Chapter 346: A Tough Turtle Shell
With the advantage of physical strength and equipment, the Rus people rarely had a hard time fighting. The Rus are all dressed in iron armor, and the weapons in their hands are also sharp steel knives. However, the Mahan people mostly wore some leather armor, and the weapons in their hands were inferior copper and iron weapons. The battle between the Rus and the Mahan was like a battle between an adult and a child, but the weapons in the hands of this adult were even more sophisticated.
The fierce battle had been fought from noon to evening, and the battlefield continued to see the Ma Han people fall, and occasionally Qin soldiers fell to the ground. Now that the blood has covered half of their calves, the soldiers are dripping with blood and fighting the Mahan in a fierce battle.
Wei Kunyang led people to suppress the Ma Han people, and Li Chen under the city also checked the battle situation through the binoculars. The sky gradually darkened, and it was about to get dark for about an hour at most. After dark, it will be even more disadvantageous for both the offensive and defensive sides.
"Send a signal to Fan Xu, attack with all your might, if you can't take the city gate, withdraw first." Li Chen said softly, his hand holding the telescope trembled slightly, the battle situation on the city wall was really too tragic.
Although the Qin army has now attacked the city wall, it has not been able to take the city gate in one go, and now the Qin army is blocked by the Ma Han and Wei Han people on the short 100-meter city wall. If you want to open the city gate, you must first defeat the besieging Wei Han and Ma Han soldiers.
"Bang, bang, bang."
There was a fierce drum beat in the camp of the Qin army, and Fan Xu on the city wall saw the banner of the herald, he knew that this was his last chance today, and the he had blown must come back.
"The first battalion and the second battalion cleared the enemy on the right flank for the third battalion, and the third battalion was ready to take the city gate by force." Fan Hao roared with one hand, and the long knife in his hand swung fiercely towards the enemy in front of him, and a Mahan soldier in front of him was instantly cut to the ground.
As the saying goes, the morale of a cold weapon in war is a real thing that can affect the outcome of the battle. Seeing that Fan Xu was so brave, the morale of the Qin army immediately soared, and for a while, the advantage of the Qin army was a little greater.
War is a thing that eliminates the other, the morale of the Qin army is high, and the morale of the Mahan people is inevitably demoralized, Wei Kunyang saw the Mahan people who were losing and retreating, and he knew that he was afraid that the city wall would really be lost.
"Go, go, go."
Suddenly, there was a sound of Mingjin on the city wall, and the sound of drums on the battlefield represented the attack, and Mingjin represented the withdrawal of troops. Wei Kunyang Ming Jin was signaling Yin Chengzheng to retreat, and as soon as the sound of the golden gong sounded, the morale of the Mahan people also dropped to the lowest point.
Yincheng Zheng, who was fighting fiercely in the jeep, knew that although he was not defeated, the Ma Han people had already been defeated, and at the moment when Wei Kunyang Ming Jin's voice sounded, it was impossible for the Ma Han people to block the Qin army.
Although I don't understand why Wei Kunyang wants to withdraw his troops, the military order on the battlefield is unquestionable. At this time, there was no room to think about it, Yin Chengzheng gritted his teeth and shouted: "Retreat, retreat." ”
If the sound of gold made the morale of the Mahan people plummet, Yoon Sung-jeong's order to retreat was the last straw that overwhelmed the Mahan people. Yin Chengzheng's order, the Mahan soldiers on the periphery retreated like a tide, but the Mahan people who were fighting with the Qin army in the inner circle could not get out.
"Why Mingjin, why withdraw troops." After Yin Chengzheng withdrew, he shouted at Wei Kunyang with a split eyelid.
"It's getting dark, and the walls may not be able to hold down after the fight." Wei Kunyang explained.
"If you fight, you may not be able to hold it, but the city wall will definitely be lost if you withdraw the army." Yin Chengzheng roared angrily, Wei Kunyang suddenly called gold, so that at least three thousand soldiers under his command were entangled by the Qin army and could not withdraw, and the fate of these three thousand people was obvious.
"Since you are allowed to retreat, I naturally have a way to defend the city wall." Wei Kunyang said confidently.
In the fierce drumbeat, the morale of the Qin army became higher and higher, and the speed of cleaning up the Ma Han people became faster and faster. The 3,000 Mahan soldiers who were soon left behind were already dead and wounded.
Fan Xu was about to lead people to the flanks, but found that the left and right wings had been blocked by the Wei Han people with half-human-high boulders. The boulder was only half a man's height, but it was stuck perfectly in the flow of the city wall. The bottom of the boulder and the flow of water are exactly the same, and it is clear that this is a pre-designed mechanism.
Li Chen, who was under the city wall, saw the scene in front of him through the telescope, and thought of the inexplicable retreat of the Mahan people just now, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
"What does it smell like?" Fan Xu on the city wall also smelled a peculiar smell, this smell was not the fishy smell of blood, but exuded a fragrance.
At this time, the blood on the city wall seemed to have increased, and the blood was still viscous, and there seemed to be some white and yellow grease floating there. The blood had completely submerged into the human calf, and the jeep seemed to feel that the taste was somewhat familiar, and reached out to fish the blood at his feet, which was actually full of grease.
Putting the grease on his hand to the tip of his nose and sniffing it, Jeep's face changed: "General Fan, it's whale oil." ”
"Whale oil, what is whale oil?" Fan asked curiously. As a street runner who has lived in Pei County since he was a child, he knows what oil is, but he obviously doesn't know what whale oil is.
"It is the oil in the stomach of a big fish in the sea, which is extremely flame-resistant, a bowl of whale oil can burn for three days and the water cannot be extinguished, and we rely on whale oil to light the fire for heating when we are on the ice field." Jeep patiently explained.
In the cold environment on the Siberian ice field, not to mention that there is no firewood, even if there is firewood, it is difficult to ignite, and the people on the ice field rely on the climate to be a little warmer, and go to the sea to hunt whales and use whale oil to warm up, so he is familiar with the smell of whale oil.
"Why are they pouring whale oil into the blood, and they are blocking both sides, are they going to attack with fire?"
"That's eighty percent, once the whale oil is burned, it will be difficult to extinguish, and then we will all be left on the city wall."
"Annihilation? Then why don't you run and stand here? ”
"Didn't you run away too?"
"Fuck, run?"
The reflex arc of the rough man with two big nerves is really a little slow.
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops."
"Fuck down the wall." Fan Hao yelled as he kicked his soldiers in the direction of the ladder.
Although the soldiers didn't know why they wanted to withdraw because they had a big advantage, the orders on the battlefield were greater than everything, and they hurriedly climbed down the ladder one by one.
"Found out?"
"Ignition." Wei Kunyang here naturally also found out that the Qin army was about to withdraw, and immediately ordered the soldiers who were pouring whale oil into the dark groove of the city wall.
Almost instantly, the two fire snakes swam slowly in the direction of the Qin army along the whale oil in the dark trough, although the whale oil is not easy to extinguish, but the speed of fire is not fast.
"What should I do?" Seeing that it was too late to go down from the ladder, Fan Hao hurriedly asked.
"Whale oil can't be destroyed."
"Now you have to jump?"
Jeep looked at the swimming fiery serpent, and then at the bottom of the city walls. The city wall is only about six meters, and now there are corpses under the city wall. The height of six meters is nothing to a person like Fan Xu, who is proficient in martial arts like Jeep, but a soldier jumping down must be broken bones and tendons. But if you don't jump, you will definitely be burned alive.
