Chapter 37 Smoke Rises

"General, under this scenario, heavy snow will come soon." Li Kui followed Huangpu Xuan to the front line, his expression was indifferent, the armor on his body was tattered, and after being stained with blood, he was erect, like a flower child, but his face was resolute, and the look of condensation in his eyes made people shudder. "It's just that the general is so easy to let the Rong siege equipment into the valley, and the Black Flag Pass is afraid that it will face a catastrophe, so the general thinks that the general will order the attack in advance."

"Wait a little longer, when all the siege equipment of the Rong people enters the valley, you immediately take the tiger and leopard battalion and 3,000 crossbowmen to block the mountain pass with fire and oil, cut off the 10,000 troops attacking the city in front, and connect with the right flank of the Rong people. As long as we destroy the siege equipment of the Rong people in this battle, the Rong people have no siege equipment, and hold on until the heavy snow covers the mountain, see how arrogant the Rong people are? "Huangpu Xuandao, having said that, but it is extremely difficult to hold the mountain pass, if it succeeds, it is okay, if it is not successful, more than 20,000 soldiers may all be killed, every step, must be cautious.

"Yes, the last general swears to defend the mountain pass!" Li Kui gladly accepted the order, turned around and led the people away.

"Feng Shihu, Hou Mingfeng, immediately attack with a ballista to attract the attention of the other party, make this scene more realistic, and buy time for General Huangpu." The fire attack plan was formulated by Liu Xuanyuan himself, and after discussing with Huangpu Xuanyuan, everyone unanimously agreed.

At this moment, the Rong siege troops were going deep into the mountain road, and Liu Chengfeng hurriedly gave an order. If this plan succeeds in blocking the Rong people, the people led by Huangpu Xuan, the casualties will not be too large, if the time and place are not satisfied, and fail to stop the Rong people from attacking, Huangpu Xuan and other 20,000 soldiers, their lives are at stake, Feng Shihu and Hou Mingfeng must also abandon the pass and go south.

"Yes!" The two of them said in unison, turned around and ran on the city wall, and shouted: "Place the crossbow guns immediately and shoot the other party's siege soldiers." ”

After yesterday's battle, the recruits also adapted to the tension and bloody killing, and hurriedly set up ballistas. The ballista is equipped with a crossbow gun, which is extremely powerful, has a long range, and has strong penetrating power, and sometimes, if an attack point is set up, when the crossbow gun is fired into the bricks and tiles of the city wall, the soldier can attack the city with the climbing point formed by the crossbow gun. However, Liu Xuanyuan ordered a crossbow attack, but the purpose was to block the opponent's progress and attract the opponent's attention.

At dusk, the siege troops of the Rong people, under the suppression of crossbow guns, still pushed all the siege equipment into the mountain pass. At this time, at the entrance of the mountain pass, all kinds of rolling logs prepared in advance rolled down from the mountain. Before the Rong people had time to react, a large number of packages and rockets filled with animal fat oil quickly fell from the sky at a filling speed.

The soldiers, who had already been fully prepared, just waited for the general to give the order, and this will, Li Kui seize the battle in time and attack quickly.

In the fierce cold wind, a raging fire burned at the mouth of the mountain pass, and with the strong wind, it continued to pour into the valley, and the fire was spreading and the fire was increasing.

"Shoot, rockets shoot quickly, don't pity the oil, arrows!" The fire at the mouth of the mountain road spread and rushed towards the valley, and Huangpu Xuan began to attack him despite the Rong people, roaring loudly, ordering the soldiers hidden everywhere to attack.

The arrows rained down, and the arrows were covered with fire and oil, and many young people who spontaneously organized to defend the city threw large pieces of oil-soaked rags in their hands, or including oil, and threw the whole piece of oil to the mountain crossing, all of which were flammable, burning rapidly under the fire and strong winds. Soon, with the fire pouring into the mountain pass, the fire spread more and more throughout the mountain road, like a fire dragon hovering in the valley.

"What's going on?" The general of the Rong tribe who was attacking the Black Flag Pass in front heard the continuous screams behind him, turned his head to look, and found that the fire behind him was blazing, near the mouth of the valley, like magma erupting, a red light, and he was shocked, and hurriedly asked the soldiers around him.

"No, I don't know!" The soldier was at a loss, not knowing what was happening in the rear. At this time, a soldier from behind quickly rushed up, his face was black, his hair was burned, and he stammered: "General, the Yan people launched a fire attack at the mountain pass, and the siege troops behind could not enter the valley, and -----, and the fire quickly spread into the valley through the strong wind. ”

"How, how is that possible?" The leading general was so shocked that he almost tumbled off the siege vehicle and grabbed the mast of the siege vehicle to avoid a catastrophe.

"Yes, general, the Yan people used rolling wood, oil, and fire to light a fire at the mountain pass, and the general ordered people to charge many times, but the fire was too big to attack at all." The soldier said.

"Then, why didn't the general attack the Yan army on the hills?"

"Yan Jun is like crazy, the mountain road that climbs the mountain, flowing with animal fat, the fire is extremely fierce, blocking the road on the mountain, and it seems that he is ready to die with us." The soldier said.

"Impossible, impossible!" The general of the leading army turned pale and could not believe the truth, because it meant that the more than 10,000 people he brought in, as well as all the siege equipment, would all be buried in the sea of fire. "Before the siege and fire come, you must break through the Black Flag Pass, otherwise, everyone will all be buried in the fire." I have to say that although this general is cowardly, he is also a little witty and knows how to judge the situation.

The stronger the wind, the stronger the fire, the morale of the Yan army was better than under the night sky, and the firelight stained half of the sky. Huangpu Xuan gave a death order, even if the Liuli Mountain Road was burned to scorched earth, he could not let the Rong people who were besieging the city leave.

The rocket passed through the wind, and shot to the ground with black pressure, tied to oil, and after landing, it immediately burned most of it on the ground, and the fire that had been spreading became more and more fierce.

On the mountain road, the Rong people can't stop the rapid spread of the fire, in the face of the fire that burns the siege equipment, like a frightened bird, fleeing from the siege equipment in a hurry, but on the mountain road, there are flames burning on all sides, there is no hiding place, the Rong soldiers, really called the sky should not be, called the earth and the earth are not spiritual.

"Bastard, bastard!" Outside the mountain pass, Yelutelle walked back and forth, like a butt sitting on a nail, half a night, he heard the screams of ghosts crying wolves in the mountain road, and his heart was about to explode, 10,000 cavalry, hundreds of siege equipment, so easily buried in the fire, but the Yan army did not pay the equal price.

Anger to anger, but unfortunately can not be rescued, the raging fire lasted until dawn, the Yan army came before midnight with more than four reinforcements, a battlefield offensive is more fierce, the people in the mountain pass, can not rush out, people outside the mountain pass, can not rush in, several attacks on the hills, and was blocked by the fire, Jerodiel almost despaired, the scimitar in his hand is about to cut off the big tree not far from the mountain pass, which is enough to have a bowl mouth.

"General--General! Hurry up----- get back to help! The left-wing battalion was attacked by an unknown number of cavalry. Looking at the sky-high flames and madness, Yelu Tiele Jue's battle, his tactics, and his life were trampled on and insulted. When he was swearing in his heart that he would take revenge in this life, a soldier from the rear quickly ran up, stammering and coming from bad news. Jerodiel's head buzzed, and he felt that his thinking was insufficient.

"What?" Jerodiel was in disbelief, seeing 10,000 cavalry and siege equipment all buried in the flames, his anger had not yet had time to vent, let alone subsided. At this moment, there was bad news from the Rong battalion, which was still demoralized, and the left-wing battalion, turned back and forth in the same place three times, raised the scimitar in his hand, and cut down the big tree with one sword, and his brain became a pot of porridge.

Bai Yisheng and the four of them, for several days, wandered on the grassland, occasionally attacked the small tribe of the Rong people, paid close attention to the movements of the Rong people, although they knew the situation of the Rong people, they did not dare to act easily and attacked the Rong camp.

The Rong people are too powerful, the whole camp stretches for dozens of miles, the four of them have never seen such a situation before, there is a sense of cowardice in their hearts, and the panic of the Rong people still occasionally surrounds their hearts.

At midnight, the messenger sent an edict written by the emperor himself, the content of which clearly showed that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the fact that the four of them with tens of thousands of light cavalry were fighting on the grassland and could not relieve the pressure of the Black Flag Pass.

But the emperor also encouraged the four of them, if there is a suitable fighter, the four of them can be bolder, the steps can be faster, don't be afraid of failure, failure can make a comeback, and so on.

The four of them discussed and decided to take advantage of the fact that the right wing of the Rong nationality was focused on the Black Flag Pass, and when Huzang led the 50,000 Chinese army to the Bauhinia Pass, taking advantage of the new defeat of the left flank and the weak defense of the Chinese army, after midnight, the four of them could do one vote. Immediately, after some detailed planning, Bai Yisheng targeted the attack on the left-wing battalion with a similar number and low morale, which was also the tribe of Yelu Tieshi.

However, the four of them planned very clearly, they would fight if they could, and they would withdraw if they couldn't, and they would never let the Rong people bite their tails. After all, no matter how weak the morale of the Rong people is, the Chinese army is weak, and there are 100,000 cavalry.

With this, Linghu Zang led 50,000 elite Chinese troops to run long distances and successfully attacked Bauhinia Pass.

This night, the Black Flag Pass, the Rong Nationality Battalion, the Bauhinia Pass, the shouting and killing never stopped, the killing was staged in turn, the mountain road near the Black Flag Pass cremated tens of thousands of Rong cavalry, the Rong Nationality left wing camp was damaged, nearly 10,000 people, killed in the night attack, the Chinese army and the right wing rescued, the attackers disappeared without a trace. The Bauhinia Guan Rong people of the Jin Kingdom won a complete victory, grabbing tens of thousands of grains, horses, cattle and sheep, and anything of value. The problem of food for the winter has been completely alleviated, but it has left behind a mess and nearly 100,000 homeless people.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Feng led his troops to reach the Black Flag Pass, but before entering the pass, the smell of burning in the air had already spread to the outside of the pass, and the sky was gray, pouring out the dust, mixed with the scattered snowflakes on the empty ground, and fell on the ground and turned into a pool of black water.

After entering the customs, he saw the ruined city wall, the charcoal black mountain road outside, and the hideous dried corpses on the ground, Rao is Lin Feng has experienced the era of hot weapons, and has seen many scorched earth wars, and he has to sigh secretly, what a miserable, so tragic battle.

Fortunately, although the Rong cavalry was born on horseback to grow up, it is a pity that the siege of the city and the seizure of the land, not the strength of the Rong cavalry, the Black Flag Pass is built by the mountain, there are six or seven miles of mountain road in front of it, it is not convenient for the cavalry to charge, otherwise, the Rong cavalry will be killed, with the powerful siege equipment, the Black Flag Pass will inevitably be lost.
