Chapter 761: Braised pork

The Xixia soldiers who rushed up later moved a simple long ladder, and they rarely climbed high to attack the city, but at the moment they clumsily climbed to the wall, without the threat of bows and arrows, they didn't take the Song army in their eyes at all.

The Song army on the wall of the wall lifted the stones prepared on the wall and smashed them down desperately, the time was in a hurry, and there were not many stones prepared, and every time the probe threw the stones down, there was a danger of being grabbed by the claws and dragged down the wall, and it could not stop the offensive of the Xia army at all.

"Commander Ge, use fire oil, it's almost unstoppable." A guard rushed to Ge Huaimin's side and shouted.

Ge Huaimin stretched out his foot and kicked a ladder away from the wall, and the three or four Xia soldiers on it toppled over and smashed into the crowd along with the ladder; Ge Huaimin cursed and looked up, only to see that several places on the walled wall had been broken through, and from time to time Xia soldiers climbed the walled wall and fought with the Song army, and they would not be able to hold it in a moment.

"Okay, give the order, light a fire oil bottle and smash it into the pile, and burn these dogs." Ge Huaimin shouted, and waved the long sword in his hand to cut a rising Xia Jun with his head and helmet in half.

The guard got the order and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Commander Ge has an order, light the oil bottle and smash it down, and burn these dogs." ”

The Song soldiers at the head of the city were in high spirits when they heard this, and they took out small clay pots from the holes in the inner wall of the wall, and the clay pots were covered with strips of cloth soaked in fire oil, and they lit the torches and picked them up with both hands and smashed them down hard under the wall, and the clay pots smashed on the helmets and armor of the Xia soldiers, and they were smashed and smashed instantly, and the fire oil in them splashed everywhere, and they immediately burned rapidly when they encountered fire; Although there are not many fire oil cans, the fire oil will burn even if it is stained with a few drops on the body, and in a moment, bright flames will burst out on the bodies of the summer soldiers crowded below.

First a nest of flames ignited, and then they spread to each other like a plague, and soon they burned into a piece, and the soldiers of the Xia army shouted and dodged in panic, some threw themselves on the flames, some fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, and some cried and ran into the crowd, hoping that others could help them put out the fire.

The soldiers of the Xia Army who did not burn hurriedly dodged, and when they saw others rushing towards them with fire all over their bodies, they kicked away without thinking, and even directly slashed with knives; It's easy to do if people are on fire, and the war horses are on fire and suddenly become a nightmare for the summer soldiers, dozens of war horses are on fire and trampling everywhere, trampling to death and hurting people, and what is even more terrifying is that they will quickly spread the fire to other people and horses.

From throwing the fire oil tank to a sea of fire under the wall, in a short tea time, the Xia soldiers who were attacking around the wall have fallen into purgatory, hundreds of people's bodies are burning, hundreds of horses are scurrying around with whirring flames, hoarse screams, horses' neighing, the sound of burning skin and flesh, the sigh before dying fills the ear drums, the nose is a pungent scorching smell, mixed with the disgusting smell of meat, the heat wave with puffs of black smoke, straight into the nostrils and into the lungs, teaching people to almost suffocate.

Everyone above and below the wall was dumbfounded, Xia Jun didn't expect it, Song Jun didn't expect it, when Ge Huaimin set off, Su Jin insisted that he bring ten poke of fire oil and thousands of clay pots for backup, Ge Huaimin still felt that it was a burden; Fire oil is useful, just in too small quantities.

If the ten stabbing oil is directly poured down and ignited, it will not have a big effect at all, but according to what Su Jin said, it can be divided into oil cans and then scattered, which can actually cause such a huge effect, no wonder Su Jin warned him that these oil cans are used to save his life, and they can only be used when it is critical, and if they are used properly, they will definitely make the enemy army chaotic, and it is time to evacuate.

The fire under the walled wall is still spreading, and the cavalry who rushed up quickly turned their horses and ran away when they saw the tragic situation under the wall, and dozens of crazy horses on fire galloped down the hillside, and the Xia army under the hillside hurriedly bent their bows and arrows to shoot them halfway.

Yeli Wangrong was stunned in the rear, and muttered and cursed with a blue face, this fire burned at least 2,000 people, and he saw Yuan Dezhong driving more than 3,000 cavalry to attack, but now there are at most 1,000 people running back, and they all lose their armor and unload, some even throw their weapons, and some are bare-chested, obviously the fire spread to the body, so they stripped the armor and clothes of the whole body in order to survive.

"Incompetent waste, tell Yuande to retreat quickly and let him come to see me." Yeli Wangrong gritted his teeth and scolded.

The personal guard cavalry hurriedly rode to deliver the order, and after a while, Yuan Dezhong, whose face was scorched, was brought to Yeli Wangrong.

"King, Song Jun is cunning and tight...... I actually prepared expensive materials such as fire oil, you give me another stick of incense time, and the end will definitely take down this village, and the end will ......" Yuan Dezhong rolled the saddle and dismounted and shouted.

"Give you back time? It's been more than an hour, and you've taken the meal time you promised, now what? There are less than 1,000 of your 4,000 cavalry left, what are you going to do to take this village? Incompetent waste. ”

"King, it's not that you haven't seen it, the Song army seems to have been prepared, usually a small wild village can be guarded by so many Song troops, how can there be fire oil...... The last general was just taken by surprise, and begged the king to give the last general another chance......"

"You are stupider than a pig on the steppe, why didn't you find out the situation before the war? A small Dingchuan village, even if it is a copper wall, it will not be so difficult to attack, in the final analysis, you are incompetent, come to someone! Drag this incompetent man aside and whip him eighty, deprive him of all official positions and degrade him to an ordinary soldier. ”

Yuan Dezhong exclaimed: "Don't, the king, for the sake of the last general who has followed you for many years, for the sake of the last general's loyalty to you, the last general has no merit and hard work, the king, you can't be so kind to the last general." As he exclaimed, he knelt down and climbed forward, hugged Yeli Wangrong's calves and shook them.

Yeli Wangrong raised his foot and kicked him on the heel and scolded: "I also talked to this king about friendship, and told you, if it weren't for your previous merits, how could it be such a light punishment, you lost the first battle, and severely damaged the spirit of my army, and you should have been beheaded immediately, if you shouted again, don't blame this king for being unkind to you." ”

Yuan Dezhong whimpered and got up and cried on the ground, he wanted to get a first merit, but he was smart and mistaken, and the first merit was not caught but was swept to the end, and it took so many years to become a deputy general, and it was all ruined in an instant.

"Don't cry, General Yuan, don't you thank the king for his kindness? You're really, if you don't have that ability, it's better to stay quiet, but you want to be the first to be in the limelight, what is the result? "Some people don't know whether to persuade or gloat.

Yeli Wangrong said: "General Tuoba Qingshou, you take the headquarters to take this village, if something goes wrong, you will cut off your head to show the public." ”

A bearded bald general stepped forward and shouted, "The last general obeys the order and will take this village in one fell swoop." ”

Yeli Wangrong said lightly: "The previous time has consumed all the arrows and strength of the Song army, if you can't take it again, you don't have to come back, just die in front of the battle or cut yourself off." ”

Tuoba Qingshou shouted violently and led the order, poor Yuan Dezhong made wedding clothes for others, and was pulled aside by the guards to strip off his clothes and began to whip, angry and angry, only twenty whips down and fainted.

Xia Jun finally retreated, and there was a mess under the walls of Dingchuan Village, and the steaming corpses twitched and trembled from time to time, shaking and peeling off the burned black shell, revealing the red cooked meat inside, and the straight people who looked at it were disgusted.

The soldiers of the Song army had no time to take care of these, everyone collapsed on the top of the wall to gasp, and the three souls were removed two and a half; Just now, the Xia army attacked the city, and just used the hook to hook and kill more than 400 Song troops on the wall, and dozens of people were killed by the Xia army who attacked the wall, and the casualties have reached nearly 30%; This is still a condescending situation of occupying the terrain, if there is no fire oil to help, I am afraid that most of the casualties will already be killed and wounded, and the Song army is obviously not the opponent of the Xia army in hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that a group of five or six thousand cavalry was marching at the foot of the mountain, it was obvious that the Western Xia army was organizing a new round of attack, and now that the fire oil was gone, the bows and arrows were gone, the stones on the wall were gone, and the low wall was not enough to defend, maybe it was time to evacuate
