The sky was like a heavy rain, and it splashed the West Vietnamese soldiers under the city, and the West Vietnamese soldiers raised their hands and smelled it, and it turned out to be strong wine.

Before he could recover his senses, another water bladder flew into the sky, and the archers released their arrows again, and another rain of wine spilled, but this time before the rain of wine fell, a feathered arrow lit on fire flew out of the wall and pierced into the rain of wine.

The spilled liquor caught fire and caught fire, and with a muffled roar, the rain of wine in the sky instantly turned into a rain of fire, which was scattered into the crowd in the horror of the West Vietnamese soldiers.

There have been many people who have been poured by the rain of wine before, at this time the fire rain fell, the liquor on the body was suddenly ignited, and the city of Yanyue Pass suddenly became a sea of fire, especially the West Vietnamese soldiers in order to be flexible and run fast, only wore light rattan armor, this thing can only become tough after oil immersion, it is flammable, and the miserable cry is shouted by tens of thousands of people, it is really thrilling.

Zuo Mansha, who was commanding in the distance, scolded, looking at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who were engulfed in fire, the corners of her mouth trembled, and she was furious.

However, there are only so many spirits in Yanyue Pass, and they were brought by Sima Hongyan from the capital. After two launches, it was all sold out.

The air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol and the smell of burnt flesh, which was extremely unpleasant. The soldiers in Ling Yanyue Pass couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, and many people vomited directly.

The fire made the West Vietnamese soldiers angry and frightened, but they reacted quickly and immediately threw sand from the ground on their burning companions in an attempt to extinguish the flames. But the burning of the fire had already made those soldiers go crazy, running around and screaming, and even many soldiers who wanted to save people were bumped into by them and were led to their bodies.

Even if the fire on some people's bodies is extinguished, that person is already charred and black, and he has more breath and less breath.

Ban Jingchong did not give the enemy any respite at all, and the rain of arrows flew down without stopping, and he shot and killed many Western Vietnamese soldiers who came out from behind their shields to save people.

Even though the companions around him were burning, and some people were shot into hedgehogs, the military order was still there. The Western Vietnamese soldiers were still pouring towards the city walls. When there is a fire on the ground, he stirs up sand with his feet to extinguish it, and then goes on.

Even some of the West Vietnamese soldiers had already climbed the city ladder to the top of the wall, but as soon as they appeared, several spears stabbed them, either through the neck, or directly pushed down the ladder and fell to their deaths.

Outside the city gate, the Western Vietnamese soldiers were still hitting the city gate with siege posts, the first batch of soldiers had been burned to death, and many substitutes were shot to death, and even the thick siege pile was full of flames. Even though the city gate was already full of corpses, the siege piles never stopped pounding on the city gate.

Fortunately, Ban Jingchong asked his subordinates to strengthen the city gate, and the Xiyue people hit it for so long, and the city gate has never moved. Except for some charred black that had been burned by the fire, it was unscathed.

Xiahou Shuojie, who was watching the battle from a distance, had a solemn face, exuding a cold air all over his body, and the deputy general behind wanted to remind him several times whether to retreat first, so that the casualties would be even more heavy. However, looking at Xiahou Shuojie's face, several deputy generals didn't dare to speak, so they had to look at Zuo Mansha.

Zuo Mansha was both angry and distressed, these were the elite soldiers of Xiyue, just after half a day's work, more than 10,000 people were lost, but the other party was almost unscathed, looking at the soldiers who were still rushing forward one after another, and the soldiers who were constantly falling, Zuo Mansha also hesitated whether to persuade Xiahou Shuojie to withdraw first.

But she knew that Xiahou Shuojie was an excellent general, so he naturally had his own plans, although the deputy generals kept looking at her, she couldn't help but say nothing.

"This Sima Hongyan really has some ability, it seems that I still underestimate her!" Xiahou Shuojie suddenly came out with such a sentence.

Zuo Mansha didn't hear too clearly, and asked rhetorically, "What did you say?" ”

Xiahou Shuojie said: "For the sake of this battle, she stood up to the capital, and even spared no effort to transport wine from the capital to deal with us. ”

Zuo Mansha said: "How do you know that she brought it?" ”

Xiahou Shuojie shook the horsewhip in his hand and said: "We have already investigated the situation in Guannai before we came, this place is close to the desert, and even the water we drink is not rich, how can there be extra water to make wine?" Naturally, Sima Hongyan brought it by the way when he came. Moreover, these wines are extremely strong when they are caught on fire, so it can be seen that they are not used for soldiers to drink, but are specially used against us. ”

Seeing that Zuo Mansha was silent, Xiahou Shuojie said again: "When I saw her in the Five Nations Competition, I felt that this woman was not simple. Since she can sit in the position of Empress Yanling, it can be seen that she still has some real skills. ”

Zuo Mansha said angrily: "Why do you still praise the enemy? Doesn't it make our army lose its fighting spirit? ”

Xiahou Shuojie said: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can we defeat the enemy, I want you to know that our opponent is not an easy character to deal with." It seems that it is not so easy to break into Yanyue. ”

Zuo Mansha didn't think much of it, but it was not easy to refute it in person, so he had to continue to sulk silently.

After looking at it for a while, seeing that the soldiers in the city still couldn't take advantage, Xiahou Shuojie said to the deputy general behind him: "Collect the troops!" ”

A horn sounded, and the West Vietnamese soldiers immediately stopped their attack and retreated. Ban Jingchong raised his hand, and the archers stopped firing, allowing the retreating West Vietnamese soldiers to withdraw. In the distance, the Xiyue Shuai Banner slowly moved away until it disappeared.

Ban Jingchong waited until the enemy had indeed retreated, and ordered the door to open the door to extinguish the fire and recover the bow and arrows. Spies were also sent to investigate the movements of the Western Vietnamese army.

Looking at the corpses all over the city, as well as the burning man who was about to turn into black charcoal, Sima Hongyan's heart was extremely shocked, and his fiercely beating heart could not be calmed down for a long time. Even Zhong Liying and Xiao Hongying, who were beside her, couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and their eyes were straight.

The truly cruel battle of life and death was staged in front of them, and for a time the three of them appreciated the cruelty of war. They don't know any of those who died, but there is a bitter hatred between them, so much so that they fight for their lives, either you die or I die.

After a while, the Yanling soldiers had already left the city and started to clean up the battlefield, and Sima Hongyan said in a low voice: "Let's go back!" ”

Yan Yueguan won a great victory today, destroying more than 10,000 enemies, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. Seeing Sima Hongyan coming down from the city, they all shouted, "Long live Lord Feng!" ”

But Sima Hongyan was not happy at all, reluctantly smiled and beckoned to everyone, and hurried back to his barracks.

Later, Nan Guying came, and when he entered the door, he found that it was dark in the house, and there was no light. Sima Hongyan sat alone behind the table and was there in a daze.

Nan Guying walked behind Sima Hongyan, stroked her long hair, and said softly, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Sima Hongyan leaned on Nan Guying's body and said softly: "I feel sad, just today, for greed and ambition, tens of thousands of lives were thrown here. I feel sorry for them! ”

"You're soft-hearted?" Nan Guying couldn't help but ask.

"No!" Sima Hongyan replied firmly: "They are enemies, and I have no mercy on them. But as someone who also lives under a sky, I don't think it's worth it for them. Inexplicably, we have become enemies with them, which makes me feel that this world is the biggest joke! One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. I saw it with my own eyes today, and I was a little shocked in my heart. But don't worry, I'll be fine soon. ”

Nan Guying knew that no matter how strong Sima Hongyan was in her heart, she was also a woman, and she was a woman who had never been on the battlefield, so it was normal to be shocked by the cruelty of war for a while. When many people saw so many corpses, they immediately went crazy. Sima Hongyan's performance is already good.

No one can enlighten this, so they can only relieve themselves. Nan Guying didn't say anything, just gently stroked Sima Hongyan's hair to soothe the turmoil in her heart.

Sima Hongyan leaned on Nan Guying, and the two of them sat and stood without saying a word, and it was like this for a long time.

When Sima Hongyan came out of the house the next day, although his eyes were a little bloodshot, his spirit had recovered as before, and his spirit was full of energy, and yesterday's lost soul was gone.

She found Ban Jingchong, called Guo Jixiong and Nan Guying, and the four of them discussed the next strategy in the Chinese military tent, and even sent someone to send breakfast in to eat while talking. It wasn't until the West Vietnamese army attacked again outside the city that Sima Hongyan and the others came out of the Chinese military tent.

This time the Western Vietnamese army came again, and it brought a strange thing. Sima Hongyan looked at the city wall for a long time, but because he was far away, he couldn't see clearly.

But it didn't take long for that strange thing to start coming towards the pass. When he got closer, Sima Hongyan found that it was something like a big box. Sima Hongyan couldn't say what it was, but when he saw the thick and sharp giant tree held on the top, Sima Hongyan immediately guessed that this was a siege weapon.

The thing didn't move very quickly, but the target was obviously towards the city gate, and Sima Hongyan guessed that it should be pushed by the hidden soldiers inside.

Ban Jingchong immediately ordered the archers to set the arrow on fire and shoot it at the strange siege engine, trying to lead it to burn.

Unexpectedly, after thousands of arrows were fired, they were all bounced off. Sima Hongyan saw the mystery and immediately shouted to Ban Jingchong: "It has an iron sheet attached to it, and it is smeared with vegetable oil in advance, arrows can't shoot it, and vegetable oil can't be led." ”

Hearing this, Ban Jingchong stopped the archers, watched the siege vehicle continue to move forward, and didn't know what to use to deal with it for a while.

The Western Vietnamese army stood from a distance and watched, and only sent this siege vehicle to attack, and it seemed that they were still quite confident in this strange thing.

I didn't expect Xiyue to come with such a hand, and at this time, Zhong Liying, who was beside Sima Hongyan, asked: "Eldest sister, this thing looks like it is used for siege, why didn't they use it yesterday?" ”

Sima Hongyan stared at the head of the siege vehicle under the city and replied without replying: "Yesterday was just to test our bottom line and see our strength." Today, they are really here! ”

Zhong Liying said: "Then how are we going to deal with such a behemoth?" If an arrow can't go in, and a fire can't burn, won't we just watch it smash our gates! ”

Sima Hongyan did not answer for the time being, and in the intelligence collected by the two groups of secret agents sent to Xiyue, this thing was never mentioned. It seems that this is the secret weapon hidden by Western Vietnam, just to surprise the opponent when attacking the city. And looking at the thick stump and sharp top, it is estimated that if this is smashed on the city gate, it may not be able to withstand it.
