The tent was full of generals and officials, the oil lamps in the corners flickered, and the names of insects in the wild were muffled by the noise of the barracks.

Zhao Junsheng sat on Maza, put his right hand on the desk and kept tapping, and asked slowly: "What are the total casualties in the siege of the city in the past few days?" ”

Gao Jinyi walked out with a ashamed face and replied with a fist: "Two hundred and sixty-two people were killed in the battle, and fifty-six people were injured!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a while when he heard this, his hand knocking on the desk stopped, and said categorically: "Our army has been blocked here for five days, and it can't be delayed any longer, and tomorrow we must fight and go down to Baidao Pass!" ”

The next day, when most of the soldiers were still asleep, the three hundred selected warriors had already assembled at this time, and they did half an hour of morning exercises under the leadership of the vanguard general Lan Yun.

After the morning exercise, the sky was already abundant, and the men also prepared food for them at this time, and the soldiers began to take the dishes and chopsticks to the room to receive the food under the leadership of Lan Yun, and there were more than 100 soldiers and generals of the siege camp who ate with them.

After the full meal, they had half an hour of rest, and everyone sat in groups on the grass in the camp and chatted without a match, no matter how indifferent they were to life and death, but when they really faced a big war, they were also inevitably afraid and fearful, which was human instinct, so these soldiers could not do it to laugh.

Lan Yun walked over and saw that the atmosphere between the soldiers was a little dull, as if this battle was a mortal situation for them, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's the same as the dead grandmother?" Let me tell you, this battle is not so dangerous, it is easier and simpler than the previous day, and you will know it as soon as it starts! Okay, cheer up Lao Tzu, and then Lao Tzu will take you to attack the city, if you want to die, Lao Tzu will die first, with Lao Tzu with you, you are still afraid of a bird! ”

Lan Yun's words made the three hundred generals have some vitality, and they relaxed a lot.

A soldier ran over and reported: "General, the king has ordered the siege to begin in half an hour!" ”

"Got it!" Lan Yun nodded, turned around and raised his hand to the three hundred soldiers: "I heard it, everyone got up and checked the weapons, armor, bows, crossbows and arrows, and lined up to prepare for departure!" ”

Within three minutes, the line was over, and some of them wore crooked helmets, and Lan Yun stepped forward to straighten them one by one.

"Let's go!"

Lan Yun set off first with three hundred siege armor soldiers, and then more than a hundred soldiers from the siege camp drove out of the camp with carriages pulling carts of siege equipment parts and followed behind these soldiers.

Soon, three hundred armor soldiers and soldiers from the siege camp arrived in front of Baidao Pass in a carriage, and Zhao Junsheng had already arrived here with a large number of generals and soldiers.

Lan Yun relined the team, and then came to Zhao Junsheng to report: "King, three hundred warriors are ready, ready to start attacking the city at any time!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, you go to the front of the pass to shout, let the defenders surrender, Lone can not be blamed in the past, if they continue to resist, Lone's anger is absolutely unbearable for them!" ”

"Yes!" Lan Yun clenched his fists and agreed.

He immediately ran forward to a stone's throw away from the city, raised his head and shouted to the city tower: "Listen to the defenders of Baidao Pass, the king of my family has an order to order you to surrender immediately, but you are not to blame for the past, otherwise what awaits you can only be destruction!" ”

An arrogant and exaggerated laugh came from the castle tower: "Hahaha······ You waited for five days in a row and failed to climb the city wall, but now you have the cheekiness to ask us to surrender, and you are ashamed to threaten you, don't you know if you are ashamed? ”

Lan Yun held back his anger and said loudly: "Now that the Rouran people are attacking Wuchuan, what is the reason why you not only assist the Rouran people in attacking Wuchuan, but also prevent our army from coming to the rescue?" The war between our country and Daqian is just a brotherly dispute, but coming to Daqian attracts foreign enemies, is he not afraid of luring the wolf into the house, and once the wolf succeeds, he will occupy the territory and not leave? In this way, you are an accomplice to the abuse! Have you ever thought that once the Rouran people enter the Central Plains, your relatives will inevitably be affected, and then you will regret it! ”

There was silence on the city tower for a while, Lan Yun and the cadres and soldiers thought that the guards on the city tower might have been persuaded and were thinking about the matter of surrendering, but soon there was a shout from the city tower: "The Han people are really good at rhetoric and trickery, and the general almost fell in love with you!" What brotherly dispute, what lures the wolf into the house? When did my Great Wei and Qianguo become brothers? You can also afford to look up to yourself, no matter what you say, you don't want to make this general surrender, and you have the ability to see the real chapter under your hands! ”

"Okay, well, the chance to live has been given to you, but you don't want it, and you will blame me for being ruthless later. Since you are willing to be martyred for the great and decaying Northern Wei Dynasty, this general will fulfill you! ”

After Lan Yun finished speaking, he turned around and came back to report to Zhao Junsheng: "King, the guards will be stubborn, and the final general will be incompetent, and they will not be able to convince them!" ”

"Then let's attack the city!" Zhao Junsheng said and waved his hand, "Let the siege camp set up a trebuchet and use fire oil bombs!" ”

The particularity of the oil bomb is that it is mixed with flammable igniters, and once it is thrown out and broken, it is easy to catch fire and burn, and its power has been fully tested and proved in the battle with the Southern Dynasties.

Six trebuchets were set up on the mountain road by the soldiers of the siege camp, divided into three rows of two in each row.

"General Blue, the trebuchet is ready, do you want to launch it?"

Lan Yun listened to the report of the soldiers of the siege battalion, and immediately said, "Launch!" ”

At the sound of an order, six trebuchets threw out dozens of fire oil bombs at the same time, and these fire oil bombs burned in the sky and quickly smashed into Baidao Guancheng, dragging out long black smoke tails in the sky, and the generals on both sides only heard a whistling sound in the sky.

"Bang Bang Bang ······" The fire oil bombs smashed on the walls of the city wall, the city tower, and the gate made a dull sound after smashing, and to the surprise of the defenders, these fire oil bombs began to ignite and burn from the flames after they were smashed.

"It's not good, put out the fire, put out the fire!" The guard shouted in surprise and ordered.

There was no water in front of the pass, so the defenders could only step on it with their feet and use their weapons to fight the fire, but many soldiers began to burn after their feet were stained with fire oil, and in the blink of an eye, they became burning people.

The whole city and many places in the city were set on fire, and the empty city was also ablazed, and the defenders of the city were unable to stand on the city wall after many of their comrades were engulfed in the fire, and had to retreat from the wall, but they were surrounded by the fire inside the city.

All the houses in the city, such as barracks, houses, stables, and firewood houses, were burned, and the entire city was burned into a sea of fire, and the remaining defenders had no place to stand at all, so they could only try to find a place where there was no fire to stand, but the high temperature around them was also unbearable, a large amount of oxygen in the air was consumed, and the defenders were suffocated to death one by one, and some were scorched.

The fire burned for more than an hour, and when the fire decreased, the blue clouds went to zero, and more than a dozen soldiers carried battering rams and crashed into the already burned city gate.

"Bump", the city gate that had already been burned to the point was knocked out of a big hole by the battering ram, and after several hits in succession, the city gate was completely dilapidated, and the soldiers dragged the wreckage and threw it out of the city gate hole.

There is still a fire burning on the city wall, and although the fire has decreased, it is not yet possible to climb up, and can only enter through the city gate.

After the city gate was demolished, it was not finished, and there were still a large number of stones blocked in the city gate hole, and it was no wonder that the city gate that had been hit for five days was always immovable, and it turned out that it had been blocked by a large number of stones.

Lan Yun shouted to the soldiers to carry the stones out of the city gate hole, as the so-called number of people is strong, the stones in the city gate hole that were tightly stuffed were quickly moved away by the soldiers one by one.

The stone in the city gate cave was finally emptied, and Lan Yun pulled out his war knife and pointed at the city, shouting: "Brothers, rush me!" ”

"Kill—" One by one, the cadres and soldiers with wet blankets on their heads and face toggles on their mouths and noses rushed into the city gate with swords.

The expected battle did not take place, because most of the defenders in Baidaoguan had already died, and those who were still alive were already dying.

The cadres and generals who rushed in with weapons saw groups of guards crowded into the open space near the corner, and when they walked in, they saw that these people had been scorched, and some were curled up on the ground, and their throats were all scratched by themselves.

There were also some who were dying, but these people were blistered all over their bodies, and they couldn't survive even if they saw it.

"A few of you are looking at these people, and the others are going to search all corners separately, you guys come with me!"

With the assignment of Lan Yun, the soldiers and generals acted separately in units, and some of the defenders who were hiding were searched out one by one and concentrated on guarding, Lan Yun took a few soldiers to avoid the still burning flames and walked all the way to the gate of the north city wall, and found that the city gate was open, everything around was burned, and the ground was full of charred corpses, but it was obvious that someone had escaped.

"Come on, go and bring in a team of cavalry!"

A moment later, a group of cavalry galloped to the gate of the northern city, and Lan Yun pulled one of the soldiers off his horse, stepped on his horse and waved his hand: "Follow me to pursue the fleeing defenders!" ”

"Yes!"

The horse team galloped on the mountain road for a moment or so before catching up with the defenders who had escaped from Baidao Pass, Lan Yun pulled out his war knife and shouted: "Kill-"

"Kill—"

The horses galloped past, slashing past one after another, and the overtaken defenders fell to the ground one by one, and blood kept coming out of the wounds on their backs.

After chasing and killing for a moment, until there was no longer any way to see the fleeing defenders in front, Lan Yun and the cavalry of the cadre army stopped their horses and looked back, only to see that the mountain road when they came was covered with the corpses of the fleeing defenders.

"Leave one of the people to follow the general, and the others stay to clean up the battlefield and clear the road! Who, you go and report to the king, the fleeing defenders have all been chased and killed, and now the last general will take a cavalry to the front to investigate, and as soon as there is news of Wuchuan City, someone will be sent back to report immediately! ”
