Chapter 209: Slash!

He Rencheng guarded Wei Yubi too much, led people to collect arrows everywhere, fired pottery overnight, according to his night stargazing, after another rain, there will be no rain for two months.

The city had already accumulated corn for three years, and there were not many people, only a few merchants and the fire dragon people from the old royal court.

Everyone is confident in holding on to the former capital. The only thing that can't be said for sure is whether the enemy will keep gnawing at this iron wall.

Zada Yuanxian obviously succeeded more than half, and defeated thousands of people in the Wandering Ghost Country in the first battle, which angered the coach of the Wandering Ghost Country, Tari Sujin.

Tari Suzin was ready to personally charge with the most elite skeleton legions, but was dissuaded left and right.

"Marshal Tari Suzu, there must be traps and tunnels outside this city, and it is very dangerous to charge rashly"

"Marshal, the fire dragon people have also become cunning with the people of the Central Plains, and they dare not fight us head-on, and use some despicable means!"

"It's just a bunch of rats hiding in a hole in the ground, a bunch of cowards! Our warriors, of course, can't die in vain, go! Urge the rear team to drive the slaves over! "Tari Suzin also left a follow-up move, a 50,000-strong army of slaves.

These slaves were captured from other tribes by the Wandering Ghost Kingdom, including men, women, and children, and were responsible for carrying supplies for the army and doing some heavy work.

There were many strong slaves among them, but the children or parents in the family were captured by the Wandering Ghost Country, so no one drove back against the Wandering Ghost Country's army.

At the urging of Tari Sujin, more than 10,000 slaves were soon driven in, and this was the strongest of the men.

This group of slaves, Tari Sujin did not let them storm the city of Heren, but slowly advanced with the army to a place five miles away from the city wall.

This time the advance was very steady, and when I encountered a ditch, I dug and filled in the earth, and it took ten days to advance the twenty-five miles.

Zada Yuanxian has been lying in ambush on Huan Gonggang, and seeing that the army of the Ghost Country is fighting steadily, he has no choice but to continue to stand still.

Five miles from the city wall, more than 30,000 slaves came in handy.

After they were given improvised throwing guns and equipped with crude ramming vehicles, there was round after round of death charges.

Slaves like locusts rushed towards the city, and the rain of arrows on the walls responded like locusts.

The shouts and screams resounded throughout the battlefield, and some of the slaves ran back, and before they could run half a mile, they were shot and killed by the army of the Wandering Ghost Country.

The slaves stormed the gates countless times as if they were about to complete this death-defying mission.

Each time the slaves stormed, the Wandering Ghost Army advanced several feet, from morning to evening, until the last slave fell in front of the city gates.

The moat was already covered with corpses, and the dark passage leading to the city gate had collapsed due to the crushing of multiple vehicles until it was filled in.

After paying the lives of more than 30,000 slaves, the army of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom finally advanced two miles away from the city gate.

This time, the siege of Heren City was impassable, and the dead bodies under the city were piled up, even if the army of the Wandering Ghost Country withdrew, the people in Heren City would die of the epidemic brought by these tens of thousands of corpses.

The slaves were so fanatical only because the people of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom had promised them that the slaves who could rush into the city could regain their freedom and reunite with the Wu family and have a rich reward.

Every time before the slaves were driven to charge, a few people always came out to say that they were slaves who had made achievements in the last war, and now they had become centurions or even captains of thousands.

The slaves didn't really believe these nonsense, but persuaded each other that they were going to die together, and I wasn't the only one who died.

Wei Yubi sat paralyzed on the city wall, this day was about to exhaust him, looking at the red sun in the west, Hongxia took a breath, "This way of playing, how many days can I watch the sunset?" ”

Don't drive Duga to lie on the ground, "Lord Wei, this."

It's only the first day, let's hold on together and get through it! ”

Medical officer Jing Changqing reminded them while dressing the wounded and sick, "The weather is hot, and if the dead bodies on the edge of the city are not dealt with early, I am afraid that they will cause a plague, and when the time comes, we will collapse without a fight without the enemy!" ”

Several soldiers supported Wei Yubi and Du Ga, and the two slowly approached the battlements of the city wall to look down.

As soon as the two of them vomited, many vultures had begun to dig out their intestines on the belly of the corpse. Some smelling wild dogs also rushed over.

The soldiers hurriedly helped the two of them away, and Wei Yubi covered his mouth for a while before taking a breath: "Today I only know what is called the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood!" ”

"It's too late to sigh, Lord Wei, quickly let someone find the fire oil and firewood, and burn the corpses close to the city wall, how much can be burned" Du Jia clutched his chest and reminded Wei Yubi that the top priority was to deal with the corpses under the city

The soldiers quickly fetched firewood and oil and threw them down from the city walls, and an hour later, a strong scorching smell permeated the city and beyond.

"It's on fire, it's on fire," the army of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom shouted, and Tari Sujin covered his nose and looked at the black smoke on the opposite side.

"When their oil is almost gone, our ladder and felt cart will come in handy, we are just a few dead slaves, and it will be two or three days before we take this city!"

More than 10,000 sturdy slaves are rushing to make felt carts and ladders, and the army of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom has also joined in order to break the city as soon as possible.

Behind and on both flanks of the Ghost Country's position were 5,000 heavy shield warriors and 1,000 heavy cavalry patrolling back and forth to guard against reinforcements from the Yu Kingdom.

To deal with the ladder and felt cart, you can only rely on rolling wood and stones, there is not much fire oil in the city, plus the burning of corpses, there is only the last barrel. Everyone knows that it is reserved for Taishou and Beijia to kill when they are preparing to break the city.

Wei Yubi looked in the direction of Huan Gonggang for a moment, and Du Jia pressed him down to avoid the arrows fired from under the city.

"Don't look at it, we all do our duty and do what we have to do, the Thousand Feather Army is not a team that escapes from the battle, Captain Hu is still watching them!"

"There is a way to capture the thief and capture the king first, but unfortunately this thief is dressed similarly, and there is no way to tell the difference!" Wei Yubi lay on the ground and said what he thought.

At this time, Zada Yuanxian also struggled to determine the location of the enemy's commander, and he did not dare to use the last few secret passages easily.

There is only one chance, and if you appear in the wrong place, you will only fall into a siege and die in vain.

Zada Yuanxian and his subordinates observed for a few days and found that there were seven people who looked like generals together, but unfortunately they were all wearing masks and could not be distinguished. The distance was too far for the arrows to shoot through, and it seemed that the enemy army had already been prepared.

The siege lasted three days and three nights, and finally a gap was opened at the Fuliang Gate to the south.

The morale of the army of the Wandering Ghost Country was high, and they snatched the ladder from the slaves to the city. The defenders in the direction of Fuliang Gate saw that they were overwhelmed, and the army of the Wandering Ghost Country had already landed in the city, and at this time, several lightning bolts appeared in the sky on everyone's heads.

Then, several large fireballs rushed towards the army of the Wandering Ghost Country, and hundreds of people were instantly blown up to pieces.

Those who were lucky enough not to die were also like charcoal, and the troops of the Ghost Country under the city knelt on the ground and prayed with their hands one after another.

Mei Youqian, a Liyang merchant stranded in the city, also led the caravan to carry bricks and wood to Fuliang Gate at this time.

After the prayer of the army of the Wandering Ghost Country, the follow-up troops rushed to Fuliangmen, and the gap had been blocked.

Wei Yubi in Pingxi Gate saw the scene of Fuliangmen in the south, and hammered his chest, "God bless!" If you can retreat from the enemy this time, Du is willing to shave his hair and take refuge in my Buddha as a monk! ”

"My lord, now is not the time to talk about escaping into the empty door. Today's situation is already very critical, according to this way of playing, the city will only be broken in three days! Du has a dangerous plan or can break the enemy, please cooperate with adults! Du Jia stared at Wei Yubi and said very seriously

"You must cooperate, you say!" As soon as Wei Yubi heard that he had a plan, he also came to his senses, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.

"Please choose a hundred dead soldiers, open a secret passage here, and wait for me to go down to the city to surrender, and the enemy commander will definitely see me, and my location is where the enemy commander is. I'll do everything I can to hold him back, and the dead will be able to hit him with one blow when they come out of the ground! ”

"This, no, your trip is a dead end, I can't let you take this risk!" Wei Yubi grabbed Du Jia, for fear that he would go down to the city just now

"My lord, you are confused, I will die, but the whole city has survived, if I don't go, everyone will die together! Why bother! I'm going to prepare the white flag, you go and gather the dead, don't delay any longer, in another hour, they'll be charging again!" Du Jia tore Wei Yubi away

Wei Yubi grabbed Du Jia again, "You go, but you really can't come back, in case it doesn't work, we will abandon the city from the dark way and escape!" ”

"That's a good idea, but can a group of horseless men outrun the enemy's thousands of horses? When the time comes, I will only die more miserably, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm dead, and my wife and children will rely on you to take care of them! Bring a barrel of fiery wine with me every year when I go to the grave! Durga broke away again and went to find a white cloth to make a white flag

Durga walked towards the camp of the Wandering Ghost Country with a white flag, and was soon caught by the Wandering Ghost Nation soldiers, and after some interrogation, they stripped Durga naked and put a rope around Durga's neck.

After a while, another man came and brought a bloody sheepskin and draped it over Duga, and one soldier kicked Durga, and behind Durga another soldier whipped him, and in front of him there was a small leader holding the rope.

They wanted Durga to crawl like a sheep from the ground to their lord. The soldiers of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom came over in twos and threes and laughed, and some slaves also came over to kick Duga.

Wei Yubi on the city wall pounded his chest and gritted his teeth, regretting that he should not let Du Jia surrender, but the matter had come to this point, so he could only hold back his anger and pretend to curse Du Jia loudly on the city wall, a traitor.

The abnormal behavior of the army of the Wandering Ghost Country was seen by Zada Yuanxian, and he sent someone to climb to the top of the tree to take a look, and he knew that someone had gone to the enemy camp.

At this moment, the general direction of the enemy's commander was determined, and Zada Yuanxian also guessed what the situation was.

Zada Yuanxian decided not to drill the dark road, and directly rushed over from Huan Gonggang with 800 cavalry to drive directly to the enemy camp.

When the 800 cavalry came out of the hole in the ground of Huan Gonggang, the army of the Wandering Ghost Country resting on it was caught off guard, and many of them had just picked up their weapons from the ground, and they had already made ghosts under the sword.

The commotion on the Huan Gong post alarmed Tari Sujin, who was urinating on Duga's head.

"Sure enough, it's a conspiracy to kill all of their cavalry!" Tari Sujin shook his lower body a few times and snorted at his subordinates.

Several soldiers immediately went to lead the horses, and no one noticed Durga lying on the ground.

Durga swooped down and bit Tari Suzin's life, and Tari Suzin's roar and wail resounded throughout the battlefield.

Tari Suzin had been carried into the tent by his men, and Durga had been chopped into meat sauce.

Several groups of cavalry, who were going to intercept Zada Yuanxian, ran back to see what had happened to the main general. Zada Yuanxian took advantage of the situation to tear open a big hole and rushed to the camp.

Zada Yuanxian's intention was too obvious, and the rest of the generals of the Wandering Ghost Army immediately reacted and retreated with the main general Tari Sujin.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time a hundred dead men also came out and cut down people in the tent near Tari Sujin.

The lieutenants finally rushed out to protect Tari Sujin to kill all the dead soldiers, and Zada Yuanxian's horse's hooves had already stepped over.

A shot pierced through the two lieutenants, Zada Yuanxian abandoned the spear and drew his sword, the sword flashed, and the head of Tari Sujin fell to the ground!
