Chapter 13: Retreat again
The enemy's tunnel warfare did not help, and Ubekh was very puzzled, and Yebian was already wounded and could barely command. His right-hand man, Andaru, has also been killed. His son Ye Qiuguan has been demoted to Zhuyue, and Kangju has almost no generals who can handle it.
Since the emperor sent an army of 20,000, there has been no new support, and this gap is a good time to attack the city again!
So Ubekh and his uncle, the right wolf general, discussed the siege plan.
Thanks to the large number of chariots and horses, Ubeh brought a lot of stones and wood and built an "artificial mountain" outside the city to investigate the defense of Kangju City.
As soon as Ye Qiuling found out that they were trying to spy on Kangju, he also erected a wooden frame on the city wall and sewed a curtain between the wooden frames.
Ubekh also ordered the fire bolts to be fired at the curtain to achieve the purpose of burning and shielding.
But Ye Qiuling also organized the guards to keep pouring water on the curtain, and at the same time set up a long hook around the curtain, once the enemy shoots an arrow, he will swing the long hook and shoot down the fire arrows.
Seeing that these methods did not work, Ubeh couldn't help but wonder, who was destroying his methods again and again?
In order to find out about this, Ubekh sent a letter to his allies to ask about the current situation of Kangju, but unfortunately the so-called allies did not know what was going on inside Kangju.
However, the allies assured Ubehe that the current Kangju army was seriously insufficient, and so far, the emperor was still worried about the previous incident of Ye Qiuguan's angry killing of the prison army, and refused to support.
Ubeh looked at the letter and laughed secretly, what kind of emperor is this?
But it's okay, if he is wise and martial and works hard, how can the Dan Room have a chance to enter the Central Plains, instead of laughing at him for being a faint king, it is better to thank him for being a faint king.
Knowing about Kangju's situation, Ubehe still wanted to be cautious, after all, he had underestimated Kangju's guards before, which eventually led to the loss of tens of thousands of people in vain.
This time, Ubekh sent only eight thousand men to attack the city.
Ye Qiuling was upset about the lack of troops in the imperial court but did not express anything, and when he heard that the enemy army had begun to attack the city again, he was even more angry!
She was about to walk up the city wall, but the other generals stopped her according to General Ye's instructions earlier, saying that it was dangerous. But Ye Qiuling is not a delicate lady, and she can't stop her.
The traps outside the city had long been removed, and the enemy had already attacked the walls, and the stones thrown by the trebuchets continued to crash against the walls.
Ye Qiuling watched the soldiers fall one by one, and he was anxious.
At this moment, she suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, and it turned out that just behind her, a soldier was hit by a half-large stone thrown at her, splashing blood all over the ground.
This frightened the people around Ye Qiuling, and once again asked Ye Qiuling to retreat to a safe place.
Ye Qiuling smelled the unpleasant smell of blood, and suddenly thought of a good way!
She suggested to the generals around her that the people of the city should be involved.
And these people are full of doubts: "The duty of our defenders is to defend Kangju and protect the people of Kangju, how can we let the people go into battle!" ”
Ye Qiuling knew that they had misunderstood what they meant, and explained, "I'm not asking the people to defend the city!" It's about them using their power elsewhere. I need half an hour! You must hold out for another half an hour, and not let a single person climb the wall!" ”
General Ye originally asked Ye Qiuling to consult with other generals before he could act, so under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he further explained: "I want to quickly organize the people in the city to pour boiling hot water, the power will not be much worse than a bow and arrow!" ”
"Is it too late for the enemy to attack so quickly?"
"It's too late, just give me half an hour, and let the defenders in the city desperately defend the city wall."
"Good!"
"There's another way."
"Say!"
Ye Qiuling said the second method, and the others almost didn't collapse the seriousness on the battlefield.
It turned out that Ye Qiuling wanted to organize the people to collect horse dung and cow dung and other dung from these people's homes, stir them with boiling water, and splash them under the city wall, the smell alone was enough for them.
A small team of people immediately gathered the recovered feces according to Ye Qiuling's instructions, just used the large urn that had defended the tunnel before, set them up, and boiled water directly under the city wall.
In half an hour, a pot of "soup" was boiled and sent to the city wall.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall were fighting fiercely, there was no effort to block their noses, and the smell was so bad that they almost smoked the people on the city wall until they fainted, before they only faintly smelled the smell, but now the smell is under the nose, and the smell of boiled is really unbearable.
Ye Qiuling hurriedly changed the guards who had covered their mouths and noses, and splashed the dung juice that was constantly sent to the city wall evenly, and suddenly only heard the sound of vomiting under the city wall, and they had to retreat one by one, and the people who were climbing the ladder couldn't bear to fall down.
Those who couldn't dodge were unlucky, covered in thick feces, some of which even ran into their ears, nostrils, and mouths.
The smell was better in the tank, but now it was spilled, and a large area was covered with feces, and the smell spread far away, even Ubehe, who was sitting in the back, could not bear it.
The right wolf guard gave the order to attack again, but the soldiers rushed forward a few steps, fell to their knees again, and vomited so much that they even came out with the overnight meal.
Although the soldiers on the city wall were also disgusted by the smell and wanted to vomit, but seeing the embarrassed appearance of the other party, they couldn't help but let out bursts of laughter, and the enemy army was full of resentment, and the right wolf general had to order the troops to retreat and leave in a huff.
Ye Qiuling saw the enemy retreating, and clapped his hands and laughed happily like a child. Ubekh had already achieved his goal and was about to retreat, when he suddenly saw a thin figure surrounded by the city wall.
Looking at the behavior of the people around him, that thin figure should be the commander of this defense, but he who has specially collected and studied the generals of all levels and cities in the Xi Kingdom, but he has no impression of this person.
Ye Qiuling only cared about laughing happily on the city wall, not noticing that the young commander in the enemy camp looked at her with curious and inquiring eyes, and then left.
The right wolf general Wei was ready for the next general attack, and Ubeh once again wrote to his allies to investigate the situation of the Kangju defenders.
"This time, I have figured out the foundation of Kangju, and even used such a trick, it seems that it will not last long!"
Ubeh smiled and nodded.
However, the right wolf general, who was repulsed twice, still had some doubts: "Can you be sure that their emperor will not give them any more support?" ”
"Even if we promise support now, it's useless, as long as we take Kangju before their reinforcements arrive, what are we afraid of?" Ubehe said, "Besides, even a faint king can't fool us, so our allies may not be too bad, right?" ”
