After several bloody battles, Qin Yong, the cavalry general, ate and lived in the city tower, and he was not afraid of the Huns' soldiers at all. There is really no need to worry too much, after all, the tower is located above the city gate, in the middle of the city wall of Lixu, more than half a mile away from the steep mountain walls on both sides, and the Huns' stone throwers are not threatened by any means. If the city tower is seized, but it is just a dead country, the Qin clan will definitely not tolerate those who flee from the battle, even Qin Yong, the current patriarch!

Even later, the Huns' day and night assault regardless of casualties, and the crazy energy made Qin Yong, a battle-hardened veteran, quite surprised, but he didn't expect that the Huns, who had never been good at tough battles, would have such a ruthless role as the Right Xian King.

Since the first battle, the number of Han soldiers who have gathered here has reached 80,000. Although there were still more than 70,000 Han troops in the remaining passes of the Northwest Great Wall, Qin Yong did not dare to transfer them again. Although the Northwest Great Wall is built on steep ridges for hundreds of miles, there are still more than ten passes with relatively flat terrain, although the entrance to the pass is narrower than here, and the terrain is much higher, it is still necessary to leave enough troops for garrison to prevent the surprise attack of the Xiongnu iron cavalry.

The fact is not what Qin Yong expected, just yesterday, the rest of the passes were also lit with beacon fires, although they finally resisted the attack of the Huns, but they were still shot and wounded by the Huns. Most of the Han troops were foot soldiers, and only Qin Yong's cavalry guard battalion of less than 5,000 was carried away, and if they were taken away by the Huns, they had to die of exhaustion.

So far, more than 30,000 of the 80,000 Han soldiers who have returned to Guancheng have been killed or wounded. The main reason is that the city is too narrow, and it is difficult for the dense Han soldiers to dodge the boulders falling from the sky. The Hun iron cavalry drove the slaves, climbed up one after another, and even climbed to the top of the city several times, although the Han soldiers who were soon driven to the wall with a long halberd fork, but inevitably caused some chaos. The Xiongnu cavalry under the city took the opportunity to bend their bows and arrows and shot many Han soldiers who came out of the battlements.

The slave army of the Huns naturally suffered heavy losses, and countless corpses were piled up under the wall, Qin Yong made a rough estimate, I am afraid that it was not less than 60,000. The summer is humid and sultry, and the corpse mountain is overgrown with mosquitoes and flies, emitting a foul smell, and if it is not cleaned and buried in time, it is easy to spread the disease.

However, the Huns did not intend to stop attacking the city, and although the corpses of Rushan caused a lot of obstacles to the advance of the siege equipment, they also piled up more than a foot high. Originally, the wall was more than two feet high, but now it is not so unattainable. The Huns began to use the bulky ladder cart instead of the cumbersome ladder car, and used the simple long ladder directly on the city wall, and the slaves, who had long been driven crazy by the saber and the bloody scene, stepped on many rotten corpses, and climbed up with dull eyes, and the pressure on the defenders at the head of the city suddenly increased.

At the suggestion of Cang Su, the right supervisor of Yulin, the commander Qin Yong gritted his teeth and ordered to throw a large amount of fierce fire oil into the city and burn the corpses of the enemy. China has always paid attention to etiquette, and the princes of the pre-Qin period followed certain tacit rules with each other, and not to desecrate the corpses of enemy soldiers is one of them. The allusions of Song Xianggong's refusal to "attack it halfway" and Jin Wengong's "retreat" have been passed down through the ages. It can be said that burning the corpses of the enemy is really a helpless move for the veteran Qin Yong.

And Cangsu, who was born in Yulin, did not have this kind of consciousness at all. When he was in the school, the crown prince Liu Che had mentioned this topic to the generals of Yulin and Huben. His Royal Highness believes that if the enemy does not follow the rules, our army should be even more bold and let go and not care about the eyes of the world.

When His Royal Highness said this, his eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, and he mentioned that in a great country called China, the great army, out of pressure from the Western countries, treated the enemy prisoners well, and would rather their own soldiers starve than give up food for the enemy prisoners of war; However, the filthy people called the Wa Kingdom disemboweled the captured Chinese prisoners of war and threw them into a house full of poisonous gas, and they were tortured to death. His Highness has repeatedly told the enemy to return it tenfold if he does not follow the rules. Even if the heavens are angry and people are resentful, it will be borne by His Highness.

Now the Huns are attacking day and night, not only do not collect the corpse, but use it to trample the siege city, Cang Su couldn't help but think of His Royal Highness's teaching, and immediately found the commander Qin Yong, and repeatedly advised, which forced the old man Qin to agree with the jaw, and ordered to go down and burn the enemy's corpse as soon as possible.

As cans of ignited fire oil were thrown down the city wall, the dull sound of puff sounded one after another, and a large number of red fire lotuses bloomed under the city. Countless brown droplets with flames splattered everywhere, staining the besieging slaves, making a sizzling sound that burned their exposed skin into deep pits. If it gets on clothing, it burns quickly and is extremely difficult to extinguish.

In a moment, the walls were full of slaves who had been ignited by the flames, wailing and rolling uncontrollably, but they also affected their companions. The slaves under the city were already extremely dense, and there was nowhere to avoid them, and the unsuspecting slaves in the rear were still driven by the sabers of the Hun iron horsemen, constantly pushing their companions in front of them, and swarming over.

And as the corpses under the city were scorched, the corpse oil was bubbling outward, and the flames spread more rapidly. At this time, the Hun iron cavalry and slaves in the rear realized the fierceness of the fire and retreated recklessly. There was chaos outside the gate, and the slaves screamed and trampled on each other, colliding, which seriously affected the speed of the retreat.

In summer, the southeast wind blows, but because the northwest is inland, it is not affected by the monsoon, so the wind speed is not high. Together, the billowing smoke mixed with the disgusting stench slowly blew towards the camp of the Huns. The fire under the castle spread rapidly, forming a huge wall of fire that was more than a few feet wide and longitudinal.

Thousands of slaves who had not had time to escape under the walls were surrounded by flames. The mournful wail echoed in the valley, making people hairy all over their bodies, and I am afraid that I will not be able to forget this dark howl from the underworld full of resentment and sorrow in this life. Thankfully, their wails didn't last long, and even if a few weren't burned immediately, the smoke was thick enough for them to suffocate in a matter of breaths.

Seeing this, the Xiongnu Right Xian King, who was watching the battle from a distance, turned pale, and in the face of the slowly drifting smoke, he frowned and ordered: "Order the withdrawal of troops and move the camp to the leeward of the ridge!" ”

The Xiongnu generals were ordered to leave, and the frightened slaves who had fled back were gathered together and camped again.

As soon as the fire began to spread, the Han soldiers quickly evacuated the city to avoid being killed by the smoke. Until the fire became smaller, it was impossible for the Huns to attack the city again. Therefore, Qin Yong only ordered a few soldiers to monitor the enemy situation on the Great Wall lookouts on the ridges on both sides, so as to warn them at any time, and the rest of the soldiers returned to the barracks in the Guancheng, cleaned away the blood stains and smoke that had been stained for several days, and then enjoyed a peaceful meal and fell asleep beautifully.

Since the first battle, Old Man Qin Yong has not eaten a stable meal or slept a single night. For the elderly who are over the age of six, it is obviously extremely exhausting. Now that he can relax a little, the old man Qin still insisted on visiting many wounded soldiers in the barracks, inquired about the injuries carefully, and comforted them a few words, so moved that these bloody and tearless Guanzhong men were stunned with red eyes, but in turn persuaded the old man to take care of his body.

It wasn't until everything was handled well that Old Man Qin returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, sat down in the chairman's seat, and before he had time to take off the armor on his body, he actually lay on the table and fell asleep, and the thunderous snoring was very shocking, which really opened Cangsu's eyes.

Since the burning of the corpse mountain, Cang Su has been following behind Old Man Qin, and he has seen him support his tired body and handle all military affairs in an orderly manner, so he is willing to go back to the tent to rest. Regardless of whether Old Man Qin's visit to the wounded soldiers was a show in the mouth of His Royal Highness the Prince, he was indeed a respectable veteran and a pillar of the Han Dynasty.

The fire outside the city burned for a whole day and a night, until noon the next day, when the fire had only diminished slightly, and it seemed that it would be some time before it was completely extinguished.

However, as the slang goes, on a June day, a baby-faced, changes when you say it. I saw that the sky was originally clear, but in a moment, dark clouds were rolling, and large clouds were layered on top of each other, surging rapidly. The sky was pressed low, as if swallowed up by darkness, except for a glimmer of light at the end of the sky.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split through the clouds and made a large zigzag in the sky. Suddenly, the thunder exploded, and the whole earth shook, and then the wind blew fiercely, and the raindrops the size of beans slanted down, crackling and lapping the earth, converging into a trickle, washing away the filth everywhere. The fire outside the wall was completely extinguished, and the fog was shrouded in a hazy place.

After a while, the wind and rain stopped, the dark clouds quickly dispersed, and the world was seen again. The black clouds in the sky are bordered with white clouds, and the sun shines through the gaps in the clouds to shine on the earth.

The soldiers of the Han army, who had finished resting and stood at the head of the city again, looked at the Shura field washed by the rain outside the city, and their faces turned a little pale. And the old man Qin, who returned to the city tower, faced this situation, after muttering for a long time, turned his head to look at Cangsu, sighed slightly, and was silent.

(Huhu, the third watch, the festival is back.) In the next chapter, high explosives are going to be powerful, and tomorrow is worth looking forward to, brothers, vote, huhu...... ）
