Whale oil is heavy, a fuel that doesn't go out easily when burned, but it also burns slowly. The fire snake slowly burned on the bloody water, and the activity space of the Qin army was further compressed.

Now it's time to make a life-or-death decision, and there is no room for too much hesitation. The Qin army was wearing iron armor, and even if there were piles of corpses under the city wall as a buffer, jumping from a height of six meters would inevitably cause a lot of injuries. The weight of the armor alone could cause the Qin army to suffer internal injuries, and the armor that usually protected them had become a burden at this time. However, now that the fire had reached his feet, there was no time to take off his armor.

"Jump down, jump all for me." Fan Hao shouted loudly as he waved at his soldiers.

The soldiers have always taken obedience to orders as their duty, and these soldiers did not hesitate, jumping down from the city wall one after another. For a while, the city wall was like dumplings, which often shocked people.

"Quick."

"Wang Li, take the Shenji Battalion to respond." Li Chen saw this dumpling-like scene through the telescope, and hurriedly shouted at Wang Li.

"Puff, puff."

The Qin army jumped down from the city wall one by one, and the lucky ones just fell to the ground, and the unlucky ones fell to the ground and couldn't get up. To say that this battle was also aggrieved, it was clear that he was about to take the city wall, but he was beaten down by fire. After an afternoon of fighting, there were not as many casualties as the soldiers who would have been injured by this fall.

At this time, the fire on that section of the city wall had spread, and the raging flames had swallowed up nearly 100 meters of the city wall. The fire scorched the blood and emitted a foul smell, and even the Qin army under the city walls could feel the oncoming heat wave.

"Damn, thankfully I jumped off." Fan scolded stupidly, even under the city wall, there was still a burning sting on his face.

"General Fan, Master Hou asked me to pick you up, let's go back to the camp first." At this time, Wang Li, who came to meet him, had already felt it, and hurriedly picked up the injured Qin army and ran towards the camp.

"Brother Wei, are you chasing?" On the city wall, Yin Chengzheng looked at the retreating Qin army and asked. His subordinates suffered such heavy casualties, and he was really unwilling to let Qin Jun go like this. But if he was allowed to go out to pursue, he would not have much confidence in his heart. Before, relying on the city wall to hold on, it was not the opponent of the Qin army, and if it went out of the city to fight in the field, it would be even more unpredictable.

"If you can't chase it, you will definitely lose when you go out of the city."

"We can only hold on now, once Goguryeo is destroyed in front, the Qin army can only retreat." Wei Kunyang looked at the Qin army camp in the distance and said.

Under the city of Turtle City, the Qin army camp.

"Master Hou, you punish me." Fan Hao knelt in front of Li Chen and said dejectedly.

"Punish you for what you do, this is a good fight, although our army has more than 3,000 casualties, but the enemy's battle losses are more than ten times that of our army." Li Chen hurriedly helped Fan Xue up.

"Master Hou doesn't want to tease Fan Xu, he was blinded by the geese pecking at him today, and Fan Xu can't even take it down in this barbarian town." Fan Xu's face was full of shame.

"Fan Xu, do you know that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, although today is not defeated, next time don't underestimate these barbarian natives. Although this city is small, in terms of subtlety, it is not inferior to the city walls of Great Qin. Li Chen patted Fan Xu's shoulder and said with relief.

"Guys, there's a plan to break the city." Li Chen glanced at the generals and asked.

"Master Hou, this city is not easy to break. Although the city looks small, the foundation of the city should be at least three meters deep, and the city is tortoise-shaped, so it is difficult to blast the walls with artillery or gunpowder. As for the assault, General Fan also tried it today. If my guess is correct, there should be a fire trough at intervals along the entire wall, and no matter which part of the wall we attack, if the enemy is unable to hold it, it will inevitably set fire to drive the outside down. ”

"And even if you attack the city, there should be an inner city like a tortoiseshell, and even if you attack the city from outside, you will fall into street fighting." Du Bishu had already seen the structure of the Turtle City and said to everyone.

After Du Bishu finished speaking, the generals fell into silence, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, but the Qin army is not familiar with the enemy, and it is difficult to come up with an effective way for a while. Just when everyone was at a loss, Jeep suddenly said: "The enemy army should not have much whale oil, it is difficult to catch whales, and even if there is a stock, it stands to reason that there should not be much more." ”

"Master Hou, it's really not good, I'm leading people to attack the city tomorrow, and a few more fights will definitely be able to drain their whale oil." Fan said angrily.

"No, our army has come from afar, and there is no replenishment in military strength, so we can't consume soldiers like this." Li Chen retorted.

"Master Hou, what you said is extremely true."

"Master Hou, that's right." The generals echoed the words, using human lives to consume the enemy's whale oil, which is really a bit impossible.

"Our army has never fought such a wall, and if we want to achieve victory at the minimum cost, we must let the enemy army come out to fight in the field." Han Xin said.

"Where can it be so easy to let them out, we are not his old man, let him come out and they will come out." Fan said indignantly.

Han Xin glanced at Fan Xu, a reckless man, and simply stopped selling Guanzi, and said straight to the point: "After the observation of today's battle, although Ma Han and Wei Han have now formed an alliance, in fact, the command of the two sides is not unified. Commander Wei Han has a relatively conservative style of play, while Commander Ma Han has a relatively aggressive style of play. If you want them to come out to fight, you have to start from Ma Han's side. ”

"What can you do, if you can bring out the enemy army, I will call you Dad." Fan Xu said unconvinced.

"Hey." Wang Li habitually praised.

"Wang Li, you kid don't owe a beating, don't you?" Fan Xu waved his big fist at Wang Li.

"You two shut up, Han Xin, you continue." Li Chen glared at Wang Li and Fan Xu.

"Drive the Mahan soldiers captured alive today to the front of the city and humiliate, and try to see if you can let the Mahan people send troops to rob people." Han Xin spoke his mind.

"You can give it a try." Li Chen touched his chin, and there was actually an even more damaging note in his heart. As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Even if Han Xin's method didn't work, Li Chen had other ways in his heart.

"Wang Li, you will bring people to the city to mock you one day." Li Chen commanded.

Among the Qin army, Wang Li was obviously the most suitable for this task. This kid has a stinky mouth, and he has a sarcastic face, and letting him perform this task can obviously maximize the effect.

"Come on, Master Hou, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly." Wang Li excitedly took on this task. In the past few days, he has been doing the work of receiving and returning to the palace, and he has indeed suffocated Wang Li.
