Fragrant, really fragrant. Pure green pork and mutton oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, etc. are really tempting. Dozens of oil pans are boiling together, and the thick aroma permeates the entire Taurus Pass.
Above.
The wind is southerly today.
The golden bull closed, and the soldiers murmured. What's going on? It's so fragrant? Did the Song army cook something delicious in front of the battle?
But some veterans don't think so, and the military commander Liu Qichang doesn't think so. He has been in the army for many years and has seen some scenes under Cangsong Pass. When he saw the twenty tall towers towering in the Song army's formation outside the pass,
When he was driving a car, his face could not help but turn pale.
When the aroma came, Liu Qichang's mind that had just recovered was even more blank. He let out a groan-like whimper and tremblingly greeted his deputy, a guy who also saw something was wrong and had a pale face.
He ran to the general's mansion in the pass. He wanted to report the news to Cheng Yunda immediately. The Song army was too ruthless. This is not the way to fight!
Behind the gun, shield and gun forest, Chen An laughed and put away the thing in his hand, which was a dark metal barrel. He shouted to Zhang He with the same smile on his side: "That kid is quite interesting. The change in his face is really surprising."
Makes people laugh.”
Zhang He also had a metal tube like that in his hand. He was clasping it on his right eye and looking at the key. After hearing Chen An's words, he immediately put it down, "Isn't that right? But he still knows the goods."
No matter how strong you are at the small Golden Bull Pass, no one can hold it even if it burns to a white ground.
"Remove all the rolling logs and boiling oil on the city wall, prepare more shields, high oars and sand." After hearing Liu Qichang's report, Cheng Yunda's expression immediately changed, and a series of orders were blurted out.
Liu Qichang lowered his head and stepped back, "Yes, I'll do the humble job now."
Cheng Yunda also couldn't sit still in the general's mansion. He followed Liu Qichang and drove all the way. In a short time, he arrived at Nanguan. He smelled a strong aroma of oil before he climbed onto the city wall. When he stepped onto the city wall, he saw twenty tall thunderbolt chariots.
The formations were lined up three hundred steps away from the pass. "Take down the rolling logs and boiling oil. Go and prepare the sand. The shield bearers are in position quickly... high oars, high oars..."
There are also more than a dozen pots of boiling oil at the gate of Taurus. These are prepared to deal with big things, such as rushing and crashing cars. Although it can emit bursts of oil fragrance, it is definitely not as good as the current situation. This can only mean that,
The aroma of oil wafts from the Song Army's formation, and coupled with the thunderbolt chariot, any fool will know what the opponent is going to do.
Some of the excited veterans all turned pale. Kerosene was much more troublesome than arrows. The biggest disadvantage was that it couldn't be extinguished even if it touched the body with water.
"Zhu Shuai, they seem to have come to their senses. Should we start now?" Chen Lian surrendered and entered Zhu Biao's barracks to be a leader. He saw that the Prince's Army at Jinniu Pass was busy, and it didn't take much time.
I added a lot of shield hands, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Why take action? Wouldn't it be more deterrent to wait until they have prepared everything before taking action?"
Smiling, Zhu Biao looked at the high oar being slowly dragged up the city wall with a bit of disdain. Even if this thing could withstand arrows, it was still made of wood, and it couldn't stop the fire.
Even Zhu Biao himself has not come up with a solution to this method until now.
Apart from the inconvenience of the huge demand for 'materials', that is, the huge demand for oil, the only other disadvantage is that it 'hurts Tianhe'.
As long as you are fully prepared, you are absolutely sure to conquer!
Time passed slowly and turned to Chen hour. The quiet battlefield became lively for a moment. Almost at the same time, twenty large earthen jars filled with hot oil and with open flames burning at the seals were thrown onto the ground by the Thunderbolt Car.
On the city wall.
Like twenty fireworks blooming at the same time, the earthen pot burst instantly, hot oil splashed in all directions, the Taurus closed the fire and ignited.
The seals of these earthen jars are covered with a thick layer of linen or coarse cloth, and the sealed ropes are tied tightly, which not only prevents the kerosene from spilling when flying in the air, but also ensures that the oil-soaked oil is ignited by an open flame.
The rope and thick cloth will not fall off, ensuring that the can of kerosene will burn absolutely.
After twenty shots, another twenty shots were fired, round after round, until the tense rhythm slowed down after ten rounds.
"Half a stick of incense, one round, stop after half an hour." Looking at the prince's army on the top of the city, holding their heads and running around, Zhu Biao was neither happy nor unbearable. This is war.
If you want to survive, you have to completely eliminate your opponent.
Now that I am assisting the King of Song, I can only have no sympathy for the stumbling block of Jinniuguan, and the same goes for the prince army who has passed the pass.
Besides, it would have been magnanimous of him not to kill him at the first moment. Because Zhu Biao still thought about the prince's army in Guan Nei who had the slightest idea of voluntary surrender. After all, they were facing a desperate situation, weren't they?
"General, this is the surrender letter sent in by the Song Army." Liu Qichang thought of the shouts and shouts of the Song Army outside the city and wanted to say it. However, seeing the furious look on Cheng Yunda's face, his liver and gallbladder trembled involuntarily, and he could no longer say it.
Exported.
"...The deadline is noon to accept the surrender, otherwise all the jade and stone will be burned, and the whole city will be burned to the ground..." Huh, Cheng Yunda snorted angrily and slapped his palm on the table, "You traitor, you go too far to bully others."
"General, general, calm down." The military doctor who was waiting on the side whispered hurriedly. Cheng Yunda was directing the dispatch at Nanguan just now. A can of kerosene fell from the sky and hit him two feet away. Although he hurriedly stepped away, his left leg and lower abdomen
There was still a big splash, and several of the surrounding personal guards were even worse.
Five people were seriously injured and two died.
It's almost summer, and all the armor I wear is thin, and if I get burned by the hot oil, I'll feel it all over my body.
"General...General..." Liu Qichang stammered, not knowing whether he was frightened or sweating because of the heat, "This letter was scattered all over the country by the Song Army. Most of the soldiers and civilians already know it."
It's over." Song Jun's shouting was also very loud, no less powerful than his letter.
"General, general, it's not good, it's not good." Just at this moment, another captain, Cheng Yunda's personal captain, ran past the door. "General, the people in the pass have become chaotic and are asking for release.
They came out of Beiguan and said... said that there is a high chance that you will not surrender, and Jinniu Pass will be a fire soon, and they cannot wait to die in the pass."
Cheng Yunda didn't speak, and after a twitch on his face, there wasn't even any expression fluctuation. But this general has been following Cheng Yunda for more than ten years. Seeing him like this, how could he not know that this was a sign of Cheng Yunda's extreme anger?
Thinking of the situation outside the door, he had no choice but to continue speaking, "The gentry from Guanli have gathered outside and want to ask the general to let them go."
"No." The hall was silent for a while, as quiet as a dead person. The military doctor who was dressing Cheng Yunda's wounds had his back soaked with sweat. He knelt at Cheng Yunda's feet but did not dare to move at this moment.
, even though he was still holding the half-wrapped gauze on Cheng Yunda's calf in one hand.
"Why do they want me to let them go? They want to persuade me to surrender, or to leave Jinniu Pass aside so that they can offer it to Song Ni. Tell them that this time, my general will spare them for the sake of old friendship.
If you dare to disturb the people's sentiments again, I, the general, will show no mercy."
"Yes...yes, I'm going to leave now." The general just stood up and had not left the hall. The captain who replaced Liu Qichang had already rushed in and staggered when he bumped into the general. In the past, the captain and the general
When generals meet, they are bound to say a lot of good things, but now they don't even look at it. They just rush to Cheng Yunda's side with a sharp arrow wrapped in a letter, "The general is in trouble, the Song army is shooting again."
After entering the letter, he was still shouting loudly outside the city..."
"What are you shouting?" Cheng Yunda realized that he was filled with anger. He stood up and looked out of the hall angrily like fire. It seemed that his eyes could see directly through the space the proud smiling face of Zhu Biao outside the pass.
"Mercy... so kind." Looking at the letter wrapped on the arrow again, Cheng Yunda's face suddenly turned as red as fire, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred. He held the letter tightly with both fists and locked his teeth so hard that the corners of his mouth oozed.
Blood is coming. "The traitor has a vicious plan."
Suddenly, he pulled hard with both hands and heard a "stab" sound, and the white cloth (letter) was torn into two pieces, "What is the situation in Beiguan? Come and report as soon as possible after finding out?"
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the general re-entered tremblingly, "General, one or two thousand people have gathered at the north gate, almost all the residents in the pass. They are clamoring to leave the pass. They tried every means to persuade them, but to no avail.
If anyone is willing to obey, please ask the general to make a decision."
"First he burned Nanguan to scare our soldiers and civilians, and then he sent letters to disturb our morale and public opinion. When the city started to riot, he then said that the sky has the virtue of good life, and that the King of Song has mercy and compassion, and wants to let the people in the city live..."
"How vicious--" Cheng Yunda's whole body was bursting with energy and blood, and the gauze half wrapped around the burned area was immediately dyed red with bright red blood.
If he did not let the people go, he would be held responsible for the deaths and injuries of the people in this fight. This move would not only gain a good reputation for the Song Army, but also discredit the imperial court.
.The same vicious intentions.
But if the people were released, what about the remaining 20,000 soldiers in the city? Then, wouldn't they be waiting to be burned to death in a fire? Burned to the ground together with the pass?
Cheng Yunda believed that as long as he ordered Beiguan to open the city gate and let people pass through, the already shaken military morale in the city would inevitably dissipate. Even then, some sergeants would inevitably change their clothes and leave the city to escape.
"General, I have the courage to say something." Liu Qichang looked sadly at Cheng Yunda, who had a ferocious look on his face. What's the use of getting angry now? "The fire in Nanguan today at Chenshi was clearly visible to all the soldiers and civilians.
No one should be afraid of it. Now the Song army threatens to throw the fire oil can into the city. With its current prestige, everyone knows that the whole city will be burned to the ground. So after the letter is shot into the city,
The people in the pass were all distraught and fled out of the city. Even the army's sergeants' morale shrank. Just now, the Song army loudly threatened that as long as the general was willing to withdraw from Jinniu Pass, they would not go to Jinniu Pass today.
The Northern soldiers took a step further. This was completely a plan to draw out the firepower and relieved the last worry in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians.
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers and civilians were already in a state of turmoil. If the general fails to take effective measures to appease the soldiers' morale and public opinion, as noon approaches, the situation may get out of hand."
No one wants to die, not even the Forbidden Army from the City of Gods. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
