The Han garrison in Longping City was only 20,000, and Shanyue participated in the attack as many as 60,000, which was three times as many as the Han army, but this does not represent anything, the number of people is just a factor that may affect the war.

In this backward ancient times, if you want to attack the city head-on, in addition to high-level things such as catapults and cars, the only way can only be to climb the city wall, which is the so-called ant attachment tactics, and it is obvious that for these Shanyue people, they may not know what the car is, so they can only choose to set up a ladder to climb the city wall, which is a very dangerous job, some Shanyue warriors have not even set up a ladder, they were shot into hedgehogs by the defenders on the city wall.

"Warriors, rush!" Finally set up all the ladders, a middle-aged man dressed as the leader of the Shanyue tribe recited a spell in a foreign language, blessed those Shanyue warriors with an inexplicable brilliance (military teacher skills), and shouted the slogan of the charge.

"Set the oil on fire!" Gan Ning stood on the top of the city wall and saw those black-skinned monkey-like Shanyue tribes climbing the ladder to come up, and commanded very calmly.

The fire oil had been prepared to be placed on the edge of the city wall a long time ago, and as soon as Gan Ning gave the order, the soldiers over there poured it down one by one and poured it on those Shanyue warriors.

The skin of the human body blended with the hot oil, just like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, and immediately made a tooth-sore squeak, and then the screams of those Shanyue warriors came out, the whole layer of skin was burned, and the severe pain almost made them lose all their minds at that moment, and they fell down the ladder one after another, some were killed on the spot, and some were trampled to death by the companions who rushed forward and rushed when they still had their last breath.

This scene is undoubtedly very cruel, but this is only the beginning, whether it is Gan Ning on the city wall, or the faces of several leaders of the Shanyue tribe under the city have not changed in the slightest, and the attack of the Shanyue tribe has not stopped at all, and wave after wave of Shanyue warriors quickly climbed up from the ladder, hoping to reach the tall city wall.

However, this is obviously an extremely difficult thing, for Gan Ning and the others, who have long been fully prepared, if they let the enemy climb the city wall so easily, then he, a famous general in a hundred battles, might as well go and crash into a piece of tofu and die, on the city wall, those pots of fire oil were poured down one after another, and in addition, they also carried all kinds of similar stones and sassalwood and threw them down the city wall.

This is not a technical job, the Shanyue army under the city is one after another, almost the city is densely crowded, almost every piece of rolling stone and sassa can be smashed into the body of several Shanyue soldiers, some unfortunate were directly smashed into the head, and the brains died side by side on the spot, but it is only a matter of time before they do not die, in this case, even if they can avoid the Han army's sassato wood, they can not escape the pressure of their companions around them, this is war, except for killing and blood, there is no warmth.

This scene lasted for two hours, the sky was about to darken, the corpses of the Shanyue tribe were stacked pile after pile under the tall city gate of Longping County, there was blood everywhere, Longping County is a small city without a moat, so most of this blood seeped into the soil, bringing a different kind of charm and beauty to the simple and unpretentious thick soil, as if dyed red paint.

"Retreat!" Two kilometers away from the city gate, several leaders of the Shanyue tribe were riding horses to pay attention to the battle in front of them, seeing that the Han army on the city wall was still in good spirits and did not have the slightest support, they discussed in a low voice, and finally a middle-aged man blew the horn of retreat and ordered the troops to retreat on all fronts.

Whether it is for the soldiers of the Shanyue tribe or the Han army, this is a temporary good news, as the orders of the Shanyue leaders are conveyed layer by layer, those Shanyue warriors have retreated, they finally don't have to climb the damn city wall, and the soldiers of the Han army can finally take a breath and no longer need to tense their nerves.

"Whew!" Watching those Shanyue tribes slowly retreat to set up camp, Gan Ning exhaled softly, sat in place and rested for a while, then took the kettle from the side of the guard next to him and drank a few sips, and then shouted: "Ling Cao!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Ling Cao was wearing iron armor, and approached with a rattling sound from the vibration of the iron armor when he walked.

"Tell the scribes accompanying the army to count the casualties of the soldiers!" Gan Ning asked expressionlessly.

"It has been counted, we have 257 dead soldiers and 470 wounded, of which 60 are seriously injured and 14 are disabled!" Ling Cao replied.

"So many?" Gan Ning's face was a little unsightly.

"Most of them were killed or injured by the stray arrows fired by these aliens from under the city, and only a few were killed by a few people rushing up the city wall from Yamagoe." Ling Cao explained.

"These aliens have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and they have some understanding of archery!" Gan Ning sighed and asked again, "

What about the casualties of the alien race? ”

"Well, it hasn't been counted yet!" Ling Cao said with some embarrassment.

"According to my estimates, these aliens should have suffered about five thousand casualties!" Lu Su walked over at this time and said softly.

"Only five thousand?" Gan Ning frowned when he heard this, obviously a little dissatisfied. Although the ratio of casualties between them and Shanyue is 1:10, it is because today's fire, oil, rolling stones, sasswood, and other armaments are sufficient to have such an effect, and after today's squandering, most of those things have been used, and I am afraid that they will be used up almost by tomorrow.

"General Gan, don't worry, these alien races have just arrived, it is the time when morale is the strongest, we can cause six times the casualties is good, in a few days, these mountains will not be able to take advantage, their own food and grass are not enough, then they are panicked." Lu Su smiled with satisfaction.

"Hey, military advisor, I'm not sad because of these, it's just that we don't have much fire oil and other things, and when we run out, our soldiers will almost have to fight those aliens head-on, although I am sure that I can repel these aliens, but the casualties of the soldiers will probably increase!" Gan Ning sighed. After staying with his own lord for a long time, he naturally got a little bit of the lord's habits, and he has always loved the soldiers.

"Even if it's a war, there's no way to do it, let alone fight against these aliens, if it weren't for the bloody battles of these soldiers, it would be the countless people in Jiangdong who would suffer!" Lu Su said softly.

"I know!" Gan Ning nodded, and then said to Lu Su: "The military advisor is a literary body, but today he can accompany our martial artists to the city wall in person, it is really courageous, Gan Ning can be regarded as admired." ”

"Haha, don't treat me as that kind of weak scholar, although I, Lu Su, am not good at martial arts, but I have also learned swordsmanship for a few days, and self-protection should not be a problem!" Lu Su said with a smile.
