While there was chaos at Crash Car, the captain gave an order, and a dozen torches fell from the sky and hit Crash Car directly on the head.
"call."
The surging flames burst into flames instantly, like a fire dragon sweeping over a crashed car. The chaotic Wuhuan people were immediately burned and howled.
"The crashed car was burned."
A captain reported the news directly to Medal.
"It's okay, it's okay, the truck has already reached the city wall."
He had also expected the car to crash and be burned, but now there is good news, that is, although four of the five cars were destroyed, one of them had already reached the city wall.
"Place the tie-board."
Finally arriving at the city wall, the centurion in charge directly ordered the planks to be put down and the city wall to be attacked.
"Peng."
The solid planks were smashed directly on the wall stacks. The Wuhuan soldiers who were already prepared jumped out of the carriages with bucklers and scimitars in hand and launched an attack on the city wall.
"The attack is coming, shield bearer, push forward."
Xu Rong couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the enemy's trucks climbing up the city wall. He was really afraid that his men would blow up all the enemy's trucks on a whim, so he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"promise."
The sword and shield soldiers who were already prepared formed a formation and began to run towards the direction of the building car.
"Instruct the soldiers to rely on the carriages to attack the city wall, and the remaining ladders to continue the attack to disperse the enemy's troops."
When Medal saw the soldiers passing through the carriages to reach the city wall, he immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to pass through the carriages to storm the city wall. At the same time, he ordered other places to attack so that the enemies on the wall could not support them.
Both sides were fighting wits and courage, but it was obvious that the Wuhuan people were slightly inferior. All their actions were expected by Xu Rong. It can be said that Xu Rong directed their attack.
For a time, a bloody fight broke out on the city wall, and soldiers died tragically on the spot.
If we talk about field battles, the Wuhuan people are good at cavalry fighting and can really defeat the Youzhou soldiers. However, when fighting on the city wall, the Youzhou infantry is superior to the Wuhuan cavalry in both equipment and combat skills.
.
The Wuhuan people were allowed to continue to the city through the building carriage, but they were unable to open up the situation at all. They were kept pinned at the bridgehead near the building carriage. If Xu Rong hadn't dared to let the soldiers kill them too hard, maybe they would have all been killed by now.
He was driven off the city wall.
"We can't continue any longer. Instruct the soldiers to use kerosene to burn all the soldiers under the city and repel them."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Rong knew that if he continued like this, the enemy might be suspicious, so he directly ordered the Wuhuan people under the city wall to be burned with kerosene.
Countless soldiers carried the clay pots they had prepared and came directly to the city wall. Some smashed them along the ladder, while others threw them directly under the ladder.
The pungent smell of kerosene instantly filled the air above the city wall.
"Tell the soldiers to retreat immediately. The enemy is going to use kerosene. Hurry, block, block."
Medal in the distance couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the kerosene thrown, because kerosene, the ultimate weapon, is usually placed on the city wall when it is difficult to hold on. However, although they reached the city wall, they did not open up the situation.
It really caught him off guard.
Although Medal had reacted very quickly, before the soldiers under the city wall had time to react, they saw torches falling from the sky one by one and landing on the kerosene.
The surging flames appeared instantly, directly turning the city of Yuyang into a sea of flames. Countless Wuhuan soldiers could only roll and wail in the flames in despair, and finally became nourishment, adding to the power of the flames.
The Wuhuan people retreated from under the Yuyang city wall like a tide, but the arrows on the wall started shooting again, directly killing the Wuhuan enemies who retreated.
In the end, the Wuhuan people abandoned thousands of corpses, left the moat in embarrassment, and returned to Tadun.
"Your Majesty, Medal is guilty and hopes to be punished."
Mei Dal knelt in front of Tadun, with a look of guilt in his eyes. Originally, with the convenience of the car, they should have been able to open up the situation on the city wall, but in the end they ended up with this result. He really felt guilty for Tadun,
I am ashamed of the Wuhuan soldiers and horses who died in battle.
"It's okay. The enemy's resistance was fierce, and they were well prepared. It's great to be able to fight like this."
Tadun glanced at Medal. He knew that he had tried his best, but there was nothing he could do. It was pretty good that the first wave of attacks could lead to such a situation.
"So what do we do now?"
Medal looked at Yuyang City, which was still burning, and couldn't help but frown.
"This is all we can do today. Most of the siege equipment has been burned. It is difficult to attack the city wall without chariots. We order the soldiers to rest temporarily and continue to make siege equipment and attack again tomorrow."
Tadun glanced at the blood-covered Yuyang City Wall and his face turned cold. He turned around and left with his 10,000 elite cavalry, heading towards the military camp.
"withdraw."
When Medal saw Tadun leaving, she could only angrily order the soldiers to retreat back to the camp.
Seeing the Wuhuan people leaving like a tide, Xu Rong couldn't help but smile. This battle was not bad. Although he suffered a lot of damage, the enemy's damage was even greater. Moreover, if he released the kerosene in advance, he would also cause his own damage to the enemy.
The illusion of weak defensive power will not make them despair.
"Clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and repair the damaged walls."
After Xu Rong arranged the situation of the city wall, he went directly down to the city wall to report to Xun Chen the situation of the attack and defense.
"The defeat in the first battle is nothing. Don't be discouraged. Let the scouts look for traces of Wu Gan immediately and see how much time it takes for him to arrive."
Tadun looked at his subordinates who were all gloomy and gloomy, but he smiled slightly and didn't care at all, and directly ordered the scouts to find Wu Gan's troops who were heading here.
"Your Majesty, what should we do if we cannot capture Yuyang City in a short period of time?"
Medal glanced at Tadun and directly expressed her worries.
"It's okay. My people should have arrived at the place where Kebineng is now. As long as we can reach an agreement with him, even if we can't take Yuyang City, we can still lead the army north to the Xianbei Grassland."
Tadun didn't care about Mei Dal's worries. Now that he was invincible, it didn't matter if he couldn't take Yuyang City, he wasn't afraid.
"I see."
Mei Dal was relieved when she heard Tadun's words. As long as they could move forward and retreat freely, nothing would matter.
"Well, go down and calm down the soldiers."
"promise."
Although the Wuhuan Camp had suffered a defeat just now, their military morale was still very stable. After all, they were the attackers, so even if they did not break through the enemy's city, it was acceptable.
More than a dozen people on fast horses left the camp and ran towards the direction of Ugan's advance.
"Sir, the enemy has retreated."
Xu Rong came to Xunchen's house and saluted him with clasped fists.
"How's the battle going?"
Xun Chen glanced at Xu Rong. It was natural to defeat the enemy. He only cared about how the battle was going.
"I destroyed four of the enemy's five tower carts, leaving one behind for them to mount the city wall for close combat. After fighting for half an hour, I released kerosene to burn the enemies below the city. They were defeated and could only retreat, while attacking the city
The equipment was damaged, and the enemy simply retreated with their troops."
Xu Rong directly told Xun Chen all the situation on the battlefield.
"Okay, well done."
After hearing Xu Rong's report, Xun Chen also nodded. This would not only make the enemy despair, but also ensure the safety of the city wall. It seemed that it was a wise move for the lord to accept Xu Rong.
"I have arranged for soldiers to clean the battlefield and repair the city walls. Do you have any other instructions next?"
Xu Rong glanced at Xun Chen and told him his arrangement.
"Immediately arrange for the soldiers to wear leather armor and civilian clothes and climb the city wall."
Xun Chen thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.
"Why is this?"
Xu Rong was a little confused when he heard Xun Chen's words. What did they mean?
"My lord wants to confuse the enemy."
Xian Yufu glanced at Xu Rong from the side and directly said what Xun Chen meant.
"Confuse the enemy?"
Xu Rong couldn't turn his head for a moment.
"Yes, to confuse the enemy, or to show the enemy weakness."
Xun Chen nodded to Xian Yu Fu.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is to let the Wuhuan people see the strong people at the top of our city and think that our troops and horses are weak. This will further stimulate them to continue to attack the city?"
Hearing the rhetoric of showing weakness to the enemy, Xu Rong reacted. Under normal circumstances, people like Minzhuang who have not been trained will not go to the city unless they are forced to do so.
If the enemy sees soldiers in civilian uniforms appearing on their city walls, they will definitely think that the siege has caused considerable losses to them, and their desire to continue the siege will be great.
I have to say that these counselors are indeed comparable to ten of them in terms of understanding people's hearts. No, it should be said that they are not as good as ten of them. Not to mention being stunned, even if they see such a situation on the city wall, they will fall into the trap.
