gate and entered the inner city. Liu Yin's body was also found by Wei Jun.

Cao Liang did not expect that Liu Yin did not escape, but chose to commit suicide to end his life. This is so admirable. Many people have vowed that people will stay in the city and people will die in the city, but how many actually do it?

people?

Liu Yin used his own life to defend the dignity of the general who defended the city, and died a heroic death.
