Chapter 418: Forge the City with Ice

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

......The Mengwu cavalry, which was driving at high speed, rushed headlong towards the so-called "street" of Nazheng County.

It wasn't until they rushed to the neighborhood of the street that they realized that everything they saw was fake.

It's just paintings!

Who would have thought that these cunning Han people would actually put a wall on the inside of the city wall.

They actually painted on the wall, and when they looked at the gap in the wall from a distance, the words on the street came to life, as if they were real.

It is no wonder that these Mugwu people thought that after the city wall was smashed open by trebuchets, they could ride their horses and directly kill the Han people in this Zheng County.

But these barbarian soldiers never imagined that this cunning Han man would actually build another wall between the city walls.

They also painted on this second wall.

Of course, all this in front of him is from Huang Tinghui's handwriting.

Unlike the landscape paintings of this era, Huang Tinghui was also proficient in three-dimensional realistic painting.

Under his teaching, some skilled painters painted on the second wall of Zheng County before the barbarians launched an attack on Zheng County.

That's why Huang Tinghui didn't panic too much about those barbarians smashing the first city wall of Zheng County through trebuchets.

Huang Tinghui even set a trap here, waiting for the Mengwu cavalry and those puppet soldiers who wanted to enter the city to fall into his trap.

At this time, the vanguard cavalry of the Mughal tribe rushed straight into this second wall.

At the same time, thousands of puppet troops were also under the command of the puppet army generals, and swarmed into the broken city wall.

But with so many soldiers, they found themselves in a place that was not some kind of paradise.

It's hell here!

Hell for their lives!

The space here is extremely small, and some people will not have much trouble walking on the wooden planks.

But it was not only the Mengwu cavalry that rushed towards this second wall, but also a large number of puppet troops.

With so many soldiers stepping on the planks that had already set the trap at the same time, how could those planks bear such weight.

Only a "click" was heard, and the plank broke instantly.

Countless soldiers fell into the trap like dumplings.

The puppet army on the inside of the hole in the city wall let out a terrible howl, but the puppet army outside the city did not know what was happening, they desperately avoided the arrows and stones from the city tower, and desperately squeezed into the hole where the city wall appeared.

In the eyes of these soldiers, what awaits them is monstrous wealth.

But he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was not the so-called wealth, but death.

Some of the soldiers who were frantically crowded over suddenly stopped and crashed into each other.

Many soldiers were knocked into the trap and died, and even if they did not fall into the trap, they pierced the chests of the spears, spears and sharp swords that the soldiers behind them did not have time to retract.

Therefore, even if the trap was filled with dead bodies, these disorganized soldiers were still violently harvested by the chaos.

At the same time, under the command of Huang Tinghui, many clay pots filled with lamp oil were smashed down.

When the time was almost right, Huang Tinghui gave an order.

Countless torches were thrown from the towers.

The flames burst into flames, burning some of the soldiers to death.

And the dried straw, dry firewood and other objects that have been prepared in this area are also burning wantonly.

Blazing flames, smoke everywhere.

The soldiers defending the city who fought on the heights were fine, but the puppet army and the Mughal cavalry who rushed in even knew that the situation was wrong in front of them and wanted to retreat.

The smoke near this trap also directly choked them to death.

In just a moment, most of the puppet army and the elite of the Mughal tribe who rushed in were wiped out.

Only those soldiers who didn't have time to rush in were lucky enough to pick up their own lives.

"Poof!!"

Seeing this scene, the Mughal general Duoduo Ge'er, who was watching the battle from afar, only felt an inexplicable anger rush up in his chest, and the blood qi brought up by this anger rampaged through his body.

Finally, the famous Mughal general could not hold back any longer.

He only felt a sweetness in his throat, and then an unstoppable blood rushed towards his throat.

Eventually, blood spat out of the throat of the famous Mughal general.

Splashed all over the ground!

Brother Duoduo, who was full of confidence and took over the siege order from the hands of Kublai Cheng, the Great Khan of the Mughal tribe, initially thought that it was not a matter of taking such a small city of the Han people.

Brother Duoduo never imagined that the situation would develop to this point.

It has been a day since he attacked this Han city, and he finally smashed the walls of this city with trebuchets.

Who would have thought that the walls of this city would be a trap, just waiting for his soldiers and horses to rush in like fools to send them to their deaths.

As a famous general of the Mughal tribe, Duoduo seemed to see the Han general standing on the city tower.

He was looking at himself like a big fool, and he was making fun of his incompetence and uselessness.

What an idiot to make fun of yourself!

Thinking of this, Brother Duoduo, who had always been extremely conceited, was even more angry.

If he hadn't suppressed the anger in his heart in time, he would probably have to spit out a mouthful of old blood again.

"Bastard!"

"Why didn't you find out that it was fake, why didn't you find out that it was fake!"

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!"

At this time, Dodor vented all his anger and all his anger on the lieutenant general beside him.

Those lieutenants also knew about Dodor's temper, and they could only endure his anger.

After all, if you rebel against Brother Duoduo at this time, you may bring disaster to yourself.

Therefore, even if the long whip in Dodor's hand was drawn in their faces, they could only swallow their anger and dare not have any opinions on Dodor.

After slamming at his subordinates for a while, the anger in Brother Duoduo's heart calmed down slightly.

Although the current situation was something he did not want to see, it was only the second day of the siege.

Duoduo had an absolute superiority in the army, and he believed that as long as he continued to attack this Zheng County.

Even if the people in Zheng County were all made of steel, they would be broken by his fierce offensive.

The location of Zheng County was extremely important, and the Great Khan once told Duoduo that if the connection between Zheng County and the grassland could be opened, the Mughal people would come and go freely between the grassland and the Dasheng Kingdom.

No one can stop them.

The reason why the Great Khan of the Mengghul tribe did not take Zheng County before was that he thought that the Mengwu soldiers were fierce and did not need to think about retreating for a while.

And Zheng County and the other two counties are fighting each other, and it is really not worth paying too much price to take this city.

In the eyes of Ku Bicheng, the Great Khan of the Mengwu tribe, even if Zheng County is so difficult to take.

In the case of a siege of five or six days by superior forces, this Zheng County is absolutely unable to resist.

However, Ku Bicheng, the Great Khan of the Mongol tribe, missed one point, that is, the person in command of the soldiers and horses of Zheng County was not the local county commander Zhu Jinxuan, who was not familiar with military strategy.

Instead, he became Huang Tinghui, who read poetry and books and learned the art of war.

In this way, all his calculations will also be in vain.

"Trebuchet, trebuchet!"

"Keep smashing me, smashing me, I want to see how many walls this Han can build in small Zheng County!"

probably knew that if this continued, the army that launched the attack was just going to deliver food to the Han soldiers defending the city.

The famous Mughal general Duoduo Ge'er was also ruthless, and he said to his subordinates.

He didn't believe that the Han people were really able to conjure up walls one after another to keep them out of the city by smashing the city walls day and night.

When the walls of the Han Chinese were destroyed by trebuchets, they could drive straight into and harvest all these hateful Han Chinese.

As long as he could catch the Han man who commanded the battle, he would chop off the head of the Han general with his own hands.

After roaring like this, the Mughal general Duoduo felt all the anger in his chest vent.

Subsequently, he handed over the command of the battlefield to his lieutenant.

I rode back on my horse.

At the same time, after boosting morale a bit.

Those puppet troops, who were already demoralized, under the leadership of the Semu people, the Hua Lai Zim people, and the soldiers and horses of the Mengwu headquarters, launched a new round of attacks on the city walls of Zheng County.

"Kill, kill!" Although they were already terrified of this rock-solid Han city, these attacking barbarian soldiers still tried to embolden themselves with this almost angry voice.

But no matter how loud they screamed, no matter how brave they became.

The towers of the castle always responded to them with countless arrows, and the stones and trees responded to them.

The barbarian soldiers who charged forward and tried to take Zheng County were harvested in pieces by arrows, falling rocks, and sassal wood.

The entire battlefield became a real Asura hell.

At the same time, the trebuchets also let out a roaring sound, and those huge stones broke through the sky and smashed towards the city wall of Zheng County.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Knock !!"

The powerful crash was very rhythmic, smashing the walls into a rhythmic sound.

The red-eyed barbarian soldier roared, "Kill them, stone them!" ”

"Smash the bird wall of this Han people, Lao Tzu will kill it!"

"Damn, the girls in the city are waiting for Lao Tzu's luck!"

"Smash it!"

Unlike the madness of the barbarian soldiers, the morale of the other puppet soldiers was extremely low, like a walking corpse, and they continued to attack the walls of Zheng County like ants.

……

The battle lasted for a long time, from day to night.

It wasn't until the torches were lit that the barbarian soldiers besieging the city stopped.

However, the trebuchet-smashed walls were a little crumbling, which seemed to give the barbarian soldiers hope.

"Hahaha, I'll just say, even if it's iron, after our crazy smashing, they won't be able to withstand it for long!"

"That is, the Han people won't be able to hold up for long with this wall, so they won't build a third wall in it!"

"Even if there is a third wall, we have trebuchets, let the trebuchets smash the third wall of the Han people for us!"

"That is, is it possible that this Han people will not be able to do immortal arts? Can they conjure up strong walls? ”

"The weather of this thief is really fucking cold, obviously it is the territory of the Southern Barbarians, how can it be a little colder than the weather on the grassland?"

Several barbarian generals gathered in front of the fire, although the situation of the two days of battle was not particularly good.

But seeing that the Han people's city walls were crumbling under the incessant smashing of trebuchets, they felt that everything was worth it.

After a night of extremely exhausting fighting, everyone was already extremely tired.

After talking for a while, several people fell asleep.

It wasn't until dawn the next day, in a rush of drumbeats, that the barbarian soldiers and puppet soldiers were rudely pulled up from their sleep.

"Sons, break the city for me!"

"Rush!!"

Just when the barbarian soldiers regrouped and were about to coerce the puppet army to rush towards this Zheng County city again.

They were dumbfounded!

Yesterday, under the frantic attack of trebuchets, the city wall of Zheng County was already a little crumbling.

Its surface was covered with a thick layer of ice!

It turned out that just last night, those Han soldiers kept pouring water from the city on the somewhat broken city walls.

In such extremely cold weather, even a pot of boiling water poured into the air will form ice crystals.

Even if you go to the toilet, icicles will form when you pee.

That is, the soldiers in the process of battle continue to draw their bows and shoot arrows, and their constant actions will not freeze.

So in such a cold weather, the Han soldiers on the city tower kept splashing water on the broken city wall, did it become an ice wall?

Compared to the stone walls, this ice wall is much stronger.

In particular, adding some flocculent materials to the ice wall makes the ice wall not afraid of the large stones thrown over.

"Ice Wall!!"

"These cunning Han people, they actually poured water on the city wall, forming a wall of ice!"

"Cunning Han people, even if the trebuchet smashes all the stones, I'm afraid it won't be able to destroy the ice wall created by this Han people!!"

"Could it be that the attacks of the first two days were all in vain, and even Changshengtian blessed this group of cunning Han people like this?"

In that moment, even the barbarian soldiers who had high morale before were hit to the bottom by the scene in front of them.

With such a thick ice wall, even if the trebuchet was scrapped, it would not be able to destroy the ice wall of the Han people.

The only thing that can destroy this ice wall is the weather, but how much can the weather change at this time?

The barbarians in the grassland are the most superstitious, and at this moment they have to think about the most superstitious side.

Huang Tinghui has carefully observed the changes in the weather, and the temperature will remain in the low range during this time.

As long as the walls are constantly covered with snow and water, the walls will have ice as the hardest armor.

That way, he wouldn't be afraid of trebuchets from the steppe barbarians.

After seeing that the offensive of those steppe barbarians had stalled for a while, the perceptive Huang Tinghui immediately sensed the thoughts in the hearts of ordinary soldiers.

War, it is people who fight!

So after perceiving the psychological changes of the grassland barbarian soldiers, how could Huang Tinghui, who knew the power of psychological warfare, not use psychological warfare to deal with this group of people?

"Pass the order!"

"Let the soldiers shout at me, shout at me, tell them!"

"Zheng County is a city blessed by the Immortal Heaven, and mortals can't defeat Zheng County at all!"

"All the sergeants who try to attack Zheng County will inevitably suffer punishment from the Immortal Heaven!"

After receiving Huang Tinghui's order, the soldiers immediately shouted at the Mughal soldiers.

For a time, the soldiers on the city wall who could speak the Mongolian language and other Han soldiers rolled paper into barrels in Chinese and shouted at the attacking Mongwu soldiers.

Hearing the shouts of the Han soldiers on the city wall, those soldiers who should have been resolutely determined to attack Zheng County, they hesitated, after all, the blow they received under this city was too great.

This iron city made of ice was a nightmare for them.

Their hearts had become weak, and they did not have the courage to attack the city again.

Seeing this scene, the famous Mengwu general Duoduo Ge'er almost spit out a mouthful of old blood again.

He didn't expect that it was only the third day of attacking this city, which had already made his battle-hardened elite soldiers so cowardly.

This made the famous Mughal general Doduo how acceptable.

He is a famous general on the grassland, since he entered the Central Plains with the king of the grassland, Kublai Khan.

As a famous general of the Mughal tribe, Brother Duoduo has always been the point of the sword, invincible!

All the people or cities that stood in their way were easily crushed by them.

But today there was a small city that stood in his way.

Let this famous general of the Mughal tribe fail again and again.

Brother Duoduo only felt that the humiliation he had suffered in his life was less than in these three days.

The Han general who guarded this Han city seemed to press him to the ground in a very playful gesture and rub him over and over again.

I saw Brother Dordor riding forward, "Bring hay and charge me!" ”

"Put the hay under that ice wall!"

"Aren't they Han people going to make walls out of ice?"

"Today, we will light a fire under this wall, and let this fire melt the ice wall of the Han people!"

"Order the trebuchet to throw the haystack with fire towards the Han city wall!"

"If you don't break this city, you will not give up!!"

Speaking of excitement, Dodor pointed the long knife in his hand to the sky.

He yelled at his soldiers.

At this time, this city of the Han people has become a nightmare and a knot in his heart.

If he couldn't take this city, Dodder would only feel that his title as a Mughal warrior was more like a disgrace.
