Chapter 121: Zero casualties
Seeing Hu Bugui's solemn reminder, Chen Sheng nodded yes, nodded lightly at Hu Bugui, his eyes suddenly flashed with essence, and said: "The enemy's first round of attack is about to start, pour fierce fire oil on the ground!" ”
Fierce fire oil, that is, the oil of later generations. It is produced in the area of Longxi in Qindi, which is an important strategic material for the Qin army, and it can be used in the past to conquer cities and conquer cities. It is one of the necessary weapons for the Qin army to kill people and set fires. Since it has not been purified, it is not easy to volatilize, and when it burns, the taste is also very unpleasant, and it has a very thick black smoke. But once it's ignited, it's not easy to extinguish it.
After hearing Chen Sheng's plan, he fully supported Chen Sheng, and allocated all the stored oil and sulfur used to drive away snakes and insects to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng divided them into pieces, put them into bamboo tubes, scattered them to the five hundred soldiers he brought, and then used them intensively, plus the temporarily cut pine resin, a fire burned the valley extremely vigorously, and those Minyue soldiers who were not killed and injured by the stone rolling wood, under the burning of this fire, the casualties were extremely heavy.
The last bit of oil had been poured on the ground. There was a lot of hay mixed up, and once lit, it was another furnace of purgatory. However, Chen Sheng also knew that the Minyue soldiers had already suffered a big loss in this regard, so naturally they would not be fooled in this regard again. Chen Sheng's purpose in setting this fire was just to slow down the time.
Judging from the calculation of time, the Qin army should have broken through the Wuyi Pass at this time, and it may take some time to open the gate of the Wuyi Pass, in addition, Meng Yi's reinforcements should arrive in one to two hours.
As long as it persists until then, then the Qin army will have laid a winning situation, and if the troops are sufficient, it is unknown that the Minyue king will be captured in one fell swoop. Thinking of Han Dali's strange soldiers ambushed outside the pass, Chen Sheng felt that this matter was promising.
The pass of Yingchou Village is in the shape of "concave", the two sides of the protrusion are connected to the mountain cliff, and can not climb up at all, and after being connected with the mountain wall, the existence of an urn city is formed, once it enters it, it will suffer from the attack from three sides.
I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Dongou Kingdom is not very strong, but the ability to build fortifications is remarkable. In addition, the canyon is long and narrow, and the siege formation cannot be arranged, no matter who attacks this pass, it will be a headache. Chen Sheng believes that the degree of danger of this pass is far from being comparable to that of Wuyi Pass. The only difference is that the walls of Wuyi Pass are more than twice as tall as those here. Occupying such a geographical advantage, Chen Sheng believes that he will not have much problem holding on for an hour or two.
Hook Eagle really came. Three thousand soldiers cautiously, holding bows, arrows and shields, stepped on the slimy flesh and blood blurred dirt under their feet, and walked towards Wuyi Pass. They are only the vanguard of a tentative attack, in other words, the vanguard sent to test the enemy's strength, to send the troops to death. These soldiers are not the most elite part of the Minyue soldiers, so they will not be too distressed if they are lost.
Seeing the three thousand soldiers enter the valley, Li Zuoche next to him shook his head again and again. This time, the death of these soldiers is not far off. He sighed. Usually, his words have a certain weight in front of Su Shao, but at this time, Su Shao, who has been blinded by hatred, can't listen to this unpleasant advice. Li Zuoche knew very well that the Dongou people would not have so much fierce fire oil and sulfur in their hands, that is to say, the one who fought with them should be the main force of the Qin army, so from this association, that Zhang Liang should be the spy of the Qin army, and the king of Dongou is also a traitor who is in cahoots with the Qin army.
Li Li Zuoche's analysis has a certain amount of truth, but he doesn't know that the reason why the Qin army ambushed them here was because their intelligence was exposed, and the adventurous Chen Shengli used this gap to successfully steal the day, and even the defenders of the Dongou Army were deceived by him to count the money.
After Gou Hu smelled the smell of fierce fire oil, he immediately stopped his action. shouted: "Bring in the dirt and pave the way!" "As long as you put mud on the place sprinkled with fierce fire oil, the fire will never burn.
Seeing the Minyue soldiers who slowed down in the distance of the valley, Chen Shengwei touched the distance, gritted his teeth, and said, "Turn on the mechanism!" ”
At the sound of the order, Hu Bugui showed a hideous smile on his face, picked up the knife himself, ran to the side, and cut a few thick ropes.
"Gege...... The sound of squeaking ......" sounded above the cliff walls.
If they passed by during the day, the Minyue warriors would definitely look up and find that something was wrong, because the vines above the mountain wall had basically withered and withered. The reason for the withering is naturally the lack of water, but the reason for the lack of water is that these vines do not belong here, they are cut from somewhere else, and they are used to hide the rows of bamboo frames that are already full of spikes. The power of the bamboo frame, Gou Ying's brother Gou Hu has already tried, and the next person who wants to try this person who fell from a high altitude is Gou Hu's younger brother Gou Ying, and the death squad he led.
The number of these bamboo frames is not large, only dozens of rows, because of the lack of time and the difficulty of erection, only about 100 meters in length are installed.
However, within the coverage of 100 meters, the fall of this bamboo frame will not die or be crippled.
Hearing the screams, although Chen Sheng felt extremely harsh, he didn't feel as miserable as before. If you can see the unacceptable, you will become numb, and then you will learn to accept it. In this age of iron and blood, it is impossible for him to stay out of it cleanly. The only hope is that, after the killing, peace and civilized progress can be brought to this place.
Attacked again, Gou Ying was furious, roared, waved his hand, and attacked in the direction of the walled city, but after running a distance, he suddenly remembered that this section of the road was sprinkled with fierce fire oil! He hurriedly retreated, Chen Sheng waved his hand, and the two archers immediately ignited the cloth stained with pine resin on the arrows and shot out.
The "poof......" fire suddenly ignited, almost burning the Gou Ying who stepped into it into a roast pig. But although he escaped fast enough, the back of his ass was burned by the fierce fire and coliced.
Gou Ying, who suffered a big loss, trembled with anger, but was cut off by the flames, but there was nothing to be done, so he had to count the casualties and send someone out to report the tragic battle situation in the canyon to the king.
Knowing that the army was ambushed again, Su Shao's face was gloomy again, but this time the number of dead and wounded was only more than 200, far below the bottom line of his heart, so it was not unacceptable. There is only one data that he does not know, from the beginning of the ambush to the present, the number of enemy casualties is zero.
