Chapter 66: The Dead Body Becomes a Decoration
Yuan Xu sat in the middle army with a ghost piano in front of him.
On the wall of Huaixian County, the battle flag is fluttering, and the Cao army defending the city is ready to defend against the enemy.
Cao Jun stretched out his bow and arrows, aiming at the army of dead corpses outside the city.
The sound of the piano fluttered, and Yuan Xu played the ghost piano.
The army of still standing corpses pushed forward, at first slowly, and after twenty or thirty paces, they began to speed up.
The corpses swarmed and rushed towards the city walls, and the charred ground suddenly sank, and the dead bodies fell into the pit.
Those who fell in first were about to climb to the ground, and those who followed smashed them down.
The dead are not the same as the living.
When the living see the danger, they will stop in time, but the dead will not.
They jump into the pit one after another, just as there is a delicacy in the pit, and whoever jumps slowly will not be able to eat......
At the head of the city, Guo Jia, who had been watching all the time, saw the dead body falling into the pit, and immediately ordered: "Release the rocket!" ”
Cao Jun, who was waiting for the battle, stretched out his bow and arrows, and released countless rockets towards the outside of the city.
The arrows that burst into the fire fell into the deep pit, and instantly ignited a raging fire.
The corpses that had fallen into the pit were covered in flames and were still climbing to the ground.
The corpses that followed behind were not afraid of the flames, and jumped in one by one.
There were too many corpses, and although the pit was dug deep, it was eventually filled.
Between the city wall and Yuan Xu's camp, a barrier of flames appeared.
Countless corpses rushed through the flames and towards the walls.
Many of the corpses were in flames as they passed through the barrier.
Outside Huaixian County, there were fireballs running everywhere.
The army of corpses rushed to the bottom of the city, and when they climbed to the top of the city, they slipped down one after another.
Guo Jia explained to Cao Jun in advance, and also brushed the surface of the city wall with oil.
Not only that, but Cao Jun also piled up dry firewood sprinkled with oil under the city walls.
The corpse burning with flames rushed forward and lit the dry wood, and from Yuan Xu's point of view, the entire city wall seemed to be wrapped in flames.
The flames burned the corpses, and black smoke rose from the foot of the city walls.
Yuan Xu stopped playing the ghost piano and looked at the city wall looming in the flames with an expressionless face.
"Childe." Pang Tong, who was standing beside him, said: "If this continues, the corpse may not be able to break the city. ”
"It's only a matter of time before the city is broken." Yuan Xu replied: "It's just that Guo Fengxiao reminded the whole world how to deal with me this time." ”
"Otherwise, I'll lead the troops to attack the city." Gan Ning on the other side said: "The living are smarter than the dead after all, at least they know how to hide from the fire. ”
"Smart is smart, but also much more vulnerable." Yuan Xu shook his head: "The corpse is burned, I can summon it again, but the soldiers are dead, and the consequences are far more than that." ”
"Guo Fengxiao is playing with fire like this, when will he be able to attack the city?" Gan Ning was a little anxious.
"There's no hurry." Yuan Xu replied: "There will always be a time when the fire will burn out, but our army of the dead will be endless. ”
He didn't plan to let the Taiyuan soldiers attack the city, so Gan Ning didn't say more.
The flames burned, and the city was so hot that it could not stand anyone.
Cao Jun poured cold water on his body, but it was quickly dried.
Buckets of cold water were sent to the city walls, and Cao Jun poured water on his body as he fired flaming arrows outside the city.
The siege lasted from the rising sun to the sunset.
With a tune played by Yuan Xu, the army of the dead retreated one after another.
The flames outside the city were raging, and the retreating corpses retreated beyond the range of Cao's arrows.
Many of the dead bodies were still burning with flames.
The soldiers of the Taiyuan army took water and poured it on them.
The dead body, which had been splashed with water in time, stood there in a daze.
Those who failed to splash the water burned to ashes in the fire and collapsed.
Night fell, but the fire was still not extinguished.
Looking at the Taiyuan military camp outside the city, Xiahoudun said to Guo Jia: "The fire will always be extinguished, and there are still many murderous corpses. ”
"What can you do?" Guo Jia replied: "As long as our people go out of the city, Yuan Xianxin will immediately let the dead bodies pounce on them, and the soldiers are already frightened, who dares to go out with oil?" ”
"What then?" Xiahoudun asked, "Can't you just rely on these at the foot of the city wall?" ”
"Order the soldiers to defend to the death." Guo Jia said: "A few days can be held, as long as Yuan Xianxin is delayed, the lord will have a chance to defeat Yuan Shao in Cangting." The Yuan family was defeated, and with Yuan Xianxin alone, what kind of storm did it set off? ”
Xiahoudun did not say anything.
He didn't think that the war in Cangting would have much impact on Huaixian.
If Yuan Xu cared about the success or failure of the Yuan family, he would not go to the aid of Cangting, and ran to attack Huaixian.
The night was dark, and the flames were getting smaller.
The burning corpses had become ashes, and some of them, though still moving, had long since turned to powder, and with each movement, a lot of scum fell off, and it was impossible to stand up again.
Xu Huang leaned on the battlements and fell asleep for a while.
lost the Tianjing Pass, and he had a deep fear of Yuan Xu for a long time.
Since Yuan Xu came outside the city, his spirit has been tense, and he really can't stand sleepiness, so he leans on the battlements to sleep.
While he was asleep, Xu Huang felt someone gently nudge him.
"Who!" Suddenly opening his eyes, he grabbed the weapon next to him.
"It's me." He heard Xiahoudun's voice.
"Yuan Rang scared me." Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so late, don't stop, tomorrow morning, Yuan Xianxin will definitely attack the city." ”
"I'm talking to you about tomorrow morning." Xiahoudun said: "Defending the city during the day, we rely on fire to stop the dead corpses. You can throw some wood and oil at the bottom of the city, but the ditch will be of no use.
"What Yuan Rang means ......" Xu Huang vaguely understood what he was going to say.
"I'll have to go to town." Xiahoudun said: "No matter what, we can't let the trench be abandoned. ”
"Out of town?" Xu Huang's eyes widened in surprise: "Although a lot of dead bodies have been burned, there are still many ...... that Yuan Xianxin has brought."
"I have two things to do when I go out of town." Xiahoudun interrupted him: "First, it is to contain Yuan Xianxin, so that he has no way to drive the murderous corpse to approach the trench, and you need to take the opportunity to take people to dump oil into it, so as to prepare for another battle tomorrow." The second is to try to kill him in the barracks. Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as he is killed, aren't those dead bodies just decorations? ”
Xiahoudun's statement, Xu Huang actually agreed.
The army of dead corpses was driven by Yuan Xu, as long as he was killed, the siege of Huaixian would be lifted.
"Have you asked Bonghyo?" Xu Huang asked.
"If you ask him, do you think he'll say yes?" Xiahoudun said: "You and I know about this matter. ”
"Yuan Rang is too risky to do this." Xu Huang waved his hand again and again: "Feng Xiao is the main general, I think he should still be asked." ”
"It is precisely because he is the main general that we have to share our worries for him." Xiahoudun asked, "Just say if you want to?" ”
Xu Huang hesitated for a moment and asked, "How many people are you going to take out of the city?" ”
"Two hundred fine riders. Raiding the enemy camp, with too many people, gets in the way. ”
