Chapter 1243: You Can Go Die
At night, the Han army's offensive also stopped, which gave the Xianbei people some respite. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info traveled all the way, these Xianbei soldiers were already hungry and thirsty, plus a day of fierce fighting, many people were tired and tired, this relaxation, many people were already tired and lying on the pile of dead people, no different from dead dogs.
In the chaos, the food and grass of the Xianbei people have long been lost, but there are corpses all over the ground, both men and horses, and there will be no shortage of food, but in a desperate situation, more people are afraid, today is considered to have survived, but tomorrow will become one of these corpses, no one knows the result, can only spend the night in this panic.
Tuoba Xilu was covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own injuries or splashed with other people's blood, but in short, his face was covered with bloodstains, which was terrifying.
Tuoba Xilu is like a lion trapped in a cage, restless walking back and forth, today's battle, more than half of the Xianbei army trapped in the encirclement was killed and wounded, if it can't break through tonight, then the remaining half of the men and horses will also be killed tomorrow.
So Tuoba Xilu tried to attack at night, trying to tear a hole and escape, but the Han army's defense was so tight, whether it was the valley mouth or the top of the mountain, countless torches were lit, illuminated as if it were day, and the Xianbei people could not approach it at all.
Tuoba Xianbei also organized death squads to try to break through, but before they could climb the hill, they were met with a burst of arrows, so they had to retreat in embarrassment.
After the attempt to break out of the siege was shattered, Tuoba Silu also had nothing to do, and sat there waiting for the dawn to come.
As soon as the day dawned, the rolling logs and stones of the Han army began to be thrown down again as if they were not for money, but the effect did not seem to be very good, because there were too many thrown down yesterday, and they were piled up like mountains at the bottom of the valley, forming an obstacle, and the Xianbei people hid behind these obstacles, but they could also survive.
The rolling wood and stones can't be hit, the bow and arrow and the range are not enough, and if you want to kill the Xianbei people at the bottom of the valley, it seems that the Han army can only charge.
And this kind of hand-to-hand combat is exactly what Tuoba Xilu is looking forward to, and now the Xianbei people are cowering at the bottom of the valley, and there is no hope of breaking through, only looking forward to the Han army attacking and fighting a white-knuckle battle, maybe they will have a chance to escape.
If the Han army does not attack, they will only be exhausted like this, and the Han army will have nothing to do with them in a short time, there is a water source in the ravine, there are corpses, and there is no difficulty in solving the problem of eating and drinking for the time being, but on a hot day, the corpses of these horses will not be kept for long before they will decay, and Tuoba Xilu can only count on the reinforcements sent by his father, otherwise they can only be trapped and die here.
The situation has entered a stalemate stage, and the Han army does not seem to have any intention of rushing to the bottom, after all, if you fight hand-to-hand, there will definitely be casualties, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, you can't draw it, anyway, the Xianbei people can't escape, slowly consume, and they will always be killed.
However, Zhang Le's eyes rolled, but he had an idea, he smiled, and ordered his subordinates to find some oil.
The subordinates quickly found some butter and sheep fat and sesame oil from the room, most of the people in this era eat meat oil, horned animals are extracted from fat, such as cattle and sheep, and the paste extracted from hornless animals, such as pigs, this is still very clear to the ancients, sesame oil is vegetable oil, squeezed from flax, to the Three Kingdoms era of sesame oil application has been very common.
"Not enough, not enough, take more." Zhang Le glanced at it and commanded again.
The subordinates had to bring all the grease and sesame oil in the room, and also brought a lot of pine oil for the torch, Zhang Le smiled: "Okay, enough." ”
The generals didn't know what Zhang Le was intending to do, and Zhang Le didn't explain, so he poured some grease on the rolling logs, and then pushed the rolling logs down the mountain.
Naturally, these rolling logs were mixed with the wood and stones under those trees, but obviously they couldn't hurt the Xianbei people.
At this time, Zhang Le ordered the torch branches to be lit and thrown down the mountain, and the greased logs were the first to burn, and the smoke was billowing and the fire was soaring to the sky.
Tuoba Xilu was shocked, if the Han army attacked with fire, he would definitely die without a place to be buried, and he urgently ordered the Xianbei soldiers to hurry up to put out the fire.
But how could the fire burned by the grease-soaked wood be easily extinguished, and as the fire grew bigger and bigger, the mountains of rolling logs and the corpses of the Xianbei soldiers were also ignited, and the whole valley was plunged into a sea of fire.
Zhang Le laughed and instructed his subordinates: "Add more firewood to them, add a fire, and roast these eight lambs." ”
The Han soldiers laughed and threw the remaining logs on the top of the mountain with all their hands and feet.
The wind flies in the whole valley, the smoke and clouds are swirling, the flames are soaring to the sky, the Xianbei army is crowded in the valley, the area is already narrow, overcrowded, at this time the valley is full of fireworks, almost let them have no place to stay, many Xianbei soldiers are buried in the sea of fire, more people are choked by the smoke, they fall to the ground, and even the corpses are swallowed up by the fire that spreads.
Tuoba Xilu felt that the general situation was gone, and he didn't want to be buried in the fire, so he immediately put up a white flag and climbed to the top of the mountain with some personal soldiers.
The Han army immediately beckoned with bows and arrows, and Tuoba Xilu and others resisted while shouting loudly: "Don't let go of the arrows, we are willing to surrender." ”
Zhang Le saw it on the mountain, smiled coldly, and ordered the Han army to stop shooting. Don't think that the Xianbei people are the kind of spineless cowards, in fact, this is the cunning of the Xianbei people, they are poor and falling, strong and rebellious, they use this kind of tricks, I don't know how many Han people have been deceived.
Zhang Le said to Tuoba Xilu: "Since you are willing to surrender, can you lose this battle convincingly?" ”
"Convincing, convincing, we are convinced." Tuoba Xilu was secretly happy, Zhang Le said this, obviously willing to accept their surrender, as long as he can live, there will always be a chance to escape in the future.
With a mocking smile on his face, Zhang Le smiled at Tuoba Xilu and said, "Since you are convinced, then you can die!" ”
As soon as Zhang Le's voice fell, the Han soldiers around him held Yuanrong crossbows and fired them together, and the black crossbow arrows poured down like a torrential rain, Tuoba Xilu just secretly screamed badly, and wanted to turn around and flee, but no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't escape the Yuanrong crossbow arrows.
Just in an instant, Tuoba Xilu's body was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows, and the entire back was densely filled with arrowheads, and none of the hundreds of personal soldiers he brought escaped from it, and all of them were shot to death by Yuan Rong's crossbow on the slope of the mountain.
