Ye Bian turned his head suspiciously, and when he saw clearly that the other party was actually an ordinary soldier, he was even more puzzled.

How did this man come up?

"General, it's still too early to use fire oil, so don't be impatient. ”

"Do you have a part in your talk, what is your identity?"

Without opening his mouth, an adjutant general sneered: "Besides, what do you know as an ordinary soldier?"

"I'm sorry, but I seem to know a little bit as an ordinary soldier. ”

With an indifferent smile on his face, the young armor soldier said without being salty: "It's a waste to use fire oil now, so wait a little longer." ”

"Now that we can't stop the Qi army, if we don't use fire oil, the Qi army will completely climb the city, what is the use of using fire oil at that time?"

The lieutenant looked at the young armor soldier with an angry face: "Do you know that this is a command platform, and anyone can come up?"

"Whose soldier are you, get back to your post quickly. ”

The young armor soldier didn't pay attention to the lieutenant general, but walked to Ye Bian's approach, and said, "General Ye, you might as well listen to me, and when the Qi army is closer, we will use fire oil." ”

Ye Bian frowned and glanced at the young armor soldier, and then he really put down the command flag, and turned to the sarcastic lieutenant general and said: "Pass the order, the soldiers defending the city must protect the fire oil, as for when to use it, watch me order the flag to act." ”

"Huh?"

The lieutenant general looked at Ye Bian with a face full of disbelief and said, "General, now that the enemy army has rushed to the city, there is no need for fire oil now, I am afraid that it will not be needed for a while." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, do what I command!"

Seeing that Ye Bian's face was not good, the deputy general didn't dare to say anything, so he intervened stupidly and rushed away.

At this time, the Qi army invested more manpower in the siege of the city, except for the cavalry, almost all of them went to the battlefield, and the cloud ladders set up were connected in a row, and tens of thousands of Qi troops climbed up to the city like crazy like beasts, and the Ye army defending the city also used all the city defense weapons that could be used.

The rolling logs and rocks that flew down from the top of the city were like hailstones, the arrows that flew down were like raindrops, and the Qi army that fell from mid-air was like dumplings.

Such a strong suppression still can't stop the Qi army's rush to kill, not long after, the Qi army has rushed to the city, and the Qi army that just came up didn't even have time to wave their weapons, and they were pierced by several or even dozens of spears on the way, and fell down on their backs.

But they also bought time for their brothers, and then the Qi army that followed frantically pounced on many spears, and while being stabbed into a hornet's nest, they also managed to overwhelm countless defenders, buying time for their companions who followed.

Under such a desperate fighting style of the Qi army, the Ye army gradually couldn't parry, and more and more Qi troops gathered on the city.

When the Ye army is on the defensive, it still has an advantage, and once the enemy attacks the city wall and it becomes a face-to-face confrontation, many of the Ye army's side are local troops, and there is no way to confront the regular army of the Qi army, which has been trained and baptized in war.

Often, two or three Ye troops could not defeat one Qi army, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides on the battlefield were suddenly divided.

This is also why Dong Haoyu had to take a feint attack before, and only began to attack head-on after the local army support from Danyang County arrived.

Because once the old soldiers of the Ye army are exhausted, these recruits will not be of much use at all.

What Dong Haoyu has to do is to consume the veterans of the Ye army as much as possible, and break through the Huling Pass while the new recruits of the Ye army have not yet grown up under the tempering of the war.

The adjutant general standing on the command platform saw the battlefield seriously, he stomped his feet again and again, if the Qi army did not attack the city, their own side still had to fight with the advantage of defending the city, and now the Qi army has been killed, and their own side has no advantage at all, and it is only a matter of time before the defeat is achieved.

He slapped his thigh fiercely, turned back sharply, glared at the young armorer, and said angrily: "Are you trying to kill us......"

Before he finished his words, the young armor soldier, who was standing still and not moving, suddenly intervened with a face: "General, now is the time." ”

Hearing the words of the young armor soldier, Ye Bian raised the command flag and waved it again and again.

After receiving the order of the command banner, the Ye soldiers who were in charge of the fire oil all picked up the oil pot, roared and rushed to the edge of the city wall, and poured the boiling hot fire oil inside.

Some of the Qi army had already rushed to the city wall, but many more were still climbing the ladder and waiting under the city wall, the oil was hot, not to mention being poured on the head, even if the oil droplets stuck to the skin, it could burn a big blister.

It's just that in an instant, the screams and wails on the cloud ladder and under the city wall are one after another, and countless Qi troops are burned by the fire oil and even their faces are peeled off, and the appearance is simply miserable.

This was not the end, after seeing that all the fire oil was spilled, the young armor soldier quickly ran down from the command platform, untied his bow and arrow from behind, dipped some fire oil, and shot towards the ground of the city that had been stained with fire oil.

As the rocket fell, the land contaminated with the oil suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and then a raging sea of fire burned outside Huling Pass, followed by a terrible scream.

Those Qi soldiers who were not affected by the fire oil or were only burned were in the sea of fire, and they were burned all over the body, screaming again and again, and their screams were so fierce that the Ye soldiers on the city wall felt creepy, and the air was filled with a strange smell of meat.

The sky-high heat from the fire even affected many of the Ye soldiers standing on the head of the city, and some of the Ye soldiers had their eyebrows and beards burned.

Such a scene was definitely something Dong Haoyu did not expect, and after he saw the sky-high fire burning outside Huling Pass, he ordered all the Qi troops besieging the city to withdraw immediately.

The sea of fire became more and more intense, and it was difficult for the Qi army that was blocked outside to move forward at all, and when they heard the order to retreat, many Qi troops turned around and retreated to their own camp.

They withdrew, and the Qi troops under the city were burned to ashes, and those Qi troops who had climbed the city walls immediately became lonely.

The situation on the battlefield is changing so rapidly, these Qi troops who rushed to the front thought that they were warriors who knocked on the door of victory, but now they have become dead soldiers who have entered the door of death.

Behind is the sea of fire, in front of the crowd of people of the Ye army, it can be said that the thousands of Qi army is a dead end whether forward or backward, although they are still holding weapons in their hands, although the performance is still fierce, but the eyes have revealed despair, on the other hand, the Ye army, morale is high, the Qi army of thousands of people is divided into several sections, and the group surrounds it.

At this point in the battle, Ye Bian on the command platform let out a long breath in his heart, don't look at his calm appearance, in fact, his heart has already been twisted together.

Just now he heard the words of the young armor soldier, and saw his expression, he somehow believed the other party.

This is almost the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers in the hands of a new soldier, and if there is another chance, he will never do this.

And he was more nervous than the young armor, delaying time and conniving at the Qi army to go to the city was his plan, pouring fire oil to isolate the Qi army was also his plan, killing and wounding the enemy soldiers was secondary, the main purpose was to burn as many Qi army's ladders as possible.

As long as the ladder of the Qi army is insufficient, it will be difficult for the Qi army to play a role even if there is more manpower.

Now it seems that his plan can be regarded as a great success, this fire burned most of the ladders of the Qi army to ashes, and at the same time greatly killed and injured the Qi army, severely dampening the opponent's spirit.

At this time, the young armor soldier came to Ye Bian's side and arched his hand, "Thank you for your trust, General." ”

Hearing this, Ye Bian nodded and asked, "What's your name, is that of the soldiers?"

"General Hui, He Kuan, the Second Corps, the soldiers of the Sixth Formation. ”

"Good. ”

Ye Bian raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the young armorer named He Kuan.

"You've done well today, would you like to come to me as a personal soldier?"

Through He Kuan's performance just now, Ye Bian couldn't help but think highly of this young man, and he also had the intention of cultivation in his heart.

Who knows, He Kuan didn't appreciate it: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but now that the enemy is present, He Kuan still wants to be with his brothers." ”

Hearing this, Ye Bian pursed his lips and said with a deep breath: "It's okay, after the war is over, you come to me, if you make meritorious contributions, I will promote you to be a thousand-commander!"

After the words fell, Ye Bian raised his hand again and slapped He Kuan on the shoulder, and then began to direct the defenders to carry out the final end of the war.

"General Xie. ”

After He Kuan bowed to Ye Bian's back, he turned to the deputy general and bowed slightly, smiling slightly, and said, "I'm sorry general, I frightened the general just now......

What he said was humble, but there was obviously something in his words, ostensibly apologizing, but in fact he was ironizing that this deputy general did not have the slightest general demeanor and could not hold his breath.

Hearing the mockery in his words, the deputy snorted heavily: "It's just luck." ”

Until now, he didn't believe that this He Kuan could have much ability, and after snorting coldly, he kept up with Ye Bian's pace.

At this moment, the war on the head of the city is nearing the end, and only a few scattered Qi troops are still resisting stubbornly, but the Ye army is outnumbered, and it is not easy to encircle and exterminate the remaining remnants of the defeated generals.

Looking at the raging fire still burning outside the city, He Kuan was stunned.

And his old captain jumped out of nowhere, looked at He Kuan with a surprised face, smashed his mouth and said, "I heard, you came up with your idea to set fire to this?"

"yes. ”

"You still have this ability, I really don't see it. ”

Hearing this, He Kuan chuckled, then put away his smile, his face was also full of solemn expression, and said: "The Qi army was feint before, even today's Qi army only took out five points of strength, but just with these five points of strength, it has already made Huling Pass crumble, presumably the next time the Qi army comes to attack the city, it will be a vicious battle." ”

Wu Chang frowned and asked, "Then what should I do, repeat the old trick, and then attack with fire?"

He Kuan shook his head and said, "After this time, the enemy will definitely be on guard, and it will be difficult to achieve results if he attacks with fire." ”

"Now we can only wait to see if the capital will send the central army over, if the central army can't come, then Huling Pass is afraid that it will be more auspicious......"
