Chapter 262: Scorched

When Wan Yankang continued to break through on the snowfield, White Horse City was fighting bloodily.

Temujin deserved to be a generation of heavenly pride, and after the tactics of filling the city with negative soil were broken by Huang Yaoshi, he regained his strength after a night of thinking.

Since it will be melted with snow bags, let's use real dirt bags!

With an order, the remaining 200,000 troops of the Qiyan Department began to shovel away the thick layer of snow and start digging the soil.

A cloth bag, seven or eight catties of soil, this is in the Central Plains, it is a matter of wielding two hoes. But at this moment, on the grassland, it is necessary to shovel away layers of ice and snow, and then dig up the frozen soil as hard as steel, and fill it with enough cloth to consume the strength of a strong man for a whole day.

The beggars made a comeback, filled the city with the true negative soil, and began to storm the head of White Horse City again.

The soldiers of White Horse City, after a day and a night of repair, recovered their physical strength and spirit to the peak, and fearlessly met the tide of attacks from the beggar army.

The original army of the Qiyan Department was 300,000, but after the battle losses in the early stage, plus the 30,000 troops sent to pursue Yan Kang, there were only about 250,000 left at this time. In White Horse City, there were more than 10,000 people who lost money in the early stage.

At this time, purely according to the comparison of military strength, the offensive and defensive sides are still in a state of two-to-one. However, the more than 200,000 troops of the Qiyan Department can be put into the battlefield at the same time, and at most 100,000 people. And Temujin's tactics of carrying soil and filling the city were only paved in five places, and the siege roads were seven or eight feet wide.

Therefore, in the midst of the battle, the strength of White Horse City was not tight.

Huang Rong, Li Mochou, and Tian Xiaowan, the three seemingly delicate mothers, have always been fighting on the front line.

Under the stimulation of the three housewives, the city is full of veterans and young people, all of whom are unwilling to be left behind.

Because the attacker can directly attack the head of the city, the defender's advantage is too small, and the defense of White Horse City is also full of dangers. At the end of the day, the beggar army attacked the city more than 20 times.

The little Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect formed three Tiangang Beidou Formations, and Juekong led a group of Shaolin lay disciples to form a small Arhat Formation, plus a peerless strong warrior formation, acting as firefighters, and extinguishing the enemy troops attacking the city again and again.

As night approached, Temujin saw that there was no breakthrough on all sides, so he had to give the order to blow the trumpet and withdraw his troops.

White Horse City poured out fire oil and set fire to the corpses of the people and horses under the city, trying to melt the "dirt road" like the previous time.

But after the fire was extinguished this time, Huang Yaoshi suddenly discovered that this time the begging department used real soil, which could not be burned or melted.

What's even more troublesome is that with this fire, the frozen soil that was originally wrapped in cloth is almost all integrated, and it is undoubtedly more than ten times more difficult to bulldoze it at night.

Xu Daosheng and Huang Rong's brows furrowed at the same time. They knew that if White Horse City couldn't break through the negative soil and fill the city, then there was only one way to go.

Although in terms of the comparison of troops, the loss of White Horse City is not too great, but the official soldiers of White Horse City are now only more than 40,000 people. And the 100,000 young people, after the stimulation of the initial silver reward, more people saw the cruelty of war.

Money is a good thing, but after all, you have to have a life to earn and a life to spend!

Many young people began to retreat and fight, and at the end of this day, after the meritorious deeds, more than fifty percent of the young people who received the reward did not choose to join the army.

On the first day of engagement, the proportion of young and strong people who chose to join the army was as high as eighty!

After this statistical data came out, Xu Daosheng pulled Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi and discussed secretly for half an hour.

Early the next morning, when the beggar tribe sounded the horn of attack, Xu Daosheng ordered someone to cut off the head of Wokotai in front of Temujin!

Temujin saw it from afar, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell headlong from his horse.

Tuo Lei on the side immediately jumped off his horse, lifted Temujin up, and carried him back to the sweat tent.

Temujin vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the generals had no master for a while, so they had to withdraw their troops and return to the camp first.

An hour later, Temujin woke up leisurely, and after pouring a bowl of ginseng soup, he regained some strength, and then gave the order: "Hang the blood flag!" ”

As soon as Tuo Lei heard that his father was going to order the slaughter of the city, he was about to speak out to dissuade him, but when he saw Temujin's cold eyes, he didn't dare to say anything more.

With the raising of the blood flag outside the city, White Horse City clearly knows from top to bottom that from now on, the city is in the people, and the city is ruined.

In addition to desperately defending to win, any passive fear of war will only lead to defeat.

The battle of the second day began at noon, but within half a day, the number of times the beggars attacked the head of the city was only a palm.

At nightfall, the horns of the retreating troops in the rear did not sound.

Temujin ordered that the siege of the city would be fought day and night!

Huang Rong fought for two days in a row, and she was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and when she saw that the enemy was still fighting at night, she could barely hold the scimitar in her hand.

Huang Yaoshi pulled his daughter to the back of the city and ordered: "Pour fire oil and light the fire!" ”

The corpses of the men and horses in the city were mixed with fire oil, and a raging fire ignited, and Temujin could only give the order to blow the trumpet and retreat.

That night, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, and Lin Nianying infiltrated the camp of the Qiyan Department again, looking for an opportunity to set fire to and assassinate Temujin and the generals of the Qiyan Department.

Temujin suffered a great loss, and he had already scattered the forage, and he and his generals hid in ordinary military tents at night, and did not show any trace of their whereabouts.

Because of this, the assassination of the general by the three of Huang Yaoshi was almost in vain. However, the three of them looked for an opportunity to set fire everywhere, but they stirred up the camp of the beggar department, and there was no peace for a night.

Back in the city, Zhou Botong looked at the camp of the Qiyan Department that was still on fire, clapped his hands and smiled: "Fun, fun!" ”

Huang Yaoshi laughed: "Berton, you like to play, let's go every night, okay!" ”

Lin Nianying frowned: "You guys can go." "She didn't like swordsmen originally, and she was still very resistant to killing people and setting fires.

On the third day, the siege method of the Qiyan Department was still the same old tune, and continued to attack the city with the stupid method of filling the city with negative soil.

But it is such a stupid method that the defending side of the city is also the most difficult to deal with, and it can only rely on flesh and blood to resist.

This simple one-day attack and defense, there are more than 10,000 young people in White Horse City, and they bid farewell to the world forever.

In the middle of the night, Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong went to the camp of the Qiyan Department as usual.

Although the Ministry of Beggars has long been on guard against this, it has set traps everywhere.

Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong have profound internal skills, and there are ambushes everywhere, where can they hide their ears and eyes. After a while, in the middle of the camp, there were fires everywhere.

The soldiers of the Qiyan Department have become accustomed to this, maintaining sufficient vigilance on the outside, and searching by the patrol soldiers on the inside, and most of the soldiers should rest as usual.

On the fourth day, the beggars continued to attack the city.

On the fourth night, Zhou Botong and Huang Yaoshi continued to infiltrate the camp of the Qiyan Department and continued to set fires.

On the fifth day, the beggars continued to attack the city.

At this time, the offensive and defensive sides did not have any new moves, and they all relied on blood and courage to maintain the battle, and the fierceness of the battlefield increased every day.

There are three gates of White Horse City, Huang Rong guards the west gate, Tian Xiaowan guards the east gate, and Li Mochou guards the south gate. The three daughters are supported by elders behind them, and the three of Huang Yaoshi easily do not make a move, and only rescue the three daughters at the critical moment, ensuring that the banner of the three main mothers of White Horse City will always stand at the head of the city.

Huang Yaoshi regarded his daughter's safety as more important than his own life, he always stayed not far behind Huang Rong, watching and listening to all directions, once Huang Rong was in danger, the stone bullet in his hand immediately roared out. In addition, Mei Chaofeng also followed closely by Huang Yaoshi's side, wielding a long whip from time to time to relieve Huang Rong's junior sister.

Although Lin Nianying doesn't like to kill, she is also very concerned about Li Mochou's disciple, she will not make a move easily, whenever Li Mochou encounters danger, she will wave her long sleeves and pull this disciple out of danger in time.

The only thing that is a little unreliable is the old naughty boy Zhou Botong. The old naughty boy has a temperament, Huang Yaoshi knows it, he specially explained to Yin Zhiping and the little Taoist priest, and asked them to focus on taking care of the east gate in case of accidents.

Zhou Botong guarded the east gate for a long time, and only shot three or five times in half a day, he thought to himself, there is no danger here, and then he stretched his waist and said: "Xiaowan, be careful, I'll go to Huang Laoxi's side to play." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the wind came under his feet, and he had already swept down the city, and went straight to the west of the city.

"Uncle Shi, Ancestor ......" Tian Xiaowan was about to turn around and recall Zhou Botong, when the three enemy soldiers in front of her rushed up to the city and killed her directly.

She had to concentrate, clench the long sword in her hand, and fight hard.

When Zhou Botong was there, Tian Xiaowan didn't realize how important this unreliable uncle was, and when the old urchin left, she was out of breath and understood that in the fierce battle, even if there was only a few breaths of rest, it was precious.

Tian Xiaowan had just repelled a wave of enemy attacks, and withdrew a little to rest for a while, when she saw that her own soldiers behind the arrow battlements were killed and scattered, and a group of enemy troops jumped on the city.

The armor of this team of enemy soldiers seems to be a little different, and a trace of thought flashed in Tian Xiaowan's mind. Before she could think about it again, more than half of the soldiers on the front line of her own side were killed or wounded at the hands of this group of enemy troops.

If Ye Siming was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this newly killed enemy army was the trump card unit of the Qiyan Department, the cowardly Xue army.

The Xue Army was a Praetorian Guard personally selected by Temujin, which developed from the earliest 100 personal guards to an ace army of more than 10,000 people, far surpassing the ordinary army of the Qiyan Department in terms of equipment and combat power, and only accepted the direct command of Temujin, the Great Khan.

The cowardly Xue army was Temujin's heart, and it would never have been used in the capture of the city, so as not to cause too many casualties among the soldiers.

The appearance of the cowardly Xue army at this time undoubtedly showed that Temujin's patience was close to the limit.

Tian Xiaowan couldn't recognize the cowardice of Xue Jun, she only took a deep breath and shouted: "Follow me!" Then, she drew her sword, which had just been unsheathed, and jumped to the front.

Among the three women, Tian Xiaowan's internal skills are the most profound, and her swordsmanship is the most proficient.

But Tian Xiaowan clearly felt that the difficulties of this group of enemy troops were far more difficult than any previous enemy army.

Well-equipped, spicy, and not afraid of death.

Tian Xiaowan realized that the effort spent on defeating this group of enemy troops was three times more.

However, before she could breathe two breaths, another team of cowardly Xue troops went to the head of the city......
