The head of the city had become tattered, rubble, bloodstained, the banners had already fallen in pieces, black smoke was wafting, and the arrows and stones for defending the city had been almost exhausted, and finally held out until dark
The sky was gradually over, and the morale of the Hun Ping Pong attack had already been exhausted, and the angry Tu Yu Bao killed several people in a row, so he urged the Shi Ping to continue to attack hard
It wasn't until night fell that Tu Yu Bao was persuaded by Jia Qing's three of us to let Ping Ma rest for an hour, recuperate, and prepare to attack the city overnight, the Shu army was only 3,000 people, and those people must not be given any respite
Even with the help of bows and crossbows, the defenders still lost more than 300 people, and there were more than 200 wounded, but the Huns have not yet climbed the city wall, and the casualties are nearly 10,000
But for Liu Yin, he still feels sorry for himself, this is the elite table tennis assigned to him by Liu Changsheng, and each of them is an elite above the centurion
Outside the city, the bones were like mountains and blood, it was simply a killing battlefield, and the stench of the corpses being burned by the fire wafted out of the wind and was disgusting
The ladder that was erected on the city wall crackled and burned, and the rolling smoke blocked the view of the two sides in the night, and the repeated attacks were ineffective, and the offensive of the Xiongnu Ping gradually weakened
In the inner city, Ju'an, who was running around with a thousand reserves, finally completed the task and came to the city to report to Liu Yin.
"General, everything has been prepared, I have led people to the houses of people in the city, hiding sulfur, flames, nitrate and other fire-causing things, this place is dilapidated, most of the people's roofs are covered with thatch, they have long been dried up, and they will burn when they meet the fire."
"Good!" Liu Yin nodded slightly, and glanced at the sluggish Hun army outside the city, "The Huns will die down for the time being, and they will definitely not give up, I am afraid that they will attack again overnight, and when it gets dark, you will first take these servants to withdraw from the west gate, and Pushui will ambush"
Ju'an - stunned, frowned, and said, "Pushui is in the west of the city, and the Xiongnu are retreating, also to the south, why do you go to the west to ambush?"
Liu Yin said, "To the south is the stone gate, the Huns were ambushed by me a few days ago, and they must be afraid and dare not go, to the east is the army of the king of Yan, and those people can only retreat to the west."
Ju'an suddenly realized, said goodbye, and said, "The general thinks about Zhou, and his subordinates are not as good"
Liu Yin smiled and said, "Where the stone gate is, I have my own arrangement, you have to make more cloth bags, go to Pushui to fill in the sand, curb the water of Pushui, and wait for the lower head people to shout horses, then order people to release water to flood it, and then come to the water to respond."
"Yes!" Ju An no longer doubted, and when he received the order to go to prepare for a short time, Li Xin also brought people to the city with many well-tied straw men, and Liu Yin took advantage of the cover of the banner to pretend to be a soldier to exchange defenses, and the straw men and wooden stakes were placed neatly, and the smoke and night cover made it impossible to see the truth or falsehood

426 Burning the city
The night breeze is getting tighter, it is the moon at this time, the moon has not risen, the sky is as dark as ink, the fire in the Hun camp is shining, is burying the pot to make rice, and there is no camp, it seems that it is really going to be attacked
Liu Yin instructed Meng Yan, "General Meng took five hundred troops with bows and crossbows to the Puchuan ferry to ambush, the water is the slowest here, Tu Yu Bao Ping Ma is flooded, and he will flee from here, so he can take advantage of the situation to kill" Meng Yan listened to the order and also went to prepare, Liu Yin said to Li Xin, "Withdraw out of the city later, you take a thousand people back to the top of the mountain in the north of the city, and wait until the third watch, the Huns have arrived in the city, and they will shoot rockets and torches into the city on the mountain, and when the fire in the city is raging, see the defeated army escape from the city, from
After the tail chase, and then go to Pushui to rendezvous"
Several people quietly went out of the city, and Liu Yin continued to patrol the city wall with the only remaining five hundred fine ping pong with torches, thinking that he was suspicious, and thought about the details again, and then he was relieved
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, it is too little table tennis power to be arranged, if there is a double table tennis force, he is confident that he will destroy the enemy army, and now he can only try his best to kill
- After an hour, the drums outside the city sounded again, the Huns regrouped, and the new wave siege began, and Tu Yu Bao wanted to break through Changshou, Liu Yin was also in the middle of it, sneering in his heart, this time you will get what you want
After the commander Ping Pong used up the remaining dozen crossbow arrows of the crossbow and suppressed the sharp qi of the enemy army, he set it on fire and took advantage of the gap in the Hun formation to quietly retreat with Ping Pong, although unfortunately he could not take it away, but he could not leave it for the enemy army to study and use
In the attack of the new round of the catapult of the Xiongnu Ping Pong, Qu Shuai, who was in charge of the command, finally found that something was wrong in the city, and those Shi Ping did not understand how to dodge at all, and were hit by a boulder, and did not react, and immediately reported to Tu Yu Bao
Tu Bao and Jia Qing came to the city and carefully observed, but saw only a few sparse torches flickering in the dark night, and there was no patrol soldier Ping
"It seems that the Shu army understands that Changshou can't hold it, and has already withdrawn from Changshou at night" Jia Qing saw the movement in the city, sighed, and didn't understand whether to be happy or disappointed
"Oh no! When Tu Yubao heard this, he was so angry that he scolded, "These bastards know how to escape, and immediately pursue them, if they don't cut them with a thousand knives, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart."
Jia Qing hurriedly persuaded and said, "The king can't, the direction is difficult to distinguish in the dark night, although Liu Yin is unknown, but he is very good at using table tennis, if there is an ambush on the way to retreat, and the power of ping pong is lost in vain, our goal is still to leave the stone, and I hope that the king will focus on the overall situation."
"Hmph," Tu Bao snorted heavily, his face was gloomy, but in the past few days he had been fighting with the Shu army, and he also understood that Liu Yin was by no means easy to match, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the herald army will enter the city to rest, and Ming said-Kill Ben Lishi early, this gang of fleeing Shu troops, this king will not let go!"
Jia Qing also nodded, and said, "Kill it, it's time, just enter the city to rest."
The other generals all grew out of breath when they heard this, and even Jayo couldn't support it a little, although he didn't charge into the formation, but it was not an easy thing to organize the soldiers to collect stones, and more than a dozen catapults were worn out by the successive attacks
Jayo first led Ping Pong into the city to search, and sure enough, there were no people in the city, and even the capital that should be used was withdrawn, and even the pots and stoves were destroyed, leaving only an empty city
After tossing for a full hour, it was finally cleaned up, and the Hun Ping Pong entered the city in a mighty way.
After the tense battle, the troops relaxed, everyone was extremely tired, and even the patrolling soldiers were not dispatched, and Tu Yubao occupied the county government and rested and slept
At less than three o'clock that night, the night wind gradually tightened, blowing the horn flags on the head of the city, and the stars disappeared one by one, and the wind whistled from the Tongtian Mountain, like a ghost crying wolf
The Huns fought in a ping-pong fight, saying that they were already tired, and they all fell asleep, and Tu Bao was running around, and he was injured, and he didn't have time to eat dinner and fell asleep
In the middle of the night, he suddenly entered the yaya in a hurry, knocked on the door and made noise, Tu Yubao listened in a daze for a long time, only to know that it was the fire in the city, and scolded angrily, saying, "Which bastard was careless in cooking, and left the fire missing, and he will be punished again tomorrow"
After that, he turned over and slept again, and at the end of his sleep, several more soldiers came to report, and said that there were torches and arrows falling on the mountain, and there were fires in the east and south gates of the city
Tu Bao was frightened, sleepless, understood the timing of the plan, hurriedly got up and grabbed the clothes and ran out, seeing Jia Qing was also in a hurry, the two of them got on the horse and went out of the yamen, only to see the fire everywhere in Manxian County, up and down red
Tu Bao was angry and said, "The Shu army is so deceitful, it's really infuriating, the fire is too fierce, let's get out of the city!"
"The West Gate is still on fire, retreat from here" Jia Qing looked at the Shiping Officers running in Mancheng and sighed secretly
No one could have imagined that Liu Yinjing would be so resolute and set the entire county town on fire, and many soldiers were burned in the fire, and some were even burned to death in their sleep
The Huns who were on fire fled in all directions, and even led the flames everywhere, and there were rockets and torches on the top of the mountain falling like meteors, and the night wind was right, which was not saved by manpower
In the midst of the fire, the soldiers trampled on each other, and the dead were countless, and they could not give the order to gather the men and horses
