South City Gate. Due to the death of Liu Yingda, the Meixi County captain was vacant. Although a military lord was promoted to lead the Meixi Department, not to mention Zhu Biao, but also Li Yirong, Li Maozhong, Xie Qiang and even the Meixi County Magistrate Su
Everyone felt uneasy.
Zhu Biao asked Chen Mengren to help him, and Meng Rui, who ranked first in the martial arts right department, was of course appointed by Chen Mengren to follow him to the south wall.
The sun has risen, and Meng Rui's face is still quite embarrassed. This is not because of the "wafting" stench on top of the city. In the boiling cauldron, what is boiling is yellow, black and other human and animal excrement juice.
.
This thing has always been a powerful weapon for defending the city. It is poisonous and disgusting. When it is boiling and boiling, it is euphemistically called 'golden juice'. When poured on a person's body, the hot skin will burst open and the flesh will burst, and most of the time it will be filthy to the bone, and the wound will rot and destroy the body.
They couldn't be removed. The injured lay on the bed, wailing and crying, and had to endure it for several days before slowly dying. Struggling in pain and waiting for death was really far worse than being directly stabbed.
On the top of the "scented" city, many people were frowning and covering their mouths and noses. But Meng Rui's unhappy expression was obviously different from these people. Others were "frowning" on the surface, but he
It's the gloom emanating from the bones.
Who really cares about the 'scent' under the nostrils and the people on the city? Compared with life and the city, this discomfort is not worth mentioning. 'Frowning and covering nose' is more about making fun of each other and relaxing.
Nervous.
But as for Meng Rui, when he thought of the two red-robed and seven yellow-robed corpses carried out from the county governor's mansion, his heart was completely suppressed by the mountain. It was really unexpected that Zhu Biao's strength was so high that he
It's beyond comparison.
He had fought against the yellow-robed mage, although it was just a few encounters, but if it hadn't been for luck, he would not be standing at the top of the city but lying in the ward.
The red-robed mage is even better than the yellow-robed mage. Zhu Biao alone can kill so many people. Looking at those corpses, they are all stabbed in the throat. What kind of realm must this be?
The first time she met Zhu Biao was still vivid in her mind. Although Meng Rui felt that Zhu Biao was stronger than herself at the first meeting, she never expected that the gap would be so huge and exaggerated. (..)
"It seems that riding a horse and spear suppressed his force!" The gap between the two sides in terms of meritorious positions is incomparable, and the difference in personal force is also the same. Meng Rui's strong and stubborn will will be touched.
Shattered.
When I vowed to catch up with the goal, I once again found that the goal was so far out of reach, so tall and incomparable, and that I was all-round weak and insignificant. For a person with sufficient self-confidence, desire to win, and ambition,
Say, there has never been such a huge blow.
It’s amazing that Meng Rui can show a smile now!
Once people get into trouble or become stubborn, normal reason will be far away from them. Blind, turning a blind eye, and insisting on going their own way are the words that fit them.
However, Meng Rui still has some skills in the city. After all, he grew up in that kind of environment since he was a child. The skill of face saving, or "talking to people and talking to ghosts" is still very mature. In Zhu
After the initial arrogance in front of Biao, he behaved submissively and showed no irritation or ulterior motives at all.
"Kill--"
After the Hao Bridge was built, the ladders came up one after another. A large number of barbarian soldiers howled like wolves——
"Swish swish——"
In response, the Han army responded with sharp arrows and blood.
Arrows can't stop the progress of the ladder truck, but dung juice is something that even the bravest warriors fear and feel chilled by. Add to that kerosene, scalding kerosene!
After conquering the entire Huaiyuan County, a large number of horses and sheep were captured by Zhu Biao.
What's the use of these things except killing them to eat? Given the situation of the Huaiyuan Han army, even if they want to keep it, they don't have the ability. So from the beginning to the present, every soldier, soldier and civilian eats a mouthful of oil, and the king is the one who eats well.
The Imperial Guards in the capital are no match.
A large amount of mutton fat was subsequently accumulated and stored, and torches were used for lighting at night, and now kerosene was used for burning.
A small rocket couldn't burn down Noda's ladder truck for a while, but after pouring mutton fat on it, even if it was completely wrapped in rawhide, it still burned.
After Hu Qi's first wave of offensive retreated, under the four walls of Huaiyuan, unquenched fires were swaying in the wind, and the hot dung juice poured down from above exuded a strong stench on the ground.
In the Wengcheng in the east of the city, there were about a hundred corpses lying on the ground. The corpses were so miserable that they were dripping with blood, and the ladders had been poured with hot oil and were burning...
First break the urn city, and then the city wall. This is a problem that Hu Qi must encounter every time he attacks the city. Therefore, of the five wide gaps they built in front of the moat at the east city gate, three of them are facing each other directly, and the left and right are facing the urn city diagonally.
. The same is true for the rest of the west gate, north gate and south gate.
In addition to the defenders on the city walls and battlements, the Han army also used all means to snipe the Hu soldiers' attack on the city. The archers and crossbowmen hiding in the battlements just aimed and fired. Unless there was someone outside,
A true marksman who can pierce the enemy with a hundred steps, otherwise there is nothing he can do to them. Moreover, the barbarians do not have heavy siege equipment such as catapults and siege towers, so they are completely unable to destroy the obstructive horse face and the battlements on it. At this point,
They are too far behind in history, and they are too blindly confident in their own nation's methods.
However, the first wave of attacks were mostly exploratory feints by the Hu people. They wanted to test the Han army's city defense methods. After all, they had ten times the number of troops in the city and a large number of Tianshen Sect masters as helpers. This was impossible.
Comparative advantages.
"Kill..." Another attack began.
For one morning, the four city walls were like four relatively independent battlefields. There was no so-called unified planning and unified offensive. Except for the first wave of attacks, which were launched from all sides, the rest of the attacks were fought individually.
After testing the methods of the Han army, the corners of Maha's hair curled up into a sinister smile outside the east city gate. There was nothing surprising, it was just the same!
The real siege battle began immediately. It was no longer just attacking Wengcheng from the front, but there were also large groups of Hu soldiers pushing ladder trucks from both sides.
The smoke-filled battlefield immediately became filled with people, and the sound of killing became deafening.
The Hu Bing who actually attacked was far more resilient and tough than when he tried to attack before. And the ladder truck at this time was also stronger and more heat-resistant than its previous counterparts.
They really don’t take leather seriously, and the tall ladder trucks in the attack are actually wrapped with a layer of rawhide from top to bottom. Although it cannot be cowhide, whether it is sheepskin or horse, soaked
Splashing it with water and wrapping it on it can greatly improve the fire resistance of the ladder.
The dung juice was quickly exhausted, and the Hu soldiers who rushed up with round shields became even more brave. At noon, in the east city where Zhu Biao was, Hu soldiers swarmed for the first time on Wengcheng.
"Soldiers, kill me -" Li Maozhong shouted loudly.
Fighting requires courage. The Han army will not immediately collapse the battle situation just because the barbarians swarm the city. Although the main body of the officers and soldiers guarding the city are infantry from the three counties. Don't look down on them just because they are county soldiers.
To persist in the war of resistance under such difficult and difficult conditions, the hearts of every soldier and civilian in the three counties are stronger and more determined than diamonds.
