Strange bottles were brought out, and many Zhao soldiers saw them.
Then, they were incredibly surprised.
"What is that thing?"
"I don't know! Why did they suddenly take out bottles? Are they going to smash us with bottles?"
"Probably not, such a small bottle, it shouldn't kill anyone if it hits."
Many people were very surprised by the bottles carried by Lin Tian's soldiers.
They had no idea what these bottles were for.
Even Li Mu, who was well-informed, was confused at this moment.
Seeing the fuse attached to the bottle, he felt that this matter was not that simple.
But he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
He could only watch from the rear with a wait-and-see attitude.
Meanwhile, the soldiers on the city wall, in front of everyone, ignited the fuses on the bottles.
After a moment's pause, they directly threw the bottles in their hands off the city wall.
As the bottles left their hands, many people's attention was drawn to them.
Then, a thunderous explosion followed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
These bottles exploded amidst the Zhao army like thunder and fire.
The deafening roar echoed in everyone's ears.
Countless bottle fragments scattered, piercing into the soldiers' bodies.
More importantly, at the moment of the explosion, flames shot up into the sky and spread towards the Zhao soldiers.
These were incendiary bottles made by Lin Tian, containing purified alcohol, flammable animal fat, and even some black liquid that could burn rapidly.
These were the raw materials for making incendiary bottles and the source of their explosions.
Others were not familiar with incendiary bottles.
When they showed their power, many Zhao soldiers were terrified.
"Fire! Such a big fire!"
"Ah! My eyes, my eyes are injured, my eyes hurt so much!"
"Save me, please save me, help me!"
The fierce flames made many soldiers feel terrified.
Especially when they found their clothes catching fire, they lost all composure.
They had originally prepared to use their ladders to climb the city wall and capture Yanmen.
But these incendiary bottles shattered all their offensive efforts.
Not only that, but at the moment the bottles exploded, a large number of Zhao soldiers died directly under the explosions.
Even more soldiers frantically tried to escape the inferno.
The Zhao generals watching the events unfold below Yanmen City from a distance were stunned.
"What, what is this thing? Why is it so powerful?"
"Thunder and fire illuminating the sky, could this be a heavenly punishment? Does it mean that it is against the will of heaven for us to reclaim Yanmen?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's clearly because they used those strange bottles, which is why this happened. These are all tricks by Qin's Lin Tian, but his methods are too novel, and we were not prepared!"
The existence of incendiary bottles did indeed frighten many people.
Even Li Mu was startled.
However, Li Mu also saw that while the incendiary bottles were powerful, their numbers were not large.
On the walls of Yanmen, only a few dozen people were holding incendiary bottles.
Although they occasionally threw down incendiary bottles, they were not launching a large-scale attack but rather throwing them in a planned manner.
Seeing this, Li Mu understood that such a fierce method was not inexhaustible.
"These mysterious bottles are indeed very powerful, but their quantity should not be large!"
"Based on their current posture, these mysterious bottles should run out soon!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhao generals were all jolted.
Before, they had been fearful of the incendiary bottles and were considering whether to continue the attack or retreat.
But after hearing Li Mu's words, they immediately made a decision not to retreat, but to continue the attack.
At the same time, their military orders spread throughout the army.
"Continue the attack, their bottles are almost used up!"
"Kill them, push forward, break open the gates of Yanmen!"
With these words, the Zhao soldiers charged even more ferociously.
However, this ferocity deliberately avoided the city walls of Yanmen and headed directly for the city gate.
Although Lin Tian's incendiary bottles were running out, attacking the city walls was still fraught with danger.
Relatively speaking, breaking through the city gate offered greater rewards.
Once they broke through the city gate, they could advance unimpeded into Yanmen.
At that time, even if Lin Tian had those powerful mysterious bottles, they would not be able to stop the charge of the Zhao cavalry.
With this in mind, many Zhao generals changed direction and headed straight for the city gate.
And when attacking the city gate of Yanmen, they found it much smoother.
At least at the gate of Yanmen, there were not so many mysterious bottles.
This point was actually very peculiar, and the Zhao generals had also interpreted it.
They had not considered that this was Lin Tian's deliberate arrangement.
In their speculation, it was because the incendiary bottles were too powerful and the flames were so intense that they could easily ignite the city gate of Yanmen.
To avoid this, Lin Tian did not allow anyone to use incendiary bottles at the city gate.
Thinking of this, many Zhao generals smiled.
"It seems these mysterious bottles are not that powerful after all? They still have many limitations!"
"Of course they have limitations. If not handled carefully, the Qin army could easily set itself on fire!"
"Hahaha! If we had known that their mysterious bottles had such flaws, we should have attacked their city gate directly. That way, we wouldn't have suffered this loss!"
The death of many Zhao soldiers under the incendiary bottles was indeed a loss for the Zhao generals.
Fortunately, they had timely discovered the weakness of the Qin's mysterious bottles, otherwise, they might have suffered greater losses.
Therefore, the Zhao soldiers, seizing the opportunity, became even more frenzied.
A large number of soldiers continuously headed towards the city gate of Yanmen, determined to break through it.
Lin Tian watched the offensive of the Zhao army, and he understood what the Zhao people were trying to do.
However, he did not stop them, but allowed them to attack wildly.
Their attack was actually within Lin Tian's calculations.
He wanted the Zhao army to concentrate at the city gate of Yanmen and attack the gate with full force.
Because behind the city gate, not only were there large numbers of soldiers waiting, but also herds of cattle.
These cattle had very strange appearances. Not only were their horns fitted with sharp blades, but their tails were also tied with flammable fuel.
More importantly, the cattle were blocked on both sides by chevaux de frise, and their only active trajectory was towards the city gate of Yanmen.
