103, Trust
It was easy to pour down the hot oil alone, and the enemy army could barely resist it in thick cowhides, but as soon as the poisonous method of the cold oak came out, the enemy troops drenched in the hot oil were burned into meat gourds, and the enemy troops on fire fell into their own ranks, and by the way, they led their brothers, and the enemy attack was disrupted at that time, and the city was suddenly filled with a strange smell of fried fat.
The enemy army was busy extinguishing the fire, and the siege of the city was temporarily suspended, and the Ming army in the city was also temporarily relieved, busy replenishing hot oil, boiling hot water when the hot oil was not enough, and waiting for the enemy to come back and give them a hot bath.
Seeing that the defense on the city wall was in good order, Han Oak couldn't intervene, and she didn't make a noise and took the guard down the castle tower by herself. The guard who followed her saw her method of dealing with the Mongols just now, and he was even more silent about her, and followed her with his head down, not even daring to make a sound.
Quercus frowned and pondered along the way, thinking about how to destroy the cannons, but there was no good way. She let out a long sigh, hoping that Zheng Heng, who was stationed in Datong, could do his best to help, but tonight Zhu Gaoxu thought that there must be a tough battle to fight, and it was difficult to say whether he could hold on until Zheng Heng arrived.
No, Han Li thought about it, it was better for him to prepare early, counting on Zheng Heng's tens of thousands of people to come, maybe he could fight the Mongols.
She turned around abruptly and pointed at the guard: "Go and find me something, find another empty room, and I'll make some gifts for the Mongols!" ”
Make a gift to the Mongols? The guard was a little confused, but when he saw Han Que's cold eyes, he immediately shuddered, and did not hesitate to go to the quartermaster.
What does Quercus want? She asked for lard, salt, nitrate, and other things. Although the quartermaster was strange, he had been ordered that the requirements for this Li girl must be met unconditionally, so he didn't ask at all, and directly ordered someone to send the things that Han Li asked for as she requested.
When the red-eyed Quercus came out of the room, she looked at the sky that had been dyed red by the flames of war, and it turned out that the sky had turned slightly white, and the shouts of killing outside the city were still deafening. It seems that the battle was fierce this night.
Han Oak beckoned, summoned the guards on duty on the periphery and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
The guard shook his head and said: "The battle is fierce, the Mongols are rushing up like they don't want to die, our casualties are very large, at this time the young men in the city are all up, I don't know how long they can resist." ”
Han Li said: "Lead a horse and take me to see the prince immediately." ”
Wait until the oak struggles to climb the city wall, because the city wall is full of dead and wounded soldiers, and there is no manpower left to carry them away. All those who could move took up arms and fought desperately against the Mongols.
Han Oak struggled to find King Han and Mr. Yan from the crowd. They were also surrounded by a group of formed guards, all of whom supported each other, which was easier than the rest of the soldiers on the city walls.
At this time, the tall Han King was about to show his advantage, and when Han Oak saw him, he saw that he was cutting off half of the head of a Mongol in front of him with a knife, and then raised his long legs and kicked the Mongol soldier off the city wall with one kick.
Han Oak dodged a stray arrow flying from under the city, and shouted at King Han: "Lord Wang! Rajah! ”
Zhu Gaoxu heard someone call him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Han Quercus, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing here?!" Get the hell out of here! Anping! Anping! Take her down! ”
Quercus shouted, "I have a way to drive the enemy!" Zhu Gaoxu, listen to me! ”
Mr. Yan hurriedly grabbed King Han: "Quick, listen to what Miss Li has to do!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu first strode over, grabbed Han Quercus in his arms, dodged the arrows flying on the city tower, took her to hide behind a battlement, and asked her: "What way do you retreat from the enemy?" ”
Han Li looked at him and said, "Lord Wang, I asked you to hand over this city to me, do you trust me?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded without hesitation: "Letter!" I believe in you! ”
Hearing his words, Han Li's heart, which had been frozen for many years, instantly jumped, she stopped the smile that came up from her heart, and looked at King Han's bloodstained face: "Lord Wang, I want you to give an order to withdraw all the people in the city to the front line of the southern city and give up the entire city, can you agree?" ”
Mr. Yan, who rolled over next to him, frowned and said, "You want to abandon the city?" If we wait for the Mongols to enter the city, won't we all be swords and fish? ”
Han Quercus whispered a few words in the ears of the two of them, and Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly: "Really? Is it really that powerful? “
He slapped his thigh: "Good! You take Anping and take people to arrange quickly! We'll hold out for another half an hour before we leave! ”
Han Li agreed, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered and grabbed Mr. Yan: "Give me my antidote!" If you are killed by the Mongols, who will I ask for an antidote?! ”
Mr. Yan smiled bitterly: "Grandma! This antidote is to be prepared now! Where am I going to get you ready-made? Besides, I'll tell you the truth, the main medicine in this antidote is to soak in a large amount of notoginseng boiling water, so many wounded people at this time, notoginseng is life-saving! Don't say that I don't have so many Sanqi now, even if I do, I still have to leave it to the wounded. Grandma, I'm sorry for you first! If I survive, I'll give you an antidote first! If I die in battle, will I write down the prescription before I die? ”
Han Oak nodded at him and warned, "You'd better talk!" "Turned his head and went down.
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "Do you really want to give her an antidote?" ”
Mr. Yan said: "Lord Wang! Now the lives of our people in the city are in her hands! I didn't promise to give her the antidote, she didn't do anything, lord, how long do you think we can last? ”
Anping held the token of the King of Han in his hand, and quickly gathered the residents of the city who were hiding at home to the most remote open place in the southern city, and then asked people to dig a trench and set up a horse rejection. He himself led a small team of people to follow Han Quercus to dig pits and bury some things in the rest of the empty city, more than a dozen people moved quickly, but more than a quarter of an hour, they buried more than ten explosives bags that Han Que had made in the middle of the night, and Han Que ordered the quartermaster to bury the remaining ** in the city next to these more than ten new explosives bags, and then put some flammable things such as fire oil next to it, a qiē ready, Han Que clapped his hands with satisfaction, and said to Anping: "Send a signal!" ”
Anping lit a firework, flew into the air and exploded, Han Li said: "I will go back to Nancheng, you take someone to pick up the prince." ”
After the fireworks, the sound of fighting at the head of the city gradually became quieter, and as the Han King and others gradually withdrew, a huge cheer was heard at the city gate, and the city gate was opened by the Mongols.
