Chapter 63: The Great Fire of Pingliang City
Countless corpses were piled up under Pingliang City, and the siege battle entered a white-hot battle from the beginning. The trapping equipment carefully designed by Wei Fang gave the Hun army great damage. The air has ten times the strength of Pingliang, but it cannot break through the strong city.
Black Wind stared at blood-red eyes, four years ago, it was under this city that he achieved the most glorious victory in his life, and also experienced the most painful defeat. Today he is here again, with the finest equipment, with the bravest warriors. He still can't take this hateful city.
"Bang ......!" A corpse fell far to the ground, and the trebuchet's tremendous inertia smashed the corpse like a broken leather bag. There is not a single bone in the body, and the head is broken into several petals, and it is impossible to see the face clearly.
This was an insult to the Huns, who had just stormed the city walls and were thrown down by trebuchets.
"Ah......h
The black wind howled like a wolf, swearing its determination to take revenge to the blue sky and white clouds of the grassland. The descendants of the wolf clan could not be insulted like this, and Black Wind swore to the heavens with his own blood. He's going to cross this damn wall and kill all the Chinese people he can meet. Let them know the consequences of angering the wolf clan, and let every well of the Huaxia people fill with corpses. It is necessary to let every felt bag have the slaves of the Chinese people, and let every descendant of the wolf clan enjoy the beauty of the Chinese people.
The autumn prairie winds will not extinguish the flames of vengeance, and this scorching fire will destroy everything. The blood vessels in Black Wind's eyes became unusually thick, and his eyes were red when he looked at them from the outside.
"Huh" Black Wind drew his saber.
"Qiang brothers, brothers of the Yue clan. Along the way, you have seen the blood debt owed by those Chinese people. They have slain your people. Snatch your sisters. plunder your cattle and flocks, and enslave your descendants.
They are the ones who have destroyed your dignity, and they are the ones who have made you slaves. Let's go! The Almighty Kunlun God will bless you. Now I command you, as the Chief, to rush into the city to rescue your sisters and take back your cattle and sheep. Let every Chinese person in Pingliang City become a sheep herding slave on the grassland. Let the Chinese people pay for their blood debts! ”
The excited black wind was very unkind and began to fool the Qiang people and the Yue people, they were bullied the most ruthlessly by the Huaxia people. Under the temptation of interests, they selectively forgot the fact that the Huns had also bullied them. At the critical moment, how can you be worthy of these honest people if you don't use them as cannon fodder.
The siege has been going on for seven days. I believe that the Chinese people in the city have been consumed by much. Before leaving, I had received clear news that the main force of Pingliang City had gone to the interior of Great Qin to quell the turmoil. Those who stayed behind were just improvised miscellaneous soldiers.
Really. The enthusiasm of the Yue people and the Qiang people was fanned by the black wind. One by one, with red eyes, they raised the weapons in their hands and screamed.
"For the honor of the steppe people, for the inviolable dignity of the steppe people, charge!" Hei Feng pointed the long knife in his hand at the Pingliang City Wall. Vows to carry out the fool to the end.
The Yueshi and Qiang people rushed forward with a "whoop". Too many of their relatives have been taken away or killed by the Huaxia people. Today, there are powerful Huns as backers, but they must take revenge.
At the finger of the long knife, tens of thousands of Yue clan people and Qiang people rumbled towards the Pingliang City where floating corpses had accumulated.
This morning, the moat, which had finally been flattened, was filled in several sections more than ten zhang long. Dozens of bullocks, pulling huge siege towers, began to move towards the edge of the city.
The crossbow arrows above and below the city were shot together, and the ground was densely covered with arrows, as if a new crop of wheat had been planted.
"Siege towers?" Seeing that the Huns actually had siege towers. Wei Fang was really surprised. I didn't expect the Huns to build this thing, so will there be a way for the cities of China to survive in the future? If there is an inner ghost as Hou Ye guessed. Then this inner ghost is too vicious. This is a major event involving the long-term peace and stability of the entire Chinese nation.
"Mr. Celestial, how is this good. How could they have this thing? Seeing the tall siege tower slowly approaching the city wall, Li Si's face began to turn white. It was so tall that it was almost as level as the walls of Pingliang. As long as you stand on the Gongcheng Tower, you can jump directly to the city wall. Looking at the dense rivets on the huge siege tower, Li Si's mind began to draw an arc. The Huns, when did they have such a high level of handicrafts.
"Throw the oil down and pour it on the corpses." Wei Fang gave the military order in a cold voice, and barrels of fire oil were poured on the corpses stacked several layers under the city. Dozens of soldiers were armed with torches, just waiting for Wei Fang's order.
The attacking Yue and Qiang people were hiding behind the tall siege towers, and the dense crossbow arrows were helpless against these people. Even a powerful three-bow bed crossbow would not do much damage.
"Bang dang" "Bang dang" ...... After more than a dozen loud bangs, the huge siege tower set up the Pingliang city wall. Iron hooks caught the battlements of arrows, and no one could separate them from the walls anymore.
Dozens of torches were thrown down in unison, almost as soon as the torches touched the ground. A blue flame erupted from the corpse doused with fire oil.
The blue karmic fire burned the stiff corpses, and several Huns rushed up to extinguish the flames with their feet. As a result, a burning skin bag was suddenly thrown down from the city wall, and the "bang" skin bag burst in the air.
The burning fire oil stained the whole body of these Huns, and the dozen or so brave Huns who rushed up suddenly turned into fire men. With their hands outstretched, they flicked helplessly against their burning robes. The mouth spurted out, the most primitive howl of human beings in the chest, even the slaughtering man who was accustomed to seeing dead people on the battlefield couldn't help but be terrified when he heard it.
Soon they were burned and writhed helplessly on the ground. There were their relatives in the procession, and these people rushed up at the risk of their lives, took off their robes and tried to extinguish the flames on them. But what awaits these brave ones is another burning oil packet.
"Bang" The second oil ladle fell from the sky and exploded in mid-air. The scattered fire oil burned wherever it was stained, and the shirtless Huns were even more miserable. The burning oil poured directly on their skin, and the white skin was burned in an instant.
The Huns screamed and wailed, and billowing green smoke rose above them. The screams that came out of his mouth were like Shin Yin, a demon coming out of hell, and they followed in the footsteps of their relatives. Like their loved ones, burned to the ground. Tormented by intense pain, they rolled and howled, and scratched helplessly with their hands. And their relatives were already lying on the ground and not moving, their bodies twisted awkwardly, and the smoking fire snake was bubbling out of their mouths and eyes.
Watching his own people being burned alive was a huge shock. Even the bravest people can hardly accept such a death, it is so miserable that no one dares to come forward to help or even approach them. I'm afraid I'll suffer the same fate as them.
The Yueshi people and the Qiang people who had just rushed up turned around and ran, even if they had no biological experience. But just listening to the voices of the dying people was shocking enough. They didn't have the courage of the Huns to see death as home.
Under the scorching fire, the corpse soon dripped out of the corpse oil, and the mixture of human oil and fire oil burned even more violently. Huge siege engines began to smoke, and then flames erupted. When a burning leather bag is thrown from the open drawbridge after the siege tower. It's purgatory!
The huge siege tower turned into a giant torch, burning incessantly under the clear sky. Smoke obscured the sun, and black clouds rushed into the sky. The burning Hun warriors were howling, and the howl was soaring into the sky with the black clouds.
Hei Feng's face immediately became ugly, and he thought that with the siege equipment provided by that person, he could capture Pingliang. But I didn't expect that it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build a good thing. It was nothing more than a huge coffin, and the Hun warriors were fluttering in the fire. One by one, the burning men couldn't run far, and they fell to the ground and became a charred corpse with a black and unslick appearance.
From sunrise to sunset, after paying a huge amount of human life. Pingliang City stopped, and both sides were exhausted. unanimously collected the troops and returned to the camp.
The wounded barracks was crowded with wounded soldiers, and Wei Fang hated it a little when he saw it.
"Brother Tonggu! Hou Ye's guess is eighty percent true, someone in Xianyang wants us to die. "There was a lot of busyness everywhere, and there were only two people left in the city tower, Wei Fang and Li Si. Wei Fang looked out the window and said hatefully.
As if pricked by a needle, Lees looked out the window. Seeing that no one was approaching here, he whispered, "You mean ......!" ”
"I'm afraid it's true nine times out of ten, Lu Buwei doesn't have such a big ability. It's not so bold, look at our soldiers. Eighty percent of the wounds were under the Qin crossbow, and there was also the siege vehicle, which was chiseled for siege. There are also today's siege towers, which of them were able to be made by the Huns. If they can make such a thing, I am afraid that all the rivers and mountains of China will be occupied by them.
Fortunately, Hou Ye secretly made this thing of fierce fire oil. If we didn't have this thing today, our casualties would have increased by at least forty percent. Wei Fang leaned back in his chair and grinded his teeth, and Li Si was silent as if thinking about something.
"Is that a warning to the Hou Ye, what if they besiege Pingliang?" Wei Fang said with some concern. No matter how much food is stored in Pingliang City, there will be a day when it will be eaten. With the appearance of the current Huaxia equipment, Wei Fang was a little worried about the future of the battle.
"Don't be afraid of this, the food in Pingliang City is enough to eat for at least ten months. Coupled with the fact that we are cultivating potatoes in the greenhouse, we can withstand it for a year and a half, do you think those people outside the city can besiege Pingliang for a year? I'm afraid, the people in the city didn't starve to death. Instead, they starved to death! "Li Si has full confidence in the cool grain. (To be continued.) )
