Chapter 260: Cruel Methods

Some of the knights of the Hedong Army who were galloping in the formation cheered, as if this camp, like the danger of countless famous cities in the pseudo-Qi, was about to succumb to the military might of the Hedong Army! The Chinese army of Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao, who came from behind, also accelerated their pace, and this kind of city fortress with a perfect defense system, at this critical juncture, the defenders in the city fortress must choose Jīng Rui Xuan Feng to rush out and support the outer defenders. Efforts are made to maintain the integrity of the defense system.

The real battle of defending the city will inevitably be repeatedly fought over in the outer defense system, even if the mobile forces in the city are exhausted one by one. Forcing the city walls to fight for the besieging side or repeatedly fighting for the periphery are two completely different things. The Song Dynasty defended Xiangfan, and fought for several years in the periphery of dangerous places, even if it was surrounded by a moat several hundred meters wide behind it, and the strongest Xiangyang City in the world, the defenders did not easily retreat to the city to defend it. During the Jingkang period, the Bianliang defenders had no ability to resist and let the Jurchen army force the city to go down to the wall, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties would almost only rely on the fortified city with cannons, which can only be said that the army's field ability and fighting will have degraded to a certain extent, and the army with a little combat effectiveness will never do so.

The Chinese army, which is composed of hundreds of heavy cavalry and more light cavalry mastered by Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao, will attack head-on and fight back the defenders who counterattack when the time comes! Under the two black sè Wang flags, Li Cunxiao raised his whip and pointed at the almost submerged camp and said with a smile: "It turns out that this camp is nothing more than this, but it is just a crushing of soil in front of the boots, and it will fall when you step on it." It took so much effort to lure these pseudo-Qi troops out and clean them up, it was really in vain! It's too high to look at these pseudo-Qi thieves! ”

Li Keyong didn't move, stared at the battlefield deadly, and replied lightly: "It's not over yet, what's the hurry?" Li Cunxiao smiled, didn't care, glanced at the direction of the city fortress again, and said in surprise: "Are these pseudo-Qi troops really not able to fight, and they won't come out yet?" That's late! ”

At this moment, inside and outside the camp, whether it was above the camp or a few arrow towers on the periphery, they all stared at the situation in front of the camp with wide eyes. Needless to say, the defenders were already desperately supporting the camp. Arrows, crossbows, arrows, and locusts also come over like sideways. However, when the thousands of captives saw that the village was about to be broken, their eyes were already red, and hundreds of people died, and they didn't feel that there was anything extraordinary.

And for the Hedong Army, what is the side shè arrow rain of the arrow tower in front of them in heavy armor? The reason why we can defend and stabilize is because we can support each other. But at this moment, there is no arrow on the camp, and there is no one behind the battlement, what can you do by relying on an arrow tower alone?

At this moment, when the Hedong Army was immediately high-spirited, and everyone inside and outside the camp was burned. At the head of the fort, a heavy drum suddenly sounded, and this drum was not too loud. But Li Cunxiao and Li Keyong, who were under the king outside the city, heard it clearly, and their hearts were shocked! In an instant, dozens of figures appeared above the camp, and at first, a hundred and ten gray bottles were smashed down with their heads and faces. The ash bottle shattered in the crowd, and white smoke filled the people's heads. Before they could react, the defenders pulled up the cauldron with a pulley and tilted the boiling gold juice down.

The boiling gold juice poured on his body with an unpleasant smell, and it immediately aroused a scream that was not like a human voice! Even if you are wearing armor, you can't stop the gold juice that will be drilled when it hits the cracks, as long as it is touched, even the belt meat will be scalded off! Moreover, so many ash bottles were thrown down in front of him, and the quicklime boiled when it met the water, and a large cloud of white smoke suddenly rose under the fort wall, as if it was boiling a pot. I don't know how many captives burned the boiling quicklime and ran around screaming. Some of them have more quicklime on their bodies, and as soon as they are poured into the golden juice, they are roasted alive in an instant!

It turned out that dozens of long ladders were densely packed with ants attached to the siege captives, crackling and falling continuously. The people under the castle were also in chaos, and headless flies were drilling everywhere. I don't know where to run. Even if there are still people who want to shout and command to stabilize people's hearts, but the screams are resounding all over the sky, where can anyone hear them? The defenders of the village did not stop, and then threw out the black clay pot filled with fire oil. These are all defensive artifacts prepared by the army, which were allocated by the army in Huangchao. The viscous fire oil flowed everywhere as the crockpot shattered, and more than a dozen rockets fell, and a sea of fire suddenly rose under the camp wall. I don't know how many people were set on fire at the moment, screaming and running around.

If you accidentally bump into someone else, you will set everyone else on fire. Some people want to roll on the ground and extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the fire is so powerful that it can be easily extinguished. After rolling a few times, he twitched and gradually did not move, burning and curled up in a ball. Thousands of lives struggled to the captives in front of the puppet Qi Dazhai, and in just a moment, I don't know how many fell! The remnants of the captives have completely collapsed, in their hearts, there is no longer any harsh orders from the Hedong Army, no longer any thoughts of struggling to survive, all they want is to stay away from this Shura field!

Under the camp, the original dense crowd, like an ant's nest meeting water, ran and fled with all shouts, leaving only the blazing fire, billowing black smoke, tired corpses, and the smell of burnt corpses under the camp!

Lin Yan's guards swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and said, "In such a scene, does the Hedong Army still dare to attack us today?" And under the two black sè king flags, Li Ke, who was still smiling just now, had a blue face at this moment. A lifetime of Rong Ma told him that the Hedong army is meritorious, naturally not something he likes to see, an army must face failure, so that it can gradually grow up, the so-called victory in a hundred battles, is just a paper tiger that is pleasing to the ear, once it is punctured, the consequences are unimaginable. But the small fortresses are so stubborn and difficult to attack, and it is not good news for the Hedong military horses, you must know that the Tang Emperor is still waiting for this passage to Xuzhou to be opened! Since he was sent here by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty as a pioneer to meet with the envoys of the major festivals and fight the Yellow Nest together, he naturally has to bear the responsibility together. This camp can't be beaten, in front of the major festival envoys, how can the old prince's face get by.

But Huang Chao's nephew, the guard surnamed Lin, was too ruthless. It could have easily repelled these thousands of captives. But he put them in the closest, so calm. In the end, this ruthless method, not to mention too much, at least took away a thousand lives!
