『Chapter error, click here to report』

Burning the city, the Han army made a risky strategy, using a trick to make the rebels go deep into the city, and then suddenly threw it with a fierce canned of fire oil, supplemented by torches, and finally retreated from the enemy, making the rebels frightened and fleeing. However, even if they won this battle, the rebels would not give up easily, and when the rebels attacked the city again, the offensive would definitely be extremely fierce.

Lu Kang on the city tower knew this, if he couldn't hold it this time, and couldn't drive those rebels who landed in the city off the city, Lu Kang would not implement his long-buried dangerous strategy, after all, this plan to burn the city is not only to kill a lot of enemies, but also to self-inflicted damage.

Because this fire oil is a liquid after all, it will scatter when thrown, if one of your soldiers accidentally throws it in the wrong direction, or breaks it in your own camp, then after the torch is thrown, not only will the rebels suffer casualties, but also many of your own soldiers Ding Zhuang will also be consumed by the flames because of the fire oil.

Of course, this is not the most hurtful to oneself, the most hurtful thing is that when the fire at the head of the city was ignited, the wounded soldiers who were originally defending the head of the city and fighting desperately with the rebels were not dead because they fell to the ground, and they had no time to be treated.

In the era of cold weapons, as long as the wounded soldiers were not seriously injured, they were also very valuable resources in the defense of the city. After all, if it is a small injury, as long as it is treated a little after the battle, even if it cannot fight the enemy with a blade, but they can do things such as logistics such as carrying supplies, and now those Han soldiers with some experience in defending the city Ding Zhuang are covered by fire, which is tantamount to a huge blow to the Han army that does not have too many defenders.

Suddenly there were several shouts in his ears, the sound was tragic, which made Lu Kang feel quite familiar, and when the soldiers under his command informed him, the east gate and the west gate tower were also on fire, and the rebels who poured in above the city gate were burned clean, which forced the rebel soldiers attacking the city outside the two city gates to retreat. The difference is that the defenders of the East Gate were careless for a while, and they actually smashed a can of hot oil, causing more than ten soldiers Ding Zhuang not to die under the rebels' swords and spears, but to die in this unintentional fire, which can be said to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, some of which outweigh the losses.

Today's battle was really unprecedentedly fierce, which made Lu Kang's brows even worse, because he knew in his heart that this fire attack was his last plan to defend the city. If the fire attack can't work, then he has no way at all, and in the end he can only rely on manpower to defend it, but the most difficult thing in the city now is that even Ding Zhuang can't collect much, and if he collects it again, he can only collect those old and weak people in the city.

It's just that the disaster is not a one-way street, when Lu Kang's confidant Sima came to report the details of the remaining troops and materials in the city after the battle just now, Lu Kang's face was even more gloomy.

"There is not enough rolling wood and stone in the city? There are less than 1,000 people left at the East Gate? After listening to Sima's report, Lu Kang quickly grasped the two most critical points, because these were the top priorities of whether he could hold the county seat of Shuxian.

"Exactly."

"The order, east, west, south, the people near the three gates into the official house to stay, summoned the strong to demolish the three gates of the house, for the purpose of rolling wood. Again, those who are more than thirteen years old in the city, less than sixty years old, and have convenient legs and feet, are all summoned outside the south gate, and 200 people from the west gate and 500 people from the south gate enter the east gate, and tell the east and west gate guards, the south gate is worry-free, and the rest is in the city, and the city is broken. ”

"No!"

That Sima seemed to be choked up by the slightly sad tone in Lu Kang's words, this "promise" was like a thousand catties in his mouth, and he left fiercely.

Waiting for Sima to leave, Lu Kang looked at the rebel camp outside the city, and saw the scattered defensive formation of the rebel camp, showing disdain, although he was not good at military affairs, but he also saw at a glance that the defense of the rebel camp was not tight, if he was given a certain elite of the Han army, he would definitely be able to crush the rebel soldiers in the camp. It's just a pity that he doesn't have so many soldiers now, otherwise, if there are extra soldiers, even if the number of soldiers is not enough to break the rebels, he will send soldiers to attack the thief camp at night, so that these rebels will not be able to live in peace.

Thinking of this, Lu Kang couldn't help frowning even more, he remembered the fire when Fuquan attacked the rebels' grain and grass, although the scouts sent out did not find out which Han army it was, and dared to use thousands of soldiers to attack the rebels' grain storage with such audacity, but he, Lu Kang, guessed that the army must be Fuquan.

After all, at this moment, in this Lujiang County, and even in the entire Yangzhou territory, the only one who can have the ability to dispatch troops is the Han army led by Fuquan, who came to ask for help.

As for the reinforcements from other counties in Yangzhou, Lu Kang couldn't count on too much in his heart, because Yangzhou itself is a small populous state, and there are not many soldiers and horses in each county, and Huang Sui suddenly changed his route to attack Lujiang this time, they just want to support immediately, and they have to gather troops and horses from all counties.

However, it is clear that they do not even have enough soldiers to guard in the county, and how many soldiers and horses can they muster to help them in a hurry? It is estimated that there are only a few thousand people, and the others can only be recruited and trained immediately, but this is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, which is also the reason why the Yangzhou Thorn History Department has been writing to let them hold on and wait for reinforcements, but they have not said when they will come, after all, if they bring thousands of people to help, this number is not enough for the rebels to stuff their teeth.

This is also the reason why Lu Kang immediately wrote a letter asking for help after knowing that Fuquan's Yizhou guest army had recovered Qichun County, Jiangxia County, and even did not hesitate to tell the origin of his relationship with the main Zang, that is, he hoped that Fuquan would come to help, but it was because he was too short of soldiers. Since he accepted the stall left by his predecessor, he understood that the reason why the county office could not be governed by the Huang Sui Rebellion was that in addition to the popular support of the Han and barbarian people who were oppressed by themselves, there were too many rebels left, and the Han army in the county office was too few.

And the reason why Lu Kang confirmed that the army that burned the rebels' grain and grass was a soldier under Fu Quan's command, in addition to the fact that there was only this one in the county that could come to help, there was also this kind of night attack with a large number of people, only Fu Quan dared to play so crazy. After all, as Fuquan's achievements in Youzhou and Yizhou spread all over the world, what spread along with his reputation as a "dragon" was the odd and dangerous use of his soldiers, and Fuquan was very fond of night attacks, and for several reasons, Lu Kang naturally confirmed it.

Of course, it was guessed that this was the case, but Lu Kang did not inform his soldiers of the truth, but claimed that it might be the reinforcements from various counties in the state sent by the Yangzhou Assassin History Department. The purpose of this is naturally to appease the morale of the army, after all, if it is said that Fuquan did it, the morale of the soldiers in Shuxian County will definitely not be too high, because everyone knows that Fuquan is a guest army, so he will not bring too many reinforcements, and after a big battle that burned the grain and grass that night, there will not be much saved at all.

Therefore, even if Lu Kang knew the truth, he would not take the initiative to explain it, but instead he wanted to claim that these soldiers were sent by the Yangzhou Thorn History Department, which could not send troops at all at the moment, and the result of this could greatly reassure the soldiers and civilians in the city. After all, if it is a reinforcement sent by the State Assassin History Department, then they will definitely not have less troops to support in the end, in this way, the military and civilians in the city will have a large number of reinforcements that do not exist as a pillar, and naturally the morale and morale of the army will not be easily reduced.

It's just that he hasn't been able to see reinforcements, and Lu Kang doesn't know how long his lie can last. He understands that if there are no more reinforcements in Shu County, he can only lead the soldiers and civilians in the city to hold on for a few more days, and then he can only defend the festival to the death to repay the country's kindness.

Now, Lu Kang only hopes that there will be a miracle that can save the people of Shuxian County, but he doesn't know where this miracle came from.

The summer climate is hot, and most of the corpses scattered all over the city of Shu County emit some unpleasant stench, but now, these stenches are mixed with a strong and choking burning smell, which drifts with the wind all the way to the rebel camp.

At this moment, in the rebel camp, the rebels who had just been attacked and retreated by the Han army after a big battle, after smelling the foul smell of burnt, the faces of most of the soldiers were full of panic. They weren't smoked like this by the smell, but they were frightened, after all, after a big battle, after seeing their colleagues who had been working together hand in hand being burned alive in front of them, that terrifying memory was much more terrifying than when they fought with swords and saw the scene of flesh and blood flying.

In the tent of the Chinese army, there was a burst of angry sounds, the sound was made by one person, but it was Huang Sui, the commander of the rebel army, who had already entered the edge of anger at this time, and he was about to be directly cut down by several Qu Shuai who he sent to preside over the siege.

"Tens of thousands of troops, besieging the city guarded by these thousands of Han troops, tired for days, a bunch of waste."

Huang Sui held a knife in one hand and pointed at the rebel Qu Shuai in front of him who were disheveled in clothes and armor and his hair was scattered, and shouted fiercely. He really felt aggrieved in this battle, after all, watching his soldiers enter the city, he was just one step away from pulling out the flag and breaking the city, and now because of a fire, it was completely destroyed, can this not be angry? You must know that the situation in the city just now was much better than the previous times, and it was really a waste to be repulsed like this.

"The general is angry, the general is angry, who would have thought that Lu Kang's dog official acted such a dangerous strategy and killed many brothers." At this moment, there are other Qu Shuai who have spoken out to admonish Huang Sui and forgive the reprimanded Qu Shuai, even if someone has friction with those Qu Shuai, they will also come forward to help at this time.

The reason why they are like this is really because of the same disease, after all, none of them know who Huang Sui will send to fight, if they are now falling into the well to punish these few commanders, and when they are chosen to attack the city, but they are not captured, then the next unlucky person must be themselves. In this regard, as long as these people do not have bad brains, they naturally know how to choose, in a word, helping others at this moment is helping themselves.

After a while, the anger in Huang Sui's heart finally gradually subsided, and he also understood that even if he severely punished his subordinates now, it was useless, and the top priority was to find a way to break the city, so he looked at everyone and asked, "The only way to break the city is now?" Do you have a good plan? ”

The words were asked, but the rebel commanders in the tent looked at each other after hearing this, and then they all lowered their heads slightly and were silent, obviously there was no good way. In the siege battles in these days, they have used all kinds of methods, but they just can't capture this small Shuxian county, and it can only be said that the Han army commander Lujiang County who is defending the city on the opposite side is really good at guarding Lu Kang.

After waiting for a long time, Huang Sui didn't wait for a reply, and seeing this, he also understood that it was useless for him to ask himself, because his soldiers under his command had no way at all. In the end, after holding each other for a while, Huang Sui had to order all the troops to rest and recuperate, and prepare to continue the siege, and his original promise to slaughter the city remained unchanged, he broke his teeth and completely broke the Shu county town.

Looking at the commanders of the various departments under his command leading the order to leave, Huang Sui became more and more uneasy in his heart, and after thinking that the army's grain and grass barely controlled the supply of various departments was not enough for ten days, he became more and more eager to break the county seat of Nashu County. Because he knew that once he had no food, it would not be far from the failure of his uprising, which was also the fundamental reason why he, as a native of Lujiang County, allowed the rebels under his command to slaughter Shu County, and did not care about the life and death of those fellow villagers in Shu County, because he understood that without food, he would lose everything, even his life, so he must do whatever it takes to break the city.

Outside Shu County, after a period of calm, after the dense rebel army rushed to the city, a tragic siege and defense battle was opened......

On the one hand, the mother's lumbar disc herniation at home, Quan Shi has to take her to the hospital every day, and she can only come back in the afternoon, cook for her and do housework, and she can code the word until the evening, very tired and tired, the doctor said that if the rest and conditioning are not good, you may have to open the waist for surgery; On the other hand, I saw the news that the history textbook should delete the deeds of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others, blurring the Han-Hungarian War, and clearly pointed out that the deeds of Wen Tianxiang and father-in-law are worthy of praise, but they cannot be called national heroes, I just want to say, MMP, I have no objection to strengthening national integration above, after all, all ethnic groups are now Sinicizing, but you are so distorted and vague about the history of the Han people, even if it is sinicized? Think about the green, think about the few people who have always missed the Qing Dynasty and despise the Han people and the country's Manchurian heritage, this is undoubtedly fueling people's arrogance? How can Wen Tianxiang and Yue Fei not be national heroes? Isn't it important? According to what they say, in addition to Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, is he a hero of resistance to the Qing Dynasty? Why don't you delete?

It's just nonsense, and I'm tired......
