Chapter 56: The Bloody Battle in Yuzhong (6)
As Ying Guang expected, the soil that had absorbed water was frozen very well under the action of cold dew, and the Qiangyue clans who originally planned to attack the city early in the morning also gave up their original plans, and it would not be long before enough sunlight would melt the frozen soil, and there was no need to damage the people and horses in vain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the big tent, Batan proudly said to the two leaders: "Looking at the performance of the Qin army, we can see that its plan is exhausted, and I have to resort to these tricks to delay time, but unfortunately God bless my grassland people, it will not take half a day, our warriors can go out to attack the city, and when the sunset comes, Yuzhong will definitely be in my hands, Batan congratulates the two leaders in this first." ”
Noah and Grumu looked at each other and smiled, nodded, raised his hand to let Batan sit down, Noah said: "According to the report of the spies in the Chu State, the battle of the Three Kingdoms to attack Chu will not be completed with the participation of the Qin State, and in a few days, the Mengwu of the Qin State will return to Xianyang with the troops, fortunately, we can take Yuzhong today, control the gateway to Longxi, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and this will also have the capital to dialogue with the Qin State." ”
Grumu bowed his head and said: "Yes, my two clans are united, and their power is not weaker than that of the other six countries, and taking Yuzhong is equivalent to holding the throat of Qin's westward advance, and Qin should be jealous." ”
"Congratulations to the head man for winning this great victory, and from now on he should be on an equal footing with the Qin State." Batambai fell to the ground, and there was laughter in the tent.
Perhaps it was really the blessing of God, but before noon, the frozen soil on the slope under the city wall had thawed, and the dripping muddy water turned the battlefield outside the city into a land of Ze, and everywhere was muddy, and horses could not walk. The leather boots of the infantry of the two tribes are hung with yellow mud, when the ground is flat, it is okay, once they rush up the slope, the feet are deeply trapped in the mud, and at the same time they try their best to pull out one foot, the other foot will only sink deeper, plus the crossbow arrows on the head are shot, and it is unavoidable, which can be described as miserable.
However, the leaders of the two clans could not postpone the siege because of these difficulties, but instead sent the elite of the clan, and they must be drummed down. So the brutal siege battle just began directly into the white heat, the dense infantry army squeezed together, hands and feet desperately climbed upward, the defenders on the head of the city did not need to aim at all, as long as the bow and arrow were shot out, it would definitely cause damage to the enemy, many wounded and undead barbarians lay on the slope, before they had time to shout, they were trampled into the dirt by the infantry who followed behind, or trampled to death or suffocated, under the attack of the red-eyed barbarians regardless of losses, the layers of corpses finally covered the slope, The people in the back don't have to worry about getting stuck in the mud anymore, because there are dead bodies underneath.
The first to rush to the head of the wall was a Qiang warrior, Xu was affected by the tragic atmosphere on the battlefield, his eyes were red, his mouth let out an unknown roar, one hand brandished a scimitar, the other hand tightly buckled the battlement, just when he was about to climb the city and fight to the death with the Qin army, a large wooden barrel fell from the sky to smash the hope that had arrived, and then a water dragon aimed at the barbarians under the city, and the pungent fire oil sprayed out, splashing all over the leather armor on the barbarians, The same liquid bubbled out of the broken wooden barrel under the city, as if pressing the static button, everyone's eyes were focused on the broken wooden barrel, a nearby barbarian carefully dipped his fingers in some liquid and put it under his nose, the next second, countless rockets were shot on the city, and the fire oil suddenly burned violently when it met the open flame, and the fire snake spread rapidly along the slope, and in just a few seconds there were countless torch-like fire people on the slope, they howled, ran, and fell heavily to the ground, Still crawling forward desperately, the smell of barbecue filled the air.
The melted ice water became the best fire agent, and the sack wrapped in corpse oil burned violently, and the defenders at the head of the city had to retreat far away, and the fire burned all night, and the tongues of fire lit up half of the night sky, reflecting the pale faces of the two tribes outside the city.
Inside the tent, Noah had knocked over everything that could be overturned, Batan knelt in the corner tremblingly, Grumu was gloomy and silent, and only Noah's heavy gasps could be heard in the tent.
"What a ruthless method! It's a pity that I have a whole thousand Qiang elites! ”
"Humph!" Grumu slapped his thigh violently, and said angrily: "My Yue Clan's elite has also lost more than 800 people!" ”
Noah tried hard to calm himself down, and said fiercely: "Pass my military order, after breaking the city tomorrow, slaughter the city for three days, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”
Batan trembled and said, "Chief, I'm afraid I won't be able to attack the city smoothly tomorrow." ”
Noah was furious, stepped forward and kicked Batan far away, and asked in a dark voice: "Don't you know that those who disturb the hearts of our army are guilty of death!" ”
Batan was shocked, put his head on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The head man doesn't know, the soil under the slope has long been fragile after being frozen and burned, and the sack that binds it has been burned out, and it will turn into fine powder if it collides with a little collision, and it can't bear manpower at all." ”
Taking a deep breath, Batan boldly said, "In other words, the height of the slope will probably drop a lot, and it will not reach the top of the city." ”
"Get out of here! Don't let me see you! With a roar, I saw Batan rushing out of the big tent with a rolling belt, and in a panic, he didn't even notice that his hat had fallen.
In Yuzhong City, Ying Guang lay on the wall, threw the stones in his hand to the city, sure enough, the fragile mud slag could not bear the weight at all, and the night wind blew out far away, it can be said that the Qiang people's calculation of building soil and attacking the city was completely broken. Ying Guang is determined that as long as there is a city wall to follow, he can firmly consume the alliance army of the two clans here!
Count the days, tomorrow's baggage from Xianyang should also arrive, and it will be easier to defend the city at that time.
Xianyang Qin Palace, King Zhao looked at the battle report sent back in front of him, although his face was expressionless, but he nodded secretly in his heart, Ying Guang's performance in the battle of Yuzhong was remarkable, and he was a talent that could be created, but his identity was always a piece of King Zhao's heart, and he walked back and forth in the palace a few times, and after a stick of incense, a secret order was passed out of the Qin Palace, and it was quickly delivered to Meng Wu's desk.
At this time, the Mengwu army is still forty miles away from Xianyang, just set up camp, the palace attendant quickly sent himself a secret order of King Zhao, after retreating left and right, Mengwu opened the sealed bamboo slip, the general content of the above is: "The whole army of Mengwu replenishes grain and grass on the overlord, and then does not have to go back to Xianyang to restore his life, directly raise troops to Longxi to replace Yingguang, after arriving in Longxi, make Yingguang quickly return to Xianyang to resume his life, such as Yingguang disobeys, cut and decide!" ”
Meng Wu was shocked when he saw it, this was the king who was suspicious of Ying Guang, but he didn't know what Ying Guang had done in Longxi, which caused the king to be so suspicious! After thinking about it again and again, Meng Wu summoned Montaigne to enter the account, and he didn't know what he had explained, but it didn't take long for Montaigne to take his own clan soldiers and leave the camp quickly.
